The wind blew small pieces of sand and gravel onto my body. There was a gust of wind so strong that I couldn't even open my eyes.
The wilderness was different from the forest. In the forest, even if there was wind in winter, it wasn't very strong because it was blocked by the tall trees. There was only the whistling sound of the wind. When it got cold, it started
to snow, covering the entire forest layer by layer. It was cold and humid, silent and deserted. But it was different here. The temperature was already very low, but there was still only frost but no snow on the ground. The strong wind was scraping the land wantonly. The most important thing was that it was cold and dry here. After walking around on the plain, my face was about to crack. Every time Song Xu went out and came back, he would find that his lips were cracked and blood would flow out if he licked them. Every day
when Song Xu went out for a run, she would run a little further. She wanted to see if there was a place farther ahead that was more suitable for the blackwood to hibernate.
She rarely saw living things when she was walking outside, but not long after she went out that day, she saw a dark shadow circling in the sky. It was too far away to see what kind of bird it was. She could only see it flapping its wings in the wind, as if it wanted to fight the wind, but because its wings were still a little immature, they were blown crooked by the strong wind.
Song Xu looked at it for a while and thought it seemed to be an eagle.
Was it looking for food? Thinking of the experience of being taken as prey by eagles several times along the way, Song Xu picked up a few stones just in case. If it dares to fly down, I will smash it. There will be stones all over the ground, not to mention other things.
The eagle circled above Song Xu's head, and suddenly it flapped its wings and flew down, its target clearly coming towards her. Song Xu lifted up the stone, and saw the eagle fall unsteadily to the ground, and then rolled shamefully on the ground before getting up. The moment it got up, its two wings folded up. At this time, Song Xu finally realized that it was an orc.
Generally speaking, most orcs will not eat orcs, so Song Xu put down the stone. But many of them love to fight, so Song Xu put down the stone and instead tightened the orc tooth knife at his waist.
"Pah, pah, pah, pah!" The one with dirt all over her face was a female eagle-beast, with medium-length hair mixed with black and gray, the color of the feathers on her back, a black and white eagle.
The beastman, wearing a feather coat and with two feather decorations on the left and right of his head, like owl ear feathers, waved at Song Xu from afar, with an eager smile on his face and a pair of golden eyes as bright as the sun.
"Hi! Hi! I knew you were an orc. Hahaha, I thought you were a fox or a rabbit in the sky just now, but when you came down a little bit, I found out you were an orc. I haven't seen you nearby. Did you move here recently? I'm an orc from the cliff tribe over there, and my name is Huhu. You look furry, what kind of orc are you? I've never seen an orc like you!"
"My name is Song Xu, and I'm a squirrel orc."
"Squirrel? That's great, furry." Huhu said, and his eyes revealed his yearning for furry things.
Song Xu thought to himself, this Eagle sister is definitely a fur lover!
The tall and muscular Huhu put his arm on Song Xu's shoulder in a familiar manner: "Why are you here alone? It's windy here at this time of year. You're so young, be careful not to get blown away."
Song Xu hadn't seen an orc who was more familiar and talkative than himself for a long time.
"I didn't come here alone. My companions are waiting for me." Song Xu didn't avoid her hand, but looked at her curiously. "You just said you were an orc from the cliff tribe. There is a cliff nearby. Why didn't I notice it?"
"Hey, I can fly. It's not far for me, but it must be far for you if you run on the ground!" Huhu grabbed her fur with interest and invited her. "Are you curious? Why don't you come to my tribe to play? I just divided a new nest. The cave is very spacious! I can take you to fly there. How about it? Do you want to try to fly?"
It can be seen that this enthusiastic sister wants to show off her new home and flying skills so much that she recommends it so hard even when she catches a stranger.
"That won't work. I have a companion. Why don't you point me in the direction and we can go there by ourselves?" Song Xu's heart began to move when she heard her talk about the spacious cave.
"What's there to be afraid of? Is your companion also a cute little squirrel like you? If there are ten more like you, I can catch you and fly you to the sky. It's very easy. Don't think that I have just reached adulthood. My flying ability is already very good in the tribe. In this kind of weather, many beastmen of my age dare not fly here!" Huhu looked at Song Xu with greedy eyes, thinking that if there were all little squirrels like this, all squeezed into her cave, it would be so soft and warm.
Song Xu sighed with regret: "I'm afraid that won't work. My companion is a snake beastman, he is relatively large." It is estimated that it would be difficult for ten Huhu to fly.
Huhu was disappointed and didn't believe it: "Snake beastmen? How big can they be?"
Song Xu: "Why don't you come back with me to see?"
Huhu agreed happily.
Song Xu felt that many beastmen he met on the road, even those with bad attitudes, were basically simple-minded and straightforward. It might be because their living environment was too simple. They basically lived in the tribe all their lives. There were not many tribesmen, so there was little intrigue.
