Crossing to Live in the Wilderness Plains

Early the next morning, after the sun came out, the weather became hot again. If it weren't for the stagnant water deposited in the grass that could not flow away, no one would have seen that there was a heavy rain here yesterday.

Everyone checked their luggage, because a lot of things were cleaned out to dry last night, and the animal skin backpacks had to be dried before they could be used. After catching a few more fish, we settled for breakfast and lunch before we set off.

Ayan has returned to normal, and Chen Qi didn't bother to explain to him again when he saw that his expression was the same as usual. Who asked him to come and test himself, maybe the other party misunderstood and could solve a lot of trouble.

The straw hats used to be used casually to cover the sun, but they all fell apart after being soaked in the rain yesterday. Now Chen Qi has made two more hats and brought them to Aze before setting off.

After walking through the unaffected grass for a few hundred meters in front, the surrounding weeds began to show signs of being burned. It is estimated that it was quickly doused by the rain. Only some leaves were smoked and blackened. The worse the situation is, until there are no green plants to be seen any more, and only bare red-brown soil and charcoal ash can be seen all over the ground, which shows how intense the fire is.

Looking at the scene in front of them, everyone's faces were not very good-looking, and they were a little scared, but also a little fortunate. If they stopped for a while last night, the pile of luggage would undoubtedly be unstoppable.

"Let's go." Ah Xu kicked away a blackened stone beside his feet and walked in front of the crowd first, and the others quickly followed.

On the plain, which was so desolate that even the vegetation could not be seen, there were only a group of orcs carrying animal skin backpacks four or five times their size, burying their heads in the scorching sun, and as the crowd passed by, a long-lasting dust was raised.

This part of the road was almost at sunset before finally walking over. Seeing the familiar green vegetation, the somewhat depressed expressions on the faces of the orcs all faded away a lot.

After the charcoal ash is dried, it will rise up when someone steps on it, and then the wind blows straight to the orcs, and when the orcs find a place to rest, they are almost all black.

Ah Shu pointed at the few dark fingerprints left by Ah Le because he wiped the sweat from his face with his hands, and laughed so hard that Ah Le almost wanted to grab him and fight.

Amin came over and tapped Ashu on the head, and helped Ale unload his luggage, "This place is not far from the river. Go wash it, and by the way, bring some water back."

The two responded and set off with a pottery plate in their arms.

Because I was on a rush, I didn’t bring many cooking tools. There were only two pottery plates and a few pottery bowls. Everything else was replaced by a light bamboo tube. The bamboo tube can also be used as a container for water during the day. Those heavy crockery are so much more convenient.

Because Chen Qi has been burying his head behind A Ze's back to catch up with sleep, and A Ze is blocking him in front of him, he is the cleanest one in the group. He found a set of clean clothes for A Ze and let him go. Washing by the river, he went to the clearing out to help cook and eat. Now there are a group of females bathing by the river, and he is too embarrassed to run over.

"Go and rest, just leave it to us here." Seeing Chen Qi coming over, Ayan was a little nervous.

A Xu, who had just brought the big bamboo tube with water, glanced at him strangely, and handed the bamboo tube to Chen Qi, "There's not much water left here, you can make some tea first, and wait for Ale to pour the water. Come back and cook the food."

Chen Qi took the things and nodded, looking at Ah Xu's dark face, he couldn't help but smile, "You also go to the river to wash."

Compared to Chen Qi, who was fairly clean, Ah Xu's current appearance was light when used to describe it as a mess. A Xu touched his nose a little embarrassed, but a fingerprint was left on the touched place, which looked even more funny.

After handing the bamboo tube to Chen Qi, A Xu said hello to A Yan and went to get a set of clean clothes and went to the river.

Chen Qi put the pottery plate on the fire, and poured the water from the bamboo tubes. Several bamboo tubes had just half of the water in the pottery plate. After the water boiled, Chen Qi put a handful of daisies in it. Soon to stretch out in the water, although the sun is about to go down, but drinking a little daisy tea can also cool down a little.

Seeing the bamboo tube that was completely empty, Ayan hesitated for a while, walked over, pointed to a few diabolo tubes beside her, and asked Chen Qi, "Let me go get some water."

Before Chen Qi could answer, a nimble figure suddenly ran in front of the two of them. Perhaps because he ran too fast, the man was slightly panting, "Uncle Ayan, there is a body of an iron armored dragon over there."

Chen Qi turned his head to look over and found that it was the female son of Yanshan tribe named A Yu. Every time he found a place to rest, A Yan would suggest to investigate the surrounding environment. This was his experience when he was camping in the wild. You can see if there are hidden dangers around, you can also check if there are edible wild fruits around, and now it is added to see if there are any edible wild vegetables.

A Yu was one of the people who went out to investigate this time. Because he saw the water milk fruit, he walked a little further. Unexpectedly, he found an iron armored dragon that had been dead for a long time. There was a bite mark on the neck of the iron armored dragon. Other The place is intact, and it looks like a fatal blow.

In this kind of plain where there is no trace of biological activity, a dragon that has just died appeared here, and it is still known as the iron armored dragon with the first dragon defense, which has to make people think more.

Ayan frowned, her face became solemn, "Are you sure you are seeing an iron armored dragon? Are there any traces of other dragons around?"

A Yu shook his head, "Even if there were other dragons who had stayed around here, the rain yesterday washed away their traces. I only found the body of the Iron Armored Dragon, and I didn't go to the vicinity to investigate. I plan to Come back and talk to you first."

