Survive in the beast world

Chapter 51 Unreachable

The encounter may be memorable, and the reunion may be touching.

But the problem facing Li Shizhen and Bai at present is very realistic. Brachiosaurus can cross the wide river in front of them, which is so wide that they can't see the other side, but how the two of them will get across is really a problem.

Li Shizhen and Bai looked at each other.

"How did you get here before?"

Bai pointed to the biome on the other side, and Li Shi raised his forehead. It seems that this guy was also carried along with the crossing animals, or he simply hitched a ride with some kind of large animal.

The two waited and watched on the shore for a while, and it seemed that the creatures on both sides of the river were very satisfied with the current living environment, and no one wanted to cross the river.

Miss Brachiosaurus let out a long cry again, and Li Shizhen waved at it. It seemed that its group was going to continue looking for food after drinking water.

Li Shizhen didn't intend to let Miss Brachiosaurus come to pick them up, not to mention how he would inform Miss Brachiosaurus, the ecological chain in this watershed is so complicated, Tyrannosaurus might be just one of the top predators, there is still a lot in this water. With the giant crocodile just now, there should be predators more terrifying than the overlord in the water. It is too dangerous for a brachiosaurus to cross the river alone.

It seems that we have to find another way.

The weather is warm and humid now, and the vegetation around this watershed is vast and lush. The brachiosaurus should stay at least for a while, enough for Li Shizhen to figure out a way.

"Let's settle down here first?" Li Shizhen asked with gestures, the water was too loud, he was afraid that Baihu could not hear the voice, and he still needed to make up his mind about the situation around here, after all, Baihu seemed to be right. It's more familiar here.

"En." Bai nodded without objection, according to his thinking, squatting by the river, sooner or later there will always be creatures wading through the water.

Li Shizhen didn't have any good ideas for the time being, it really didn't work, brachiosaurus always had to cross the river when they moved south, sighed.

After the current discussion, the two need to stay on the south bank for a while. Now they have nothing but weapons and a small amount of necessities, and the Brachiosaurus is out of reach, and the supplies on the back of Brachiosaurus can only be temporarily Idle.

Li Shizhen frowned slightly when he thought of the ferocious predators under the tree. It seemed that he could only live in the tree temporarily like in the jungle.

As for where to stay, Li Shizhen glanced at the white tiger beside him, and began to gesture again: "Where will we stay tonight?"

Bai's head was staring slightly at the side, as if he was remembering something. Under the sunlight, even wearing a simple leaf hat could not hide the charm of his tough and handsome face.

He seemed to think about it for a while, and nodded to Li Shizhen confidently. Bai filled the bamboo tube on his body again and pulled Li Shizhen to continue climbing towards the cliff next to the waterfall.

The purpose of this operation does not seem to be far away, just beside the cliff of the waterfall.When Li Shizhen saw the hidden cave among the jagged rocks, he was slightly taken aback.

This cave is located on the edge of the waterfall, because in the middle of the mountain, it is covered by huge boulders, a few small animals were driven away in vain just now, and large animals seem to be unable to enter, but it is just suitable for the two to settle.

The space inside is not large, even smaller than the underground stone room in between, but once you walk in, the loud sound of the waterfall suddenly decreases, which is very magical.

From Baihu's unexpectedly clear layout of the cave, it seems that he has stayed here for a long time.

There are some traces left by the small animals on the ground, and more of them are dry grass and soft branches. It seems that they should have been left for a long time, and they are probably left by the white tiger.There were even scratches from his sharpened claws on the nearby stone wall.

After a little cleaning, Li Shizhen and Bai discussed and started to split up. Li Shizhen picked up some dry firewood on the back of the waterfall. The cave is just on the side of the waterfall. The woods are so humid that even the rocks outside the cave are covered with moss , but there are many piles of dead wood on the back of the col, and Li Shizhen even collected a lot of fruits and vegetables.

By the time he returned to the cave and started to light the fire, Bai had already brought back the packed prey, the ones that should be cleaned had been cleaned, the ones that should be peeled had been skinned, and the inedible parts had been thrown far outside by him, so that they would not be attacked. predator.

Li Shizhen built a simple fence-like gate outside the entrance of the cave with the branches he picked up. After all, even though large animals cannot come, it is inevitable that some small carnivores will touch it?It's safer to have a shelter.

There was only a bamboo pot left in their cooking utensils, so Li Shizhen used the water in the bamboo tube he carried with him to boil a small cup of soup in the bamboo pot and roast some meat. The two finally had a delicious hot meal. Food.

After tidying up, the two simply made a bed with dry grass and branches, and the animal skins were laid together.The two of them washed up with fresh water and were ready to fall asleep.It's rare that Li Shizhen didn't intend to work before going to bed.

