Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Bang!" With the sound of a musket, a big gray bird by the small lake in the distance fell down. Other birds around were frightened and soared into the sky amidst the chaotic birdsong, trying to hurry up.  Escape from this land of right and wrong.  But it is a pity that the person who killed their companions just now did not intend to let them go. Just when these big birds took off, several more musket sounds were heard, and several more big birds fell down.  The wings were flapping on the ground, but they couldn't fly.

    However, the nightmare of these big birds is still not over. With the sound of bowstrings, more than a dozen long arrows flew out like lightning. Although a few of them fell into the air, at least half of them hit the target.  As a result, the big bird that was hit by the arrow screamed.

    It is also worth mentioning that among these bows and arrows, there is actually a strange weapon flying out, and it is attacking the big bird in a curve. However, it is a pity that it may be due to the influence of the musket, plus  The distance was too far, so the weapon did not hit the target, but precisely because of this, the weapon turned a strange arc in mid-air, and then flew into the hands of the thrower.

    "What a wonderful weapon! Although the lethality is a little weaker, if a hit misses, it can be retracted again and then launch a second attack. It would be great if the arrows we shot could come back on their own.  That's interesting!" Lu Wanfang put down his musket and stared curiously at the strange-shaped weapon in the hands of the native girl next to him.

    The native girl next to Lu Wan is the girl who originally traded bracelets with Erhanzi. Her name is Duoya, and she is only fifteen years old this year.  Because Lu Wan bribed Lu Moduo, the leader of Moli, with a mirror.  As a result, Lumodo told them that it was on the coast of the big island opposite Sunset Island.  There is a place that produces gold, and they are very enthusiastic about letting the girl Doya lead the way for them.  Now they are on the way to find gold mines. In addition to Lu Wan, there are also key members of the fleet such as Feng Shijie and Liu Kata. There are more than a hundred people in total, and they are landing in full force. After all, safety is the first priority. Gold mines  Compared with human life, it is still placed in a secondary position.

    Lu Wan and the others landed on the big island in the morning, and it was already sunset.  It was getting dark soon, and according to Duo Ya, this place was still some distance away from the gold mine, and they would definitely not be able to reach it today, so Lu Wan and the others simply camped on the spot, preparing to rest here for the night and continue their journey tomorrow.  , they were hunting just now.

    In fact, not only Lu Wan is interested in the weapon in Duoya's hand, but others are also very curious.  And Liu Kata asked directly: "Doya, what is the name of the weapon you are using, and why does it come back on its own if you throw it out?"

    Among Lu Wan and the others, only Liu Kata was the most in line with Mo Li¡¯s aesthetics.  In addition, he is the only one who can communicate with the natives, so in Doya's eyes, he has the most favorable impression of Liu Kata.  Now that I heard him ask in person, I immediately said proudly: "This weapon is called a boomerang. It is a weapon we use for hunting. This one was left to me by my father. Unfortunately, I am a woman, and I have no control over the use of weapons."  I¡¯m not very proficient, but if the leader throws it, he will definitely be able to knock down a Rumodor in one go.¡±

    Doya was obviously worried about her mistake just now. She felt that she had lost the face of the tribe in front of these outsiders, so she came up with the excuse that she was a woman. As for the Rumordo she said at the end, it was exactly the same as before.  The name of the big gray bird is, of course, the name given to this bird by the Moli Ministry.  It is also worth mentioning that the totem of the Moli tribe is also this kind of bird, and the leader also takes the honorific title of Lumodo.

    After nearly a day of getting along, Lu Wan and the others have accepted Duoya as one of them, and they also found that although this native girl looks a bit ugly, she has a bold personality and is just like a man, so the crew members regard her as one of them.  She looked at it as a man and did not feel awkward because there was an extra woman in the team.

    Hearing that this thing made of wood turned out to be their weapon, Lu Wan and the others were very curious. Except for the people who went to collect prey by the small lake, they all gathered around and coaxed Duoya to show them this kind of weapon again.  A magical weapon that flies back on its own.

    Seeing that Lu Wan and the others were interested in their weapons, the simple native girl felt very happy. She happily threw the boomerang back in her hand. After turning in a beautiful arc, the boomerang flew back again.  , frightened the surrounding crew members. After all, although this weapon is made of wood, it is made of extremely hard wood and is not light in weight. If it hits the head, although it will not kill anyone, it will  Bleeding is inevitable.

    Seeing this boomerang flying around in the sky, but always falling into Duoya's hands in the end, this made Lu Wan and the others feel a little itchy. Liu Kata was still shameless at the moment and asked Duoya to borrow it.  Try it yourself, and Duoya is also very generous. Not only does he lend them moods to play with, but he also personally gives guidance to Lu Wan.?The tricks we use boomerangs.

