"However, Brother Guan, your giant tiger is indeed majestic... mighty... no wonder we feel scared after seeing it." At this moment, Di Liang asked with a spear on his shoulder: "Listen What you mean is that you plan to keep heading north, right?"
Seeing Guan Heng and the others nodding their heads, Di Liang continued: "If that's the case, not far from our village is the Shijian Mountain that leads to the territory of the Bainan tribe, one of the six major tribes in the north of Chongguo. If If you want to go there, you have to pass through our village, so how about you come back to the village with me and stay overnight tonight?"
Guan Heng nodded quickly and said with a smile: "That's very good. We are just trying to disturb you, so I would like to thank Brother Di for your kindness."
The group of hunters saw that the ghost-eating tiger seemed to be very docile, and the giant tiger was also accompanied by two weird guys, the elephant snake bird and the sharp-billed mountain ray, which made everyone very happy, so they all felt confident and bold. Follow around. In this way, Guan Heng and his party moved forward together with Di Liang, and their goal was Sangzhu Village, a residential settlement in the mountains ahead.
Di Liang and Guan Heng were walking and chatting along the way. He thought that he would lead the way and that everyone could quickly return to Sangzhu Village by taking a shortcut. However, halfway through, they encountered some small problems. That was because a river in front of them suddenly The water is rising.
"Huh? It's really strange. The water level of this Mengzi River usually only rises at the end of autumn every year. Why does it rise several months earlier this year?" Di Liang looked at the river bank in front of him at this time, and then said with a gloomy face: "It seems that the water level will rise in the end of autumn every year." The wooden bridge on the river has been completely washed away and swept away. If we don't go this way, we will have to take a day's detour to return to Sangzhu Village, which will waste too much time."
"So that's it, that's really bad." Guan Heng scratched his head and looked at the helpless hunters behind him. Just when he was about to say that he would come up with a solution, Shang Tianlin suddenly shouted: "Hey , Brother Guan, look at what’s in the water.”
Looking along the direction of Shang Tianlin's finger, Guan Hengdou suddenly saw a huge beast corpse floating on the water. The body and face turned pale by the river water looked extremely terrifying and disgusting. Guan Heng saw that there seemed to be something foreign on the bison-like beast. When he got closer, he discovered that there was something black nailed to it.
"Hey, snake-like bird, bring that thing over and let me see it." Hearing Guan Heng's words, the snake-like bird suddenly fluttered its wings and fluttered its feathers and flew away from the water. It was on the floating corpse of the monster beast. After stopping for a while, he pecked and dug with his sharp beak and claws for a while, and finally flew back to the shore with the dark thing in his mouth.
"It turns out it's just a rotten piece of wood. It's nothing." After taking a look, Shang Tianlin covered her nose and frowned and said, "And there's a rancid smell, so throw it away quickly!"
"Wait a minute, there's something different on it." Guan Heng stretched out his fingers to pick up the broken wood and looked at it carefully. He said, "There are several scratch marks on the broken wood. Look at this." It looks like something... similar to the paw prints left by a giant tiger."
Agou next to him reached out to take the wood and looked at it carefully. He nodded and said, "I'm sure these are the claw marks left by some kind of demon tiger. It can't be wrong."
Hearing Agou's words, all the hunters present, including Di Liang, were shocked. Di Liang said anxiously: "About twenty miles away from the river bank is Sangzhu Village. Could it be that Say, this is the activity range of the troll tiger?!"
"Oh no, no, no, my wife and children are still in the village. I don't know what happened to them." "My parents have difficulty moving. I have been worried for the past five days since we came out. I really want to return to Sangzhu Village as soon as possible." "
At this time, Guan Heng heard the anxious discussions of the hunters, so he raised his voice and said: "Don't worry, everyone. After you have seen this river, you can go home. According to my opinion, there is no need to take a detour. All it takes is everyone working together to build a bridge.”
"But... we only have spears and hunting forks on us, and we don't have axes that can cut wood or anything like that." At this moment, Di Liang scratched his head and said with some worry: "The nearby jungles and riverbanks have , they are all towering ancient trees as thick as one arm, how can we cut them down?"
"It doesn't take much effort to knock down a tree!" As soon as Agou said those words, he rushed to a giant tree. He raised his fist and hit the wind three times with "bang bang bang". , only to hear a harsh cracking sound, the ancient tree suddenly fell down in front of Agou, causing countless noises.
"Wow, that's amazing." Hunter Ma from Sangzhu Village was stunned when he saw Agou folding his fists and hugging the thick ancient tree.
Guan Heng, however, said with a nonchalant expression: "Did you see that? During our journey, our group used this method to open roads in the mountains and build bridges when encountering water. It is also very simple."
Hearing this, Di Liang put his tongue that was hanging out of his lips out of surprise and rubbed it back into his mouth. He hesitated and said: "Brother Guan, how can ordinary people like us do something that seems simple and ordinary to you?" Can you do it?"
"Hahaha, then I won't talk nonsense." Taking a look at the width of the river, Guan Heng asked with a smile: "Brother Di Liang, do you still need to knock down a few trees to build the bridge?"
"Well... in my opinion, with four more ancient trees of the same thickness and length, we should be able to build a wooden bridge for all of us to cross safely." Di Liang was gearing up at this time, facing the hunter behind him They said: "Hey, don't just look at it. Who was complaining just now that he couldn't get home in time? Why don't you hurry up and help build a bridge!"
"Yes, yes, everyone, let's do it together." Everyone immediately rolled up their arms and sleeves and started working enthusiastically. They all knew that without Guan Heng and Agou accompanying them, how could they possibly cross the river? So they all work harder and harder.
A short while later, a new solid wooden bridge was built on the shallows of the river bank. Seeing the increasingly rapid river water continuing to flow in, Di Liang quickly waved and shouted: "Everyone, the water is going to rise again soon. Let's cross the river quickly." Well, if we hesitate even a little bit, this place will be flooded soon."
Guan Heng stood on the river bank and said to his companions: "Ruotao, you and Tianlin, Agou, Tunguihu and others quickly follow Di Liang across the river." Ruotao asked inexplicably: "Hey, Master What are you going to do? Not cross the river with us?"
"I want to take another look at the floating corpse of the monster in the river." Guan Heng said at this time: "I don't know why, but I feel familiar with that guy. You can cross the river first, and I will follow you. "
