Chapter 0401 - Logging and Crossing the River (First Shift)

"However, Brother Guan, you giant tiger is indeed majestic...... Mighty...... It's no wonder we get scared when we see it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 At this moment, Di Liang carried his spear and asked, "Listen to your meaning, you plan to go all the way north, right?" ”

Seeing Guan Heng and them nodding their heads, Di Liang continued: "If that's the case, it's not far beyond our stockade, it's the 'Shikuan Mountain', the territory of the Bai Nan tribe, one of the six major tribes in the north of Chongguo, if you want to go there, you have to pass through our stockade, so let's go back to the village with me, how about staying overnight?" ”

Guan Heng hurriedly nodded and smiled: "This is very good, we are having the intention of bothering, then thank you Brother Di for your kindness." ”

The group of hunters saw that the Ghost Devourer seemed to be very docile, and that the giant tiger was accompanied by two eccentric creatures, the Elephant Snake Bird and the Sharp-billed Mountain Ray, which made everyone very happy, so they were all relieved and bold to accompany them left and right. In this way, Guan Heng and his party marched forward with Di Liang, and the target was the Sangzhu Village, a human settlement located in the mountains in front of them.

Di Liang walked and chatted with Guan Heng along the way, he thought that he would lead the way, and everyone would be able to return to Sangzhu Village quickly by taking a shortcut, but when he was halfway there, he encountered some small conditions, which was because a river in front of him suddenly rose.

"Huh? It's really strange that the water level of this Mengzi River usually does not rise until the end of autumn every year, so why is it so many months earlier this year? Di Liang looked at the river bank in front of him at this time, and then said with a sad face: "It seems that the wooden bridge on the river has been completely washed away and swept away, if we don't go this way, we will have to take a day's detour to return to Sangzhu Village, which is too delayed." ”

"I see, that's not good." Guan Heng scratched his head, and then looked at the helpless hunters behind him, and when he was about to say that he was going to think of a way, Shang Tianlin suddenly shouted: "Hey, Brother Guan, look at the things in the water." ”

Following the direction of Shang Tianlin's finger, Guan Heng suddenly found that there was a huge beast corpse floating on the water, the body and face that were soaked in the river water and turned white looked extremely terrifying and a little disgusting, Guan Heng saw that there seemed to be something foreign on the body of the demon beast that resembled a bison, and when he looked closer, he found that there was a black thing nailed to it.

"Hey, snake bird, bring that piece in your mouth and let me see it." Hearing Guan Heng's words, the snake bird swept away from the water with its wings and trembling, it stopped on the floating corpse of the demon beast for a while, pecked and worked hard with its sharp beak and claws for a while, and finally flew back to the shore with the swarthy thing in its mouth.

"It turned out to be a rotten piece of broken wood, it's nothing." After Shang Tianlin glanced at it, she covered her nose and frowned and said, "And there is a rancid smell, hurry up and throw it away!" ”

"Wait, there's something different about this." Guan Heng stretched out his fingers at this time and picked up the broken wood to take a closer look, he said: "There are a few traces of sharp claws scratching on the broken wood, looking at this appearance, it looks like some kind of ...... Similar to the paw prints left by a giant tiger. ”

Ah Gou next to him reached out to take the wood and looked at it carefully, he nodded and said, "I'm sure this is some kind of claw trace left by a demon tiger, there will be no mistake." ”

Hearing Ah Gou's words, all the hunters present, including Di Liang, were stunned, and Di Liang said with a panicked face at this time: "Twenty miles across the river bank is Sangzhu Village, could it be that this is the range of activities of the trolls and demon tigers?!" ”

"Oh no, my wife and children are still in the village, and they don't know what happened." "My father and mother have difficulty moving, we have been out for five days, I have been worried, I really want to return to Sangzhu Village as soon as possible."

At this time, Guan Heng heard the anxious discussion of the hunters, so he raised his voice and said: "Don't worry, everyone, after seeing this river, you can go home, according to my opinion, there is no need to make a detour, as long as everyone works together to build a bridge." ”

"But...... We had spears and hunting forks on us, and we didn't have axes that could cut wood or anything like that. At this moment, Di Liang scratched his head and said with some sorrow: "The jungle and the banks of the river here are all towering ancient trees that hug each other, how can we cut them down?" ”

"It doesn't take much effort to knock down a tree!" As soon as Ah Gou's words came out, his body rushed to a huge tree, and he swung his fist "Bang Bang" and slammed the wind three times, only to hear a piercing cracking sound, and the ancient tree actually fell down in front of Ah Gou, splashing countless dust.

"Wow, that's amazingβ€”" The hunter horse of Sangzhuzhai was stunned when he saw Ah Dog folding and hugging the thick ancient tree with his fist.

But Guan Heng said with a nonchalant face: "Do you see it?" During our journey, we used this method to open roads in the mountains and build bridges in the water, and it was very simple. ”

Hearing this, Di Liang rubbed his tongue back into his mouth because he was pulled out of his lips in surprise, and he said hesitantly: "I said Brother Guan, what seems simple and ordinary to you, how can we ordinary people do it?" ”

"Hahaha, then I won't talk nonsense." Glancing at the width of the river, Guan Heng asked with a smile at this time, "Brother Di Liang, do you still need to knock down a few trees to build the bridge?" ”

"Hmm...... In my opinion, four more ancient trees of the same thickness and length should be able to build a wooden bridge that we can all get through safely. Di Liang was gearing up at this time, and said to the hunters behind him: "Hey, don't just look at it, who was complaining about not being able to go home in time just now, why don't you hurry up and help build the bridge!" ”

"Yes, yes, let's do it together." Everyone immediately rolled up their arms and sleeves, and started working in full swing, they all knew that if there were no Guan Heng and Ah Gou with them, how could they cross the river? So they all worked harder and harder.

After a short while, a brand-new sturdy wooden bridge had been built on the shallows of the riverbank, and seeing the increasingly turbulent river continue to surge, Di Liang hurriedly waved his hand and shouted: "Everyone, the water is about to rise again, let's cross the river quickly, if we hesitate a little, this place will soon be flooded." ”

Guan Heng stood on the river bank at this time and said to his companions: "Ruotao, you and Tian Lin, Ah Dog, and Ghost Devouring Tiger hurry up and follow Di Liang across the river. Ruo Tao asked a little inexplicably, "Hey, what are you going to do, Childe?" Don't you cross the river with us? ”

"I'd like to take a few more looks at the floating corpse of the monster beast in the river." Guan Heng said at this time: "I don't know what's going on, I have a familiar feeling of that guy, you cross the river first, and I'll follow later." ”
