Chapter 296 The Witch King's Eagle
Looking at the cheering and cheering on both sides of the river, Xu Chen's face twitched so hard that he could hardly stop.
However, it took an hour to travel a river that is fifty meters wide. This is extremely inefficient. If there is a barge, it will take a maximum of ten minutes to travel.
But in his eyes, the slowness and backwardness, in the eyes of all the primitive savages, is super speed and advanced.
Except for some patriarchs and hunters of the Ji Cang tribe and the Gonghuo Alliance, most of the people in the Ba tribe have never seen a raft.
Even though Xu Chen took people to practice rowing in the river berth every day some time ago, even though he succeeded in crossing the river, the women, children, young and old of the Ba people had never seen a raft.
First, the distance is too far, and it is not easy to travel twenty miles.
Second, time is not allowed.
Women have to work hard, and children can only move within one or two miles near the foot of the mountain, and they are generally not allowed to go further areas.
Therefore, even Mother Ba and the little witch who are great witches have never seen a raft.
Although the little witch sister who has been staying in the Ukrainian tribe has heard of rafts, she can't imagine what rafts look like.
Therefore, among the thousands of people watching and cheering, the little witch sister was even more excited. Seeing Xu Chen's lazy and lazy look, her eyes were filled with little stars. She admired her so much that she wanted to lose her heavy scepter and shouted to express her excitement.
It is said that Xu Chen planned to arrange for hunters to take this raft down the river and go further southeast.
The little witch sister was very worried, and she thought the raft was floating on the water like wood, and then the man hugged the wood and drifted downwards.
Now she realized that the raft was completely different from what she imagined. It actually connected a lot of wood together and stood on it like a flat ground. So wouldn’t it be possible to go as far as you want along the river in the future?
If Xu Chen knew about the childish and simple idea of the little witch, he would naturally have to smile bitterly.
If there is such a good thing in the world, there will be no difficulties.
The two sisters have been like flowers in greenhouses since childhood. They have never experienced wind and rain. They are even worse than the wild survival and life experience of seven or eight-year-old children in the tribe.
They have knowledge far exceeding children of the same age or even adults, but they do not have enough experience and experience, so they cannot understand the harsh environment outside and the difficulties of survival.
The raft came and went three times, and it took nearly three hours to finally send a hunting team of more than 100 people to the other side, and it was almost noon.
"Speak, let's start!"
Time is tight and the team is on the other side. After sending the last batch of participating hunters to the other side for the third time, Xu Chen issued an order to start the competition.
"Woooooooooooooo~~"
With the sound of the horn, many hunters on the opposite side who had been waiting for a long time immediately screamed like a group of cheetahs and rushed towards various wild beasts not far away who were still eating grass leisurely.
The river bank is wide and weeds are overgrown. The weeds and thorns are yellow and messy, half a person is tall and one person is even a few meters tall. A large group of people, led by their respective hunters, quickly launched hunting and hunting on the river beach.
Wild beasts of all sizes began to escape from the river beach with screams. Hunters chased into deeper and farther areas one after another. Soon they could only occasionally see some figures running in the open space, or shouting one after another or chasing or killing the beasts.
However, the river surface is too wide and the distance is too far, so the observation effect is limited.
With the sound of the river flowing and the howling autumn wind, the sound of the other side gradually became silent.
I have already advised me before departure that hunting is limited to three miles up and down the river beach on the other side and the forest near the foot of the mountain. Each tribe should maintain a certain safe distance between each other, and the leaders of each team should also try their best to restrain the team members from acting alone without leaving the hunting team.
Because the other side is completely unfamiliar, although there are many wild animals, there must be many hidden dangers.
But he will not accept the orders of the kings outside the king.
With so many teams and completely unfamiliar and complex environments, Xu Chen couldn't manage them even if he wanted to do so. He could only ask for more blessings. Not being taken away by wild beasts would be blessed by the Ba tribe gods.
