Chronicles of Primordial Wars

On Lang Ga's side, several people are attracting attention.

Shao Xuan felt the gaze in front of him, and after staring at him for about two minutes, he moved away.

"A Xuan, run!" Lang Ga shouted over there.

There was no need for Lang Ga to shout, Shao Xuan had long noticed that when the other party moved his eyes away, his legs burst out in an instant, and his bent knees bounced.

click!

A section of the stone pillar he was stepping on suddenly cracked, and Shao Xuan's body shot out like a bow and arrow.

The moment Shao Xuan left the stone pillar, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a long shadow that quickly shot out and recovered. If Shao Xuan was slower, he might be swept by that long shadow.

Shao Xuan knew what that long shadow was, and if it touched it, it would be dragged directly into the water.

At the same time, Lang Gaji threw the spears in their hands towards the creatures in the water. They didn't dare to project directly just now, because Shao Xuan's position was easy to be accidentally injured. Now that Shao Xuan left, they didn't have to tie their hands and feet.

The stone spear passed through the rain curtain, and Shao Xuan could still hear the "swoosh" sound of the spear passing through the air at high speed.

puff! puff! puff!

Three spears stabbed the creature in the water, and red blood flowed out. If those piranhas were there, they would have followed the smell and snatch it, but now, apart from the movement of the creature that was shot, there was no Nothing else.

Whizzing!

Another two spears were projected.

There was also a long straw rope tied to the spear. Obviously, this was to drag the prey that had just been shot back to the shore.

As the people on the shore retracted the straw rope, Shao Xuan finally saw the figure of the creature.

It was a little different from what I thought just now. The creature that was dragged ashore was indeed very similar to a frog, but it was even more obvious that it had a long tail behind it!

tadpole? Has not developed into a frog, a tadpole with front and rear limbs?

Hearing that cry just now, Shao Xuan did not expect to see such a situation at all!

The long-tailed frog that was shot was still struggling, but the struggle was a little smaller than before, and the front limbs and back were pedaling, leaving traces on the beach.

After the long-tailed frog was stabbed a few times and stopped struggling, Shao Xuan leaned in and took a closer look.

Except for the long tail, its limbs are also webbed, not toe-like, and its mouth is open, and there are some fangs in its mouth. Other than that, it looks exactly like a fully transformed frog. .

Not only that, the size of this long-tailed frog also made Shao Xuan stunned. Not counting the long tail, its body length has exceeded five meters! No wonder Lang Ga and the others are so nervous.

Such a big frog with teeth and a long tail was the first time Shao Xuan had ever seen it.

"I was almost scared to death just now!" Seeing that Shao Xuan was safe and sound, Lang Ga also took a deep breath, and then warned Shao Xuan: "This thing has come out, be careful in the next time, it is best not to go to Yuzha for the next few days. Look."

Whether or not you can catch fish is a small matter, but personal safety is a big deal.

Lang Ga had lingering fears. He didn't expect the thing in the water to come out so quickly. When he saw the two bulging eyes on the water very close to Shao Xuan, Lang Ga only felt a basin of ice-cold water facing him. splash.

Those who used to patrol were caught in the water,

Those who were pulled into the river never came back. Although everyone took precautions and hunted a lot of this thing every year, but if you are not careful, you will still be tricked. In front of prey, do not take it lightly.

Watching others slaughter the long-tailed frog, Lang Ga told Shao Xuan some things to pay attention to, and also said some previous tragedies, also to attract Shao Xuan's attention.

"As for this thing, it tastes pretty good, and I can still hunt some more now, but in two days, it will be difficult to start." Lang Ga said.

On the same day, Shao Xuan, Lang Ga and the others hunted down three long-tailed frogs. Except for the different patterns on the skin surface, these three were all large and peculiar species with long tails and teeth.

The people who were patrolling in the same round each divided their points. After the patrol was over, they took the frog meat back. The food was not bad. Although it was not as tender as the frog meat that Shao Xuan had eaten in his previous life, it contained much more energy than the snail meat.

Compared with winter, the rainy season here is relatively short, but it is not a matter of one or two days. There will be about 30 days. No one can tell the specific time. It varies from year to year.

Two days later, due to the continuous heavy rain, the river level rose a lot.

Shao Xuan thought that with such a rally, it would take less than ten days to cross the stone line, but looking at the others, he didn't seem to be worried at all.

When Shao Xuan came to patrol the bank of the river, from the shallow water to the deeper places, he could see many slightly triangular heads and round eyes exposed, densely packed along the river bank.

No wonder Lang Ga said it was difficult to start. With so many frogs with long tails, before you could pull the hunted frogs ashore, the straw rope was pulled down the river by them.

Sometimes when he is idle, Lang Ga will stuff mud into the empty shell and throw it over to watch those frogs with long tails shoot out their long tongues to grab food. Like the frogs Shao Xuan knew, those frogs with long tails also caught movement. Many times the snails thrown over were swept away by their long tongues before they fell into the water.

