The snow in the forest is much thicker than that by the river, and the temperature drops several degrees the further you go.

Ah Man flapped his wings and flew through the air, while Song Wenhe Yi walked in the forest with his feet, collecting some useful plants along the way.Fatty and Emperor Penguin Ahen were left in the cabin by him. After all, he didn't know if there would be wild beasts in the forest. After all, it was not convenient to bring the cubs.

It was only when we got closer that we found that the mountain was steep, and there were faint traces of animal excrement at the foot of the mountain that was not covered by snow.The vegetation here is not full of evergreen plants like the seaside, and some vines clinging to the stones have long since withered and shriveled, and there will be a crisp cracking sound when stepped on.

Looking up to the top of the mountain, the dead branches and fallen leaves on the high place are crumbling by the cold wind, and occasionally there is fine white snow falling down. The thick snow covered it, and the color of the stones below could not be seen.

This is an ordinary stone mountain, and even the surrounding vegetation is not too special. Song Wen was a little disappointed, but he still asked Ah Man to take him to the top of the mountain to have a look.

Today is a fine weather, there are no clouds and mist on the top of the mountain, the snow here is very thick, stepping on it directly did not reach the position of the thighs, and the wind on the mountain was also strong, almost blowing off the animal skin hat on Song Wen's head, Yi didn't follow, if it wasn't for Ah Man's sharp eyesight and hands to block him, Song Wen would probably lose a fur hat during this trip.

He didn't dare to stand too close to the mountain, and only stood where he could see the outside scenery.

The endless forest.

This is the first sight Song Wen saw. If one looks towards the sea, the forest becomes greener. Of course, they are far away from the sea now, and there is no trace of the sea anymore. .

If you turn around and look in the direction they are heading, the color of the forest becomes complicated, with withered yellow and red accounting for most of it, and there are some bare brown branches mixed in, but what you can see is basically all kinds of forests. There are not many such trees, and even a few short peaks can be seen.

The huge Beihe River hovers in the forest like a giant dragon, and it is the only scene in the Nuoda Forest.

No wonder the orcs of the southern land only mentioned the forests of the southern land. I am afraid that the forest area may account for more than [-]% to [-]% of the mainland.

"Aman, what's that?" On the edge of the forest, a vague mountain line could be seen in the distance, a little far away from their current location. Song Wen couldn't see it clearly, so he asked the local aborigines around him directly.

Ah Man looked in the direction Song Wen was pointing at, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then widened in vain when he saw something in the distance, and his tone was filled with surprise, "That's Pingfeng Mountain, pass through Pingfeng Mountain You can see traces of beastman living there."

"Pingfeng Mountain?"

Ah Man remembered that Song Wen had come to Nanlu for the first time, and he didn't know much about Nanlu, so he told him about Pingfeng Mountain in detail.

Pingfeng Mountain, more precisely Pingfeng Mountain Range, literally means that it shields the cold wind blowing from the North Sea. barrier.

When the orcs first moved to the Southland, the surrounding environment was extremely harsh. No one dared to live by the sea, for fear that the Southland would suddenly sink and rupture like the North Sea. The ferocious beasts prey everywhere.

Later, someone discovered the Pingfeng Mountain Range. The mountain range can block the cold air from the south so that they will not die from cold, it can block the footsteps of fierce beasts so that they will not be preyed upon, and it can block the raging waterspout so that they will not be killed. swept away.

The orcs who moved to the other side of the mountain range finally had time to recuperate. They also warned their descendants not to cross this mountain range and leave the southern land. After all, in their memory, there was still a danger outside this mountain range that they had to deal with. The world that can't be.

Song Wen's heart skipped a beat, "Is there a beast here?"

Fierce beasts are evil beasts that specialize in man-eating and are very powerful.These are the news that Song Wen got, but neither Ah Man nor Snake Gui have ever seen a real evil beast, because people who have seen evil beasts have already become food in each other's stomachs.

Ah Man shook his head, "I don't know, it was winter when I passed through the forest before, and I didn't see any traces of evil beasts."

