Chapter 8 Downstream

Because he didn't know how long he was going out, for the sake of safety, Liu Xiu had to carefully check what he had prepared.

The bamboo raft is sturdy and sturdy, more than 30 fish are roasted and dried and ready to eat, the cool boiled water in the bamboo tube has no leakage, the stone axe is a little damaged and sudden, and it needs to be polished, and the arrows of the bow and arrow are no longer sharp because of the previous experiment, and they need to be carbonized and sharpened......

Little by little, Liu Xiu took the trouble to make preparations seriously.

When everything was ready, he thought about it, and went to cut off three small bamboo pipes, stuffed them with hay, pressed the chamber tightly, set them on fire, and plugged them tightly with smaller bamboo pipes to make them smolder, so that he could take the fire with him, and if necessary, he would not have to drill wood to make a fire.

When doing this, Liu Xiu was meticulous, and did not want to bring unnecessary trouble to himself in the follow-up exploration work because of his carelessness.

After checking that nothing was missed, he hung the stone axe on his waist with rattan, carried a bamboo bow on his back, carried the arrow on his back with a bamboo tube, wrapped the dried fish in a wide leaf and put it on the bamboo raft, and carried the fire with him, thought about it and brought a clay pot, and finally pushed the bamboo raft into the water, and stepped on the bamboo raft with a twenty-meter-long bamboo pole in his hand and rowed towards the exit of the lake.

The bamboo raft was driven as far as possible on the shore, Liu Xiu didn't know what kind of danger existed in the depths of the lake, and all along, subconsciously he felt that the depths of the center of the lake brought him a strong sense of crisis.

Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, even if it is just a subconscious feeling, he is not ready to take risks.

The bamboo raft was driving on the lake, and when he was about to approach the exit, Liu Xiu suddenly turned to look at the center of the lake behind him, his brows furrowed slightly, he seemed to feel that there was a pair of cold eyes watching him secretly!

However, when I turned around, I saw nothing.

"For a period of time, the lake has not shown any abnormal conditions, but the sense of crisis in my heart has always existed, what is there?"

Saying to himself, no matter what was there, Liu Xiu didn't think about it to figure it out, curiosity would kill the cat, since there was no danger in living on the shore, then don't die.

Turning around and looking in the direction of the exit of the lake, Liu Xiu officially took the first step to explore this world.

The outlet of the lake is a wide river, almost fifty meters wide, with a gentle surface and dense vegetation on both sides, and many of the branches of plants have fallen into the water.

The coast is very quiet, so quiet that it seems that the whole person is walking in a picture, even if there are insects and birds, it seems to be extremely far away.

Exploring the outside has always been an idea that Liu Xiu has always had, and the reason why he chose to go down the river instead of walking through the forest on foot has his own considerations, first of all, it is relatively safe to go down the river.

It is undoubtedly on the water surface in the center of the river, so that it can avoid the attack of many fierce beasts, the only thing that should be small is the foot, but the river water under the foot is relatively clear, and you can see two or three meters deep, so the safety factor is greatly increased.

Thirdly, human beings cannot survive without water, and it is easier to find the same kind by exploring along the river.

Holding a bamboo raft on the river, the feeling of loneliness can only be experienced by Liu Xiu himself.

He was a man of firm mind, and he was not deterred by this sense of loneliness, compared to the fact that he had just left school, in a city like a steel jungle, and walked through the streets in the dead of night just to find a shelter from the wind and rain, compared to the silence and desolation of the lonely world, it was nothing at the moment.

After leaving the lake for almost five hours, Liu Xiu went down the river, Liu Xiu himself didn't know how far he had walked, and when he was hungry, he let the bamboo raft go down the current, and he sat on the bamboo raft to eat.

The lonely and lonely journey is even more uncomfortable than the arrival of the crisis, but this still does not stop Liu Xiu's footwork from moving forward, exploring the outside, if he finds the same kind, it can prove that he is not alone in this world.

Of course, such a peaceful journey also shows that Liu Xiu's choice is right, it is relatively safe to go along the river, although he has not seen it with his own eyes, but Liu Xiu only hears the sound and knows that there are too many terrible beasts in the surrounding primeval forest, and he should really be glad that he has not met those terrible guys.

However, the world is so careless, I really want to come and go.

Liu Xiu, who was nibbling on dried fish and drinking cold boiled water, only felt a chill in his heart, and subconsciously looked at the shore on the left, so he didn't eat anything, and immediately put away his whole vigilance.

The stone axe was at his waist and could be used at any time, the bamboo bow was already in his hand, and an arrow was pointed at that side.

On the shore nearly thirty meters away from the bamboo raft Liu Xiu was riding, a black wolf was holding him up with green eyes, and in the face of the black wolf, Liu Xiu felt a chill in his heart.

He had never seen or even imagined such a terrible wolf, and the length of the tail was actually close to three meters, it was almost as if it had been mutated!

This was the first beast in the primeval forest to appear in Liu Xiu's sight, beyond his imagination.

