Chapter 2238: How to Cross the River
Zhuque and Xiao Yi explained the current situation. They had arrived here an hour ago, but because of a river in front of them, they blocked everyone's way.
The rapid river water and the depth of more than two meters make it full of dangers to swim directly, not to mention that there are some big man-eating guys standing guard in the water, waiting for prey to come to the door.
"We are all waiting for you to make up your mind when you arrive. Tell me what to do now?"
Xiao Yi stood by the river. The water was indeed very fast. Everyone had been tired all night, and their physical strength could not keep up at this moment.
If we just choose to cross the river, no one can guarantee what will happen next. Suzaku did not make the decision by himself and waited here for news about Xiao Yi.
"In this case, it is indeed very troublesome to forcefully cross the river. It has rained heavily and the water bottom has become much more dangerous due to the erosion of the current. I will think of a way to cross the river."
"What are you going to do?"
"Everyone has his own way of killing pigs and butts. Just watch from the side."
Xiao Yi said confidently. Suzaku rolled his eyes at Xiao Yi. What's the big deal? Why should he keep it secret here?
He ordered Xu Qiang to take the rest first and find two people with stronger physical strength to go out with Xiao Yi. There was something that required them to participate together.
After several thigh-thick trees were chopped, the lower ends were sharpened with sharp knives, and then all these materials were prepared so that they could be put to use later.
"You two come here and drive the stakes into the soil. Remember that you must hit this position before you stop."
Xiao Yi signaled to everyone, and the two people followed Xiao Yi's instructions and quickly smashed two thick tree trunks into the soil.
After doing this, Xiao Yi chose the place where the terrain here happened to be higher, while the terrain on the other side of the river had a height difference of nearly three meters.
The ropes carried by the team came in handy at this moment. The rope was firmly tied to one end. Xiao Yi pulled hard a few times to confirm that it would not loosen.
On the side, Suzaku paid attention to what Xiao Yi was doing, and was also guessing in his mind what Xiao Yi was going to do. In the end, looking at this situation, there was only one possibility.
"You...are you planning to run to the other side of the river with this rope?"
"How is it possible? I don't have that much physical strength. Besides, there are ready helpers here, so I don't need to worry at all."
Xiao Yi turned around and looked at the Buffalo King who was grazing leisurely on the side. This big guy had now established a connection with Xiao Yi. After Xiao Yi shouted, the Buffalo King passed through the herd.
Arriving at the shore not far away, less than half a meter down was the rushing river. Xiao Yi now placed a section of the rope on the Buffalo King's leg.
"Big guy, this time it's up to you. I'll treat your injuries, and you can help me cross the river. We'll be evenly matched."
Xiao Yi patted the horns and said, Suzaku's eyes widened and he looked at this scene curiously, feeling that Xiao Yi at this moment was completely insane.
"Are you talking to a cow? There is a saying in China called playing the piano to a cow, and you really did that."
"Don't believe me? Just wait and see, these big guys are the real swimming masters."
The Buffalo King made a low sound at this moment, and four or five majestic members came out from the herd. They followed the Buffalo King and escorted him across the river.
Several bison were standing on the shore, and on the other side, where the water was relatively gentle, there were more than a dozen black shadows in the water, lurking under the water, waiting for the opportunity for prey to arrive.
Suzaku stood there stupidly, looking at the leader of the bison, as if he understood Xiao Yi's words, and began to prepare to cross the river. At this moment, Xiao Yi patted Suzaku on the shoulder and said.
"Why are you still watching here? Cover this big guy across the river and drive away all the crocodiles over there!"
"Oh...I know, you...forget it, I'd better do my job."
He took out a pistol from his body and installed the silencer. Then Suzaku stood by the river and aimed at the black shadows in the river.
After firing several shots, the originally calm shore changed. Crocodiles of various sizes rolled out of the water one after another, looking for a place to hide.
Creatures like crocodiles are born with rough skin and thick flesh. The outer layer is like armor. After a few shots, it only damaged the fur.
The result that Suzaku wanted was for the crocodile to leave here obediently. After using up four magazines in a row, there was no trace of the crocodile in the river.
Blood flowers appeared on the water. As they continued to spread, the crocodiles left the other side and the bison could begin to cross the river.
The bison leader was the first to jump into the water, followed closely by the other members, who also jumped into the river, following on both sides of the bison leader.
Although these big guys weighing three to four hundred kilograms are very bulky, they have developed superb skills by living here for many years. With this height, crossing the river becomes very simple.
The six bison quickly passed through the water, and it took less than a minute for the sleeping surface to be more than ten meters wide. After reaching the shore, the bison leader climbed up.
"This is really amazing. It's the first time I've seen someone tame an African buffalo!"
Lenny was surprised and said that last night he thought Xiao Yi was arrogant and dared to lead a group of them through this jungle.
After seeing Xiao Yi's true ability, he finally realized that they were the burden. Without them, Xiao Yi would not have any problems.
After the leader of the bison came ashore, he dragged the rope and kept walking forward until the rope turned into a straight line. A rope connected the two sides of the river.
The huge brute force can ensure that the rope can be stretched straight. Xiao Yi stood high and tested it with his hands. There was no problem with the rope and he could pass through.
"Give me a stake!"
Xiao Yi picked up the cut wooden stake and jumped down, standing firmly on the rope with his two feet.
After his body calmed down, he walked towards the other side. Walking on such a rope, Xiao Yi felt as if he was walking on flat ground.
Passing quickly, the bison leader has been acting as a support point to support Xiao Yi's weight. After Xiao Yi arrived at the shore smoothly, Xiao Yi patted the horns.
"Thank you for your hard work. Your mission is accomplished."
The bison leader nodded, and then led his members back there again. Xiao Yi tied the rope firmly to the wooden stake.
