Chapter 411 Two suns

Shao Xuan still returned to helper Jia Heng to share some burdens. After all, in this way, he could also speed up leaving this place occupied by the monkey.

The monkeys in this area are not so friendly. Although they are not big, they are very difficult to deal with. According to Gong Jiaheng, these monkeys like to eat human brains. He once found several human corpses in this forest, all of which were skulled.

Who can find this place?

Therefore, if you can't fight with these monkeys head-on, you will suffer a great loss. Leaving as soon as possible is the most correct way to do it. Since the two of you are together, you must always help each other.

Originally, Gong Jiaheng thought that Shao Xuan, a young man who came to this place for the first time, would encounter many difficulties. He took action at the right time to save face and hit the boy, but he didn't expect that things would turn the matter the other way around.

For this reason, when the two ran away from the area occupied by the monkey, Gong Jiaheng's expression was a little stiff, and he didn't know what to say. When he thought of himself making an excuse for his fellow travelers, his old face turned red and he just said thank you dryly.

There were unwilling screams from monkeys and pounding branches in the woods behind them, and they seemed very angry. They didn't stop a single intruder and were thrown far away by the two of them. They didn't even touch the human skin.

After leaving Monkey's territory, the two of them kept rushing to the road. Shao Xuan didn't need to find him anymore. Gong Jiaheng led the way directly. He had been here so many times and was familiar with this place.

There are some rivers around that are not too wide, similar to those seen in the hunting grounds in Yanjiao. During the dry season, I will see the riverbed. I don’t know which tributary this line was divided and extends to this place.

Some smaller crocodiles and other aquatic animals live here. It is not yet the season when the river water is dry, and you can hear various sounds made by animals in and around the river from time to time.

A python slowly moved in the grass by the river, lazily, and ignored other animals around him because it was full. When Shao Xuan passed by not far away, he saw a bulge and swollen body of the python, which was estimated to be based on its shape. Perhaps the python had just swallowed a crocodile.

During the beginning of the journey, Gong Jiaheng told Shao Xuan that he had mentioned what he needed to pay attention to, so Gong Jiaheng did not need to remind him again. Shao Xuan safely avoided those lurking predators.

Shao Xuan did a great job, not like the first time he came here. Because of this, Gong Jiaheng has never found the opportunity to give advice to Shao Xuan, which made Gong Jiaheng feel more and more. The excuse he made for accompanying him was really redundant, and he felt very depressed. He could only sigh that the tribes living in the mountains and forests are indeed very suitable for jungle action.

Two days after departure.

"At this speed, we can get to the resting place before dark," said Gong Jiaheng.

Because he often comes here, there are several Gong Jiaheng who can rest on the way as a fixed place for rest. When he was looking for Gong Jia Mountain, he found a cave on a certain mountain, which is very suitable as a resting place. At that time, there were many snakes and insects in the cave, and he also specially used medicine powder to drive it away. In the future, he would use medicine to smoke it there every time he left, so as not to become a nest of snakes and insects during his departure.

Before the sun set, the two of them arrived at the mountain that Gong Jiaheng mentioned. The mountain was steeper and there were various moist mosses on the mountain walls, which were slippery when they stepped on, but it was not a problem for Shao Xuan and the others.

"It's here!" Gong Jiaheng looked at the big stone blocking the entrance of the cave, and there were some green powder traces. This was the medicine he slapped when he went back last time, and it had not completely disappeared. It means that there should be no insects and snakes in the cave, and there is no need to waste medicine to remove it.

"Hold it, I'll move the stone away." Gong Jiaheng handed his package to Shao Xuan, moved his shoulders, supported his hands on the stone, and suddenly pushed it to the other side. The stone was heavier than the crocodile he hunted, and it was still a bit difficult to push.

Suddenly, Gong Jiaheng felt the resistance lighter and the stone quickly moved away to the other side.

"Hey. I didn't ask you to hold the things, you push them..." Gong Jiaheng originally wanted to say that Shao Xuan could just hold the things well, why should he push the stones?

Due to the material limitations, he is very fond of the weapons in the package. If he loses them, he is hard to pick them up. However, many people who jump in the sky are over-curious and love to steal things. They can't throw things down and push the stone. However, Gong Jiaheng turned his head and found that Shao Xuan was holding everything from the two of them in one hand, but did not put them down, and the other hand was pressed on the stone to push.

"Push... well pushed." Gong Jiaheng finally only put these words in his mouth. He thought to himself: Is it so powerful?!

However, as a fellow traveler, with Shao Xuan's help, Gong Jiaheng really felt that it was much easier to go and search this time.

It used to take at least three days to get here from the start, but now it is only two days. Gong Jiaheng has to admit that Shao Xuan is still a little capable.

The fire was lit and before dark, I went out to hunt a small beast. After dealing with it, I took it back to the cave to roast it.

"When I first came here, I thought about building a house, but later I found out that it was better to find a cave." Gong Jiaheng said while barbecuing meat.

"Our tribe also lives in a cave when he goes out to hunt." Shao Xuan talked about the situation during the hunting.

In the past, Gong Jiaheng did not understand the life of jungle hunting. After he had experienced it for twenty years, he was no longer curious and did not ask much.