The black wolf had sharp claws, its mouth opened to reveal two-inch-long canine teeth, it stared at Liu Xiu's mouth with drops of saliva, eager to swallow Liu Xiu in one gulp, but the black wolf did not make the slightest sound, like a terrible assassin who wanted to give Liu Xiu a fatal blow.

Looking at the size of the black wolf, Liu Xiu even had the illusion that it seemed to be about to jump up and pounce over a distance of dozens of meters at any time.

This is not the most terrifying, Liu Xiu thought, the wolf is a social animal, the appearance of a black wolf, does it mean that there are more wolves around?

If that's the case, your life will be in danger!

In this tense atmosphere, no second wolf appeared, and looking at the black wolf again, Liu Xiu's heart suddenly changed.

Although the black wolf was huge, it had a thin torso, and there was even a two-foot-long hideous wound when it stepped back, and it was obvious that it was a lone wolf abandoned by the wolves.

However, such a lone wolf is the most terrifying, there is no protection of the group, it is difficult for the injured lone wolf to hunt food, so that once it is targeted and thinks that it is a target that can be hunted, it is likely to die!

In fact, Liu Xiu's bamboo raft was moving along the river, but the black wolf had been following him on the bank, so big that his footsteps landed almost silently.

Targeted!

Liu Xiu's heart sank to a low point, he seriously doubted that if it wasn't for the black wolf's injury, it would have pounced long ago, in the middle of the river, nearly thirty meters from the bank, this distance has become Liu Xiu's lifeline.

Controlling the bamboo raft in the middle of the river, Liu Xiu focused most of his attention on the black wolf, but he did not forget to pay attention to the danger in other directions.

The black wolf couldn't come over, and he kept following, and Liu Xiu's heart was always hanging and couldn't relax in the slightest.

One hour two hours......

The black wolf followed and did not leave until dark.

In this regard, Liu Xiu almost scolded her mother.

The night was not conducive to progress, but fortunately, the river level was slow, and Liu Xiu had no choice but to insert a bamboo pole into the silt at the bottom of the water to fix the bamboo raft in the middle of the river.

It is worth noting that the river is very deep, and Liu Xiu's almost 20-meter-long bamboo pole is inserted into the bottom of the water, but only about four meters are exposed to the water......

Liu Xiu stopped, and the black wolf on the shore also stopped, and in the dark night, Liu Xiu could obviously see a pair of green eyes staring at him on the shore, so Liu Xiu didn't dare to sleep.

The two sides remained at a stalemate until dawn......

Liu Xiu, who was physically and mentally exhausted, practiced nameless self-cultivation skills on a bamboo raft in the morning to drive away his fatigue, and secretly said in his heart that I would not go ashore to see how long you could last.

When he was alert to the black wolf on the shore, Liu Xiu ate, washed his face with the river water on the side, and then pulled up the bamboo pole and continued to go downstream, and the black wolf also persevered to follow on the shore.

Quite an egg ache.

Liu Xiu felt that the black wolf was too special and had a character, and he couldn't help but scold his mother even if he was very well-educated, and the black wolf had been following him for two days!

Liu Xiu really wanted to ask the other party, are you not hungry?

If you ask, if the black wolf can speak, he will definitely answer that Liu Xiu followed you because he was hungry......

Fortunately, the river has always been very gentle, and there is no obvious place that is too narrow on both sides, even if it is narrow by ten meters, Liu Xiu can also lean slightly to the other side to maintain the distance from the black wolf, so Liu Xiu has not given the other party the slightest chance for two days.

The river seemed to have no end, and Liu Xiu, who was consumed with the black wolf, couldn't help but have a strange thought in his heart at the end, as if his journey was not too lonely......

Another day passed, and Liu Xiu went down the river and stayed on the bamboo raft for three whole days.

In three days, Liu Xiu had to face a helpless fact, the river seemed to have no end, but the dried fish he brought was about to be eaten, and the cold boiled water was drunk on the first day, so he could only drink river water to quench his thirst.

At noon on the third day, the black wolf finally couldn't consume Liu Xiu, let out an unwilling roar, and limped back to the jungle with his injured hind legs.

"Hehe, are you giving up?" Looking at the back of the black wolf, Liu Xiu said to himself with a smile on his face.

At this time, Liu Xiu's heart was very happy, and it was as if he had won the battle.

However, after the happiness, a trace of loss rose in his heart, what the hell?

Hey, I'm still out of love with that black wolf?

Shaking his head, Liu Xiu knew very well that he was too bored, he hadn't seen anyone for so long, no one had talked to him, and he was naturally a little reluctant to get along with the black wolf silently for three days.

The black wolf is gone, but Liu Xiu's journey has to continue, the ghost knows where the end of the river is, and the most important thing is that Liu Xiu has to find a way to get food.

There were not many others in the river, but there were many fish, so Liu Xiu spent half an hour using a stone axe to intercept a three-meter-long section of the pole, and spent a while sharpening it with a stone axe, hoping to use this bamboo pole to fork the fish in the water.

After failing again and again, Liu Xiu finally succeeded in half a day and got a foot-long fish, but he didn't dare to go ashore, he couldn't make a fire, he could only grit his teeth and eat it raw......
