Original War

Chapter 153

Shao Xuan knew that the river was very big, but he didn’t know it would be so big.

Sailing, manual paddling, and chatting to pull the boat alternately. Except for a short rest period, the canoe is always on the move.

According to the sun and the double moon in the evening, Shao Xuan always judged the direction and tried to make the canoe drive in a straight line. Although he encountered a lot of troubles on the way, he also encountered crazy fish fights on the way, and had to bypass the long road. It’s not that I haven’t seen the head yet.

“It’s only fifteen days after today.” Shao Xuan looked at the still invisible water in front, and said to the chatter who was resting next to him.

The chirping who was resting next to him responded with a weak voice. In addition to the excitement and novelty at the beginning, countless things that frightened him happened one after another, which made him lose a lot of bird feathers recently. .

Shao Xuan was also tired. He hadn’t had a good rest for fifteen days in a row. Although his resilience was very strong, he could not bear the long-term exhaustion. Moreover, what Shao Xuan was most worried about now was that if he went forward, he would There will be no time to return home. After all, according to the original plan, for fifteen days at most, if he failed to find the edge, he would go back. However, now I always feel that I should move forward.

“Chacha, do you think there is a continent ahead?” Shao Xuan kicked the bird next to him. The river was beyond his imagination, and he believed that if he could continue to go into the sea.

Chacha, with his head down and combing his feathers, raised his head and responded, and then looked forward. It can feel the breath of the continent ahead, but it doesn’t know how far it is.

Shao Xuan actually felt that way. He always felt that if he went further, he would reach the other side of the river. However, that would be too risky. Even if it is almost to the opposite bank by then, what if the river has fallen sharply and cannot see the top?

how to choose?

Go ahead or go back?

Shao Xuan closed his eyes, feeling the totem in his mind.

The totem flame in his mind rolled up, and the direction of the flame fluttered forward, and it surged violently.

Opening his eyes, Shao Xuan adjusted his sails, “Go on.”

“Hey–” the chirp replied feebly. It started to miss the life of the tribe, but thinking about the new land that Shao Xuan said, it became excited again.

In this way, after another eight days, Shao Xuan felt the totem flame in his mind surging more and more violently, but at the same time, the flow of the river in the river was also faster. Shao Xuan has seen such a situation. When this happens, the river will drop sharply. When in the tribe, perhaps today you can still see a few exposed rocks on the bank of the river that were originally in the water, but the next day, You will see a muddy steep slope.

Chacha flew in the sky, pulling the boat.

When Shao Xuan was thinking about it, the chirping in the air yelled.

Shao Xuan looked to the sky abruptly. The cry like this means that there is something in front of it, most likely, it is the river bank.

Chacha landed, and Shao Xuan jumped onto the eagle’s back, and then asked Chacha to take a look in the air.

It is not easy to see when you are in a canoe, but when you are in the air, you can see a very thin black line on the far boundary, and you will not notice if you are not careful.

While chatting with the rope on his paws, it is impossible to throw the canoe and fly to the high altitude alone. In that case, the canoe will be washed away by the fast flowing river.

Even if he couldn’t fly to a higher altitude to observe, Shao Xuan was excited enough.

After drifting on the river for more than 20 days, he was terrified. If he can’t see the side anymore, Shao Xuan really loses his confidence. It’s a death.

Now that I saw the boundary line, the pressure in my heart suddenly dropped, and I felt that the fatigue caused by the past 20 days had disappeared a lot, and it was much more relaxed.

“Okay, twitter, it’s almost there! Put more!”

Shao Xuan returned to the boat and continued to pull.

The flow of the river is getting faster and faster, and the piranhas in the water are gradually decreasing. I don’t know if it is the cause of the change of the river or something else. For at least these two days, Shao Xuan did not encounter other threats from fish in the river, but the wind, wind direction, and flow rate of the river did not make the boat move fast.

The “black line” of the boundary became more and more obvious. Looking at the sky, Shao Xuan hoped that it would be better to arrive before sunset. There are too many unknown variables at night.

As he approached the river bank, Shao Xuan realized that the river bank looked like a mountain exposing the river surface because the river had fallen too much.

Fortunately, fortunately, although it feels like sailing under the abyss now, it is after all to the side.

In the new place, Shao Xuan suddenly felt an unspeakable excitement in his heart.

The bank of the river, similar to the tribe, was a steep slope near the bank.

However, not far away, there is still water flowing down. There should be a tributary there, and the water flowing out of it merges into the big river, but now the surface of the big river drops, the water there flows down directly along the steep slope.

The closer to the shore, the stronger the wind. There was a smell of mud and decay in the wind.

Shao Xuan looked at the height of the shore and the steep muddy slope on the shore, thinking that the canoe can no longer be docked.

