Gong Jiaheng lives in a mountain not too far from the river bank, and he can see the mountain from the river bank, after all, there are not many mountains around here.

Shao Xuan also asked a few questions tentatively along the way, and Gong Jiaheng also answered, unless it was about the secret matter of the box man, other things, Gong Jiaheng didn't care, what he said the most was the utensils he had forged, there were large ceremonial weapons such as Ding, as well as weapons such as swords and spears, with strong confidence and arrogance between his words.

In the eyes of the box people, in terms of casting and forging, they call it second, no one dares to call it first, and those who can surpass themselves must be people from their own tribe.

When Gong Jiaheng boasted, he didn't let his guard down, although his verbal expression looked relaxed and casual, but with the slightest movement, he could react immediately.

A multi-legged monster worm suddenly jumped out of the grass, this strange worm was a cut taller than Shao Xuan and the others even if it was lying on the ground, the two tentacles on the top of its head like antennas swayed, and the two pincer-like big chelica teeth bit towards Shao Xuan and Gong Jiaheng, and the semi-rotten huge trunk across the grass next to it failed to slow down the speed of this strange insect a little.

Shao Xuan didn't move, Gong Jiaheng next to him was still showing off the famous weapon he had built to Shao Xuan with a smile on his face, and the next moment he jumped high, the sledgehammer in his hand moved like the wind, and the strong power was transmitted from the arm to the copper hammer, setting off a terrifying breath, and smashed it on the head of the giant insect that rushed over.

On the head of the giant insect that clamped its chelicera, a pit nearly half a meter deep suddenly appeared, and the shell covering the head cracked, and brown-green liquid splashed out of the crack.

Such a powerful blow did not kill the giant insect, but before the giant insect could react more, the whirring hammer shadow flashed, like a hurricane coming one after another, with a sense of thunder.

Bang bang bang!

The cracked shell was bombarded by a stormy hammer shadow, carrying the brownish-green brain fluid of the strange insect. Like fireworks exploding. But in the blink of an eye, the multi-legged monster insect that had rushed over with great momentum just now was lying there motionless, and its head had turned into a puddle of debris.

After the copper hammer left the insect body, it continued to dance in Gongjiaheng's hand. Thousands of pounds of copper hammer, if the weight is light, with a sense of randomness under the movement.

Some people seem to be domineering and strong, but they are actually too empty inside, but Gong Jiaheng, the box man, has bulging muscles with totem cloud patterns that are really full of power.

He is worthy of being a forger and blacksmith.

Gong Jiaheng shook off the brain fluid and broken shells of the strange insects on the copper hammer, and then continued to walk with Shao Xuan to his residence.

"Oh, yes. Speaking of a slave owner surnamed Chao, he asked me to give him a sword......"

With a smile on his face again, Gong Jiaheng continued what he hadn't finished just now, as if the matter of beating a strange insect into slag just now was just an ordinary trivial matter.

Shao Xuan easily dragged the ten-meter-long crocodile to Gongjiaheng's residence, where there was a cave at the foot of the mountain, where some goods were stored, food, and all kinds of other scattered tools, such as stone tools, horn bone tools, and metal tools.

However, Gong Jiaheng does not live in it. Instead, a stone house was built outside the cave, and the sleeping room inside was not large. Nearly two-thirds of the space is used for casting and forging.

Along the way, Shao Xuan found that there were many traps set up around Gongjia's permanent residence to guard against the fierce beasts in the mountains and forests, and if they couldn't prevent it, it could also play an early warning role.

"That's where I live. Gong Jiaheng pointed to the cave and the stone house and said.

Shao Xuan put down the crocodile. Under the leadership of Gong Jiaheng, he took a look. Maybe it's because few people come over, and it's rare to meet people, Gong Jiaheng is very enthusiastic, and looks at the inventory in the cave, which he usually eats well. But when entertaining guests, it's a bit out of reach, Gong Jiaheng is still very face-loving, he bragged so much just now, and now he feels that the conditions here are too shabby, and he can only entertain him on food. So, he planned to slaughter the crocodile he hunted today.

When Gongjia Heng slaughtered the crocodile, Shao Xuan looked at the cave where Gongjia kept things forever. For the things in the cave, Gong Jiaheng did not hide it, and Shao Xuan saw it, but the stone house inside was not open to the public, it was the place where he cast and forge, and some things could not be shown to outsiders. Shao Xuan didn't care.

The cave was darker and deeper than expected, so Shao Xuan lit a torch and walked in. Looking at the cave, there are all kinds of tools, plants and fruits stacked in the cave, judging from the various items thrown in the cave, Gongjiaheng has indeed lived here for a long time, which is about the same as the twenty years he said.

After looking around, Shao Xuan walked out of the cave.

"When I was only twenty years old, I cracked the meaning of the box pattern and came out to look for Gongjia Mountain. Gong Jiaheng said as he dealt with the crocodile. The "box pattern" in his words refers to the complex cloud patterns unique to the box people on the Ding that Shao Xuan has seen.

