Tsk—
accompanied by the sound of the bazooka, the eagle leader Rui suddenly jumped up, and then the bazooka swooped down and flew over Rui's head. Rui's agile hands tightly grasped the bazooka's claws, and just like that, one man and one eagle took off from the floating island.
Luo Chong, who was by the salt lake, was still leading a few people to wander around the periphery of the hyena group, shooting a few arrows at the hyenas from time to time. At this moment, the shadow of a pair of giant eagle wings suddenly passed on the ground, but there was a long shadow dragged under the shadow.
The wings are indeed from the giant eagle, but what is it dragging under it? Luo Chong looked up and suddenly felt unwell. Where did the eagle catch a living person? !
The Eagle leader Rui, who fell under the Bazooka, was also surprised. He originally thought that these people were here to collect salt, but after seeing it with his own eyes, he realized that he was wrong. These people were riding on the backs of wild beasts, holding strange weapons in their hands. They seemed to be hunting, hunting the group of spotted hyenas?
The hyenas were attacked by arrows continuously, and they no longer fought for the bodies of their own kind. Instead, they began to run away. This
group of humans riding wild beasts seemed to be quite powerful. On the other hand, Luo Chong and his men had already begun to chase the hyenas. There were more than 20 spotted hyenas just now, but now there were only 18 left, and Luo Chong and his men were still chasing them.
The Bazooka in the sky put Rui on the ground, next to the bodies of the hyenas that had just fallen. He pulled out a few more bronze arrows from the bodies. The arrowheads with barbs were very sharp, and the arrowheads were made exactly the same. The material was not stone or wood, but a material that Rui had never seen before, so he came to a conclusion.
This is a strange group of people.
The hyenas ran away quickly, and Luo Chong and his men did not continue to chase them, because too many feather arrows were wasted. Longbows are not easy to use on the back of deer. In addition, the warriors have not practiced horse archery, so the hit rate is very low. It takes five arrows to hit once. Luo Chong's own hit rate is not very good.
Seeing the hyenas escape, Luo Chong decisively ordered to give up the pursuit, turned back to the direction of the salt lake, picking up the feather arrows shot on the ground along the way, and soon met Rui by the salt lake, because that guy was also picking up feather arrows.
"Is that eagle yours?" Luo Chong asked Rui, who was holding a feather arrow, with gestures.
"Are these short spears yours?" Rui also asked Luo Chong curiously.
"Well, please give me those arrows." Luo Chong nodded.
"What are these made of? Your weapons are very good. This is the first time I have seen them. Can you give me one of these things?" Rui looked at the exquisite bronze arrows in his hand and was reluctant to part with them.
Luo Chong looked at the strange man who fell from the sky, and then glanced around. They just circled around this small salt lake, and didn't see any other figures. Therefore, it was impossible for someone to suddenly appear nearby, unless this person was on the floating island just now, so he fell from the sky
. After thinking carefully, Luo Chong nodded: "Okay, then I'll give you one."
Rui saw Luo Chong agreed, and happily returned the remaining feather arrows to Luo Chong.
"Your weapons fly fast and far, because they are tied with feathers, right? My bazooka can also fly fast and far because of the feathers."
"Bazooka?" Luo Chong repeated the strange word.
"It's the eagle raised by our tribe. The bazooka is the most powerful one." Rui replied.
"Your tribe? Do you live on this floating island?" Luo Chong asked in surprise. This is actually an eagle-raising tribe living on a floating island. It's really weird.
"Yes, what about you? Aren't you here to collect salt? Why did you come so far here? Hunting? The meat of those coyotes is not tasty." Rui pointed to the hyena corpse on the ground and said.
"We are not hunting or collecting salt. We just heard that there is a small island floating in the sky, so we came to see it." Luo Chong pointed to the floating island and explained.
Hearing Luo Chong say that he was here to see the floating island, Rui immediately became alert.
"That island is our territory, you can't..."
"No, no, no, you misunderstood. I just came here to find a stone that can make that island fly. It has nothing to do with you." Luo Chong immediately interrupted Rui's warning.
Luo Chong's words stunned Rui. To be honest, although their Eagle Tribe has lived on the floating island for generations, they don't know why the island is floating in the sky. They only know that there is a kind of sacred eagle living on the floating island, so they think that this is a fairyland where the sacred eagle lives.
But now, suddenly, several people riding wild beasts and holding strange weapons appeared, saying that they were looking for a kind of stone that could make the island float. This seemed incredible. Rui was very interested in Luo Chong's words in an instant.
Humans are always full of fear of unknown things. When they cannot understand the scientific principles, they will naturally feel awe. But when they suddenly discover the secrets hidden behind the unknown, they will have great curiosity. This is exploration and learning. Therefore, human beings will progress and dominate a planet.
"You said that this island floats in the sky because of stones? What kind of stones?" Rui asked very curiously.
"I just came here and haven't found it yet. Didn't we just drive away the group of hyenas? Otherwise, I can't look for it carefully. Okay, I'm going to find something. Thank you for your eagle just now."
After Luo Chong said these words, he took a few people to look around.
Dali and the others did not get off the back of the deer, but kept riding the deer to guard around Luo Chong. Anyway, they don't know how to find minerals. Even if you put a piece of ore in front of them, they may not recognize it.
Eagle leader Rui ordered the bazooka to fly to the sky for alert, and then followed Luo Chong to watch him look for stones.
"Hey, why are you following me?" Luo Chong looked at Rui speechlessly.
"I want to see what kind of stone that is. Is it big? What does it look like?"
"I haven't seen it yet, don't talk." Luo Chong rolled his eyes and continued to search the ground carefully. The
area near the salt lake is bare. The salt and alkali content here exceeds the standard and is not suitable for plant growth. Therefore, the ground is full of large and small stones and red soil, as well as many white stones.
On a huge whitish stone by the lake, Luo Chong suddenly found that the pattern on it was very strange. It seemed to be a fish. Someone painted on the stone by the salt lake? That was impossible.
When Luo Chong swept away the salt on the surface of the stone, a fish skeleton soon appeared on the stone. It seemed to be a fish fossil.
