After discovering the reticulated pottery pot and continuing to sail downstream, Shao Xuan noticed the existence of tribes again, but those tribes were a little far away from the Yanhe River, so he couldn't tell what tribe they were. The tribe is not a powerful tribe, otherwise the fire would not be so weak, and Shao Xuan could not clearly feel it.
When inserting the monument, they also found some traces of human life, but there should be very few people coming to the riverside. Although there are traces, they are not new, and the artifacts found later are pottery and tools with mesh patterns. There are also other pattern-style pottery and tools. Obviously, more than one tribe has been here. After that, the tribes should increase.
On the map, Shao Xuan marked the location of the fire of a tribe he had just felt on the animal skin scroll.
"Why don't we go and see?" Dolly asked Shao Xuan, if he could go ashore and look for where the fire exists, he would know what the tribe there was like.
"No need." Shao Xuan put away the animal skin roll, "Don't worry too much about those, it's a waste of time to find them one by one, the Yanhe River is very long, we don't know if we can finish it within the predetermined time, those small tribes are temporarily do not worry about it."
Looking in front of Yan He, Shao Xuan said: "Also, I feel that there will be a slightly larger tribe ahead."
It is rare for Shao Xuan to say the word "slightly bigger". Most of the tribes in the Yanhe area are small tribes with a small number of people, and even some tribes have only a few hundred people together, which is pitifully small, and they don't even know how much. How did these tribes survive until now
Hearing Shao Xuan say "a slightly larger tribe" really lifted everyone's spirits. Finally a bigger clan
If the Yanhe area were all those small tribes with a total number of only a few hundred people, it would not bring much trouble to the Yanjiao, but the comprehensive strength of the Yanhe area is too weak, even if they are united, they will not be able to Not the strength of the middle corner of the family.
"Have you noticed that the further you go downstream, the wider the Yan River?" Shao Xuan asked.
"It really is!"
Shao Xuan didn't mention that they hadn't noticed yet. Looking at the banks of the Yan River, it seemed that they were farther away. They have been walking on the side away from the beast land, and now they look at the mountains and forests opposite, things there seem to be smaller. Just as Shao Xuan said, the lower reaches of the Yan River are wider.
Shao Xuan roughly estimated that the distance between the two sides of the strait was definitely more than a kilometer in the section they were in. Moreover, recently, the types of fish they caught from the river in Duoli have also increased, and it is not just those piranhas.
Fortunately, the boat can still navigate the river normally, and there are no wood-eating worms and no river beasts in the river.
No, to be precise, there are only those giant beasts that lived in the river when the big river existed in the past, but it is unknown whether there are beasts that entered this river from the land of beasts. The wider the river, the wider the living environment. Perhaps, some water-loving beasts have entered the river from the mountains and forests.
"Be careful, pay attention to the movement in the water, we are still sailing by the river bank." Shao Xuan said.
Generally speaking, there are few large aquatic beasts in the water near the river bank, and there are many large aquatic beasts in the deep water in the middle of the river. Shao Xuan and the others still don’t know if there are giant beasts they don’t know exist in the river, so be careful. It's good, and if it's close to the river bank, if something happens, it's better to get to the bank in time and run to the bank.
"Where's Chacha?" Shao Xuan looked at the sky around him, but he didn't see Chacha.
"Have you gone foraging? I didn't see it just now." Tuo said.
Shao Xuan didn't care. It was like this during this period of time. After taking Shao Xuan up to the sky to observe a circle, Chacha would run away to play by himself, perhaps to inquire ahead, or to the place of the beasts. foraging in the forest.
…
In a certain section of the river downstream of Shao Xuan and the others.
In the middle of the river, a raft was shaking violently.
On the raft, another young man was panic-stricken, grabbing the raft tightly to prevent being thrown from the raft. He still had a chance on the raft, but if he was thrown into the water, he would be doomed.
The reason the raft shook so violently was because something was moving in the river.
And on the bank of the river, there are several young people standing there shouting, even if they want to help, they can't do anything, they can't go into the water, if they go into the water, they will die. If they are swallowed by the fish in the river, they will die.
Archery
It's useless, the fish in the river is too shrewd to give them the chance to shoot arrows at all. They either hide under water or hide behind the raft. If they shoot arrows, they may injure the people on the raft. They shoot arrows carefully. , dare not shoot indiscriminately.
"Brother! Hold on, they've already called someone!" a child in his early ten years shouted from the shore.
"Pause it, beat it with the pulp!"
"Fart! Don't listen to him, don't use the paddle, that will irritate it even more, silk, hold on to the raft, hold on to the delay!" Another slightly older young man shouted hastily.
The faces of these people were so anxious that they couldn't even bother to wipe off the big drops of sweat, and throwing stones at the water couldn't attract the attention of the strange fish in the river.
Their original goal was actually not the strange fish, but another big fish that was nearly two people long. The nets they woven were also designed to catch that big fish. Not only did they kill their prey, but they almost ate them all. If it hadn't been for the Silk Road to attract attention, they wouldn't be able to return to the shore safely, but the Silk Road on the raft was not lucky enough to land, and even the people brought the raft together. Was pushed to the middle of the river.
Moreover, the strange fish did not attack with full force all at once. Instead, it swam around the raft like a game, and from time to time, the raft was pushed up to make the raft shake violently.
Probably because the strange fish in the river had no interest in teasing its prey, it gradually floated up and showed its figure.
The skin with tan markings seems to be attached to a thick layer of crusty scales, and the reflected sunlight makes people feel icy cold. The triangular head is more than half of the water surface, much higher than the person on the raft, the body is nearly five meters long, and it may be longer, and there is also its swaying tail under the water.
The strange fish that surfaced more than half of its body seemed to have no fear, and was not worried that someone would threaten it at this time. The three-petaled mouth was already open, and then snapped towards the raft.
Click!
A raft made of wood as thick as one person can easily be bitten out of a gap.
Click!
Another mouthful.
With each mouthful, the raft shook violently.
The people on the raft shouted in horror and retreated in the direction away from the strange fish, but the raft is so big, where can it retreat
"Archery, shoot arrows!" shouted the people on the shore.
"The arrows have been shot!"
"Throwing stones, keep throwing stones!"
"No, it's useless!"
"My daddy, why haven't they come yet!" A girl could not wait to cry. Not only her, but others too.
Who would have thought that they would encounter such a powerful fish when they sneaked out to catch a fish. They had never encountered it before.
No wonder the elders of the tribe didn't let them get close to the water. They just wanted to hunt a big fish to prove themselves. If they knew that there were such terrifying fish in the river, they would definitely not run over without their own power.
This is simply to die!
The net they made couldn't catch the strange fish at all.
Someone wanted to go into the water to support, but was pulled. At this time, a few people die when they go into the water. That strange fish doesn't want to play anymore, and won't give them another chance to escape.
In the middle of the river, the strange fish that had bitten off half of the raft was about to continue to bite, and two more bites would be able to bite its prey. However, after opening his mouth, the strange fish suddenly stopped, then dropped the raft and immediately dived.
