After casting the mountain sword, Hadu and his guards walked towards the sharp corners that stretched out of the cliff. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The sharp horn looked so close that it actually took them two full rises and falls to get there.

When they really reached the sharp corner, Hadu and his guards were dumbfounded: the visual width of the two sides of the strait was about 160,000 steps, and the shortest distance was about 110,000 steps, which was not something that people could pass at all - not to mention that Hadu also brought out this time.

From their position, it can be seen that inside the strait is a blue ocean, and there is a larger ocean outside the strait, which is a million steps away. Hadu stared at the scene in amazement, unable to retract his gaze for a long time: the magnificence of the ocean was truly spectacular.

It was a moment before Hado returned to thinking about a plan to cross the channel. Judging from the direction of the current, the sea water of the ocean outside is constantly pouring into the blue sea, which may be caused by the low terrain of the blue sea (the same way as the density flow explanation); due to the barrier of the high mountain front, it is relatively humid and hot here but there is no rain, and the evaporation of the blue sea must be very large, so the salt content of the sea water is very high, and if you fall into it, you will definitely be killed; here you can always feel the wind crossing the strait horizontally, but there is no other wind direction, I think the strait is long enough to guide such a wind direction.

Walking on the beach of the strait, Hadu wordlessly looked at the land on the other side. In this era, not to mention rafts, even canoes have not yet been invented, and the steppe tribes have never seen this battle, they usually cross the river either by wading through the water or by building a tree trunk, and when there is no need to use the boat, they will be at a loss when they encounter the need to cross the sea. Fortunately, the well-informed Hado came up with a bold and amazing idea: burn a large furnace of molten iron, shape it into a large discus with a radius of 10 steps, let everyone stand on it, and then use the magnetic force to control it and fly over the opposite bank. ！

As soon as this idea came out, Hadu became even more speechless: I already had this idea, why did he walk stupidly for so long, it was done directly on the magnetite side, and let everyone fly over directly. But it has come to this point, and it is useless to regret it, and the group can only turn back to the cliff where the magnetite is located. It took two more ups and downs, and this time Hado didn't smelt after digging like he did last time, but first controlled the iron axe to draw a large circle on the beach around the boundary of 10 paces, and then scooped out the sand in the circle and dug the same volume of magnetite according to the total volume of sand. This method makes the ore roughly the same volume as the sand pile, so that the discus that can be molded into the discus after smelting is almost as good as it needs (although it always feels like something is wrong).

Since the amount of ore this time was larger than the last time, Hado simply dug a large cave directly on the nearby hillside to use it for firing the kiln, and then cut down trees, made charcoal, scavenged stalactites and stalagmites, smelted ore, and then controlled the molten iron to shape a large round cake with a smooth outer edge on top of Hado's head. Looking up at the huge discus, Hado suddenly felt some palpitations: fortunately, he had made it himself, and if his enemies, his opponents, or other hostile tribes had made such a thing, it would be a big problem.

However, he also found that the magnetic control area above his head also had to be within 10 steps, about one and a half people high, otherwise the molten iron outside this area would fall uncontrollably. In this way, Hadu had to control the molten iron to stay in a small area at the top for the time being, and then gradually move down and then spread outward, but the size of the discus was obviously not enough for 10 steps, so he had to crouch down and let the discus continue to fall, then kneel, sit down, and finally lie on the ground - watching the discus levitate 1 palm-width above the tip of his nose, even if it was still under his control, he was a little frightened.

After waiting for about 1 and a half sunrises, and letting the big discus completely cool down, Hado controlled the discus to fall to the ground, let everyone stand up, tried to fly close to the ground for a short while, and found that it was quite smooth - the discus was relatively smooth, it was not easy to balance when standing, and everyone sat on the ground, and the horses also knelt on the discus, as long as the flight speed was not too fast, the people and horses were quite comfortable. Flying in such a discus is extremely labor-saving, and Hadu and they are protected by thick armor, so they will not be blown cold by the wind. However, before crossing the sea, everyone still needs to have a full meal, and Hado controls the big discus to fly in the direction of the forest.

After a short flight into the forest, the sharp "pie edge" smoothly cut through the trees, easily slicing the trees on both sides of the flight path in half - as for the trees in front of him, Hadu needed to constantly fly to both sides. At this moment, he heard a hostile roar not far away—it was a fangfang. Hadu, who had gained the ability and experience of shielding the tiger, recognized the tiger hiding in the pile of dead leaves at a glance, saying that this guy was really hiding somewhere, if it weren't for Hadu's strong predatory ability, he might not be able to see the tiger even if he stood next to the tiger.

