Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Rainforest's "Land of Bliss"
Time flies quickly, in a blink of an eye, several people have been in Donglu Village for more than a month, during this period, several people in the team are scattered in Donglu Village, everyone is doing their own thing, Zhang Xiaohu in addition to recuperating from his injuries every day, he honestly stayed in the temple, reading navigation books and geography books, trying to be more relaxed during the trip to the South China Sea.
Zhao Zixuan has been wandering around the blacksmith shop in the village, as if he wants to build some equipment, but he has always been mysterious and unwilling to tell others.
Li Yichen was also soaked in the library of the temple, but all she read were records of some secrets about this world.
King Peter was obsessed with studying the customs and customs of Donglu Village, especially those ancient people who traveled back in time, and he was the object of his focus. In his words, this is a good opportunity to study the living habits of ancient people, and he will publish relevant papers when he returns in the future, and he will definitely be able to win extraordinary honors in the field of society.
Yan Cannon didn't have so many thoughts and ideas, but when he was wandering around the village, he put forward his own opinion on the defense system of the village, according to his original words, it was clear that this Donglu Village was robbed by people, and if he gave him two squads of troops, he could raze the entire village to the ground. With his professional opinion, the defense of Donglu Village can be strengthened at least dozens of times, and it will not be so passive during the period of great replacement.
As for Shenpo Chenyi, from the moment she returned to Donglu Village, no one had seen her again, and it was not clear what she was busy with.
That afternoon, Zhang Xiaohu was mysteriously called to his room by Zhao Zixuan, and as soon as he entered the room, Zhao Zixuan closed the door and took out a narrow wooden box from under the bed.
He looked at Zhang Xiaohu mysteriously and said proudly: "Old Zhang, guess what is in this box?" ”
Zhang Xiaohu glanced at it casually, sat on the chair by himself, and said with a smile: "You have been mysteriously just for this thing these days, it seems that it should be a weapon, we have so many weapons, why are you still working on this." ”
Zhao Zixuan stroked the wooden box and said, "Those are not what I want to use, but I designed them myself and found someone to build them." ”
"If you don't open it for me to see, then I'll go!" Zhang Xiaohu joked.
"Don't go! I'll show you to someone when you're gone! After speaking, Zhao Zixuan opened the wooden box and took out a strange-shaped weapon from it, only to see that it was a three-stage sickle, and each section was connected by chains. It also contained a fist-sized hammer and a triangular spear head.
"What the hell is this?" Zhang Xiaohu was really curious about this weapon.
"Hey, hey!" Zhao Zixuan explained with a smile: "This is a weapon I invented, the weapon head can be replaced according to the actual situation, the three short handles on the back can be combined into an iron rod, or split into a three-section stick, after it is done, I tried it once, and it is quite powerful!" ”
"Lao Zhao! You've been studying this thing for so many days, and you can do it! Zhang Xiaohu was quite speechless to Zhao Zixuan, no matter how powerful this thing is, can it have a firearm.
"Hey! Don't look down on it! I'm telling you, this thing is no worse than your sword! Zhao Zixuan didn't care about Zhang Xiaohu's opinion at all, and carefully put away his baby.
"Alright! All right! I'll see! Zhang Xiaohu looked at his partner and didn't say anything else.
"What the hell do you say Chenyi is doing again? Why after so many days, I still don't want to mention the trip to the south, I really don't want to wait any longer. Zhao Zixuan asked.
"I think Chenyi will definitely tell us when it's arranged, don't worry!"
"By the way, there's something for you!" After speaking, Zhao Zixuan took out another box from under the bed and took out a broken scale armor inside.
"You put on this armor, don't get hurt so easily like last time!" He handed the Shattered Scale Armor to Zhang Xiaohu.
Zhang Xiaohu looked at the armor weighing more than ten catties in his hand, and couldn't cry or laugh for a while, he asked, "Lao Zhao, are you sure I want to wear this?" ”
"Of course, the craftsmanship of the craftsmen in this Donglu Village is really good, I just said my thoughts, but I didn't expect him to really create it!"
"You crossed?" Zhang Xiaohu asked again.
