After eating and drinking, the snake tortoise went back to the middle of the river, retracted into the turtle shell and fell asleep. Because there was an extra guest, there was no need to continue on the road today. After all, Ada’s goal was Beihai, which was exactly in the direction they were going. on the contrary.

The grass and trees near the river have become bare. The snake tortoise is very skillful when foraging, so as not to hurt the trunk itself. When spring comes next year, these trees will re-grow new shoots.

The few people in the room had eaten their fill early, and Song Wen finally shared the rattan melon soup with salt among them. It was regarded as the last dessert. After drinking it, the whole person was full of satiety.

At this time, I also have the time to inquire about Ah Da's affairs. Perhaps because of this meal of meat as a foreshadowing, Ah Da's favorability with several people was directly wiped out. The eighteen generations of each person's ancestors must be counted one by one.

In fact, what Ah Da knows about Nanlu is similar to what Ah Man knows. After all, there is a lot of friction between the two races, and they live relatively close together. Most of the territories are mixed together. On the high mountain wall, one lives on the flat ground, and there is not much competition in the territory.

However, the Black Crow Clan is a race that makes Song Wen very interested.

The Black Crow Clan is a relatively peaceful race. The peace mentioned here means that the clansmen don't like fighting very much. Unlike other races, sometimes the same clan will suddenly fight because of a little friction.When it came to this, Ah Da deliberately stopped and told everyone first.

"Even in severe winter, it is best to maintain human form for half of the day. People of other races rely too much on animal form. This is not acceptable. If you are not careful, you may be completely taken over by the animal nature in your blood." If you have the upper hand, it will become difficult to think about transforming in the future."

After Ah Da finished speaking, he secretly glanced at the harpies next to him, and lowered his voice a bit, "The elders in our clan have guessed that your harpy clan might have relied too much on the beast shape at the beginning, and finally turned to the harpies. Incomplete shape."

Ah Man was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he kicked Ah Da to the ground. He finally knew why the clansmen hated the people of the Black Crow clan so much. Dogs couldn’t spit out ivory. Saying it can poke the idea of ​​​​their rage.

"Our harpies are born and raised. Our ancestors just chose a different way of awakening than you." Ah Man looked down at Ah Da, the pride in his blood made him unable to bear the black crows. question.

When other races are struggling to survive, their harpies can reproduce themselves without looking for a partner. They retain the most powerful beast-like and human-like wisdom. For thousands of years, how many races have lived in the North Sea? Falling and dying, how many races died one by one on the way to find Nanlu, only the harpies survived intact.

Ah Man Ni looked at him. If he remembered correctly, the entire race of the Black Crow Clan was just a mixed race.

Ah Man glanced at Ah Fat next to him, and swallowed the words that wanted to mock Ah Da for being a mixed race.

Song Wen was afraid that the two would fight, so he hurried forward to smooth things over, but Yi took out a few pieces of dried rattan melon and gave a small piece to Fatty. It doesn't look like it's a fight at all.

"I'm just telling the truth." Ah Da muttered aggrievedly, and began to bully the Black Crow Clan, the Harpies and the like at the slightest disagreement, which was really too annoying.

"How did you come to the conclusion that you need to maintain a human form for a certain period of time?" Song Wen quickly changed the subject, lest Ah Da say anything that would make Ah Man angry, but Song Wen found out that there was an extra member of the Black Crow Clan Afterwards, Ah Man's temperament obviously became stronger. When Yu Shiba was there before, he was obviously quite kind.

It seems that if there is a rift between the two races, it is not as simple as saying it verbally.Song Wen sighed secretly, and simply sat between the two of them, separating them so that it was not easy to really make a move.

"Of course our elders said it." Ah Da answered as a matter of course.

However, Song Wen didn't know the elders of his parents, so he could only ask carefully, and only then did he understand the whole story.

In fact, this disadvantage was faintly revealed in Beihai. Because of being able to transform into a human form with the same appearance, there was a period of time when the phenomenon of marriage between various races was very chaotic. It seemed that they could not keep up without finding a partner from a foreign race. The rhythm of the times is the same.

