Chapter 405: The Common Language
The ghost daughter-in-law was so amused by me that she couldn't stop laughing, I walked over and cut off the flowers she wanted to pick with the starlight sword, and wiped some juice on the broken place with the tip of the sword, but I didn't see the metal discoloration, I still didn't feel at ease, and gently dipped it with my hand.
I can say that my current move is very risky, and the poison of the other world is likely to be fatal to me. But the ghost daughter-in-law likes it, and I'm willing to take the risk.
After a few seconds, there was no adverse reaction on my skin, and I picked up the flowers and handed them to her. She was very nervous when I did all this, but the moment she got the flowers, her face suddenly bloomed, and she said softly, "Thank you, this is the most expensive gift I have ever received." ”
Flowers will eventually wither, but true love will never be. I said, "What is beautiful should be matched by a beautiful woman." ”
Before I finished speaking, there was a rustling sound in the bushes next to me, I hurriedly protected the ghost daughter-in-law behind me, Li Erniu also quickly took off the giant axe on his back, and a fawn jumped out of the bushes after a while. They are all blue, slightly transparent, very beautiful, and only half the size of the earth, when they come out, they look around, their eyes freeze on us for a few seconds, it is estimated that they do not feel danger, they turn around and bark a few times. Dozens of them suddenly jumped out of the bushes.
Once gathered, they began to follow the vegetation line, neither fast nor slow, feeling very wary.
The ghost daughter-in-law said, "Are they being chased by something?" ”
"It's not like it, if they are chased, they will be very fast, and now they seem to be on the move." Animals migrate long and short distances, but their purpose is simple, either to reproduce or to find water and food.
We had been approached by lush vegetation and food, but I had never seen a single source of water, so I concluded that they were looking for water.
After hearing this, the ghost daughter-in-law stared at me incredulously and asked, "You are not an animal, how do you know so much?" ”
"Hey, hey!" I smirked twice: "It turns out that my wife also has something she doesn't know!" ”
The ghost daughter-in-law hammered me with her small fist and threatened, "Say it quickly." ”
I just told her that these are all things that have been talked about in textbooks before, natural selection, birds die for food, as long as there is life, they are inseparable from water and food. As long as there is a food chain, no matter what the world is, it is inseparable from the habits honed by the laws of nature.
The deer herd walked away, and we quietly swept the air and followed.
The fawns were very leisurely on the way, occasionally stopping to eat a few bites of grass, but the four walking on the periphery were very vigilant and looked around with their ears pricked up. I pointed to them and said to the ghost daughter-in-law, "That's the sentinels, they will immediately sound the alarm when they see danger, and if they encounter a strong natural enemy and cannot escape, the old, weak, sick and disabled among them will take the initiative to stay and act as bait." ”
The ghost daughter-in-law said in disbelief: "Aren't the old, weak, sick and disabled people just being eaten after running, will they take the initiative to stay?" ”
I nodded, if you don't look closely, it is true, but if you look closely, you will find that when you are chased, the old, weak, sick and disabled will take the initiative to protect the young.
Because only in this way will the community continue to grow and develop.
Not only people, but also all living beings in the world, it is difficult to live well, but in comparison, it is easy for people.
While talking and walking, about ten kilometers or so, a dark blue river appeared behind the grassy slope in front, in which there were countless unknown aquatic animals, because the whole body glowed blue, it was particularly conspicuous, and the whole river was very dreamy and beautiful.
When the fawns saw the river, they began to run wildly, and when they reached the river, they all bowed their heads and drank. Seeing this, the ghost daughter-in-law said, "It shouldn't be yellow spring water, otherwise they can't drink it directly." ”
I was a little disappointed, but I soon realized that the river seemed to be still, like a pool of stagnant water, and the fish in it were also circling in a certain range.
The deer quickly filled themselves with water and began to return in groups.
I asked Li Erniu and the ghost daughter-in-law to stop and walked to the river alone. The water surface was calm, only the ripples caused by the deer herd drinking water just now, and after more than ten seconds, the ripples slowly subsided. My shadow is clearly reflected in the water.
At first, I didn't feel anything, but soon I realized that the shadow was very clear, not at all like a reflection, but like a self who was standing on the other side of the mirror image and looking at me.
I frowned slightly, squatted down gently, reached into the river and stirred gently, and suddenly the startled fish swam around, extremely fast, standing on the shore and looking at it, it was like countless meteors suddenly crossing the blue starry sky.
The water is normal water, and I can't help but feel a little disappointed.
However, I still used my divine sense to contact the Starlight Beast and let it fly over the Divine City.
We walked no less than thousands of kilometers here, and did not find any rivers on the way, it is obvious that the previous method was wrong, after all, the sky is big, and if you go in one direction, you will not reach a point, but a vast area, and it is likely to be missed directly.
Unfortunately, there are no rivers marked on the map, only danger areas, I replayed the map in my mind and found that this river is very close to the location of the Nine Yellow Springs on the map.
