Chapter 41: Crossing the River

There is no end in sight to this river, it is about more than five meters wide, Xia Mo and Chu Yan still don't know how deep the river is, Chu Yan picked up a stone by the river and threw it into the river, only to see the stone slam into the water, but Chu Yan still didn't see how deep the water level was.

In order to know more accurately how deep the water level was, Chu Yan returned to the woods.

"You wait here for a while, I'll go find a branch, see how deep the water is, and see if I can get over."

"Well, okay Brother Chu Yan, then I'll wait for you here."

Chu Yan went back to the woods and picked up a slightly longer branch, about above Chu Yan's knee, Chu Yan took the branch and walked to the river, then squatted down, slowly put the branch into the water, and after a while, the branch touched the bottom of the river.

Chu Yan took the branch up and looked at the water-soaked part, which was probably under Chu Yan's knee, Chu Yan put the branch on Xia Mo's leg and compared, the part of the branch soaked was probably a little above Xia Mo's support, not much.

Chu Yan was a little puzzled, obviously the water level was not particularly deep, why couldn't he see the bottom of the river? Now Chu Yan only thought that the color of the water was relatively dark, and he didn't think too much about it.

"You can walk over there, we can just pull up the trouser legs, but you have to pull them up." After speaking, Chu Yan also skimmed towards Xia Mo's legs.

When Xia Mo heard Chu Yan say this, her mouth pursed, and she seemed to be a little unhappy when she heard it.

"Brother Chu Yan, why do I think you are saying that I have short legs in disguise!"

"Ahem, where, you're thinking too much."

Chu Yan did think so, but he was also teasing Xia Mo.

"Alright, let's get over there."

The two quickly pulled up their trouser legs, took off their shoes and put them back in their backpacks. Just in case, Chu Yan walked in front, Chu Yan was still holding the previous branch in his hand, Chu Yan took a step, put the branch in front of him to probe it, and then walked forward after confirming that the water was still so deep.

After walking for about two meters, suddenly Chu Yan touched a soft thing with a branch, and in the next second, Chu Yan's face suddenly changed.

"You stand back and stay away from me." Chu Yan said sternly to Xia Mo.

"Ah, why Brother Chu Yan?" Xia Mo was also stunned when she heard Chu Yan's stern voice, but she still took a few steps back obediently.

"There's something in the water, and my feet are tangled." Chu Yan tried to twitch the branches and feet in his hands, and the thing was wrapped tighter.

"You go back to shore first, and then come back when I call you!"

"Okay." Xia Mo obediently returned to the shore, Xia Mo took the crossbow out of his backpack and waited for an opportunity to help Chu Yan.

Chu Yan also took the crossbow out of his backpack, there was no other way, Chu Yan couldn't move at all now, and now Chu Yan could only choose to provoke the thing in the water first, so that Chu Yan would have a chance to get out of that thing.

Chu Yan aimed his crossbow at the position of the branch and shot out, and sure enough, a lot of red blood stains were instantly filled with the water, and at the same time, the things in the water were also completely angered by Chu Yan, Chu Yan took this opportunity to directly pull his leg out of that thing, and then seized the opportunity to shoot a few more arrows at the thing in the water, and soon the thing in the water was silent. The river water becomes very clear after the things in the water die, too.
