wild trail

Chapter 389 Stranger

The prey decomposed quickly. The three-meter-long amphibians were cut into several pieces and brought up in batches, and the idlers put them near the camp.

It took more than an hour to finish all this. The hot weather and strenuous physical labor made everyone sweat.

The team members took off their shirts and tied them around their waists, and sat on the ground shirtless to rest.

"We'll have to use the internal organs of this thing to try this pool in a while. We must ensure that this place is completely safe." The captain's voice sounded in everyone's ears.

The rest of the people agreed with this suggestion. After all, compared with fatigue, their own lives are still the most important.

Hiding in the shade of a tree and resting for more than half an hour, people collected the scattered internal organs.

Zhou Yu took a handful of intestines and threw them vigorously into the pool, but until the intestines sank, there was no response from the water surface.

Seeing this situation, most people thought that the pool was safe, but as the captain of the expedition, he had to be responsible for the names of his subordinates. The bait sank into the pool without seeing what happened.

"This tentative method won't work. We just killed one of these things. It won't work to lure it ashore with bait in a short time. I think we should use another method to see if there is any such thing in here. "

"Any good ideas, Captain?"

someone asked.

"Well, I think we should make a big fishing rod, similar to fishing, tie the bait to the fishing rod and put it in the water pool. If there are large beasts, if the bait does not move within a day, it basically means, The pool is now safe."

The captain said in a deep voice.

Everyone thought that this method was feasible, and everyone hurriedly made this special "fishing rod" without caring about continuing to rest.

It is said to be a fishing rod, but it is actually a long and thin piece of wood, as long as it can hang the bait.

People cut down two small trees four or five meters high, connected the two pieces of wood, and made a support with thicker wood for the weapon, so that the fishing rod could be fixed by the pool.

After several hours of busy work, the huge fishing rod was finally prepared. A lump of more than ten kilograms of meat was hung on the straw rope, and four or five people carried it to set the fish up by the pool.

The heavy bait bends the fishing rod a little, so people are very worried that the fishing rod will break if the prey is not attracted.

Fortunately, after looking at it for a while, the fishing rod was still extremely strong, so people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After pressing the tail of the fishing rod with a stone, only three people were left to guard here, and the rest continued to prepare for crossing the river.

Weeds are everywhere here, and the materials for making ropes can be said to be everywhere. Even if weeds are not used, ropes can be made from bark.

They don't require how strong the rope is, as long as they can hold on for a while, the pool is only a dozen meters wide, so as long as you paddle faster, you can pass through it quickly.

The water surface is extremely flat, and occasionally a few finger-sized dragonflies land on the fishing rod, wiping their bulging eyes with their two forefeet.

The guards here are constantly yawning. The leisure afternoon makes them feel very tired. It is definitely a pleasure to sleep at this time.

Until the evening, the water pool was still calm. Although sometimes the fishing rod made a few clicks, but the magnitude was relatively slight. Maybe the fish in the water came to eat the delicious food floating here.

In one day, only a small part of the materials for making the raft have been collected and it is estimated that it will take several days to finish.

This camp sheltered from wind and rain virtually reduced the team members' danger a lot. After staying here for a few days, apart from worrying about the monsters in the water, the rest of the beasts seldom visited here.

When people wake up in the morning, the bait is basically the same as before.

This is undoubtedly good news for everyone, which shows that there are basically no large beasts in this pool.

The team members who were no longer threatened began to make full efforts to make rafts across the river, and came here after traveling thousands of miles. Everyone knew that they did not come here to be entangled with wild men and beasts.

On this day, everyone's energy was concentrated on making the raft, which accelerated the progress of raft making a lot.

Three days later, the raft was finally completed, and the two rafts were able to transport more than a dozen people along with supplies at the same time.

The people used three logs as wheels for transporting the raft, and with a waste of effort, sent the raft of love to the water.

After moving the house onto the raft, everyone boarded the raft. The sudden increase in weight caused the raft to shake on the water. When everyone stood firm, they began to think about floating to the other side.

Worried about the danger in the water, the oarsmen keep their eyes on the water surface vigilantly, not daring to be careless.

The raft moved forward very fast, and after 1 minute, it finally came to the opposite bank without any danger.

Everyone dragged the two rafts ashore together, maybe the two rafts will be useful later.

The water and grass on the other side of the river are lush, and the bare rocks on the bank are waist-high reeds.

This place has a very dangerous feel to it.

After putting the raft in place, a dozen people proceeded cautiously.

This time, Zhou Yu, as a pathfinder, opened the way ahead with a long wooden stick. There may be poisonous snakes hidden under the dense weeds.

Fortunately, the area of ​​this reed field is not large, and it took an hour to get out of here.

The captain stood on a rock and looked around.

The mountains here are high and the forests are sparse. Although there are trees growing, it is not secret that there is often another tree at a long distance.

Although there are not many big trees, low shrubs can be seen everywhere. Some plants as tall as a person grow brightly colored fruits. Although these fruits look very thirsty, no one feels easy to try something they don’t know. thing.

At present, the ground that everyone knows is a low basin, except for the narrow passage at the entrance, there are high mountains on three sides.

The captain looked at it for a while, and said to everyone: "We are heading towards the mountain over there. There seems to be a cave over there. We will temporarily set up the camp there. We will explore this area during this time."

After speaking, he jumped off that rock and led the team towards the mountain over there.

Climbing a mountain is a very difficult thing. Seeing that the goal is very close to you, but in the process, you have to climb over small hills.

When everyone came to the foot of the mountain, they were already exhausted and could not reach the cave before dark, so they had no choice but to find a relatively secluded place to camp near here.