    This boomerang is actually not troublesome to use. As long as you master a few tricks, you can make it fly out and back immediately. However, Doya and the others use this thing for hunting, so the key is that after throwing it, it can still fly  Letting it hit the target is not something that can be accomplished in a day or two.  But Lu Wan and the others were just playing for fun anyway. If they were used for hunting, their muskets and bows were much more powerful and more accurate than boomers, so they only needed to learn a little bit.

    As the captain, Lu Wan only tried it a few times before handing the boomerang to the crew to play with. He and Feng Shijie went to the lake to see the prey they had just captured.  The camp they were stationed on was on a high ground not far from this small lake, and this was also Doya's idea, because she told Lu Wan that they could hunt prey by this small lake, but they really encountered this kind of situation.  Big gray bird.

    "Captain, this thing really looks like a crane. It's just that the body is gray and looks like it's covered with soil. In addition, the head is different from the crane. It doesn't look as beautiful as the crane. Otherwise, we  I really don't dare to eat it, after all, the crane is the mount of the gods in the sky!" Feng Shijie mentioned a big bird that was seriously injured but not dead, and joked with a smile on his face.

    Lu Wan had long known about this kind of bird from Lu Moduo. At first, he felt that it looked a bit like a crane. But now it turned out to be so when he saw it. Except for the subtle differences in color and head, this big bird was exactly the same as a crane. The ancients said that burning  Cooking a crane with a harp is a disgrace to the scenery. Although I didn't burn the harp, I cooked the crane and ate it.

    Lu Wan and Feng Shijie chatted casually for a few words, and finally the topic turned to the big island at their feet.  Since landing this morning, except for a lot of woods on the seaside, the rest is a vast and lush grassland, and the grass on this grassland grows so high that people can¡¯t even get out of the grass. In addition, in this dense grass  There are swamps all over the place, and you may fall into it if you are not careful, so if it were not for the good guide Duoya, they would not dare to go too deep.

    In fact, both Lu Wan and Feng Shijie knew that what they encountered were just some minor difficulties, and they didn't take them to heart. What they and the entire fleet are most concerned about now is how big is the big island under their feet?  According to Rumordo's explanation that day, the area of ??this large island is probably far beyond their imagination, because according to the other party, after landing from them and then walking southeast, they will enter the desert area, where the desert stretches to the sky, and ordinary people cannot  It is precisely because of the obstruction of this desert that Rumordo knows very little about the situation on the other side of the desert.

    Thinking about the area that Lu Wan and the others passed through, the climate has always been extremely hot. In addition, there are islands along the way, so there will naturally be a lot of precipitation. But now there is a large island under their feet.  There is a desert, and ordinary people can't walk across it at all. From this, we can know the area of ????this desert. Thinking about the large island where the desert is located, it is estimated that its area should be at least twice the area of ??the desert. Such a large island  I am afraid that a place can no longer be called an island, but it would be more appropriate to call it a continent.

    Speaking of the area of ??this big island, Feng Shijie thought of another thing, and immediately said: "Captain, the area of ????this land is extremely vast. You sent a fleet to sail along the coast to prepare to measure its area, but  Given the size of this big island, it will probably take a lot of time to sail around it. Should we just keep waiting like this?"

    When they left Sunset Island before, the entire fleet was divided into three teams, with two large ships forming their current group, equipped with the best weapons, and preparing to go to the island to find gold mines.  The other team only has one large ship and several small ships. They are responsible for surveying the situation in Sunset Bay and looking for a place suitable for building a port. After all, if there is really gold here, then they have to build a port here, so  Preparations must be made in advance.

    Finally, there was a fleet of two large ships. They were ordered to sail around the island for a week. However, Feng Shijie was worried about the size of the island. The fleet sailing around the island would spend too much time on the road. If this delayed the return voyage,  , that would not be good.

    However, after hearing this, Lu Wan smiled and said: "Shi Jie, you don't have to worry about this problem. I have ordered them to return directly if there is no sign of the end of the voyage in five days. After all, they cannot complete the journey in five days."  circle, it means that the area of ??this island is larger than Jinzhou and Borneo, and there is no need to explore any more!"

    Feng Shijie didn¡¯t expect Lu Wan to be so considerate and even make careful arrangements for this kind of thing, and he finally felt relieved about the fleet he sent out.

    But at this moment, a crew member suddenly ran over quickly, shouting loudly as he ran: "Captain, hurrygo back quickly! A few idiots got into a fight over something!"
