Chapter 404: A Crocodile in the River

After two sleepless days of piecing together and cracking, Shao Xuan drew the final result on a scroll of animal skins.

Although there are still some things on the tripod that have not been figured out, the things that have been pieced together have already made Shao Xuan know a lot.

The moire around the body is more like a guide.

The tripod made by the people of the box, no, not only the tripod, but also other utensils, most of them will carry such a moire, as Zhengluo said, such a moire, different from the decorative moire made by other craftsmen when casting bronze, these have inherent secrets, almost publicly displayed in front of the world, but few people know.

Such a moire, complex, but every successful box must master, this is like an anti-counterfeiting logo, the ancestors of the Taihe tribe, want to imitate but can not imitate. Not only that, after Shao Xuan cracked the moire, he felt that such a moire contained a bigger secret, maybe it was a secret about the box people, or perhaps, there were other more important things.

What are the box people good at?

It is said that some precision utensils are also what the box people are good at, and the round tripod they cast is almost perfectly round, as for why there will be a casting failure tripod, Shao Xuan does not know for the time being, but from the information obtained from other people, the box people are indeed not small.

And about the secret of the box man, does it also involve casting and forging?

In a piece of information cracked out by the cloud pattern, it is said that it is a place, the descendants of the box people, only if they have been there, they are the real box people, worthy of the surname of "Gongjia", otherwise, they are the losers of the box people.

Shao Xuan didn't know that this kind of moire pattern was set by the ancestors of the box people many years ago, but it was this moire that existed for at least a thousand years. It existed before the Flamehorns arrived!

Involves the technique of casting and forging...... This really made Shao Xuan very excited. If you can master it, not to mention completely learning the skills of the box people, it is enough to learn half of it, and the tribe's bronze can also take a big leap. In this regard, the Yanjiao people are indeed a lot behind, and this one is okay. The one on the other side of the sea probably hasn't been able to have its own metal weapon until now, but there is a nuclear seed over there, and if you go back one day, everyone can use the skill.

As for the moire on the three feet of the moire flat-footed tripod in the house, it represents three words - Gongjia Mountain!

The pattern left by the box people ultimately refers to Gongjia Mountain.

Listen to the name. Could it be the base camp of the Box people, or was it the ancestral land of the Box tribe before the box tribe dispersed?

In any case, Shao Xuan planned to follow the instructions of the picture and text, find it and take a look, if he could find a place, it would not be in vain to learn something from the box man Shao Xuan had been cracking for so long.

Shao Xuan went to discuss with Wu and the leader, and the leader Zhengluo wanted to send someone to follow, and he calculated it. There are only a handful of people who have the ability to follow Shao Xuan out, and it is not a drag to follow Shao Xuan out. If one person is arranged at random, it will only affect Shao Xuan's actions at that time, so the qualified ones are at least those at the level of Guangyi and Duokangna.

In the end, Shao Xuan decided that he would go out alone, and this time he went out to find a place, and he didn't know how long he would have to leave. On the tribe's side, there were still a few transactions with other tribes, which needed to be led by Duokang and Guangyi, and Zhengluo himself had to stay in the tribe to suppress the formation. Moreover, the place to go is not familiar to the tribesmen. Others can't show the way.

"Since I can find it here alone, I can go somewhere else, don't worry. Shao Xuan said to Wu and the leader.

However, Wu and the leader were still worried, and took out some forged weapons and various medicines.

Shao Xuan did not refuse the kindness of the two, and took a sword handed by Zheng Luo, and the medicine given by Wu was also loaded. Shao Xuan has taught Shao Xuan to recognize these drugs, and he also knows their usage by heart.

"It doesn't matter if you can't find Gongjia Mountain, the forging skill or something, it's not as important as your life. Wu told Shao Xuan to come back directly if he couldn't bear it, don't take any risks.

Zheng Luo also means the same thing, although the cloud patterns that Shao Xuan said are very likely to involve the ancestral land and forging skills of the box people, but he cares more about Shao Xuan, after all, Shao Xuan is the only one who has come here safely, or the elder recognized by the ancestors, if something happens, will the ancestors still bless them? Zhengluo also thinks that he can take the tribe back to the Yanjiao ancestral land in his lifetime.

"Well, I know. Shao Xuan nodded.

You know the! There is no way, if it is as stable as in the broad sense, they don't have to worry, but Shao Xuan is too young, and they really can't rest assured of the young people's heart.

The sick problem of Qianli Gold has been solved, just have Qiqi and others to take care of it, there is no need for Shao Xuan to worry, so, on a sunny day, Shao Xuan set off to find the secret of the boxer.

The first place he went to was the river where he dug the water sunstone, and after winter, when the snow melted, in addition to the melting snow, there was also an increase in rainfall, and the river rose.

