☆, Supplementary Chapter Salt Lake Settlement in Mishi Mountains
It was the early spring after the ice and snow had melted, and even the forest was green, so to be honest, it was really nothing to see. Lu Bing tightly held the animal leather strap tied to Maxine's body, squinted his eyes to avoid the airflow brought by the high-speed flight, and watched the ferocious beasts below who had been hungry throughout the cold winter hunt and hunt their prey after the spring. Looking sideways at the top of the head, the sun has risen to the middle. Lu Bing pressed his already hungry stomach firmly on Maxine's slippery scales below. It's not time to eat yet. They just met the moa flock not long ago. Although they are avoiding it now, it's better to be careful.
After coming here for a long time, Lu Bing was already dazzled with hunger, and after the sun was westward, Maxine finally found a hidden cliff cave in a tall forest. After taking Lu Bing to hide in, Maxine looked distressedly at the already stiff body lying on the hastily laid animal skin blanket, moaning quietly. Maxine found a water bag in the animal skin package he was carrying and supported Lu Bing to drink some water, then hurriedly started a small fire, the wood was still carried in the package.
After the fire was built, Maxine took out the stainless steel box Lu Bing used in the field and put it on the fire quickly, added the water in the water bag and dried meat to boil. After finishing Lu Bing's eating, Maxine carefully massaged Lu Bing's limbs with light force. Seeing Lu Bing, who was constantly feeling uncomfortable, strengthened Maxine's determination to let Lu Bing join the large Tiger tribe.
The fire was not too high, and after Lu Bing's muscles relaxed, he cooked a broth for one person. Maxine carefully took out the broth and put it in front of Lu Bing, watching Lu Bing drink it in small sips, swallowed the rest of the jerky and drank up the water bag by himself. "Lu, I'm going out to hunt."
Biting a piece of meat and swallowing it quickly, Lu Bing looked at Maxine and nodded. "I'll be careful. You should be careful too."
Maxine nodded and left, then went to the bottom of the cliff and made a wooden door to plug the hole, and then sprinkled some insect repellent medicine outside the cave to make sure that nothing was missed. Flap your wings and fly into the forest to hunt. In the cave, Lu Bing drank the hot broth and carefully rolled up the animal skins under his body with the still extinguished fire, took out the tent in his backpack and set it up, and then threw the animal skins into the tent. After finishing these fires flickering, Lu Bing looked at the sunlight penetrating through the cracks in the wood and took out the seasoning to prepare for the barbecue.
Remembering Lu Bing who was alone, Maxine hastily captured a bear and wood that came out for food. It has only been a few days since the snow has melted, and the wood has not yet dried out, so we can only pick and choose the usable ones. With these things, Maxine returned to the cave on the edge of the cliff, flicked his tail, took off the wooden door and drilled in to put the prey and wood. Then he transformed back into the second form and put the door on the stone on the side of the cave entrance.
As for the small fire, Lu Bing first used some wood that was still burning to move the still burning fire to the entrance of the cave. At the same time, Maxine brought the prey back to the place where it was not used. When he looked up, he could see the stream of the cave cleaning the prey. . Make do with the dry wood brought back by Maxine mixed with a small amount of semi-dry wood to build a fire, and surround the remaining wood in a circle across the fire, hoping to dry it out with the help of the fire. At night, Maxine relied on the bear meat and the fish caught in the creek, and Lu Bing kept roasting the half-wet wood around the fire while he piled the dried wood in the open space on the other side.
After dinner, Maxine also processed a large pile of wood. Maxine surrounded the last pile of wood and got into the tent to go to bed. Go to the edge of the tent and get in.
Dodging predators from Maodong from time to time along the way, the two finally arrived at the outskirts of the Tiger tribe on the evening of the twelfth day. Maxine transformed and took Lu Bing outside again, watching the Tiger Clan patrolmen flying over. Lu Bing practiced conversations with Maxine from time to time on the road. It can be said that apart from some old customs and customs that Lu Bing hadn't asked, the basic conversations were heard to be all right.
