Chapter 160: The Crisis on the Lake (Subscription Requested)
18 coarse bamboos, fastened together, are almost 4 meters wide.
So, Xu Yi temporarily added two more and used 20 moso bamboos.
After making a bamboo raft, it was already past eight o'clock at night.
Xu Yi hurried up, lay down and began to sleep.
The edge of the camp was fenced off with bamboo branches.
Although it is not as good as a shrub, it also has a certain role.
There are no bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest at this time, so there are very few animals.
Perhaps, there will be some poisonous snakes, but the big beasts certainly don't have them.
Unless, it's traced by scent.
But those who followed the smell should have appeared a long time ago.
After all, they haven't been here for a short time.
So, it's still relatively safe tonight.
At night, the main thing is to see if the lake is unsafe.
The water in the lake is indeed salty, but the salinity is not very high.
Therefore, the project of extracting salt directly from the lake water is too large.
However, they can collect the salt crystals from the shore and then soak them into a liquid to extract the salt again.
In addition, as long as the crystals are collected, there is no need to purify them immediately, you can take the salt crystals away and look for opportunities to purify them again.
These things need to be confirmed at night after the lake is relatively safe.
When Xu Yi went to sleep, Su Keke studied for half an hour before lying down beside Xu Yi.
On the edge of the bonfire, Lu Ning cut a piece of roasted mutton down.
4 yellow sheep, they killed one.
When they were killed, they were dragged to the river and killed, so that the other three yellow sheep and the thunder beast would not see it.
Whether they understand it or not, there's always nothing wrong with avoiding it.
After being disposed of into corpses, Xu Yi also asked Zhongzhong and Yongyong to take the immortal birds to the river to eat.
After Lu Ning ate some mutton, he took a strong light and shone it on the lake.
You know, the lights are attractive to a lot of fish.
If there's any big guy, it should show up.
After more than an hour, Lu Ning saw a lot of fish, but he didn't see any particularly large creatures attracted by the light.
Therefore, Lu Ning was a lot more relieved.
The bamboo forest is very quiet at night, and the insects are relatively quiet.
There are a lot of mosquitoes, but they are all smeared with the slime of blood-sucking worms, so the mosquitoes here don't dare to come close.
Otherwise, the mere sound of mosquitoes 'buzzing' is annoying enough.
Time flew by, and it was soon 12 o'clock.
Xu Yi's alarm clock began to vibrate as promised, and then Xu Yi woke up.
"How is it, is there a problem with the lake?" After Xu Yi woke up, he immediately asked about the situation on the lake.
"There was no loud noise, I used a bright light for more than an hour, and I didn't see anything unusual. ”
If it weren't for the strong flashlight's lamp beads, Lu Ning would have been ready to continue to shine.
"Well, that's good, if I don't observe anything unusual in the middle of the night, we'll walk from the lake tomorrow. ”
"Hurry up and get some rest. ”
Lu Ning nodded, went to brush his teeth, and then went to sleep.
Xu Yi ate some mutton and then began to meditate.
He was facing the direction of the lake, so that if there was some noise, he could hear it.
After a whole night, the lake was still relatively calm.
Xu Yi felt that the night before yesterday it was those dinosaurs or other creatures that made a movement on the shore.
"Xu Yi, morning. ”
Lu Ning stretched his waist and propped up his body.
Last night, I slept very well.
"Morning, it looks like I slept well last night. Xu Yi smiled at Lu Ning, and then continued his stretching activities.
"Well, I slept soundly last night. So, there is no movement on the lake?" Lu Ning walked to Xu Yi's side, and then glanced at the direction of the lake.
Xu Yi ended the stretch and said, "Well, it's quite calm, there are some small movements, and it shouldn't be a big guy to listen to the sound." ”
"Well, we can leave the lake today. Lu Ning said happily.
After all, there was a lot of delay yesterday, and today we can't afford to delay any longer.
For breakfast, Lu Ning was buried in the soil last night, and after washing, Xu Yi and Lu Ning dug up the potatoes.
The potatoes, plus half a lamb roasted last night, were enough for the three of them to eat for two days.
Xu Yi and Lu Ning first moved all the supplies to the bamboo raft, and then led the yellow sheep and the thunder beast to the bamboo raft.
Although the yellow sheep and the thunder beast were a little scared, they were relatively honest.
