You know, just at the edge of the swamp, Ning Xiaofan has already seen several crocodile-like creatures appearing in the swamp, and the size is astonishingly large, probably three times larger than the crocodile.

The swamp was impossible to pass through, so there were only two routes left for the two of them, one was to cross the grassland and return to the virgin forest, and the other was to enter the nearby mountains and detour from the mountains.

As the saying goes, you don't go far, Ning Xiaofan will not go back to the horrible virgin forest foolishly, so he led Li Wanting to climb up the mountain.

The towering mountains are just a visual effect. In fact, the peaks are not high, and the altitude is only about 400 meters.

It took about an hour. The two climbed up the first mountain and walked along the slightly gentle mountain ridge. When they were about to enter another big mountain, there was a faint sound of rushing water and roaring from obliquely in front.

Is there water ahead?

Ning Xiaofan pondered for a while, and immediately called Li Wanting to walk in the direction of the sound of water.

The mountains are rolling and rolling, and there are no fixed signs. Ning Xiaofan plans to find a mountain stream, and then walk along the mountain stream. In this way, drinking water can be guaranteed, and there is also a route for reference.

Not long after traveling, the sound of rushing water became more and more clear, and the accompanying roar became more and more deafening.

When the two of them bypassed a huge rock lying in front of them, they felt the moisture hit their faces, and their expressions were stunned!

I saw a huge canyon in front of me, and on the opposite side of the towering canyon wall, a huge waterfall about a hundred feet wide came into view!The hundred-foot-wide waterfall forms a huge wall of white water, which roars down with astonishing momentum, which is breathtaking.

Below the waterfall is a turbulent river nearly [-] feet wide. The roaring waterfall hit the river, splashing huge water splashes. The tumbling water vapor permeated from the other side of the canyon to the area where the two were standing. .

He didn't find a mountain stream, but he found a rushing river. Of course, this didn't affect Ning Xiaofan's planned route.

Whether it is the main line sign or the terrain along the way, since entering the tiankeng, the terrain has always been downward. .

The two descended the steep slope to the edge of the river bank, and then marched down the river bank.

The river bank was overgrown with bushes and weeds everywhere, and the two of them did not have a machete to open the way, and it was quite difficult to walk with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

The river was meandering, and the water was very turbulent at first, but soon after, a huge S-shaped backwater bay appeared, and at the end of the backwater bay, there was an additional tributary, and the water situation also became gentler.

Although there are more tributaries, the direction of the main waterway does not deviate from the main line, so there is no need to change the route, and the two still walk along the river bank.

After continuing to walk hard for a while, Ning Xiaofan suddenly remembered something, slapped his forehead and said, "I'm so fucking stupid."

"Xiao Fan, what's the matter?" Li Wanting looked at him puzzled.

Ning Xiaofan pointed to the river: "Sister Ting, the river is gentle, we can make a raft and go down the river, it will save a lot of trouble, I didn't even think of this, what is it not stupid?"

Then Li Wanting came to a sudden, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "It's not too late to think about it now, besides, didn't I not think of this, isn't that stupid than you?"

"Well, I didn't mean you were stupid." Ning Xiaofan said awkwardly.

"I know, I don't blame you..." Li Wanting first cast a coquettish look at him, then said slightly after pondering: "Xiaofan, have you ever thought about... what if there are cannibals in the water?" What about the monster fish?"

Li Wanting recalled the strange fish she encountered when crossing the river a few days ago, and she still has lingering fears.

"Don't be afraid, last time we took a rubber boat, this time we made a wooden raft, I think even if there are piranhas, no matter how sharp their teeth are, they can't chew hard wood..."

"But, we don't have tools for logging..." Li Wanting asked.

"Uh, this is a little bit. In this way, the forest resources in this canyon are quite rich. Let's search nearby first to see if we can find some broken long logs. There are only two of us, so five or six trees are enough."

The two went to the woods by the river bank to find wood that could be used as a raft.

Ning Xiaofan's idea was relatively naive, the two searched for a while, and saw broken branches and leaves all over the place, but none of the wood used for the raft was found, even if there was a broken trunk with a suitable shape, it was already rotten. up.

Fortunately, limited by the terrain of this canyon, there are many trees that are as thick as bowls, and the small ones can still be used if they are small. Ning Xiaofan has no choice but to use these small trees.

There are no logging tools, only a dagger.

However, the function of this dagger is quite good, the American military M9 type, a classic version recognized by military fans!

The M9 produced by BUCK company is 310mm long, 37mm wide, and 6mm thick. It uses 425M special steel as the raw material. The blade part has undergone special heat treatment, which is super hard and extremely sharp.

