Chapter 168: A Strange Shadow in the Water
After two days of busy work, the foundation of the tribe's new wall had begun to take shape, and Wang Lang even planned a few simple roads.
With the gradual growth of the tribe, these two villages will become the existence of the city in the future, and Yancun may be the capital of this tribe, so Wang Lang has spent a lot of effort on the planning of the new village.
Little by little, the new wall was built, and the embankment was progressing rapidly, and with the stimulation of two meals, the new people used almost all their strength, and the embankment was more than half completed by this time, and soon the embankment would be completely completed.
The **100 catties of fish caught two days ago, except for a few hundred catties that were eaten by everyone on the first day, the rest were taken by the women for processing.
After a two-day pause, Wang Lang took his clansmen and two newly made rafts, and dozens of people slaughtered towards the lake.
With the experience of the last time, after the raft was launched, the people rowed quickly and spread out in the center of the lake, casting the fishing nets, except for the raft where Wang Lang was, the other two were led by soldiers who performed well.
The net had been cast, all that remained was to wait, and the huge raft floated peacefully on the surface of the lake, looking like a floating island from the shore.
The fish under the water were lured by the bait and gradually converged towards the center of the lake, but this time it was not only the fish that were attracted to it, but also a huge figure swimming down the surface.
The fish were so frightened by the huge figure that they scattered in all directions, and even the tempting bait could not attract them, and fled in a hurry.
Wang Lang frowned and looked at the fishing net that had not moved for a long time, and muttered: "No, according to the situation last time, there should be a fish hitting the net at this time, why has there been no movement for so long, can these fish learn to be smart at one time?" What the hell. ”
Just when Wang Lang couldn't figure out what the situation was, the soldier standing on the edge of the raft suddenly said in horror: "Chief, there seems to be something underwater, it's very big!" ”
When Wang Lang heard this, he couldn't help but feel excited, it was not a joke for something to appear under the water, so it was possible for any terrifying monster to appear in the primeval and wild lake, if it was suddenly attacked, it would be absolutely very dangerous for the unprepared people on the raft.
"Where's that thing now?" Wang Lang hurriedly asked.
"Swim away, just swam under us." The soldier replied.
"How big is that thing?"
"It's big, it looks like it's longer than our raft." The soldier replied with a look of horror as he remembered what he had just done.
"Call the other two rafters, and we'll be back at once." Wang Lang immediately said that since he had discovered the unknown danger and was ready to wander on the surface of the water without being able to distinguish himself, it was definitely the old birthday star who hanged himself and thought that he had a long life.
"But chief, have we just cast our nets and gone back like this?" The soldier said with some reluctance.
"Don't talk nonsense, inform the others, anchor now, and return immediately." Wang Lang ordered in an unquestioning tone.
The soldiers on the raft ordered the newcomers who were used as coolies with some frustration, and after pulling up the anchor made of stone, the soldiers shouted at the top of their voices: "The leader orders, return immediately." ”
The people on the other two rafts were a little unclear, but seeing that the raft where Wang Lang was located had already put away the fishing nets, they had to lift the anchor and collect the nets with full doubts.
Just as the three rafts were slowly moving towards the shore, a circle of ripples suddenly appeared on the water behind them, and this ripple was coming in the direction of everyone at a very fast speed.
The sound of the rapid flow of water attracted the attention of the soldiers on the raft, and one of the soldiers looked back, and suddenly turned pale with fright, and shouted tremblingly: "Monster, water... The monsters in the water are chasing you, run! ”
This shout startled everyone, and some people were about to reprimand the screaming soldier, but when they saw the circle of ripples that were gradually approaching them from behind, they suddenly lost their mind to reprimand, and shouted: "Row quickly, row quickly to the shore." ”
Wang Lang naturally saw this scene, and in fear, he shook the oars with the others and slid quickly towards the shore.
But the speed of the raft was nowhere near that of the monster below the surface, and when it was still about ten meters from the shore, the raft that landed at the back was hit violently.
The raft shook violently from the impact, nearly lifting the people on it into the water.
The frightened people, after standing still a little, urged the oars in fear to escape from this terrible water.
However, the monster under the surface of the water obviously did not want to let go of these delicious prey, and kept attacking the raft under the water, although the impact would not overturn the raft, but the straw rope that bound the wood faintly showed signs of breaking, and seeing that the raft was about to fall apart, the people above were frightened, and shouted loudly while paddling desperately: "Chief, help!" ”
Wang Lang, who was fleeing for his life in front, saw that there were still four or five meters to dock, but when he heard the cry for help from behind him, he looked back, and he was in a cold sweat.
A giant snake with a body as thick as a bucket was churning on the water, and from time to time its exposed body set off a large splash, looking like a dragon going out to sea, and the raft behind it was like duckweed on the sea, which could be destroyed by this beast at any time.
Seeing that his people were about to die in this water, Wang Lang gritted his teeth and said, "Go back with me." ”
"But, chief, what can we do against that monster! , isn't this going to die? The soldier said in horror.
"If you are not afraid of death, follow me, as long as you are a member of this tribe, my Wang Lang will definitely not die without help." Wang Lang said with tears in his eyes.
"I'll go with you, chief."
A soldier rowing a boat, looking determined.
Several other soldiers, as if infected by this atmosphere, shouted angrily: "I will go too, and kill this beast." ”
"Okay, let's go!" Wang Lang waved his hand, and people rushed in the opposite direction.
The people on the shore had already been stunned by the monster that appeared in the edema, although a raft was entangled by the monster, which made them very worried, but seeing that Wang Lang's raft was about to dock, before these people could breathe a sigh of relief, something that made them unable to figure it out happened, and they didn't understand why Wang Lang, who was about to flee from danger, wanted to return.
