Chapter 246: Searching for the Piano (11)
The first rays of the morning sun shone on the beach of the unknown continent, and the two neatly dressed, but drenched and staggered figures, gradually appeared on the beach, slowly heading inland.
These two people are Zhou Daoan and Little Abu, who are immortal.
The sea had glued their hair to locks, and although they were wet, their mouths were showing signs of dryness.
The two drifted at sea all night before slowly reaching the land. Unfortunately, this stretch of coastline is completely deserted and there is no water source in sight. Therefore, they could not rest yet, and had to drag their tired bodies towards the undulating mountains and forests.
Yes, a blessing in disguise, not far from the coast, there are mountains, covered with green woods, indicating that there must be a source of water there. This is also the motivation for the two of them to continue walking, otherwise, they would rather be hungry and thirsty for half a day, and little Abu would also have to take a break.
With motivation, people can always have great potential in the midst of a crisis. Step by step, the two of them really walked into the mountains and forests before noon, and came to a turbulent stream.
"Goo, goo, goo......"
After drinking the mountain spring for a while, and then letting himself be washed by the stream for a while, Zhou Daoan and Xiao Abu finally regained some vitality. At this time, the shriveled belly came to brush the sense of presence again.
Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water. With the ability to step on the ground under their feet and the water source, the two of them didn't panic anymore. So, the adventurer, who had taken a short rest, continued to walk along the stream into the mountains, and sure enough, found that the mountain springs had gathered into a pool.
After briefly confirming that there was no danger in the pool water only reaching the waist, Xiao Abu jumped directly into it. In a short time he grabbed a fat fish and threw it ashore.
"It's a paradise for fish, there are no foreign enemies, they grow freely! We'll eat it, enough is enough! Little Abu exclaimed excitedly - he was in a good mood! lost a big ship and lost more than a dozen crew members and servants, but as long as his life remains, he can quickly adjust his mood and face the rest of his life.
This is undoubtedly the "talent" that adventurers should have.
After a full meal, feeling the heat and energy generated from the abdomen and gradually spread throughout the body gave the two adventurers confidence.
Now, they don't have a boat and don't know where they are, so their only option is to continue exploring the depths of the land to see if they can solve the second problem. If the second problem is solved and it can be determined that it is inhabited, then a solution to the first problem can be sought and, ultimately, a return to Baghdad.
"Zhou, thank you so much for this trip. It's a pity that the boat is gone, and that piano may not be able to be cashed out to you. But please rest assured, as long as I can go back to Baghdad, I will definitely compensate you......" Little Abu still felt a little guilty about Zhou Daoan.
But he didn't know that Zhou Daoan had a wormhole bracelet on his body, and that Qin had been put into the bracelet by him since it was handed over to Zhou Daoan. Even if the ship was wrecked, it didn't affect him in the slightest to take the piano out of the bracelet.
Now he naturally doesn't need to say anything, but as a system task, the deadline is far from coming, so Zhou Daoan still continues to accompany Xiao Abu to "travel" in a very contractual spirit.
The two of them followed the veins of the mountains, walking day after day, catching fish and small animals and eating wild fruits when they were hungry, and drinking mountain springs when they were thirsty. At night, if you are lucky, you will find a cave and a tree hole, and if you are unlucky, you will be covered by the sky, and after a few days, there is no danger of life.
Seeing that nearly 1 month has passed, the mountains have long gone out, and now they have been "walking" in the plains for more than half a month, but they have not seen a big living person, and the two can't help but be a little surprised - at that time, several known continents, Asia, Africa and Europe have been civilized for thousands of years, and the footprints of people are all over, and it is reasonable to say that above the ocean, several desert islands have not been set foot in. But if they were on a continent, it would be a little strange if they had walked for so long without encountering a single human habit.
What's more, the water and grass here are abundant, the plains are endless, and the mountainous areas are rich in resources...... If there were human beings living even a simple and primitive life, it would be a paradise, not to mention that the climate is very pleasant. The two of them have been mixed in clothes for 1 month, and they rely on these clothes to keep out the cold at night, and sometimes they are naked during the day because of washing...... Even so, I didn't feel too cold or too hot during the process. This means that the climate here is in a suitable range for the human body's own temperature.
"If the land really hasn't been discovered, or even the indigenous people...... Oh my God, Zhou, isn't this our kingdom? Imagine if I occupied this place......"
