After the fog, I became a birdman

Tick ​​tock tick tock!

A string of water drops fell from the roof into the face plate below, so there are at least seventeen or eight basins in the room, and the ground is so full that there is almost no place to set foot.

It was pouring rain outside, and light rain was falling inside, and the sound of hammers nailing wood could be heard in the tree house. Qi Jiang was tinkling to repair their newly built tree house, feeling very helpless.

In fact, he and Su Qing knew that this blessing of heaven and earth would not benefit them, but they did not expect that this blessing of heaven and earth would have three days to ascend to heaven.

Even though the rainforest was wet, there were still fires in many places. Fortunately, they were quickly extinguished by various spiritual plants. The fire did not spread in the jungle, so there is no need for others to worry.

As for the tree house, Qi Jiang and Su Qing returned to the tree house from the work shed immediately after the three-day ascension, but after a short stay, their tree house started to smoke, and there were small flames everywhere. .

The two fought the fire non-stop. They thought that with their ability to control water, they would not have to worry about the fire spreading. Who knew that the power of the three-day ascension was so powerful that manpower could not withstand natural disasters. In the end, their tree house was burnt out into dozens of small houses. The holes, like being shot by someone with a gun, are densely distributed on the wall, and water is constantly leaking.

The small tree house that was originally very poetic and picturesque turned into a weather-beaten broken house in less than a day.

"Strange, we didn't get burned when we used this kind of wood as the gate in the dry season last year." Su Qing walked in with a pile of empty water basins, "Brother Jiang, it won't be after the world stabilizes that all the dead trees before Has it turned into ordinary wood?"

"It's relatively ordinary." Qi Jiang also felt this way, "It won't turn into the wood of our old world, but it can't compare to the new spiritual wood now."

"Then what are we going to do with our house in the giant forest?" Su Qing looked at the wood he had finally hoarded in his space with some headaches.

"Make Qianji Bird first, and let Qianji Bird help us find suitable wood."

"But drying in the sun is a problem. It is the rainy season, and the wood is always wet." Su Qing sensed the mutated plants nearby, "Now the mutated plants are at least the second awakening, the third awakening is quite a lot, and the four awakenings also have their own The mountain is king, so I guess there will be no blessings in the future, and even if there are, it has nothing to do with plants, humans, or animals. There are no blessings exclusive to plants, and there must be no blessings in three days, so how do we dry it?"

"Let's refine it directly." Qi Jiang stretched out his hand towards Su Qing.

Su Qing sent up the toolbox on the ground: "You mean, directly refining it into a magic weapon? Wouldn't this be too troublesome?"

"Well, otherwise there is no other way." Qi Jiang nodded, "Leave this to me, you go to change the basin first, the water is almost full."

After being reminded by him, Su Qing remembered what she was going to do when she came in. She glanced at the water basins on the ground, quickly turned the water inside into streams and threw them under the tree, and then replaced all the water basins on the ground with new ones. One size up.

He had to go to another room to change the water basin. He was afraid that the water would overflow and wet the carpet on the floor, so he couldn't care less about chatting, so he hurried out.

In order to fill in the gaps in the tree house, they worked until eleven o'clock in the evening before going to bed, although strictly speaking it was only two hours.

The working shed on the ground had been burned long ago, leaving only a pitch-black skeleton of the shed.

Qi Jiang and Su Qing were busy taking care of their homes before, and they couldn't take care of the work shed. When they could take care of it, they didn't think there was any need to rescue them.

The tarpaulin was something from the old world, and it was burnt clean without leaving any ash. As for the wood used as the support on the ground, it was also burned into charcoal, and all the wood piled up in the work shed was also burned.

The rain drenched all the charcoal, and Qi Jiang came down to collect the charcoal. When he touched it, the charcoal shattered into pieces, and the work shed completely collapsed.

"Brother Jiang, what happened? Are you okay?" Su Qing poked his head out of the window, because the sight was blocked by branches and leaves, he couldn't see the situation on the ground, "Brother Jiang?"

"I'm fine." Qi Jiang waved his hand, brushed away the charcoal dust in front of his eyes, and shouted upwards, "It's the charcoal that's broken."

