Chapter 445: A Dark Shadow in the River

People with rich experience in wild survival know that it is very difficult to advance in the primeval forest, because there are no ready-made roads in the forest, and there are all kinds of plants scattered everywhere, and there are all kinds of animals living in these plants, some animals carry highly poisonous, which is the biggest threat to human beings living in the wild.

Ye Cheng was still planning the route of himself, Zhang Min and Sun Jiaojiao after today.

After discovering the river, Ye Cheng discovered that the direction of the river was exactly the central area of this mysterious island.

Therefore, Ye Cheng planned to move along this river in his group of three, so that he could save all kinds of troubles in walking through the primeval forest. The only thing to think about is to beware of dangers from the river.

The width of this small river is about 10 meters, and judging from previous experience, the depth of a river of this width is generally no more than three meters, but on this mysterious island, Ye Cheng doesn't know if he can still count his previous experience.

Strictly speaking, this river can no longer be called a small river, and under the rushing water, no one can tell whether there is any danger in it.

At this time, Zhang Min and Sun Jiaojiao were still asleep, and they also decided to go to the edge of the river first, and touch this river, how to become their businessman's forward route, what the specific situation is.

The journey from the hillside to the river was not far, and the journey was very smooth, and Ye Cheng did not encounter any emergencies.

Along the way, Ye Cheng walked very easily, and he passed one big tree after another with a dense canopy.

The warm sunlight shines through the gaps between the countless leaves, creating patches of light on the ground that are as clear as flowing water.

In the first half of the journey, Ye Chenye heard the sound of birds and insects chirping from the woods from time to time, but in the forest near the river, it was unusually quiet.

In this primeval forest, where plants and animals are thriving, this tranquility is a very impossible thing, and the only explanation for this is that there must be some strange existence in the creek.

Ye Cheng's footsteps stepped on the thick layer of leaves that had accumulated on the ground, making a rustling sound. I don't know why, even though Ye Cheng has now recovered to half of his strength, he still feels a chill in his heart.

At this time, Ye Cheng didn't have any weapons on his body, so he could only casually find a fist-thick branch from the side, and temporarily use this branch as his weapon to face the possible danger in the future, which is better than nothing.

At this moment, a strange cry suddenly came to mind in the originally unusually quiet forest,

"Quack... Quack..."

A sudden cry broke the silence that had been maintained in the woods before, and Ye Cheng followed the direction of the source of the sound and found that it was a small black bird that was flying over the forest and was about to fly above the river.

The black bird was flying so fast that in the blink of an eye it was over the river. Seeing that the black bird was about to cross the river and fly into the woods on the other side of the river, it was completely lost, when a black shadow about two meters long suddenly flashed in the river.

Ye Cheng's attention had been following the black bird, and when this black shadow about two meters long appeared, Ye Cheng discovered his existence.

But before Ye Cheng could see clearly what kind of creature this black shadow was, this black shadow had already jumped high at a lightning speed, and unexpectedly swallowed the black bird that was about to leap across the river, and then this black shadow fell back into the river at the same speed similar to lightning, and after a few waves fluttered on the surface of the river, this black shadow completely lost its trace, with Ye Cheng's eyesight, but it could not catch any trace of the black shadow.

After the black shadow that seemed to be very unusual in strength appeared and quickly disappeared, Ye Cheng did not stop his pace of exploring the edge of the river.

When the sun climbed to the center of Ye Cheng's head, Ye Cheng, who was advancing more and more slowly, finally walked to the edge of this seemingly calm, but actually choppy river.

Approaching this small river cautiously, with a layer on its chest, has also found many things that cannot be detected in the distance, and the water of this small river is so fast that in some places it has even formed a whirlpool with extremely fast rotation.

And on the edge of these whirlpools, Ye Cheng found the existence of schools of fish. There are many of these fish, densely packed with small fish around the swirling whirlpool, struggling to swim upstream.

The schools of fish are heading upstream, as if they are moving away from the river's final destination, the central area of this mysterious island.

Seeing the direction of these small fish, Ye Cheng couldn't help but flash a shadow in his heart, what secrets existed in the central area of this mysterious island, so that these schools of fish with very keen instincts couldn't help but want to escape.

Going to the central area of this mysterious island is the ultimate goal of Ye Cheng and the others, so no matter what danger exists there, Ye Cheng. Zhang Min and Sun Jiaojiao naturally couldn't change their ultimate goal just because of the strange actions of some fish.

However, since he had encountered these schools of fish and the dangerous black shadow just now, and he couldn't see the palm for the time being, Ye Chen thought about it and thought about it, and simply found a few straight branches on the edge of the small river, and after a little processing, he made a harpoon, and easily made up more than ten small fish three fingers wide.

These small fish should be enough for a lunch with Zhang Min and Sun Jiaojiao, Ye Cheng thought in his heart that the lunch of himself and the others had already been settled, and the shadow in his heart caused by the fish fleeing from the center of the island just now dissipated a lot.

However, at this time, there was still a period of time before Zhang Min and Sun Jiaojiao woke up, Ye Cheng tied the more than 10 small fish with a tree vine, carried them behind his back, and continued to explore along the river bank.

Ye Cheng walked about 500 meters along the bank of the small river and found a flat river beach about the size of a basketball court. On the other hand, Ye Cheng was very excited that on the edge of this river beach, there were five or six fruit trees growing here and there, and these fruit trees were full of attractive red fruits.

These fruits look so bright that they can't be seen at all in ordinary places, but at this time, they are still far away, and they can already smell the sweet smell, which is very attractive.
