Chapter 232 Journey Underground
"Ouch!"

Zhang Tian has been in Ziyan's "car" before, and he knows that female drivers are not easy to mess with, so he has made physical and mental preparations before starting the car. However, the kick of the accelerator was far more than expected, and he was instantly overturned and fell to the ground. A man lying on his back!
Lin Yu, Zi Yan and Wolf Boy were motionless. The power of Huangshi kept them relatively still with this underground space, and even inertia had no effect on them.

The cave is moving in the direction Zi Yan is facing, which is the north.

Being in the ground, there is no reference object, so it is impossible to judge the speed of movement, but judging from the acceleration process, it should be much faster than when Ziyan is steering alone!

It's a pity that the phosphorescence of the luminous stone is too dim, otherwise Zhang Tian would be able to see the frightened expressions of Zi Yan and Wolf Boy.

The abilities of the two of them are on par. Using Huangshi alone can sense the road conditions within hundreds of meters in diameter, and their respective moving speeds are just right. If there are non-stone obstacles ahead, such as underground rivers, old tree roots, etc., They can detect and evade in time more than ten seconds in advance.

But now, the perception range of the two has not increased significantly, but the moving speed of the cave has increased several times, and the original reaction time of more than ten seconds has dropped to less than five seconds!

Both of them were terrified, as if they were racing in the fog, which was both exciting and scary.

Such a fast speed was beyond Zi Yan's control. She stopped issuing instructions, and the dominance transitioned to Lin Yu's hands.

The "subway" entered a stage of smooth operation, and the "carriage" fell into a long silence.

Zhang Tian was bored. When he saw the three Nuwa descendants holding hands as if cheering for a team building, standing motionless like a sculpture, he couldn't help complaining: "I said, do you have to keep this posture all the time? Aren't you tired? "

"I'm really tired. Let's sit down."

It got even funnier after I sat down, making it look like a live Qigong practice.

After a while, maybe the arms started to feel sore, the women gradually narrowed the distance between each other, and finally almost stuck together, and the arms naturally fell to the ground. During this process, the hands of the three never left Huangshi.Contact with the five-color stone is a necessary condition for its function to be exerted.

Sitting there was a bit boring, but Zhang Tian still tried not to say anything.

Now, they are located at least ten meters deep underground. The initial content of oxygen depends entirely on how much space they built when setting off. There is no additional oxygen supplement during the journey. Keeping silent is to reduce oxygen consumption.

I don't know how long it took, but Zhang Tian felt that his breathing began to become uncontrollably rapid. This was a sign that the oxygen concentration had decreased and the carbon dioxide concentration had increased to a safe limit.

He reminded: "It's time to go back to the ground for air."

Before he finished speaking, the three female drivers slammed on the brakes. Zhang Tian was caught off guard and rolled forward like a ball, hitting the rock wall with a bang and screaming in pain!

He was about to get up when the sudden and intense feeling of overweight immediately pushed him ruthlessly back to the ground.

The cave rises quickly!
The earth slowly opened to both sides like an automatic door, and bright sunshine and fresh air poured in like a tide. Along with it, a family of screaming prairie dogs, a terrifying number of worms, and dung balls of unknown origin fell. , and lush meadows falling like raindrops.

All the non-stone objects fell down, and the three women quickly put on their straw hats. Only Zhang Tian, ​​who was still lying on the ground, could not react in time and was drenched all over his head and body.

Grass!So much grass!
Zhang Tian jumped up like an electric shock, swearing and slapping his body.

The women laughed when they saw his embarrassment.

"Dr. Lin... you must have failed the driving test, right?" Zhang Tian gritted his teeth.

Lin Yu laughed even louder and came over to help him clean up the debris in his hair.

Zhang Tian raised his eyes and saw that his eyes were full of green, and the endless sea of ​​grass was swaying in the wind.

They returned to the grassland again. Looking around, there was no forest in sight. It was obvious that they had traveled a long distance.

The scorching sun was in the sky, and the sun was only slightly lower in the west than when we set off. This trip shouldn't take too much time.

So fast!

Zhang Tian estimated it and found that the speed was much faster than when Zi Yan drove alone!

Dr. Lin is still amazing, she joined the bicycle directly into a motorcycle, no, it almost turned into a sports car!

I can’t really compliment my driving skills, but here I am driving a violent motorcycle...

Although he was mentally prepared, the wolf boy was still surprised when he returned to the ground.