"Broken?" Su Qing murmured in a low voice, very puzzled, thinking about the power of Ascension in Three Days, she didn't feel any surprise, "It's fine if it's broken, don't want it, come back first."

Qi Jiang responded, took a piece of wood and carefully picked up the charcoal on the ground, and found that the charcoal from the wood piled up on the ground was still usable, so he put it all away before flying home.

Su Qing was imitating the pattern of the teleportation array in the air with his hands, when he heard the sound of closing the door, he asked without turning his head, "Is there any charcoal that can be used after staying for so long?"

"Yeah." Qi Jiang put away his raincoat, changed his shoes and went to the kitchen to wash his hands, "Why haven't you slept yet?"

"Anyway, I only need to sleep for four hours. I have some ideas now. Let's go to bed at three or four o'clock. It's almost time for breakfast when I wake up tomorrow." Su Qing continued the simulation while answering.

Qi Jiang washed his hands and came out, sat next to him and fiddled with the puppet that was half done before: "What is the idea?"

"On the idea of ​​a small teleportation array."

"Don't you know how to make a small teleportation array?" Qi Jiang paused and looked at him puzzled, "What's wrong with the previous teleportation array?"

Su Qing laughed: "No problem, but that one can only transmit a hundred kilometers. Strictly speaking, it's not small, it can only be considered miniature."

In the Su family's formation book, or in the previous cultivation world, the teleportation formations below [-] kilometers are small ones, the ones below one million kilometers are medium-sized ones, and the large ones are hundreds of millions of kilometers or billions of kilometers.

There is also a different classification, short-distance transmission of less than one million kilometers, and long-distance transmission of one million kilometers.

Because the previous practice world was divided into [-] continents, and the territory of each continent was more than one million, and the continents were divided by even more vast oceans, so there is also a level of intercontinental transmission in terms of long-distance transmission. .

Thinking of this, Su Qing clapped his hands, and compared the world maps drawn by the Su family in different periods from the inheritance memory one by one, and found that the maps of each period were different, but the continents became less and less. .

Originally, Su Qing just wanted to see if it was possible to refer to the previous world map for the current new world map. After discovering the changing law of the map, Su Qing was a little puzzled: "The tree of fortune, why are there fewer and fewer continents?"

"For those who fight, just get used to it." The Good Fortune Tree said as usual.

"Fight, fight?" Su Qing gasped, "Can a fight wipe out Dalu?"

"What's the matter?" Tree of Creation chuckled, "Why do you think your practice world is in decline? Isn't it because of the end of the Dharma Age and insufficient resource allocation that wiped out the entire practice world. This kind of thing, Every period has to go through.”

"But..." Su Qing hesitated, "If this is the case, shouldn't teleportation be done?"

"It can be done." The fortune tree was puzzled, "Why not? You are a new world, the way of heaven is recuperating, and the resources will only increase. It is estimated that it will be possible to return to the level of the ancient times after hundreds of millions of years. It will gradually decrease, the fight is still far away from you, when the time comes, you husband and wife will either fly up, or turn into a cup of loess, what are you worrying about?"

"Don't you think there will be a fight in the future?" Su Qing laughed dryly.

"Actually, you are still lucky." Tree of Creation seemed to have suddenly remembered something, "The universe is full of stars, and I don't know how many worlds have fallen into ruins after entering the wasteland period, let alone the revival of spiritual energy."

"Then why does our world recover spiritual energy?" Su Qing was a little curious.

The Creation Tree has entered a semi-dormant state again, obviously not wanting to answer Su Qing's question.

Su Qing didn't know whether he couldn't know or the Creation Tree didn't want to talk about it, but he didn't care too much. Since the Fortune Tree didn't say it, then he didn't want to ask questions about the secrets of the world.

He continued to look at the map. He wanted to copy the map and compare it with Qi Jiang, but found that he was warned by the inheritance just as he was about to write.

Those who are not powerful cannot record the general trend of the world.

The world map is not a simple map, and ordinary people can't remember it at all. Su Qing remembered something after being warned, and quickly found all the inheritance boxes at home and opened them one by one.

"What are you looking for?" Qi Jiang put down his things, "Do you need help?"

"I remember my grandfather showed me a map when I was a child." Su Qing tapped his head in distress, "It seems to be a map of the previous practice world, but I don't remember where he put it."

