Chapter 14 Crossing the River

Looking back, the Great Wall of Forbidden Forbidden not far away shimmered with a dark golden luster, like a sleeping giant.

The passage through which Li Yu had entered had long since disappeared.

He was a little apprehensive, for in the deep forest there were occasional beasts of prey, and occasionally the howling of tigers and wolves could be heard.

"It turns out that the so-called [forbidden area of life] did not appear until the evening. ”

Li Yu's expression was solemn, and he put the page of the turtle breath gong into his arms, and quickly thought about countermeasures in his mind.

"Predictably, the open space under my feet is definitely not safe at night! Li Yu said to himself.

He walked to the original river, ready to scoop up some water to drink, and by the way to see if he could catch a fish to satisfy his stomach, but he didn't want to get closer, and under the red sunset, countless hideous black shadows swept under the river.

With the help of his super eyesight, he could hardly see the appearance of the black shadow, the scales around his body were like layers of sharp knives, a large mouth occupied half of the head, and the mouth was embedded with two rows of uneven sharp teeth.

Knife turtle, also known as piranha, likes to live in groups and is disgusted with light.

Li Yu recalled the knowledge of biology in the beginning, and at this moment, he had no doubt that if he accidentally stumbled and fell into the river, he was afraid that there would be no bones left.

The idea of drinking water was immediately forgotten, and Li Yu just wanted to get out of this damn river as soon as possible. He looked around carefully, three hundred meters to the north belonged to the forest area, the south was mainly a mountain area, there was a small valley about seven hundred meters, a shallow stream was faintly visible, and if you went further southeast, there were continuous mountains, and to the west was a small plain, the wild grass seemed to be more than a meter high, and no one knew what kind of danger was hidden inside.

"Where should I go?" Li Yu muttered.

Theoretically, valleys and plains are relatively less dangerous in terms of risk. But one thing that can't be ignored is that he is now just an unarmed ordinary high school student, and maybe a wolf or a poisonous snake can kill him.

"Forests and mountains are two habitats of large beasts, and the only options are valleys and plains. ”

There were many problems before him, the first of which was that if he wanted to go to the valley, he had to cross the river, and the danger in the river seemed no less than anywhere else. Second, if you go to the plains, no one knows what terrible things are hidden in the dense weeds.

Li Yu was caught in a dilemma.

He preferred to stay on the plains for the night, but his instincts told him that staying on the plains would be absolutely life-threatening.

Seeing that the sun was setting in the west, and the night was coming soon after, there was not much time left for Li Yu.

Li Yuxin was ruthless, but he still chose to take a risk.

"Go to the valley!"

There are several feasible means to deal with the sword-turtle, first of all, you can use fire, the sword-turtle is light-wearing, and will instinctively gather in the dark waters. Secondly, you can use meat bait, although the knife turtle is also known as piranha, but any flesh and blood has a strong attraction to it.

Li Yu directly gave up the means of using meat bait, not to mention whether he could find the prey in a short time, even if he could find it, it was uncertain who the prey was!

He immediately gathered some dry wood and hay, but fortunately it was the height of summer, and these two things were easy to find, so he first found a rotten log, broke the dry branches into sticks, and piled a circle of hay and pine silk at the end of the wood, and began to drill the wood for fire.

Li Yu rubbed the branches frantically with his two hands, which lasted for nearly ten minutes, and the haystack did not move at all, and there was no sign of fire at all. Seeing that the time was getting less and less, he began to become impatient, his two hands frustrated harder and harder, and his right hand accidentally wore out the skin and oozing blood.

The sweat on Li Yu's forehead was dripping down, and he wanted to kick this rotten wood away countless times, but reason still forced him to keep repeating the action of drilling wood for fire.

Finally, the hard work paid off, a faint white smoke rose from the haystack, Li Yu almost cried with joy, and hurriedly blew in with his mouth, and the movements in his hands sped up a few points.

Mars grew from nothing, from small to large, quickly devouring the hay, Li Yu hurriedly put up the torch and lit it, and at the same time swore in his heart: "As long as I am alive, I must carry a lighter with me in the future!"

At this time, only a vague outline of the sun can be seen in the west, and it will be dark in about half an hour.

Li Yu held a torch and walked along the river to the east, preparing to cross the river in the shallow water. The river is about three meters wide, with nearly two meters in deep water and only half a meter deep in shallow water. He walked for nearly five minutes, choosing a section of the river that looked the shallowest and preparing to cross the river quickly.

Li Yu took off his shoes and socks and threw them on the other side of the river, rolled up his trouser legs, took a deep breath by the river, and said in his mouth: "O all-knowing and all-powerful God! Buddha with boundless power! And the benevolent and beautiful Guanyin Bodhisattva! Please bless me with a smooth crossing of the river!"

Standing on the bank of the river, he saw the black shadows floating in the river, and countless sword turtles swimming in the water, Li Yu looked at such a huge number of life-seeking monsters, only to feel that his legs were weak, but he still beat his spirit, stretched out the torch to the surface of the river, and the yellow flame emitted a bright light, dispelling the scattered darkness.

And as soon as the black shadow in the water touched the firelight, it scattered like a frightened bird, Li Yu saw this, and his heart was pleasantly surprised, because to be honest, he was not fully sure of the fact that he was tired of the sword turtle.

Seeing that the method was effective, Li Yu no longer hesitated and immediately started the plan to cross the river.

He held the unburned torch in one hand, the trouser leg in the other, and the two feet went into the water one after another, a cold feeling lifted his spirits, and the firelight cleaned the water in front of him, but the worrying thing was that those black shadows did not go away, but hid in a place where the fire could not shine for the time being, staring at him, looking like they would pounce on him and tear him apart at any moment.

Li Yu's heart was in his throat, and he waded cautiously through the water, with a layer of smooth pebbles and fine sand under his feet.

Thirty seconds later, Li Yu had walked two-thirds of the way, only one meter away from the other side of the river, his feet accelerated, and he wanted to quickly escape from this ghost place, but unexpectedly, there was a slippery touch from his ankles.

Something grabbed his right ankle!

Li Yu's feet staggered, although the torch did not fall into the water, but the splashing waves soaked most of the torch, and the fire quickly dimmed.

Li Yu secretly said in his heart that something was wrong, only to see that the black shadows around him were approaching dozens of centimeters again, and he immediately bent down to tear off the aquatic weeds that were wrapped around his ankles, but as soon as his hand was forced, the aquatic weeds were not broken, and his hand was cut by the aquatic weeds instead!

In this short moment, Li Yu realized that the situation was wrong, and when the blood flowed from the wound, he could feel that the piranhas around him immediately became manic.

"Let's go!"

Li Yu only had this thought left in his heart, he desperately pulled the aquatic weeds, and the aquatic weeds at his ankles finally loosened, but the wounds on his hands and legs were also scratched deeper and deeper, and a large amount of blood poured into the water.

Blood has the deadliest temptation for piranhas, so deadly that it can make them overcome the most primitive fears, and countless black shadows rushed towards Li Yu's location like moths to a fire!

Li Yu's heart was beating wildly, and he used all his strength to finally break free from the shackles of aquatic plants at the last moment!

The brain has a normal reflex, and with a strong step, it jumps directly to the nearby riverbank.

Hearing only the muffled sound of "Peng", Li Yu fell straight to the grass, and then looked back at the calm water, he couldn't calm his soaring heartbeat for a long time.

At that moment, he was only a few centimeters away from death.
