Coming to the Northern Yuan savanna again, looking back on the past like smoke.

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

The blue ocean has always maintained its unique appearance, not for any one living being, and it will not change in any way, whether you gaze at it or not. When Mu Xue's crescent-shaped silver-white pupils reflected the horizon that seemed infinitely far away, she realized that the special feeling that the unpredictable dangers of the sea bring to the traveler crossing the sea depends largely on whether it is in front of you or behind you.

Still sitting on the reef on the shore, watching those snow-white waves come in waves from the distant horizon, the only difference is that behind her is no longer a forest, but a plain.

At this moment, the land behind her is called the Northern Yuan Continent.

She might have imagined this moment a few weeks ago, but she never imagined that it would all come so quickly. Far from the hometown of his birth, across the sea of wind and waves, until he trampled on another land that he had only heard of in rumors, and turned to look in the direction he came.

However, even if the eyesight of the Moon Prayer Man was very good, it was impossible for her to directly see the distant Nanyuan Continent through the Life and Death Gorge, so it was naturally impossible for her to see that distant starting point again, at most she could only see the wooden boat on the reef in front of her that was completely broken.

"Sure enough, it was scrapped in the end......" Xinglan was standing next to the wooden boat at this time, and after looking down and inspecting it, she had to declare that her efforts had failed, even if it did not become full of debris like the wooden boat they saw on the southern coast, there were several large cracks, obviously scrapped, "It's all disposable." ”

If it's the kind of beach on the edge of the ship, it may not be too much of a problem, but once you encounter a slightly reefy coastline, this wooden boat made of striated leaves trees really can't withstand collisions, and it is easy to hit a large crack at the bottom and leak.

But in fact, there is not much difference, anyway, the wooden boat must be abandoned here, they can't carry such a heavy burden on the road, and because of the distance traveled by the time wasted on the perched ship beast, it is far from the original correct goal.

By looking at the direction of the sun before, it can be seen that the Shipmon drifted from east to west along the Gorge of Life and Death, so the place they arrived at now must be more westward than the destination they originally intended.

The endless sea is separated by a reef and the same endless savannah, with sparse and sparse foliage forests scattered across the grassland, and there is no dense forest to be seen in the east.

This is a savannah composed of the main plant, which is composed of thread-leaved grass, this slender grass is widely distributed in most places on the planet, and it seems to have no other characteristics other than extremely tenacious vitality, but its role cannot be ignored...... By rough calculation, this ordinary species provides about 5% of Lanxing's biological food source, far more than any other species. If the grass were to become extinct, it would be a catastrophe.

Xinglan has been to this grassland...... Or at least I had passed through the prairie from a different direction, and it hadn't been long since then. Although it cannot be said that new species will not be discovered, the ecosystems that have been seen before will not change much.

"It's certainly not a northern settlement." The physical fitness of the people of Qiyue is indeed very good, especially in this wild era, although he had a low fever for a while because of a cold before, but now Mu Xue has basically recovered his spirits, and he has recovered without even using any medicine, "Although the woods in the north are not as dense as in the south, the trees near the settlement will not be scarce to this point. ”

"You put on the clothes first." Xinglan rejected Mu Xue's intention to return the coat to her, and looked at the movement on the grassland in the distance, from which some beasts could be seen walking back and forth in the distance, and of course, some ancient monsters that had never been seen before, "We have to go east along the coastline." ”

She stared at the ancient monsters that could be clearly seen even here, pursed her lips slightly, and jumped straight from the reef to the land.

It is not only the grass of the Thread-Leaved Grass that the savannah, and rightly so, as evidenced by the sparse but scattered trees. Most of them were striated trees with bright stripes on their lower leaves, but some of them were rarer species such as the Vulcan Tree, and the ancient monsters of the grassland she saw could not be described as trees directly.

Please forgive Xinglan for thinking for a while and not being able to come up with a metaphor to describe those objects, because they are completely bloated and irregular, huge structures that are difficult to describe like potatoes, held up in the air by countless intertwined slender strips, and beside them are many slender strips that droop like vines and constantly sway and collide with each other in the wind. Given the distance between them, a rough estimate of the height of these objects ranges from a few meters to tens of meters, which is quite like a tree in terms of its size.

