Kong Zhi planned to take Xia Lunong out, and before leaving, he specifically told Xia Huoqu.

Xia Huoqu thought for a moment, agreed, and warned: "Don't run too far."

The two agreed, and Xia Lunong was afraid that his brother would worry, so he emphasized, "Let's go to the bamboo forest outside the base. There is no danger there."

Xia Huoqu: "There are snakes there, bamboo green snakes."

Xia Lunong shuddered, and immediately said: "It's okay, Kong Zhi has good eyesight."

Kong Zhi assured, "I will bring him back safely."

Xia Huoqu was obviously more relieved about Kong Zhi, and his expression eased a little. He warned: "If you have any problems, just shout, we are all active near the Great Wall, and we can pick you up in time."

After saying goodbye to his brother, Xia Lunong asked: "We will go out now."

"Wait a minute, let's go find Brother Zhang and the others first." Kong Zhi carried Xia Lunong's backpack, looked around, and took Xia Lunong to where Kong Zhi and the others lived. As they walked, he said, "They have special straps for the orcs."

Xia Lunong was puzzled, "What is that?" "

The straps to tie people to the backs of orcs." Kong Zhi said, "Brother Zhang has the straps I used before, which are the most suitable for my size."

Xia Lunong understood and nodded to show that he knew.

Kong Zhi put his arm around his shoulder and gently pushed him forward, "Let's go."

The two walked along the main road to the house where Zhang Shihai and the others lived.

Xia Lunong originally thought that only those teenagers were at home, but she didn't expect that when she went there, Zhang Shihai was also there.

Zhang Shihai was reclaiming the yard with a hoe, and the stones, tree roots, plastic sheets, etc. he found during the reclamation process were thrown into a pile.

Xia Lunong glanced at the pile. Judging from the size of the pile, Zhang Shihai and his team had been working for quite a while.

"Kong Zhi?" Zhang Shihai saw Kong Zhi's figure during his work break, straightened up and pounded his back, and said with a smile, "And Brother Xia, you guys are here? Come in and have some tea--"

Kong Zhi said, "No need to greet me, I'm here to get the suspenders I use."

"Okay, I'll get it for you." Zhang Shihai pounded his lower back, put down the hoe, took out a cigarette from his trouser pocket, and walked in while smoking, "I have put away the suspenders. I just washed and dried them two days ago. Xiaoyun and the others also carefully checked and repaired them. They are very sturdy."

Xia Lunong followed him into the house, peeking all the way. Seeing that there were many things in their house, she asked, "Brother Zhang, you will stay in the base from now on."

"We'll all stay, except for a few people." Zhang Shihai returned to his room and came out with a black suspender, smiling, "We'll be from the same base from now on."

Xia Lunong looked at Kong Zhi and said, "That's great, I was worried that you guys would leave."

This was for Kong Zhi to hear.

Kong Zhi looked back indifferently, with no expression on his face.

Zhang Shihai looked at his movements and laughed, "Are you worried about us or Kong Zhi? Don't worry, Kong Zhi voted to stay when we had the meeting that day."

Xia Lunong scratched her head and smiled.

Zhang Shihai walked out with them and asked, "Are you going out now?"

Kong Zhi: "Yes, take him out for a walk."

"Then you can change back to your beast form, I will teach Brother Xia how to use this sling, and then help you check it out, it will be safer."

"Okay."

Kong Zhi did not hesitate and took off his clothes in the open space.

Xia Lunong turned his back quickly.

"Jie——" The sound of wind and the cry of an eagle came from behind. When Xia Lunong turned around again, Kong Zhi had disappeared, replaced by a giant eagle in the open space.

The giant eagle was crawling on the ground, and the black pupils in its yellow eyes were looking at Xia Lunong motionlessly. When he saw him looking over, it nodded slightly.

Xia Lunong looked at his majestic appearance and couldn't help but reach out and touch his wings gently.

Zhang Shihai smiled: "What do you think? Kong Zhi's beast form is majestic, right?"

Xia Lunong nodded heavily, "Mighty!"

Zhang Shihai was a little proud, "I know so many people, but Kong Zhi is the only beastman whose beast form is a golden eagle."

Xia Lunong only then knew that Kong Zhi's beast form was a golden eagle, a particularly fierce eagle. She couldn't help but widen her eyes and looked at him carefully.

The more he looked, the more handsome Kong Zhi's beast form was, and envy flashed in his eyes.

Zhang Shihai threw part of the long strap onto the giant eagle's back, and Xia Lunong only then saw that there was a cushion-like thing in the middle of the strap, with four long straps extending from the four corners of the cushion, and there were straps on the cushion.

Zhang Shihai called him, "Come on, I'll teach you how to use this harness."

Xia Lunong hurried over.

Zhang Shihai put the harness across Kongzhi's back, with the seat cushion in the middle. He pulled out the four straps, wrapped them around Kongzhi's wings, crossed them around his abdomen, and then wrapped them back around Kongzhi's back, tying a knot on the seat cushion.

"That's it, wrap it around a few times, tie it tightly, and it won't fall off."

Xia Lunong gently pulled the rope, and seeing that it hardly moved, she also felt that it was very strong.

Zhang Shihai helped Xia Lunong climb onto Kong Zhi's back, "Sit on the cushion and stretch your legs to the middle of the rope loop - yes, that's it, then pick up the rope loop and pull it to your shoulders alternately, put the suspenders through, right? Pull the left suspenders to your right shoulder, and the right suspenders to your left shoulder, that's it."

Xia Lunong put on the suspenders according to Zhang Shihai's instructions.

