Chapter 59: Down the River

Without Ansu having to unhook the hook, the piranha fell to the ground, and Ansu saw that the hook made from the spines of the vine had been bitten off. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe piranha's sharp teeth were still opening and closing, making a clicking sound.

What a mouthful of sharp teeth!

Li Kai quickly smashed it with a stone and disemboweled it like he did yesterday, but this time the guts of the fish head were left behind to be used as bait for his next fishing.

A fish is belly, and the two have enough strength to start making a raft. They first lined up six logs, then tied them one by one with vines, and then tied them separately and then tightened them together to make the raft stronger, even if one log was loosened, it would have no effect on the others. Ansu did her best to tie the raft sturdy, she didn't want it to fall apart in the river.

As for the oars, Ansul made them from forked branches, with vines wrapped between the two forked branches, and finally resembled a tennis racket. In addition, she made a long pole to support the raft.

In the afternoon, they had finished making the raft, inspected it, and pushed it into the water. The raft pushed the river open, floated and sank a few times, and finally floated to the surface.

An Su and Li Kai stood up, and the raft only sank down slightly, able to bear their weight.

"We made it!" Li Kai was very happy. Fortunately, neither the captain nor he is heavy, if Simon is replaced...... Li Kai's heart was bored, and the smile on his face disappeared.

"Now it's time for the river to rise when it rains." Ansu tied a few vines to the raft with a rope twisted into a strand, and then jumped back to shore with a slight leap, securing the other end of the rope to a tree.

"Come on, the piranha is coming." Ansu said.

Li Kai looked down and saw that one by one piranhas were gathering around, circling around the raft, as if to find out if this huge thing could be eaten. Li Kai deliberately stepped the raft before jumping back to the shore. The raft swayed in cascading waves, spreading out in all directions, and the piranhas swam away in fright, but gathered back together.

The next day it did not rain, and on the third day it fell, as usual, with a sharp and violent wind, and with a strong wind and lightning. The river rose as fast as the naked eye could see. The river suddenly widened a lot.

The rain was constantly dripping down from above, and everywhere there were patches of water vapor, hazy and hazy as if wrapped in a veil. A few animal cries came, looking a little helpless. It should be that some unlucky guy didn't find a place to shelter from the rain in time and was drenched in the cold.

The shelter built by Ansul and Simon blocks most of the rain. A small shed was also built on top of the fire, and the rain did not extinguish it. Heavy rain can connect two different water systems, An Su and Li Kai looked at the rain flowers that kept blooming on the river, and they always remembered the missing Simon and Sun Yan in their hearts. Ansu believed that they had just been swept away by the flood and lost in the jungle, but they knew where they were heading together, to the east, to the place where the sun was rising. She believes that as long as they go in the same direction, they will meet again one day. Ansu has already left a striking mark where he walked.

They set out on the morning of the fourth day, when the river was no longer roaring and rushing, and the sky was showing sunlight. They didn't set out when the river was rushing up, and although the raft was certainly moving fast at that time, high speed also came with high risks, especially in this unpredictable jungle. Moreover, the power of nature is also worthy of awe.

Untying the rope that bound the raft, and with the long pole on the shore, the raft left the bank and floated towards the center of the river, where it joined the river like a downstream. An Su held the wooden pole to keep the raft forward, and Li Kai paddled the water alternately left and right with wood pulp in the back. The raft made its way smoothly over the river.

Heavy rains brought food, and the river's hungry piranhas were finally able to feast on fish or other aquatic animals that had come down the river from elsewhere. Temporarily lost interest in the behemoth of rafts. But the quest for killing and flesh and blood is endless. Ansu and the others had to be careful not to tip over the raft and fall into the water.

The river is not always unimpeded, and sometimes there are some broken trees and stones blocking the way, but they are all skillfully crossed by Ansu. Occasionally, a piranha or two would jump onto the raft, but they were all swept down by Ansu.

The water gradually calmed down, and the trees on both sides of the river gradually thickened, and the top of the river was almost covered by the canopy, sifting only the sparkling sunlight.

"Be careful." Ansu said suddenly.

With a click, a green snake appeared in front of Li Kai, causing him to pause his paddle movement. A slight gust of wind blew, and the green snake was picked into the water by Ansu. Li Kai raised his head and couldn't help but gasp. The branches above were covered with green snakes, more terrifying than the insects of the tree, and they were twisting and writhing.

Knock, knock, knock...... From time to time, green snakes that have been pushed down fall into the river, stretch themselves in the water, and swim back to shore.

Li Kai had a large goosebump on his arm, and his paddling action couldn't help but be faster. These snakes have triangular heads, and they are usually venomous, so you have to leave quickly.

The raft emerges from the dense jungle, the sun shines brightly on the river, and bursts of crisp birdsong sound, and the feathers of the birds glow in the sun. On a towering red riverbank, dozens of feathered parrots are perched on it, their small paws grasping the red soil, and their short, wide beaks stained with red mud. They didn't seem to have seen creatures like An Su and Li Kai, and they were tilting their heads and looking at An Su and Li Kai with small black eyes. Sensing no danger, these beautiful birds began to focus on pecking at the red dirt beneath their feet again.

Ansu knew that some of the food parrots ate had toxins and that there were detoxifying substances in the dirt they pecked. These alien parrots should have the same intentions as they do on Earth.

The jungle is one such place, where beauty and danger coexist.

Ansu looked at the monkeys frolicking on the branches and the birds of prey hovering in the air, propped up the pole to the bottom of the river, and the raft continued to float forward.

Despite being in the waters of piranhas and crocodiles, the jungle scenery on both sides of the river is stunning, and Li Kai can't help but look up from time to time while paddling. Green is the main color of the jungle, but it is not the only color, and various colors of flowers, animals, etc. make up a beautiful and vibrant jungle picture.

The river ahead is starting to fork. (To be continued.) )