With the big discus, Hadu didn't bother to kill the tiger by himself, but just controlled the big discus and flew straight towards the tiger, so frightened that the tiger screamed and hurriedly wanted to hide. Hadu didn't give the other party any chance to dodge, and accelerated to the next and lifted the front of the big discus slightly to stabilize the "passenger" above from falling, and then slapped directly at the tiger. Such a large discus covered the sky and the sun, and the tiger had never encountered such an enemy, and they were all stupidly frightened in place, and they were slapped into meat by the discus.

Hado flew the discus again, then looked at the blurred pool of flesh underneath and felt a pang of embarrassment—a meal had been ruined. The guards around him were all holding their breath and laughing, and he laughed and scolded him for a while, and the people around him also snorted and shook their heads, as if they were making fun of him, and Hadu could only look up to the sky and sigh. Letting the centaur get off the discus, he flipped over, then rose to the top of his head (only a small part of it was in the control range to control the whole piece of metal), then controlled it to spin rapidly, shook off the flesh on that side, and finally let it fly to a nearby creek to wash it again, and it was "as good as new" - only in the process scaring all the animals in the vicinity away.

After performing some "flying blades", Hado and the others happily finished their lunch - the cute barbecue rabbit - and prepared to cross the sea. On the way to the Strait in the discus, Hado began to ponder the advantages and disadvantages of magnetic control.

The advantage is obvious, the magnetic force can easily control various weapons and armor, and if necessary, it can also affect gold and iron artifacts to obtain strategic heights. And the flaws speak for themselves: too ostentatious. With Hado's personality, he prefers to act in a peaceful (unknown), inclusive (dressed up as the other tribesman), practical (controlling the people of other tribes), and low-key (secretly taking people away), and flying around in a big discus like this is completely opposite to his style, not only is it loud (anyone can hear it), the appearance is obvious (anyone can see it), the function is special (no one has ever seen it), and it is not easy to carry (you can't zoom in and out freely), It is difficult to shape (too lazy to mine and smelt), and in general it is not more useful except for the less effort (no need to trek with both feet) and easy (basically no maintenance). Moreover, after all, the control distance is only 10 steps, which leads to the fact that it can only be used as a more convenient mode of transportation, except for weapon control and use in some crafts, but it cannot bring more use.

After flying through the forest for a while, Hadu also began to notice that the outer edge of the large discus discus became pitted and no longer smooth and sharp, just like an iron axe will curl its blade after cutting a tree for a long time. Usually the way to deal with the curling blade is to grind and reforge, but for this large discus, these two methods are difficult to use. The former requires a large enough grinder (mostly made of quartz), while the latter requires a furnace large enough (the discus can't be broken into several pieces). In the desert area, quartz is still relatively easy to find, after all, this mineral becomes sand after grinding small, as long as you follow the larger grains of sand to find, in the forest area is more troublesome, but there are no large furnaces - even Hado, with the design and construction ability of the kiln of this era, can only build a 5-step radius iron-making furnace at most, no matter how large it is, the problem of the kiln roof collapsing.

In this way, it is very likely that the discus discus will only be able to be disposed of after flying Hado across the channel. However, even if it is discarded, it needs to be placed in a suitable place - it cannot be easily discovered by other human tribes that may appear. After all, Hado also knew that such a gold and iron artifact was very impressive: whether it was its thickness, toughness, and wear resistance, it was not a level that the craftsmen of this era could achieve, but it could improve their own smelting and casting processes for these people who were willing to use their brains. Of course, there is a high probability that after such a large discus is discovered by the people of this period, it will only become a totem of primitive worship, and it is difficult to become a source of guidance for improving technology.

But nothing can be left to chance, and Hadu decided to take care of the big discus throw properly. Sitting steadily on the big discus, the guards looked at the sea with curiosity, it was much better than the desert, unlike the yellow sand in the desert - it was all white and tender sand, and the sea gently covered the beach layer by layer, and you could see crustaceans running rampant on the beach. In addition to the lack of people, the landscape here is no worse than the grassland, but has a more relaxed flavor in it.

After crossing the canyon and climbing the beach on the other side of the mountain, Hadu continued to fly the large discus up the cliff here, and then landed on a flat ground. He manipulated the discus to stand up and smashed it directly into the cliff, and half of the entire discus was stuck in the cliff: if you didn't look down vertically from the cliff, you wouldn't have seen this planted, rocky cliff, let alone see this strange big discus. Another use for it here is that it may be used when Hadu returns.