She often travels between the forest and the grassland, and is quite familiar with this area. She can roughly judge where she is now and how far away from the forest she is, so she has a clearer understanding of Lin Yu's power.

Zi Yan was also secretly surprised, thinking that no wonder she could calm my anger that I couldn't calm down, her strength was stronger than me and the wolf boy combined!
Go home.

Lin Yu drove more steadily this time, and Zhang Tian also learned his lesson and didn't make a fool of himself again when he returned.

All this happened in the eyes of Wolf Spider and Viper. When they saw the earth split open and swallowed up the Sky Witch and others, they screamed in fright, grabbed the tiger's thick arm and called for help in a panic.

There is no need to understand the forest language, Hutou can guess what the two people are yelling at, because he also witnessed that scene.

He said nothing, just patted Tarantula and Viper on the shoulders and gave them a thumbs up.

In fact, everyone in the Sky Clan seemed very calm. They had already learned about the existence of Huangshi from the Sky Priest. They had seen the power of Baishi, Qingshi and Red Stone. Huangshi could no longer surprise them. On the contrary, if Huangshi They would be surprised if it was ordinary!

At this time, seeing the earth open its bloody mouth again, and spit out all the four people that had been swallowed before, the tarantula and the adder only felt that the two were fighting, as if they had seen a ghost.

"Do you want to go to the mountain tribe with us tomorrow morning?" Zi Yan invited, "If you are here, go on the same day and you can come back the same day!"

"Okay!"

Considering that the wolf boy was needed to guide the way through the forest, if they came back one day earlier, they would be able to set off one day earlier, so Lin Yu agreed.

Zhang Tian suddenly asked: "What is the maximum space you can maintain?"

If the space is large enough, they can take the underground passage, and it will only take a day or two to cross the forest.

Lin Yu understood what he meant, shook his head and said: "For the [-] people, not only must everyone be accommodated, but also enough air must be reserved, at least a space as big as a football field is needed!"

"Walking through the forest is no better than the grassland. If you float to the ground at will, what will fall down will not be grass, but trees. Do you think how many people will be killed?"

"It may be possible to transport it in batches, but that would be too troublesome, and Yellowstone is not ours, so the wolf boy may not be willing to cooperate."

Zhang Tian sighed, what Lin Yu said was reasonable, it seemed that the shortcut would not work, he could only imitate Tang Monk and endure the calamity honestly.

"Will you go with us tomorrow?" Lin Yu asked.

"I won't go. Let the crow go with you. He has this intention and can also be your translator." Zhang Tianke couldn't bear to stay in a closed underground space for a whole day, not to mention he still had Something else to do.

……

"thump!"

"thump!"

The men jumped into the river one after another, splashing water.

I have nothing to do these days, and the men have gone into the water to practice swimming. We can't always let that boy Xiao Xiao take the limelight, can we?They also want to enjoy the attention of women and teach their younger sisters how to swim.

It was absolutely impossible for them to put down their pride and ask Xiao for advice. In the eyes of the men, Xiao was just a young man whose hair had not yet fully grown, so Aba became a hot gold medal coach and lifeguard.

The people by the river were stunned. This group of elders jumped in the water more violently than children who were just learning to swim, and all the fish were scared away!

After the others swarmed into the water, the owl stopped swimming. He was stuck among a group of big men, unable to show his ability.

He started working on something new.

Fishing net, a tool he had never seen before.

Although fishing with a fishing net is not as interesting as fishing, it is more efficient. Make a nest first and then cast the net. If you cast a net, you can catch one or two fish at least.

After the people on the riverside escaped, Xiao Xiao picked up a fishing net from the other party's camp. In the past two days, he imitated the people on the riverside and cast the net to catch fish. At first, he couldn't cast the net. Later, he gradually mastered the trick and became more like a fisherman. Looks like.

The weaving of fishing nets is very particular. I don’t know what kind of bark the riverside people’s hemp ropes are made of. They are thin and strong. The weaving skills are even more superb. Almost every rope is arranged equidistantly, and every hole is regular. Size... He still hasn't figured out how he made it up.

Fortunately, the man from the riverside came back, and Xiao immediately took the fishing net to ask the eel for advice. He has always been eager to learn, and even if he didn't understand the language, it did not affect his enthusiasm for new things.

The eel has the most contact with this group of guests who have come from afar. Watching the owl point at the fishing net and gesture, you can understand what he means.

