Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said: "Okay, I told you that we are fully prepared. Besides, with a field expert like Elena, what are you afraid of? All you have to do is keep an eye on the boat." Liu Junxi looked at Elena
, although I am still worried, I can’t say anything else. I can only pray that the young master will retreat when the time comes.
The Wilderness Continent is relatively desolate. There are steep mountain walls and gravel-strewn canyons everywhere around Port Moore. Vehicles are completely impassable, and even horses are difficult to use. Therefore, Fang Xiaoyu's expedition team traveled on foot. Entering the interior
After that, Fang Xiaoyu started to ask Xiaofeng to open the scan at all times. All the situations within a radius of 600 kilometers were displayed in Fang Xiaoyu's mind exactly. The amount of information made Fang Xiaoyu, who was not used to it, feel in a trance.
With Fang Xiaoyu, the humanoid radar, they bypassed dangerous areas and advanced inland. Since they often had to go around valleys, they traveled for a whole day and only covered about 30 kilometers in a straight line. However, these three
Ten kilometers away, Fang Xiaoyu has discovered a large iron mine, a large coal mine and a medium-sized gold mine. However, the gold mine is buried deep and is difficult to mine, and the grade of the iron ore is not high. However, the coal mine is very good, and it is anthracite coal of the highest quality.
The mines and ore seedlings are not deep from the surface, so even open-pit mining is very easy, and Fang Xiaoyu finally discovered why the wells were filled with salt water.
It turns out that the coastline of the Wild Continent is mountainous and the inland is slightly lower than the sea level, so the surface water layer here is connected with the sea water. However, with Fang Xiaoyu's 600-kilometer exploration distance that ignores any obstacles, it is easy to find that there are two kilometers below the surface.
The aquifers on the left and right have already turned into fresh water. Although drilling a well at this distance is a bit laborious, with the advent of steam engines, machine-driven wells can be built, so pumping water will not be a problem.
Fang Xiaoyu was very happy to be able to solve the water source problem for development here. When camping at night, he happily took several team members to hunt. After struggling for a long time, he did not gain much and only caught a few hares. Under the command of Elena
Next, the team members roasted the hare, and everyone used their own dry food to slightly improve the food.
Since everyone had drank all the water in the kettles during the day, Fang Xiaoyu asked them to gather the kettles in a tent. He secretly took out fresh water from the equipment warehouse and filled all the kettles. This surprised the team members. Although the team members
The look in Fang Xiaoyu's eyes was a little strange, but Fang Xiaoyu didn't pay attention at all.
These people are all his subordinates and his liberated slaves. They are very loyal to him. As long as he doesn't tell, no one will ask. As for the rumor, it is even more difficult to keep secrets. These members of the Iron-Blooded Guards who are loyal to him must keep secrets.
He was still very conscious of it, but since then the team members respected him a little more.
The team members took turns to keep vigil. Due to the large number of people, each person was on duty for only one hour. This did not have any impact on everyone's physical recovery. Since they brought enough food for a month and a large amount of ammunition, the supplies were still very sufficient. Fang Xiaoyu
I decided to go to the inland areas again, maybe I can gain more.
The deeper they went inland, the terrain began to become more complicated. Fang Xiaoyu and the others climbed the steep cliff three times in one day, which was a bit overwhelming for the members of the Iron-Blooded Guards, who had extraordinary physical strength. Fortunately, everyone used ropes to climb the steep cliff together.
, and they were not afraid that anyone would be in danger, but the speed of advance in such terrain was not flattering. They only rested twice except for meals, and marched until the evening before advancing more than ten kilometers. That night, Fang Xiaoyu and his team members
We no longer had the energy to hunt game anymore, so we all ate some dry food and fell asleep.
For five consecutive days, Fang Xiaoyu and the others have advanced more than 120 kilometers inland. Primeval forests began to appear in the depths of the continent, and game was more abundant. They even discovered a large river. According to Elena's wilderness survival experience,
They started walking up the river.
Fang Xiaoyu limped in the middle of the team holding a wooden stick. Although his body had been transformed by bioelectricity, he was only eleven years old after all. Running around like this for days was still a bit too forced for him. Now he only
I can barely keep up with the team.
Elena, who had been following Fang Xiaoyu, said to him: "Master, let me carry your things." Fang Xiaoyu straightened his chest and said, "It doesn't matter, I can still go. Besides, let a girl help me carry my things.