After all, the cave near the waterfall is gloomy and cold. Even if a bonfire is lit at night, the two of them lie down next to each other to fall asleep.

Feeling the warm body temperature around him, Li Shizhen turned over a little uncomfortably. After all, in the modern era, people always keep a certain distance between each other, and even close family members will leave each other alone. space.

When Jianbai was still in tiger form, he didn't seem to feel much about those intimate habits. Could it be that this guy has too much sense of existence after becoming a human form?

However, after several days of traveling and trekking, it was hard for him to relax his nerves so that he could lie down and have a good rest. No matter how many thoughts were racing through his mind, Li Shizhen soon fell into a deep sleep.

Bai beside him kept his ice-blue eyes open, and the fire reflected in his eyes, like fire dancing on an ancient iceberg. There was a different kind of fierce conflict in the contradiction, which seemed to indicate that the master Inner restlessness.

Bai's vigilance seems to be on vigil, his ice-blue eyes are looking up at the ceiling of the cave, but his gaze seems to have passed through the ceiling to an unknown distance.

Li Shizhen's whispering in the dream brought Bai back to his senses, he turned sideways, and tightened the animal skin on Li Shizhen's body.Bai lowered his head and looked at the female around him. He had gritted his teeth silently and steadfastly endured the hardships these days. Now, he must be tired.

Bai stretched out his hand to gently caress Li Shizhen's face. In the warm firelight, this gentle face seemed to glow with a soft glow in the heart, and the skin under his palm was like warm jade, which made him linger.

Bai's expression suddenly became extremely serious, he pursed the corners of his mouth, as if he had made up his mind, stretched out his arm, and made a movement that he would never do during the day, he locked Li Shizhen in his arms firmly , resting his chin on the top of Li Shizhen's head, feeling the slow and long warm breath of the person in his arms gently brushing against his neck, he also slowly closed his eyes——

Li Shizhen woke up in the midst of screaming and clamoring. He felt that he had not slept so soundly for a long time. There was no dream, no uneasy vigilance in the subconscious, just like what is often done in modern times, he slept soundly.

He turned over and sat up. The bonfire that was supposed to be extinguished seemed to have been fueled again, and there was a "pop" sound from time to time. The bamboo tube opened on the ground was filled with clear water. Li Shizhen rubbed his eyes and yawned. Grab the commonly used animal skin and prepare to wash it with some water.

He wiped his face, rinsed his mouth slightly, and stood on the top of the rock outside the cave to look at this beautiful land. It was early morning, and pterosaurs and countless birds were busy back and forth on the cliff.

Li Shizhen looked closely, and found that there were several small bare heads protruding from the caves on the cliff, and the small heads in some caves seemed to have grown bright feathers, but one thing was the same, these small things were all stretched out. The mouth is chirping toward the outside of the nest, it is really an instant version of waiting to be fed.

The sound of the waterfall is so loud that it can't completely cover the chirping of these young animals. At a young age, you know that crying children have milk and have a bright future.

No wonder all the flying animals are so busy this morning, with so many mouths to feed, Alexander's.Li Shizhen silently cast a look of admiration, raising a family has always been a laborious task.

Those swift or stretched figures hunted in different directions according to their own recipes. Li Shizhen saw a big bird with vermilion feathers skimming low over the water, and when its claws stretched out of the water, it was already firmly grasped. A big fish that struggles endlessly.

Moreover, it seems that the areas where different races live are not the same?Most of the high places are some raptors and relatively large pterosaurs, but I am afraid that the pterosaurs with stronger fighting power that Li Shizhen saw last time did not build their nests here.

So from top to bottom, is the rich area to the slums?Li Zhi was silent. Strictly speaking, the natural world has stricter hierarchical requirements than human society, and the food chain naturally determines their order.

On the other hand, this order is very fair. It is based on strength and aims at survival, without the exaggeration and complexity of human society.Even the creatures of the pyramid, once injured and old, will fall to the bottom of the pyramid and become the prey of other creatures, cruel and ruthless but fair.

On the other hand, this order takes into account the survival and evolution of species, the integrity of the ecological cycle, and the perfection of the entire environment.

The order of human society is mixed with too many complicated considerations. Reason, emotion, morality, customs, and many other interests are intertwined, which makes people dizzy just thinking about it.

Compared with the incomparably great scenery in front of us, the complex order constructed by human beings is sophisticated but lacking in pettiness. It is no wonder that human beings always feel their own insignificance in front of nature.

Li Shizhen cast his eyes on the grass by the river bank again. In the morning, many animals were drinking and eating. He actually saw an ankylosaurus. This kind of creature covered with hard bone armor is simply a miracle in evolution. As an armored vehicle among creatures, few predators are willing to spend their energy to challenge the Ankylosaurus.

So although it lost the advantage of moving speed due to its heavy defense, it has been multiplying.

