Chapter 4 There is a dragon
The walking route to the plain has been carefully surveyed by Song Youyu with a telescope in the past few days. The routes to be taken are to avoid places frequented by predatory beasts, as well as places that appear dangerous. In this way, you can't go in a straight line, you have to make several turns.
The first few kilometers were explored and passed smoothly. After another two or three kilometers of progress, the first dangerous place was reached.
This place is a large and small rocky forest no more than two meters high. There are only a few half-dead trees in the Stone Forest. The reason for the danger is that there is a large snake entrenched in the rocky forest.
This nearly twenty-meter-long snake almost ate Song Youyu. Later, when looking around with a telescope, the snake's whereabouts were discovered.
Watch the Animal World show, where each animal has its own territory. With the chaotic stone forest as the center, one or twenty kilometers of Fang Yuan is the territory of this big snake. There is no more powerful being in this range than this snake.
Around noon is the time for this big snake to rest. Because Song Youyu found that every noon, the big snake would bask in the sun on a few dead trees in the rocky forest. You can stay motionless for a long time.
Today is no exception, after seeing the big snake climbing the tree in the distance, Song Youyu made a detour to the downwind of the chaotic stone forest, and carefully passed the territory of the big snake with the cover of stones and trees.
Passed through the territory of the Great Serpent, in front of which were several low hills. Because the magnification of the telescope was very vague to see this place through the territory of the big snake, Song Youyu only knew that this was the territory of a group of wild boar-like animals. Because Song Youyu saw in the telescope that this group of animals was a staple food on plants. It is relatively safe to pass through herbivore territory.
Before entering the territory of this group of herbivores, Song Youyu observed this group of animals up close. The animal looks like a wild boar on Earth, and the mature individuals in the herd are as big as the bison on Earth. Since it was a close observation, Song Youyu could be sure that this was a herd of wild boars. Whether it is in terms of call or shape habits, it can reach more than 90% similarity with wild boars on the earth.
Knowing that it was a herd of wild boars, Song Youyu had a way to pass through his territory.
In about ten minutes, Song Youyu collected a pile of dead branches and hay around. It took another five minutes to make a couple of large torches. With a few large torches, Song Youyu quickly moved to the upper wind of the wild boar herd, and then quickly lit the torches.
At this time, several adult wild boars had already smelled the smell of Song Youyu and broke away from the pigs. But the torches lit by Song Youyu quickly stopped the wild boars.
When Song Youyu threw the torch in his hand in the direction of the wild boar herd, the torch hit the ground and ignited some of the dead grass on the ground, and black smoke came out. Several adult wild boars ran back into the herd as fast as they could, and then led their own people away with a loud howl.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Song Youyu also hurriedly left the territory of the wild boar herd and quickly climbed over these small hills.
After the last hill, you will see an endless plain.
Standing on the top of a small hill, Song Youyu took out a telescope and looked towards the plain. The telescope in his hand is a large-aperture ten-magnification marine telescope equipped by several rich people. This kind of military telescope can theoretically see clearly within 5,000 meters of a long distance and an approximate view within 20,000 meters.
The endless plains are like the African savannah on earth, except for the wild grasses are patches of forests. However, better than the African savannah, there are more ponds.
The plain in front of him was only a small group of herbivores, which was a good thing for Song Youyu. There are fewer herbivores, which means fewer carnivores. It is easy to deal with a single carnivore.
Song Youyu took the telescope and looked at it everywhere he looked. Very not optimistic, no traces of human beings are seen. It's just that at the farthest point of the shot, it's blurry as if there is a big river.
Where there is a river, there will be people, if there are humans in this world. Song Youyu raised his confidence and decided to take a look at the suspected big river.
Before the sun set in the afternoon, Song Youyu walked nearly 100 miles and came to a big river two or three kilometers wide.
During this trip, Song Youyu also killed a tiger with a length of more than two meters, two beasts like wolves, and a herbivore like a sheep.
On the way, I also ate two barbecues to fill my hungry stomach. Animals like sheep have become Song Youyu's mouth, and after eating meat, it can be determined that it is a sheep.
The tiger was killed by two shots, one far away and one near. After the killing, Song Youyu also specially studied it, such a big tiger is not as resistant to a fox as it is. But I didn't see anything famous, so I had to give up.
Both wolves fell with a single shot. It can only be said that with the power of large-caliber modern hunting rifles, these animals encountered are the same as those on Earth. There is no special fox that could become a spirit.
Not only do animals have exceptions and differences, but also Song Youyu itself has changes.
After coming to this world for a few days, Song Youyu found that his spirit was getting better and better, and his body was much stronger than when he was on Earth. The most obvious thing is that my physical fitness is getting better day by day.
It is evident that you can walk 100 miles in half a day like this and not feel tired. Although the time in this world may not be the same as that of the earth, the main thing is that the body has improved a lot.
At present, Song Youyu thinks there are two.
First, the ambient air in this world is good. In this world, Song Youyu feels that his breathing is very comfortable, and he often unconsciously wants to take a deep breath.
The second is what to eat. Since the first time I ate something from this world, not only did it taste good, but every time I ate it, Song Youyu felt warm in my body. Then the state of the body is better.
After a few days, Song Youyu felt that his body had been reborn.
The other difference is time, Song Youyu feels that the day in this world is very long. Since electronic products such as mobile phones may have been burned by the lightning at that time. Therefore, there is no way to know how many hours a day in this world is on the earth, but Song Youyu can estimate it through his own physical habits.