Moreover, the orcs are not reproductively isolated like ordinary wild beasts and birds. Even if they are with foreigners, they can still lay eggs. As long as they can breed offspring, it doesn't matter who they are with.

However, when a new batch of bird eggs broke their shells, those orcs were completely dumbfounded. The newborn did not only completely inherit the appearance of either of the parents, but instead mixed the shapes of the two and became a new kind. In terms of appearance, if a race like a liger finds a bird-like orc, the newborn might inherit the wings of a bird and become a race that can fly in the sky.

For the orcs who can only live on land, how tempting is it to be able to fly into the sky?Almost every terrestrial orc species at the time was looking for a winged mate.

But the consequence of this is that there are fewer and fewer purebloods, and it is even rare to see their animal form when they first awakened.

Of course, if it continues like this, it won't turn into a weird shape when it turns into a human form anyway, and the combat effectiveness of the beast form will not be weakened because of this, and there is nothing bad about it, and many people don't really care about it. Such a result.

However, mixed races have a fatal shortcoming. Their lifespan is short and childbirth is difficult. The cubs suffer from serious and minor illnesses from the moment they break their shells, and they are not able to go hunting until they are fully grown. Cubs are three or four years old.

Don't look at the fact that this upbringing time seems to be very short compared to normal human beings, this is an extremely primitive world, and even races can't do things like preserving fire, especially when there is a lack of clothing and food in winter, even adults They may not be able to fill their stomachs, let alone cubs with weaker resistance?

This undoubtedly increases the cost of raising parents, and even in order to fill their stomachs, some people have to venture into the more dangerous dense forests to find food. There are quite a few people lost in the dense forests every year. Don't look at the orcs in the southern land now. The number of species seems to be many, but in fact the number of clansmen among the various races is only a handful.

Even the Crow Clan and the Harpy Clan, which are recognized to have a large number of people, do not have more than 200 people.

This is also the reason why their ethnic groups are relatively united, the clansmen are as close as a family, and they also like to live together.

If there are other ethnic groups, it is better to have ten or twenty people, even if one or two people form a clan, there are many. Thanks to the fact that there is no reproductive isolation between the orc races, otherwise the clan can be exterminated directly.

And how big is the Southland?

It will take them almost a month to go from the sea to the Harpy's territory alone, and there is a wider area going deeper from the Harpy's territory, and there are dangerous dense forests and mountains inside. This small number is not an advantage in the South Continent.

Sometimes just an ordinary beast attack can kill the orcs.

Song Wen sighed in his heart while listening, and couldn't help but wrinkled his brows. He originally thought that they would live a better life by going to the Southern Land, but now it seems that this is really the case?

Speaking of which, not long after Yi broke its shell, he was able to hunt and kill giant petrels in human form when his animal form was still a cub. Could it be that Yi is the pure blood they said?

Song Wen looked sideways at Yi, and Yi thought that Song Wen also wanted to eat snacks, so he handed a piece of soft and sticky dried rattan melon in front of him, Song Wen opened his mouth naturally, and the dried rattan melon went into his mouth.

"Do you still want to go to Beihai? If you stay with us and help us with things, we can provide you with food." Although we only knew each other for less than a day, Ada expressed what he knew without reservation. Dumping it to them, Song Wen didn't want to watch Ada go to Beihai to die.

"You give me food? But I can't hunt anymore." Ada's eyes flicked across the dried sweet potato in Song Wen's mouth, and Wen Yan's hands couldn't help touching the injured foot.

Without the cover of the animal skin, Song Wen could easily see the scar on the foot. The scar was actually not obvious among the injuries on his body. Song Wen guessed that the injury to the bone would affect the hunting.

"We don't need you to hunt. Your hands are not injured and you can help with things." Song Wen thought for a while, "If you want to hunt, I can also prepare some suitable weapons for you. You can usually catch some small animals that are too big. Don't force yourself to provoke the big prey."

Song Wen knew that these orcs had learned how to hunt since they came out of their shells, and not being able to hunt would mean death, but he didn't know how to heal Ah Da's wounds, so he could only persuade him so that the other party would not go out with a weapon at that time. court death.

