alien island

It turns out that in this river, there is a particularly prominent place in the area connecting the two banks.When the water level is full, nothing can be seen, but when the water level drops a little, the narrow walkway connecting the two banks protruding from the bottom of the river is revealed.I don't know if it's stone or mud, or if it's natural.

This narrow walkway just protrudes from the precipitation position, and its width is only about as wide as a thin bamboo pole. If you walk on it, you can barely step on it with one foot, and you can't step on it with two feet side by side.If a person with a slightly poor sense of balance walks on it, one who is not paying attention may fall into the muddy river water on both sides due to the instability of the body.No matter how narrow this protruding walkway is, Zhang Yao is still very grateful for its appearance, at least it is much better than swimming in the water and risking his life by stepping on this narrow walkway.

Zhang Yao first stepped on it tentatively a few times. Although the surface was not very hard and was soaked in the river water, it was still a bit slippery, but overall it was still strong, and people could completely step on it without collapsing.

After confirming that the place he was stepping on was safe, Zhang Yao looked at the strong vines hanging from the trees behind him, and thought of a safe way.Greet everyone, first go to collect the vines hanging on the tree, ask for the kind of strong vines instead of dry and easy to break, connect them together, lengthen the length of the vines, and connect it into a tens of meter long tree vine rope.Then, Zhang Yao let the movements be the most flexible. Pei Yan, who was just thinking about crossing the river, first tied one end of the tree vine rope, crossed to the other bank of the river, tied the end of the tree vine rope to the strong tree trunk on the other bank, and then tied the end of the tree vine rope to the strong tree trunk on the other bank. The vines on the side are also tied to the trees, so that everyone can cross the river slowly with the help of the vines, so that they will not fall into the river if they become unstable.

Although Zhang Yao felt that he should have had no problems in the past, but thinking about the two inexperienced little devils, such a long stretch of road is narrow and slippery. .With the current tree vines as traction, I believe it should be much better.

Wrapping the long rope made of vines around his shoulders, Pei Yan was still carrying a heavy luggage bag in his other hand. He easily jumped onto the narrow path in the river and walked towards the other side of the river.Seeing Pei Yan walking and laying down the tree and rattan ropes, Zhang Yao also assisted on the shore here, tidying up the remaining tree and rattan ropes on the ground so that they would not get knotted and twisted together.When he saw that Pei Yan had crossed the river bank smoothly, Zhang Yao waited for the other side to tie the vine rope to the tree, so that he could tie up this side as well.

The gesture made by Pei Yan on the other side, Zhang Yao understood that it was OK, so he turned around and wanted to tie the tree vine rope on this side to the strong tree trunk, but in the blink of an eye, Zhang Yao seemed to notice Something is wrong in the river.

Seeing Zhang Yao staring at the river, Jun Yi frowned, Xiang Chen couldn't help urging from the side: "Why are you suddenly stunned? Are you not tied with the rope?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the river water seems to be rising again?" The river water that had just kept a gap of about one decimeter away from the raised narrow walkway, now seems to have risen a bit. Zhang Yao is sure this is not the case. his delusion.

"Really, Brother Zhang Yao, the water seems to be rising again." Ke Yiqiao, who has always observed things carefully, confirmed Zhang Yao's speculation after looking at the condition of the river.

"Then what should we do now?" Xiang Chen didn't expect that the river would recede fast and rise even faster. How much time is left for them to cross the river now?

"Quick! You two go over first with your stuff on your back." Frowning even tighter, Zhang Yao beckoned the two of them to go up first, grabbing the tree and rattan rope.

"Brother Zhang Yao, what about you?"

"I have to tie the rope up to the tree quickly, you two hurry up! I will pull the rope first, and you go over quickly, and I can go over faster." If he finished tying the rope and the two of them moved a little, Zhang Yao felt that he might be impatient and kick them into the river...

"What nonsense? If you don't leave, I will leave first." Seeing that Ke Yiqiao was still talking to Zhang Yao procrastinatingly, Xiang Chen didn't have time to care about these things, so he was the first to step on the narrow river in the river. Looking at the river water that was almost lingering under his feet, Xiang Chen swallowed his saliva, raised his head and looked ahead, holding the tree and rattan rope with both hands, and walked slowly over the narrow path step by step.

After driving the two of them away, Zhang Yao hurriedly ran and pulled the rope to the edge of the big tree he had hoped for at the beginning, and quickly tied the remaining part of the rope to the trunk, and tied it firmly to the tree trunk. There was an unbreakable knot, everything was in order, Zhang Yao also carried his own things on his back, and quickly returned towards the river.The water level in the river has risen quite a bit, and the two little ghosts have not even reached half of the river, and they are still moving there cautiously.