"From the Flying Snake Clan, what's the matter with our Tiger Clan?" Two big tigers with white fluff and white wings in tawny stripes stopped still less than 50 meters away from Maxine and Lu Bing, with their mouths open. Hukou was talking, but Lei's path was unclear.
"This female is going to join your tribe." Maxine glanced at Lu Bing, who was in a trance beside him, and finished speaking indifferently with bitterness. The two tigers on the opposite side sniffed lightly, and said with some satisfaction: "Single females who have not yet married, our tribe welcomes you to join." After
Lei came back to his senses, Lu Bing was a little surprised to hear such explosive news. "Oh, thanks."
Maxine closed his eyes and quickly opened them again, gently pushing Lu Bing forward. After walking a few steps, Lu Bing turned around and saw Maxine standing there motionless. "Hurry up, Maxine."
"Lu Bing, I can't go there. Go in quickly, it's getting dark." Maxine shook her head and didn't move. Lu Bingzhuo looked at Maxine with wide eyes, and then at the two impatient big tigers behind him. The tiger clan is really unfamiliar. "I'll go with you."
Lu Bing chose Maxine without any hesitation under the formula that Maxine, who had been with good people for several times, and who didn't know the situation well. In their eyes, she was female = woman. Xin seems to be easy to handle, especially since females are rare in this world. Thinking of this Lu Bing, I fought a cold war, 3P or something, I am a VS and a supporter.
Seeing Lu Bing walking towards him step by step, Maxine couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, but when he thought of the crisis outside, his face became a little gloomy. Lu Bing also knew that he was weak, but killing him would not be NP. "Maxine, let's go. It's getting dark."
Maxine looked at the displeased Tiger Clan on the opposite side, and nodded at Lu Bing beside him. As soon as the animal shape came out, he took Lu Bing back to the tree hole where he rested last night. and go. The icy wind blowing over the scaly body brought a little comfort, and Maxine was proud of it while thinking that it was a place to settle down.
After planning to live alone with Lu Bing, Maxine began to prepare. First, he went to the salt lake hidden in the middle of the forest that his father had mentioned to get some salt, and then he planned to find a safe place to settle down. Maxine has never been to Salt Lake, so it can be said that few people know about that place. Maxine's father was hunted down by moas for half a month when he was traveling, and he found it by accident. Maxine is now flying in the general direction his father said.
The direction to the salt lake was going smoothly. At this time, the grass had already emerged, and all the herbivorous animals had round stomachs. The carnivores were not as hungry as they were a few days ago. After hiding and hiding for almost twenty days after the salt was digested, that is, almost two months after the ice and snow melted, Maxine finally found the salt lake. On the way, Lu Bing also asked Maxine why he came to such a far place to get salt. Maxine explained: "Every orc tribe is built near the salt land, and the snake tribe and the tiger tribe share one. I was driven by the snake tribe. Li, the Tiger Clan won't give it to me."
Knowing the value of salt and the unpalatable food after salt shortage, Lu Bing longed for salty food. Coarse salt crystallized by the lake, Lu Bing happily pulled Maxine to stuff the clean and agglomerated salt into the prepared animal skin bag. Until the two big bags were filled, Lu Bing reluctantly sat on Maxine's animal-shaped back and flew back to the cliff cave by the salt lake.
Excitedly, I cleaned a tortoise shell that was about one meter wide and one meter five in length and put it on a stone stove, covered it with water and boiled it with a wooden lid. Turn around and wash the picked wild vegetables and mushrooms, cut them with a dagger and put them in a large wooden bowl for later use, take out the salt block in the animal skin bag, crush them carefully and put them in your stainless steel lunch box. After finishing a box, it would weigh several kilograms, Lu Bing smiled and squinted his eyes. There were no impurities, soil, sand or sand in these salt cubes, which saved him a lot of time.
The tortoise shell is very thick and the water boils slowly. When Maxine returned to the cave with the processed meat, the water hadn't boiled yet. Maxine took three fat grass carp weighing about ten catties and handed it to Lu Bing. Lu Bing took the fish with a smile and put them on a clean and wide leaf. He turned around and dug some ginger from wild vegetables and threw it into the tortoise shell. When Maxine roasts the meat, the water will be turned on, and the fish and mushrooms will be put directly into the boiling water, and then put the wild vegetables and add salt. A pot of wild vegetables and mushroom fish soup will be ready, with a salty taste. Barbecue Maxine and Lu Bing opened their bellies and ate very full.
