Song Xu unexpectedly became a squirrel beastman in an ancient jungle. Her small tribe was conquered and merged with a fierce beast tribe, and Song Xu escaped alone into a dark forest. A snake half-...
The big ship floating in the water sank halfway after the tiger jumped on it, and the whole ship looked particularly "stable".
The groove was made according to the tiger's body shape, but after all, the area was limited and it was made just right. When the tiger jumped on it, it was like a big cat in a cardboard box, full, with a little overflow on both sides of its belly, and the same with its hair.
"Mom, come down quickly, we are not ready yet, we won't set sail before the time!"
After Song Xu called out repeatedly, the big tiger reluctantly stood up from the boat, jumped back to the shore and shook her hair.
When Song Xu and Wu Mu were building a boat together, the big tiger would occasionally come over to watch out of curiosity. She was not interested in other things, but she cared about shipbuilding. Every day when she lay on the reef, she didn't look at the island in the distance, but watched them build the ship instead.
The big tiger has been getting more and more calm and serious recently. Occasionally, Song Xu looks at her two big amber-gold eyes and feels that she is very different from the ferocious big tiger he just saw. The eyes that looked at everything as if they were prey and were full of hostility have lost their wildness and a humanized light has appeared. When
Song Xu saw her eyes like that, he suspected that she might have remembered that she was a beastman, but her behavior showed that she had not remembered it yet. After all, until now she still firmly believed that the squirrel was her own cub, so it didn't look like she had remembered it.
The most difficult preparations have been made, and the next step is to store some miscellaneous food, fresh water and tools. Mainly food for Song Xu, the food for the other two can be caught fresh in the sea. Fresh water is especially important. Song Xu used fruit shells and wooden barrels he made to hold a lot of fresh water. He also brought various homemade tools, which filled another small groove made by Song Xu and all the open spaces on the boat where he could stand.
Of course, Wumu couldn't cling to the mast as the squirrel joked before. He...had to be responsible for pushing the boat in the water.
There was no way. The big tiger obviously had a shadow on the deep sea, so it was not realistic for her to go to the sea. The little squirrel could go to the sea but her body was too small to push the boat, so Wumu had to do it.
"These preparations should be enough." Song Xu said, climbing onto the big tiger's back and commanding, "Let's go!"
The weather was good today, the sea was not windy and rough, the sun was bright, and the visibility of the sea was high.
After Wu Mu pushed the boat out from under the boat, she no longer needed much strength, because the buoyancy of the water and the wind direction were suitable, allowing the boat to drift slowly forward along the current.
The excitement only boiled over not long after the departure. As the boat left the coast and sailed deeper into the ocean, the feeling of being far away from the land made people gradually become a little scared.
The big tiger became anxious, but the space on the boat was small, and she couldn't run wildly on the beach like she did in the past. She could only let out a low roar.
"Pah." Song Xu covered the big tiger's eyes with two huge leaves, "Come on, put on the eye mask and go to sleep."
The tiger didn't sleep, but the two leaves covering her eyes made her look a little better, and she lay on her front paws without moving.
Song Xu was too sunburned to bear the sun. He quickly climbed off the Dajin gradient blanket, jumped into the sea, and swam to Wumu's side under the boat.
Wumu was in a beastly state. He had caught so many fish that he had completely turned into a "sea snake" and was very skilled at swimming in the sea water.
Below was the seabed whose color gradually darkened, and above was the clear green water surface. Song Xu floated beside the snake, swam for a while, and then floated up again, holding the empty fruit shell tied to the side of the raft, and breathing on it. It
was calm at noon, and without the help of wind and waves, pushing the boat became a little difficult. The snake was also tired and swam to the boat to rest.
He leaned half of his body on the boat, with his tail immersed in the sea water. Seeing him leaning like this, the big tiger stretched out his claws and pulled him over to rub it. Wumu dodged the thick claws and climbed onto the mast.
Song Xu made this mast after much hesitation. The main purpose was certainly not to let Wu Mu entangle her, but to prepare a sail.
The material was the wings of a certain primitive beast, and the two pieces together could just make a sail that looked like a real thing. After testing that the wings of this primitive beast would not rot quickly after being removed but would slowly dry up and become thinner and tougher, she decided to use it to make a sail.
Now the sail is still lying underneath and has not been installed because the wind is not strong now and it is not needed. Moreover, the wind direction is not right. In this wind direction, if the sail is installed, the boat they just left the seaside will be blown back directly by the wind.
The boat was parked in the sea. Looking from above, the orange color on the big tiger's body was as conspicuous as a light bulb in the blue and green sea water.
The squirrel was so hot that it floated in the sea holding an empty fruit shell for a nap. After she fell asleep, she unconsciously loosened her grip and the whole squirrel gradually moved away from the boat. By the time Wumu found her, she was almost drifting away.
Sheshe had no choice but to climb down from the mast again, go into the sea, hook the sleeping squirrel back with her tail, and roll it back to the boat.
The big tiger, who couldn't catch a long cub, was bored and held the sleeping fur cub under his claws. But before she could play with it for a few seconds, a snake's tail reached out, snatched the fur cub away, and took the squirrel to rest on the mast.
The big tiger, who usually liked to quarrel and fight with Sheshe, just glanced at him this time and closed his eyes to sleep. He was very tolerant, unlike the big tiger usually.
