The words of the village chief of Qige also made Zhang Tie ponder, if you make a judgment based on these points just now, the beast tide in the Ice and Snow Wasteland this time is indeed too weird, no wonder all the wilderness guardians of the Guardian God Sect have been recruited.
"Did the Guardian of the Wilds show up for anything?"
"I don't know, that person just stayed in the village of Kurgan for one night, and the situation he wanted to know was what I just said, and after learning about it, that person left!" Speaking of this, Chief Ziggy seemed to remember something, "By the way, that man has a pet, a very large black eagle, which fell from the sky when I saw him off the village, and it scared me at the time.
The strange beast tide, the wilderness guardian of the Guardian God Sect who came here with the black giant eagle to investigate the truth, after stringing these contents together, I don't know why, what appeared in Zhang Tie's mind was not anything else, but the iron-beaked ibises that he met in the air on the way to Huaiyuan County by airship, because of the attacks of those iron-beaked ibis, until now, many air traffic routes on Weiyi Cida 6 have been greatly affected, and some are even in danger of being cut off.
Is there a connection?
Zhang Tie almost instinctively smelled a hint of danger, but this matter had no negative impact on him for the time being, not only did it not have a negative impact, but it was easier for him to condense the Seven Power Fruit, so this matter also made Zhang Tie put a label of attention in his heart, and then put it down.
For Zhang Tie at this time, no matter what will happen in the future, only improving his strength is the most important.
Today's dinner is very rich, which is also a rare delicacy that Zhang Tie has eaten during this time, especially the self-brewed sea buckthorn wine in the village. The smell is unforgettable.
The process of making sea buckthorn wine in Kurgan Village is very simple, it is to wash the picked sea buckthorn, knead it, and then mix it with sugar and put it in wooden barrels to ferment, similar to the fermentation process of wine. The village chief Zige said that almost everyone in the ice and snow wasteland can make sea buckthorn wine, and everyone also grew up drinking sea buckthorn wine, which not only tastes very good, but also people who drink it regularly are very good and almost never get sick.
If it was before. Zhang Tie must be surprised, but at this time, Zhang Tie knew very well that the process of brewing sea buckthorn wine by the aborigines in the ice and snow wasteland was actually the fermentation process of enzymes, although people here may not know what enzymes are. But the wisdom condensed in life made them instinctively find a way to easily obtain a large amount of enzymes in the ice and snow wasteland.
The people here seem to be inseparable from sea buckthorn, and the sea buckthorn tea, sea buckthorn wine, sea buckthorn oil, and the sea buckthorn branches that are broken down in autumn to store as winter firewood have all been closely related to the lives of the people here.
Even sea buckthorn planted outside the village. It has also become a barrier for this village, and the neat sea buckthorn trees are like rows of guards, because with these sea buckthorn trees, even wild beasts cannot approach the village from all directions unscrupulously, but must be approached from some passages reserved by people, which greatly increases the probability of those dangerous large beasts being seen when they approach the village.
In addition, sea buckthorn also has the ability to fertify the soil, and those originally barren land, as long as the sea buckthorn is planted for a few years, some plants with tenacious vitality such as potatoes can be planted. Feed people. The villages in the ice and snow wasteland often interplant wheat in the sea buckthorn forest, and the harvest is very good.
It can be said that without sea buckthorn, the people of the entire ice and snow wasteland may not be able to survive as they are now. The state of existence and quality of life of all people is affected by this plant, because it is so important to the people of the Ice and Snow Wasteland.
It is this kind of seabuckthorn that looks ordinary, can be seen everywhere, has already become the most important guarantee for the survival of people here in the ice and snow wasteland, seabuckthorn is not only a source of food for people, its fruits and leaves are not only convenient to store, but also can be eaten, and is the main energy fuel, so that people can spend the long winter here, or the most important cash crop, responsible for the export of gold coins for the people here, and finally take into account the role of clearing the wasteland and fertile soil, constantly expanding the living space of the people here, It's hard to imagine how the people of the Ice and Snow Wasteland would have lived without sea buckthorn.
While eating and drinking with Zhang Tie, the village chief of Qige introduced the role of sea buckthorn, and when Zhang Tie heard those words, an idea suddenly popped up in his heart, I don't know if it would become more magical to let sea buckthorn with such a wide range of uses complete another mutation and evolution in the Black Iron Castle.
