For the people of the Black Crow Clan, it was only a few minutes of flying, but it took a full half a day to switch to walking. It was not until noon that Song Wen finally arrived at the edge of the destination.

Fortunately, it is still cold winter, the weeds on the ground have not yet grown up, and the trees here have not grown so densely that it is difficult to walk. Even Ah Que, who has never walked such a long distance with his legs I don't feel tired at all.

As Cui, the elder of the Black Crow Clan, said before, this is a vast wasteland, with a few not-so-high rocky mountains beside it. Turning over is the depression where the Crow Crows live, not far from here. But this piece of wasteland is not close to the North River, and there is no stream flowing through it. It is not like the tall trees growing in the nearby forest. Even some bushes, because it is not yet spring, only a few dry branches are left. The bare branches stand tenaciously on the wasteland.

The ground is covered with white snow, some of which have begun to melt, revealing traces of mud, and weeds that have just begun to sprout a little green, which are very conspicuous in the snow. Apart from the sound of human breathing, there was not even the sound of insects that they occasionally heard in the forest all the way, it was very quiet.

"This is here." Ah Que pointed to the vast wasteland in front of him and explained to Song Wen and the two, "There are no large ferocious beasts occupying here, and it is much safer than living by the river."

Beastmen and ordinary wild beasts also overlap. There are some leopards and black bears in the forest, and there are trees to cover them, which is not suitable for bird hunting. Sometimes even Ah Que and the others have to go around After passing these ferocious beasts, he would not deliberately provoke them.

When the weather warms up completely, there will be many carnivores in the river, some of which are amphibious and can easily climb to the Snake Turtle Island, and many animals will go to the river to drink water. Compared with the forest, the river The degree of danger here is obviously higher.

Song Wen looked at the situation of the wasteland. The wasteland is very large. Even the huge snakes and tortoises have room to move around freely. It is indeed the most suitable place for them to settle down along the way.

"Why are there so few trees here?" Song Wen stepped into the wasteland, and the snow under his feet and the buried dry grass and branches under the snow were "squeaked" by his stepping. Being so close, it stands to reason that such a large area should not be wasted.

Ah Que disturbed the back of his head and shook his head, "It's not suitable for trees to grow here." He didn't know the specific reason. Since he broke his shell, this wasteland has always been like this. There were also trees growing in the place, but now, only a few low bushes remained.

Song Wen squatted down and used a bone knife to push away the snow and weeds on the surface, revealing the white ground below.He dug down a few times, picked up a handful of soil with his hands and looked at it, feeling somewhat clear in his heart.

This is a saline-alkali land, but it is not too serious. If the soil is dug deeper, crops can still be planted.

Song Wen patted the soil off his hands, as long as the land can be planted, he just wondered if he could build a well here, or he would have to run to the river every time he fetched water, even if some of them could fly It is also a troublesome thing.

However, before deciding to settle in this wasteland, there was one more thing Song Wen had to do, and that was to cut down a road leading from the river to the wasteland, allowing snakes and turtles to pass through.

"The weather has been warm recently, and the animals in the forest haven't come back yet. Many people in the clan are idle and have nothing to do. I can bring someone to help you clean up these trees." Ah Que said enthusiastically.

Before, they had to spend most of their time every day looking for prey, and sometimes sneaked into the territory of other races. If they were discovered by others, there would inevitably be a conflict, even if they were busy for most of the day, there might not be any harvested.

Now everyone has gone fishing with Ah Daxue. The North River, which was dangerous for them in the past, has now become the easiest place for them to get food.

And yesterday, Ada alone caught enough river fish for the entire group to eat for a day, which was much higher than what they had gained from hunting, and Ah Que also wanted to repay these people.Even though they are Black Crows who are not very strong individually, they also have a lot of strength in human form, which is more than enough to handle a little tree.

Naturally, Song Wen would not reject Ah Que's offer of help. If only a few of them want to clear up such a path, it may not be possible to get it done in a month or two. Maybe they will have to find a new foothold .

On the way back, Song Wen broke off a few trunks of the mulberry tree, planning to peel off the bark and try to make paper when he was free at night.

A group of people were crowded by the river, and Ada moved out a few rattan baskets from the wooden house. After a day, the rattan baskets were almost filled with various river fish, the most abundant being black-brown catfish, and these catfish were more abundant than others. River fish has few fish bones, so it is a food that people of the Black Crow Clan like very much.As soon as Song Wen came back, he told the others that he was going to settle down in the wasteland.

Ada was the happiest about this matter, because he was too excited, and the end of his eyes were still a little red. The wasteland and the place where the Black Crows lived were separated by a few not-so-high peaks, and they spread their wings and crossed But only for a while.