Under such conditions, he can't make too high-end weapons, and it's okay to catch small animals. Even he dare not touch large beasts. After all, he is just an emperor penguin with little attack power. He went to the sea to catch fish, but now that he is in the forest, there is no sea for him to catch fish.

Ah Da was a little moved, but also a little hesitant. Obviously he couldn't imagine what these people could do if he stayed with him. In fact, if he stayed in the tribe, the tribe wouldn't leave him alone because he couldn't hunt. It's just that Ah Da He didn't want to be a drag on the clansmen, so he left silently.

"Can I really help you with things?" Ah Da was very worried. For such a big man, he shrank his neck and looked at Song Wen like a little daughter-in-law. caught."

Song Wen smiled gently, and shook his head, "I don't need you to help me hunt, as you have seen, we have no shortage of prey."

They were short of people to do the work, weaving, planting, mixing manure... It wasn't his hands that were injured by Ah Da, and Song Wen could see that the other party had a lot of strength, so he could just teach him how to work.

Harpies don't have hands and can't do too meticulous work, and after seeing Ah Man's appearance, they will go back to their own group. Song Wen and Yi want to live in Nanlu, and they are alone. It was far from enough, and he didn't have the energy to do everything by himself. Now that he was a coolie for nothing, Song Wen naturally enthusiastically persuaded him to stay.

It's better to follow him than to go all the way to Beihai and wait for death, right?Moreover, not everyone can find a way to pass through the waterspout barrier. If Ah Damao rushes in rashly, he might be crushed by the waterspout. In addition, there are not many islands in Shanghai. Where is Ah Da going? Supplies can make him insist on flying to the place of burial?

Even Ah Man didn't know how to catch sea fish. Song Wen didn't believe that the Black Crow Clan who lived in the forest since childhood would naturally learn this skill.

"Why are you so troublesome? Is it better to live than to go to death? We don't provide you with food for nothing. If you want to eat, you have to work." Ah Man choked him impatiently.

"Then... what do you want me to do?" Naturally, he didn't want to die if he was alive. He was not old enough to go to the burial place, but he was still a little nervous after asking.

There are so many things to do. What Song Wen wants to do most now is to use reeds to weave some handy props, but teaching weaving at the beginning is too difficult for Ada who has never touched handwork. Even Yi, who has been helping him all the time, hasn't done a good job until now.

He dug out a bird bone and a rough reef, and handed it to Ada, "Why don't you polish a bone knife for yourself first."

"..."

Now that Ah Da gave up the idea of ​​continuing to go to Beihai, Song Wen went out and told Snake Gui to let him go on.

The snake tortoise poked its head out, looked inside the wooden house, didn't ask any more questions, and continued on its way with the newcomer.

This time they didn't stop to go ashore again, but planned to go directly through the Pingfeng Mountain Range and enter the inland where the orcs really lived.

"Be careful when you arrive at Pingfeng Mountain. There is a kind of flying ape living here. They like to catch birds that pass by in the air." Before going to Pingfeng Mountain, Ah Da told Song Wen in advance.

Aman, the flying ape in the Pingfeng Mountain Range, naturally knew about it, but he didn't know if those flying apes were afraid of the ice flamingo. When he passed here before, he only heard a few ape cries, but he was not attacked.

Before entering the range of the Pingfeng Mountain Range, Song Wen saw the thick fog, which enveloped the surrounding forest, and could only see the shadowy shadows of the trees. If there were apes walking among the trees, it would appear In the past, it was like flying.

Song Wen thought about it, and decided to take a few people to make some preparations before entering the Pingfeng Mountain Range.

"Are you a wild species?"

The size of the wooden house is actually not big. After Ada decided to stay, it was a bit difficult to live in. Song Wen had to move a few wooden boxes outside to make room for Ada to lay an extra hay mat on his back at night. Come down to sleep.

"Oh." Ah Hen probably knew that Ah Da was questioning it, so he raised his neck and responded.

"It's Ahen." Fatty next to him took the words.

Ah Da nodded, and asked again: "Can you understand what I said, will you awaken the transformation?"