Ayan patted him on the shoulder in praise, "You guard near the camp first, I'll call Axu and the others back and see what to do."

After Ayan finished speaking, she walked to the river, and took the diabolo tubes with her in a hurry.

Chen Qi looked at A Yu, who was still out of breath, and poured him a cup of freshly brewed daisy tea, "You should drink some tea first."

A Yu gratefully took it over and took a sip from the pottery bowl, only to be scalded, so he could only hold the pottery bowl and gently blow the tea inside, while vigilantly paying attention to the surrounding situation.

There are several other females guarding the camp, and there are also warning females on the acacia tree next door. Even if a dragon suddenly attacks, they can climb up the tree immediately.

It didn't take long for Ayan to bring Axu and his party back. Everyone's hair was wet and dripping with water droplets. The camouflage clothes on the shoulders were darker than the rest, obviously because of the water droplets on their hair. wet. The cloth here is not very good at absorbing water. It takes a long time to dry the hair. It seems that the group of people was called back by Ayan before they could dry their hair.

A Ze took a towel and handed it to Chen Qi. The towel had been washed in the river. Even if it was not stained with charcoal ash, the sweat from a day in the hot sun would make people feel sticky, sticky and uncomfortable. , Aze knew that Chen Qi would not go to the river to wash for the time being, so he wet a towel and planned to let the other party wipe his face.

Seeing that Ah Xu and the others wanted to leave after putting down the newly caught fish and the water they brought back, Chen Qi hurriedly asked, "Can I go take a look with you?"

Iron armored dragon, if he remembered correctly, this dragon is covered with a layer of hard iron armor on the back, and since there is an iron word in the name, even if it is not the metal iron he is familiar with, Chen Qi can't help but want to take a look Well, it would be better if the other party had something related to iron.

Ah Xu looked back at him, then looked at A Ze who was standing beside him, nodded, and said to A Ze, "You protect him." Then he stopped talking and led the crowd away.

After walking for about ten minutes, several people arrived at their destination.

The Iron Armored Dragon collapsed in a clump of white grass, and its tall body overwhelmed a piece of white grass, and because of the strong wind brought by yesterday's rainstorm, a large piece of white grass outside was also blown down, which made A Yu discover it, or else According to the usual growth of Imperatae, if you don't walk in, you can't see anything here.

Iron armored dragons are black-brown and look a bit like a rhinoceros, but have no horns. The black armor with several layers of cold light on the back is an excellent defensive weapon for them, and ordinary sharp teeth cannot be broken at all.

Ah Xu checked the Iron Armored Dragon, and after confirming that the Iron Armored Dragon was completely dead, he and others scattered around to investigate. Although the Iron Armored Dragon's attack speed was not as fast as that of the Hyena Dragon, it was also a carnivorous dragon, and the beasts did not dare to do so. To the effect, after all, the only native creatures that are still active on the plains are the orcs. Even if the iron armored dragon is not a dragon that must eat orcs, if they are hungry, they will still attack the orcs.

Chen Qi asked Aze to let himself down, walked to the side of the Iron Armored Dragon, and reached out to touch the armor behind the Iron Armored Dragon. He didn't know whether it was because the other party was dead that it felt cold to the touch or because the armor was originally cold.

He took out the sword-horn knife from his pocket, tapped it on the armor plate, "Dang", a crisp and familiar metal crash sounded into Chen Qi's ears.

As if he couldn't believe it, Chen Qi tapped a few more times, "Aze, is the iron armor of the Iron Armored Dragon metal?"

Aze had never seen metal, and shook his head a little dazedly when he heard Chen Qi's question.

At this time, the Axu people who went to explore the surrounding area had already returned. As soon as they came back, they saw Chen Qi and A Ze crouching beside the Iron Armored Dragon and decomposing the corpse.

"What are you doing? You can't eat the meat of the Iron Armored Dragon. I have already caught some fish." Ah Xu stepped forward and asked strangely. The meat of the Iron Armored Dragon is not only sour and uncomfortable to eat, but the hardness of the meat is about to catch up with its iron armor. Without sharp teeth, it can't be chewed. Ah Xu doesn't think that Aze will not know about this. .

Chen Qi tore off the separated iron armor. The iron armor was about half a finger thick and a little heavy. Chen Qi struggled to hold it. Hearing Ah Xu's question, Chen Qi explained, "I don't want to eat it, I want it. armor."

"Iron armor? What do you want this thing for?"

A Ze also tore off the other two pieces of iron armor, which were still stained with flesh, but he didn't mind, and took the piece from Chen Qi's hand and carried it on his shoulder, "Chen Qi said that this thing can be used to make tool."

"Yes, although I don't know if it can be done or not, but I met it anyway, and it might be useful to take it back and see." Chen Qi said with a smile. Even if it is not 100% sure that these pieces of iron armor are metal iron, it may not be of any use after taking a lot of effort to bring them back to the tribe, but this unexpected harvest is still very attractive to Chen Qi, after all, it may be metal something oh.

Axu nodded clearly and didn't ask any more questions. He asked Aze to hand over the things to him and motioned him to carry Chen Qi back. There is a distance from the camp where they rested. a lot of time.

Even if no traces of other dragon activities were found nearby, everyone did not dare to be careless. At night, they did not gather together on the ground for the night like yesterday, but spread out, and a group of several people found a tall tree to rest. .