Those who were originally reluctant to return to the group because of Ah Da also gathered around, with unconcealable smiles on their brows and eyes, some even bumped Ah Da with their shoulders, winked and smiled, that's great, they don't need Separated again.

Even when Ah Que proposed to them that they want to help Song Wen and the others to clear out a road that allows snakes and turtles to travel together, those who were still around and learning how to fish with Ah University did not hesitate, and agreed immediately. Someone even stepped aside, bent down and easily uprooted a small tree that wasn't too thick.

Song Wen glanced at the man's protruding arm, and saw that there was a huge amount of power in it, and he couldn't help but secretly admired it. The trees in this forest had grown for an unknown number of years, and some of the trunks were so thick that they needed Several people hugged each other. Even members of the Black Crow Clan couldn't uproot such deep-rooted trees, they could only bypass them.

Even the bone knives made of seabird bones in the North Sea are not suitable for cutting down trees. Song Wen asked Ada to continue to catch today's river fish for the Black Crows, and then led others to start clearing the road. He had already marked the road and found the most suitable route, which could lead to the wasteland in the shortest distance and bypass the old trees with thick diameters.

Before it was dark, the black crow men who came to learn fishing by the river quickly opened up a small open space. Considering the size of the snake tortoise, this road must be cleared wide enough. It's not something that can be done overnight. When the sun was about to fall to the top of the mountain, Song Wen told everyone to stop.

He lit a fire by the river, it is close to the river, it is more convenient to clean the river fish, he moved some of the usual cooking tools from the wooden house, and Song Wen boiled a few pots of fish for the Black Crows to warm their bodies The soup and grilled fish are much more delicious than last night's with just a little sea salt because of the extra seasoning.

Song Wen also used a few wooden boxes and bamboo tubes to pack the fish soup and grilled fish separately, and asked Ah Que to take them back to the clansmen who stayed in the cave to enjoy.

The people of the Black Crow tribe happily ate and drank enough, and flew back quickly with the last twilight of the setting sun.

Compared with the people of the Black Crow Clan, Song Wen, who is an emperor penguin, is obviously much weaker in terms of strength, but Yi Yi doesn't seem to feel tired, so he picks up the penguin after eating under the light of the fire by the river. His big bone knife continued to work, Song Wen knew that he was not tired, so he didn't stop him.

The people of the Black Crow Clan do not seem to have the habit of cutting down trees. Even some thick trees are mostly pulled out by several people together. The broken roots are covered with black soil and there are some rotten leaves. It can be seen that the land in this forest is very fertile. After a period of time when the weather warms up, the fertile soil will make the plants here grow stronger.

"Now that the snow has not completely melted, it would be too much effort to pull up these trees directly."

Ah Da couldn't use his strength because of his inflexible legs and feet. He had been busy preparing dinner for everyone. He was cleaning up with Song Wen at the moment. So they took a few large wooden boxes of hot cooked food that Song Wensai gave them, and flew home happily.

"Should I ask them to make some bone knives for chopping?" Ah Da is now able to sharpen the bone knives. Although the shape of the bone knives is not as good as Song Wen's and the others, there is no big problem in using them.

Song Wen shook his head, "Most of our hands are made of bird bones, which are too light and too brittle." It is estimated that it will collapse directly after only two chops.

The only thing that can be used now is Yi's big bone knife, which is still made of the bones of humpback whales. Song Wen didn't expect that the bones were harder than he imagined, but it's a pity that he didn't get more bones back then.The sound of "Tuk Tuk" came not far away, and it didn't take long to hear the loud sound of trees falling to the ground.

Song Wen looked back and saw that Yi had already walked towards the next tree with the bone knife in hand.

In fact, with the size of the snake tortoise, it is not impossible to walk through the forest directly, but the body of the snake tortoise still has traces of being parasitized by barnacles before, and some scars have regrown after applying the leaves similar to aloe vera to remove the scars. The skin is very delicate and will not hinder it in the water, but it is easy to scratch when it comes to these hard trees.

"I saw several rocky mountains in the wasteland before. Tomorrow, I'll go and see if I can get some rocks and make some stone axes." Song Wen thought for a while and said.

"I know there is a mountain with some very hard black stones. I'll take you to see it tomorrow."

"Then I'll trouble you." Song Wen cleaned the cooking tools and threw a few pieces of dry firewood into the fire. The flames became more vigorous and the shadows of the people were lengthened. "Wait for the snow to melt." Finally, you can dig some soil for the island, such fertile soil will definitely be able to cultivate a luxuriant skin graft."