"It's a pity that I've been looking for 20 years, but I still can't find a place, so I just live here, and every year I go out to look for a circle, and if I can't find it, I will return here temporarily, and then look for it after repairing. Gong Jiaheng talked about the hard experience of so many years, and at the same time, he also wanted to give Shao Xuan, a young man, a piece of advice, don't do things that are beyond your ability, otherwise you will regret it.

After searching for twenty years, he still hasn't found it, so it's no wonder that Gongjiaheng didn't say anything sarcastic when he mentioned other people who went to find Gongjia Mountain, because he himself was the same, but fortunately, he was still alive and didn't give up.

"At first, I wasn't used to it, and many of the tools I used to use were gold, and the food was much more elaborate, but after I came here, I had to try to adapt to the way here. Over the years, Gong Jiaheng has learned a lot of jungle life skills from some tribes living in the mountains and forests, and instead of special ropes and copper shackles, he uses vines instead to distinguish which vines are suitable for which type of hunting activity, and learn how to rub grass ropes. After many years of going out to look for Gongjia Mountain, a lot of the gold tools he brought back then had been consumed, and when he was short of materials, he went to help some tribes in the mountains and forests forge weapons for low remuneration, in exchange for some materials, or let those people bring some when they traveled far to trade.

Unlike the tribesmen who were born and raised in the mountains and forests, Gong Jiaheng lived in a city ruled by slave owners for the first twenty years of his life. However, after coming here, he can't continue to be in that state, Gong Jiaheng's strategy is to be kind to the people of the mountain forest tribe, and he needs someone to cooperate in order to ask for help.

There is a box with the identity of a box man and superb casting and forging skills, except for some tribes that are extremely exclusive and isolated from the world, several tribes that Gong Jiaheng met were polite to him, which is why when he saw Shao Xuan, Gongjia Heng had a calm attitude.

As long as it is not malicious, Gongjiaheng can treat it with a friendly attitude.

"Is that cage specifically for catching crocodiles?" asked Shao Xuan.

"Well, there's a lot of fish here. Gong Jiaheng nodded heavily. Now in such a more primitive environment, in order to save materials, he can only learn to use other materials other than gold, but as a box man, he still prefers to make metal objects, he has also made other objects before, and then for some reasons, he abandoned other gold objects and made that cage, which was ridiculed by many people as stupid and wasteful! But he did not regret it.

"In that river, there's a giant fish, oh, the crocodile you mentioned, but it's so big that I've almost been eaten by it when I've crossed the river several times, and I don't know how much of my weapon was lost in that river. Speaking of this, Gong Jia Heng became angry, looked in the direction of the river, and his eyes were hateful.

It seems that there is a feud.

Speaking of crocodiles, he has been here for 20 years, even if he has never seen a crocodile in the first 20 years, the years of living in the mountains and forests are enough for Gong Jiaheng to know a lot about those crocodiles.

"The water in the big rivers is so deep that when they're in the water, they often only show their eyes and nostrils. Gong Jiaheng said this to Shao Xuan, so that Shao Xuan could better understand the crocodiles here.

"Their powerful tails propel them to swim quickly underwater, while also reducing water waves and sneaking closer to their prey. It doesn't matter if they lose a leg when they duel and bite each other, because they are born to be strong in survival, and many of them are missing a leg, which is a sign of their battle, so if Shao Xuan encounters the kind of fish that is missing a leg, don't despise it, otherwise it will make you regret it. ”

Gong Jiaheng said: "However, the shallow water you passed through when you came, it is inconvenient for those who lack legs, shallow water and land, they use more legs, and sometimes in some shallow water places, they can also step on underwater stones and jump up." ”

"Yes, I've experienced this. Shao Xuan compared the crocodiles here with those crocodiles of the Yu tribe, and the crocodiles here have stronger and more powerful hind legs. There are also teeth, if the teeth of those crocodiles of the tribe are conical blunt objects, the teeth of these crocodiles are sharp steel nails.

In many ways, the crocodiles here are even more dangerous.

"Yo, I can't tell that this fish is over 100 years old and can be used as an outer armor. Gongjiaheng picked up a piece of scales and handed it to Shao Xuan, "When the time comes, you can use its bone plate as armor, this kind of fish, after a hundred years old, the bone plate is very good for armor." ”

"How do you know it's over a hundred years old?" asked Shao Xuan.

"Look at the one above. Gong Jiaheng pointed to the scales, "Look at those patterns." ”

On the scales that Gong Jiaheng handed to Shao Xuan, there were some patterns, which were like the annual rings of a tree, and the age of the crocodile could be seen.

As for the bone plate mentioned by Gong Jiaheng, it is also another difference between the crocodile here and the crocodile of the Yu tribe, the back of the crocodile here, there are more than 100 bone plates under the skin, which belong to the intradermal bone, such as a solid armor covering the crocodile's back, Shao Xuan's sword can cut the mouth of the jumping crocodile, but it may not be able to cut their back, the young crocodile may be able to cut, but after a hundred years old, it will be difficult.