Those long-tailed frogs never came ashore, at most they just lay on their backs in the shallows, exposing their triangular heads and bulging eyes. It also seldom called, unlike the sound of frogs that Shao Xuan thought, only occasionally heard a small and short "quack" sound.

As the river level rose, every day when Shao Xuan passed by, the patrol site would retreat. Because of the existence of those long-tailed frogs, they had to keep a safe distance from the river.

Until one day, when Shao Xuan came to the river, he found that all the long-tailed frogs lying near the river bank had disappeared, and the river surface that had risen to the seventh fish gate began to retreat.

The rainy season did not pass, Lang Ga told Shao Xuan that this was only the first time the river level fell in the rainy season, and there would be several more dips in the future. After the first time the river level fell, all the frogs with long tails disappeared, so there is no need to worry after that. They will appear again.

At the same time, Shao Xuan also noticed that when the river level was falling, the direction of the river, which was gradually obvious due to the rising water in the rainy season, changed. Today, the river is not flowing in the direction that the overlords in the river are swimming, but the upper reaches of the river that Shao Xuan guessed.

The changing flow of the river, and the long-tailed frog that disappeared overnight, all told Shao Xuan that something happened upstream of the river. According to Lang Ga, the river level will drop several times during the rainy season. Every time the river level drops, the flow direction of the river will change. Every year in the rainy season, many things happen that they don't know about.

It is precisely because of many strange phenomena that the people of the tribe feel that this river with an invisible border is even more mysterious, and they have been reluctant to explore it, let alone explore it.

When the river level fell for the first time, Shao Xuan saw the wood-eating insects in the seventh fish fence.

The seventh fish gate was set up by Shao Xuan. He put a few pieces of wood in the fish gate. Unexpectedly, the wood-eating insect was temporarily trapped in the river when the river level fell and the water receded.

Wood-eating insects are like a heavy mass of mucus. When they smell the presence of wood, they will stick to the wood block, or simply grow longer, and then pull the wood block down.

However, Shao Xuan found that there were many trees growing in the place where the river was submerged, but those trees were not eaten much. Throw a small piece of wood into the river and wait for more than an hour to see the piece of wood pulled down. If this is normal, it will take less than two minutes for the piece of wood floating on the river to disappear.

Apparently, the activity of those wood-eating insects during the rainy season is also unusual.

So, when Shao Xuan was patrolling every day, he would put a wooden block in the water to see how long it would take to be pulled down the river. A thin straw rope was tied to the wooden block, and the other end of the rope was tied to a stone pillar so that it would not float away. After returning, Shao Xuan would record the results of the day in his secret "notebook".

This rainy season has only 27 days, which is a few days shorter than last year. This is a normal phenomenon. According to the veterans, the longest rainy season they have experienced is 40 days, but the shortest rainy season will not be less than two fifteen days.

When the rain stopped falling, the dark clouds that had been lingering in the sky dissipated, and the long-lost sun shone on the land again, everyone in the tribe felt as clear as the weather.

The children who had been stuck in the house for nearly 30 days ran out like they were happy, running around barefoot and laughing. The children in the cave have also started to prepare things, and the rainy season is over, and they can continue to start fishing. For the time being, they don't have to worry about being dizzy by the sound of the river.

Why is it said to be temporary?

Because, those terrifying river beasts who stopped roaring will reappear after a while, and they will shout again.

"A Xuan, go back!"

Lang Ga and others have packed their things and are ready to leave.

"I'll go back right away, you all go first!" Shao Xuan responded.

After the rainy season, as long as there is no water, there will be no danger, so Lang Ga is not worried.

When Lang Ga and the others left, Shao Xuan took out a wooden boat from the animal skin bag. This was the last few days of his patrol. After returning every day, he used the wood stored in the house and some small stone nails to make it. A simple sailboat.

The sails are only the leaves of a plant, the planks are also ordinary wood, and the hull of the small sailboat is only two palms long.

The wind was blowing from the river bank to the big river. Shao Xuan put the simple sailboat on the river, and with a little force with his fingers, the hull was pushed away, swaying, and the wind was blown away from the shoal of the river bank and sailed to a place where the boundary could not be seen. The green color on the boat is particularly noticeable.

There are many piranhas in the river. These big-headed and low-IQ guys who disappeared for a rainy season have become active again, even more active than before the rainy season. Throwing a small piece of bloody meat into the river can trigger They fight for a long time and are very energetic. The good thing is that they are not interested in wood, but the wood-eating insects in the river who are interested in wood seem to have disappeared.

After standing by the river and watching for a while, Shao Xuan picked up his things and left. When he was going up the mountain, he looked back at the river and could see the little dots drifting away in the sun.