When I first woke up, I ate nine times until it was dark, and I endured hunger nine times. At night, I ate after waking up hungry, and then I woke up hungry and ate again, a total of eight times. Ate it six times throughout the day the next day. The reason why I eat less often is because after eating all the things in the original world except for salt and spices, I eat things from this world to fill my stomach.
It was only after eating the things of this world that Song Youyu's body gradually changed. And the number of meals has also become less.
From this, it can be inferred that a day in this world may be equivalent to a few days or a dozen days on Earth.
If this world is still divided into things according to the rise and fall of the sun, then the big river in front of you is a river that flows from southwest to northeast in the section that Song Youyu can see.
Song Youyu walked to the river and saw that the river was flowing fast, but the river was not turbid. In the shallow waters of the river, fish can be seen. Seeing the swimming fish more than one meter long that appeared in the river from time to time, Song Youyu couldn't help but sigh at the material richness of this world. At least you don't have to be afraid of starving to death if you live in such an environment.
Standing on the bank of the river, Song Youyu used a telescope to check the surrounding situation.
You don't need to look at the upper reaches of the river, it is the direction of Song Youyu to the north, and it is also a stretch of mountains. On the other side of the river, a stretch of plain is also looming in the distance. Only when he looked downstream of the river, Song Youyu noticed that there seemed to be some traces that were not natural in the distance.
Looks like it's time to look downstream into the river. But it's getting late today, so let's leave tomorrow.
Not far from the riverbank, Song Youyu found a suitable campsite. At this time, there is a gap between several large stones more than one person high and an earthen slope.
Since the world is full of beasts, one night is too long. So the campsite must be strong and safe.
This gap can only be used as a campsite, but not for people. Before Song Youyu came to this gap, he sprayed it with insect repellent. After waiting for a while to see that no bugs came out, I took out the folding military shovel from my backpack and started earthwork.
First, the gap needs to be widened and deepened inward, and then a large piece of dry wood is piled up in the hole dug, and the hole is dried with fire while the sky is not yet dark and the fire is not so eye-catching. By the way, I also kill the small insects in the soil.
After the hole is baked, the crevices above are covered with branches and hay, and the top is covered with excavated soil and large and small stones. A hole in the ground was made that could dwell in people.
The cave can be inhabited, but the security problem has not been solved.
Song Youyu ran to the bushes in the distance, cut some bushes with thick bowls, and made a wooden fence and stone shelter and door at the entrance of the hole in the ground.
After doing this, it was getting dark. The roar of a night-eating beast could be heard faintly in the distance.
Song Youyu walked to the river to wash up, looked at the river water that was a little swaying in the night wind, and sighed about the width and volume of the river, then turned around and went back to his cave to rest.
Before entering the burrow, Song Youyu sprayed insect repellent around the burrow. This insect repellent is not an ordinary commercial product, but is aimed at special people who are active in the wild. Not only does it have a strong insecticidal effect, but it can also stimulate the animal's sense of smell. It is the magic weapon of camping in the wilderness. Of course, it's also expensive. In this regard, I still have to thank those rich people.
The sleeping place in the hole in the ground was spread with hay, and the sleeping bag was opened on the hay, and Song Youyu, who was not sleepy, took out the dried meat and a few fruits, sat on the sleeping bag and started the first meal of the night.
The jerky was roasted last time, and the unknown fruit was picked on the road today. At that time, I saw that some animals were eating, and I felt that it would not be poisonous, so I picked some. The green and red fruits are sweet and sour, and they are delicious.
The moonlight shone through the crack in the fence gate and shone on Song Youyu's sleeping bag. In this world, the sun and the moon rise and fall alternately, and the moon is also larger than that on earth.
The soft glow of the moonlight shone down from the distant sky, and in the moonlight, the sound of the grass pulling knots on the ground could be heard by Song Youyu.
The moonlight in this world is very peculiar, a few nights ago, Song Youyu actually saw on the top of a small hill that there were animals looking up and opening their mouths as if they were devouring the moonlight in the moonlit night. At that time, I thought that these animals could not be cultivating.
The river is quiet and noisy at night. The sound is mainly the slight sound of running water and the sound of swimming fish diving in the river. and the roars and screams of night beasts from time to time in the distance.
Song Youyu, who got up at night and ate a supper and continued to sleep, was awakened by the loud sound of water waves in the river. Got out of his sleeping bag and looked out at the river through the gap in the fence at the entrance of the cave in a daze. Since the terrain of the cave entrance is much higher than the river level, you can see the river surface through the fence.
Song Youyu looked at the sound of the water on the surface of the river, and saw a behemoth in the river on the surface of the river, making waves and wantonly coming from the downstream of the river.
What is that, Song Youyu, who suspected that he was dreaming, twisted his thighs hard.
I saw that on the water surface of the river, a big snake nearly 100 meters long came as if taking advantage of the wind and waves--- no, it was a dragon, it was not right, it looked like a dragon depicted by the ancients.
In the moonlight. Carp whiskers, horse faces, bull ears, antlers, snake bodies, fish scales、......。
Yes, it's Jiaolong. Because there is no dragon tail, but a snake tail.
Watching the dragon depicted by the ancients swimming in front of him alive, Song Youyu was confused. Damn, what kind of world did I come to?
