Chapter Fifty-Six: The Battle for the River

There are very few hard, fire-resistant firewood.

There may be one in the distance, but Cheng Zhong has difficulty moving and is inconvenient to find.

On the shore was a long slope, under which was a pile of dead grass that had been blown together by the wind over the years, and the bell soon drew a large pile.

He took out his grandfather's old fire sickle and flint, and "crackled" the fire, and set the dead grass on fire.

Before leaving home, Cheng Zhong fell in love with his grandfather, the most primitive lighter.

He felt that matches were easy to get wet and fail, and that when it mattered, old fire sickles and flints seemed to be more reliable.

Therefore, he specially begged it from his grandfather and put it in his close-fitting pocket......

The withered grass caught fire at the sight of the fire, and in an instant, the flames "beeped and peeled" and jumped.

The flames rose into the air, and the fire grew bigger and bigger.

The withered grass is also the least burned, and it only takes a little effort to burn a large pile of withered grass.

When the fire burned, it left behind a pile of dark red embers.

This ember is exactly what the bell needs.

He threw the first fish into the ashes and buried them with a twig.

Then, holding another fish in his hand, he turned his head to ask for the White Dragon Dog's opinion.

The White Dragon Dog shook his head.

It's not used to eating cooked food yet.

Cheng Zhong handed the live fish to its mouth.

I saw that it took the fish in its mouth, placed it on a clean stone, and used its mouth and claws together, and soon turned the fish into a neat fish skeleton.

The white dragon dog's belly is already round.

It licked its mouth in circles with its long tongue in satisfaction.

After about ten minutes, the smell of roasted fish wafted out of the embers.

Cheng Zhong used the branch to pull the blackened fish out of the ashes.

The fish is tender and delicious, and it is the most delicious food that Cheng Zhongchang has ever eaten.

Humans and animals alike have the leisure to pay attention to their surroundings only after they have eaten and drunk enough.

At this time, Cheng Zhong and the white dragon dog stretched their limbs comfortably, lay on the ground, and began to slowly feel the beauty of the wolf domain.

Night slowly fell, there was no moon in the sky, but the stars were bright.

The brilliant starlight splashed down quietly, making the night no longer completely dark, and it seemed a little hazy and transparent.

The sound of insects on the grassland rises and falls, like the willow flute played by naughty children in spring, with various timbres and tones, full of primitive agility.

"Bang la, bla la, bla la......"

The river rolls over the rocky bed and plays an eternal music.

"Calling ......, Calling ......"

The tall trees in the forest in the distance swayed gently in the breeze, sending a faint sound of forest waves......

After lying on their backs for a while, Cheng Zhong and the white dragon dog went into the river again.

They splashed water on each other, played and played happily for a long time, until they were exhausted.

Then, lying side by side on a stone near the shore, with their heads on the outside, they pulled most of their bodies and soaked them in the water.

The white dragon dog lay in Cheng Zhong's arms, as if in the arms of the red in the snow, and soon fell asleep peacefully.

Cheng Zhong's brain was a little excited, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.

I wanted to get up and move my body, but I was afraid of waking up the white dragon dog, so I had to stare at the stars in the sky.

The pictures I have seen in the two days since entering the wolf domain flashed in my mind.

Somehow, Cheng Zhong was bored and suddenly became a poet and wrote poetry in his head.

He meditated on a five-character quatrain:

Suddenly into the secret realm,

See the sky outside the sky.

The gods bless the earth,

All beings are multiplying.

The tree is more than 100 feet high,

Branches and leaves into the clouds.

The grass is waist deep,

The wind blows through the green waves.

There is no moon in the night sky,

Where to send thoughts.

The stars shine with silver,

There is no darkness in all the light.

After pondering it repeatedly, I felt that these poems could still be reconciled, so I kept it in my heart.

Originally, he thought, he was just recording the scenery he saw, but if his friends in the Overworld saw this poem, they would think that he was paranoid.

