After traveling for a period of time, it was already autumn when we arrived in the eastern part of the mainland again. However, this time we took a different route from the one we came down from the Holy Snow Mountains. This route became increasingly sparsely populated. At first, we took a different route.
You can still see some villages, and after passing through the Country of Fish, you can easily see areas where humans gather again.
On the airship, Du Jinna looked through the albums collected by her ancestors: "Further north in the Kingdom of Fish, there is no state-like political power. But there are still hunting tribes in the forest. In the Mulu Peninsula and
There is a herder tribe on the Ergou Peninsula, and the herder tribe are humanoid deer similar to humans and horses. They are already at the very edge of human civilization, and it has not yet been determined whether they can be recognized as a member of the larger human group."
Hullington sighed: "The places your ancestors have been are really far away. Have you ever been to a place like this?"
Du Jinna is quite proud: "My family has always had a spirit of adventure and exploration. We have gone south to Xiju Island at the southernmost tip of the subcontinent, where countless migratory birds stop. We have gone north to the Arctic Circle and witnessed continuous
Hundreds of days of extreme daytime wonders. I went east to the Fanshan Sea, where the waves continued all day long, like mountains one after another. I went west to the edge of the Lost Ocean and recorded the sea conditions there." She turned over the map and said:
"But the Ergou Peninsula further north here is the farthest place that my grandparents have ever been to. The only records of what is beyond that are virgin forests without any human habitation. Celeste, the place of watch you mentioned should be
It is in the northern part of the Mulu Peninsula. The local hunting tribes only go as far as this area, so it is called Shouwang Mountain and Shouwang Forest. As for the Fuqingyouland, the Paradise of Gods..." She shook her head, expressing doubts.
.
Bing Zhixie said: "I have a map here. Let's look at it when we get there. We should be at this location now." He drew a few strokes on the map and found that he would be able to enter the western part of the Mulu Peninsula in two or three days.
When the airship flew here, there were suddenly more birds and beasts in the sky. After looking at the dense forest below for a long time, it was dazzling. It felt like they had been flying in the same place. Only the changes in the surrounding birds and beasts allowed them to confirm the location of the area.
Variety.
In fact, they are not quite sure where their position is, because there is no reference object for understanding, and they can only roughly judge based on the previous trajectory. This judgment is definitely biased, but fortunately, the compass on the airship,
The sextant and other necessary tools are all ready and sensitive, so even if there is a deviation, it shouldn't be too far off.
It was past ten o'clock in the morning, and Eva started to cook in the kitchen. Dujinna, Lund and the others were chatting. Because the four of Lund were hunters, they were wondering if they could help them capture a satisfying monster.
As a guard replacement.
The four members of the Rose Knight Mercenary Group, except for Narcissus Gulia, who is introverted, soft-spoken and shy when speaking, Rose Tinu, Song Cuckoo Xinu and Lund are all cheerful and cheerful people, and Du Jinna is a
I have been familiar with them for a long time.
On the contrary, Halls, who was born as a real Orion, seemed out of place. He seldom talked to others and was always alone in a daze, immersed in his own thoughts. In fact, Halls himself was not a taciturn and boring person, at least before Bing Zhixie
This is not how I know him.
Because there were more people on the boat, they chatted in groups at the bar and at the dining table. Especially the two sisters, Tinu and Xinu, as well as Dukina and Alice, they gathered together to talk.
If not finished.
Suddenly, the airship shook twice, and everything inside became quiet.
"Is there a malfunction?" Ruola stretched her neck and listened. Then there was another shock, and then there was the sound of metal objects breaking.
"There was a real malfunction. The sound came from below," Hughington said.
Ilyich, who was in the cab, came out and said: "The pressure gauge is malfunctioning, maybe the air pressure valve is broken. I'll lower the height and check."
"Um."
The Fuxing airship descended to the height of a tree, and the bilge was about fifteen meters above the ground. Hullington and Lund each stepped on a tree branch and checked the bottom of the craft without opening the bilge door.
, several cantaloupe thunder wasps caught their attention.
There was a burst of electric light magic, and the two people jumped down from the tree. A swarm of large and small thunder wasps buzzed around. The flashing electric current on the wasps' tail needles brought a strong stinging and paralysis.
Thousands of Thunder Hornets flew down, intending to attack the two people who disturbed them. But at the same time, they alarmed a large flock of birds in the woods, and the birds and Thunder Hornets all over the tree started fighting against each other.
Generally speaking, thunder bees or thunder wasps are very afraid of birds in the forest, but these thunder wasps are extremely aggressive and will not retreat in the face of natural enemies. The woods suddenly rained with the corpses of various birds and thunder wasps.
.On the ground, Hullington and the others escaped unharmed.
Everyone covered their heads and looked up, watching a great battle in nature. In the end, the birds in the forest won the war. The dead and injured thunder wasps were twitching the last electric current before death. Their heads were missing, and corpses with broken wings and tails were everywhere.
They were all. Some big birds had already begun to enjoy the delicious meal. However, the people on the airship were able to benefit from it and picked up many rare birds for food.
Xi Nu sighed softly: "The thunder hornets here are so brave, they are not even afraid of natural enemies."
"But why are there so many giant bees under the bottom of our airship? When did they make a nest in it?" Du Jinna pulled out the long sword inserted in her boot and cut off the huge honeycomb nest in the bottom.
, took a look at the situation inside: "The pipes are broken, and there are several places where the current has broken down. Several cabin frames have broken here. It should be caused by metal fatigue caused by overheating of the current." She had done mechanical maintenance before.
To subsidize living expenses.
"Can it be repaired? Sister Dukina." Eva was still wearing a cooking outfit and holding a spoon in her hand.
Du Jinna glanced down and said with a smile: "This is a small problem, but we need some materials and parts. There should be spare parts on the boat."
However, no, there were some spare parts on the boat, but most of them were parts for various instrument panels and mechanical hubs. In order to save space and weight, and to prepare more food and water, some things were omitted.
Du Jinna shook her wavy hair and said, "This is easy to handle." She raised her chin and said, "Just let him refine some metal materials and make a few pipes."
Seeing her looking at him, Alchemy Hullington suddenly became unhappy: "Hey, hey, Dujinna, who do you think I am? My alchemy is not to create some pipeline for you. My alchemy is to create the world.
The best materials make the most powerful weapons and armor, how can you treat me as a repairman! What I want to repair is to repair weapons and equipment worthy of my hands, not to repair pipes!"
