Even the huge body of the snake tortoise is still shaken from side to side by the surrounding sea water after reaching the mouth of the sea. It feels a bit like being on a boat, but this shaking is not suitable for Song Wen and his group who have lived at sea for a long time. What kind of.

After entering the estuary, Ah Man, who was still eager to return home, gradually calmed down, and he was no longer anxious, and flew into the air from time to time to look in the direction of the depths of the mainland. When Song Wen apologized and said that he wanted to When harvesting some reeds near the estuary, he also offered to help.

They stayed near the mouth of the sea for a day. The bone knives were not sharp enough, so it was not so easy to use them to harvest reeds. Midway Yi ran to catch a few plump wild ducks and came back, and found a few wild ducks. Unfortunately, this season is not the season for laying eggs, and there is nothing in the nest except a few duck feathers.

If these wild ducks are raised, do they have a chance to eat duck eggs?

Although Song Wen himself broke out of the egg shell, he has longed for delicious bird eggs for a long time, but it is a pity that he has never encountered a bird laying eggs along the way.

After the reeds were harvested, they were spread out around the wooden house to dry. Song Wen had used vines to weave things before. He was not very good at weaving, but it still looked good after he made it out. But now he doesn’t have much time to do such things. matter.

It is very tiring to make things for use after you have to do everything yourself. It would be great if you can find someone to learn the weaving techniques. In the future, Song Wen will not need to spend a lot of money on various fabrics. Time to do it, even if he is willing to exchange food for him.

"Slap." Crisp slaps sounded in the wooden house.

Living in the sea for a long time, and the temperature in the North Sea has never been hot before, Song Wen almost forgot the fear of being dominated by mosquitoes. On the first night when he stayed near the reeds, he began to ring in his ears. An annoying "buzzing" sound.

The sound was so familiar that it made people hate it, but apart from some unknown weeds brought back in the morning, they didn't have anything that could repel mosquitoes. Fortunately, they were all dressed tightly in winter, and Ah Man buried his head directly in the huge Inside his wings, mosquitoes can't bite him through the thick feathers.

Even Song Wen couldn't stand it, and turned back into a beast while sleeping.

"Buzzing buzzing buzzing." In the silent night when even the seabirds are returning to their nests, apart from the "cracking" sound of the charcoal fire, only these annoying mosquitoes have a sense of presence.

I don't know why these mosquitoes can still come out in such a cold weather?

When harvesting the reeds, there was an accident. A water snake as thick as a fist sprang out from the reeds and bit Song Wen’s arm. Fortunately, the sleeves of his animal fur coat were sewn. In order not to be cut by the leaves of the reeds, he He Yi also wore an animal leather glove. The deerskin was tough enough, and the water snake's teeth could not break through the thick layers of animal skin, but Song Wen could still feel a burst of pain.

Yi reacted faster than Song Wen, the bitten person. He walked over in three or two steps and pinched the water snake's head. The person who caught him was entangled. The water snake used to rely on entanglement to capture its prey, but it was obvious that it kicked the iron plate today.

"Song Song, are you okay?"

"It's okay." Song Wen shook his head, took a step forward, and directly pierced the bone knife in his hand into the water snake's seven inches, and even cut off the entire snake's head abruptly. I don't know if the water snake is poisonous, Song Wen Pulling the sleeves away, I didn't see the broken skin, so I couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Don't snakes have the habit of hibernating?Why do you still come out in winter?Moreover, judging from the appearance of the water snake, it looked like it was just an immature cub, and it was unknown how big this water snake would grow when it became an adult.

The appearance of the snake is somewhat similar to that of the snake and tortoise, but the snake head is uglier. Yi Yi threw the snake head far away where they would not step in with a bit of disgust, and then shook the snake body as thick as an arm. , asked Song Wen, "Is this food edible?"

Song Wen thought of various ways to eat snakes almost instantly, but he had never eaten snakes before, he only knew that the poison of snakes was hidden in its mouth, after removing the head, eating only the body would not cause any harm. It's a big problem, but unfortunately they don't have the materials to make wine. I heard that snakes are good for making wine.

"You can eat it."

Because they encountered a water snake, they were more careful when harvesting in the reeds. Fortunately, there was no snake nest nearby, and there was no other danger except for the water snake that they had already disposed of.

I stayed near the estuary for a day and then continued to set off. After passing through the reeds, there is a swamp. There are also many traces of bird activities here. These birds live together in groups of one group and one group. , densely packed, as if this is their breeding ground.