A young predator seemed to want to challenge this strange-looking animal. It was too far away, and the juvenile body was difficult to distinguish. Li Shizhen didn't know what kind of dinosaur it was.

It jumped up and down on the Ankylosaurus, as if trying to figure out where to start its mouth. It jumped off the Ankylosaurus, as if attracted by the bone ball at the end of its tail, tentatively wanting to attack.

The tail flicked, but the little dinosaur didn't bite. It was about to go forward and try again, but the tail suddenly accelerated and swung towards it. The weight of the joints and the lethality of the bone ball made the little dinosaur fly in the air. After a long distance, he fell heavily on the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.

Li Shizhen looked straight up. It seems that even the highly ordered nature cannot prevent the appearance of creatures like Erhuo.

When he turned his head, Bai didn't know when he was standing quietly behind him, silently looking at the Ankylosaurus on the grass with him.

A group of figures with long necks appeared on the opposite bank again. Li Shizhen waved his hand, but he didn't know if Miss Brachiosaurus could see it, or Bai gave a long roar, and Miss Brachiosaurus replied with a clear cry.

Is this good morning?

For some reason, Li Shizhen suddenly remembered his friends who had gone to foreign countries. Although they were in different places and could not be contacted, but in the high-tech era, as long as they wanted to maintain a relationship, there was always an Internet and a channel to greet and chat as usual.

However, what often fades first is the inner emotions of human beings, not because of the distance, but because of the alienation that arises between each other. At first, we will gradually find no topics to talk about, and in the end, we will even feel embarrassed because of this connection, and then we will lose touch with each other. There was no news.

However, in this strange world, regardless of racial segregation, or the distance of time and space, there is such a lovely Miss Brachiosaurus who can remember the two passengers, only because of a few pieces of sweet candy and a piece of goodwill .

Whenever, as long as it can hear your call, it will respond to you without alienation or embarrassment, as if those differences do not exist.Even if he can't really return to Miss Brachiosaurus again, Li Shizhen believes that no matter what he looks like, Miss Brachiosaurus will remember him and greet him.

Such warm and pure emotion, even if it comes from a giant herbivorous dinosaur, will be moving.

He watched the group of Brachiosaurus leave after drinking water, and then jumped off the rock and returned to the cave. Li Shizhen was surprised to find that this tiger had already hunted its prey, finished processing, and collected fresh fruits and vegetables!

Thinking about the bonfire lit in the morning and the fresh water prepared, Li Shizhen was a little embarrassed. He seemed to be too loose because of the beautiful environment in front of him. He slept deeply yesterday and woke up late today. He even forgot to go Carrying out daily work, it is reduced to the point where tigers are required to complete these tasks.

It turned out that when we were in the jungle, this big cat was lazily doing nothing, bargaining for help when needed.

Bai Bai glanced at the slightly blushing Li Shizhen suspiciously:?

Li Shizhen smiled slightly, not embarrassed to speak, and started to prepare breakfast neatly, silently deciding to regain the original rhythm of life, after all, he was going to stay here for a while, and everything that should be prepared had to be prepared.

So the white tiger after breakfast found that the female started to take out the long-lost Ye Ziben again: ...

However, at this moment, Li Shizhen would discuss with Baihu while writing and scribbling, and then decide what to do. He didn't realize that at this moment, Bai's opinion was already a very important reference for him, and he gradually began to Relying on the big cat sitting cross-legged lazily beside him.

Li Shizhen's expression is very serious. After all, crossing the river is a big problem, and there are still a large amount of supplies on Brachiosaurus, especially salt. Thank God if they can get them, and they can even continue to collect new supplies and put them on Brachiosaurus Miss.Even if you find that this land is not very suitable for settlement in the future, when you want to return to the original jungle, you can continue to bind Miss Brachiosaurus just like when you set off when you came.

Baihu's expression was very lazy and relaxed, as if a certain tension that had been intentionally recently relaxed gradually, and it seemed that the entanglement that started at a certain moment was unraveled imperceptibly, and he regained some of the loose expression of the big cat before. However, On top of this charismatic face, even the languid sitter has a different kind of chic.

From Li Shizhen's point of view, this big cat's posture is more calm, and he can't help wondering secretly, and he doesn't know what he figured out, this guy seems to be more mature again.

Looking at the twilight outside the cave entrance, several colors flying by, Li Shizhen, who was distracted, suddenly had a flash of inspiration, hey, it seems that crossing the river is not impossible.

The author has something to say: Well, don't worry if you don't see Miss Brachiosaurus, they probably won't be able to meet up, so watch out!

But there is Miss Brachiosaurus at the end of the outline, and after the next reunion, they should not be separated. She is an important member, and then the worries about the tribe and settlement, well, take it slowly, it should unfold.