The night in the mountains and forests is much more lively than that by the water pool. As the night comes, the soldiers on duty at night can see pairs of bright eyes passing around the camp in the dark night. Can make the atmosphere very tense.

Fortunately, these beasts seemed to have no interest in humans. After observing for a while, they quietly left here.

Zhou Yu was able to visit his relatives far away in Xiaguo in his sleep again, and a smile appeared on his mouth unconsciously. Starting from the imperial city, enjoying the envious eyes of people.

But when the screen turned, everything in front of him disappeared, and he found himself in a deep mountain and old forest, with no one around, and beasts with green eyes everywhere, these hungry beasts were staring at him , as if he would jump up and tear himself apart in the next moment, Zhou Yu wanted to run away, but was horrified to find that his legs didn't need any strength at all, and those beasts suddenly disappeared like ghosts at this time. For a moment, a big mouth full of fangs appeared in front of him, biting straight at him.

Under this fright, Zhou Yu came over at Xing'er, sat up and looked around, only to realize that it was all a dream.

Wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, looked at the position of the moon, rubbed his face, walked to the team member on duty and said, "Go and sleep for a while, I'll be on duty."

"It's not yet time for you to be on duty, I'll do it." The man replied.

"I can't sleep, you go to sleep."

The man looked at Zhou Yu, yawned, and said, "Okay, then be careful."

Zhou Yu nodded, leaning against a big tree with his weapon in hand.

The other two night watchmen looked this way, then looked away, yawned, staring at the starry sky in a daze.

The night was quiet, except for the rustling of the trees in the breeze, only the chirping of summer insects.

Occasionally, a few fireflies flew in front of Zhou Yu, and in the dark night, it seemed as if the stars were right in front of him.

Feeling the coolness of the night, Zhou Yu couldn't help but smile. Although the journey of exploration is tiring and dangerous, it is also a rare experience. First of all, for the extremely noisy Xia Kingdom, it makes people feel extremely relaxed here.

Zhou Yu really wanted to write a poem or an article to praise these beautiful things in front of him, but after racking his brains, he found that his talent was not enough to complete such a difficult task, so he could only laugh at himself in the end.

"rustle!"

Just when Zhou Yu was thinking wildly, he seemed to hear a sound of footsteps nearby, but the sound was fleeting, as if it had never appeared before.

I looked at the other two companions who were on duty at night, and saw that they were still in a daze of boredom, and didn't find anything unusual.

Zhou Yu shook his head, secretly thinking that he was too careful, maybe some animal passed by nearby just now.

Not long after Zhou Yu felt that he had auditory hallucinations, Sasha's voice appeared again.

This time Zhou Yu heard it very clearly, and the voice was obviously very close to here, and it sounded like there were quite a few of them.

This discovery made Zhou Yu stand up from the ground in fright, holding a weapon and whispering to the other two: "There is a situation."

Hearing the words, the villain suddenly lost his slack, and quickly got up and rushed towards Zhou Yu.

"What's going on?" one asked.

Zhou Yu pointed to the direction where the voice came from, and said, "There seems to be something approaching us over there."

The two frowned when they heard the words, they found nothing now, the issuance was pitch black, and they couldn't see anything clearly.

"Did you hear me? Don't scare us."

"Am I joking? If there is a real situation, go alone and wake them up quickly." Zhou Yu said anxiously.

The villains looked at each other suspiciously, nodded randomly, and sent a person to wake up the sleeping people.

The sweet people who were sleeping were suddenly interrupted in their sweet dreams, and they were very annoyed in their hearts. They opened their eyes in a daze and asked, "What's going on, it shouldn't be my turn to be on duty yet."

"Don't sleep, there is a situation." One person said hastily.

Although the captain didn't know what happened, but if he woke up in the middle of the night, something must have happened.

He quickly organized his hands and gathered near the fire with weapons.

"Salsa! Salsa!"

There was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps, but the sound didn't come over here, and twenty gradually moved away.

"It sounds like a human voice," said a voice.

The captain nodded and said, "It's indeed the sound of humans walking. There should be savages around here. Everyone, be careful tonight. The number of people on duty at night has doubled."

"Since they found us, captain, why did they run away again?"

The captain snorted coldly and said: "There's nothing wrong with this. It's probably because they saw us so many people and didn't dare to contact us easily. Don't worry about it. We just pay attention to it in the future. Although they live here, See them sooner or later."

The sudden appearance of savages disrupted the peace of the expedition, and everyone became tense. Compared with the arrival of wild beasts, those savages were obviously a greater threat to themselves.

This night, the original situation of three people on duty changed to six people on duty, until early in the morning, those savages, no matter how dark they were hiding, did not appear again.

In this unfamiliar terrain, the captain naturally didn't dare to chase those guys easily. The next day, the team members hurriedly left here to take out the cave. The most important thing now is to find a place to stay.

As long as there is a relatively safe camp, there is nothing to fear from the wildlings wandering around.

Although these students are not soldiers, they are not weak scholars from another world. In terms of physical fitness, they are far from comparable to those savages who can't eat enough. With sophisticated weapons, these 15 people cooperate, and the strength of these savages Small tribes are no match for them at all.

The cave is located at the foot of this high mountain, and it took several hours to get there.

When people went there, they found that this was not a cave, but a huge rock protrusion. For some unknown reason, the mountain below the rock collapsed in a large area, leaving only a huge rock mass nearly ten meters long. Suspended in mid-air, although this is not a real cave, it can also be used as a foothold for the expedition team. There is a rain-shielding thing on the head, at least it is much better than living in the wild.