Su Qing now has all the memories of his family's inheritance, and he hasn't looked at the ancient books in these boxes for a while, but Qi Jiang often flips through them.

"Over here." Qi Jiang took out a book from another box, let go and took out a translucent map as thin as a cicada's wing, "Is this it?"

"Ah, it's this." Su Qing's eyes lit up, and he took the map and carefully spread it out.

The map is as thin as a cicada's wing, and when folded it is only as thick as a page of a book, but when unfolded, the entire room is not covered enough.

Qi Jiang put away all the furniture on the floor and gave it to Su Qingteng: "What are you looking for?"

"I want to see if the map of the new world is likely to be the same as the previous practice world." Su Qing blinked at him, and then called the Creation Tree, "The Creation Tree, since the spiritual energy is revived and the world is about to return to its peak, then Is my guess right?"

"Yes, not entirely true." A phantom of the good fortune sapling appeared in the air, "Although the world is stable and will not continue to expand, there are still many continents that need to be reborn. The previous map cannot correspond to the current new world. But whether it is the new world or the old world, they are all on the same planet, and the continental framework will not change."

Su Qing rolled his eyes, "In other words, our current map is the map before the Dharma-ending period?"

"It's a map with [-] continents that still exist, and it won't change roughly, but there will definitely be big changes in the details."

Su Qing looked down at the map spread out on the ground, and found that there were not only eighteen continents, but eight hundred. But if you look carefully, some continents are very close. If these close continents are regarded as a continent...

Half an hour later, Su Qing and Qi Jiang circled the [-] continents that had been fragmented.

Hearing the theory of fighting that Su Qing explained to him, Qi Jiang was also surprised, but when he heard the theory of world restoration that Su Qing told him, he had another idea in his mind.

"So, in the future, these continents will slowly move closer to the new continents? Form eighteen complete continents again?"

The Creation Tree didn't answer, but just reminded them: "You don't have to think too much about the eighteen continents. They probably won't be close in ten thousand years. It will take a lot of time for the world to breed a new continent."

"But we can compare where we are." Qi Jiang never thought about thinking about such a profound question, "In this way, Susu and I will go out to experience, at least we will know how long it will take us to reach the next continent. You can even take a shortcut when you come back, and you don’t have to strictly go back the same way.”

His idea was good. The buds of the Creation Tree made their heads and went back to dormancy.

The map on the ground is before the decline of the practice world and the map before the world was forced to collapse. According to the Tree of Creation, the map on the ground is different from the map of the new world.

There are several periods in the inheritance of the Su family, the six periods of constant ancient, barren ancient, immemorial, ancient, ancient, and middle ancient. After the Middle Ages, there are not many records of the inheritance of the Su family, because at that time the continents were scattered and the world had already been integrated. Enter the Dharma-ending age, not the short Dharma-ending period at the end of each period.

In order to distinguish it, the Su family called it the Great End of Law period. After that, the practice world was broken, the world entered the wasteland period, monks entered the mortal world, and mortals developed new technologies after thousands of years.

However, it was clear that new technology could not save the world, so Tiandao tried to revive the spirit again.

And the map on the ground is the map of the end of the Dharma period.

Now that the new world is full of spiritual things, it must have gotten rid of the Dharma-ending period. According to the Tree of Creation, the world is gradually recovering, and if a new continent is to be bred, then the current map should be the map of the Middle Ages.

"What were the maps in the Middle Ages like?" Qi Jiang asked curiously.

Su Qing counted: "In the Middle Ages, there were a total of [-] large continents, and the continents belonging to the same continent were divided by the inner sea. So the embryonic form of the eighteen continents can be clearly seen on the map."

"Can we find out where we are? The ocean we crossed before is definitely not big, it should be an inland sea."

Originally, with so many continents and inland seas, it is logically impossible to find them, but when Su Qing thought of the area in Fengcheng that had turned into a piece of magma, he suddenly had some ideas.

Soon, he found out the corresponding place of Fengcheng, but when he went north across the inland sea, he found that it was a bit wrong.

Su Qing frowned, and took a pen to look for the corresponding place on the map of the Great Doomsday. When he couldn't find it, he simply asked Qi Jiang to fold it up again, and drew a rough map with a pen and paper.

