My Magic Age

After Catalina finished her story, a ray of light appeared on the eastern horizon. It used the pen in her hand to divide the dawn and the night into two. The stars in the night sky gradually disappeared in the clouds, and the dark blue night slowly became as blue as the sea. As we looked out with the morning breeze, the field of vision was full of tender green, like a beautiful fairy tale world. I have never been so close to nature. When my five senses continued to extend outward, looking at the tender green grass in the fields, smelling the fragrance of nameless wild flowers in the grass, listening to the croaking of frogs that had just broken through the ground, the spring breeze gently passed through my fingertips, making me feel itchy. I seemed to be able to feel the moist breath of the wilderness when I stretched out my tongue. Ah! There must be a lake not far away, otherwise how could there be such a green scenery, such a beautiful frog croaking, and such a moist breeze?

Kuz stood on the back of the Yagui beast excitedly, pointing to the Urutu River in the distance that was winding like a jade belt across the wasteland, and said to me excitedly: "Jia, this is the Urutu River I told you about. This river passes through the entire Beilu wasteland, through the Yelian Mountains and flows all the way to my home, the Guluding tribe. This is my mother river. It will continue to flow westward to the Baipu Cliff at the westernmost end of the Pai Plateau, forming hundreds of waterfalls directly on the cliff, rushing straight down the plateau and merging into the Benma River at the foot of the mountain. Do you know, If there is a strong enough boat that can withstand the impact of hundreds of waterfalls and rush down the river into the Benma River under the plateau, it is almost the shortest way from the Pai Plateau to the city of Sloyte. Haha! "

The uneasiness and haze in our hearts for many days were finally completely diluted by this river. This is the first place we planned to arrive. As long as we keep walking west along this clear water river, we will never get lost in the wilderness. In the days since we entered the wilderness, we have been relying on Qi Ge to perform water gathering to have enough drinking water. I don’t know how other hunters living in the wilderness survived, but there is really a lack of water in the wilderness. If there is no food, you may be able to dig tree holes in the wilderness to eat grass seeds and roots, but you can’t live without water for a day.

In the wilderness, there are several fixed large lakes and several inland rivers. In the spring, after the ice and snow melted, many dry inland rivers were filled with water, but only the Urutu River was a river that flowed out of the northern foothills wilderness. Many hunting beastmen walked in the wilderness all year round. Everyone had a strange map in their hearts. On this map in their hearts, there were countless places to camp, and these places were undoubtedly very close to the water source.

Our Yagui beast drank enough water on the shallow stone beach by the river, and began to eat the green grass growing along the banks of the river impatiently. We unloaded the big bag of luggage from the back of the Yagui beast. The four of us were so tired that we sat on the bag and looked at the river surface dozens of meters wide in front of us. The river was not turbulent but very deep. The middle of the river was even dark black, indicating that this clear river was at least ten meters deep in the center. This is the first natural moat we set for ourselves, the Urutu River!

After taking the sheepskin airbags out of the luggage, Kuz and I started to inflate them. These airbags were bought at the market in Yemen Town. When we bought them, we checked them one by one. The skinners made them perfectly. The whole sheepskin only had small wounds on the limbs and the head and tail, but they were all carefully sewn and painted several times afterwards. The whole sheepskin only had a small opening at the tail, which was used for blowing air. After it was fully inflated, the inflation port was plugged with a wooden plug, and then tied with a hemp rope, and the sheepskin airbags were filled with air one by one.

Qi Ge and Katerina tied these airbags side by side on the wooden poles according to Kuz's instructions, just like fat sheep without wool tied to a wooden rack. In fact, making a large sheepskin raft does not require very long and thick wood. The orcs in the tribe figured out a way to cross the river on the grassland a long time ago. The rafts made by the orcs in the wilderness are very special. They are made of twenty sheepskin air bags and a bundle of short wood that is strong enough. These short woods are usually used to support tents, but they are used by the orcs to make rafts, and they can also make the rafts five or six meters long and three or four meters wide, enough to carry a sub-return beast across the river.

In the wilderness, large wood can only be found near the mountains, and the entire area of ​​the northern foothills wilderness is divided into two by the Urutu River, which is formed by the melting snow from the snow-capped mountains. The melted snow from the glaciers on the top of the snow-capped mountains is icy cold. Even good swimmers like Kuz and I who are not afraid of cold dare not stay in the river for too long. For the Urutu River, which is nearly 70 to 80 meters wide, it is difficult to cross the river without a good crossing tool.

We didn't even have time to eat breakfast. Before the sun dried the water drops on the alfalfa leaves in the pasture, we spent half a day to build a raft that was just big enough to carry the Yagui beast. Qi Ge looked at the large raft and exclaimed, "I never thought that a raft could be made like this. Kuz, are you sure that the raft won't flip over if our Yagui beast sits on it?"