After resting by the salt lake for seven or eight days, Lu Bing and Maxine set off again. They must find a permanent place to live before the rainy season. Unexpectedly, it was far away from the salt lake, and the two decided to continue exploring in four directions around the salt lake. Not far from the salt lake, they encountered a team of at least 20 adult moa birds again. Seeing a bad opportunity, Maxine began to dive into the forest early. The backpack on the back of the ice and a bundle of animal skins carried the road ice directly into the densest forest. After running for a long distance, Maxine finally took Lu Bing to nest in a big tree hole that could be surrounded by twenty people, and even killed two adult wild ducks in the tree hole, seven or eight half-sized ducks.
When Maxine broke the duck's neck, Lu Bing also tacitly took out the powder from his backpack that could repel insects and snakes, and evenly sprinkled it on the hole. Within a short while, a group of moa flew over the sky, and within half an hour they flew back and circled for a while before leaving. According to the habits of the moa, after confirming that he will not come back, Maxine returns to the place where the package was discarded in the second form, carries the intact package back to the tree hole, and takes the family of wild ducks that are dead and not tasty Bring back wood and stones and soil to make a fire on the road ice, and hunt nearby by yourself. After a night's rest, the two got up and left again.
In the following day, the sun had already scorched the earth, and in the unobstructed sky, the sun would shine on Zheng's body, and he would sweat and feel uncomfortable after a while. Maxine knew that Lu Bing was not resistant to heat, so he saw a small water source in front of him from a distance, and there were no hunting beasts there, and the sky was empty.
The so-called plan can't keep up with the changes. When Maxine drove Lu Bing to the water source, a large group of sharp-billed eagles just flew over there. The natural enemy of snakes and eagles, Maxine took Lu Bing and flew southward in a panic before the sharp-billed eagle came over. Sitting on Maxine's body, Lu Bing naturally also noticed the black bird team in the distant sky, and tied himself tightly to Maxine's body, bowed his head on the cold scales and said nothing. The number of chases in the sky continued until midnight, and it was because Maxine's flying speed was faster that he did not become the prey of the sharp-billed eagle.
No matter how strong Maxine was, he couldn't support the long and rapid flight. The two found a seemingly deserted cliff at the foot of the cliff. The joy of narrow escape made them laugh for a long time on the cold and damp ground. After resting for a while, Lu Bing began to hand over the dried meat in the animal skin quilt and the water bag hanging from his waist to Maxine, while he took out a candied fruit from his pocket and bit it. After quickly feeding his stomach, Maxine scanned the surroundings with his orc's excellent night vision eyes, and soon Maxine looked at Lu Bing who was swallowing food in small mouthfuls in a weird way. "Lu, this is probably the beast cemetery that our ancestors talked about."
People who have watched the animal world have heard of the elephant cemetery, and the beast cemetery does exist in this Anka continent, which also dominates beasts, but everyone just talks about it. An orc found it. Lu Bing swallowed the jerky in his mouth, took a gulp of water, and ran to Maxine, looking at him with green eyes. "Are you sure?"
"En."
"It's great. I've always wanted to visit the legendary elephant cemetery, but when I was on Earth, I didn't have a good character and I couldn't find it in Yunnan. I didn't expect it to be here, but it was even better. Yes." Lu Bing couldn't wait to go shopping right away, but fortunately Maxine still had reason to pull Lu Bing to persuade him, so Lu Bing calmed down and promised to talk again after dawn. The two of them hurriedly picked up some dead branches nearby, built a firepit, spread out the animal skins, and lay down side by side. Lying in the pile of animal skins, Lu Bing thought that tomorrow he could see for himself how amazing this beast cemetery is, and his excitement led the way. Bing began to think wildly, and when he thought about it, he thought of the corpse poison. Thinking of the corpse poison and stench, Lu Bing became nervous again, and hurried back to the place where the backpack was placed, took out the folded gas mask stored in the outer pocket of the backpack, put it on, and forced Maxine to put on another one. Lu Bing still felt that he was not protected enough and anxiously knelt in his backpack looking for something useful. Maxine couldn't figure it out and had to ask the busy Lu Bing. "Lu, what's the matter."
