Verse 15: Abnormal terrain

A few days later, in the early morning, birds chirped.

The weather was clear, and the sun shone through the gaps in the leaves, through the light mist that filled the forest, and sprinkled on the ground.

The boy and the girl stood side by side, looking at the cave, with some mixed emotions on their faces.

The boy had blonde hair, fair skin, a sturdy body, and was wearing chain mail, with a vigilant look and a strong spirit.

The maiden, on the other hand, wore a purple hooded robe, and her black curls spilled out of the hood, and she had wheat-colored skin, a delicate face, and a pair of purple eyes that attracted the attention of others, shining like jewels.

It's the two of Needle Gold and Zidi.

A few days ago, the two escaped here under the pursuit of the fire poison bee swarm.

After a life-long fight, the two were lucky enough to pick up a life.

They then healed and recuperated in the cave, which became a temporary camp for them to breathe.

However, although the cave is warm, it is not a home after all.

"Let's go. One last glance at the cave, Needlegold turned and strode into the woods.

Purple Til followed.

Unlike the previous situation when they escaped here, both of them carried large packages on their backs.

These packages contain a large number of animal bones, meat floss, and ore.

In addition to this, there are several spears and short spears.

The original sword of the needle gold has been lost by the campfire. The only dagger he had was broken by the brown bear's sharp head during the assassination of the monkey-tailed brown bear.

So, these days, Zidi and Needlegold have worked together to create some spears and short spears.

The spear is about 1.8 meters, and the short spear is about 1.5 meters. The spear is used for hand-holding, and the short spear is used for throwing. The spears were all made of wood from the vicinity of the cave, which resembled ironwood and was as hard as iron.

It is difficult to forge these spears by cutting and splitting with needle gold alone, and the corrosive agent of Zidi plays a huge role in this.

Compared to swords made of real steel, these spears were of little value. Neither the toughness nor the sharpness of the sword are inferior.

But there is no way.

Needlegold was now severely lacking in weapons, and there was only one intact dagger, which was placed in Zidi's hands.

Before leaving, Zidi wanted to give the small dagger to Needle Gold to use, but the latter refused. Zidi's little dagger is a bit special and is used to process materials. Purple Dill needs to use it when preparing potions.

At the same time, if you are in a deep crisis, Zidi can also pull it out to defend herself.

In the wilderness, even if Needlegold has a heart, it is impossible to protect her completely. Therefore, this requires Zidi to have a certain ability to protect itself.

At the same time, a short dagger does not help much with needle gold.

Speaking of which, the monkey-tailed brown bear's claws can actually be used as weapons. But strangely, when the brown bear is born, its claws quickly crumble and turn into a soot-like existence.

Not only is there a lack of weapons, but so is armor.

Wearing an apprentice's robe, Zidi only has a faint magical defensive power, and her defense is quite worrying in the face of the bite and collision of fierce beasts.

The pair of armours had been abandoned. In the fight with the monkey-tailed brown bear, they played the last defensive role. Without them, perhaps the forearm of the needle would have been smashed off.

In short, this pair of arm armor was extremely badly deformed, and one of them was almost completely cracked, and could only be forged in the furnace.

Needlegold also lacked a helmet, and the chain mail on his upper body was his only solace.

Needle gold takes the lead and explores the way ahead.

Purple Titz is the queen of the palace.

The two of them faded into the forest.

Their first goal is to recover the location of the campfire that has been attacked by a swarm of fire venom bees.

This is well thought out.

And the sword of the needle was thrown there. Although the long sword is not easy to use, it still has irreplaceable value.

What's more, only by returning to the campfire can Zidi take advantage of the situation to find the original path she led the guards to explore and search and rescue.

There were several makeshift camps along the same road, each with a small amount of supplies.

Because of the hard work of Needle Gold and Zidi, they had plenty of food at this time, but not much water.

During the journey after the awakening of the needle, they had no chance to obtain drinking water other than to search for a few water bags.

Although they crossed the river, the river contained a terrible python vine, and the risk of taking water was too high.

And around the cave, water is even more scarce.

There is not much water left in the water bag, which is also one of the main reasons for driving the teenager and girl out of the cave.

The trees stood upright, and Zidi found that the deeper she went into the forest, the taller and thicker the trees became, and some trees were even fifty or sixty meters high, reaching into the sky.

The sunlight does not shine down like a pillar here, and in the thick white fog deep in the forest, the sunlight becomes weak and spreads everywhere along the white mist.

The fog is also filled with the fresh smell of grass and trees, and flocks of birds fly over the canopy. Occasionally, woodpeckers can be seen, perched on tree trunks at least three meters above the ground. The sound of a bird's beak pecking at the wood makes the forest more and more quiet.

Soon after, the two went completely deep into the forest, surrounded by trees on all sides.

Needle Gold and Purple Di stopped and began to make marks.

Purple Peddy is on the trunk of a tree close to the ground, cutting marks with a dagger. Needle gold takes out a piece of animal skin, uses charcoal as a pen, and sketches the map.

This is to prevent you from getting lost.

It's easy to get lost in the forest, as the trees all look similar. Elves have a great talent for this, and it is said that no young elf will get lost in the forest. The forest is like home to the elves.

The consequences of getting lost are quite serious, and the wild is not friendly to humans, so often getting lost in the forest is the beginning of death.

Needlegold carefully tucked the hides and charcoal pens into his bosom.

This is his fourteenth drawing.

In the center of the hide, there is a small piece of black handwriting, which is very rough.

When Needle Jin started again, there was a slight hesitation on his face.