There are a few crocodiles in the river, and the hunting party will go around this place every time they hunt.

Those crocodiles are very aggressive, they don't care who is on the riverbank, all humans, beasts, fierce beasts, etc., are their prey.

In terms of body size, the crocodiles here are generally larger than those seen by Shao Xuan in the Ya tribe, and they are also different in shape, these crocodiles have a longer snout than the crocodiles of the Ya tribe, the upper jaw is a little higher than the lower jaw, and there are more teeth. Most of the crocodiles of the Ao tribe have sixty or seventy teeth, and the most are only eighty or ninety, while the crocodiles here definitely have no less than a hundred teeth.

The thick nail-like teeth, as well as their distribution in the crocodile's mouth, show that these crocodiles are very good at grasping their prey, and their huge fanged mouths can easily clamp and drag prey on the shore into the water and tear them apart.

The strong bite ability and well-developed muscles make these seemingly bulky guys move extremely quickly.

The crocodiles of the Ao tribe, because they live with humans, are more or less infected with a little human touch, even if that bit of humanity is only for the people of the Ao tribe, but there are really them, but the crocodiles here want to kill everything, this is Shao Xuan's first feeling when he sees them.

The sun is just right, and many crocodiles are lying on the shore basking in the sun, some are still rolling in the mud, some are biting and fighting with each other, or maybe it is a gladiatorial fight, and from time to time there are some hissing and rumbling sounds.

When he was in the Yu tribe, Shao Xuan knew that these guys who seemed to only know how to bite and kill were actually very smart and cunning, with a small brain capacity, but their intelligence was far beyond people's imagination.

When Shao Xuan lived in the Yu tribe, he once saw a child from the Yu tribe taking meat to tease a crocodile in the pond next to his house. Shao Xuan remembered that the child was standing on the ground next to the pool, and instead of throwing the meat over immediately, he patted the crocodile's nose first, which was like an agreement between them, after patting, the crocodile would open its mouth, and when the child threw the meat into its mouth, it would close its mouth again.

The second time, the child took out another piece of meat from the basket, but the crocodile in the pool retreated a little into the pool, and the child wanted to pat its nose, but it couldn't, so he walked a few steps in the direction of the pool to complete the game of slapping his nose and feeding.

The third time, the crocodile retreated into the pool a little more, and the child continued to move forward, with both feet already in the water.

When the child was fed the meat, the next moment the crocodile swallowed the food, it bit towards the child with great speed, bit the child's clothes and dragged them into the water, and the child who was standing there with a basket just now was instantly dragged into the water.

Shao Xuan, who was standing not far away, was frightened into a cold sweat when he saw that scene, but the person next to him told him that it was the tribe's treasure fish playing with the children, teasing the children.

Sure enough, when Shao Xuan looked over again, the rolling crocodile was just biting the corner of the child's clothes, but it didn't really bite anyone, the child laughed and played with those crocodiles in the water, and the meat in the basket had all fallen into the water and was divided by the crocodiles in the pool. That's just the game.

However, the game of the beasts is closely related to hunting.

At that time, Shao Xuan knew that the crocodiles knew strategy and knew how to lure targets. On land, maybe those crocodiles will be slightly inferior, but in the water, even the people of the Ya tribe who have good water characteristics are not as good as crocodiles. If the child had been standing on the ground, he might have reacted faster, but he was led into the pool by the crocodile and his movement was restricted, so he was dragged in before he could even move.

In their eyes, it was just a game, but in the eyes of others, those crocodiles were extremely dangerous demons, and if the child was replaced by someone from another tribe, it would not be the corners of his clothes that would be bitten, but his arms, legs, or other parts of his body.

People outside the tribe regard those crocodiles as killing weapons.

Shao Xuan wouldn't tease those killing weapons, so he would stay away, not even close to the riverbank, he just followed the river to find his way.

According to the pattern of cracking and splicing, Shao Xuan followed the river, found the larger one, and then continued along the larger river. The larger river, which does not dry all year round, is just an inconspicuous tributary on the map that is easily ignored.

From the mouth of Quanbai and others, Shao Xuan knows that there are crocodiles in these rivers, and they have a long history of existence, before the ancestors of the Tai River looked for medicine, the crocodiles lived in the rivers deep in the forest, especially the thickest trunk river on the map, Quanbai said that in the records left by their ancestors, there are crocodiles, saying that there are extremely huge monsters and beasts, which cannot be defeated, and they are the first to flee for their lives.

The record said that it was huge, Shao Xuan didn't know how big it was, but it was definitely bigger than the crocodiles in these tributaries.

Most organisms stop growing after a certain stage of development, such as humans, while others do not, they belong to the category of infinite growth, such as many trees, or crocodiles that are active in rivers deep in the forest. (To be continued......)