"Those are...... What is it? Following Xinglan's line of sight, Mu Xue also looked at what she was staring at, the eyesight of the Moon Prayer People was very keen, so the strange things that caught her eye also surprised her, "I've never heard of them, are they plants from the north?" ”

"I don't know, but they haven't seen any individuals move so far." Xinglan shook her head, she didn't know what this unknown thing was, and she couldn't find anything special from such a distance just by visual inspection, "We still have to go deeper, do we want to go over and have a look?" Anyway, sooner or later. ”

While the best thing to do is to keep walking east along the coastline in terms of direction recognition and distance, the reality is clearly not that simple. The physical strength of the Moon Prayer People is far stronger than that of the Earthlings, but correspondingly, they need to consume a lot of food, and the food they carry is all exhausted at this time. The most critical issue is that the issue of fresh water for survival is more important than the problem of food, and it is difficult to find fresh water in coastal areas.

No matter how confident she is in herself, Mu Xue will not feel that she can walk for several days in a row to reach her goal without eating or drinking.

"The water source is not too much of a problem, just try to hunt the animals of this grassland." Mu Xue pursed her lips, which were extremely dry by the sea breeze, and her hand had subconsciously touched the dagger on her waist. Animal flesh and blood also contain a lot of water, and drinking animal blood doesn't make her any psychological burden at all.

Well, the premise is that this creature is not the kind of curious thing to look at, and it's almost impossible to write directly about the animals that I have poisonous.

"Before you continue to your destination, find a way to replenish your strength and rest." Xinglan glanced at her with some concern, even if she was very determined, she still found that Mu Xue's arm was a little weak, after all, she had been adrift on the ocean for so long and had almost no rest and food, it was very good to be able to hold on until now.

"Let's go there." The crescent-shaped silver eyes almost completely shrank into an arc under the intense sunlight, and Mu Xue suddenly pointed firmly to the location of the nearest ancient monster body, "There seems to be a herd of beasts nearby, so the probability of finding food and water sources will be a little greater." ”

This is true, there are indeed a lot of black dots moving near the irregular object supported in mid-air by countless strips, which is obviously the fauna of the grassland. Xinglan nodded, affirming her opinion, but when she took a few steps forward, she was surprised to find that Mu Xue did not follow immediately, and when she turned around, she saw Mu Xue turn around and look at the ocean again, staring a little distractedly.

"Say, how is he now......

"Huh?" Xinglan was slightly stunned, but when Mu Xue took the purple flute from her waist and put it in her hand, she immediately understood what Mu Xue was referring to, and narrowed her eyes slightly...... The signals that stayed in place witnessed the last moments of the Xin Yu man, and naturally confirmed the complete disappearance of vital signs after he was powerless to fall to the ground, maybe his body would be completely reduced to food for marine creatures after the sinking of the perching ship beast, but she still didn't tell the truth directly, but touched Mu Xue's head comfortingly, "Maybe, he will be saved?" ”

…… Even porous tubeworms wouldn't believe that.

It's a wish, but it's just a wish. Mu Xue naturally does not fail to understand the truth here, just like a certain philosopher once said, "We always laugh at the innocence of fairy tales, but refuse to accept the cruelty of reality." She didn't disbelieve it, but forced herself to believe it, facing the sea and gently playing the wooden flute like the Xinyu man.

There is no melodious music, but some weird-sounding chaotic tones. In fact, this is a matter of course, even if it is a simple instrument, it is impossible to play a beautiful piece directly, but Mu Xue's expression has no dissatisfaction, only concentration and seriousness.

It's like praying to the moon god without any distractions.

Xinglan didn't stop Mu Xue, she just stood by in silence and listened, the long time and completely different life forms gave her a different perspective, but this did not make her ignore the respect for life itself, the depth of this feeling no one can ignore.

A stratosaur flew all the way from the distant ocean, letting out a loud chirp as it passed over, ending the somewhat clumsy performance. Mu Xue put the wooden flute back on her waist and fixed it...... Before this, only the high-carbon steel dagger could occupy this position for many years, and she turned her head to watch the layer pterosaur flapping its wings and flying higher and higher, and finally turned into a black dot and completely disappeared at the end of the field of vision, and gently showed a smile: "Let's go on the road." ”

After all, what is gone is a thing of the past, and the living will continue to move forward, and in this vast land, a new journey is about to begin.