Through the mask, Maxine's deep and sexy voice was also distorted a lot, and Lu Bing expressed his concerns without raising his head, Maxine couldn't help but smile. "Lu, my nose is fine. It's fine."
The hand rummaging through things suddenly stopped at this moment, Lu Bing raised his head stiffly and looked at the big and round moon in the sky, speechless, how could he forget the orc's powerful nose. . . At the end of the incident, the two people set up a tent in this dead and safe cemetery and took the animal skin bedding in to rest. However, when the sun was high the next day, two men wearing gas masks walked around the cemetery at random. Occasional commenters have wondered what purpose these uncorrupted bone helmet armors have.
The two stayed in the cemetery for a day and when they were ready to take off, Lu Bing was already very reluctant. There were many skeletons that could be used there, but now the two were wandering and couldn't take them away. After flying into the sky, Maxine flew towards the east. Because of the last chase, he could not find the location of the salt lake. Now the two of them are thinking about finding the salt lake and starting from the salt lake. This time, it took five days to find the salt lake again. During these five days, the two of them also successfully discovered a huge water vein.
After making up their minds to settle near the water veins, the two of them began to search along the main veins and tributaries of the water veins. One month before the rainy season, they finally found a large group of Mishi mountains at the end of the largest branch water system. The Mishi Mountains stand in the middle of the tributaries, and it can also be said that the tributaries flow through the gaps in the middle of the mountains. The range of dense stone mountains and complex water veins is estimated to be as large as a county on the earth. Maxine carried the road ice and stopped under a huge bare mountain in the middle of the mountains. The surrounding water and buffers hit at least hundreds of people. Rice or wheat and other crops can be planted on the fertile beach with more than 1 mu of soil after a little tidying up.
After observing Lu Bing, he was so satisfied that he sat back on Maxine's animal body. Maxine flew to the middle of the mountain with Lu Bing, and the traces of water ripples clearly told them how high the water level would be during the rainy season. Huo Lubing didn't understand Maxine, but he knew it very well. After making a rough estimate, Maxine made a mark at a distance of 150 meters from the ground, and then flew back to the accumulated beach with Lu Bing.
"That's it." Lu Bing heard from Maxine that during the rainy season in the Anka Continent, the flood broke out and submerged many lands. Judging from Maxine's actions just now, he seems to be very satisfied with this place. Maxine squinted her eyes and moved her nose to make sure there were no wild animals on the beach before saying to Lu Bing, "I'll go up and open a cave first, and try to stay at night."
"Okay." After Lu Bing finished speaking, he raised his head and squinted his eyes to look at the bare cliff, a vague plan emerged in his mind. "Wait a minute. Maxine, let's dig a hole on the west side. Maybe someone else will use this side in the future."
Maxine always put Lu Bing first. Do whatever you want. "Well, good. Where do I start?" I
checked the width of the mountain with my eyes. If I followed my plan, this mountain could house more than a dozen families, and each family could be allocated more than 20 acres of land. . . Thinking of this road, I squatted down and pulled out the grass on the ground while thinking about it and drew a rough hole □□, a main passage leading directly to the innermost with many small caves and side passages with horizontal caves on both sides. "Probably like this. The one near the east can be used to raise some docile birds in the future, the one on the west is used to store wood and fresh frozen meat for the ice and snow season, and the front in the middle is dug out from the back of the kitchen hall for storage. . "
Lu Bing thought of this all the time, sighed, stood up and said to Maxine: "Now dig out the main cave."
Maxine bent over and watched by Lu Bing's side when he was drawing the picture. After listening to Lu Bing's plan, Maxine knew that the project was not small, and it might not be finished from now until the ice and snow season. But this is the future home that Lu Bing carefully planned, and Maxine doesn't want to object. "Okay. I'll go up and have a look." "Yes.
