Chapter 2582 Accident
After a long journey, it was already autumn when we arrived in the eastern part of the mainland again, but this time we took a different route from the one we came down from the Holy Snow Mountains. The more this route goes, the more sparsely populated it becomes. At first, you can still see some villages. After passing through the Country of Fish, you can easily see areas where humans gather.
On the airship, Du Jinna looked through the albums collected by her ancestors: "Further north in the Kingdom of Fish, there is no state-like political power. But there are still tribal groups who make a living in the forest by hunting. There are herders on the Mulu Peninsula and Ergou Peninsula. The herders are humanoid deer that resemble humans and horses. They are already at the very edge of human civilization. It has not yet been determined whether it can be recognized as a member of the large human group."
Hughington sighed: "The places your ancestors have been are really far away. Have you ever been to such a place? ?”
Du Jinna is quite proud: “My family has always had a spirit of adventure and exploration. We have gone south to Xiju Island, the southernmost tip of the subcontinent. It is an island where countless migratory birds stay. Going north to the Arctic Circle, we have witnessed the wonders of hundreds of days of extreme sunlight. Going east to the mountains and seas, the waves there are endless, like mountains one after another. I went west to the edge of the Lost Ocean and recorded the sea conditions there." She turned over the map and said, "But the Ergou Peninsula further north here belongs to my grandfather's generation. The farthest place they have ever been, and the only records recorded after that are virgin forests without any human habitation. Celeste, the watch land you mentioned should be in the northern part of the Mulu Peninsula, and the local hunting tribes are the furthest away. This area is therefore called Watching Mountain and Watching Forest. As for Fuqingyouland and Divine Paradise..." She shook her head and expressed doubts.
Bing Zhixie said: "I have a map here. Let's look at it when we get there. We should be at this location now." He drew a few strokes on the map. He would be able to enter the western part of the Mulu Peninsula in two or three days.
When the airship flew here, there were suddenly more birds and beasts in the sky. After looking at the dense and uniform forest below for a long time, it was dazzling. It felt like it had been flying in the same place, with only the changes in the surrounding birds and beasts. Only then can they confirm the regional changes.
Actually, they are not quite sure where their position is, because there is no reference for them to identify, and they can only roughly judge based on the previous itinerary. This judgment must be biased. Fortunately, the compass, sextant and other necessary tools on the airship are all ready and sensitive. Even if there is a bias, it shouldn't be too far off.
It was past ten o'clock in the morning, and Eva started to cook in the kitchen. Dujinna, Lund and the others were chatting, because the four of Lund and the others were hunters, and they were wondering if they could help them. Capture a satisfactory monster as a guardian replacement.
The four members of the Rose Knight Mercenary Group, except for Narcissus Gulia, who is introverted, soft-spoken and shy when speaking, Rose Tinu, Song Cuckoo Xinu and Lund are all cheerful A cheerful person, Du Jinna is a familiar person and has been very familiar with them for a long time.
On the contrary, Halls, who was born as a real Orion, seemed out of place. He rarely talked to others and was always alone in a daze, immersed in his own thoughts. In fact, Halls himself is not a taciturn and dull person, at least that's not how Bing Zhixie knew him before.
Because there were more people on the boat, they chatted in groups at the bar and dining table. Especially the two sisters Tinu and Xinu, as well as the women Dujinna and Alice, had endless things to say when they got together.
Suddenly, the airship shook twice, and everything inside became quiet.
“Is there something wrong?” Ruola stretched her neck and listened. Then there was another shock, and then there was the sound of metal objects breaking.
"There was a real malfunction, and the sound came from below." Hullington said.
Ilyich, who was in the cab, came out and said: "The pressure gauge failed, maybe the air pressure valve is broken. I lowered the altitude and checked."
"Yes." The Fuxing airship descended At the height of a tree, the bilge is about fifteen meters from the ground. Hullington and Lund each stepped on a branch and checked the bottom of the cabin. Before they opened the bilge door, several cantaloupe thunder wasps caught their attention.
There was a burst of electric light magic, and there was a buzzing sound in the eyes. The two people quickly jumped down from the tree, and a large group of big and small thunder wasps buzzed around. The flashing electric current on the wasp tail needle brings a strong stinging and numbing sensation.
Thousands of Thunder Hornets flew downwards, trying to attack the two people who disturbed them. But at the same time, they alarmed a large group of birds in the woods, and the trees were filled with birds and thunder hornets fighting each other.
Generally speaking, thunder bees or thunder hornets are very afraid of birds in the forest, but these thunder hornets are extremely aggressive and will not retreat in the face of natural enemies. The woods suddenly began to rain with corpses of various birds and thunder wasps. However, Hullington and the others on the ground escaped unharmed.
Everyone covered their heads and looked up, watching a great battle in nature. After all, it was the birds in the forest that won the war. The dead and injured thunder wasps twitched the last electric current before death. Their heads were missing, and corpses with broken wings and tails were everywhere. Some big birds have begun to enjoy the delicious meal. However, the people who took the airship were able to gain a lot of money and picked up many rare birds for food.
Xinu sighed softly: "The thunder wasps here are so brave, they are not even afraid of natural enemies."
"But how come there are so many giant bees under the bottom of our airship? ? When did they make a nest inside?" Du Jinna pulled out and inserted it into the boot. The long sword in the cabin cut off the huge honeycomb nest in the bottom cabin, and took a look at the situation inside: "The pipe is broken, and there are several places where the current has broken down. Several cabin skeletons have broken here. It should be the current. Metal fatigue caused by overheating. "She used to do mechanical maintenance to make ends meet.
"Can it be repaired? Sister Dukina." Eva was still wearing a cooking outfit and holding a spoon in her hand.
Du Jinna glanced down and said with a smile: "This is a small problem, but we need some materials and parts. There should be spare parts on the boat."
However, there are not. There are some spare parts on the boat, but there are many spare parts. They are components of various instrument panels and mechanical hubs. In order to save space and weight, and prepare more food and water, some things have been omitted.
Du Jinna shook her wavy hair and said: "This is easy to handle." She raised her chin and said: "Let him refine some metal materials and make a few pipes."
Seeing her looking at him, Alchemy Hullington suddenly became unhappy: "Hey, hey, Dukina, who do you think I am? My alchemy is not to create some pipeline for you. My alchemy is used to make the best materials in the world and the most powerful weapons and armors. How can you treat me as a repairman? If I want to repair, it is worth repairing! The weapons and equipment I use are not for repairing pipelines!”