After reaching the top of the bamboo rafts, Xu Yi tied them firmly to prevent them from moving.
Fixed in the middle position so that they have no way to move around.
Only in this way can the raft be somewhat stable.
Especially if there is an emergency, you can't let them move.
Fortunately, there is enough bamboo, otherwise, I really can't bear the heavy weight.
Xu Yi made a tripod at the tail of the raft and made a rocking.
Lu Ning stood in front of him, holding an oar in his hand, so that he could adjust the direction.
"Let's go!"
Xu Yi cut off the vines, and then used a spear to lift the bamboo raft off the shore.
Then, Xu Yi shook it.
[I lost it, this strength is too much, right?]
[This power, this speed, is about to catch up with the motor!]
[Yes, this speed is much faster than walking.] 】
[If you can take the waterway, it won't take long to 1000 kilometers, right?]
[Xiu, I should have taken the waterway yesterday, I wasted too much time over the mountains and mountains, and the straight-line distance was less than 5 kilometers. 】
[Originally, it was still the lead, but now it has fallen out of 500.] Lao Xu, come on to the duck, Ollie give!]
[This speed, just Nima's outrageous, feels faster than that diesel boat.] 】
[Lao Xu, something is wrong with you, how can you be so fast?]
Xu Yi kept shaking the tail of the bamboo raft, pushing the bamboo raft forward.
Lu Ning used the oar in his hand to adjust the direction from time to time, allowing the bamboo raft to move towards the coordinate point.
"Xu Yi, this lake doesn't look small, we may be able to recover the distance that fell in the past two days today. Lu Ning sighed while observing the situation on the lake.
"Well, that's a lot faster than we can walk. Xu Yi also felt that walking on the lake was much faster, after all, there was no obstacle at all.
Because it is a salt water lake, it is also relatively buoyant.
When Xu Yi used the shake, he didn't have any special difficulty.
Now the speed is at least three or four times faster than they can walk.
Moreover, after stabilizing to a certain speed, it will become more and more labor-saving.
Therefore, Xu Yi can also increase the speed a little more later.
"Xu Yi, you can rest and replace me. Lu Ning glanced at the time and found that half an hour had passed.
In this more than half an hour, they walked a distance of almost 6 kilometers.
That's a lot of speed.
"No, I'm not tired. Xu Yi shook it more than a dozen times, and he would take a break, so that he could last longer.
"If you need to change it, I'll call you. ”
Lu Ning nodded and continued to control the direction.
In the middle of the raft, Su Keke sat on a small pony and watched the moving film.
This little Mazha was made by Xu Yi on an improvised basis yesterday.
It was not difficult to use some snake skin and bamboo, so Xu Yi made three.
In this way, when they are resting, they can take the little Maza and sit and rest.
"Xu Yi, we have a lot of fish, do we need to fork some fish?" Lu Ning suddenly saw a school of fish and asked.
"Okay, a few more. Xu Yi thinks it's okay to get some fish to eat.
They had a few catties of bamboo charcoal in their baskets, which they had collected when they left this morning.
It was because I thought that maybe I would need to make a fire on the bamboo raft, so I brought those bamboo charcoals.
After all, they are all on a bamboo raft, and there is no effect on these more than a dozen catties of bamboo charcoal.
If the lake is so large, you won't have to heat food or boil water if you want to spend the night on a bamboo raft.
With Xu Yi's consent, Lu Ning put down the oar and picked up his spear.
Xu Yi also stopped rocking, allowing the speed of the bamboo raft to slow down.
At the same time, Xu Yi directly picked up the dark copper spear.
On the surface of the lake, there was indeed a school of fish.
Xu Yi held the spear in his hand, looking for an opportunity.
Suddenly, Xu Yi made a move.
The spear stabbed at a swimming fish, piercing its body.
Then Xu Yi took it back and put the fish on the bamboo raft.
[What kind of fish is this, it looks not small, it should be five or six catties, right?]
[This is too much, you can hit it with any fork.] 】
[This net goes down, it is estimated that there are tens of thousands of catties of fish, right??]
[I really want to go fishing here, the invincible fishing ground.] 】
[These fish must be particularly delicious, Lao Xu simply lives in the lake, there are fish to eat, and there is no danger. 】
[Say it's okay to look at the sky without danger, this is definitely the hunting ground of the pterosaurs, maybe...... the groove. 】
[Your mouth is really Nimahei, what do you say. 】
Several huge bodies appeared in the sky, and a dozen pterosaurs were in the sky ahead.