The swamp was covered with thick snowflakes, and it was not clear what kind of weeds were growing in it. Song Wen didn't stay here any longer, but let the snake tortoise continue to move forward.

Going in from the mouth of the sea is the river that Aman said will run through the entire continent.

The orcs who came here named this river the North River. The meaning is very simple. It means to miss the North Sea where their ancestors lived. It's just that the orcs who live on this continent now have no chance to see the North Sea. the scenery.

The size of this continent is very large. Even if you go up the river, it may take more than a month to get to the territory where the Harpy is. Of course, if you change to Ah Man's speed, you can save half of it. time.

Song Wen knew that Ah Man had been away from the Southland for a long time, and he really wanted to return to the ethnic group as soon as possible, so he didn't stop too much on the road. He would only go ashore to look for some wild vegetables and herbs when passing through the forest, or go hunting for a while. Fan, it usually takes half a day, and then continue on the road.

Although Song Wen didn't investigate the surrounding terrain in depth, he was able to notice something in just a few days along the way.

Whether it is "people", animals or plants in this world, it seems that there is a certain discrepancy with my cognition in terms of living environment and living habits.

For example, the various birds encountered along the way, the birds do not seem to have the habit of migrating to live in warmer places. During the non-breeding season, they will stay on the water, in the swamp, in the reeds, etc., On the contrary, there is no trace of the wild beasts that should live in the forest. Occasionally, one or two animals with thick hair and able to live in severe cold areas will not live together in groups like birds. .

There are no ferocious predators such as crocodiles in the river. This place seems to be a paradise for birds. They have almost no natural enemies. The rich fish resources near the estuary are their food source, unless they are idle Birds will run to snatch the meat in other people's mouths, otherwise no one would be hungry here.

Of course, maybe when other beasts return to this place in spring, these fat birds that have been raised all winter are the best food for them to fill their stomachs.

Among these birds, there are not too ferocious birds, and their body size will not be as large as that of the orcs. At the beginning, Song Wen was worried about what would happen if the orcs could not be distinguished from ordinary birds when hunting. But in fact, this concern is purely superfluous.

Not to mention that the orcs are born with a certain kind of induction that can identify the same kind, that is, in the southern land, as long as you see a huge and fierce bird, there are nine out of ten that you are a orc. Only places like the North Sea can breed animals like The ice flamingo giant petrel is a raptor that can directly pose a threat to the beastmen.

Of course, this kind of raptor is blocked by the waterspout barrier in the opposite North Sea. Except for the ice flamingo who has found a way to pass through the barrier, other fierce birds do not pose any threat to the orcs.

Song Wen kept these changes in mind. Occasionally he would ask Ah Man or the snake tortoise about things in the forest. It was similar to what he had guessed. In winter, most of the wild animals would migrate into the deeper dense forests. The miasma and smog shrouded it, and even the most powerful orcs dared not go in easily. Therefore, in winter, many people could no longer fill their stomachs, and sometimes only people ventured into the dense forest to hunt when they were very hungry.

"If you know that there are so many birds near the estuary in winter, no matter how far the distance is, people will fly here to hunt. At least you can have a good meal here." Ah Man sighed. I have suffered from starvation in winter, but it is strange that no one has thought of going to the sea to find food. Whenever the sea is mentioned, the elders in the clan always have a secretive attitude.

They had fled from the sea into the forest, and the deep-rooted fear made them fear the sea like the flamingos who would steal all their eggs.

These are the sequelae left by the orcs from the catastrophe that destroyed the entire North Sea.

This day they passed a rocky mountain. This was the seventh day after they entered the Beihe River. The sea was so far away that there was no shadow in sight, and the air no longer had the salty smell unique to the sea. To be honest, I have lived on the sea for a long time. , suddenly entered the inland, Song Wen was still a little uncomfortable.

The stone mountain is a bit far away from the river, but this is the first mountain they encountered after entering the mainland. Song Wen decided to take a look, maybe they could find some useful ores, and they could climb to the top of the mountain. I can overlook the surrounding scenery, and with Ah Man around, climbing the mountain is not a difficult task.

The stone mountain is very tall, and the Guibei mountain is like a small mound in comparison with it.

The happiest thing after entering the forest is the snake tortoise. Even in winter, there are many evergreen plants growing here. For the snake tortoise, it is simply a huge canteen with a full range of varieties. After eating, every time Song Wen and the others went ashore, the snake turtle stayed by the river to eat. Its neck can be stretched very long, and it can eat slowly around the plants on both sides of the river bank.

Snake turtles like this kind of place where they can enjoy food without having to take care of the turtle's back and grow plants on the turtle's back island.
