Chen Xiao and the others learned from the mouth of the middle-aged man that the Dingfeng River in front of them almost spans the entire territory of Y County, and if you want to reach Y County as soon as possible, crossing the river is the only way, and if you don't cross this river, you must make a detour of 100 miles to reach the county seat of Y County.

Through greetings with the middle-aged man, Chen Xiao and his entourage also learned about the middle-aged man and the tall and thin young man beside him, it turned out that the two were a father and son, who had just returned from foraging on the Qifeng Ridge, but the harvest was very small, only a few snakes and insects and some edible plants were found.

The hunting tools they carried showed why they had such a difficult time hunting, except that each of them carried an axe and a hatchet, each carrying a worn bamboo basket and a rustic satchel, and the young man had a common slingshot pinned to his waist.

If you don't have professional hunting skills, such equipment for hunting is definitely not enough, and you have to have a weapon for long-range attack! Like a bow or a shotgun or something like that.

Although the slingshot can also be used for long-range attacks, it is not worth mentioning if it is not supported by strong power.

The middle-aged man also told everyone that the narrowest part of this Dingfeng River is also forty or fifty meters wide, and the middle of the river is even more than ten or twenty meters deep, plus the strange fish in the river are eyeing each other, it must be quite dangerous to swim over, and you must have tools to cross the river, but even if you have a boat, you may not be able to get away with the attack of the strange fish.

The reason why the middle-aged man is so afraid of the strange fish in the river is because two days ago he was invited by several fellow villagers to go fishing in the river together, and witnessed the process of the strange fish eating people.

Since then, the surrounding survivors have never dared to set foot in the river, and they usually keep the river secret, even when they talk about it occasionally.

According to the description of the middle-aged man, the body of the strange fish in this river is seven or eight meters long, the body of a shark is as thick as a shark, the mouth is full of fangs, and it looks not fierce.

After listening to the middle-aged man's words, Chen Xiao and his entourage couldn't help but look a little shocked, it seems that this strange fish in the river must have absorbed a large amount of energy crystals to grow to such a large size, I didn't expect to be able to swallow people alive, it seems that this Dingfeng River is not as good as imagined!

I don't know how many of these strange fish are in this river, if there are many of them, it will be quite dangerous!

After glancing at the people beside him, Chen Xiao asked with a serious face: "What do you think, what do you think, is this river crossing or not?" If you're scared, let's just walk a little more! ”

"I'm afraid of, let's cross the river boldly in a while, if there is really a loach in the way, just slaughter it and eat meat!" Guo Zirong responded with a murderous face.

"That's it, Brother Xiao, we can still be afraid of a few fish and shrimp, and we haven't encountered mutated creatures along the way, if there are really no eyes, we will be it for a while!" Li Han also said with a hard face, after the tempering of the past few days, this kid's temperament has gradually become resolute.

"Hehe, if the brothers are not afraid, I am not a man without eggs, fat man, make up a number left and right! When it's time to slaughter this strange fish, just let me eat more meat to make up for it! When the little fat man saw that others were advocating crossing the river, he was not willing to be left behind, so he quickly made a statement.

"I'll follow the big guys, you can do whatever you say, anyway, no matter what you do, I have to participate!" Ma Jing shrugged her shoulders, looking indifferent.

"Brother Xiao, where do you say you're going? I listen to you! Don't leave our sisters behind! Ma Ying showed a pitiful look, and said to Chen Xiao in a resolute tone.

"Brother Xiao, if we want to cross the river, it's better to build a few rafts! If you swim in it, it's too dangerous! After thinking about it for a while, Gao Feng frowned slightly and suggested to Chen Xiao, it seems that he is also in favor of crossing the river.

The three teenagers in Qifengkou Village didn't say anything after glancing at each other, but just looked at Chen Xiao in a daze, with a look of looking at Chen Xiao's horse.