As soon as this idea appeared in Zhang Tie's mind, Zhang Tie felt a little excited, this sense of accomplishment of creating a species with his own hands did make people feel very cool, Zhang Tie was thinking that it was possible to create a new sea buckthorn species with more powerful effects and various effects, suddenly, a thought crossed his heart and hit him like lightning. made Zhang Tie's body, which was eating, stiffen suddenly.
What would happen if the entire Ice and Snow Wasteland was filled with new sea buckthorn species that they had created themselves, and the inhabitants of the area had become accustomed to a better life brought by the new sea buckthorn and became dependent on it?
Zhang Tie's body trembled slightly, and he thought of some of the things he had seen in the general history of the human race that he had learned in Huaiyuan Hall.
Before the cataclysm, the demons and their agents and lackeys in the human race used scientific and technological means to control the seeds of grain on this planet, and then controlled human agriculture and food production without a trace.
The food seeds provided by the demons to humans are inherently poisonous, and the toxins in those seeds are not ordinary chemical toxins, but more terrifying genetic viruses, and the food grown from those seeds carries those gene viruses, so they can regulate human genes and DNA, making human beings short-lived, weak, and mentally retarded. and even loss of fertility. The food seeds provided by the demons to the human race are actually castrated by the human race, so that the human race will forever lose the ability to fight the demon race, as long as the food that grows from those seeds, the human race must submit to the rule of the demon race, there is no second way.
At that time, the Chinese were under the conspiracy of the demons. The entire race paid a heavy price before finally awakening and becoming the backbone of leading the human race to resist the demons and fighting two holy wars with the demons.
If you make a new species of sea buckthorn yourself, you certainly won't use it to poison these people who live on this land, but. If the people here will rely on those sea buckthorn trees to live, then, just like when the demons used food seeds to rule over humans, they can also control and use those sea buckthorn trees to have a strong influence in the ice and snow wasteland, and the logical relationship between the two is the same.
If it had been before, Zhang Tie might not have such an ambitious idea. But at this moment, as soon as this idea appeared, it immediately spread like a weed in Zhang Tie's heart.
Seeing Zhang Tie stop his movements, Village Chief Qige thought that the things they entertained Zhang Tie were not in line with Zhang Tie's appetite, and asked with some concern, "What, don't you like to eat this?" ”
"Ahh Of course not! Zhang Tie laughed suddenly, "I just heard you talk about the many functions of those sea buckthorns, and I couldn't help but want to find some seeds of this plant and bring them back as souvenirs!" ”
"Do you want sea buckthorn seeds?" Chief Ziggy asked.
"Is there still anything in the village, if not, I'll go to the field to find a little by myself, it's the same!"
The village chief of Zige laughed out loud and said boldly, "There is nothing else in Kurgan Village, there are many sea buckthorn seeds, and those sea buckthorn seeds are used to extract oil, and there are a lot of piles in the village mill, and there are still hundreds of kilograms." You can take as much as you want, and if you have a place to stay, I'll ask all the young people in the village to send them to you!" ”
"It doesn't take so much, just a small bag, half a kilogram is enough!"
"Hassan. Go, find a small sack, and go to the village mill and fill Peter with a small bag of sea buckthorn seeds! The village chief Zige touched his little grandson named Hashan, who was only six or seven years old, and said.
Hearing this, the grandson of the head of the village of Qige glanced at Zhang Tie, nodded and rushed out of the door, and after a while, he came back with a small sack containing almost one or two kilograms of sea buckthorn seeds......
Seeing those sea buckthorn seeds, Zhang Tie narrowed his eyes slightly, the more seeds, for the Black Iron Fortress, as long as he is willing to invest, it means that he can obtain a sea buckthorn that completes evolution and mutation in the shortest possible time, and more is not needed, as long as he uses different schemes to invest different merit values, aura values and basic energy reserves in the Black Iron Fortress at the same time for more than three hundred sea buckthorn seeds, he may be able to obtain a new sea buckthorn seed at one time. No matter how low the chance of these sea buckthorn species being mutated and evolved in the Black Iron Castle is, it can't match the numerical advantage they get by investing so many seeds at the same time. This is to seek qualitative change by quantitative change.
Thinking that sometime in the future, the entire Ice and Snow Wasteland would be full of sea buckthorn trees that would be "obedient" to him, Zhang Tie laughed.
After dinner, it was already dark, and Zhang Tie, who was chatting with Village Chief Zig in the courtyard, and constantly expanding his knowledge of the Ice and Snow Wasteland, met Ivan's teenagers again, and those teenagers came to invite Zhang Tie to the bonfire party in the evening.