After walking for so long, according to common sense, he should have found the traces of how he once fled with Zidi in his arms.

But no.

The surroundings are full of nature, and there is not the slightest trace of it at all.

Needle Gold kept secretly recalling. At that time, he was running wildly at night with Zidi in his arms, although the situation was urgent, he didn't pay much attention. But it didn't take long for him to discover the cave.

Based on the time and speed, he didn't run far, and the campfire should have been nearby.

"Let's go this way. "The needle is still in the open direction.

He chose to go to the left.

His strategy is conservative and cautious, centering on the cave and searching for possible traces. The benefit of this is obvious, that is, there is no oversight.

By noon, the sun was noticeably warmer, and the light fog in the forest gradually dissipated.

The vision was much clearer, but the boy's face became more and more ugly.

He looked at the map in his hand, and every once in a while, he made notes in the forest, and now the marks on the map formed a large circle around the cave.

After such an intensive search, I still didn't find the slightest trace!

"There's something wrong with this place!" Zidi wondered, "this forest is too wide. ”

The place where they had traveled before was clearly a rainforest landscape, the air was humid and hot, and the low shrubs covered the woodland, and countless vines were densely intertwined.

And now this area is a forest landform.

Although they are all trees, these trees are very straight, vines are scarce, and shrubs and ferns are much less common than in rainforests.

Of course, needle gold also found this.

He originally thought that the forest was small in scope, because it was located near a cave, and the strange hot veins created a very different landscape from the surrounding ones.

But now the forest is too vast to exceed the estimates of the teenagers and girls.

According to the route, the landform on the island should be rainforest to be considered normal. At the same time, Needle Jin clearly remembered that in the middle of the escape that night, it was also surrounded by rainforest.

The beast that appears to be a black panther was swooped down from a branch that was clearly from the rainforest.

But soon after, Zidi discovers the cave and warns her.

"As soon as I found the cave, I immediately adjusted the direction of my run, and at that time, I should have gone from the rainforest into the forest. "Needle Gold is sure that his memory is not wrong.

Because he had also compared Zidi's memories with each other.

As I can remember, the forest is only a small part, surrounded by huge rainforest formations. But after a morning of exploration, the strange facts were placed in front of the two of them, and they were puzzled.

"It seems that this island is very strange! Not only are there endless beasts and strange species, but the plants are also very dangerous, and the landscape is very likely to change strangely. As she spoke, a dark shadow struck down from the towering canopy.

The black shadow was slender and extremely fast, piercing through the air and making a whooshing sound.

But the needle gold is even faster than it is.

In an instant, the spear stabbed!

The shadow's momentum came to an abrupt halt, its stubby neck pierced by the tip of the spear, hanging from the spear.

This is a peculiar bird.

It was about the size of an adult's fist and was covered in a layer of black feathers. The feathers are very hard, as if they were made of iron. The heavy feathers also made it lose the ability to fly. But at the same time, it also developed the bird's strong muscles.

This bird usually lurks in the trees, and when it sees an animal walking in the forest, it often jumps down and accelerates with its legs and wings, and skillfully uses gravity to peck through the animal's head at once.

When animals die, they suck on the brains, blood, then the eyes, and so on, and finally the flesh.

After several encounters, Purple named it the Iron Feather Bird.

The Iron Feather Bird has almost no flaws on its body, except for one place, which is the neck under the bird's head. The feathers here are very fine, and the defense is the weakest.

At this moment, the tip of the needle-gold spear accurately pierced the neck of the Iron Feather Bird.

It was a fatal blow.

Soon, the struggling Iron Feather Bird was motionless.

Needlegold aimed the spear at the ground, and with a forceful thrust, the corpse of the Iron Feather Bird was fixed.

Zidi stepped forward and took out the dagger for dissection. Iron feathers are very hard, which is the best material. In addition, some of the Iron Feather Bird's blood will also be collected by the girl.

As for the flesh and blood of the Iron Feather Bird, the portion was not large and the value was quite low, so it was abandoned by Zidi without hesitation.

While the maiden was collecting, Needlegold stood beside her with a short spear to guard against other beasts.

When he encountered this iron feather bird for the first time, the boy was a little scrambling.

He first swept the Iron Feather Bird to the ground with his spear, the Iron Feather Bird could not fly, but it was very fast on the ground, and Needle Gold threw three short spears one after another, which slowed down the Iron Feather Bird. Eventually, Needlegold used his spear to pierce the Ironfeather Bird through the belly - destroying the tip of the spear.

But now, the technique of gold injection is becoming more sophisticated.

He found the Ironfeather Bird to be most menacing when it came down from the trees, but at the same time it exposed its neck in the air, and it was also the weakest time for the Ironfeather Bird.

With this discovery, the Iron Feather Bird can no longer pose a threat, and each time it becomes a contribution.

In addition to the Iron Feather Bird, there are many dangers in the forest.

Fallen tree trunks and rotting leaves often hide highly venomous pit vipers.

Motionless plants must not let their guard down.

For example, some kind of inconspicuous moss poisons the skin by inadvertently touching it!

Green spots began to grow on the face of the needle, which were round and small, and they were not felt. After Zidi found out, she immediately gave the antidote to needle gold, which could only alleviate it, but not cure it.

The two had to search quickly to find the culprit. Zidi used moss to make a brief concoction and then added it to the antidote, which eradicated the toxins in the needle gold.

All kinds of hidden dangers greatly hinder the progress of teenagers and teenage girls in their exploration.

Looking up at the gradually dull sky, he had to make a reluctant decision: "Let's go back to the cave and rest." ”