How do you want me to meet people in the future?"
Elena raised her lips slightly and said: "Is it embarrassing to ask a girl to help? But you are only eleven years old, you are still a child." Fang Xiaoyu said: "Don't always be a child, a child. You are only fourteen years old.
That's all." Elena said: "But I grew up in the wild, and when I was ten years old, I could carry a hundred kilograms for cross-country travel."
Fang Xiaoyu said in surprise: "My dear, are you elves so strong? But you are also very slim, why don't you feel powerful?" Elena said sadly: "This is the result of survival of the fittest, all elves who are not strong enough
There is only one way to die. Our supplies are too scarce. Only the strongest elves can survive. Only one of every ten children among us can survive. Therefore, our number has never been large, even after thousands of years of reproduction.
One million. As for being slim, that is a characteristic of our elves, and it has nothing to do with strength, because our strength comes mostly from bones rather than muscles."
Fang Xiaoyu nodded as if he understood. He did know the social structure of elves. The elves are very similar to the Spartans on earth. They were born to fight. Each elf will be trained after birth and then released into the wild.
, let nature eliminate them, so that stronger elves can be obtained. Different from the Spartans, they pay more attention to training in wild survival and hunting, and this training is done by both men and women. "It will get better in the future.
As long as I am alive, I will definitely let the children of the elves grow up as safely as humans." Fang Xiaoyu could only comfort her in this way now.
While walking, Elena suddenly signaled the team to stop. She carefully walked to a pile of black objects, picked up some and put them under her nose, smelled them and said: "We must be more vigilant, there are big wolves here."
The excretion time of these wolf excrements does not exceed five hours." Everyone became nervous after hearing Elena's warning.
Fang Xiaoyu immediately asked Xiaofeng to search for the wolves with all his strength. Sure enough, a group of more than a thousand wild wolves were approaching them. Although these wolves did not detect them, they blocked their only way. Looking at the nearby terrain, here
It is a valley with a relatively narrow passage, which is very conducive to defense.
After observing the surrounding situation, Fang Xiaoyu immediately made arrangements: "You immediately start digging trenches along the valley. The trenches must be at least two meters deep and five meters wide. After a few people come over to cut wood, we will build simple fortifications to prepare for the fight against the wolves."
Fortunately, for this expedition, everyone was well-equipped. The team members not only brought folding shovels but also many axes. The trenches quickly began to be dug. This is a valley, and the narrowest point between the two mountains is only more than 70 meters.
, the wood was quickly cut down, and Fang Xiaoyu and his people made the wood into a simple parapet and piled it behind the trench.
Fang Xiaoyu was still staring at the wolves all the time while working. The wolves were getting closer and closer, and their speed began to increase. It was obvious that these wild wolves had noticed their existence. Fang Xiaoyu felt it and found that he was on the side of the wolves.
On the windward side of the group, those wolves downwind must have smelled the breath of living people before heading this way.
Fang Xiaoyu was sweating profusely. The breast wall was just half constructed, and the trench had only been dug for more than one meter. With the agility of the wild wolf, it only took one or two leaps to cross it. The wild wolf was getting more and more
They were only one kilometer away. Fang Xiaoyu immediately ordered everyone to stop, line up behind the parapet, and load all the guns with ammunition. As soon as the team members lined up, a pack of wolves appeared in the distance.
There are thousands of wolves, but Fang Xiaoyu’s side only has thirty-two people. Now all they can hope for is the lever-action rifle and revolver in their hands. The first round of testing by the wolf pack quickly started, and more than thirty wild animals
The wolves moved towards them. When the wolves reached the ditch, they hesitated for a while.
Seeing that the speed of the wolves had slowed down, Fang Xiaoyu immediately ordered to open fire. Thirty-two rifles opened fire at the same time, quickly killing all the wild wolves. Fang Xiaoyu's side took the lead, but unfortunately this performance did not calm the wolves that were ready to move.
Seeing that there were few people on Fang Xiaoyu's side, the wild wolves began a large-scale attack. Fang Xiaoyu and the others fired faster and faster. Fortunately, the Lanting Type 1 rifle had a loading port on the side, so it could be loaded as needed, relying on intensive firepower.
Only then did they barely stop the attack of the wild wolves. At this time, more than a hundred wolves were lying on the ground.