Afraid of being warned again, he didn't dare to copy it, but drew a few strokes casually.

"Look, according to the ancient map, the magma area where Fengcheng is located is the sea of ​​flames, which borders Pingnan Island, and the north of Pingnan Island is Maomiao Continent where we are, but I am looking for it on the east coast. There is no giant forest, and the shape of Pingnan Island is not quite right, at least starting from the southeast, all the way to Gaocheng..."

In the middle of Su Qing's speech, he suddenly patted himself on the head: "I have forgotten that our previous knowledge of Pingnan Sea Island was before the great expansion, and it is normal that the shape does not match."

"If the giant forest doesn't exist, it's probably because the details mentioned by the Creation Tree don't match up." Qi Jiang was not surprised, "In this way, except for roughly the same continents and mountains, the creatures and groups on land and in the sea should be the same as before. It's different."

Su Qing nodded approvingly: "But no matter what, at least we know that we don't have to go to a place to draw a map in the future."

"Speaking of this, is Luqiao on the map?" Qi Jiang suddenly remembered this.

Su Qing was taken aback: "Not here."

"In this way, the land bridge was specially set up by Tiandao." Qi Jiang didn't believe that the land bridge only existed between Pingnan Island and Maomiao Continent. Come on."

Su Qing glanced at the east of Maomiao Continent again, and found that there was an island bigger than Pingnan Island. If there was a land bridge, it should be connected to the coast of the giant forest.

The strange thing is that he has been to the giant forest twice, but he didn't feel the existence of the land bridge from the sea breeze, but he was on the south coast, and he could clearly feel the existence of the land bridge from the sea breeze.

After all, winds carrying islands carry very different information than winds blowing across vast oceans.

Su Qing asked while thinking: "If I say that there is a bigger island east of the east coast, but I haven't found a land bridge, what do you think?"

"Huh?" Qi Jiang frowned slightly, "Three possibilities, first, the land bridge appears randomly. Second, the conditions for the appearance of the land bridge are not met, for example, there is no specific race on the island in the east, or the number of creatures is insufficient, or There's no life there at all, etc. Third, the island is protected, so there's no land bridge."

In fact, there are other possibilities, but in any case, Qi Jiang prefers that the appearance of the land bridge is not accidental.

As long as the land bridge is found, and from the land bridge to another piece of land, there is always something to be discovered.

The two muttered in the room for another two hours, and they probably decided on where they would go after their experience, and then went on to do their own things.

The next day, when the sun was shining brightly, Su Qing woke up and found that all the mutated plants within a [-]-kilometer radius of them had moved their nests.

In other words, during the four hours he was sleeping last night, the non-rooted mutant plants that were dormant underground to digest the energy of blessings all ran away, and many rooted mutant plants that had some small movements before were as well-behaved as pets. Even the rustling sound was much smaller.

"Brother Jiang, have you chased away all these mutated plants?" Su Qing lay on the window and looked out in confusion.

"Seek the advantages and avoid the disadvantages." Qi Jiang sat on the ground and fiddled with the puppets in his hands, "They were all dormant before, if they didn't leave, they probably thought they could beat us after the blessing, and they might be able to eat together A big one, now that the blessing is over, there will be no major changes in strength in a short period of time, so of course I dare not stay in our territory."

"It's right to think so." Su Qing turned and leaned against the window, "However, the blessed plants have woken up one after another, I'm afraid the war will start again."

"It's time for them to compete with other races for their territory." Qi Jiang suddenly remembered the mutated plants in the Hope Base, "I'm going to the Hope Base to buy some vegetables, do you want to go?"

"What kind of food to buy?" Su Qing was puzzled, "I have food at home."

Qi Jiang smiled: "Have you forgotten those plants in the ground?"

Su Qing suddenly realized: "Then let's go for a stroll, it's a bit boring to stay at home during this time, it's better to go out and relax."

After tidying up the things on the table, I went to the kitchen to get the food basket: "Let's go."

Su Qing, who also came out with a vegetable basket from the space, found that the basket in Qi Jiang's hand was very strange, and wondered: "Where did you get the vegetable basket at home?"

"In the past few days when you went to the giant forest, I was bored at home and went to the Hope Base to buy vegetables once."