" Lu Bing nodded expectantly and watched as Maxine transformed into a second-form angel and flew to the place marked just now. After getting up, Maxine flew an estimated 200 meters all the way from the westernmost edge, turned into a beast shape on a protruding cliff, and threw away the hard secret stone with sharp claws. After half an hour, it was five meters deep and three meters deep. The wide rough cave is ready. Maxine began to dig out the demonstration above the cave again, forming a five-meter-wide platform outside the cave, which was enough for the beast-shaped him to stop.
After dealing with the platform, Maxine cut out a step up along the platform. After going up about ten meters, he quickly dug out the second platform according to the way the platform was dug below, but this platform is on the edge of the cliff with a rock roof. There are also three pillars more than one meter thick. After doing all this well, Maxine saw that the sun was about to set, turned around and went down the mountain, and sent the road ice and luggage waiting below together.
Standing on the second platform and touching the rough and irregular stone pillar road ice is very satisfying. With this, you can dry clothes and quilts, and prevent rainwater from pouring into the cave during the rainy season. Maxine packed her luggage and said to Lu Bing who was wandering around, "Lu, I'm going to hunt and bring back some wood, so be careful."
"En, go." Lu Bing waved Maxine away with a smile.
Maxine's huge beast quickly flew to the forest outside the Mishi Mountains. First, he found some dry trees, uprooted them and put them aside for a while. Then the snake coiled on the ground and sniffed for a while with its forked tongue. Fly directly to the west.
A group of docile elks were grazing in a clearing in the forest. Maxine rushed straight down in mid-air with his sharp claws and lightly grabbed the necks of two adult elks, and the tips of the claws were twisted and pinched into the blood vessels. A large amount of warm blood sprayed out. Taking the two preys, Maxine flew back to the place where the wood was placed, and used his tail to draw vigilance all the way back to the cave in the Mishi Mountains.
After Maxine left, Lu Bing took out his folding shovel and wanted to continue digging. The shovel in his hand hit the dense stone with a bang, but no powder fell down. Lu Bing didn't give up until his arms were numb from the shock. Pain was discouraged and threw the folding shovel aside and sat down against the animal skin.
Lu Bing, who was kneading his arms, was looking at the distant sky where Maxine had left, while thinking about whether to ask Maxine to find some tools at the cemetery tomorrow. I have tried a large rock and it is as easy to cut as cutting tofu. The more he thought about this idea, the more Lu Bing thought with great interest that he might as well let Maxine go get some more by himself, and if possible, take a detour to the salt lake and bring some salt back.
Maxine returned to the first platform with the prey and wood, and was warmly greeted by Lu Bing before transforming. "Maxine, go to the cemetery tomorrow, and bring back some pangolin claws and salt."
Maxine, who had shrunk to the second form, put one arm around Lu Bing who rushed over with an excited face, and Kuan Jie's forehead slightly folds. "Lu, it may take four days for me to go."
"I know." Lu Bing withdrew from Maxine's arms and stood up. He said nonchalantly, "I will stay in the cave forever. Maxine, don't worry about my safety. The most important thing now is to clear the cave before the rainy season." And prepare the food. You also said that the rainy season will last for two full months, and we don't know when the salt lake will be salted in two months, so we might as well get some more as soon as possible."
Maxine said that Lu Bing had no choice but to nod. "I'll go and deal with the prey."
"Okay." Lu Bing picked up a small handful of wood and looked at the compromising Maxine. "Then I'll bring the wood up first."
"Yes." Maxine knew that Lu Bing didn't like to be seen as a weak female, although in Maxine's heart Lu Bing was the weakest, in order to take care of Lu Bing's emotions Maxine Most of the time, I sit by Lu Bing and do some less strenuous work. Lu Bing cheerfully carried the dry wood to the second platform, and under the cliff, Maxine maintained the second form by the river and took the animal skin and meat back to the platform for barbecue after finishing the prey.
After having the safest and most peaceful dinner in this period of time, Maxine continued to dig holes. Lu Bing stood on the steps and watched Maxine dig out large chunks of secret stones and throw them into the river, surprised. I'm speechless again and again. It was tiring to watch Maxine work repeatedly, so Lu Bing decided to sew some animal skin bags first so that they could be filled with salt and pangolin claws.