It was more troublesome to explain. He gestured and said: "We have to prepare food for the migration. Each fisherman must catch as many fish as the knots. I will teach you how to weave the fishing net after I complete the task."

"Let me help you! I can also use a fishing net now!"

The fishing net that Xiao picked up probably belonged to a dead fisherman, because no one has found him yet to ask him to return it.

The two of them walked towards the shore holding the fishing net, and suddenly saw a familiar figure squatting on the shore digging in the mud.

"Oh my god! What are you doing?"

Before Zhang Tian could answer, Xiao had already guessed: "Are you planning to make pottery?"

"To be precise, he planned to teach the people on the riverside to make pottery."

Opening up wasteland is not an easy task. It was Zhang Tian who guided the people along the river to embark on this road. He believed that he had an obligation to provide some help. Pottery and agriculture are a perfect match. Since he has taught the cultivation of grains, of course he must also teach pottery. Make.

There is a busy scene in the camp of the riverside tribe. Everyone is preparing for the upcoming migration. Before the rainy season is over, the sooner you can embark on the migration, the better. If you arrive at your new home one day earlier, you can reserve cold storage one day earlier. Food for the day.

Seeing the Sky Witch, everyone greeted her respectfully. Thanks to his mediation, they were able to reach a reconciliation with the wolf boy, as well as the miraculous food grown... Everyone by the riverside was grateful.

Zhang Tian smiled back and asked the miko Suzuran where she was.

When she found Lily of the Land, she was weaving baskets with several women, and when they learned of the purpose of the sky maiden's visit, they immediately put down their work and called for friends.Even the witch Pansy came upon hearing the news.

Zhang Tianxian showed the finished product: an orange-red pottery bowl.

"This is a pottery bowl. I think you should have heard about it. Now, let me teach you how to make a pottery bowl."

The women were very excited. They had been coveting this kind of beautiful and durable bowl for a long time.If anyone gave them such a bowl, they would be willing to mate with that person for a whole day, and the Sky Witch actually said that she would teach them how to make it!They simply don’t know how to repay them!
Zhang Tian did not expect to receive anything in return. He was happy to teach the skills of his ancestors. At the most, he was promoting the progress of human civilization. At the least, he might be one of his ancestors among these people!

He grabbed a piece of wet soil from the bag and handed it to Suzuran.

"This soil is called clay, and it is the raw material for making pottery."

Everyone passed it around in turn, surprised and confused, unable to connect the sticky and soft soil in their hands with the hard and smooth pottery bowl.

"First remove the gravel and leaves from the clay, squeeze out the excess water, and then shape it into the shape you want..."

Zhang Tian said and made a small bowl.

"If you want to turn a clay bowl into a pottery bowl, you need to use the power of fire. After drying the kneaded pottery, bury it with firewood or dig a hole and bury it and burn it."

Suzuran and the other women silently remembered the words of the Sky Witch in their hearts.

Zhang Tian buried the small bowl in the fire, looked at the sky, and said: "When the sun rises above our heads, put out the fire at this time. Because it has not been dried, it may burn to pieces, but the soil will definitely It has become as hard as this pottery bowl. Remember to dry it before firing, so that you can make a shaped pottery bowl."

It doesn't sound difficult, and it sounds fun!

"Can I try?" Suzuran was eager to give it a try.

"Of course, the power of the flame is very powerful, and a lot of pottery can be fired at one time."

Zhang Tian handed over the bag containing clay, and the women immediately rushed forward to squeeze the clay.

He stood up, wiped the dust off his butt, and walked towards the witch outside the crowd.

Sumire's old face glowed. She knew very well how precious the knowledge imparted by the Sky Witch was. She sincerely praised his generosity and also gave gifts in return.

A bag full of flawless white pearls, beautifully shaped shells, exquisitely polished clam slices, all luxuries that only witches can use, but compared to the bag of clay gifted by the Sky Witch, these things are nothing. .

Zhang Tian did not refuse, accepted it calmly, and asked casually: "When do you plan to set off?"

"Tomorrow. What about you?"

"Same."

He paused, suppressed his smile, and said seriously: "After leaving the forest, walk towards the north. You will pass many places with mountains, water, and woods. Those places are suitable for settling down. Planting grains may not be easy at the beginning. If everything goes well, you will encounter some difficulties, but don’t give up easily, and of course, don’t forget to look up at the sky.”
