Chapter 278: The Observer Is Also Watched......

Where do you look at each other on the other side, you will always be separated from each other for a long time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Gap of Life and Death, a not too wide strait, is a moat that straddles the north and south of the earth, and although the legend that began to circulate at some point mentions the story of the gods tearing the earth apart, it is just a rumor that has never been confirmed. At least, in the memories of all the people who pray for the moon alive now, the strait has always been quietly there, and there is no sign that it has swallowed countless lives.

The tide rises and falls, and the reefs along the coast bear witness to the passage of thousands of years in this repeated process, and the stories that have long been drowned in the torrent of history seem as if they never happened.

"The golden vine, although the texture is indeed very strong, but it is undeniable that its density is also very large......" Xinglan sat on a rocky high ground on the shore, playing with a small section of the golden vine in her hand, through the pressure sensor, she could also feel the heavy texture of the golden vine, even if it was not as dense as metal, but it was not much different from a solid stone, "Although using it to tie the bamboo raft greatly strengthens the solidity, it also reduces the load capacity." ”

It's a pros and cons to this choice, but it's also normal, because there is never a perfect choice for things in the world. Even if it was decided to use the golden vine as the material for binding the bamboo raft, it was difficult to anticipate a series of problems in advance, for example, although the golden vine seemed to be very flexible when it was wrapped around the perimeter of the iron tree, when Xinglan carefully used the flame to burn a small section of the vine, he found that this kind of vine was not as easy to weave as it was to the touch, in fact...... Quite difficult to process.

She gently bent the golden vine in her hand, the seemingly simple and insipid movement actually took great strength, it gave people the feeling of being as stubborn as a piece of equipment specially designed to exercise arm strength, and only after maintaining it for a long time could the shape of the golden vine be fixed in the bent form. Of course, this is not entirely a bad thing, and the possibility of the raft falling apart is further reduced, knowing that this is not a simple river rafting, but a real sea crossing.

There won't be too many tools to use in the primeval forest, most of the process is still done by hand, and fortunately, the strength of the Moon Prayer is much greater than it seems on the surface, and there will be no such weak girls in this era. After Xing Lan gave a demonstration, Mu Xue took the initiative to take over the rest of the work, and was even reluctant to let Xing Lan continue to do manual work...... Although her words said that this should have been her own business, and it was already embarrassing to let Xinglan help, Xinglan still felt her hidden worry: the so-called demons generally have great defects in their physique, and once they do physical work, they are prone to various diseases in their internal organs, and this child is still not very relieved that she will help.

This rocky plateau was neither too far nor too close to the shoreline, and when Xinglan sat on its edge and stared into the distance, she could clearly see the waves surging on the horizon of the distant sky, and the rocky shore in front of her was even more unobstructed, and naturally she could also see the bamboo raft on the beach that could already be clearly seen. The use of the golden vine to tie the arc bamboo did not require much change in the natural shape of the arc bamboo, because the curved growth of the arc bamboo did not make the weaving process as straight as the bamboo on earth, they had to overlap the arc bamboo symmetrically.

Xinglan naturally doesn't care, not to mention that the artificial skin on the surface of her palm is not so easy to wear, even if it is really worn by the rough golden vine and arc bamboo, it doesn't have much impact on her, but Mu Xue is not so easy, she who takes the initiative to take on almost all the physical work, and her palm has often been bloody by those sharp wooden thorns in the past few days...... Don't underestimate this is just a small injury, once bleeding in the primeval forest of this era can easily cause wound infection and even ulceration, even if you use some herbs that can heal the wound, it may not be foolproof. Of course, Xing Lan had already made a decision, if this kind of thing really happened, she must cure Mu Xue.

The one-week shipbuilding deadline is approaching.

Mu Xue was on the shore not far from the bamboo raft, and from Xinglan's place, it was easy to see that she was sitting next to a reef and looking up into the distance, and the waves in the distance could even beat her knees, which meant that her feet were completely immersed in the sea.

The frame of the bamboo raft has been basically completed, and although it is impossible to see it clearly by relying solely on the visual system of the mechanical body, Xinglan can still use the optical sensor composed of signal codes to see the scars of different shades on the opponent's arm...... Even though the muscle strength is far exceeded, the Moon Prayer people do not have much healing ability beyond the human beings on Earth, and their injuries also have to be repaired for a long time, and even leave scars.

