Chapter 12: In Search of the River of Life

With thick leaves under him, a few large leaves on his body, and even a pillow made of large leaves, this "bed" can be described as quite good.

Although it is not as elastic as the "vine mat" bed on his hometown island, the horizontal branches of this big tree are wide enough, and the upper edge is also quite flat, Dong Chen is much wider than the vine bed when he lies down, if he hadn't prepared a long hemp rope that was connected together, a single short hemp rope would not be able to tie it at all.

Dong Chen, who was lying down, did not sleep immediately, but was sorting out today's harvest and planning the actions in the future.

Today can be said to be quite exciting, not only encountered a sea giant beast suspected of being the overlord level in this area, but also a fairly close contact.

Canglong, as the overlord of the ocean in a certain era of the earth, although I don't know if it is the overlord of the entire Star Ocean on the other side, but in this sea area, there should be no suspense.

At that time, the dragon-like sea beast obviously saw itself, but it didn't know that it was the same as the earth's dragon, the earth's dragon's vision was very weak, but its sense of smell and hearing was very developed, if the dragon-like creatures here were the same, then it might be staring at itself, in fact, it was mainly "observing" itself with its sense of smell and hearing.

However, being stared at by that big eye, and the owner of the eye was still biting a piece of food that was constantly bleeding in his mouth, it was still a little creepy to think about it now.

The water is the home of these creatures, but it is an absolute shortcoming for humans, and the feeling of powerlessness is quite real.

In the end, it may be that he feels that he is too small, or he may feel that his shape is not on the recipe in his memory, or maybe he already has a five-meter-long food in his mouth, so the Canglong Sea Beast turned and left.

Before leaving, it may not know how much pressure it has exerted on the creature in front of it.

Later, as soon as Dong Chen broke away from the dragon's mouth, he felt the "enthusiasm" of the storm.

That guy didn't die in the mouth of the Canglong Sea Beast, but he had a death with the storm, but fortunately survived in the end, and reached his destination safely.

This exciting day directly gave Dong Chen a deeper understanding of this planet, that is, don't look at many places that are similar to the earth, but it is much more dangerous than the earth environment where Dong Chen lives.

This made Dong Chen, who was about to explore the forest, a little more careful.

And starting tomorrow, Dong Chen will go north along the coastline to find the river he saw before, and then follow the river deep into the jungle to find the civilization gathering area.

If there is a civilization gathering area in this forest, it must be not far from the river, or even next to the river.

Even if there is no civilization gathering area in this forest, it is better to follow the river and find it than to wander around the forest by yourself.

In general, if you are looking for a populated place in an unfamiliar area, you should look along the coastline or river.

Through those two boots, as well as the creatures found in the past few days, Dong Chen determined that the civilization on this planet should belong to humanoid carbon-based creatures, which is simply similar to humans.

In this way, it is easy to do, and you can roughly guess some according to the habits of human life.

Human survival is inseparable from water and food, and rivers can bring abundant water resources, and once civilization reaches a certain stage, then agricultural cultivation will become a major source of food, so close to the river to survive and develop, is a very good choice.

In river basins, especially in the middle and lower reaches, large alluvial plains are created, where the terrain is flat and vast, and the rivers bring sediment from the upper reaches to bring a large amount of fertile soil, which is more conducive to the development of agriculture.

In addition, near the general river, the climate is relatively mild, the environment is good, and it can also increase the diversity of food, which is very conducive to the reproduction of human beings.

In the same way, the needs for the development of civilization on this planet should be similar.

After sorting out these things, Dong Chen asked Tianshu to turn on the alert device and go to sleep.

………………

Dong Chen slept well all night, and woke up in the morning with the sound of birds, and found that he had not fallen, nor was he disturbed by any animals, and the vigilance of Tianshu was not triggered.

Originally, it was a seaside, and there were no fresh water resources here, and there were generally no large creatures running here, so it was relatively safe.

Reaching out to untie the knot that was tied to his hand, and then lifting the few large leaves that covered him as a quilt, Dong Chen stood up.

Put the rope away again, put it in his backpack again, stretched his waist, and looked at the red sun rising in the east, Dong Chen exhaled and said, "It's another beautiful day!" ”

"But no matter how good a day is, you have to eat first," touching his stomach, Dong Chen sighed, "People are iron and rice are steel, this sentence is not wrong at all." ”

Irregular diet can cause a lot of problems, although the problem will not appear in a short period of time, but Dong Chen doesn't know how long he will survive alone in this place, so it is better to be cautious, and try to keep his body in good condition.

In the past few days, he has discovered so many places similar to the earth, and Dong Chen does not dare to guarantee how big the gap between this world and the earth is.

If it is similar to the gap between Earth and Mars or the imaginary alien environment, then it is better, but if it is only similar to the gap between Europe and the Americas, then Dong Chen will have to be more careful.

With more and more proficient diving methods, Dong Chen found some seafood in the shallow sea with plenty of light, and after checking that there was no problem in the book of heaven, Dong Chen came to another rich seafood feast.

However, after a few days of "hard" survival by eating seafood, Dong Chen still misses noodles, rice and stir-fried vegetables, and it is not good to eat too much seafood barbecue every day.

But now that I'm in a state of survival, I can't manage so much, and some of them are good to eat.

But now that he has come to a large jungle place, Dong Chen feels that his recipes will expand a lot in the future, at least in terms of food diversity, there is no need to worry.

After breakfast, Dong Chen drank some more water, and saw that it was half past seven, he took a little rest and set off north along the coastline to find the estuary of the river he had seen on the sea before.

Dong Chen walked very carefully along the way, the smart bracelet has been turned on the life signal detection device, and Dong Chen asked Tianshu to open the detection range to the maximum, compared to those small trees on the island, the trees here are extremely tall and dense, and the detection distance is really limited, and the detection signal will be attenuated after 20 meters.

Moreover, the power consumption of the smart bracelet has also increased sharply, and the energy collected by the ultra-high-efficiency solar collection device can no longer be used for real-time energy consumption, and it has begun to consume daily stored energy.

Fortunately, the battery storage technology of the bracelet is also passable, even if there is no sun at all, such a high power consumption rate can last for half a month, if it is a state of charging while consuming, it can last for almost a month.

When you get to a relatively safe place, turn off this high-power device, and you can recover 100% of the power after a few days of sun exposure.

Along the coastline, it is relatively safe, and there are no large, ferocious creatures, after all, the seaside is also considered the edge of the forest, and there is so much water in the air, but it is not drinkable at all, and there is no use for hair.

After the beach was finished, as the terrain gradually became higher, the trees gradually grew to the seaside, Dong Chen also entered the forest, and after walking a long cliff side, the terrain slowed down again, and he finally saw a river estuary.

However, looking at the river that was only less than four meters wide, Dong Chen felt that this should be a forked tributary of the big river he had seen before.

"Three o'clock in the afternoon, yes, it's not too late."

Looking at the time, and then looking at the surrounding environment, Dong Chen planned to take advantage of the fact that it was not dark to go inside a little more, and then look at the situation, there was indeed nothing on the beach.

"Follow this little river, and you'll always find its main channel."
