Chapter 120: Weird metal

Views:

Because he was looking for crop seeds, Wu Dongfang's flight was not very high and his flying speed was not fast. At sunset, hundreds of birds returned to their nests, and Wu Dongfang began to look for a place to stay tonight.

He had lived with the prince in the wilderness and deep mountains for a long time. He was used to seeing all kinds of snakes, insects, birds and beasts. He didn't find it strange when he encountered some strange-looking birds and beasts on the road. In general, 90% of the birds and beasts in the Xia Dynasty were similar to Today's birds and beasts are the same or similar, with only a few that have never been seen before. Since there is no hunting and intrusion by humans, today's birds and beasts are generally larger than modern birds and beasts.

In the end, he chose a mountaintop to settle down. The surrounding situation was unknown, and it was safer to be on the top of a condescending mountaintop.

After landing, he first released the prince, and then began to look for firewood to make a fire. Having spiritual energy is like having money. Everything is easy to do. Firewood is easy to find and the fire is better.

The prince ran back after finishing his convenience, "Lighting a fire on the top of the mountain will easily expose us."

"What are you afraid of?" Wu Dongfang said casually.

"Are we in a foreign country now?" The prince yawned. He stood on the copper plate for a long time, feeling full of wind.

"Not sure." Wu Dongfang shook his head and said. There were no national borders at this time, let alone regional markers. He himself didn't know where he was now.

"I'm going to find something to eat." The prince ran towards the south slope.

"Let's go together." Wu Dongfang was worried, threw a few pieces of firewood into the fire, and quickly followed the prince.

Not far away, the sound of cackling birds came from the woods ahead. Wu Dongfang pushed aside the leaves that blocked his view and found a group of strange pheasants in the forest. They were different from the pheasants he usually saw. These pheasants were black-feathered. Yes, the paws and eyes are red.

While he was secretly observing, the prince had already rushed over first. The pheasant was frightened and screamed and scattered. The prince jumped high into the air and bit a fat male pheasant with a long tail.

"Bang." Before the prince landed, the male pheasant exploded in his mouth, with feathers flying and intestines flying.

"Are you okay?" Wu Dongfang stepped forward to catch the disgraced prince.

"Damn it, it's the insect canal." Although the prince's face was covered with blood, the blood was not from it. The pheasant explosion was not a bomb explosion, and it was not very powerful.

"Insect Canal?" Wu Dongfang put down the prince.

"A bird that explodes when it gets angry. There is no such bird in the Xia Dynasty anymore." The prince shook his head and shook his hair.

"You go back first, I will go back in a while." Wu Dongfang walked down the mountain.

The prince did not go back, but followed quickly, "It's safer for me to be with you."

Walking to an open field, a badger that was digging for food jumped out in fright. Wu Dongfang extended his spiritual energy and caught it back. Just when he was about to fall to death, the prince screamed from the side, "Throw it away."

"Why?" Wu Dongfang thought the badger he caught was a pregnant woman. When he turned his head and saw that it was a male, at that moment, the badger let out an extremely smelly fart and made a loud noise, "Pfft."

Wu Dongfang threw the badger away with his backhand and moved sideways to avoid the smell. It was too late to avoid it, but he was still covered in the stench.

"Now you know why?" The prince smiled.

"Why does this thing still fart?" Wu Dongfang frowned.

"Most of them can't. The one with white eyebrows can. Fortunately, you threw it out early. If it were a little later, it would spray feces." The prince said with a smile.

Just as Wu Dongfang was about to answer the call, he suddenly discovered several tall green plants growing not far away, with strings of acorn-sized green fruits hanging on the trees. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be betel nuts.

"There are actually betel nuts at this time." Wu Dongfang walked towards the betel nut tree.

"That stuff tastes terrible," the prince said from behind.

Wu Dongfang didn't answer, jumped up and grabbed a bunch, picked one and put it in his mouth. He didn't like to eat betel nuts and wasn't used to the taste. Burmese like to eat this. If you eat too much, your teeth will be seriously corroded and your lips will be damaged. It will also turn purple. When he was on his last mission, the drug lord who jumped off the cliff with a parachute had black teeth.

"Hey, let's go." The prince urged.

Wu Dongfang came to his senses and followed the prince.

After walking not far, the prince found a cobra. It was not afraid of this thing. It swung its head and bit it to death, then held it in its mouth to Wu Dongfang, "Skin it for me."

"Aren't you afraid of snake venom?" Wu Dongfang asked. Although the prince was not bitten by the snake, his movements in catching snakes were very bold and not cautious at all.

"Don't be afraid," the prince said.

Wu Dongfang didn't ask any more questions, and squatted down to help the prince peel off the snake skin.

It is easy to find food in autumn. There are many wild fruits in the mountains. After the prince is full, he will be able to make do with it.

Back at the top of the mountain, he began to meditate to gather energy. When there was enough time, he would replenish the lost spiritual energy through meditation. Only in critical moments would he catalyze the remaining energy-replenishing pills in his body. The Qi Neidan is almost exhausted, and now only the one in his arms is left.