After more than 20 days of sailing, although I used a very strong and corrosion-resistant tree, I was hit by a big fish and bitten by a big fish during the sailing, leaving many criss-cross marks, and a hole was broken at the bottom. Shao Xuan blocked it with something. This canoe has completed its mission.

Shao Xuan carried all the things left on the canoe to carry on his back. After Chacha landed, he jumped on Chacha’s back and flew up to the river bank one person and one eagle.

Without the eagle, the damaged canoe continued to be pulled, drifting downstream along the fast-flowing river, and soon there was only a small shadow left, and then disappeared from Shao Xuan’s vision.

The wind was getting stronger and there was no definite direction. Several times, he almost lifted the chatter into the muddy ground on the side.

“Come on, man! Work harder!” Shao Xuan grasped the eagle’s body tightly and said loudly.

Chacha flapped his wings vigorously and flew upwards.

While flying, Shao Xuan suddenly said, “Wait, go and take a look over there!”

Although I don’t understand why Shao Xuan wants to go over there, Cha Cha still turned around and flew towards the place Shao Xuan pointed out.

Soon, Shao Xuan saw a figure caught in the mud and entangled in algae, being dragged down.

“Help…!” The man still yelled, his voice a little hoarse, apparently he had been yelling for a while, but no one had come over, and it seemed that he didn’t have much energy left.

The man was not very young when he heard the sound, and he was already covered with mud, and his whole body had been torn down by nearly two-thirds, and there were still water plants sticking out of the mud entangled towards him.

Chacha couldn’t get close there, so Shao Xuan asked Chacha to grab the straw rope, and he tied the other end of the straw rope and jumped down.

“Extend your hand!” Shao Xuan said.

Seeing Shao Xuan jumping from the eagle’s back, the other party was still stunned, but quickly pulled his arms out of the mud.

Shao Xuan grabbed his arms and pulled up.

The water plants are entangled too tightly. If they were forced to pull up like this, they would probably break the person’s arm directly.

Shao Xuankong took out a hand, asked Chacha to go down a little bit, took out a stone knife, and quickly cut over the aquatic plants sticking out of the mud.

When Shao Xuan pulled the person up, the person who got stuck in the mud also concentrated his last energy, trying to break free from the grass still tied to his legs.

Shao Xuan discovered that although his face was full of mud and he couldn’t see clearly, the iris in his eyes was yellowish-brown, and the pupils were erect, like a blade, which made people feel fierce and cold and merciless.

I don’t know which tribe it belongs to, Shao Xuan thought.

Before leaving, Shao Xuan went to Wu’s place to receive training, and he read almost all the Tibetan scrolls in Wu’s place. The person in front of him, Shao Xuan has too little information, and it is not possible to compare the person in front of him with Gu. The record on the volume matches the number.

After finally pulling people out of the mud bit by bit, Chacha started flying up quickly.

When he finally flew up, his feet stepped on the ground again, and there was a sense of fulfillment in his heart. This is the real ground, not the wavy river surface.

The feeling of being rooted and implemented is indeed more secure.

Chacha also stood on the grassy ground and stepped on several feet alternately.

As for the person rescued by Shao Xuan, he seemed to be just an underage child, but he was very vigilant towards Shao Xuan, even if Shao Xuan saved his life just now.

The other party didn’t say anything, and Shao Xuan didn’t ask. After his heart settled down, he began to pay attention to his surroundings.

There are not many traces of human activities around, but some can be seen. There are also mountains in the distance, and most of this area is muddy, with many pits and craters, and the natural sunken ground forms pools of different sizes. In addition, Shao Xuan is still on the rocks near some of the pools. There are marks of claws and teeth biting. That was not made by humans…

In the water?

However, Shao Xuan did not feel the danger from these pools, nor did Chai. If it’s not that the creatures in the water hide too well, it’s that there are no dangerous animals in the water at the moment.

The person who was rescued by Shao Xuan lay quietly on the ground next to him, panting. Although he didn’t speak, his eyes kept peeking at Chacha next to Shao Xuanhe.

Finally, the child couldn’t help it.

“Who are you? Why do you appear in our tribe?” the other party asked.

“Your tribe? Which tribe are you from?” Shao Xuan asked, seeing the other party still very wary, and said: “My eagle and I came from a long distance by boat, but the river descended too fast. We hurried ashore. The ship was washed away just now, and I don’t know how far it went.”

“How long have you been in the river?” The other party didn’t believe Shao Xuan’s words, and looked at Shao Xuan suspiciously. It seems that Shao Xuan doesn’t even know the own tribe.

“It’s been more than twenty days.” Shao Xuan said.

The other party opened his eyes wide, and the pupils in those yellow-brown eyes were still shrinking thinly.