After listening to everyone's words, Chen Xiao swept his eyes around everyone, then nodded appreciatively: "Okay! Since everyone agrees to cross the river, then don't take the more than 100 miles of unjust road, and if you encounter this strange fish in a while, we will all slaughter it and eat meat! Do you have the confidence to deal with it? ”

Seeing that everyone either nodded heavily or said "yes" loudly, Chen Xiao nodded with satisfaction, and then changed the conversation and said: "Very good!" Since we are going to cross the river, we have to prepare the tools to cross the river, and the big brother just said that there are no ready-made boats around here, so we can only make them ourselves! ”

In the middle of Chen Xiao's speech, he pointed to the middle-aged man in front of him with his right hand, and put his eyes on the axe and firewood knife on the man's body, and suddenly his eyes lit up thoughtfully.

The middle-aged man not far away couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he heard Chen Xiao and the others discussing preparing to cross the river, and was about to speak out again to dissuade everyone, but Chen Xiao's voice came to him first.

"This eldest brother, younger brother wants to discuss something with you, I hope you can agree! How about we give you two hares and rent an axe and a hatchet in your hands? I'll give it back to you when it's gone! Do you think it's okay? ”

Seeing Chen Xiao's sincere appearance, the middle-aged man shook his head helplessly, and then sighed and said, "Alas~, you young man, what a hare!" It's not that my eldest brother doesn't want to lend you tools, it's just that this river is really dangerous! Why do you have to go your own way? ”

"This big brother, we have made up our minds, you don't have to persuade anymore, we have to cross this river today, and we have the confidence to solve the monsters in the river, if you have the heart to help us, lend us the tools to use, if you don't want to, we can figure it out ourselves!" Although Chen Xiao knew that the middle-aged man was well-intentioned to persuade him, since everyone had made up their minds, they would definitely not back down again, so their tone became a little impatient for a while.

"Well, I will lend you this tool, lest you say behind your backs that I am not kind, and I don't want your hares, but don't regret what happens to you, I've said all the good things, so do it yourself! When you're done with the tools, leave them here! We'll pick it up in a moment! After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he glanced at the young man beside him, and at the same time put the tool in his hand on the ground.

"Xiaofei, let's go! These young people really don't know what to do, and they will regret it for a while! The middle-aged man saw that his son had also put his tools on the ground, and after muttering angrily, he turned around and walked briskly towards the distance of the mountain.

The young man behind him glanced at Chen Xiao and the others with a complicated expression, his eyes were full of curiosity and admiration, and then he quickly chased after the middle-aged man.

Chen Xiao saw that the father and son left the tools and left them directly, and couldn't help but sigh with embarrassment, and then quickly glanced at Li Han beside him, and pointed to the huge gray-haired hares on his body.

After Li Han comprehended Chen Xiao's meaning, he hurriedly chased after the father and son in front of him......

"The big guy put down his luggage and got ready to work, and now that the tools are available, we have to hurry up and make a raft to prepare for crossing the river......" Chen Xiao saw that he had the tools, and hurriedly ordered everyone to get up in an orderly manner, as if a large construction site had started.

"Now we are divided into two groups, one is responsible for cutting down trees, and the other is responsible for collecting vines and grass ropes...... Note! Look for trees of about the same size, and the straw ropes should be strong in front and back......"

So, in the following time, the group divided into two groups, and each of them was busy in the mountains, and a vigorous raft-building movement began......

Since most of the trees have become extremely large after being irrigated by energy crystals, the journey of finding trees is not very smooth, and sometimes they can only cut down the branches of thick trees to make up the numbers.

Chen Xiao and the others divided the thirty or forty arm-thick trees or branches that they had finally cut down into two groups with a similar number and tied them with vines and grass ropes to make them strong.

After about two hours, the two simple rafts were finally successfully formed, the two rafts were four or five meters long and about two meters wide, and the gaps between the trees were kept to a minimum in order to ensure maximum buoyancy.

