Chapter 179: The Snake God Conjecture
"Why did you come back early, were you kicked out?" asked Lang Nado, looking at Bill, who was covered in injuries.
"Who dares to drive me away? I don't think it's fun to mess around with them, or it's more fun to learn from you. Bill didn't bother to say anything to Lang Naduo, so he walked straight to Wang Xijia's feet and prostrated like a docile puppy. Absent-minded on the way, he was almost eaten by the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
"Oh, what a sturdy cow. It's just that the muscles are too tight, and making it into steak may affect the taste, so it can only be made into beef jerky. The steak is still more delicious than the fat and thin snowflake cow. Wang Xika thought as he stroked the huge hump of Bill's backpack.
Wang Xika is not an animal protectionist, he eats everything. But he is also an empathetic person, and if he has a dog as a pet, then he will not eat dog meat. Now that I have tamed a cow as a mount, I naturally don't like to eat beef very much recently.
Looking at Bill's obedient appearance, Wang Xijia suddenly became interested. He asked the Indians for an Indian flute, and rode on Bill's back to play the famous Chinese flute song "Little Herding Cow".
As soon as this mischievous and cheerful flute sounded out, it immediately won the applause of everyone. Although the Indians also had flutes, they generally played more ethereal tunes such as "The Last Indian". I never thought that the flute could also play the cheerful style of "Little Shepherd Boy".
Now that they hear such different music, they are naturally overjoyed, and they pester Wang Xijia to teach them this new tune. Therefore, music has no borders or races. Even if different people don't understand the language and can't understand what the other party says, as long as they have a certain "music cell", the other party can understand it.
Seeing that everyone likes the song "Little Cattle", Wang Xika is very happy. The so-called bosom friend is hard to find, and it is the coolest thing for those who are engaged in music to meet those who understand music. So he rode the ox all day and night, and bragged about the small herd.
Wang Xijia grew up in the city and never herded cattle. But deep down in his heart, there is still a trace of "shepherd boy complex", he likes to imagine that he is a shepherd boy riding on the back of a cow, playing the flute and taking the cow around every day to play, go to the pond to swim or something.
It's a pity that most of the cattle in the impression of the shepherd boy are buffaloes. Bill is not a buffalo and it is not known if he can swim. Wang Xijia suddenly wanted to try Bill's water, so he drove it to the river.
Who knows how to rush, Bill just won't get into the water. Once, Wang Xika rushed Bill from afar, trying to use the inertia of running at high speed to bring Bill into the water. Who knew that this Bill would make an emergency stop, rushed to the river, and threw Wang Xijia into the water with an emergency stop, breaking the ancestral flute of the blood tooth. This flute was made by Grandpa Bloodtooth's grandfather when he was a child, and Bloodtooth has always been with him, who knows that it will be broken like this, and there is no choice but to make a new one.
"Damn, why does this cow have so many feints? Forget it, I'll never teach it to swim again!" Wang Xika said as he got up wet from the water.
In fact, Bill can swim, as a cow, swimming is a basic skill, and its swimming skills are no worse than that of a buffalo. It's just that Bill is a bison with long hair. Like other hairy mammals, Bill doesn't like to swim. Because the hair is wet with water, it is difficult to move and is prone to colds. Dogs can also swim, but the longer the fur, the less likely they are to swim, and the same goes for it.
Buffaloes, on the other hand, have much less body hair than other cattle, so they can soak in water for a long time. Mammals with little body hair, such as hippos, rhinoceros, and elephants, are very fond of swimming.
Wang Xijia wanted to give Bill a haircut and cut his hair short. But think it's winter, so let's just give up.
"Let's go! Go to Niagara!" I've been at camp long enough, my injuries are almost healed, it's time to go!
"Let's compete to see who can run faster!" Wang Xijia had a whim, wanting to race his mount.
Bloodfang, Grey Beaver, and Lang Nado each transformed, Zack rode Lielie, and Wang Xika rode Bill and ran together. At the end of a race, the short-distance ones were the fastest, the Bloodfangs, the Grey Beavers, and the Langnado were comparable, and the Bills were the slowest. But long distance is Bill's world.
It's also related to everyone's eating habits. Tyrannosaurus rex, wolf, and jaguar are all carnivores and are good at sprints, while Bill is a herbivore and is good at endurance running.
It is about 1,800 kilometers from Alaska to Niagara in the Great Lakes region, and if you walk 100 kilometers a day, you can reach it in less than 20 days.
Everyone stopped and enjoyed the scenery of the Americas along the way. The land of America is still very rich, and there are many plains, which are suitable for production. If it is mechanized farming, then one person can be responsible for tens of thousands of acres of cultivated land. It's a pity that the Americans don't farm much nowadays, and live entirely on hunting and gathering wild fruits. Only occasionally some people will grow pumpkins, corn, etc., but none of them are on a large scale.