Little Abu began to fantasize. However, Zhou Daoan is too lazy to pick up the stubble, because with his knowledge of the earth, he clearly knows that the parts of the world have long been fixed. There is no way that such a large area of land will emerge in the Indian Ocean, and the only possibility is ...... That giant whale can swim as fast as Godzilla and can complete an intercontinental trip in a matter of hours! Sent them on a whole new road!
North America? South america? Although there is no reference on the surface of the sea, according to the change of the sun, they should have gone southeast at first, in other words...... Did they get to Oceania?!
Oceania was discovered in the 16th century, when the Portuguese sailed through New Guinea, which falls under the category of Oceania. It is also rumored that Polynesians arrived in New Zealand around the 1st millennium, but the discovery recognized by the Europeans was in the 17th century, when the Dutch arrived on the west bank of New Zealand. Australia was only discovered in the 18th century......
And now they are still at the end of the 8th century AD! It's much earlier than all these times in real history! If it is true that this is a certain piece of land in Oceania, they will indeed go down in history.
Will this be another achievement?
Thinking of this, Zhou Daoan was a little interested, and was about to discuss the possibility of this land being a new continent with Xiao Abu, when suddenly a group of black spots appeared on the horizon of the plain in front of him, and then, there was a shout, and it was chaotic.
The two of them hurriedly stood still, raised their eyes and looked over, and after a while, they saw that the group of black dots was approaching quickly, and they could already see that it was a group of strangely dressed people!
Most of them were naked, their bodies and limbs, their hair scattered, and their bare skin was tattooed with patterns, as if they had put a layer of blue armor on their bodies.
The gang screamed, holding various primitive weapons in their hands, chasing the four people not far ahead.
These four people were dressed differently from the group of "wild men", at least they were wearing decent clothes, but they were divided into groups of twos and twos, and they were all carrying one on their own. When I ran closer, I found that these two groups of people were tall men, carrying two beautiful girls on their backs - the two women were wearing decent long clothes, but their faces were black hair and white skin, which were different from the appearance of the two men who ran away, but similar to the appearance characteristics of the wild men chasing behind them.
Zhou Daoan subconsciously thought of Zhu Bajie's daughter-in-law...... However, the scene in front of me is not comic, but it makes people nervous. Because even if those two tall men seemed to be full of strength and excellent athleticism, carrying two real people would definitely reduce their running speed.
The group of "wild men" behind him is not burdened, and the crude weapons in their hands must be more easily larger than the living people, so the distance between chasing and being chased is constantly shrinking.
In a short time, the two men who had fled had already stumbled, but they didn't seem to have any intention of giving up the woman on their backs, gritting their teeth and continuing to run. However, the strength of willpower cannot overcome reality every time! After seeing that the group of wild men had narrowed the target to a range that could be attacked, some wild men immediately began to bend their bows and arrows, shooting one feather arrow after another, attacking the fleeing people.
There are also some savages with nets in their hands, wrapped around stones, whirring and whisking, and then coming out of their hands after seeing it, which is also a long-range weapon.
For a while, the attacks of the dozen or so wild men were all very good, making it even more difficult for the already exhausted escapees to deal with. A round of feathered arrows, a round of stones, and another round of ......
Unfortunately, in the second wave of attacks, a strong man was shot in the calf by a feathered arrow. He screamed, and his body fell uncontrollably, lunged forward, and then fell and rolled along with the woman behind his back.
But even if the two of them fell to the ground, the strong man still tightly protected the woman behind him, and the two of them still maintained the posture of carrying their backs and did not separate.
As soon as the strong man fell, he shouted for help to his companions. The companion ran away from him, but apparently the man had no room to bother with the fallen companion. The man was about to grit his teeth and continue to flee, but the woman behind him called something.
Of course, in terms of language, little Abu didn't understand it at all, and only felt that it was some strange language babbling. But Zhou Dao'an, who had a universal language reader, immediately understood—the woman shouted: Don't leave my sister, save her!
It was this sentence that made the other man who carried the man subconsciously stopped, and seemed to hesitate about whether to rescue or not.
In this moment of crisis, the slightest hesitation is the rhythm of death. Sure enough, the big man who escaped only paused slightly, and immediately a flying stone broke through the air, and the woman behind her reacted quickly, "Ahhhh But the strong man was not so lucky, the back of his head was directly smashed out of a big blood pit, and he didn't even let out a scream, and immediately fell crookedly and fell forward.
Similarly, when the man fell, even though the brains and blood splashed and stained the woman's body, it did not let the woman leave the strong man's back.
The two fell together again.