"Go, the night belongs to you young people, and only you young people are there at the bonfire, we old things won't be in the way!" The village chief of Qige also encouraged Zhang Tie to go to the bonfire party to have a look.
Zhang Tie readily agreed without thinking too much, anyway, it was still early to go to bed at this time, everyone was young, and it was nothing to go and see.
Seeing that Zhang Tie agreed, Ivan and several teenagers were very happy, and when they were about to leave, Ivan pointed to the heavy machine crossbow that Zhang Tie put in the house of the village chief of Qige, "Can you bring that big guy with you, many people have never seen such a machine crossbow, and many people in the village want to open their eyes!" ”
Zhang Tie picked up the crossbow without saying a word, and everyone laughed.
The bonfire in Kurgan village is held in a clearing in the middle of the village, and every evening in the evening, this is the world of young people and children in Kurgan village, where everyone sets up a large fire, sits around it, and chats. Drinking, singing, dancing, and exchanging the day's worth of the day, while restless teens wrestle or compete with their peers. It's very lively.
The hard-working girls of the village of Kurgan, who had been helping out at home during the day, also came out, and the girls sat with the boys, laughing and playing together, without being shy.
Children are running around the fire, catching fireflies or playing games of hide and seek.
In the evening of Kurgan village, no one in the village who is married or elderly will come to such a party. Therefore, there are basically no constraints here, and it is all the world of young people.
Ivan said that such gatherings were held every day, and they were not specially organized for Zhang Tie, as long as the weather allowed or there was nothing else, the young people of the village would spend time here every night. Everyone has loved to attend this kind of party since childhood.
Before he came to the venue, Zhang Tie saw a raging fire burning here in the distance and heard the sound of laughter and children playing here.
When he came to the scene, Zhang Tiexian had about four or five hundred people at the whole party, not too much, not too little, and the atmosphere at the scene was lively and casual. All the people here, the oldest in their early twenties, the youngest in their five or six years old, were still running around with bare butts, and all of them had a relaxed and happy expression on their faces.
When he came to Zhang Tie's place, he noticed that on the edge of the bonfire, there were more than 20 young people who had carved out an area there, and a few straw men wrapped in animal skins were playing a game of throwing spears dozens of meters away, and everyone was very happy.
What kind of bonfire is this, it is clearly an open-air party held by the young people of Kurgan village every night. Every night I have this lively party and communication with a whole bunch of familiar peers. This kind of treatment is really something that a small citizen like himself, who has lived in the city since he was a child, can't enjoy. The place where young people in the city meet is the bar, but the atmosphere and feel of the bar are not comparable to here. Not to mention, I was so poor at the beginning. I simply can't afford to go to a place like a bar to spend money.
At this moment, to be honest, Zhang Tie was a little envious of the nightlife of these young people in Kurgan Village. Such a happy, harmonious, and comfortable party, everyone did not spend any money, only a fire, but everyone's happiness was something that many people could not buy with a lot of gold coins.
Zhang Tie's arrival did not cause any sensation, his appearance did not have any sound and light effects, nor was it grand, everyone here was very casual and comfortable, Zhang Tie and Ivan naturally sat in the circle where the young men of Bourman met during the day today, and everyone chatted happily.
The heavy metal crossbow that Zhang Tie brought in his hand seemed to attract more attention than Zhang Tie, and as soon as the big guy took it out, a large number of young people immediately surrounded him, and they all wanted to come over and try it.
After teaching the men how to adjust the torque gear used by the big guy to wind the hydraulic slide, the big guy left Zhang Tie's hand and began to pass around and touch among a crowd of young people, many of whom wanted to see if they could pick up this heavy metal machine crossbow.
The people who can pick up this machine crossbow are full of admiration when they look at Zhang Tie, and those who can't pick up the machine crossbow with a red face will not be too embarrassed, but a little embarrassed, because there will always be bursts of good-natured laughter around.
After obtaining Zhang Tie's consent, several young people wanted to try the power of this heavy metal crossbow, and Ivan said that this crossbow could pierce the iron-toothed hyena at a distance of 100 meters, and it could make the crossbow bolt sink into the ground of the gray hills without revealing it at all, which made everyone a little eager to try.
When the crossbow was tested, almost all the young people came over to see the excitement.
The place where the young people in Kurgan village tested the power of the crossbow was where a group of young people were learning javelin throwing skills just now, and Zhang Tie asked those young people to put three targets that were originally used for throwing javelins into a line, and then test firing them 4o meters away.