This is a child who likes to be strong, but it is a bit distressing.

Although it does not have the hormone secretion system that is used to regulate emotions like ordinary creatures, the extremely complex quantum structure of the signalon network still allows Xinglan to have a wealth of emotions, even if she adjusts the speed of her mind reflexes to the fastest...... That is, it is faster than most computers, and it is not completely overwhelmed by reason as many people imagine robots, and emotions themselves are a complex reason.

Although there were many wounds on her body, Mu Xue's slightly swaying legs at this time revealed her mood, even if her back was to Xinglan, Xinglan could still see a smile on her face. She was smiling and looking at the northern ocean, this was a smile that was truly completely relaxed, and Mu Xue hadn't smiled like this for a long time, she didn't even have nostalgia for the fact that it took her many years to collect such a complete plant sample bank, and her heart had already flown to the Northern Yuan Continent.

"Rain Foam ......" Xinglan sighed softly, remembering the lively girl she met for the first time by the lake, everything was as clear as if it happened yesterday, and the silver shuttle was still quietly docked in place...... The equipment inside is still functioning normally for decades, but the silver-white surface has long been covered with vines, and there are even some small animals nesting nearby, "Indeed, it has been a long time since you all. ”

Xinglan didn't plan to evacuate the shuttle for the time being, the energy system inside was enough to maintain its standby state for about two hundred years, and the occasional passing by a few moon prayers could not affect it, and over time, people became accustomed to the existence of such a strange thing, and even stopped being surprised by it.

The raft is almost finished, and although there is no structure such as a sail yet, it is not a time-consuming task to make a simple sail using wide blades...... Considering that Bacheng would have to control it by herself at that time, Xinglan felt that it would be better for her to do this sail herself, well, just in case.

She looked up at the sky, it was a clear and cloudless sky, and even the strait that claimed to be the line between life and death showed a calm and peaceful appearance, which was a rare good weather, and it was expected to continue for the next few days.

Xinglan secretly made up her mind that if everything went well tomorrow, they would set off as soon as possible after getting the approval of the elders in the tribe, otherwise they would be in trouble if they encountered a storm on the ocean.

"Hoo ......"

Exhaling softly, looking at the ocean in front of her, she felt as if she had gone back many years ago, walking along the coastline on that barren land with no life, and the coast of those days could not even see the reef that had been rounded by the waves, and the only thing that remained unchanged was the endless sky overhead.

Suddenly, Xinglan was slightly stunned, and then turned her head to look at the forest behind her. The old trees were connected one by one into a green that stretched to the sky, but there was no unusual movement in the process, only the gentle breeze swaying through the branches and leaves brought up by the treetops.

After staring at the woods in silence for a long time, Xinglan looked back again, as if she hadn't found anything, and everything here returned to its original calm...... Probably.

……

A few minutes later, a palm covered with orange-red fluff crept through the gap in the forest leaves, and it clenched a few nearby branches, without any white yellow pupils staring at the beach ahead through the leaves, and it didn't even notice that the sharp horn on its forehead was pressed against a branch, it hesitated, and finally did not move on.

As silent as when it came, Lonely Cloud quietly left the area, even though it was unable to communicate normally due to congenital mental retardation, but it was clear that Xinglan and Mu Xue's stay on the coast these days had given it a premonition...... It is not unheard of to see the former seafarers leave.

If they take the initiative to walk out of this forest at this time, neither Mu Xue nor Xinglan will drive it away, they can say goodbye to each other for the last time before leaving, no matter what the final outcome is, at least the reunion will never be forgotten. However, Lonely Cloud did not choose to say goodbye, it just stared at it for a long time before leaving the place again...... It's like being unbearable to face a sad parting scene, which can't help but make people wonder: does it really understand nothing?

"Is that really good? Probably never again. ”

After Lonely Cloud left, a fairy bird with a very gorgeous feather color suddenly spoke, it had been standing silently on a branch just now, so low-key that it did not attract Lonely Cloud's attention at all, and at this time, it seemed to be talking to itself to the empty air.

"Now that the decision has been made, maybe it's okay......"

In the silence of the forest, shadowless and invisible signalmen wander in space, responding to the words of the passing wind: "Wait until tomorrow, everything will be settled, and a new journey will soon begin." ”

But is it really going to be that smooth? Who knows?