The first time I watched a hunting competition in a new environment, so even if I couldn't see anything, thousands of people were still interested. Looking at the situation on the other side from afar, occasionally seeing someone flashing or hearing the screams of people and beasts chasing and screaming, they wouldn't help but burst into screams and commotion, and they all guessed which tribe's hunter successfully again.
Xu Chen didn't have so much boring interest, so he brought Long Hefeng and other groups of hunter leaders, and told them to take advantage of the competition to quickly take people downstream to find traces of wild horses.
So a group of people rode their horses happily and left in a mighty manner. The momentum was even larger and more exciting than the team participating in the hunting competition.
Xu Chen asked two big eagles to carry onto a flat and open river beach near the pier and try to train flights.
In a blink of an eye, a year passed, and the two young eagles also grew into two real big eagles. They were extremely majestic. They stood up one meter high, and their wings spread more than two meters, and they looked very fierce and fierce.
However, Xu Chen knew that these two guys were really silver-shaped gun heads, which were not useful. Apart from looking down on your eyes and being pecking people, they were almost ruined after more than a year of raising them.
The four big furry flesh wings were covered with plump feathers of black, gray, white and yellow. Occasionally, a strong wind could be felt when you pounce a few meters in a circle.
But in fact, these two eagles have never flew past and cannot fly at all.
One is that no one teaches them to fly, and the other is that the venue is not suitable.
Large birds cannot fly as soon as they want to fly. They require an extremely open environment. Raptors such as eagles usually live on cliffs. When taking off, they have to rely on strong wind to fly. Their huge wings are mainly used to drive, rather than swelling like sparrows. When they fly high enough, they can spread their wings and enter a gliding state. With the help of the rise and fall of the airflow, they can float in the air and look down at the world all day without any effort, becoming nightmare angels for various small animals.
In addition, any young birds will be accompanied by their parents to educate them. They are generally demonstrated and encouraged. Of course, there are those who are too brave and will be thrown off the cliff. They will live if they can fly, and die if they cannot fly.
In the eyes of Raptor fathers, you can lose your life, but you must not be embarrassed.
If it is an eagle, I have to fly.
So under the manic education of the eagle fathers, the feathered eagle can quickly learn to fly, spread its wings to face the wind and rainstorm, and soar in the blue sky to become the overlord of the air.
But the two eagles raised by Xu Chen's family are different. They have been abducted and sold since childhood. They have changed into clay pots, and then tied them to wooden racks to eat, drink, sleep and daze all day long. They don't know what flying is, and they don't know what the two big meat wings that have been drooling for a long time are used by Xu.
Spring is too small, summer is rainy, autumn is too busy, Xu Chen doesn’t have much time to train these two eagles this year. When he remembers to train, he realizes that it seems too late.
The most important thing is that these two guys are too big and he can't find a way to train.
In novels, film and television works, ancient people usually trained hawks, which are not very large in size. They usually use animal skins to make protective gear and put them on arms or shoulders.
Even Hai Dongqing, who is relatively large, is not as big as the two little eagles now.
But the two eagles in front of me were not only big, but also felt dazed when they were full all day long, and they felt it was difficult to flap their wings.
Some time ago, Xu Chen took him to the river beach and drove him around. The two birds almost fell down from exhaustion. Later, when they were pulled out, the two birds were collectively scattered and stood on the ground like two half-human-high woods. They were unwilling to walk no matter how they drove them. Occasionally, they took a few steps like asking for credit and wanted to eat fish and meat.
Faced with this situation, Xu Chen has begun to give up his hunting ideal of pulling Huang and Qingcang on the left.
Taking advantage of the hunting competition today, Xu Chen decided to take two big eagles to the river to see the world, and use the more empty venue here to try to see if they can train to fly.
As for whether he would run away, Xu Chen didn't care. According to the lazy urination of these two guys, they would probably not prey even if they flew. In the end, they either starved to death or licked Bilian back to the courtyard to eat.