Fatty also raised his head and looked at Ah Hen when he heard the words, his eyes were full of anticipation, if Ah Hen could transform into form, then he could talk to him.

Seeing the cub looking at him, Ah Hen also looked at him from the side, his long beak slightly opened, "Oh oh."

Ada couldn't get the answer, so he turned his head and asked Song Wen. After all, he had never seen a person with a wild animal. He couldn't transform into a shape, and it wasn't a wild species that would awaken. It's just food.

Song Wen smiled and looked at Ah Hen, "It's my clan."

It was also an emperor penguin whose shell broke at the same time. Although I don't know if it was a wrong decision to bring Ahen to the South China Sea, Ahen is also a very special existence to Song Wen.

Ah Da understood, and looked at Song Wen with some sympathy.

Song Wenzheng and Yi were discussing how to deal with the flying apes on Pingfeng Mountain. He didn't deliberately lower his voice. Ada, who was originally chatting with the emperor penguin, also leaned over to listen with interest. The flying apes were in the hands of the flying apes, but in the mouth of Song Wen, these flying apes turned into ordinary beasts with low attack power.

The snake tortoise can swim directly in the turtle shell, and Song Wen was also worried that those flying apes would hurt it, so after greeting the snake tortoise, he let it stay in the turtle shell.

The surrounding fog was heavy, and Ah Man couldn't observe anything from the air, so he didn't go out, and everyone stayed in the room to prepare what Song Wen wanted.

Ah Da was guided by Song Wen to make bone knives. At first, he didn't know what the bone knives were used for, until he watched Song Wen use the bone knives to process prey and cut meat. These bones are polished and sharp.

Although two bird bones were wasted at the beginning, Ah Da quickly mastered the method. He has great strength and can polish it much faster. Of course, the shape is naturally not as beautiful as what Song Wen and the others made. I am very satisfied with the smell.

After Ah Da polished his bone knife, the snake turtle also began to enter the range of the Pingfeng Mountain Range.

The water flow in this section of the river is very turbulent, and they are not going downstream, but upstream, even snakes and turtles will shake a little when walking in such a section of the river.

Ah Da had never lived in such a shaky place, and it didn't take long for him to show signs of seasickness. Fortunately, it was not serious and he didn't feel like vomiting. Song Wen wanted him to lie down by the fire.

"No, I can help." Ah Da shook his head and refused. Song Wen and the others provided him with free food. He didn't help at all except for sharpening the bone knife. He stood by and watched, how could he be willing?Anything to help.

Song Wen couldn't resist him, so he went with him, but asked Fatty to watch him, so that he wouldn't really vomit in the room. There are a lot of things in the room, and it will be troublesome to clean. At least you have to find something to carry around It's better to live.

"Oh——."

A voice that sounded like crying came from a distance, and everyone was thrilled in their hearts. They looked at each other and saw the same meaning in each other's eyes, coming.

This was the first time Song Wen heard the cry of an ape, and it sounded like a baby crying. He opened a window and looked out. They chose to pass through this mountain range during the day, but even the sunlight No light can penetrate the fog completely. From this position, you can barely see the shadows of the trees on the river bank, and you can't see where the cry is coming from.

"噭—噭——."

The cries of apes sounded from the forests on both sides of the bank, and the sound seemed to have surrounded the entire Snake Turtle Island.Song Wen's scalp was numb. They had just entered the Pingfeng Mountain Range. It would take at least a few hours to leave the range of the mountain range completely. Are these flying apes so impatient to attack them?It seems that this winter not only almost starved Ada to death, but also these flying apes, which are famous for their viciousness, are not doing well.

"They've come to the island." Yi's eyesight was better than Song Wen's, and he quickly told Song Wen about the movements of these flying apes.

"So fast?" Not only Song Wen, but also Ah Man and Ah Da who were also watching were surprised.

There was only one window in the wooden house, and other people also poked their heads over to see what was going on outside.