Because almost none of these young people in the village could easily hold the big guy and shoot at a flat point like Zhang Tie, so the big guy was directly carried by several young people in the village to a wooden vaulting horse played by a child more than half a person tall, and everyone shot again when the vaulting horse dragged the metal tripod opened by the big guy.
Bulman was the first to test-fire, inserting a metal crossbow magazine into the magazine slot under the crossbow, and after sliding the winding rod eight times in a row, he finally clicked the heavy crossbow on the string. Then, with one shoulder against the folding movable crossbow handle of the crossbow, the trigger was pulled after a few seconds of aiming.
Anyone barely heard the slight beep of the crossbow, but only saw three targets in the distance explode at the same time.
"Wow......" all the young people of Kurgan village exclaimed, the power of this crossbow was beyond the imagination of many.
"This thing can't be made even in Eskir City...... "I've seen heavy machine crossbows made in Eskil City." There is no such power, and there is no such delicacy! ”
"This thing should cost a lot of money!" Ivan looked at the crossbow and asked Zhang Tie with stars in his eyes.
"Well, probably!" In fact, even Zhang Tie didn't know the price of this heavy machine crossbow too well, because this machine crossbow was completely the munitions that Zhang Tie got from the warehouse in the hall after he copied the Zhen family hall in Tianhan City a few days ago, and it was completely imported from the big 6 outside. In the Black Iron Castle, there are more than a dozen of the same heavy machine crossbows, and after coming to the gray hills, Zhang Tie now uses this thing to kill those iron-toothed hyenas with the highest efficiency, and the most trouble-free, so he took a big guy from the Black Iron Castle.
Something like that. In Huaiyuan County, Zhang Tie estimated that the price of the crossbow should be around 4oo gold coins, and the price in other places was relatively likely to be a little higher. And the price of a fairy dragon T9 sports car is more than 5oo gold coins, in this sense, the price of this machine crossbow is indeed very expensive.
In the following time, almost all the twelve-year-old young people in Kurgan Village lined up for a test shot, and even the girls joined in without showing weakness. One by one, I passed the addiction of a heavy machine crossbow.
Tonight's party was lively and happy, and Zhang Tie also casually played the role of a weapon instructor and operation instructor, teaching the young people of Kurgan Village to familiarize themselves with the operation and shooting essentials of this heavy machine crossbow. After all, this kind of thing is a bit like a large-caliber heavy weapon before the cataclysm, and not everyone has a chance to play it. And tonight, this thing became like a big toy at this bonfire, and it made a large crowd happy.
After playing with a group of peers for a night without any scheming, Zhang Tie himself felt very happy.
……
The bonfire did not disperse until almost twelve o'clock in the evening, and as the flames in the fire faded down, the young people who had spent the night together returned to their respective homes.
Zhang Tie was arranged by the village chief of Qige to live in the only public house in the entire village, that public house. That is, when a relative or guest of a family comes to Kurgan Village and the family cannot live in it, they can live in a public house, and the Guardian of the Wilderness of the Guardian God Sect who came to Kurgan Village last time also lives in a public house in Kurgan Village.
on this. Zhang Tie naturally has no opinion, because the cabin he is now using as a public house is actually better built than the cabin in most people's homes, and although the bedding and other things in the public house do not look new, they are all very clean, and there is a smell of sunshine when it smells, which are all prepared for him.
……
After the lights of every household in Kurgan Village were extinguished, Zhang Tie, who was sleeping on the bed, was about to enter the Black Iron Fort to taste the Seven Power Fruit harvested today, but his ears suddenly heard the faint footsteps outside the cabin, which suddenly made Zhang Tie stop thinking about entering the Black Iron Fort.
Who could it be at such a late hour?
"Knock knock......" After waiting for a while, someone finally knocked softly on his door.
When the voice rang for the second time, Zhang Tie rolled over and got out of bed, and then opened the wooden door of the cabin.
A ten-year-old young girl stood outside the door, wearing a big bear skin cloak, Zhang Tie seemed to be able to smell the fragrance of the flower dew on the girl's body after taking a bath.
This girl is a little familiar, it seems that she has met this evening, by the way, it seems to be Ivan's sister......
Before Zhang Tie could speak, the girl smiled, had already walked in, closed the door herself, and then took off the bearskin cloak on her body, let the cloak slide on the floor of the wooden house, and a crystal smooth body appeared in front of Zhang Tie......