It was a bit cool at night, the wind was strong outside, and the entrance of the cave was not deep, and the ignition of the fire was whizzing and whirling. Shao Xuan walked to the entrance of the cave, moved the stones, leaving a smaller gap to prevent the night wind from blowing in and affecting the fire.

Seeing Shao Xuan easily move such a large stone, Gong Jiaheng felt sour in his heart: "You Yanjiao people, do you have such a lot of strength?"

"Well, our tribe has a lot of human strength."

"It's quite suitable for forging. Speaking of which, I seem to have heard the name of your tribe before, but it's too long and I don't remember it." In the past, Gong Jiaheng focused mainly on forging, and many things were just listened to others casually talking about them. He didn't understand more and was not interested in understanding them. Later, looking for Gong Jiashan, the information became even more obscured.

After a full meal, Gong Jiaheng turned off the fire and planned to rest, but saw Shao Xuan take out a glowing crystal, take out a beast skin roll and a strange round pen, and write and draw on the beast skin roll with light.

"What are you writing?" Gong Jiaheng asked.

"Supplementary map." Shao Xuan said.

"What are you doing when drawing a map? How many more times are you going to come?"

"have no idea."

"It's good to be able to go back alive. Don't think too much. As a real boxer, I have been searching for twenty years but haven't found it. You kid still want to find it once? But it doesn't matter if you can't find it. It's a training." Gong Jiaheng said in a comforting tone. In fact, he himself was looking forward to finding it once, but after hitting it again and again, Gong Jiaheng has been ready to fight for a long time and will not give up. If it weren't for getting the materials that were too far away and could not trade with other tribes, Gong Jiaheng would want to live here directly.

However, Gong Jiaheng was still a little curious about the map drawn by Shao Xuan, so he came over to look at it. He had seen Shao Xuan's map drawn by cracking the cloud patterns, and it was only a few simple strokes at that time. Now, it has become much richer. The places they passed by, monkey forests, ponds, shrub areas, and even several mountains were marked.

"Why is it empty here?" Gong Jia Heng pointed to a place on the animal skin roll.

“I haven’t been there.”

"I've been there! I'll tell you..." Gongjiaheng pointed to the blank space on the map and talked endlessly. He had been there when he was looking for Gongjia Mountain. Although it had been a few years, he still had a vague impression.

After saying that, Gong Jiaheng said again: "When you go back, I will borrow a copy of your picture." Shao Xuan marked some simple and effective ways of maps and Gong Jiaheng admired it very much. He also wanted to get one.

"Okay." Since Gong Jiaheng is so happy, Shao Xuan is not uncomfortable, "I will draw another copy for you then."

Hearing Shao Xuan's words, Gong Jiaheng was satisfied. At this time, he felt all the fatigue coming and he was full of sleepiness.

"If you go to bed early and don't have much rest, you will feel better!" After two days of rushing, both physically and mentally, they were very tired, just like they had been using gold weapons for more than ten days in a row. It was already very rushed to rest for only one night. Is this kid still staying up late?

"Yes." Shao Xuan continued to write quickly.

Seeing this, Gong Jiaheng didn't say much, so that this kid would regret it.

However, when Gong Jiaheng woke up the next day, he found that Shao Xuan was in better spirits than him, and even went out to hunt early in the morning and dragged his prey back for breakfast.

Just as Gong Jiaheng was about to say something, Shao Xuan asked in surprise: "Master Gong Jia, why are there two suns outside?"

When I came yesterday, although it was almost sunset, there was indeed only one sun. In the past, Shao Xuan only saw one. He went out to hunt this morning and found that there were two suns in the sky! Where did the other one pop up?

After being asked by Shao Xuan, Gong Jiaheng didn't care why Shao Xuan had such a strong recovery. He showed a deep smile on his face: "You're scared to you only two suns? If you find more suns in the sky later, how do you stay?"

Shao Xuan was silent for a little while and asked tentatively: "Illusion?"

Gong Jiaheng was even more surprised. If others heard that they would encounter more suns in the future, they would be scared and asked about the reason. Unexpectedly, Shao Xuan even said the core.

"That's right." Gong Jiaheng walked out of the cave, looked up at the two suns in the sky, and sighed: "If Gong Jia Mountain was so easy to find, there wouldn't be countless people buried here!"

Whether it is people in the mountains and forests or people in the cities under the control of slave owners, they judge the direction and timing based on the movement of the sun. But what if the movement of the sun changes? The two suns in the sky will not affect their forward route, but the more such illusions, the more difficult it is to judge, and the decision will be seriously disturbed.

Although the two suns in the sky were not far away at this time, it is indeed difficult for people who are not familiar with this place to judge.

"Do you know which sun is real?" Gong Jiaheng asked this, his eyes couldn't help but feel a little proud. However, thinking of Shao Xuan's divination skills, he was a little expectant, "Why don't you dig one?"

Gong Jiaheng went to find the straw rope. Shao Xuan closed his eyes and opened them over there, looked at the sky, and pointed to the sun slightly leaning to the left: "That's true."

Gong Jiaheng took a piece of straw rope and was excitedly planning to hand it to Shao Xuan to watch the divination skills and consider Shao Xuan's divination level. Hearing this, he paused and threw the straw rope down.

"How did you make a judgment?" Gong Jiaheng asked.

"Guess."

“…” (To be continued.)
