Chapter 384: Stranger

The prey decomposed quickly, and the amphibian, which was more than three meters long, was cut into several pieces and transported in batches, and put by idle people near the camp.

It took more than an hour to do all this, and the hot weather combined with strenuous physical labor made everyone sweat.

The team members took off their shirts and tied them around their waists and sat shirtless on the ground to rest.

"We'll have to try this pool with the internal organs of this thing in a moment, and we'll have to make sure it's completely safe." The captain's voice rang in everyone's ears.

The rest of the people agreed with this suggestion, after all, their own lives were more important than exertion.

Hiding in the shade of a tree and resting for more than half an hour, people collected the scattered entrails.

Zhou Yu took a handful of intestines and threw them vigorously into the pool, but until the intestines sank, there was no response on the surface of the water.

Seeing this, most people thought that the waterhole was safe, but as the leader of the expedition, he had to take responsibility for the names of his subordinates, and the bait sank into the waterhole and could not see what was happening.

"This temptation won't work, we've just killed one of these things, and it's not going to work to lure it ashore with bait in a short time, I think we should find another way to see if there's anything like this in here."

"Does the captain have any great ideas?"

Someone asked.

"Well, I think we should make a big fishing rod, like fishing, tie the bait to the rod and put it in the pool, if there are still large beasts, if the bait doesn't move in a day, it basically means that the pool is safe."

The captain said in a deep voice.

Everyone thought that this method was feasible, and everyone didn't care about continuing to rest, so they hurriedly made this special "fishing rod".

A fishing rod is actually a slender piece of wood, as long as it can hang the bait.

Two small trees four or five meters high were cut down and two pieces of wood were joined, and the weapon was made of thicker wood to make a support, so that the rod could be fixed to the edge of the pool.

After several hours of busy work, this huge fishing rod was finally prepared, and a lump of more than ten catties of meat was hung on a straw rope, and four or five people carried the fish to the edge of the pool.

The heavy bait bent the rod a little, so that people were worried that the rod would break if the prey was not attracted.

Fortunately, after looking at it for a while, the rod was still very strong, so people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After holding the tail of the rod down with stones, only three men were left to guard the place, and the rest continued to prepare to cross the river.

There are weeds everywhere, and rope can be made from bark even without weeds.

They don't need to be strong ropes, as long as they can hold on for a while, this pool is only ten meters wide, as long as you row a little faster, you can pass it quickly.

The water was flat, and occasionally a few finger-sized dragonflies landed on the fishing rod and wiped their bulging eyes with their two forefeet.

The people who are guarding here are constantly yawning, and the leisure afternoon makes them feel very tired, and it is definitely a pleasure to be able to sleep at this time.

Until the evening, the waterhole is still calm, although sometimes the rod understands a few times, but the amplitude is relatively slight, maybe the fish in the water come to eat the delicious food floating here.

In one day, only a small part of the materials for making the raft were collected, and it was estimated that it would take several days to finish.

This sheltered camp made the team less dangerous, and for a few days, the rest of the beasts rarely frequented the camp except for the fear of monsters in the water.

When people wake up in the morning, the bait is still the same.

This is undoubtedly good news for everyone, which shows that there are basically no large beasts in this waterhole.

The unthreatened team members began to make a raft to cross the river with all their might, and after traveling thousands of miles, everyone understood that they were not here to be entangled by wild men and wild beasts.

On this day, everyone's energy was focused on re-making the raft, which made the progress of the raft making much faster.

Three days later, the raft was finally completed, and two rafts were able to transport more than a dozen people at the same time, along with supplies.

The crowd used three logs as wheels to transport the raft, and wasted all their strength to send the raft they loved into the water.

After moving the house onto the raft, everyone boarded the raft, and the sudden increase in weight caused the raft to shake again on the water, and when everyone stood firm, they began to think about floating on the other side.

Fearing the danger in the water, the paddlers kept their eyes on the surface of the water vigilantly and did not dare to be careless.

The raft moved fast at a speed, and after a minute, it finally came to the opposite shore without danger.

Together, they dragged the two rafts ashore, and perhaps they would be of use later.

On the other side of the river, there are abundant aquatic plants, and the rocks on the bank are waist-high reeds.

This place has a very dangerous feeling.

After setting up the raft, more than a dozen people cautiously moved forward.

Zhou Yu this time as a pathfinder, holding a long wooden stick and then open the way, this dense weed is likely to hide a poisonous snake under the mouthful, if you are bitten, it can be said that the gods will not survive.

Fortunately, the reed field is not very large, and it took an hour to get out of here.

The captain stood on a rock and looked around.

The mountains here are high and sparsely forested, and although there are trees, they are not secret, and there is often another tree at a great distance.

There are not many large trees, but low shrubs can be found everywhere, and some plants that are more than one person tall have brightly colored fruits on them, and although these fruits seem to be thirsty, no one feels easy to try things they don't recognize.

As far as the public could see, there was a low basin on the ground, surrounded on three sides by high mountains except for the narrow passage at the entrance.

The captain put his hand on the pergola and looked at it for a while, and then said to the people, "We are heading towards the hill over there, there seems to be a cave over there, and we will set up camp there for the time being, and we will explore this area in the meantime. ”

With that, he jumped down from the rock and led the team towards the hill on that side.

Mountaineering is a very difficult thing to do, seeing that the target is very close to you, but in the process you have to climb over small hills.

When everyone came to the foot of the mountain, they were already exhausted, and they couldn't reach the cave before dark, so they had no choice but to find a relatively hidden place to camp nearby.