Snake Turtle Island still has solid ice and snow transported all the way from the North Sea. The current temperature is not enough to melt the ice and snow. The saplings planted before are almost destroyed in the extreme cold. The whole island looks like There was only a vast expanse of whiteness, and only the wooden house was lit day and night, and the smoke melted the outer layer of ice and snow. There is a road dug from the door of the wooden house to the shore, which makes the wooden house look very conspicuous on the entire Snake Turtle Island.

Flying apes don't know how to swim, so naturally they can't imagine that the whole island is a huge living thing. After landing, they instinctively follow the most conspicuous places to surround them. There is a smell of food here.

Soon, Song Wen saw the appearance of those flying apes. The flying apes looked a bit like monkeys, but they were very fat, about half a meter tall, with gray hair all over their bodies, and their mouths were slightly pouted. The sharp and sharp big yellow teeth are exposed inside, and there is a thin layer of film on the hands and waist, which looks a bit like wings. When they jump up, they open their arms and slide forward for a certain distance along the direction of the wind. No wonder these flying The ape was able to jump from the shore to the Snake Turtle Island.

"It's ugly." Yi commented with disgust on his face.

Compared to the size of the flying apes, the wooden house is already a giant. They are very cautious and dare not approach rashly. Instead, they stand not far away, dig some ice and snow and throw it towards the wooden house.

After the ice and snow fell on the wooden house and made a loud noise, all the flying apes opened their fangs and screamed in unison.

"噭—噭——."

Song Wen: "..."

It's just that the voice is too crying, except for a little penetration, it doesn't have much momentum.

Seeing that there was no response from the wooden house, a few flying apes couldn't bear it and stepped forward. They stopped after walking a few steps, smashed a snowball at the wooden house with their hands, and continued to move forward when they found that the wooden house was still unresponsive. .

Song Wen didn't expect these flying apes to be so cautious, and he was a little worried whether the trap he set would arouse the other party's interest.

"Oh."

A flying ape was the first to discover a few pieces of minced bird meat. It screamed and sniffed it with its nose. Although the taste was a bit strange, it was impossible to recognize the strong meaty smell.

The Flying Ape didn't care about the wooden house anymore, he rushed over and hugged the pile of minced meat into his arms, if its mouth wasn't big enough, Song Wen believed that the other party would stuff it all into his mouth.

"Oh."

When the other flying apes saw their companions suddenly start eating meat, they all rushed over with a scream. The flying ape who found the minced meat first was kicked to the ground by his companions, and immediately raised his hand to hit the surrounding flying apes. Soon, this group of flying apes fought together because of a small pile of minced meat.

Song Wen even saw that several flying apes were covered with paint, and bright red blood fell on the white snow, which was very obvious.Looking at it, it is estimated that these flying apes can directly kill their companions without their actions.

Song Wen looked back at the people in the room, Ada looked at Song Wen with bright eyes, in order not to attract the attention of the group of flying apes outside, he deliberately lowered his voice, and praised excitedly: "Song Song, you are too powerful How did you know these flying apes would fight over meat?"

After saying that, I felt a little distressed, they didn't just put a bunch of meat outside, it was quite a few birds, enough for Ah Da to eat for several days, but now these flying apes were cheap for nothing.

"...I didn't know they would fight for the meat first." Song Wen retorted helplessly.

He did not put the meat outside to make these flying apes fight among themselves, but to let these flying apes eat the meat.

The crushed drunken flower petals are mixed in these minced meat. The drunken flower can directly fascinate the dolphins, and it should be more than enough to deal with these flying apes.

Even if these flying apes can't be fascinated, there is a row of lasso traps around the wooden house, as long as the flying apes dare to step in, they will be caught directly.

If not, there is a row of deep pits with sharpened logs buried underneath.There are also wooden spears in the house, and the accuracy of the wings has been practiced since the time when seabirds were lassoed with flying stones. As long as the flying ape dares to step on the trap, there will be spears and arrows waiting behind. with it.

These are the only tools they can produce at present, unless it is absolutely necessary, Song Wen does not want to directly confront Fei Yuan, after all, close-range hand-to-hand combat is the most likely to be injured.

It's just that Song Wen never expected that a small pile of minced meat would almost wipe out the group of flying apes. How do these flying apes usually distribute food?It is not easy to grow to this size.
