Chronicles of Primordial Wars

Navigation on the river is very boring, but you have to be vigilant at all times to prevent anything from jumping out of the water, and pay attention to the wind direction.

From the end of the rainy season, the day of departure, to the time when the two moons overlap, the safe time calculated by Shao Xuan is less than 30 days.

Shao Xuan didn't know how wide the river was, so he could only move forward as much as possible. If fifteen days later, he still couldn't see the situation on the other side of the river, then he could only return to sail. Otherwise, the river level would drop sharply. Falling into a bottomless abyss, at that time, even if you want to fly, you will not be able to fly.

The piranhas in the river are very active, because they are not suppressed by other giant beasts, from time to time some energetic fish will jump out of the water and bite each other. While sailing, Shao Xuan saw many bigger piranhas jumping out.

wow——

A nearly four-meter-long piranha suddenly jumped out of the water, jumping high, from one side of the canoe to the other side, while jumping, it also had a big mouth.

There was a jumping piranha before, Shao Xuan just avoided it and didn't do anything, but now, the target is obviously Shao Xuan.

Controlling the sail with one hand, keep it out of the way of the big fish. At the same time, the toes lifted a wooden stick next to it, and after catching it with the other free hand, it hit the fish directly. The rapid friction between the stick body and the air makes a whistling sound.

Instead of using a spear, he used a hard wooden stick to beat the fish vigorously, but he couldn't make it see blood immediately. If the blood splattered, other piranhas around would be attracted, and then it would not be. Shao Xuan can handle it with both hands.

Snapped!

Several pieces of fish scales were beaten out, and they were deflected due to this stick. The piranha, who fell into the water again, was surrounded by others of the same kind before he could find a target for revenge. on it. Where the stick was beaten, where the scales came off. There is slowly oozing blood. These bloodshots are like stimulants, stimulating the energetic piranhas around them.

After flicking to avoid the piranha, Shao Xuan retracted the sail, and at the same time, the chacha in the air also flew down, grabbed a rope, and flew up again. The other end of the rope was tied to the canoe, and cha cha pulled the boat. Move the boat quickly away from the river where blood begins to flow.

The current wind direction is not suitable for the use of sails, so Shao Xuan stowed the sails directly and let Chacha continue to pull, and when he was tired, he returned to the canoe to rest, borrowing the wind and the sails to move on.

Sometimes there are other fish besides these piranhas of various sizes, it's just that those fish are only active underwater.

It doesn't jump up to look for trouble, but if someone goes into the water, it's hard to say.

When Shao Xuan was controlling the sail. I also saw a fish that was much longer than the hull of the boat. It slowly swam from the side. Because it was close to the river, the patterns on the fish were clearly visible, and the raised spiny fins were also partially exposed.

There are quite a few such fish, but as long as these fish don't attack the hull, it doesn't matter. There was a big fish before, presumably a curious canoe. He hit the hull with his head and almost turned the top of the boat. Shao Xuan asked Chacha to quickly pull the boat away, but the fish was chasing after him. Continue to push until Shao Xuan asked Cha Cha to stop and let the fish push the canoe a few times. The fish felt bored and left.

Fish also have a variety of habits.

During the day, I couldn't sleep peacefully at night. Chacha stood in the boat to rest, while Shao Xuan had to adjust the sails after squinting for a while, and he had to stay alert.

Although it is difficult, there are always such and such troubles every day, but they are all small troubles and can be solved.

...

Shao Xuan calculated the number of days and roughly estimated the distance he had traveled.

Eight days later, I still haven't seen the river bank, nor are there any small islands or other places protruding from the river surface. All I can see is the river water.

Take out the roasted jerky in the animal skin bag, eat some, and save the water on the boat. Shao Xuan will not drink the water in the river until the water is finished.

Chacha eating is solved in the air. Sometimes when a fish is caught, it will fly directly in the air, a little farther away from the hull of the ship, so that the dripping blood will not cause trouble to the ship.

While he was eating, Shao Xuan suddenly found a small island that was exposed diagonally ahead of the river, and quickly adjusted the sails and headed over there.

However, as he got closer, Shao Xuan realized that it was not a small island, but a huge fish. It was just that the fish had died before it floated on the water.

Moreover, Shao Xuan also found that the fish had many holes, which were bitten through.

The big fish with a length of more than 20 meters was eaten so that only one skeleton and an incomplete layer of skin outside the skeleton were left. Shao Xuan could still see from the holes that were bitten out that the fish was still eating things.

Inside are some small fish with slender bodies, which are not conspicuous when seen alone. And it is these little fish that are not as long as the palm of their hand, and this giant fish with sharp teeth and thick hard armor on many parts of the body, eats only the skeleton, maybe, after a while, even the bones and full of bones The skin of the holes is gone.

Shao Xuan quickly adjusted the sail, left the place, and gestured towards Cha Cha, who had just finished eating in the air, letting it come down to see what happened to the beast.

"Be careful when catching fish in the future. If you find such small fish, throw them away quickly," Shao Xuan said.