When I went back, I told my ghost daughter-in-law that the reflection of the river was very strange, and she went over to try it herself. After a while, the Divine City came, and we stopped playing, and after going up, we asked the Starlight Beast to stop the city, and at the same time recalled the scouts sent out.
Xia Ji looked at the river in front of him, took out the map and spread it out, and said after reading it: "From the perspective of the range, this river is just within the range of the Huangquan River, and on the way we came, although it was not particularly comprehensive, it also covered a large area, could it be the Yellow Spring." ”
In terms of location, eight or nine are not far from ten, but the yellow spring water cannot be drunk, let alone touched. The ghost daughter-in-law told her about seeing the deer drinking water just now, and Xia Ji sighed disappointed when she heard it.
Seeing this, I said: "Don't be discouraged, our previous method was very blind, and sending people out to search will also increase the danger, now it is better to follow the river, water is the source of life, animals are very dependent, and the beasts in this land should belong to the higher creatures, will find water sources to live." ”
Xia Ji understood what I meant to ask the intelligent creatures here, and said worriedly: "We just want to avoid them now, if we go along the river, and don't we take the initiative to send them to the door?" ”
"You don't know that powerful intelligent beings tend to live in places where there are mountain springs, and the surrounding vegetation is abundant, and they are not used to migrate back and forth, after all, they are already intelligent beings. The weak snatch can't only choose to think of such a vast river! Because of the vast river, there will be a lot of fierce beasts, and the danger is relatively high! ”
We are not afraid of fierce beasts, as long as we do not have high intelligence, we are easy to deal with in ferocity.
As I finished speaking, the scouts who had gone out came back. When all of them returned, the city of God went along the river.
On the way, there was no dead silence, and on the way, you could see all kinds of animals drinking from the river, and the gods were scattered in all directions when they passed by.
When flying over a relatively dense jungle, there were many black shadows moving rapidly in the woods, and immediately countless blue arrows flew towards the Divine City. However, it was all bounced off the reticle.
Being able to use weapons is obviously a sapient being.
Sure enough, from the forest in a short time, hundreds of bull-headed people, people wearing animal skins, something in their hands was shaking rapidly, with a loud shout, all the hands suddenly stretched forward, and countless blue stones suddenly shot towards the divine city.
Throwing rope? I frowned slightly, I thought that in such a strange world, in a weak intelligent life, at least a higher life, I didn't expect it to be so primitive.
Seeing this, I told the city to stop, and ordered two scouts to go down and arrest one of the natives, preferably the leader, and at the same time told them not to kill them unless they were compelled to do so.
The minotaur looked excited after launching a wave of attacks, and let out a low roar from his mouth, constantly making some strange moves towards the god city.
Where the weak survive, there will naturally be no strong ones. After all, intelligent beings will take the initiative to avoid danger. The five scouts went down and were immediately besieged, but the attacks on them were either wooden spears or stones, and they were all blocked by Xuanli.
Two of the five were left behind to force the besieging crowd back, and the remaining three rushed straight into the woods. Only a few roars were heard from inside, and soon there was no movement, and soon the three of them flew out with a minotaur. After the convergence, they went straight to the Divine City.
The minotaur was still struggling on the way, but when he entered the Divine City, he suddenly quieted down, his eyes were mixed with fear and curiosity, he looked around, and suddenly knelt down towards us, babbling in his mouth, not knowing what to say.
We have been to several small worlds, but it is the first time we have encountered a world without a language, and we are helpless for a while, so I am afraid that it is impossible to ask them about the whereabouts of Huangquan.
When he was in trouble, Professor Zhang and a few old experts came over, and Professor Zhang said, "He is kneeling down and thinking that we are gods." ”
Xia Ji asked excitedly: "Old professor, can you understand what it says?" ”
Professor Zhang shook his head and walked over to help the minotaur up.
The minotaur was very panicked, a little overwhelmed, and kept making a fuss when he got up. Professor Zhang said: "The ancestors of human beings also used hieroglyphics in the first words, so shape description is the universal language of the whole universe, and we can interpret its meaning from its body movements, and at the same time, we can also use paintings to communicate." ”
Shang Lin is a college student, and when he heard this, he argued: "Professor, didn't you say that mathematics is the universal language of the whole universe? ”
Professor Zhang smiled and said: "Human mathematics is completely unable to communicate with the advanced life in the universe, and it is only limited to scientific and technological civilization, such as the Xiuzhen civilization and this very primitive life civilization, mathematics has become a useless thing." ”
When I heard this, I also thoroughly understood that mathematics can be used as a language of communication, but that must be based on the cognition of reciprocity, otherwise it is playing the piano to the cow.
Shang Lin wanted to ask something, but I interrupted him and said to Professor Zhang, "We want to ask them if they know where Huangquan is." A better user experience.