The eagle beastman who invited a stranger to his home the first time he met him, followed the stranger to his home without any sense of danger, but when he put his head into the cave and saw the huge snake inside, his feathers exploded and he jumped back several meters: "What a big snake!"
Wu Mu was watching the little mouse with grown fur crawling around in the cave, and suddenly saw a strange head looking around at the entrance of the cave, and heard Song Xu's laughter, so he knew that she probably brought a new friend to see him again. This happened often in the past, and she seemed to like introducing him to the beastmen she met on the street.
Song Xu stood at the entrance of the cave and smiled: "See, I told you that you couldn't move it."
Huhu's feathers stood up and then fell down again: "I... I really can't move it."
"Then I'll fly over and lead the way for you!" she said again.
Song Xu thought: "I won't go today. I'll wait until the wind is not so strong, and it's better to wait until there is sunshine and it's not so cold."
After that day, Huhu would fly over every day and ask Song Xu: "Are you going to go today?"
"Let's wait for two days. The wind is still very strong today." Song Xu said so, and Huhu didn't force it, and stayed here to play with her. She also brought Song Xu a gift, a branch with a bunch of fruits.
Song Xu, who hadn't eaten fresh fruit for a long time, looked at the bunch of orange-red fruits and was moved and surprised: "Where do you grow fruits at this temperature?"
Huhu: "They grow under the cliff. The temperature there is not low. If you like, I will bring some for you tomorrow."
Song Xu only heard the words "the temperature under the cliff is not low", which made her even more excited. She felt that Wu Mu's hibernation problem could be solved, and happily hugged Huhu: "Thank you, my friend!"
Huhu flew over to play with her on time every day, repeating the process of flying a few circles in the sky and then falling down. She actually flew well, but she had some problems with landing. Song Xu, who couldn't fly, gave her instructions: "When landing, your claws should touch the ground first, you can't touch the ground with your head."
Song Xu would occasionally transform into a squirrel to resist the cold wind. Huhu's hands would itch when he saw her furry appearance, so he suddenly landed and grabbed her into the sky.
Song Xu panicked subconsciously, but soon realized that Huhu had no intention of hurting her and was just playing. She quickly found her state and tried to open her eyes in the sky.
They were swinging in the wind, a bird and a squirrel. Huhu shouted excitedly, "I can fly higher!"
Song Xu held Huhu's bird claws tightly and shouted, "Higher!"
When they flew to a certain height, Song Xu saw a line in the distance, which did not look like the horizon, but more like a crack in the ground. But the wind was too strong for her to see clearly, and Huhu could not hold on for too long, so he soon brought her down to the ground.
Song Xu covered his chest, soothing his heart that was about to jump out of excitement, and asked hurriedly: "I seem to see a crack in the ground in the distance?"
Huhu: "That's not a crack, it's the cliff where our tribe lives."
Song Xu was stunned: "Isn't the cliff the kind of cliff on the mountain?
" Huhu: "It's a cliff on the mountain."
Song Xu: "But there are flat lands over there, where are the mountains?"
Huhu: "This is the mountain."
Huhu didn't know how to explain, so he could only urge her: "Go and see quickly!"
Finally, there was a day with no strong wind and sunshine, and Song Xu took the snake that had been refusing to hibernate and set off. Before leaving, he said to a nest of mice in the cave: "When you grow up, you will find food by yourself in the future, do you know?"
The ordinary mice only knew to squeak, watched them leave, and tentatively popped their heads out of the cave.
It took them two days to reach the cliff that Hu Hu had mentioned.
Song Xu ran over quickly and was shocked when she saw the scene in front of her. She had imagined what kind of cliff it was, but she never thought it would be like this.
The wasteland plain they had been walking on for a long time came to an abrupt end before their eyes, as if an axe had cut the plain in half and moved the other half away, turning the upper and lower parts into two separate worlds.
Standing on the edge of the cliff that looked like it was cut by a knife and looking down, the cliff was so high that you couldn't see the bottom. It was vertical and steep, and you could only see a cloud of mist below.
Under this lingering mist, the ground was covered with green jungles, and below was another endless forest.
If you look up from below, where they are now is on top of a thousand-foot-high mountain.
Huhu, who was used to this view, pointed to the cliff and said, "Our tribe is on the rock wall below. I can take you to see my nest, but your companions definitely can't go down."
Song Xu's eyes sparkled, "...Oh my god, it's amazing."
A shadow was cast from the top of his head. Song Xu looked up and saw a group of pterosaurs with wings flying over, gliding through layers of clouds and mist, and falling into the unclear green forest.
Huhu: "Those are primitive beasts. Those primitive beasts fly to other places every year and fly back after a while. But they are dangerous. The elders in the tribe don't allow us to get close to them."
Song Xu: It turns out that there is a dinosaur world below! ! !