"Ah-"

Cha Cha saw the fate of the big fish and shook its wings, probably not expecting such a situation.

After the canoe had sailed a little farther, when Shao Xuan looked over there again, he found that the big fish that was floating on the water was sinking, and it was almost eaten up.

Perhaps, sometimes, those monstrous and huge fish are not the biggest threat to people sailing on the water, and those inconspicuous ones are more likely to cause a crisis.

Shao Xuan originally thought that Chacha would continue to fly into the air to pull the boat after resting for a while, but unexpectedly, Chacha had been standing on the boat, like a quail, squatting there, shrugging his neck, but looking up at the sky, as if there was a quail in the sky. Something that makes it afraid.

"What's wrong?" Shao Xuan asked as he tapped the bird's head. He didn't see anything in the air, but he also had a great sense of pressure in his heart.

Cha Cha whispered, but his neck shrank even tighter, his eyes still fixed on the sky, but he didn't fly.

The boat gradually stopped. Because the wind that was blowing the sails just now stopped.

Shao Xuan looked at the sky and soon found out. The clouds in the sky dissipated. A large empty area was exposed. It is really going to be a cloudless trend.

In normal times, this would indeed be considered a sunny day, but here, it gave people a sense of fear under great pressure.

Not only cha cha, Shao Xuan even had a feeling of trembling too much to move.

However, the current situation has to be resolved.

There seems to be a lot less piranhas around, even the large fish that swim by from time to time. I haven't seen it. It's really calm, but this kind of calm phenomenon is too weird.

A scene suddenly appeared in front of Shao Xuan's eyes - a large fog rose on the river.

The fog looks very ordinary, with a sense of vastness, but it is definitely not an ordinary thing to be able to remind Shao Xuan in this way!

Shao Xuan took out the long-handled wood pulp from the boat and started rowing vigorously.

"What are you still doing there, hurry up and help! Otherwise, you will all die!" Shao Xuan said to Chacha.

Chacha looked at the sky. Grab the two long-handled wood pulp next to it, turn over, and use the method that has been trained many times in the tribe. Start paddling.

The canoe began to move quickly under the vigorous paddling of Shao Xuan and Chacha.

Shao Xuan is now disregarding everything else, just holding his strength and paddling with all his strength, not even worried that the splashing water will attract the attention of other big fish.

The sound of clattering sounded, and the wooden boat moved fast forward. The movements of Shao Xuan's two arms became blurred. When both arms began to feel sore and tired, Shao Xuan picked up a stone needle. Shoot into the air.

When the needle was about 100 meters above the water, it made a "bang" sound. Instantly turned into powder.

Seeing this, Cha Cha was so frightened that he almost threw the paddle away.

Shao Xuan also felt his scalp tingling.

It was sunny. Under the cloudless sky, this kind of hair-raising thing happened eerily calmly.

"It's coming down! Quick! Row!" Shao Xuan continued to paddle in his hand.

This time, Chacha was also in a hurry. When he was in a hurry, he grabbed a section of the long handle of the wood pulp, and both wood pulp fell into the water.

Not bothering to go back to pick it up, Cha Cha grabbed the other two spare wood pulp in the boat, and it can't wait to grow two more nimble hands to paddle.

The boat was moving fast, like a speedboat with a high-horsepower engine, heading straight ahead.

quick! quick! quick!

The pressure on the top of the head was increasing, and the feathers on Chacha's body exploded.

When paddling vigorously, a feather fell from Cha Cha, but was lifted up by Cha Cha's violent paddling action. Because there was no wind, the feather didn't float very high, about 20 meters, but it was in the At a height of about 20 meters above the water, the feather once again shattered in an instant like the stone needle before.

Shao Xuan and Chacha didn't look up, they didn't have time to take care of others.

The pressure above is still there, and it's still falling. If Shao Xuan couldn't escape, he could only end up with the thrown stone needle and the fallen feather.

Shao Xuan was covered in sweat, and the sweat on his forehead slipped into his eyes, causing a tingling sensation. He couldn't even bother to wipe it. He quickly blinked his eyes twice, still staring straight ahead, and the movements in his hands did not slow down at all.

Shao Xuan didn't know what the time was, and he couldn't calculate it at all. Shao Xuan didn't know what was coming down and what the speed was. He could only focus all his attention on paddling, control the direction, and escape in a straight line.

I don't know how long it took, only to hear a bang in the back, Shao Xuan woke up from the state just now.

The pressure on the top of the head is no longer there. Turning to look, the water vapor is rising from the river behind, and the water vapor is still increasing, like a thick fog.

The boat was still moving, and Shao Xuan looked at the bird lying on his back in front of him, grabbing the long-handled wooden oar and shaking, and raised his foot and kicked: "Okay, let's go."

Chacha was still immersed in paddling, and was kicked by Shao Xuan, so scared that he almost stretched out his wings and flew.

The calm water surface was once again turbulent, and there was also the wind.

Shao Xuan adjusted the sail and continued to move forward by taking advantage of the wind. As for the chacha, let it rest for a while, it is estimated that it will not be able to fly now. (To be continued)
