Chapter 406: Back to the Forest
Below is a huge underground dark river, the water temperature in the river is very high, there are countless tributaries of the same river, erupting from the mountain wall, like a large water tap, confluence into the main river below, there are many raised stone holes on both sides, constantly emitting white high-temperature gas, some stone crevices have some dark red flame slurry, it seems that this may be an underground volcanic belt.
The temperature of the river was too high, and Shiso struggled desperately to climb up a huge rock by the river in the rapids, and found that even this stone was warm, and there was a fire of lava nearby, with the light of the fire, it could be seen that the surrounding geological structure was a very dangerous periodic activity of volcanic limestone soil, not a place to stay for a long time.
Just as Shiso was about to rest and continue to climb up, suddenly the mountain wall shook violently, the water of the underground river exploded, and the air was full of the smell of Liusu, and waves of heat rushed up from below.
The volcano under the riverbed began to move, and the incident happened suddenly, which caught Shiso by surprise and almost fell into the river.
He hurriedly climbed a relatively gentle slope, sat down and took a few breaths, and was shocked, only to see that the shaking of the ground was becoming more and more violent, and the wall of the volcanic rock could collapse at any time.
Inadvertently, Shisu raised his head, and suddenly found that a few hundred meters away from the top of his head, a slender white light appeared, his eyes were dazzling, and his eyes tingled, what was that? Could it be that some kind of monster can't be?
When I opened my eyes again and looked at them, I couldn't help but be surprised: "My good boy, this is the sky!" It's the sky! ”
The shaking of the underground volcano caused an earthquake, and the earth above his head cracked a big crack, and he hadn't seen the sky outside for too long, and Shiso had almost forgotten what the sky was like, whether it was blue or white.
The sound of shaking below became more and more intense, the heat wave rolled in, and the strong smell of Liusu choked Shiso's dizziness, and he was very worried that the crack would be shaken and closed by the earthquake again, and the sooner he went out, the better, and now he had to use the strength of a hundred meters to sprint on the steep slope of forty-five degrees, and rush to the top to get out of danger.
The higher you go, the more broken the volcanic rock, some of them are like sand, it is difficult to gain a foothold, climb up three feet, and fall back two feet, the skin on the paws of the perilla is worn off, and I don't care about the pain, I clench my teeth, and even kick and plane, four or five hundred meters high, it is as difficult as climbing the peak of a snowy mountain, and after all my physical strength is exhausted, I finally return to the ground.
The blue sky and white clouds, the mountains on both sides are undulating, the place where the perilla climbs up is a section of the snow-capped mountain valley, and it is also the lowest area in the snow-capped mountain plateau, and the nearest primeval forest from the hilly area is only more than 30 kilometers away.
When night fell, he made his way to the edge of the primeval forest, then entered the vast forest, and climbed to a large locust tree to camp for the night.
In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, he was awakened by the sound of various birds around him, and after stretching his waist, he felt that his stomach was rumbling with hunger, so he climbed down from the tree and looked for something to eat, regardless of whether it was dawn or not.
After walking around the neighborhood for more than half an hour, the sky was bright, and it didn't take long for Shiso to be pleasantly surprised to find that there was still a small bamboo forest here.
Immediately, he went into the bamboo forest, looking for bamboo shoots and tender bamboo leaves to eat, at this time it was nearly late autumn, bamboo shoots and tender bamboo leaves are very few, he had to grab some bamboo leaves to fill his belly, and it was not good to be picky again.
After eating the bamboo leaves, Shiso felt a little dry mouth, so he went to look for a water source, and in this towering and dense forest sea, he turned around, and soon lost his way, and finally simply chose a very tall cedar tree, climbed to the canopy, looked around, and then listened with his ears, and found that there seemed to be the sound of water flowing two or three miles to the southwest.
Then, he used the ape's "swing" method, grasping the relatively strong branches with both hands, swinging from one tree to another, so that it didn't take long to use this unique "air corridor" in the forest to come to a big waterfall, such a big waterfall, seven white jade dragon-like waterfalls rushed down from the mountain, the waves rolled, surging, as if ten thousand horses galloping.
Shiso happily slipped down from the tree, came to the waterhole under the waterfall, squatted down and prepared to drink water with two hands, suddenly, a large crocodile more than three meters long came out from the bottom of the water, opened its bloody mouth, and bit Shiso's head......
said that it was too late and that it was fast, and at the critical moment, Shisu was in a hurry, and a subconscious roll turned on his side, allowing him to just avoid the bad luck of being devoured by a crocodile.
Although his soul will not die, and he can be reincarnated in the next life, he doesn't want to give birth to such an ugly and vicious crocodile, so he can only desperately avoid this guy's attack.
Although Shiso had rolled to the side, the crisis was not resolved, and the big crocodile that pounced on the shore turned its body and quickly crawled towards him, forcing Shiso to get up from the ground in a hurry, and desperately ran towards the nearest big tree, and then "rubbed" and quickly climbed up the tree, which was faster than a monkey climbing a tree.
At this point, you may ask, "Didn't Shiso learn a lot of kung fu from that snow ape 'Starry Night Howling'?" Why don't you use this kung fu to deal with this hateful crocodile? Isn't this blindness? ”
There are two reasons for this:
First, the incident happened suddenly, and Shiso didn't have time to think about how to deal with the crocodile, and besides, the crocodile has fewer weaknesses, so it is better to avoid its edge before finding its weakness;
Second, as a doctor who practices medicine and saves lives, it is not reasonable to suddenly ask him to become a bloodthirsty beast, right? Although sometimes it was in self-defense, he still didn't want to slaughter living beings at will.
However, then again, when Shiso used to be an ant, a praying mantis and a "bird king", in that sinister environment, he preferred to fight fiercely, but after he gave birth to a panda and practiced medicine, the fighting spirit in his body was almost gone, and only the heart of "fraternity and love for the common people in the world" remained, which was good or bad for him, and it was really not easy to define it casually.
Besides, when the crocodile saw that Shiso was so frightened that he climbed up the tree, he gave up the pursuit, turned around and went into the water again, waiting for the other animals to come and drink water before waiting for the opportunity to sneak attack.
When Shiso, who was hiding in the tree, saw that the crocodile had fallen back into the water, he slid down from the tree with confidence, and then walked towards the far side of the pool, avoiding the hateful crocodile, and thought: With such a big pool, there will not be a crocodile with ill intentions lurking at the bottom of the pool, right?
So, he left the edge of the pool more than a meter away, while walking carefully to inspect the things under the water, fortunately the water in this pool is relatively clear, the things in the bottom of the water are generally still relatively clear, in addition to the big bluestone and aquatic plants and fish, there are also a few crocodiles lurking in the deep aquatic grass, if you don't look carefully, it is not easy to find.
Shisu walked to a waterhole where there were no crocodiles at the bottom of the water, and after hurriedly drinking enough water, he immediately left, only to see another crocodile swimming towards him sneakily on the other side of the waterhole.