In addition, the people also used trees to process some relatively flat oars, which can control the direction and speed of the raft when crossing the river for a while, of course, the workmanship must be quite rough, but for the river surface that is only a few tens of meters wide, it is enough to play its role.

Everyone stood in the open space under the wind ridge, admiring the fruits of their labor, and their hearts were a little excited, and their hearts were also relieved, now everyone finally had the tools to cross the river.

"Okay, let's take these two rafts to the river first, and then observe the river, if there is no danger, we will cross the river directly!" Chen Xiao interrupted everyone's excitement without smiling, and commanded with a serious face.

After everyone nodded their heads in agreement, they divided into two groups to lift the raft and hobbled towards the river, and several of the teenagers with poor physical fitness looked even more struggling......

After Kankan arrived at the river, the newly joined Gao Feng and the other three teenagers sat on the ground, and their mouths were even more panting, while Chen Xiao and the other six people were relatively much better, and even the little fat man who had to walk hard before was not tired this time, but his face was flushed, and his mouth was panting from time to time.

You must know that this section of the journey is thousands of meters away, and Chen Xiao and several of them can not change their complexion under the load, which shows how much the energy spar changes a person's body, and the two female streamers of the Ma Jing sisters only gasped slightly after absorbing a lot of spars, and they did not even weaken under their feet.

At this time, the Dingfeng River has become clearer in the eyes of everyone, and the jade belt seen when they are about to go down the mountain has become a pool of blue water, and the wide river surface is rippling in the eyes of everyone at this time, slowly occupying everyone's attention.

The breeze on the river surface with the smell of aquatic plants slowly drifted to everyone's faces, making everyone's body feel cool at the same time, but also making the skin feel a little tender, like a girl's fragrant long hair passing by, people can't help but indulge for a while.

Just when everyone was looking at the river in a daze, waves suddenly rolled on the river, and a ** ripple surged towards the bank where everyone was, as if something was about to come out.

"Everyone, go back and be careful, it may be that the strange fish has discovered us!" Just when everyone was surprised by the ripples on the surface of the water, Chen Xiao, who had keen senses, was the first to notice the strangeness of the river, and reminded with a look of horror.

After hearing Chen Xiao's reminder, the others instinctively stepped back, their eyes vigilant on the surface of the river, and they did not forget to take their respective weapons from the raft.

A group of ten people just retreated more than ten meters, a huge black shadow "whirred" out of the river, and with a large splash slammed down where everyone was standing before, with the sound of "pop~" splash landing, the splash sprinkled everywhere suddenly splashed not far away.

The sudden appearance of the scene shocked Chen Xiao and the others, and after standing for a long time, they reached out and wiped the river water on their faces, and looked at the behemoth in front of them in disbelief.

I saw that on the bank of the river more than ten meters ahead, there was a huge monster seven or eight meters long lying prone at this time, the front end of the monster's body had two thick fins and feet supporting its huge body, and the waist as thick as an adult shark was constantly shaking off the river water on its body, and the hideous head was even more ferocious with its big mouth, revealing two rows of sharp fangs and sharp teeth inside, and the six thick whiskers on both sides of the upper and lower jaws were shaking around with its head like a leather whip......

After Chen Xiao and his entourage saw the appearance of this monster clearly, they couldn't help but gasp, and at the same time they all showed surprised eyes, looking at this guy's snow-white belly, black-gray skin, and thick beard, and no scales on his body, it seemed to be a large catfish?

The middle-aged man's description of this strange fish was not exaggerated in the slightest, but how could it grow so big? I'm afraid that the great white shark in my impression will have to flee in front of it! How many hedrons does it have to absorb to be so strong!

After Chen Xiao and the others glanced at each other, they all showed solemn expressions, and a trace of cold sweat faintly appeared in the palms of the hands holding the weapons, it seems that today will be a fierce battle! I wish there was only one such monster! Otherwise, how would this river be crossed......