There is a copper ring on the ankles of the two big eagles. This is a mark made by Xu Chen. The words "Patouille Witch King Eagle" are written on it. For safety, they will tie one leg with a rope to tie it to a wooden frame to avoid pecking people everywhere.
Under Xu Chen's arrangement, the two hunters drove the two eagles from the wooden rack and threw them on the ground.
The two big eagles were obviously not very happy. They flapped their wings and pecked around with their sharp beaks. They tilted their heads like a demonstration and looked at Xu Chen, as if they were saying that they didn't want to walk today.
But Xu Chen would not be abusive to these two guys.
Although he has been looking for domesticated poultry, he never wanted to raise two big eagles to lay eggs. The main reason is that the gain is not worth the cost. These two guys are so edible that they must have big fish and meat all day long.
He felt that he could not afford it.
Today I either fly for me or stew mushrooms with eagles.
The eagle is so big that it can’t be stewed in one pot, I can stew two pots.
"Go~"
Xu Chen blew his bone whistle and drove away the horse whip. Although the two eagles were very unhappy, in order not to be beaten, they could only jump around on the river beach and grass, and began to play hide-and-seek with Xu Chen.
Seeing Xu Chen coming, he flapped his wings and jumped a few times. Seeing him turn around and leave, he immediately stood on the grass as a wooden stake.
After more than ten minutes of rushing back and forth, Xu Chen was exhausted and sweaty, but the two eagles were there and there was no motivation to fly, and even shouted contempt at Xu Chen.
"I won't believe it today!"
Xu Chen's temper also rose.
Riding on his own pony, chasing two eagles back and forth, running on the grass.
The situation immediately improved a lot.
Under the pressure, the two eagles could only flap their wings and start running faster. Under this pressure and pressure, the two big eagles seemed to have begun to slowly understand the magical use of their wings, which is that they would run very lightly with just a few flappings, especially when facing the wind, and occasionally they could even float up and take a few steps in the air.
Although these movements look clumsy and ridiculous, the nature of flying in their bones still makes them look like birds.
But even so, the two big eagles could not fly. They could just run faster with the help of wind, but they were still not enough to see the horse's speed.
Therefore, the situation at the scene seemed to be that the two big eagles were chased by Xu Chen on horseback and fled around the river beach, making panic and angry screams.
“Yeah~~”
Above the clear and crisp autumn sky, you can see more or less circling eagles circling high at any time.
It seemed that I could hear the cry of two big eagles on the river beach, or maybe I saw that my kind of people were chased so miserably. In the sky near the river beach, there were more and more eagles circling in the sky, gradually reaching dozens or hundreds of them, circling and crying in the zenith like a competition, and some even kept diving down, as if they wanted to observe closely.
"See if you see it, that's your kind, see how high others fly!"
Xu Chen rode a horse and ran around and ran around, pointing at the more and more eagles in the sky and shouting loudly.
So, the two big eagles seemed to understand, looking up at the sky from time to time, then flapping their huge wings hard, trying to make themselves fly too so as to get rid of the villain riding behind them.
Finally, a big eagle flew up, flapping its wings and flew out of the ground and soaring into the air, flying enough to exceed the height above Xu Chen's head. Then, in Xu Chen's surprise eyes... he fell head-on.
The withered weeds were rolling and crushed into a long trace.
The big eagle falling to the ground lying on its back with its wings scattered on its back.
When Xu Chen got off the horse and went to observe, he found that this guy was breathing hard with his eyes closed, and he was obviously exhausted and almost exhausted.
This is so bad physical strength!
"Don't pretend to be dead, get up and fly for me!"
Xu Chen speechlessly turned the guy over and lay on the ground, poking it with a horse whip, but the guy was lying on the ground without moving. He was too lazy to move his sharp and flexible mouth, and it seemed that he had completely turned his body and was unwilling to spread his wings and fly.
The other big eagle was so tired that she lay more than ten meters away and stretched her neck to watch her companion's situation. Seeing Xu Chen's eyes looking over, she quickly buried her head under her wings and pretended not to see it.
Xu Chen was so amused and crying.
