Ye Xiaochuan and his party of four continued on their way on two prison oxen. Last night, Ye Xiaochuan was worried about how to get these three large prison oxen across the ice-free river. Now that he thinks about it, it is superfluous. The chief of Balashan said that it is only a short distance away. But dozens of miles to the west, there are two mountains next to each other, the river is very narrow, and there is a big tree in the middle.
bridge.
When we set off in the morning, the little prison cow didn't need Ye Xiaochuan's guidance at all. It led the way and ran all the way to the west. Not long after walking, we saw from a distance that the mountains in front of us began to rise and fall. The channel of the Unfrozen River runs between two mountains. The river here is very narrow. Where we camped last night, the river surface was at least a thousand feet wide. When we reached the boundary between the two mountains and the river, the river surface was only a hundred feet wide.
It is wide, so the water flow here is very fast, comparable to the famous Tiger Leaping Stream in the Yangtze River in Bashu.
Ye Xiaochuan and others were a little skeptical at first, not believing what the chief of the Bala Mountain tribe said. This was not Middle-earth. They were all foreign savages. How could they build a bridge?
After arriving, I realized that my suspicion was justified. This was not a wooden bridge, it was just wooden piles.
A huge log that was a hundred feet long was placed in the middle of two mountains, with the rolling river rushing underneath. Standing on the south side of the wooden bridge, Ye Xiaochuan had the urge to carry the big log home and put it away. Impulsive, good guy, this turned out to be a piece of golden nanmu that is more than a hundred feet long and more than two feet thick. Ye Xiaochuan didn't know this precious wood before. He worked as a guard of a merchant ship on the Yangtze River ten years ago.
Dart, he later dragged a piece of golden nanmu out of the river and sold it to Yang Jiujiu's rich father, so he was familiar with this kind of wood.
Different from the golden nanmu that is a specialty of Bashu, the nanmu in front of you is really huge. It is estimated that it will be easy to make thirty or forty coffins. If this wood is transported to the middle-earth, it will be less than 100,000 miles away. Ye Xiaochuan can Cut off his own head.
"What a waste! What a waste!"
Ye Xiaochuan thumped his chest, thinking that the priceless wood was actually used by these beasts and beasts as a wooden bridge to cross the river. This was simply unforgivable.
The Qiankun bag can't hold such a big thing. Ye Xiaochuan even tested it with his own hands. It was too heavy. Ten years ago, he carried the several-kilogram nanmu tree with flying speed. Now that he has made rapid progress, he can't carry the one in front of him. Solid large nanmu.
He invited Yun Qiyou and others to help him, and planned to steal the root back to China and sell it, and everyone would add to it one by one and divide the stolen money equally.
As a result, he was met by Yun Qiyou, Qin Fan really rolled his eyes and ignored him, and even Wanyan Wutei looked at Ye Xiaochuan as if he were looking at a monster.
Ye Xiaochuan was really helpless. He originally planned to saw off the big nanmu and put a piece of it into the Qiankun bag, but now his plan to make a fortune has come to nothing.
The nanmu is very thick, two feet in diameter. Over the years, wild animals have been crossing the river back and forth on it. A section of the large round wood has been turned into a flat semicircle. Let alone walking on it, it is said that it is It's not a problem for ten horses to race abreast on it.
It was obviously not the first time that the prison cow walked on this single-plank bridge. He walked forward leisurely. From time to time, he could see wild beasts coming from the opposite side. These beasts did not seem to see the huge prison cow. When they passed by the prison cow, they were just walking on their legs. Generally, turn a blind eye.
When a big white bear that stood nearly one foot tall came towards me, Wan Yanwu Tears couldn't sit still. This was a pure white bear. Not to mention anything else, just the snow-white bear skin was enough to make the opponent laugh. Fur has a perverted and fanatical woman's craziness. The temperature here is getting colder and the wind is getting sharper. Everyone is wearing very bulky clothes. Compared with the big cloaks on Yun Qiyou and Qin Fanzhen, Wan Yanwu Lei feels like she is wrapped in a coat. The black bear mattress was so ugly that even the brat in the tiger fur coat seemed to be better than me.
wind.
How can this be done? She has to kill the white bear and skin it. She asked Ye Xiaochuan to kill the bear and skin it. Ye Xiaochuan looked at the tall white bear and shook his head. He also looked at the big white bear passing by.
The skin of the white bear is very interesting, but this white bear is obviously not an ordinary beast. It should be a beast monster that has lived for hundreds or thousands of years. It is better to do less killings.
Seeing that Ye Xiaochuan refused her request, Wanyan Wu Lei was very angry. When she was about to take action, the big white bear suddenly fell off the single-plank bridge and fell into the rolling ice-free river below. She thought it was drowning.
It died, and a moment later, its big white head appeared,
There was also a big fat fish in his mouth.
The whole face is tearless and majestic. Even after crossing the single-plank bridge, you have truly entered the northern part of the Black Forest. It is strange to say that there is not much snow on the ground on the south bank, but once you cross the Unfrozen River, the snow on the ground is actually thick.
Four or five feet tall, it is estimated that if the short beauty Du Chun steps on it, the snow will cover her beautiful head.
Door. Even though the prisoner cow is tall, the speed of the prisoner cow is still a little bit slower in the thick snow. The reason for the slowdown is not only the snow. When we are on the south bank, the prisoner cow has been along the bank of the glacier.
Going north, the glacier has merged into the Unfrozen River, and there is no smooth path.
On the banks of the glacier, the cows cannot run at all.
Originally, Ye Xiaochuan planned to walk five hundred miles a day, and he could cross the black forest and enter the Arctic Icefield in about twenty days. Now it seems that three hundred miles a day is quite good. At this breaking speed, he can't even think of leaving this ghost in less than a month.
place. Now he is already considering whether to give up the prison cattle.
There is a very strange phenomenon in the Black Forest now. Many alien races on the south bank of the Bu Dong River are migrating to the north bank, such as the stone people we met yesterday.
However, there are still many wild beasts and beast monsters heading to the south bank. The further north you go, the shorter the daylight hours are. In the area of the Ancient Sacred Tree, there are at least four hours of daylight hours in winter. When you get here, the days are shorter again.
.The thick snow has deprived the wild beasts of the north coast of food. Some animals that have no way to hibernate can only go to the relatively warm environment.
Looking for food on the south bank. The big white bear from before is a typical representative. It is probably a second-rate and lazy among white bears. It did not reserve enough nutrients to hide in the bear's paws before the storm came. Now it does not hibernate in the cold weather.
You have to go down the river to catch fish to eat. This is the consequence of not working hard.
On the south bank, you can see small animals and wild beasts everywhere in the ice caves near the unfrozen river. When we got here, we walked for most of the day and didn't see a few wild beasts walking around. The few animals we saw occasionally were just dragging their families.
The ones with mouths migrate to the difficult area. There are not many wild beasts, but they are more dangerous. Beast monsters that have lived for hundreds or thousands of years are everywhere, and their number is estimated to be no less than those in the Hundred Thousand Mountains of Southern Xinjiang.