The ice flamingos also come here in winter. They will spend a year looking for the eggs of the orc species, and when the next winter comes, they will return to their breeding grounds with their trophies.

Song Wen was thoughtful, a gust of cold wind blew by, making him shiver uncontrollably, he touched his nose, and finally looked around the surrounding situation, keeping the terrain he saw in his heart, and greeted Ah Back to the foot of the mountain.

Yi didn't wait for them at the original place. After turning around half a circle, he found that the other party was actually squatting on a large rock scattered on the ground, watching something with great interest, and occasionally stretched out his hand to pinch the air, and then said disgustedly. He threw it down, and then wiped his hands in the snow under his feet. The snow around him was messed up by him.

Song Wen was a little puzzled, looked at Ah Man behind him, and then walked over.

"What are you looking at?"

Yi turned around when he heard the voice, saw that it was Song Wen, quickly stood up and jumped off the big rock, and called Song Wen, "Song Song." Then he stretched out his hand and pointed forward, explaining to the two, "There one person."

"people?"

According to what Ah Man said, there are no orcs living outside the Pingfeng Mountain Range. It is estimated that they are the only people in the entire nearby forest. How could Yi meet people here?

Song Wen looked over, and he didn't see people like them who took human form and wore animal skin clothes to keep warm. Instead, he saw a huge black figure squeezed into a crevice at the foot of the rocky mountain, and there were still people around him. There was a small group of "buzzing" bumble bees circling around behind the figure, Song Wen subconsciously looked in front of the big rock where Yi was squatting just now, and sure enough, he saw the corpses of a few squashed bumble bees .

In such a cold weather, when other beasts are gone, and even the traces of birds are less and less, where did this group of bumble bees come from?

Song Wen couldn't figure it out, and even the native Ah Man was very puzzled, but the harpies didn't come into contact with other orcs very often, and after only one glance, he knew that the other party was not his own tribe, and Ah Man disappeared. interest in helping.

"Get him out first." Knowing that this is a beastman, Song Wen couldn't turn his head away as if he couldn't see it, but the bumblebee was quite big, bigger than his thumb, if it was stung One mouthful, I'm afraid it will swell for several days and won't go away.

They didn't have a tool that could make a fire and get smoke quickly, so Yi turned back into a beast shape in the end. His huge body was slightly vacated, and his big wings flapped towards the crack in the stone. The huge wind rolled the surrounding snowflakes towards that place. A small swarm of bumble bees struck.

Those bumblebees were blown out of focus, some hit the stone wall, and some flew farther to the sides. When the bumblebees reacted, they all turned around and dared to fan the wind Those who attacked them rushed forward.

Yi, with his golden feathers, was the best target. Fortunately, when he decided to deal with those bumble bees, he kept a little distance from Song Wen. Also on Yi's body, there were no bumblebees jumping at Song Wen and the others.

Wings shook, this time he didn't drive these wasps away again, instead he kicked his feet when these wereps were about to come in front of him, and rushed into the nearby woods with this small group of bees.

Song Wen's heart tightened, but thinking of Yi's nimble movements, he knew that such a group of wasps would not be able to catch up with him, so he secretly suppressed his worries, and after making sure that there were no traces of other bees around, Song Wen stepped forward, He looked at the figure whose body was mostly buried in the crevice of the stone.

This scene kind of reminded him of how Ah Man was buried in the ice crevasse back then. If he only looked at the back of this man-beast, Song Wen couldn't tell the difference from the feathers of the harpies. He slowed down and said to the people who were still buried in the crevice of the stone: "Those bumble bees have left, the surroundings are safe, you can come out."

The people inside the stone gap didn't respond, Song Wen thought the other party didn't hear, so he repeated it again.

Ah Man tilted his head to look, then suddenly took a few steps forward, raised his long legs, and kicked the man hard on the back. rise.

"The bumblebee has already left. Which race are you from? Come out." Facing the stranger, Ah Man's tone was not as gentle as Song Wen's, but instead had a sense of command.

Maybe it was because he heard the voice, the man finally moved, but the huge body twisted left and right, but he didn't come out of the crack for a long time, instead there were a few dull humming sounds from inside.