"Of course not, it's so heavy, why am I wearing it!" Zhao Zixuan felt that Zhang Xiaohu's question was really redundant.
"You still know it's so heavy. With this, I don't have to do anything, I can exhaust myself to death just by walking! Zhang Xiaohu said with a smile.
Zhao Zixuan's face changed, and he also realized this, he sighed: "Alas! Forgot to think about this! Zhang Xiaohu looked at his lost partner, he knew that Zhao Zixuan just wanted to do what he could to realize his value in the team. He encouraged: "Thank you, Lao Zhao, I like this treasure armor very much, I will definitely find a chance to wear it!" ”
Soon, the time of departure was set.
To everyone's surprise, this time Chenyi actually organized 20 villagers to accompany him, and these people drove ten carriages loaded with various supplies.
On the carriage, Chen Yi said to everyone that she had sent many villagers south in advance to build ships, and now they were about to be built, and these villagers would act as sailors and work on the boats to help herself and others get to Tianzhu Mountain as soon as possible. And he added that another group of people would join them halfway through.
Speaking of which, he also deliberately looked at Zhang Xiaohu and the three of them, saying that he would give them another surprise at that time. As for what it was, she never said anything.
From the south of Donglu Village, after three days will pass through a large area of rainforest, the team will try to walk along the outside of the rainforest, although the road may increase some, but the safety is much higher, in that geography book records, this rainforest is called the Land of Bliss, in which there live a lot of extremely dangerous creatures, one of which is called the dragon, said that it is 100 meters long, the huge mouth can open to swallow the sky.
Elysium is a huge area, and the surrounding area is mostly muddy wetlands, so the convoy is very difficult to walk, and some trees need to be cut down to pave the way to pass. Fortunately, there are many people in the entourage, but there is no need for Zhang Xiaohu and a few people to do it themselves, they only need to hold weapons and guard outside the rainforest.
Although the hundred-meter-long dragon was never seen, they saw another amazing animal outside the rainforest, a giant bird about 3 meters tall, all but yellow and black except for the yellow feathers on the belly, and the neck was very long and covered with feathers. The body is hypertrophied and the lower limbs are stubby. When these giant birds flocked in front of everyone, everyone was startled, but this giant bird has an extremely gentle temperament, and only eats some grass seeds and leaves.
The first moment King Peter saw these giant birds, he excitedly called out their names: "Giant moa!" According to him, the bird became extinct as early as 1800 AD, and for the next few hundred years, paleontologists could only study the skeleton of this moa.
He was still gleefully observing, "Bang! At the sound of a gunshot, the two giant moa that were sticking together fell to the ground, and the rest of the moa craned their necks one by one to take a look, and continued to look for food leisurely, without the slightest sense of crisis!
Yan Dacang carried the gun, with a smile on his face, and secretly applauded himself in his heart.
"You... You... You! King Peter angrily rushed to Yan Dacang's face, stretched out his finger and pointed, but when he saw Yan Dacang's evil face, he didn't dare to say what he wanted to say!
Yan Dacang looked at King Peter, whose face was flushed, kicked him away, and said with a smile: "This body of meat!" If Lao Tzu doesn't fight it, heaven will not tolerate it! ”
Although Zhang Xiaohu has an opinion on Yan Dacang's behavior, he didn't say much, this Yan Dacang is such a real evil person, he has never concealed his rudeness and barbarism, this kind of person lives a reckless and simple life, as long as you don't mess with him, he doesn't do much harm to others!
Yan Dacang stood beside the corpses of the two moa birds, stood still for a while, and suddenly walked back empty-handed, muttering, "Mother and daughter!" Seeing the two miscellaneous beasts so affectionate, Lao Tzu was embarrassed to eat it! ”
Zhang Xiaohu felt curious, walked over to check, and only then did he understand the meaning of Yan Dacang's words, only to see that the necks of the two moa birds were intertwined, and they looked at each other before they died, looking like they were in love with each other.
King Peter came to the front and said with emotion: "Moa birds have been monogamous all their lives, and they live together for the rest of their lives, and when one of them dies, often the other does not want to live alone, and it is a complete lovebird, much nobler than the mandarin duck!" The two of them can die together, which can be regarded as a kind of luck! ”