Kurtz and I tried our best to push the raft into the water. The two of us stood in the cold and biting river water and tried to hold on to the raft. However, such a huge raft was bouncing on the water and I couldn't stand firm. Catalina saw that my short body could not hold the raft steady, so she jumped into the cold river water without hesitation, lifted me onto the raft, and she took my place. The river water covered her round and slender thighs wrapped in leather armor, and her face turned pale in an instant from the cold. I couldn't bear to let her stand in the ice water and wanted to ask her to climb up. After all, I have the fire poison of the Burning Fruit in my body. Even if I really jump into the ice water, I will only feel cool, but she definitely can't.

"Katrina, come up quickly, the river is too cold and will freeze you to death!" I lay on the raft and leaned over to grab her hand, which was blue with cold, but I was stopped by the pleading look in her eyes. , I seemed to be eager to prove the value of her existence to her! Or maybe she feels a little guilty for not participating in the battle. I think she is a rare good girl. Even in the Green Empire, women have the right not to join the army. There is really nothing to blame. Seeing that I did not continue to object, she stood in the cold river and tried her best to smile sweetly at me. I could clearly see her teeth chattering, but her stubborn eyes seemed to say to me: I am willing to do it for you. These things.

I was a little hesitant, but she followed Kurtz and walked deeper.

Seeing that the raft had just stabilized, Kuz hurriedly shouted to me: "Jia, hurry up and catch up with the Agui beast."

If it weren't for it, there would be no need for our raft to be so big. When buying livestock, I originally thought that Kuz would choose a small and young Agui animal to save money. Later, we chose this young and strong one, and he was a little reluctant. Unexpectedly, in Wu On the bank of the Lutu River, I found that if we had bought back another smaller Agui beast, the current situation might be much better. At least I didn't have to work so hard to drive it onto the rickety raft.

I held the reins of the Agui beast, and Qige rode on the neck of the Agui beast like a mighty knight, commanding the Agui beast to walk slowly to the raft, and saw the beast floating in the river. The raft sank suddenly, and most of the sheepskin bladder sank into the river water. I squatted on the raft and carefully watched to see if the raft tied with hemp ropes had fallen apart. But it looked good so far. The method passed down by the orcs to tie the raft was still very reliable. I stood in front of the raft. At the edge, he held a paddle modified from a flying spear in his hand. He tried hard to adjust the direction of the raft, but it was of little use.

Qige sat on Aguimon's back and sighed to me and said, "If I had learned the wind control technique in the academy, I wouldn't be in such trouble now. At least I could save some effort."

Kurtz was wet all over and looked like an agile otter. He held the edge of the raft with both hands and jumped up with a graceful turn of his body. Like a wolfdog that had fallen into the water, it tried its best to shake off the fur on its body, wrapped the thick leather jacket around its body, and lay down at the feet of the Agui beast, breathing heavily. Katarina also climbed onto the raft with Kuz. Qige threw a blanket from Katarina's head, and Katarina wrapped it around her without hesitation. Looking at her wet and embarrassed look, I He yelled at her a little distressedly : "Don't imitate Kurtz. This guy has never been afraid of the cold. You'd better change out of your wet clothes. Getting sick from the ice water dripping from the snow-capped mountains is no joke! This is a wasteland, not Yemen Town is not even a prosperous imperial capital!”

In my original world, girls have always been the object of protection. If you don't collapse in the face of such a predicament, you are considered strong. How can you have the courage to jump into the glacier to hold up a raft for a big animal? . Catalina's face was a little blue from the cold, but she didn't look aggrieved or embarrassed at all when she listened to my scolding. She even blinked at me with her red eyes and ran to the back of the raft, trembling all over to relieve herself. Leather armor buckle. Seeing me standing still, he shyly handed me the blanket and whispered: "When I was a kid, I used to pick up garbage in the small town of Noli Mountain (an open-pit coal mine on the outskirts of the Green Capital). It was also so cold in the winter. I don’t feel cold even if I only wear a tattered dress that I picked up. Don’t underestimate me, my physique is very good, just like my mother!”

I took the blanket without saying a word, and she had already unbuckled the wet leather armor, because this set of leather armor was customized according to Qige's figure. It seems very small. Fortunately, the elasticity of the leather armor is pretty good, so it can barely be worn. But in order to put on this leather armor with pretty good defense, he didn't even wear a regular petticoat inside the leather armor. Once the leather greaves were untied, a large area of ​​purple skin that was frozen from the cold was exposed directly inside. Her thighs were like peeled rice dumplings. Even though I was used to seeing Catalina wandering around in the caravan wearing hot pants, I was still a little blushing at this moment. I quickly wrapped her in a blanket and she looked at me gratefully.

The raft carried us down the river, and the river flowed slowly to the west. In fact, we wanted to paddle to the other side of the river, but now even if the four of us paddled hard with oars made of flying spears, But the raft was still carried into the center of the river by the current. Sometimes we can only get closer to the other shore a little bit.

I think in the current state, if I want to reach the other side, I have to go at least a few kilometers downstream with the current.
