Chapter 024: Molan Mountain, Longbai River
"Long Bai, are you tired?"
"A little tired......"
"Then you have a cup of hot water!"
"Good ......"
Every evening when she stopped to rest, Mo Lan would take out her kettle, and the Force would make a jug of fresh water, heat it, and fill the dragon cypress with a bamboo tube.
"Mo Lan, rest for the night, tomorrow morning, we should go back."
Long Bai took a sip of hot water and buried himself in combing his tentacles.
"You're going back again?"
Mo Lan had already picked up a kettle made of ice and fire, and she had found nothing for a long time, but she was still enthusiastic.
"Aren't you preparing plenty of food for the colony? Let's look again. ”
Long Bai sighed: "I have searched so far along the upstream and downstream of the river, there is no trace at all, if you think about it carefully, there are only two possibilities: first, the ice and fire kettle is just a single piece scattered, and you accidentally picked it up; The second possibility ......"
"Did it come from a tributary when the rain was raining and the water was rising? If this is the case, it should be a river on the east bank, deep in the cloud trace continent. ”
"That's right! Long Bai, you are so smart! ”
Seeing that Long Bai had the intention of retreating, Mo Lan hurriedly praised vigorously and said, "Then let's look for it along the tributaries on the east coast." ”
Long Bai: "Along the way, I have noticed that there are a total of 37 large and small tributaries in the river section we have searched. Suppose, on average, a tributary is delayed by four or five days, you do the math. ”
"Uh-"
Mo Lan tried to calculate, her head was big.
Long Bai: "Go back first, rest and come back." ”
……
The coldest part of winter has passed.
The temperature rose, and the Mo Lan and Han Lan life seeds in the Mo Lan territory took the lead in sensing and drew their swords.
The warrior in the evolution of Melan has been in the past year, and its ordinary life species have grown well, and the flowering period has moved forward.
"Mo Lan, this is the last expedition this year. At the beginning of spring, there are many things to be busy in our territory. ”
"Yes. I know. Let's go. ”
Mo Lan urged Long Bai to make the fourth trip.
Identifying the direction, he flew in a straight line, and it took a day and a night to reach the river.
It took a day to go up the river to find a tributary, and then follow the tributary up to the mountain at the source.
Turn around, search north across the mountains and forests, find a river, and go down into the big river.
Then go up the river and search against the next tributary.
"Dragon cypress! Dragon Cypress! ”
Suddenly, lying on the edge of the throne, Mo Lan, who was looking and searching, jumped up, her wings flapping vigorously against the somewhat absent-minded dragon cypress.
Long Bai stood up, followed by a glance at both sides of the river below, and asked, "Found something?" Where is it? ”
"Force Waves!"
"Over there!"
"I'll go first!"
Mo Lan jumped up, flapped his wings into the air, sped at great speed, and disappeared into the mountains.
The Force?
I don't feel it......
“!!!”
Long Bai stepped up his efforts and manipulated the Throne of Domination to rise high into the air and speed forward.
After flying for a long time, finally, I vaguely felt the force fluctuations that Mo Lan said.
It is true that there is a very thin Force that spreads from afar.
A white dot appeared in view, and Merlan sped back, circling the Throne of Dominion.
"Dragon Cypress!"
"Found it!"
"It's a big place, and the Force is abundant!"
"Over there!"
"I'll go first! Hurry up. ”
After Mo Lan finished speaking, he turned around and left again.
The dragon cypress controlled the throne of domination, adjusted its direction slightly, and chased the direction in which Mo Lan disappeared.
Passing through the mountains is the reckless plain forest.
Gradually, the fluctuations of the Force are becoming clearer.
From midmorning to dusk, under the residual sun, a low mountain range can be seen from high in the sky.
The concentration of the Force is not as good as that of the Mountain Domain, but it is not low, and it is on par with the general places of the Ten Thousand Races Continent and the Ten Thousand Nations Continent.
Mo Lan saw it from afar, galloped over, and greeted him excitedly.
"Dragon cypress! You've finally arrived! ”
"I've looked at it once, and there's a big area around that little mountain range, and the Force is pretty rich."
"No other zergs were found, no wild god-given seeds were seen. We can spend a few days searching here. ”
Long Bai simply responded: "Okay! ”
Busy for most of the winter, the creation of extraterrestrial civilization has not been found, but it is also very good to be able to find such a place of the Force as desired.
It's not early, and I rest under a big locust tree at the foot of the mountain.
"Dragon cypress. Drink hot water. ”
Mo Lan took out its ice and fire kettle, poured a bamboo tube for Long Bai, and poured another tube for herself, and drank it in one go.
"Long Bai, I think we should give a name to the territory we found."
"You want to. If we come out and search every winter, we will definitely find more places like the Force. With a name, it's easy to distinguish, right? ”
"...... right"
Long Bai proposed: "The mountain territory where we settled is planted with the seed of the fruit pandan god, and according to the common practice in the mainland, it can be named 'pandan mountain'. Here, Mo Lan, you were the first to discover it, so it's called 'Mo Lan Mountain'. ”
"Yay!"
Mo Lan cheered and proposed, "That big river also has a name, how about we call it 'Longbai River'?" ”
Long Bai: "......"
Not good~
Long Bai: "It's better to call it 'Zhan Lan Jiang', or 'Zhanjiang', or 'Blue River'." ”
Mo Lan pondered a little and said, "Blue River! That's a nice name! ”
"Then call it 'Blue River.'"
It's just a name, there's nothing to worry about, and Long Bai agreed without much thought.
Mo Lan asked, "Long Bai, are you hungry?" ”
Long Bai: "Sort of. ”
Mo Lan: "I'm going to catch two frogs." ”
Eating frogs again? Long Bai hesitated for a moment and asked, "Mo Lan, you seem to have a great prejudice against frogs?" ”
Mo Lan was angry when she heard this.
"When I was a young child, I could only hunt locusts in the grass by the river at the foot of the mountain, and a group of pesky frogs were always stealing food from me. The locusts were eaten by them, and I was often hungry and worried about being eaten. ”
"Later, when I grew up and became more powerful, I specialized in catching frogs, observing them attentively, and figuring out hunting techniques."
"Forehead ......"
"Awesome ......"
Long Bai was speechless.
You can really hold a grudge.
……
The next day, Long Bai and Mo Lan split up and launched a carpet search of the jungle.
It took half a day for Long Bai to figure out the general situation.
The Force rises from the ground and is a large area with a small mountain range as its axis, about seven or eight kilometers in length and four or five kilometers in width.
The terrain is flat, the temperature is moderate, and there is a large river with a width of five or six meters flowing through it, and Molan named it 'Longbai River'.
With abundant water resources, it is very suitable for the reclamation of a treasure land for the development of fruit forests.
Five days of searching, nothing came of it.
It is not surprising that the plants bloom and bear fruit, if there is no care, the fruit may be eaten by birds and beasts just before it is ripe or even ripe, and only a few can survive to land, and then there are all kinds of animals on the ground that eat fruits and eat seeds.
The same goes for insect warriors, who are weak in the first instar stage, unlucky, or not smart enough to become food for birds and beasts, and it is almost impossible for them to survive on their own.
Mo Lan is a unique special case, it is very smart in itself, and it is also very lucky, and it is lucky to survive in Xianglan Mountain.
Unfazed, Long Bai and Mo Lan set off for their home, discussing with great interest how to develop this new territory in the future.