Song Wen looked at Ah Man, and guessed uncertainly: "This is... stuck?"

Ah Man was stunned, probably because he also wanted to go back to the days when he was stuck in an ice crack, his face was a little embarrassed, and his face was still a little hot, he coughed lightly and walked forward, stretching out his paws to pull the other party come out.

Song Wen looked at his claws that could directly scratch the prey's throat, and his eyelids couldn't help jumping. He was afraid that the other party would accidentally grab the man's fur, so he hurried forward and joined hands with Ah Man to grab the man's fur. The man was pulled out.

The man's beast shape was half a meter taller than Song Wen's, and he looked very mighty and majestic. When he was pulled out, the momentum almost overwhelmed Song Wen. Fortunately, Ah Man pushed the man away with his paws. Going to the side, Song Wen avoided the danger of being crushed and injured internally.

crow?

Song Wen, a bird covered in pitch black, first reacted to a crow, but as long as he looked up and saw the whole picture of the human-beast, he denied this answer.

eagle?

That person has pitch-black feathers. Although the fur color is the same as that of the Harpy, from the appearance alone, the feathers are not as thick and shiny as the Harpy's. There are a pair of sharp eagle claws under the feet, and one of the feet is Slightly bent, twisted into a slightly weird posture.Song Wen frowned slightly, was he injured?

Looking at the man's upper body, it's no wonder that Song Wen would guess which eagle clan the man is, because this man has a hooked hook and dark golden eyes, but when looking at the man, the focus is not very focused, and he looks a little confused It seems that the other party really didn't hear me when I spoke to him for the first time. After all, who would have thought that the other party could be trapped in a crack in the stone, and could still fall asleep when there were bumblebees threatening outside.

Song Wen's eyes fell on the other party's hook, which held a piece of golden honeycomb as long as an arm. No wonder he was surrounded by scumblebees, but he didn't expect that the people here knew that the honeycomb was edible .

Even though the orcs in the southern land live in the forest, most of their living habits remain the same as when they were in the North Sea. They mainly hunt and kill prey for food, and rarely eat wild vegetables and fruits. They seem to lack exploration It may also be that some people have eaten poisonous weeds and poisonous fruits before, so they have a little fear of plants. After all, animal meat is not such a danger.

The man glanced at Song Wen first, he couldn't tell the other party's race when he was in human form, but when his eyes moved to Ah Man, he couldn't help but backed up a few steps, and his eyes were a little wary, probably because he was in a hurry , The injured leg lost its strength and almost fell to the ground.

"Don't worry, we won't hurt you." Song Wen quickly comforted her.

The man looked at the two of them suspiciously, and finally remembered that they pulled him out of the crack in the stone, flapped his wings back and forth, and changed back into a human form.

This is a middle-aged man with a strong figure, a head taller than Song Wen. Even in the cold weather, he can only conjure up an animal skin skirt draped around his waist to cover important positions. There are different scars, most of which are scratches or bites, which should be the marks left by hunting or fighting.

The man's face was very thin, with a light stubble on his chin, and vicissitudes in his eyes. He took the honeycomb in his mouth, licked the honey on the corner of his mouth, and then said: "Thank you for helping me get rid of the Scolia."

Probably because he hasn't spoken for a long time, the man's voice is very hoarse, and he can still hear the annoying "buzzing" sound of those bumblebees before falling asleep. If it weren't for the worry that those bumblebees would attack his eyes, he wouldn't Drilling into the crevice of the rock, if he hadn't met these two people, it would probably take him a while to get out after the bumble bee left.

Thinking of it this way, the man sincerely expressed his gratitude even to the harpies who didn't quite get along with his own race.Fortunately, the face of the harpy looked strange, not the harpy who came to snatch his prey.

When prey is scarce in winter, there will always be various frictions between different races.

"Are you from the Black Crow Clan?" Ah Man also looked at the other party carefully and asked speculatively.

The Black Crow Clan is not an overly powerful race. Even their Harpies like to bully them. After all, the Black Crow Clan lives in a territory with more people. Although their strength is not as strong as other races, But the Black Crow Clan is very united, and all the clansmen are like their own family members.