Su Qing suddenly realized, put away the vegetable basket in his hand, took a piece of cloth and placed it on the bottom of the basket on Qijiang's side, and put a few pieces of spirit stones in it: "Is the vegetable money enough?"

"Enough." Qi Jiang nodded with a smile, took out a more exquisite-looking flying carpet from the Qiankun bag, and put the vegetable basket on it: "Let's go, try my upgraded flying carpet."

"You also made it in those few days?" Su Qing flew up with a smile, and found that the speed of the flying carpet was more than ten times faster than before, "The speed is quite fast."

"But it's still far from being upgraded to the level of the flying boat." Qi Jiang's request for the flying boat is twice as fast as Su Qing's current speed, so it makes sense to let the flying boat help them on their way.

If the speed is not enough, it is better for them to fly by themselves, so as not to delay things.

Leaving the jungle, they found that many people in the territory of the Hope Base were reclaiming wasteland. Qi Jiang also came to buy vegetables after Su Qing went out before. It has been nine days, and he naturally does not know when the wasteland is. Why did the land reclamation start? When Su Qing looked over, he shook his head in doubt.

The flying carpet landed at the gate of the base, and Sister Lu at the registration office stood up from the stool with a smile on her face: "Mr. Qi, Mr. Su, why are you two coming here when you are free?"

"Come here to buy vegetables." Qi Jiang signed his name on the registration form.

Sister Lu was stunned for a moment, the life of the secret boss is really leisurely, he lives in the jungle and even goes out to buy vegetables.

She checked it again with a smile, and after making sure there was nothing wrong, she took out another lease book: "Mr. Qi, Mr. Su, your previous lease expires in four days. Do you want to continue renting?"

In fact, Su Qing and the others don't need that territory at all if they live in the jungle, but if they don't continue to rent it, they hope that the base will send people to live there, which is equivalent to giving others a chance to monitor them.

Originally, according to the plan, they had left long ago to find a settlement. The one-month lease period was enough, but who knew they would still find Brother Chen, and they also met Xiang Shengshu later, so naturally they were delayed until now.

Fortunately, now that Brother Chen has been found and the place of residence has been determined, it will not be too late to recognize Xiang Shengshu as the owner. Su Qing continued to rent for a month, which must be more than enough this time.

When Su Qing and the others left, Sister Lu hurriedly asked a soldier standing guard outside to report the news.

In the streets of the trading area, there are three or four more vegetables than before. If the hardworking people who have suffered from constipation for a long time were not afraid of being poisoned to death, they would have thrown themselves on the ground to eat grass when the plants regenerated.

Vegetables have now become the most in-demand commodity in the Hope Base. Because of the small quantity and scarcity of varieties, as long as someone brings vegetables to sell, there will be many people queuing up every day, and there is no need to worry about selling them.

But because the energy of vegetables is much lower than that of meat, they cannot be sold at a high price. It is impossible to make a fortune from this, but it is still possible to make the life of the family better.

The premise is that you dare to enter the jungle and come out alive with vegetables.

There was a long queue at the only seven or eight vegetable stalls. Qi Jiang and Su Qing lined up behind the line holding vegetable baskets, chatting for a while from time to time, and Liu Xingjie came over after a while.

Just as they guessed.

"Mr. Qi, Mr. Su, why did you come to buy vegetables in person?" Liu Xingjie raised a bright smile, "There are not many dishes on the vegetable stand, and they will be gone when you are there. There are many in our cafeteria. In the future, the two Just say it, and I'll ask someone to send it to your home."

"No need." Qi Jiang refused lightly.

Liu Xingjie seemed to have guessed that he would refuse a long time ago, so he smiled and asked someone to get the food, then came over and asked in a low voice: "Mr. See if you are free?"

"The last cooperation can't be helped for the time being." Qi Jiang felt the smell of mutated plants in the ground, and used a gentle smile to hide the shrewdness on his face, "However, I have some news to sell to you now."

Liu Xingjie was taken aback for a moment, and just about to ask what the news was, when he realized that there were more people around, he straightened his expression.

"Those two, this way please."

"I'll just go." Qi Jiang handed the vegetable basket to Su Qing, and told him softly, "Wait for me to come back."

Su Qing pursed her lips and smiled: "Okay."
