Chapter 8: Try Again

John leaned against the tree in despair, clutching his hair with both hands: "It's a curse! This place is cursed! This damn rainforest! It must be like this! Therefore, all the instruments, the compass, all worked! We're done, haha, we're done!" he laughed, and once again became the man who was desperately waiting to die in a cannibal cage. Of course, after experiencing this grotesque and terrifying change, this is also the reaction that normal people should have.

The gunsmith remained calm: "Rather than attributing it to paranormal phenomena, it is better to make reasonable speculations, which in my opinion are most likely artificial." ”

John's eyes widened, and he stepped forward and grabbed the gunsmith by the collar, and asked excitedly, "Do you know what's going on here?"

The gunsmith said: "First of all, this may be someone with superpowers, you have also seen my ability, there are all kinds of abilities in the world, how many abilities there are at all can not be counted, it is not very difficult to do what happened just now, maybe we are just confused by some kind of trick, or the brain is disturbed." ”

John let go of his hand, he calmed down a little, the gunsmith's words made sense, wasn't it more likely that the capable ones were more likely than those terrifying curses imagined?

The gunsmith continued: "In addition, as for the matter of space folding, it can be achieved by machinery, and in the upper echelons of the empire, it is not without this kind of technology......"

When he said this, he suddenly remembered Tianyi's bookstore, when he was making a transfer device for that bookstore, the gunsmith had been exposed to advanced science related to space, and until it was completed, he didn't understand where the technical information given to him by Tianyi came from, and the ability of this science far exceeded the level that human beings should have at this stage.

Later, the gunsmith became an arms advisor to the Empire, and he thought that the Empire's secret technology was the origin of all the evil things in Tianyi's weird bookstore, but after digging deeper, he found that the two were far from each other and belonged to different systems at all.

John was stunned when he saw the gunsmith, and he didn't know whether to interject, and after a while, he snapped his fingers twice, waved his hand in front of the gunsmith's eyes, and said, "Hey, Charles!

The gunsmith came back to his senses: "Oh, nothing, think of something. He continued the topic: "In short, you don't need to panic too much, it's just that you haven't been able to cross the river, instead of being at a loss and giving up on yourself, you should think about the next plan." ”

John had basically recovered from the initial shock and panic at this time, and he calmed down and wiped his face with rain: "I'm afraid it won't work to keep going." The rain was so heavy that it took too much energy to cross the river just now, and the worst thing was that the visibility was getting lower and lower, and I was afraid that it would be dark in a few hours. ”

"Well, let's find a place to hide from the rain first. The gunsmith answered, and immediately set off.

Naturally, it was impossible for John to stand in the rain in muddy clothes, so he quickly followed.

The terrain of the rainforest was high and low, undulating, and it took them more than ten minutes to find a suitable area, with their backs to the cliffs, and the sloping and protruding mountain wall above their heads was just enough to keep the rain a few meters away, although it was uncomfortable to squat in this narrow shelter from the rain, but it was better than standing outside.

The failed crossing of the river just now was really hard work, 200 meters of running and 200 meters of freestyle, and when they came ashore, they found that they were still in the same place, and there was a torrential rain overhead, and the most terrible thing was that outside the range of sight, there was an unknown force, as if they were watching them all the time, trying to prevent them from leaving this rainforest.

Even though the sky is covered with dark clouds, it is not dark all around, which means that the sun has not yet set. This place is not a place to stay for a long time, and when the rain is lighter, the two of them have to find another hidden and safe place before they dare to make a fire and rest.

They didn't have to wait long, and about an hour later, the sun was shining through the clouds and dense forests, and both of them couldn't help but rejoice in the brevity of the heavy rain.

After this period of rest, coupled with the rain and sunny weather, John's mood has risen a lot, and after suffering a series of tragedies, his nervous tenacity can be described as a day by day, and his recovery speed is much faster, of course, he is still close to the state of gunsmith who is not shocked.

After a while, the two men returned to the river, where the water was high but seemed calm and gentle, and the gunsmith offered to try to cross the river again, but this time it was necessary to swim the whole time.

John's suggestion was to build a raft, which would greatly reduce the risk. You should know that there may be schools of piranhas passing by in the river, and besides, rafting not only saves physical strength, but also allows you to clearly see the scenery on both sides of the river when crossing the river, and if someone is really hiding in the shadows, they can grasp more details.

The gunsmith agreed to the idea, and he was already very tired by this time, and he thought to himself: if he was really bound by the folding space, the physical strength required to build a raft would be more cost-effective than the back-and-forth freestyle N.

Then John proposes to let the gunsmith use his superpowers to transform two machetes, which can cut trees and defend himself, and when he crosses the jungle in the future, he can help clear the way with a machete in hand.

The gunsmith readily agreed, but he couldn't find a similar material for a long time, so he had no choice but to grab a lump of mud and start accumulating energy, and after twenty minutes, he finally finished one.

"You go cut down the tree first, and I'll help you when I'm done with my own." The gunsmith handed the knife to John.

John replied, "You didn't get a scabbard by the way?"

The gunsmith said, "Get out of here, go kill a crocodile and make it yourself." ”

John smiled and went to cut down the tree alone.

The ability of "alchemy" is very troublesome, but fortunately, the machete is not a complex precision machine, otherwise in the current state of the gunsmith, he may not be able to make something of this volume.

Another twenty minutes passed, and when the gunsmith's second machete came out of the oven and was ready to help John, the guy had already made all the wood he needed, and his hands and feet were really neat.

"The buoyancy of the wood should be enough for two people, and the oars are ready, so let's get some sturdy vines, repair them with a knife, and tie the raft tightly. By the time John said this, he had already done most of the work.

The trees he chose were of moderate thickness, the length of which had been calculated when he split them, and the extra branches had been cut off, so there was not much work left for the gunsmith. Thinking about it, John also saw that the gunsmith's superpowers were very laborious, so he quietly took over all the work he could.

Seeing that the sun was gradually setting in the west, and the raft was completed at this time, the two of them did not let down their guard during this time, but the cannibals and black creatures did not appear, and the biggest danger was just a few snakes passing by to make soy sauce.

The raft was lowered into the water, it did not sink, and the two of them sat on it with oars, but it still did not sink, and there was no problem.

John paddled the waterway: "It's getting dark, and if we really can't get through, we can consider taking the waterway and going down the river to get away from here." ”

The gunsmith waved his oar on the other side, silent, and he glanced back at the fading riverbank, but the foreboding in his heart did not diminish in the slightest.