There are too many ants and they can kill elephants. Naturally, no one dares to take the Black Crow Clan seriously. If they offend the Black Crow Clan, they will use all their strength to seek justice. Other races will take the initiative to avoid the Black Crow Clan to avoid trouble, and only the Harpy Clan, which is also extremely united, will run to tease each other from time to time to snatch the other party's prey, relying on their strength.

"Yes, you can call me Ada."

Ah Da is the eldest child in the family, but unfortunately his parents passed away before he broke his shell, and they did not have time to give birth to more younger brothers and sisters for him. After all, his parents gave him this name at the beginning to remember. When I have my second and third eggs, I can directly name them Ah Er Ah San.

Ah Da thought of the reason why his parents named him, and couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Song Wen also introduced himself and Ah Man to him. Naturally, he couldn't see the other party standing naked in the snow chatting with them, so he simply took off his coat and signaled Ah Da to put it on.

Ah Da looked at the strange-looking animal fur coat. After putting on the clothes with the help of Song Wen, he felt his body was warmed up from the cold. He couldn't help being a little surprised. He handed half of it to Song Wen, probably worried that the other party didn't know what a hive was, so he explained it to Song Wen.

"This thing is edible, sweet."

As Ah Da spoke, he put it in his mouth and took a bite. The sweet and greasy taste exploded in his mouth, accompanied by the crisp sound of chewing, which made him squint his eyes in enjoyment, but then there was a loud noise from his stomach , "Gululu" attracted everyone's attention to Adaping's even too thin stomach.

Ah Da himself doesn't care much, there are not many birds and beasts in the forest, and his foot is injured, so he has no strength to catch large prey, and small animals are very clever, so it is not so easy to find them , Ah Da has not eaten for several days.But he was lucky and found the hive, which should last him a few more days.

Ah Man was a bit disgusted when he heard the words. Song Wen used the sugar cane juice to boil the syrup before. Although the amount was not much, the rest had to wait until the weather was warmer to save the seeds and plant them before continuing to extract the juice and boil the sugar. The syrup was no worse than this. Wild hives are delicious, and isn't a hive the nest of the Scolia?Only the weak who can't hunt for food will pick up other people's nests to eat.

Song Wen was not unusual. Although the orcs in front of him looked tall, they couldn't even hunt their prey due to leg injuries, let alone pose any threat to them. Moreover, after chatting for a few words, it can be seen that the other party has a good character. Even when he was hungry, he still gave them half a hive as a thank you gift without hesitation.

Song Wen also wanted to ask the other party more about other orc races. After all, he would also live in the Southland in the future, and it would be good for them to know more. Song Wen thought about it for a while, and then warmly invited the other party. "There is food on our island, if you don't mind, would you like to come back to the island for a meal with us?"

They have all kinds of frozen sea fish and smoked dried sea fish, as well as a bunch of sea birds hunted near the estuary, because there is a natural refrigerator to freeze them, and there is no need to worry about rotting. The amount is enough for their group. Even if they can't hunt other prey along the way, it will be enough for them to eat until spring comes.

There's nothing wrong with having one more person.Song Wen thought proudly.

"Island? Food?" Ah Da stopped chewing, and when he heard the food, he looked at Song Wen and his eyes lit up, as if all kinds of meat had been placed in front of him, allowing him to eat happily look the same.

Ada was afraid that Song Wen would go back on his word, so he nodded again and again, even looking at the harpies next to him was more pleasing to the eye, he struggled for a while, then broke off two-thirds of the honeycomb that was only half left in his hand, and stuffed it into Song Wen's arms. Although there is food to fill his stomach, Ah Da is not willing to give all of this delicious honeycomb to Song Wen. Ah Da likes to eat sweets. They don’t know how to boil sugar like Song Wen. It’s not easy to eat something sweet .

At this time, the wing that lured the bumblebee away also came back, and he changed back into a human form, with some snowflakes on his shoulders, which soon melted into snow water by his body temperature, and saw Ada wearing Song Wen's Shi Yi in the animal fur coat couldn't help frowning, and then looked at Song Wen, and sure enough, he saw that Song Wen's nose was slightly red from the cold.