After nightfall, wild animals begin to come out to look for food. From time to time, the roars of various wild beasts are heard in the mountains. In addition, there are also the screams of the prey before they flee. There are wolves in the mountains, and the wolves will howl. In modern times, wolf howls are considered very common. It's scary, but now, compared with those weird sounds, the wolf howl is the most beautiful.

"Is there a fire to the west?" the prince said.

Wu Dongfang was practicing Qi and did not respond.

"Look, is that fire?" the prince urged.

Wu Dongfang collected his breath and entered the sea. He opened his eyes and looked to the west. He saw a yellow light on the upper part of a mountain peak hundreds of miles away in the west. The light was very weak, but very stable, with no fluctuations or changes in light and dark.

"Let's go and take a look." The prince encouraged.

"It doesn't look like fire." Wu Dongfang shook his head and said.

"Forget it, let's go during the day." The prince was worried about the danger and lay back down again.

"It doesn't look like the eyes of an animal either." Wu Dongfang added.

"It's safer to go during the day." The prince yawned.

"If the sun shines during the day, you might not be able to see that light. Let's go and have a look." Wu Dongfang stood up, and the condensed copper plate took the prince and flew westward.

At first he was still cautious, but as he got closer, he found that the light was very stable and there was a yellow halo on the outside. It should be something like a gemstone or a luminous pearl.

When he was a few hundred meters away from the yellow light, he saw the source of the yellow light. What he didn't expect was that it was not a gem or a luminous pearl, but a strange yellow metal stuck halfway up a mountain with few trees. , palm-sized, curved, a bit like half a clam shell.

Wu Dongfang tilted his head and looked at the prince, and found that the prince was also confused, which meant that the prince did not know what this piece of yellow metal was.

After confirming that there was no danger around, Wu Dongfang slowly approached the piece of metal. The yellow light emitted by the metal did not become dazzling due to the shortening of the distance.

When Wu Dongfang was a hundred steps away from the metal, he stretched out his hand, and his spiritual energy came out, trying to control the piece of metal, but the extended spiritual energy failed to catch the piece of metal.

This is a piece of metal that is not controlled by gold energy. The only metal that is not controlled by gold energy is meteorite.

The piece of metal got stuck in the stone crevices of the mountain. Wu Dongfang took back the copper plate and walked over to take out the piece of metal. He found that it was very light and not as heavy as gold and copper. The metal had obvious polishing marks and was very smooth. There were no patterns on the whole body. .

"What is this?" Wu Dongfang looked at the metal in his hand in confusion. This thing was very shallow and did not look like a container that could hold things.

"It should be part of some kind of armor." The prince said.

"Armor?" Wu Dongfang tilted his head.

"Looking at the size, it looks like it's covering the knees." The prince added.

Wu Dongfang put the yellow metal in his hand on his right knee, "No, it's too small."

"Maybe it's the armor worn by women." The prince said.

Wu Dongfang nodded. The prince's guess was reasonable. This thing was probably the knee pad part of a complete armor. However, this thing obviously does not belong to the five tribes, because the metallurgical technology of the five tribes is not enough to smelt meteorites. The sunset bow It is ground raw, not cast after smelting.

"This thing should have been left here a long time ago." Wu Dongfang looked at the crack in the stone where the metal was.

"Maybe it's the armor of a foreign wizard." The prince tilted his head and looked at the metal in Wu Dongfang's hand. Although this thing was very bright, it was not dazzling.

"It's unlikely." Wu Dongfang shook his head and said. This piece of metal has no holes for binding. If it is really the knee pad part of the armor, then the person who uses it needs to use spiritual energy to absorb it to the body. This will cause problems. Yes, this thing is made of meteorite, and his spiritual energy cannot be controlled.

There are only two possibilities for controlling the meteorite. One is that the owner of the armor comes from the same place as the meteorite, and the breath it emits is the same as the armor. Another possibility is that the armor is not attached to the owner by aura, but by something else.

Both possibilities are possible. If it is the former, it involves life beyond the earth. If it is the latter, what the foreign gods practice is not Reiki.

"What did you find?" the prince asked.

"I didn't find anything." Wu Dongfang tried to put the metal into the Qiankun bag.

"You didn't find anything, why are you laughing?" The prince tilted his head and asked.

"This piece of metal is very interesting." Wu Dongfang said. After the metal was put into the Qiankun Bag, its size increased. To be precise, it was not that its size increased, but that the Qiankun Bag failed to make it smaller. Everything in the world is made of Made of Qi, the Qiankun Bag cannot change its shape, which means it does not belong to the world.

Then he began to observe the surrounding plants. After confirming that the surrounding plants were no different from the plants in the distance, he put the piece of metal into his inner pocket. Things like meteorites are usually seriously radioactive. If there is Strong radiation will cause various mutations in the surrounding plants. The absence of changes means there is no radiation, or there is no malignant radiation.

"Are you still asleep?" Wu Dongfang asked.

"I'm not sleepy anymore, let's go." The prince said.

Wu Dongfang nodded and set off again with the prince. There must be no one around here. If there was anyone, this piece of metal would be picked up long ago as it emits light every night.

This time his volley was very fast. He eagerly wanted to go to the west to see what foreign civilizations were like in ancient times...