Exploring this strange land requires experience and methods, which can be basically summarized in several steps:

1. Determine the direction of the journey and the specific method is to climb the highest peak nearby, determine your own orientation after obtaining sufficient terrain height, and then determine the direction of progress, which can be used to identify whether it has deviated with various landmarks, such as obvious rivers, mountains, islands, etc.;

For example, if the target is the traces of human tribes, it is necessary to search within a distance of about 4,000 steps along both sides of the river, and the main search area is the middle and lower reaches (the middle and upper reaches are underfed);

3. Determine the time span of exploration, exploring unfamiliar areas must be time-consuming and labor-intensive, at this time time time management has become a very important thing, how long to stay in a place, how often to explore the overhaul period, how long to continue to search when the exploration is fruitless, how long must return, and the length of time consumption between different search targets, these are all to be expected.

And Hado's idea is that he can't be out for too long - last time he was away for too long, and when he came home, he saw that the mulberry field had changed into the sea, and this time the same thing must not happen again. But this time Hadu may have been wrong: he was indeed walking west along the coastline, but it was already midsummer when he came out of the Sahara, and it had been half a year since he traveled west to Tunisia (the abnormal weather broke the original food chain, and they spent more than half of their time looking for supplies), and it was a rainy winter in the Mediterranean, and it happened to be raining heavily in the Tunisian Strait, and they missed Sicily on the other side. By the time they reached the Strait of Gibraltar, they had already been on a year's journey from the Horde, and there was no way for them to return to "Shin'ne-Nu" without 10 years of exploring the European continent.

And Hado optimistically predicts that after 5 years of exploration, it is time to go back to visit relatives.

Let's start with how these 10 years will affect Shin'ne-Nu, and whether Hado will be able to return to the tribe before his brother and sister reach the end of their lives will be 10 years away. First of all, Hadu and the others are heading north-east, preparing to climb the nearby peak and take a look at the blue ocean area. The woodland roads were more difficult to follow than those in the grasslands, so he had to fly around with an iron axe, cutting down the low branches that were in the way, so that he could barely carve a way out that would not let the branches poke in the face—it didn't hurt to poke them, but it was annoying.

As you go to the top, the trail becomes steeper and the number of trees you can use for your feet decreases. Unable to make it up the steep mountain path, Hado could only look at the nearby trees, then cut off the branches with an iron tool, and then dug a pit in the mountain and inserted the trunk into it to form an irregular but steady staircase for the group to walk. However, their march became extremely slow, and before they reached the mountainside, it was close to sunset, and it seemed that they could only spend the night on the mountain.

The forest was unsafe at night, and they didn't have a sheltered place, so in order to allow the team members to sleep peacefully, Hado decided to dig a cave in the rocks of the mountain directly with the iron tools. In order to increase efficiency, he did not excavate the cave by expanding from the center to the periphery in the usual way, but first determined the outline of the lower cave, and drew out the dirt and stones in it, so that a good shelter could be quickly built.

This method is particularly useful for cutting edges with a hard black rock at the top: this black rock is not only extremely hard, but also particularly wear-resistant and has not been damaged in any way during the excavation of the mountain. In a short time, a cave was dug that could accommodate 25 people and 1 horse, and Hadu chose a more intimate terrain, with a platform outside the cave - he would not fall down the mountain when he woke up tomorrow morning, and at the back of the cave, he also opened a small vent to keep the air fresh inside the cave. Although the mountain breeze is not small, when the temperature gradually rises, it is very important to have continuous and stable ventilation when resting in the wilderness.

After eating the dry food, everyone went to rest, and Hado's physical fitness allowed him to recover in a short time, so he was responsible for all the vigil after coming out to explore. After the guards had all fallen asleep, Hadu sat quietly at the entrance of the cave, looking at the forest in the distance, feeling the humidity of the air and the direction of the wind: he could feel that if he continued to go northeast, there should be a river that was not narrow, and that he would need to continue climbing tomorrow to know. He suddenly had the feeling of returning to the grassland, just like looking at the whole grassland from afar by the eagle's nest at the top of the "Falie" that year.

The land on this side of the blue ocean is also divided into fire and snow seasons like the grasslands, but Hadu also feels that there should be two other seasons. The biological form here is roughly the same as that on the grassland, but there are some slight differences in coat color, population size, and biological habits, and there are not many differences in other aspects, there are also herbivores such as deer, sheep, cattle and horses, and fierce beasts such as tigers, leopards, wolves and bears. However, the only place that is better than the grassland is probably that the water network here is dense and the freshwater resources are extremely abundant. He couldn't help but think that this place would definitely become a rich gathering place for human beings in the future, providing inexhaustible resources and wealth for the human tribes here.

Early the next morning, the team continued to move forward, and when there was still half a rise and fall from the top of the mountain, Lucheng could no longer go up the steep slope at all, so he could only stop in place and let Hadu go up by himself.

When he finally stood at the top of the mountain and looked at the blue sea, his brow furrowed.
