Gu Chen climbed down from the bird's back in a "throwing" manner, and then fell to the ground, gasping for air.
In the previous few quarters of an hour, he had personally experienced the powerful strength of the hammerhead bird across the wilderness, but the price he paid was that his entire body felt as if it was being torn apart, and waves of indescribable soreness came from his crotch.
It was refreshing and painful. Gu Chen believed that this experience should be the source of joy for the nightmares.
At this time, I felt a touch on my back.
Perhaps because it was worried about Gu Chen, who was lying motionless, the hammer-headed bird gently poked the rider's back with its strong beak. Perhaps because all the violent emotions had been released in the previous rampage, the hammer-headed bird became more docile than ever before.
Gu Chen turned over with difficulty, stretched out his hand to touch the metallic beak, and vowed again in his heart not to have anything to do with this guy again.
(You must find a replacement vehicle...otherwise you will really risk your life next time...)
The terrifying behavior of the hammer-headed bird when it went berserk was enough to make Gu Chen feel that his life was in danger. After sitting on the ground and panting for a long time, Gu Chen slowly regained his breath, and then he helped the hammer-headed bird stand up again and looked around.
The river that could be regarded as a landmark has long since disappeared. It seems to be the edge of a forest somewhere. In the distance, there is a broad-leaved forest with thin mist floating in it, while nearby, there are clumps of weeds with tapered leaves. Among the weeds
It is dotted with star-like purple flowers, and small herbivorous animals that look like rabbits can be seen hopping around occasionally.
The presence of wild beasts meant that there were few wild monsters nearby, and Gu Chen felt a little relieved.
Perhaps it was a matter of course, but there was no female swordsman around. After all, when the hammer-headed bird went berserk, Feiyan was fighting with the grass monster in the distance. No matter how powerful Feiyan was, he probably couldn't catch up with the flying monster.
Hammerhead bird, right? In fact, the violent bumps on the bird's back made Gu Chen lose his sense of direction. No matter how much he played with the Ruisi sandbox, he couldn't tell where he was.
I don’t know when Feiyan will come for me, or where I am.
In other words, Gu Chen is now trapped in a state of being lost alone in the outer world.
(Hey, this is not good, isn’t it?)
Confirming this, cold sweat immediately broke out on Gu Chen's forehead. If he were a pioneer, he might have been lost for several days in an outer land where wild monsters were active, but Gu Chen couldn't expect his weak force to do anything. Encountering a desert
The only thing the blame can do is step down and bow.
The only thing you can count on at this moment is probably the stupid bird next to you, shaking his head.
After all, the reason why the hammerhead bird is loved by pioneers is precisely because of its boldness and savagery. To untie the bell, someone needs to tie the bell. It was the hammerhead bird that caused Gu Chen to be alone and lost, and it was the hammerhead bird that could help him get out of the predicament.
There were only hammer-headed birds. This fact made Gu Chen quite dumbfounded.
(Damn, it feels like being on a pirate ship.)
Depressed Gu Chen walked over and took up the cage rope of the hammerhead bird.
Looking up at this majestic land-based raptor that was over two and a half meters tall and weighed three hundred kilograms, Gu Chen's mind inexplicably pictured the appearance of the three fools on a certain sled. Although the two were completely different in terms of biological race,
But in essence, they are two to incomparable existences. For Gu Chen, who is accustomed to thinking carefully before making a decision, he really does not want to entrust his wealth and life to this stupid character who only depends on probability.
While Gu Chen was cursing in his heart, the hammerhead bird next to him suddenly made a bright and high-pitched call and looked warily at a corner of the woodland.
Is there a strange thing? Gu Chen was startled and tightened his grip on the hiking pole.
Under the attention of one person and one bird, the sound of rustling footsteps was first heard in the forest, and then the bushes were roughly pulled apart.
Walking out of the bushes was a red-haired woman holding a hunting bow. The woman wore light leather armor to facilitate movement, and her wrists and ankles were tightly wrapped with white cloth. Her skin was slightly darker due to constant exposure to the sun.
, her physique or muscles are not inferior to those of men. In fact, if it weren't for the high arc on the breastplate, Gu Chen would have almost regarded her as a man.
In addition, Gu Chen also noticed that there were text marks stained with ink on the woman's cheeks, thighs and arms. If I remember correctly, most of the southern barbarian tribes who came to Liyang had similar ink marks on their bodies. According to White Ape Xiaoyi
Different tribes have different ink patterns with different meanings, and if they are used indiscriminately, they may cause tribal disputes.
Gu Chen guessed that the woman might be a female hunter from a certain tribe of the Southern Barbarians, but it was heard that the hunters of the Southern Barbarians usually only hunted around the tribe, and it was quite rare for them to come to the outskirts of Liyang City for activities.
"Who are you!?"
"Whoa! Don't do it, I'm not a bad person!"
When Gu Chen was thinking wildly, the female hunter over there seemed to be stunned because there was someone outside the forest. She instinctively cocked an arrow and pointed it at the stranger. Gu Chen was startled when he was pointed at and waved his hands repeatedly. The female hunter frowned and looked at her several times.
, probably judging that it was not a big threat and lowered the hunting bow.
The female hunter then whistled into the forest, and a moment later, two more figures walked out of the bushes.
The two people who came out were both men. One of them was a tall man wearing full body armor and a beard, while the other was a short man with a spear and a scar on his forehead. Judging from his height, the latter was probably only
to half of the former.
"Huh? Is there anyone else?"
When he saw Gu Chen outside the forest, the man in full armor showed a look of surprise, while Gu Chen's attention fell more on the dwarf holding a gun next to him. He saw that the dwarf's right foot was tightly wrapped with several circles of bandages.
There was blood stains on the bandage. The injured dwarf was limping out, using the spear as a crutch.
Noticing the strange look from Gu Chen, the short-tempered little man immediately raised his eyebrows.
"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a little human race!?"
……………………
At the west gate of Liyang City, the old business building with warehouses and courtyards on the side slopes was previously reclaimed by the government due to the collapse of the trading company. It had been abandoned for several years without anyone caring about it. However, it has recently been occupied by a shopkeeper.
And attracted quite a lot of attention.
However, although it has attracted attention, it is actually only limited to the area around the station. After all, Gu Chen is still only a quasi workshop master. Although he has established the goal of establishing a workshop group, he has not carried out any business activities so far. It is similar to "idle"
For most residents of Liyang City, such innocuous news as "the old business building has a new owner" is probably just a joke that they have heard and dismissed.
The residents of Liyang didn't care about the old merchant house, especially when the merchant owner was out for some reason, and no one would want to visit. Therefore, the pot monster who was ordered to stay behind was given a considerable degree of freedom of movement.
Of course, with the cowardly temperament of the Pot Monster, he would not dare to step out of the store for a walk, but the two floors of the store alone are enough for him to toss around. He jumps from the second floor to the first floor, from the living room to the kitchen,
Compared to the days when he could only lie in the corner of the warehouse and pretend to be dead, the current life is a paradise for the pot monster.
Although the owner is somewhat bored without the owner, the toys the owner gave it before have become a new pastime.
