Chapter 214: Manatee

After playing for a while, the three girls came ashore, each holding a bunch of clams in their hands, laughing and drifting away.

The peeking man also ran away.

The seaside slowly fell silent.

Convinced that they had gone far, Li Chaoyang dragged the bamboo raft and continued to move forward against the bushes.

After walking a distance, the front became cheerful, and the shore was built with a mud platform, the earth platform was smooth, and several paths extended from the earth platform to the river, and some debris and animal fur were scattered in the water and grass, and it seemed that this place should be a place where the aborigines washed things.

This area is very open, and it is very unrealistic for the bamboo to be drained in, and Wu Aile was chased into this river in a hurry, and it is estimated that it was also discovered by the natives here.

The estuary is quite open, and the swamp on Snake Island in front of it is nothing to mention, and the junction of dark and light water is very obvious.

The confluence of brackish and fresh water gathers a large number of minerals and microorganisms, attracting a large number of fish, which are densely packed and jump out of the sea from time to time to reveal white-gray scales.

A large number of waterfowl gather on the surrounding trees and aquatic plants, and from time to time they gallop across the water and pick up a fish to rise into the air.

Seemingly deserted island, Elysium Island is very rich in products, far from the invasion of human beings, they grow unscrupulously in this wilderness, and the complete biological chain allows them to reproduce freely in this area for tens of thousands of years, and the beautiful side of nature is perfectly reflected here.

It is not for nothing that humans are the cancer of the planet.

Perhaps it is because of these abundant resources that indigenous people have lived until now.

The speed of the river is also very slow, but the water temperature is much lower than that of the sea, and even a little cold, Li Chaoyang went upriver into the river.

After a certain distance upstream, the river gradually narrowed, becoming only about ten meters wide, but the current speed was much faster.

Li Chaoyang tasted it, and it was already completely fresh water.

Suddenly, two black shadows flashed under Li Chaoyang's feet, Li Chaoyang was frightened, and immediately swam to the shore, staring at the water with his eyes.

Another black shadow swam over, and this time Li Chaoyang saw clearly, the thing should be at least a meter long, it should be some kind of fish.

"Whoa!"

A dark figure surfaced, with a long mouth and a streamlined figure, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the sea.

It turned out to be a dolphin.

A false alarm.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps on the shore, and Li Chaoyang quickly squatted down and hid in the aquatic plants, but the surrounding aquatic plants were too shallow to stop people at all.

Seeing this, Li Chaoyang casually picked up a plastic bag, blocked the muzzle, took a deep breath, and got into the water.

The water of the river is crystal clear, the green aquatic plants float back and forth along the water bottom, and the fish burrow in and out of the aquatic plants, spitting small bubbles.

Walking through the aquatic plants is like being in a fairyland, and it really feels like a person swimming in a painting.

Li Chaoyang closed his breath and paddled forward vigorously, until he couldn't hold it anymore and then surfaced.

A huge thorn appeared before him, its spiky branches drooping into the water for nourishment, and the green leaves were covered with small thumb-sized fruits.

Green, red, purple, one by one, delicate, gently swaying in the wind.

Li Chaoyang couldn't help but pick up a bunch and threw it into his mouth.

The sweet and sour juice suddenly overflowed my mouth, and the taste was amazing.

These things are rich in minerals and sugars, which can greatly replenish the body's missing energy, Li Chaoyang ate several handfuls in one breath before stopping, considering Tong Fei, he took out the kettle again, and filled the pot after pouring out the water.

At this moment, Li Chaoyang felt that the branches around him suddenly moved, he thought he had touched it, and subconsciously turned his head, and a huge black figure appeared in front of Li Chaoyang without warning, this guy is at least more than two meters long, and his broad back is at least one meter, less than one meter away from Li Chaoyang.

Such a behemoth did not make a sound at all, and a large number of branches were pulled into the water by it.

Li Chaoyang's whole person was like being struck by lightning, and he didn't dare to move.

This thing is clearly not a dolphin, because it is eating the vines, dolphins are carnivores, they will never eat grass.

Could it be a crocodile?

Li Chaoyang immediately overturned this idea, and crocodiles are also carnivores.

Li Chaoyang slowly twisted the lid of the kettle, grabbed the aquatic plants on the side and moved a step to the side, he felt that his feet were a little disobedient.

This thing is really too big, and Li Chaoyang is definitely not its opponent when it really fights.

"Whoa!"

More and more branches were torn down, bitten off and bounced up, and even the thumb-thick branches could not escape the mouths of the other party.

Just as Li Chaoyang was about to get the gun, the thing surfaced, it was a bearded, wrinkled mouth, long tongue curled up the branch and sent it to the mouth, and no one else chewed it.

The cow-like mouth undoubtedly says a lot about who it is.

Manatee!

A hundred years ago, this animal spread all over the world, but because of the destruction and killing of humans, their numbers have declined dramatically and are on the verge of extinction.

Now to see them, you have to go to the oceanarium.

Li Chaoyang didn't expect to see them here, although the manatees are huge, they are indeed authentic herbivores, gentle and timid, and rarely show up.

They are able to come to the mouth of the river to feed in the freshwater river, which shows that they have no natural predators here, and if there are crocodiles living here, they probably won't come.

The manatee completely ignored Li Chaoyang and ate the note by himself.

The sweet wild fruit is not only a favorite of humans, but also of these herbivores.

Although they were harmless, after all, they were huge, and Li Chaoyang didn't want to provoke them, so he bypassed them and continued to move forward.

At this time, a steep river bank attracted Li Chaoyang's attention, and there were two thick trees growing on the riverside, the dense branches and leaves hung down to the river, and a white lifeboat was gently swaying on the bank of the oblique recessed mountain wall.

Boat!

Li Chaoyang found Wu Aile's ship!

And it's a real lifeboat, this boat is about five meters long, and it's not a problem to carry three or five people at all.

Compared with the raft lifeboat, it is much larger, and more durable, the most important thing is that it has a higher waterline, excellent sealing, and the hollow design will not capsize even if it encounters a storm, and it will not sink even if it capsizes, and it can continue to be used if it is turned over.

Li Chaoyang's tears of excitement were about to fall, Wu Aile didn't lie to him, he really had a boat.

With this boat, Li Chaoyang and they will be able to leave Elysium Island.

With it, you can return to civilization.

Li Chaoyang quickly paddled straight to the lifeboat.