The night in the mountains and forests was much more lively than by the waterhole, and as the night came, the soldiers on duty could see a pair of shining eyes passing around the camp in the dark, and the slightest wild beast looking at it always made the atmosphere very tense.

Fortunately, these beasts seemed to have little interest in humans, and after observing them for a while, they quietly left the place.

Zhou Yu was able to reach his relatives in Xia Guo in his sleep again, the corners of his mouth unconsciously showed a smile, and he dreamed that he was lifted in the scientific examination, wearing a red flower on his chest and a champion hat on his head, surrounded by thousands of people, starting from the imperial city, enjoying the envious eyes of people.

But as soon as the picture turned, everything in front of him disappeared, he found himself in a deep mountain and old forest, there was no one around, there were green beasts everywhere, these hungry beasts stared at themselves, as if they would pounce on themselves and tear themselves apart in the next moment, Zhou Yu wanted to escape, but he was horrified to find that his legs didn't need a little strength at all, and those beasts suddenly disappeared like ghosts at this time, and the next moment, a bloody mouth full of fangs appeared in front of him, Straight at himself.

Under this fright, Zhou Yu came over as soon as he got out of the stars, sat up and looked around, only to find that all this was a dream.

wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, looked at the direction of the moon, rubbed his face, walked to the team member on night duty and said, "You go sleep for a while, I'll be on duty for the night." ”

"It's not your night yet, so I'll do it." The man replied.

"I can't sleep, you go sleep."

The man looked at Zhou Yu, yawned, and said, "Okay, then you be careful." ”

Zhou Yu nodded, holding his weapon and leaning against a big tree.

The other two night watchmen looked this way, then withdrew their gaze, yawned, and stared at the stars in a bored daze.

The night was quiet, except for the salsa of the breeze blowing through the trees, only the summer insects chirped again.

A few fireflies occasionally flew in front of Zhou Yu, and in the dark night, it looked as if the stars were right in front of him.

Feeling the coolness of the night, Zhou Yu smiled, although the adventure was tiring and dangerous, but it was also a rare experience, first of all, for the noisy Xia Kingdom, it made people's mood extremely relaxed.

Zhou Yu wanted to write a poem or write an article to praise these beautiful things in front of him, but after racking his brains, he found that his talent was not enough to accomplish such a difficult thing, and finally he could only laugh at himself.

"Rustle!"

Just when Zhou Yu was thinking wildly, in a trance, he seemed to hear a sound of footsteps nearby, but the sound was fleeting, as if it had never appeared.

I looked at the other two companions on night duty, and saw that they were still bored there, and they didn't notice anything unusual.

Zhou Yu shook his head, secretly saying that he was too careful, maybe an animal was passing by nearby just now.

Not long after Zhou Yu felt that he was hallucinating, Sasha's voice appeared again.

This time Zhou Yu heard it very clearly, and the sound was obviously very close to this side, and it sounded like there were quite a few of them.

This discovery frightened Zhou Yu to stand up from the ground all of a sudden, and whispered to the other two with a weapon: "There is a situation." ”

When the wicked man heard this, he suddenly lost his lazy appearance, and hurriedly got up and rushed towards Zhou Yu.

"What's going on?" One asked.

Zhou Yu pointed in the direction where the voice came from and said, "It seems that something is approaching us over there." ”

The two of them frowned when they heard this, they didn't find anything now, it was pitch black, and they couldn't see anything clearly.

"Did you hear me? Don't scare us. ”

"Am I kidding, there really is a situation, go and call them up quickly." Zhou Yu said anxiously.

The wicked looked at each other suspiciously, nodded randomly, and sent someone to wake up the sleeping crowd.

The sweet people who were sleeping were suddenly disturbed by their dreams, and they were very annoyed, and they opened their confused eyes and asked, "What's the matter, it shouldn't be my turn to be on duty yet." ”

"Don't sleep, there's a situation." One person said hurriedly.

Although the captain didn't know what was going on, if he woke himself up in the middle of the night, something was definitely wrong.

Hurriedly organized the people and gathered around the fire with weapons.

"Sasha! Salsa! ”

There was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps, but the sound did not come this way, and the twenty faded away.

"It's like a human voice." Said with a voice.

The captain nodded and said: "It is indeed the sound of human walking, there should be wild people around here, everyone be careful tonight, the number of people on duty at night has doubled." ”

"Captain, why did they run away again when they found us?"

The captain snorted coldly and said: "What's wrong with this, it is estimated that they see a lot of us and dare not easily contact us, don't worry about it so much, let's just pay attention to it in the future, even if they live here, they can see them sooner or later." ”

The sudden appearance of the wild men disturbed the calm of the expedition, and the crowd became nervous, and those wild men were obviously more of a threat to themselves than the beasts came.

This night, when three people were on duty, it became six people on duty, knowing that in the early morning, those wild people who were hidden in the dark did not appear again.

The next day, the team members left here in a hurry to take out the cave, and now the most important thing is to find a place to settle down.

As long as there is a relatively safe camp, there is nothing to fear as for the wild people who wander around.

Although these students are not soldiers, they are not weak scholars in another world, and in terms of physical fitness, they are far from being comparable to those savages who can't get enough to eat, plus sophisticated weapons, these fifteen people cooperate, and these small tribes of savages are not their opponents at all.

The cave is located at the foot of this high mountain, and it took a few hours of walking to get there.

When people walked there, they found that this is not a cave, but a huge rock protrusion, I don't know what caused the mountain under the rock to collapse in a large area, leaving only a huge rock mass nearly ten meters long hanging in the air, although this is not a real cave, but this can also be used as a foothold for the expedition, there is a shelter from the rain on the head, at least much stronger than living in the wild.