Also, if you don't have to farm to eat and wear, who would take the initiative to farm?
Wang Xika decided to speed up the process and get the American Indians to start farming on a large scale as soon as possible. When the time comes, as soon as the factory is built and the tractor is opened, this vast plain will immediately become 10,000 acres of fertile land. Not now, of course. This time I came to the Americas mainly to travel, and to put it bluntly, I came to play.
There are still a lot of American Indians, most of them are bloodfangs, and the gray beavers are subordinates. After all, the Apache and Komochi are the two largest ethnic groups in North America, and they are very diverse.
Wang Xijia had two Indian leaders in his team, so his itinerary was basically from one Indian camp to another.
There are no phones in North America, and there are no photos or anything. But the strange thing is that every Indian who meets knows Bloodfang and Grey Beaver, knows that they are patriarchs. You must know that even in Wang Xijia's own territory in Eurasia, there are photos and phones, and there are many people who don't know what Wang Xika looks like, and they don't even know that Wang Xika is their leader. I don't know how these Indians knew Bloodfang and Grey Beavers.
It turns out that the Indians are very mobile, and the bloodfangs and gray beavers run around every day, and the whole of North America is run all over by them. In addition, most of the Indians here are transformed, and their sense of smell is extremely sensitive, and they can know where the other party is coming from by smelling it.
The Indians were already very generous, and when they saw Wang Xijia and his group, they all rushed to take out the best things in the house and share them. In addition to food, there were also a large number of gold artifacts - it turned out that there were many gold mines in North America, and the Indians also found some in their long life and labor.
Very enthusiastic about people, the attitude towards mount Indians is very different. Seeing Zack's Tyrannosaurus Rex mount fierce, everyone was very scared.
The Indians generally walked around the Tyrannosaurus rex when they encountered it in the wild, and they did not think that this animal could also be domesticated. Zack, the hairy man who domesticated it, is naturally very reverent, worshipping almost like a god.
Everyone's attitude towards the bison Bill is different - bison is the traditional diet of the Indians, and it is also the staple food of the Indians. When you see Bison Bill, it's like seeing a dish.
Bloodfang repeatedly told everyone that Bill was a mount and couldn't be eaten. But everyone still couldn't help drooling, saying that they could change Wang Xika to other mounts, and there were horses here.
Indian horses were also good mounts, and it was much better to use a horse as a mount than a bison as a mount.
To be honest, Wang Xika is also very hungry for steak, but he once promised Lie Lie that he would let it go home in a month, and he couldn't break his word. Yu never let go and kept protecting Bill.
Wang Xijia noticed a detail, the Indians also used snakes for food. Their ability to catch snakes is no worse than that of the Chinese, so why are they so afraid of the "snake gods" of the Great Lakes region?
"Because these snakes are just ordinary creatures, and people are ordinary creatures, there is nothing to be afraid of. But the snake god is different, it is a god. How could an ordinary person be able to beat the gods?"
Wang Xijia has heard such legends many times, but he does not believe in any "snake gods". It's just that before he felt that the so-called "snake god" should be some kind of poisonous snake, similar to the black mamba and the silver krait.
He changed this view in the Indian camp, because the Indians also used poisonous rattlesnakes, king snakes, pit vipers and other snakes for cooking. Presumably, the name "snake god" does not simply refer to its toxicity.
"How big is that snake god, is it as big as Lielie?" asked Wang Xijia, pointing at the Tyrannosaurus rex.
This question stumped the Indians, because no one had ever seen the snake god alive. After a long silence, an old Indian said, "The snake god is bigger than this Tyrannosaurus rex." ”
"Have you ever seen the snake god?" asked Wang Xijia happily.
"I have not seen the snake god, and everyone who has seen the snake god is dead. But I once saw the reflection of the snake god in the water. The old man said.
If the snake is in the water, then how can we see the reflection? If the snake is in the water, then how can we see the reflection? If we have not seen it with our own eyes, it means that the "snake god" is not on the shore. If you're on the shore, you can see it at a glance.
Could it be that this "snake god" can fly?
The old man really gave an affirmative answer, saying that this snake god can fly.
Able to fly and with a huge body, Wang Xijia suddenly thought - could it be that this "snake god" turned out to be a dragon? The appearance of a dragon is similar to that of a big snake. And it is said that dragons have nests in the east, west, north, and south. Maybe on the American continent, there is also a dragon's lair?
Wang Xijia had seen dragons, so he quickly took out his camera and showed the effects of the dragons to the Indians. In the end, the "snake god" they are talking about is not the dragon they photographed.
