Chapter 1007 North Shore

Ye Xiaochuan and his party of four continued on their way on two convict oxen. Ye Xiaochuan's worry last night about how to get these three large convict oxen across the ice-free river was so unnecessary now that he thought about it. The chief of the Bala Mountain tribe said that only a few dozen miles away 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, I saw from a distance that the mountains in front of me started to undulate. The ice-free river ran through between the two mountains. The river here was very narrow. At the place where we camped last night, the river surface was at least 1,000 feet high. So wide that when we reach the boundary between these two mountains and a river, the river surface is 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 leader of the Bala Mountain tribe said. This was not Middle-earth. They were all barbarians of a foreign race. 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 a hundred feet long was placed in the middle of two mountains, with rolling river water rushing past below. Standing on the south side of the wooden bridge, Ye Xiaochuan had the urge to carry this big piece of wood home and put it away. Oh boy, this turned out to be a golden nanmu that was over a hundred feet long and more than two feet thick. Ye Xiaochuan used to I don’t know this precious wood. I worked as a guard for a merchant ship on the Yangtze River ten years ago.

The escort later dragged a piece of golden nanmu out of the river and sold it to Yang Jiujiu's rich father, so he knew 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, it was unbearable that the priceless wood was used by these beasts and beasts as a wooden bridge to cross the river.

The Qiankun bag cannot 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 this 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, Yun Qiyou and Qin Fanzhen rolled their eyes and ignored him. Even Wanyan Wutei looked at Ye Xiaochuan as if he were 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 crossed 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, and 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 their legs. Generally, turn a blind eye.

When a big white bear that stood nearly one foot tall came towards her, Wan Yanwu Tears couldn't sit still. This was a pure white bear. Not to mention anything else, its snow-white bear skin was enough to make the opponent Fur has a perverted and fanatical woman craziness. The temperature here is getting colder and colder, the wind is getting more and more biting, and everyone is wearing very bulky clothes. Compared with the big cloaks on Yun Qiyou and Qin Fanzhen, Wanyan Wuxie feels that she is too ugly wrapped in a black bear mattress, so Even the brat in the tiger fur coat seems to be better than me

wind.

How can this be done? The white bear must be killed and skinned. She asked Ye Xiaochuan to kill the bear and skin it. Ye Xiaochuan looked at the tall white bear and shook his head. He was also very interested in the skin of the big white bear passing by, but this white bear was obviously not an ordinary beast. Is it a beast monster that has lived for hundreds or thousands of years? It would be better to do less evil.

. 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. He thought he was drowned. , and after a moment, its big white head appeared,

There was also a big fat fish in his mouth.

Perfect and tearless. Even after crossing the single-plank bridge, we 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 we cross the ice-free river, the snow on the ground is as thick as four or five feet. It is estimated that it is not much. The short beauty Du Chun stepped on it, and the snow could cover her beautiful head

Door. Even though the Prisoner Ox was tall, its moving speed was still quite slow in the thick snow. The reason for the slowdown was not just the snow. When they were on the south bank, the prisoner cow had been walking north along the bank of the glacier. The glacier had merged into the unfrozen river, and there was no smooth path.

On the banks of the glacier, the cows couldn't 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 they met yesterday.

However, there are still many wild beasts and monsters heading to the south bank. The further north you go, the shorter the daylight hours are. In the area around the Ancient Sacred Tree, there are at least four hours of daylight hours in winter. 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 have no choice but to go to the relatively warm environment.

Looking for food on the south bank. The big white bear from before is a typical representative. He is probably a second-rate among white bears, a lazy man. He did not reserve enough nutrients to hide in the bear's paws before the storm came. Now, instead of hibernating in the cold weather, he has to go down to the river to catch fish to eat. , this is the consequence of not working hard.

Small animals and wild beasts can be seen everywhere on the south bank of the river in the ice caves near the unfrozen river. When we got here, we walked for a long time and didn’t see a few wild beasts strolling around. The few animals we saw occasionally were just dragging their families. Those with mouths migrate to difficult places. 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.