Zhang Yao stepped on the narrow road, strode forward and rushed over, and his hand only symbolically supported the rattan rope of the safety tree beside him.Not long after, he caught up with the two in front.Seeing that the speed of the two was as slow as he expected, Zhang Yao really wanted to kick them directly to the opposite bank, maybe the speed could be faster.

"Hey, you two are walking too slowly, aren't you?" Zhang Yao stood in the narrow aisle and had to wait patiently for a few seconds. He could only take a step forward after the person in front had walked a few steps. , quite a test of his patience.

"I'm sorry, brother Zhang Yao, this road is so slippery, I can't walk fast." Although she really didn't want to cause trouble, the slipperiness of this narrow road far exceeded Ke Yiqiao's expectations. A lot of courage, afraid of a sudden slip and fall.

"If you keep urging me, I won't be able to walk so fast. Don't bother me with your words!" Concentrating all your attention, you can stand firmly on this slippery narrow road, Zhang Yao is still urging behind you, Xiang Chen became even more nervous, and the palms of his hands holding the tree vines were dripping with sweat.

Finally, when the three of them moved to the middle of the river, the river water under their feet could almost wet the soles of their shoes, and Ke Yiqiao, who was holding the rope in both hands, and his palms were already wet with sweat, let out a breath slowly, wanting to stretch her out. He put one hand on his body to wipe the sweat from the palm of his hand, fearing that the sweat would be too much to grasp the rope, but unexpectedly, just as one hand was lifted up, the body lost balance, and Ke Yiqiao's feet swayed I slipped into the river below, and my body was tilted and I was about to fall into the water.

Zhang Yao and Xiang Chen reached out their hands at the same time, one grabbed Ke Yiqiao's arm, and the other grabbed her shoulder. It was so dangerous that Ke Yiqiao was grabbed by the two and did not slide down, but one foot was still on the ground. In the river, the shoes were completely soaked by the water.

"You..." Annoyed, she was about to scold something, when Xiang Chen suddenly noticed that Ke Yiqiao was still stepping on the foot next to the water, and something was swimming towards her foot quickly, Xiang Chen's expression turned pale. Changing, shouting: "Idiot! Pull your feet back quickly!"

"Oh!" With one foot firmly on the top of the narrow path, Ke Yiqiao quickly lifted her other foot out of the water.A big fish jumped out of the water following her raised foot. Fortunately, Ke Yiqiao's foot retracted quickly, otherwise the big fish would have bitten off her entire ankle.

The fish that fell into the water after failing to attack had dotted markings all over its body. The mouth of the big fish was very ferocious, with its eyeballs protruding outside, and its huge teeth protruding from its upper lip. It was exactly as Zhang Yao described it. Piranhas are ten times bigger and ten times uglier.

"This... is this the leopard fish?" It was really a close call. Looking back, I only saw the tail of the fish swaying when it fell into the water, but Ke Yiqiao could already guess what kind of fish it was, and couldn't help asking behind him in shock. Zhang Yao.

"Well, yes. Let's go! The water is coming up." The water was soaking the shoes, and Zhang Yao thought that if they didn't walk faster, those leopard fish could swim directly to their feet.

Moreover, the surrounding situation is still going in the worst direction, because the leopard fish that found food and did not attack just now attracted a group of hungry leopard fish to swim over, and their fish swarmed together , formed a semicircle and followed the feet of prey that was extremely close to them, and some even couldn't help jumping out of the water to bite their feet.These fish looking for death were stabbed to death by Zhang Yao with a dagger bent down, and the bleeding wounded fish were immediately eaten by other fish of the same kind. Zhang Yao also took this opportunity to urge the two people in front to hurry up. point.

The school of fish was about to move around at the bottom of their feet, waiting for the river to rise to attack them, but the distance between the three of them was still so far away from the shore. Seeing this, Pei Yan on the opposite bank became worried about Zhang Yao, and was thinking about what to do. Before he could help them over as soon as possible, Pei Yan suddenly noticed that there seemed to be inexplicable ripples on the river bank.

Circles of water ripples spread across the river. I don't know what caused them. Just by observing the size of these ripples, it is estimated that the volume of that thing is not small.Pei Yan stared at the ripples on the river with a vigilant expression, and found that they all came from the direction of the blue flat leaves and white flowers on the river bank. What's going on?When he stared at the blue plants again, Pei Yan noticed that the pile of leaves and flowers that were originally floating by the river bank, which could not move at all, started to slowly move and float towards Zhang Yao. The direction of the three of them has been drifting past...