Since it is a classic dagger sought after by military fans, it naturally has multiple uses.The back of the knife is designed with sawtooth, and the angle of the sawtooth is designed ingeniously, which can saw off the aircraft shell. There is also a small round hole at the front of the dagger, which can be combined with the sheath to form pliers for cutting barbed wire or wires. In addition, there are some openings. A beer bottle, and a small function to unscrew a screw.

It is obviously exaggerated to use the sawtooth on the back of the dagger to saw big trees, but it can still play a big role when used to saw small trees.

Ning Xiaofan chose a tree with a thick bowl mouth, first made a notch with a sharp blade, and then used the sawtooth to pull it back and forth along the notch.

In less than 10 minutes, the sharp sawtooth sawed two-thirds of the gap in the trunk. Without finishing sawing, I kicked it up fiercely, and only heard a "click", and the tree with a bowl-thick mouth collapsed.

The trees are only as thick as the mouth of a bowl, and 5 or 6 trees are obviously not enough. Ning Xiaofan cut down 14 trees with a saw belt before he stopped.In the end, the branches and leaves were removed, 7 pieces of wood were stacked in two layers, and some strong vines were found to bind and twine. It took about three hours before and after, and a rough and simple raft was completed.

After the raft was finished, Ning Xiaofan was exhausted. He glanced at his watch, and it was already past 8 o'clock in the evening.

Although there is no alternation of day and night in the underground world, according to the previous work and rest time, it is time to find a place to camp.

This canyon has a river on one side and a steep slope on the other. Due to terrain constraints, the forests on the slope are not large, and no ridiculously large creatures have been seen.

Ning Xiaofan didn't bother, so he found a nearby sunken rock nest similar to last night and set up a tent.

While Li Wanting was arranging the interior of the tent, Ning Xiaofan dragged the raft to the river and put it into the river, then tied a vine connected to the raft to the trunk of a big tree to prevent the raft from floating away.

I believe that after one night's inspection, this extremely rough-looking raft can not sink, so it can be used with confidence.

After dinner, Ning Xiaofan and Li Wanting got into the tent early to rest. Like last night, they embraced each other and slept. They still maintained restraint and nothing happened.However, Li Wanting still habitually stretched out her slender hand to hold Ning Xiaofan's impulsive man. In her heart, she naively thought that this would make this little man feel better and not hurt her body.As everyone knows, her soothing action can only make Ning Xiaofan work harder...

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Ning Xiaofan went to the river to see if the raft was still there.

Fortunately, the rough and ugly raft was floating on the river.

The wood used in the raft is only a little thicker than the mouth of the bowl. Half of the wood on the lower layer is immersed in the river water, and the surface of the upper layer is also a little wet.Just to be on the safe side, Ning Xiaofan went up to try it out. The buoyancy of the raft was good. When he stepped down hard, the raft didn't show signs of sinking. It probably wouldn't be a problem to bear the weight of two people.

Ning Xiaofan was secretly delighted that the raft was usable, and turned back to the rock nest where he lived. After having a simple breakfast with Li Wanting, he packed up and went to the riverside.

When the two got on the raft, they felt that the raft had only sank a little, and it was floating steadily on the river.

Ning Xiaofan ignored the wet surface of the raft, motioned for Li Wanting to sit down, then untied the vines tied to the tree trunk, and used a simple paddle to push against the tree trunk, and the raft under his feet slowly left the river bank. Floating downstream...

With this raft, it really is a lot easier. Going down the river, almost no oars are needed. Ning Xiaofan only needs to hold the simple tiller installed at the tail of the raft to stabilize the direction of the raft. .

The river was gentle, and the speed of the raft seemed slow, but it was several times faster than walking on the shore.

The towering rock walls along the coast stretched endlessly, and after passing through one after another, the roar of beasts could be heard from a distance from time to time.

This situation reminded Ning Xiaofan of a famous poem - the sound of apes on both sides of the strait can't stop, the light boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains.Of course, the environment Ning Xiaofan and Li Wanting lived in was much poorer and more depressing. There was no ape sound, only the palpitating beast roar, and the poetic light boat was an ugly raft...

The current is fast and sometimes slow, and the raft is fast and sometimes slow. As time goes by, how many kilometers did the two drift on this raft?

This time-saving and labor-saving way of traveling is naturally the best. At noon, the two of them did not intend to stop at the shore, and planned to travel as much as possible.

It's a pity that this kind of relaxing and pleasant rafting didn't last long, and the water flow on the river suddenly gradually became turbulent. Not only that, but there was also a faint roaring sound coming from ahead.

As the speed of the raft became faster and the roaring sound was getting closer and closer, Ning Xiaofan suddenly remembered the underground river he encountered when he just got off the tiankeng, and was startled. So he quickly motioned for Li Wanting to help steer the helm, while he paddled desperately towards the shore!