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he secretly laughed.

Then he remembered what had happened to him in recent months, and felt like a brilliant dream.

Recalling his ambition since childhood, and remembering his major decision to enter the wolf domain, a sense of pride and ambition suddenly surged into his heart.

With the preceding five-word quatrain, he followed the rhyme of the previous poem and continued to compose poetry in his heart:

Seven mothers were born,

Two women and five men are men.

Pension to the end,

Not because of one person hanging.

Since childhood, I have made great ambitions,

Never sleep on the ground.

Sincerity is rare in this life,

I would like to probe the truth.

But by chance,

Fly into the clouds.

It is better to die in advance,

There is no retreat.

After chewing it repeatedly, I felt that this poem was obviously a bit awkward, and it didn't seem to be as beautiful as the previous one, but it could also partially represent my own heart, so I also memorized it.

Cheng Zhong thought to himself that the next time he saw Master Sanji, he would definitely ask him to write down both poems, which could be regarded as a commemoration of his first visit to the Wolf Domain.

Cheng Zhong likes to use his brain since he was a child, and he likes to meet the challenges of difficult problems, and the feeling of winning the challenge makes him very useful.

This is also the reason why he can become a chess master at such a young age.

Writing poetry is also to use his brain and meet challenges, so he also likes to make a few crooked poems from time to time.

After using his brain, Cheng Zhong had a sense of harvest, and then fell asleep comfortably......

The warm sunlight and the gentle chirping of birds woke him and the white dragon dog.

A new day begins.

Cheng Zhong stood up and took more than a dozen deep breaths in a row, feeling that his body had become much lighter again.

He walked slowly upstream along the riverbank.

The white dragon dog sprinkled huanzi beside him, ran forward about thirty meters first, and then quickly turned back.

It's much more adaptable than a clock, and it's getting smoother and smoother.

When they got tired of walking, they both went into the water again, swimming upstream against the current, and swimming upstream together.

Cheng Zhong only wore pants on his lower body, but the shirt on his upper body was not taken off, just to not expose the "sword in his sleeve" given to him by Xue Lihong.

His swimming level is not very high, and he practiced it while playing in the water in the waterlogged dam in his hometown.

Most of the time, there is no water in the waterlogged dam, so there are fewer opportunities to practice.

Fortunately, when the river is shallow and can't swim, Cheng Zhong landed on his feet and walked forward in the water.

The White Dragon Dog's "dog planing" technique is innate and extremely fast.

Animals are born with certain physical abilities that cannot be compared to humans.

Swimming up the river is the most strenuous but much easier than dragging an overweight body on the shore.

It wasn't until they were exhausted that they stopped.

Then it goes down the river again, back to its original position.

A large pile of dead tree stumps suddenly appeared on the surface of the river, and more than a dozen crocodiles were waiting at the place where they had set off.

This river is called the Crocodile River, and the crocodile was originally the overlord of the river.

What they did not expect was that just yesterday their supremacy was severely challenged.

After receiving the information, the crocodile king led the whole clan here to see who was sacred.

With yesterday's experience and knowing the magic weapon on their bodies, Cheng Zhong and the White Dragon Dog will certainly not be afraid and retreat.

They stopped ten meters away from the crocodiles, their four eyes calmly watching each other.

A huge, two-foot old crocodile floated out of the group.

It is the leader of this group of crocodiles, the crocodile king.

I saw that its head was high, its sharp teeth were white, and the remaining meat between its teeth was vividly vivid, which was disgusting.

It emitted a terrifying cry of "Ang Ang" from its mouth, as if it was challenging Cheng Zhong and them.

The white dragon dog was about to step forward, but Cheng Zhong grabbed it and said:

"You're too small, so let me fight it first, and then I can't beat it. ”

The bell is upstream, and the crocodile is downstream.

Step by step, he approached the crocodile king.

The Crocodile King looked at the Terran boy with a bewildered gaze.