Then, they swooped down on the surface of the lake.
That's right, it's really their predation ground.
There is no danger in the lake, but there is danger in the sky.
"Xu Yi, what should we do now?" Lu Ning's face changed drastically, watching those pterosaurs hover in the sky and then pounce on the water.
Will they find themselves in a group?
"Don't panic, let's go to the shore of that bend first, observe and then decide. Xu Yi said a word, put down his spear inside, began to shake the tail of the rock, and decided to go to the lake to avoid it first.
Lu Ning also hurriedly put down the spear, picked up his long oar, and began to adjust the direction.
Su Keke put away his tablet and picked up Xu Yi's spear. If there was a situation, she could hand the spear to Xu Yi as soon as possible.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine. There are a lot of fish in the lake, enough for them to eat, and they won't come to our minds. ”
"When they've caught enough, they'll leave. ”
Xu Yi's comfort still has some effect, after all, Su Keke trusts Xu Yi very much.
"Xu Yi, where do you look?" Lu Ning suddenly pointed to the shore of the lake excitedly.
It turned out that there was a shoal on the shore of the lake, and there were a lot of salt crystals on the shallows.
Obviously, that place formed a natural salt field.
The water level of the lake is not static, it rises and falls, but the arc is not very large.
Otherwise, this place would not have been created.
Xu Yi didn't expect that when he turned into this lake, there would be such a harvest.
So, they quickly approached the shore of the lake.
After getting closer, Lu Ning jumped on the shallows first.
"That's right, it's salt crystals. As he spoke, Lu Ning put a few grains into his mouth.
"It's not bitter, it's not astringent, we have natural salt crystals, it's great. ”
Lu Ning laughed happily, then took the rope thrown by Su Keke, tied it to his spear, and then inserted it into the ground.
Xu Yi took a clay bucket and went ashore.
The amount of salt crystals is still a lot, although it is mixed with some other substances, but Xu Yi and Lu Ning are not picky, and directly put them into the pottery barrel.
Once it was full, it was back on the raft.
The weight of this bucket is not light, at least seventy or eighty pounds.
After all, salt is heavy.
There are so many, and enough for them to eat for a long time.
There are too many of them, and they are not convenient to carry, so naturally there is no need to get more salt crystals.
After getting on the bamboo raft, Xu Yi picked up a fish that had died on the boat.
"Let's clean up the fish first, those pterosaurs shouldn't stay long. With that, Xu Yi asked for the stone kitchen knife from Su Keke and began to scrape off the scales on the fish.
Lu Ning also took out his machete and dealt with the fish.
Just now, she forked two, and there were three fish in total.
After ten minutes, the pterosaurs flew away from the lake.
So, Xu Yi hurriedly shook the rocking on the bamboo raft and set off again.
In order to leave quickly, Xu Yi was ruthless this time and accelerated the speed of swaying.
The speed of the bamboo raft was suddenly raised.
Lu Ning also knew that Xu Yi wanted to leave this lake as soon as possible.
Soon, an hour had passed, and they had traveled 23 kilometers on the lake. Together with the previous 6 kilometers, it is a total distance of 29 kilometers.
This speed is very fast.
"Xu Yi, the area of this lake is still quite large, we have walked such a long distance, and we haven't even seen the end. ”
Moreover, the area of the lake is getting wider and wider.
Lu Ning even had some doubts that they might be able to walk hundreds of kilometers on the lake.
In that case, they'll be much closer to the supply point.
Now, they are not much behind. ww
"yes, the lake is a lot bigger than we expected. If you take a detour, you may have to walk an extra 100 kilometers. No matter how dangerous the lake is, this is a path we must take. ”
With a detour, it would be difficult for them to reach the supply point in 28 days.
What's the point of wasting 28 days on the road if you can't get to the supply point smoothly?
The time ahead is very precious, because you don't know what kind of danger awaits you later.
The more time you gain early on, the more peace of mind you can have.
If you can complete three or four hundred kilometers in the first five days, it will be much easier later.
As he spoke, the figure of the pterosaur appeared in the sky again.
This group of pterosaurs was not very numerous, and it was not very large.
However, they seemed to be flying towards Xu Yi.