Although the temperature in the southern land is much warmer than that in the northern sea, it is winter after all, no matter how warm it is, it will not be much warmer.

"I'm back." Although Yi was a little curious about the stranger, after all, when Song Wen went to the top of the mountain to observe the terrain, he squatted here and watched with relish the Scolia besieging him for most of the day.

Yi went to the side to pick up the animal skin clothes he had left behind, and he was not in a hurry to put them on. Instead, he put one of them on Song Wen's body, and then put on the clothes one by one neatly.

Except for the animal skin skirt transformed from its own animal skin, the fur of other wild animals cannot be transformed with their animal form. It is a bit troublesome to put on and take off outside, but the animal form is not as convenient as the human form, and the human form is not cold resistant. No matter how troublesome it is, he can only put this layer of animal skin on himself.

"I'm not cold, and there's nothing useful here, and it's getting late, so let's go back to the island first." Song Wen first carefully checked whether Yi was stung by a bee, and finally felt relieved after confirming that he was not injured. He wanted to take off the animal skin coat that the wings had draped over his body and give it back to him. How could a person who broke his shell a few days later than himself have to be taken care of by the other party in everything.

"Song Song is wearing it, or I'll take off his clothes and put them on for you." Yi pointed to Ah Da.

Ah Da hesitated when he heard the words, and then really wanted to take off the animal skin coat and return it to Song Wen.

Song Wen couldn't help holding his forehead, and waved at A Dalian, "Don't pay me back, let's go back to the island first, there is a fire on the island, even if you don't wear a few animal fur clothes, you don't have to worry about getting cold."

Ah Man was the first to carry the backpacks they were carrying back to Snake Turtle Island. Although Ah Da could still fly, but their race had been at odds with the Harpy for generations, and finally decided to follow Song Wen and the others. Walk slowly.

Song Wen observed for a while. Although Ah Da's legs were sloped, they didn't affect his walking. He could even keep up with the speed of the two of them. It didn't look too forced, but most of the nails on his feet were turned over. When he wakes up, there are no fingernails on it, and only ugly scars are left. Even if he transforms into a beast, it is estimated that the pair of sharp claws that could pierce the throat of the prey have long been useless.

In this primitive world, losing combat effectiveness means death for the most part.

Judging from Ada's appearance, the opponent should have been a powerful fighter before, but now he is only in middle age. The lifespan of the orcs is much longer than that of the humans in Song Wen's original world, and they are now at a vigorous age ,Pity.Song Wen secretly expressed a pity for Ah Dao.

Ah Da probably noticed Song Wen's gaze, but he didn't care too much, so he swung his arm and shook it, "Don't look at me now, I actually have a lot of strength, although I can't hunt anymore, but I don't mind Affecting the flight, maybe you can fly directly back to the North Sea, and fly back to the place of burial." Ada's tone was filled with anticipation.

Song Wen paused and looked sideways at him, "You want to go to the burial place? But you're not old enough to go to the burial place?"

Only people who are about to die can perceive the direction of the burial place. Looking at Ada's appearance alive and kicking now, he can't tell that he is about to die, and since the orcs moved to the southern land, few people can Back to the place of burial.

"Go to Beihai and wait." Ada rubbed his nose, as if he was embarrassed.He didn't tell any of his tribe that he went to the place of burial, and he didn't know which direction the sea was, and which direction the North Sea was. I can't eat Ah Man, but I won't let Ah Da go.

Without a guide, Ah Da has actually been going around in the forest for more than a year. Just crossing the Pingfeng Mountains alone almost killed him. Can't stick it out here.

"Speaking of which, why did you appear here? Didn't people in your clan tell you that this place is dangerous?" Although Ah Da was lucky to not encounter any danger along the way, the forest here is really too strange Now, there was no shadow of half a wild beast, not even a bird. Ada didn't encounter any attack from wild beasts, but he almost starved to death.

"We came from the North Sea."