After putting them on, he was tied up tightly, a bit like the effect of wearing protective equipment when riding a pirate ship in an amusement park.

Zhang Shihai checked carefully, let Xia Lunong put on the backpack, and said to them: "Okay. Brother Xia, remember to reach out and grab the feathers on Kong Zhi's back. Grab more. It will hurt if you grab less."

Xia Lunong quickly grabbed it and made sure it was firm. He said to Kong Zhi: "I'm fine."

Kong Zhi nodded to Zhang Shihai, stood up and ran a few steps, then spread his wings and flew on the spot.

The wind blew up from the spot, making Xia Lunong unable to open his eyes.

He lowered his head and looked down. The base was getting smaller rapidly.

He saw the whole picture of the base, the city wall, and the hydropower station that his brother was building.

Xia Lunong waved to his brother excitedly. His brother looked up and saw the giant eagle in the sky, and also waved to them.

Kong Zhi did not linger over the base for long. After reaching a sufficient height, he flapped his wings and flew out of the base.

After the giant eagle took off, it was much faster than a human walking on foot. In just a few breaths, they had already flown to the edge of the base.

Xia Lunong felt very excited and looked down excitedly.

The giant eagle had a very clear purpose. After flying out of the base, it dived directly down.

A strong sense of weightlessness came over Xia Lunong. He squinted his eyes, half lying on Kong Zhi's back, looking at the sky beside him, the base and trees under his feet, and the distant ocean - he was completely attracted by these scenes.

The wind whistled past his ears, his heart was beating violently, and at that moment, he even felt incomparable freedom.

"Ah--" Xia Lunong roared excitedly.

The giant eagle's wings paused for a moment, then continued flapping and flew down, soon gliding to an open space.

The giant eagle stood firmly on the open space, Xia Lunong was still a little dazed, he let go of the giant eagle's feathers, stretched out his hands to rub his cheeks, his cheeks were cold after being blown by the wind, and it felt like rubbing two pieces of dough.

This feeling was very wonderful, he couldn't help laughing.

"Jie——" the giant eagle said, motioning him to get off.

Xia Lunong pulled the straps on his shoulders with difficulty, tried to untie them, climbed down from the giant eagle, and then slid down from him like a slide along his feathers.

His hands and feet were a little stiff, he jumped hard on the spot, moving his stiff hands and feet, and was about to untie the rope on Kong Zhi's body.

The giant eagle flashed and turned back into a human form on the ground. Seeing him like this, Xia Lunong hurriedly turned his back.

Kong Zhi's voice rang out from behind, "Backpack."

"Oh!" Xia Lunong didn't dare to turn around, and just handed the backpack back.

The sound of zippers, the sound of clothes rubbing, the sound of footsteps and other sounds rang in Xia Lunong's ears, and his earlobes turned a little red.

"Okay." Kong Zhi said.

Xia Lunong turned around, and Kong Zhi was already dressed and was collecting the ropes on the ground.

It was a bit troublesome for Kong Zhi to wear this set of equipment when he turned into a giant eagle. He had to tie it up bit by bit, but it was easy to take it off. After turning back into a human form, the huge rope noose automatically fell off from him.

Xia Lunong went over to help and asked embarrassedly, "Did I hurt you just now?"

"No." Kong Zhi finished speaking, and then looked up and added, "You are not strong enough."

"...Oh."

Kong Zhi put the huge backpack on his back and pulled him with his hands, "Let's go. Watch your feet."

Xia Lunong's heartbeat accelerated again.

They had already landed on the ground, surrounded by dense forests. There was a large expanse of blue sky above their heads, but the dense forests around them blocked part of the blue sky. When they looked up, they looked like frogs sitting at the bottom of a well and watching the net.

Xia Lunong quickly regained her mind and paid attention to her feet.

There were weeds and vines under her feet.

The weeds were too dense, covering the soil tightly, and she couldn't see what was under her feet at all.

The endless sea of ​​grass stretched to the end of the sight, looking somewhat scary.

Kong Zhi took his hand, broke off a branch from the side, and leaned forward to clear a path, "Listen carefully, if there is any movement of living things in the grass, we can hear it."

Xia Lunong nodded.

The grassland they were in was very close to the forest, and there were bamboos a few dozen meters ahead.

Because it was not artificially planted, the bamboos were scattered here and there, not in a large scale.

There were weeds all underfoot, and for safety, they walked very slowly.

Xia Lunong's heart was pounding, and she held Kong Zhi's hand tightly, and sweat even came out of her palms.

Theoretically, as beastmen, they could indeed hear the movements in the grass.

In fact, there are so many living creatures in the dense forest, and they can't hear every one of them, and they won't pay special attention if they hear them.

Xia Lunong moved forward step by step, and suddenly whispered: "I regret it a little."

"Regret it?"

Xia Lunong nodded, "I don't want to eat bamboo shoots that much, it's too dangerous here."

Kong Zhi looked back at him and said, "The whole land is so dangerous now."

Xia Lunong pursed her lips.

Kong Zhi looked ahead again, "The base is indeed very safe, but it may not be an infallible fortress."

Xia Lunong said nothing.

Kong Zhi rarely continued, "We have experienced so many earthquakes, and a big earthquake may happen again at any time. If we encounter such a thing, we will always have to leave the safe zone again."

Xia Lunong took a deep breath, "I know."

Kong Zhi continued to lead him forward, his tone as calm as usual, "As a pure human, you really shouldn't take risks, but orcs are different."

Xia Lunong turned around and looked at him subconsciously.

Kong Zhi looked into the distance, "If orcs want to become the masters of this world again, they must hone themselves."
