The protagonist is shocked, he is really injured!?

But he examined his body carefully, moved his limbs, and did not feel anything unusual. Aside from the fact that there is some blood flowing near the blowholes and being covered in wet moisture, the protagonist does not notice anything different.

Maybe it's a small problem like a human bleeding gum or a bleeding nose, the protagonist comforts himself.

After checking the body, in an instant, the protagonist no longer remembers the terrible dream just now, this traumatic dream seems to have suddenly healed itself, or it is forcibly forgotten based on the body's protection mechanism, or it is blocked for some mysterious reason, and the reason is unknown.

The protagonist also feels as if he has forgotten something, he sits in the cabin, thinking hard, but the memory just now is like the grass burned by the flames, the salt heap washed by the flowing water, and it disappears cleanly.

After a while, the protagonist's mind diverges from here, remembering yesterday's experience, yesterday's rain, the fluttering fleet.

There is hardly the slightest light in the cabin, and the protagonist doesn't know what time it is, and his own biological clock has always been weak.

The Praetorian Guards next door were quiet, only occasionally noticing the sound of the rope. Based on this, the protagonist judges that it is not yet daylight, otherwise these warriors with accurate biological clocks should start moving.

Since the protagonist issued the order to force sleep, unless there is an emergency, the warriors of the god king will rest from sunset until sunrise, even if they can't sleep, they can't run around. In this way, not only is the life expectancy of the ants greatly extended, but the protagonist is able to deduce the approximate time from this.

Staying in the cramped and crowded cabin for a long time, the protagonist feels a little flustered and panting, and the surrounding darkness is thick as if there is substance, pressing himself tightly, and the feeling in his heart is very uncomfortable, as if he was afraid of something just now.

The protagonist walks through the cargo stacked in the cabin and arrives at the hatch, wanting to see if the heavy rain outside has stopped. The hatch is hidden, and there is a hint of coolness and wetness in the gap, which makes the protagonist's body a little more comfortable.

There were also raindrops sticking in from the cracks, some of which had gathered into droplets the size of soybeans and hung on the walls. The protagonist feels thirsty and leans over to suck it, the water drops are cold in his mouth, and the burning discomfort in his heart is suppressed a lot.

With the cooperation of his front limbs, he untied the ant-wire rope, pushed open the hatch cover, and pulled half of his body out to the cold and dim outside.

At this time, the walnut boat was already sailing relatively smoothly, but it was up and down regularly, and it was obvious that it was not the appearance of strong winds and stormy waves outside.

When the protagonist is halfway out, the sky is still dark, with only a faint light on the distant horizon, which is supposed to be the southeast, where it is pale. This is clearly the time when the sun has not yet risen.

The protagonist looks up at the sky, the sky is still densely covered with clouds, and there is almost no crevice, and it seems that it is at least a cloudy day today.

However, the rain almost stopped, except for the occasional raindrop, a drop of rain that smashed on the mast umbrella cover above the protagonist's head, "snapped" and splashed into countless crystals, then dripped onto the brown surface of the walnut boat, and finally slipped into the water.

The protagonist watches these droplets of water flow into the water, and suddenly his heart tightens.

He saw the waters on the side of the boat!

At this time, the current is very fast, but the waves are not large, and they are all turbulent in one direction, not like when they were in the big lake before, the water waves are calm. Moreover, these water-brown yellows, almost the same color as the hulls of walnut boats, are not the clear colors of the familiar Great Lake.

The protagonist looks up and casts a low night, and finally the shadow is about to see a thick black shadow not far from both sides, which is the vegetation, rocks, and curves of the hillsides on both sides!

The protagonist feels a sense of relief, and he realizes that the walnut fleet is not in the lake at all, but in the middle of the river, and is rushing downstream with the rising river.

It turns out that just as the protagonist returns to the cabin to rest and the light of day falls, the walnut fleet has been carried into the river by the wind and water from the great lake through the mouth of the lake.

At this time, it is the rainy season when the water from the large lake is constantly pouring into the river, and the wind direction is also southerly.

The protagonist is completely unaware of the fact that the fleet once crashed into the shore at the mouth of the river, but was soon carried away by the turbulent current.

At this time, the river was full of sediment and flowing water, and the speed of the water was very fast, and after the night, it was already far away from the homeland with the walnut fleet and the ants inside!

It was when the protagonist figured this out that he was startled.

Watch the water flow under the boat, flapping and rolling, heading east. The power of the river is so great that an unpowered fleet cannot defeat the current, and even a strong east wind will not work.

The protagonist knows that if he is trapped in the water all the time, he will not be able to go to the swamp as originally planned. If you want to get to the swamp, you have to go back.

And now in this situation, the protagonist is in a hurry, knowing that he must go to the shore as soon as possible and anchor and wait for this flood peak to pass and the water flow will be calm before making plans. Or simply abandon the ship and land, from the south bank of the river, through an unfamiliar land route to the destination.

Whether it is returning against the current or landing on foot, the fleet needs to dock first, and the assistance of the flying knights.

The Flying Knights are probably still sheltering from the rain in a shelter on the shore of the Great Lake, and when it is dawn, they will probably set off to find the fleet.

But after they have not been able to find a fleet in the Great Lake, will they think of searching downstream along the Great River? The protagonist is not sure, after all, the protagonist himself did not expect such a situation of being carried so far away from the route by the flood.

The protagonist only feels like he has been making a water reversal for the past two years, and everything is not going well, many times it is clear that the plan is very Zhou Xiang, but there will always be unexpected circumstances that cause the situation to be reversed in an instant, this is the case when the collapse of the big banyan tree caused the destroyer to invade the south shore on a large scale, and now the fleet is carried far downstream by the flood.

One can only hope that the Flying Knight will not give up the search.

The protagonist cheers himself up, and in addition to counting on the flying knights, the ants on the ship also have to find a way to save themselves and let the fleet find a way to anchor on the shore.

The ship itself is powered only by the sails, and it is still a south wind, and when the rain stops completely at dawn, the protagonist intends to let the ant sailors raise their sails to the full sails, and rely on the wind to let the fleet sail to the north shore to grab the beach, and fix it to the shore with ropes.

Although the fleet should be anchored on the south shore if it is intended to return by land, the wind is not in the right direction now, and it is imperative to dock first!
