Chapter 349 Stone Man
Rong Dazhi was very disappointed. He had thought that they could live together in the future, but it turned out that they would be further apart. He liked the people in the Dragon and Phoenix Team, "Dad, why don't I stay in Shicheng to protect them." Anyway, he looked like his dad, and when he missed his dad, he could just look in the mirror. As for other people, there was nothing to miss, and even his mother was not very familiar to him. The Dragon and Phoenix Team was the only people he regarded as friends, and he was reluctant to part with them like this.
Rong Deju felt very disappointed. People say girls are extroverts. Was his son born with the wrong gender?
The disdain of the entire team seemed to solidify into something substantial. Who could he, this bunch of people, protect? "You should just go with your father. We in Shicheng are poor and can't afford to support you."
Rong Dazhi's eyes were filled with tears. He didn't eat much at all, right? Besides, he could bring his own rations.
Fortunately, Rong Deju didn’t know what his own son was thinking, otherwise he would have died on the spot.
Wei Xiong licked his lips. This was a predictable outcome. The Dragon and Phoenix Team had been a force to be reckoned with back then, and now they were even more so. It was hard to say what would happen next. However, he still felt a bit unwilling to give up. Who wouldn't want to stand above the nine heavens? Never mind. It was fate, nothing could be forced. "Okay then. I hope we'll see each other again. I'll go say goodbye to Lao He first and leave tomorrow. Thank you all for your hospitality."
The Wei brothers and sisters also stood up and exchanged some pleasantries. They accompanied Wei Xiong on this trip just to feel the changes in the world and accumulate experience for migration. They did not show themselves too much.
Along the way, Shicheng was what shocked them the most. They had been in Shicheng for two days, and the shock still remained and could not subside for a long time. If it were not for the pride of the Wei family, they also wanted to live here.
The big team smiled and saw them off, without commenting on what they were thinking.
He then sent the tearful Rong Dazhi away and promised him a lot of benefits and conditions.
Seeing Rong Dazhi crying like a little wife, the friends felt very sad. Rong Dazhi has a simple mind and treats people sincerely. There is no conflict of interest between them, so he is a worthy friend.
But Rong Deju will not surrender to Shicheng, and Shicheng is even less likely to rely on other safe bases, so, at least in the short term, everyone must go their separate ways.
In the future, the unification of the world is inevitable, and the people who unify it will inevitably be the Dragon and Phoenix Team. As long as Rong Dazhi is still alive, they can meet. For this reason, the little friends are not too sad about the separation.
Little fights are the spice of life. After the excitement, we still have to live a peaceful and stable life.
Three months later, at the end of the third year of the apocalypse, the massive project of carving stairs on the mountain behind the base, which had taken two years, was finally half completed, and the large team embarked on a journey to explore the wetland forest.
Standing on the top of the mountain and overlooking the base, the gourd-shaped base is as small as the imprint of the palm of your hand, with a little green standing in the middle.
"I hope the storm will help them take root and grow, and won't easily destroy them." A strong earthquake is about to strike, and the world will be re-divided. Shicheng cannot remain immune, especially since it is at the forefront of the storm, and Qinzhou is the only one left. Lan Shiruo sighed softly. The future of Shicheng depends not only on the strength of the Dragon and Phoenix team, but also on the strength of everyone. Shicheng will never become strong if it is protected by their wings.
Ao Chengyi held his young wife's hand tightly and said, "Let's go."
Lan Shiruo nodded. The family of three sat on Xiao Feifei's back, while their other cub, Shou Shou, sat in a hanging basket, carried by Goshawk. They swooped down from the top of the mountain toward the wetland forest.
The stone steps on the mountain must continue. The way up the mountain is complete, but the way down the mountain needs to be improved. Qinzhou is about to be destroyed. From now on, when their large army migrates, they will have to take the back road and cross the mountain.
The wetland forest is a retreat. A large team can be carried by small flying goshawks, but tens of thousands of people cannot.
Descending from the mountaintop, we were greeted by a sea of emerald green and a sense of dampness. This was the first time the entire team had seen the world beyond the base's three mountains. Like the Cangyuan Mountains, the landscape here was lush and delicate, lacking the imposing grandeur of the Cangyuan Mountains. But equally vibrant and distinct, each possessed its own unique character.
On the back of the mountain, at the foot of the mountain, there are ravines with strange rocks, winding and twisting like a maze. If you pass by land, you can only walk through the ravines.
But once they enter the ravine, they will lose their direction. When they migrate, they have to be directed in mid-air, and they don’t know whether there will be any danger in the ravine.
"Do you want to go down and explore?" asked the friend.
Lan Shiruo pondered for a moment and nodded, "Let's go." It would be better to know in advance so that we can be prepared.
The goshawk Xiao Feifei slowly descended, but the ravine was very narrow and he could not find a foothold, so he could only land in the ravine.
The feeling is not very obvious when looking down, but when you are in it, you will find that the gullies are hundreds of meters deep, nearly a hundred meters wide in some places, and only one or two meters wide in some places. If there is any danger in such a place, you will only be beaten.
The upper end of the ravine is very narrow, but the lower end is very thick, full of various hard rocks. Even Miaomiao has to use all his strength to smash a hole. Even Ding Jiajia can hardly blast out a wide road with a cannonball.
In the gully area, the straight-line distance from the foot of the mountain to the wetland forest is two to three kilometers. Following the gully, the distance is more than ten times longer with twists and turns.
The large team wandered around inside for two hours and did not find any dangerous species.
"I think the biggest danger here is not the species, but the mentality. If we keep wandering around like this endlessly, even people with the best mentality will go crazy." He Lian said.
"It's very challenging." Zhang Yun was in high spirits. She liked challenges.
"How about we compete to see who gets out first?" Ding Jiajia said with a smile.
"Bullshit, I don't want to stay in this damn place for even a minute." Feng Tao has a bad temper and can't stand places like this. He is getting angry.
Duan Jianghe smiled leisurely, "Old Feng, you should spend more time in places like this to cure your temper."
"Quack, are you itching for trouble?" Old Feng has a bad temper and can explode at any time.
Duan Jianghe leisurely walked behind Han Qingquan, his smile becoming more and more infuriating.
Feng Tao rushed forward with his neck stiffened. Han Qingquan raised his eyelids to look at him, and his anger instantly subsided. He glared at Duan Jianghe fiercely and said, "Wait for it, Master Tao."
Duan Jianghe responded with a provocative curl of his lips and said, "Come over here."
The little friends all rolled their eyes, calling him childish.
"Forget it, let's not waste time here. Let's come back and take a look." Lan Shiruo frowned. If they continued like this, there was no telling when it would end. They still had a lot of things to do, and it was not worth wasting time here.
My friend had no objection, so we picked a more spacious place and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, the ground shook in vain. The little friend was stunned for a moment, "Is there a strong earthquake?"
"Not like it." Lan Shiruo shook her head.
"Be careful, there are foreign objects coming." Ao Chengyi looked at the slowly rising pile of stones not far away, his black eyes narrowed slightly.
Lan Shiruo subconsciously lifted Lebao onto Xiao Feifei's back and asked, "What is that?"
"Stone man," Fang Tongtong said excitedly, "Like the stone man in the storybook, Aunt Lan, are there really stone men in the world?"
Stone man?