When Song Xu woke up, he naturally found himself tied to the mast by a snake's tail, with only his head exposed, like a hostage on a pirate ship.
Life at sea is so boring, except for playing with water and snakes.
The wind started in the afternoon, and Song Xu finally installed two sails. Ebony could also be a little more relaxed, and only helped to change the direction when the boat yawed a little. Song Xu was responsible for observing the wind direction. Once the wind direction was wrong, the sail had to be removed, otherwise the boat would yaw by a huge distance.
It was sunny during the day and the starry sky was bright at night. Looking at the stars at sea seemed to be more beautiful than looking at them anywhere else.
During this journey, Song Xu had seen stars in countless places. On the wide grassland, in the deep valley, on the high cliff, on the edge of the desolate desert, on the top of the dense forest tree... each has its own characteristics, but in the ocean, the starry sky above is reflected on the calm sea surface. No matter above or below, it seems to have become a sea of stars, and they are wrapped in countless stars.
Song Xu stretched her feet into the sea water and swayed gently. She nagged the big snake around the boat: "Wumu, do you want to go on an exciting night cruise in the sea?"
Wumu heard: "Wumu, get up quickly, I want to go on a night cruise in the sea."
The snake's tail rolled into the squirrel with shining eyes and rolled into the sea.
Not long after, the squirrel climbed onto the boat and said that he would never go on a night cruise in the sea again. It was not fun at all. It was pitch black everywhere, and she couldn't see clearly. It seemed that there were chaotic shadows swimming below. Something lightly brushed against her body, making her hair stand on end. Once in the water, she couldn't even find the snake.
The squirrel, who was very smart, curled up obediently on the boat, leaning against the furry tiger who was snoring softly. She felt like she was lying in bed with a quilt on her head, and finally felt safe.
The big snake also emerged from the sea. In his current half-orc form, scales have grown to his eyes and are covering his forehead. His eyes are gradually becoming more snake-like. The only white parts of his body are his eyes and a little bit of skin on top. His hair is covered and spread out. He looks particularly weird. This sudden emergence from the dark sea water can scare the most timid children.
This sea demon stretched out his stiff hands and touched the squirrel hiding under the tiger's belly. He asked her with actions why she didn't want to play and suddenly came up.
Of course, the squirrel couldn't admit that she was afraid of the sea at night, and yawned artificially: "Ah, I'm sleepy, let's play tomorrow, hahaha." This method has been tried and tested.
Wu Mu took her out and rolled her to sleep. Song Xu thought that what he did was becoming more and more aboveboard. In the past, he had to wait until she fell asleep before he would move her to his side to sleep, but now he didn't follow the procedure at
all. Sheshe still hadn't lost her mind, but she had changed. In the past, Song Xu would sleep wherever she liked, but now she often woke up to find that she had changed her place and was entangled by the snake and couldn't move.
In response to this, Song Xu said: It's not a big problem, it's just a little bit entangled, at least it can still recognize people.
During the hottest time of the day, Song Xu drank water and fed water to Sheshe and Tiger. She looked at the remaining clean water and the destination in the distance, and felt a little uneasy.
The destination she set was the small island in the sea that the big tiger often looked at. Since Heisen cared so much about it, it must be a special place, which was very suitable as the first stop of their voyage. According to Song Xu's observation, the island should not be very far from the seashore, and the boat she built and the food she prepared should be able to successfully reach there.
However, after two days at sea, Song Xu found that the island still looked so far away.
"It shouldn't be a mirage, right?" If so, it would be bad.
Wu Mu was catching fish in the sea, and it was time for the big tiger to eat. Only when eating would the big tiger stand up from his seat, stick his head out over the side of the boat, and bite the big fish that Wu Mu brought up. Fish cannot be
grilled on the boat. Song Xu was worried at first that Heisen didn't like to eat raw fish. Who knew that she adapted well. Although she was visibly afraid of the ocean, she was very cooperative in other aspects. Song Xu often wondered if she had recovered some of her sanity.
On the third day at sea, Song Xu felt that the shape of the island seemed to be a little bigger. This was exciting news, although she was the only one who was excited.
Wu Mu was still pushing the boat diligently, indifferent to the news. To him, what he was doing now was no different from the countless times he had promised the squirrel where to go to play. It didn't matter whether he could reach the island or not, as long as he did what the squirrel wanted to do, she would be happy.
Heisen was still dozing with his eyes closed, and only moved his ears.
Suddenly, the dozing big tiger stood up, her eyes widened, and she suddenly roared towards the sea. Her tail hit Wu Mu who was lying in the water, urging him to come up.
Her look of facing a powerful enemy made Song Xu realize something. She climbed up the mast and looked down, and found a shadow under the hull. Something came under their boat!
Just like encountering a big wave, their boat was bumped by the thing below. In connection with the tiger's reaction, Song Xu had reason to suspect that her boat might have been broken apart by this thing when she went out to sea before.
The big snake that was flicked by the tiger's tail did not obediently return to the boat. He glanced at the big and small on the boat and dived directly into the water. Before he entered the water, Song Xu heard the angry hiss of the snake for a long time.
Being the little sweetheart of the squirrel and the tiger for a long time, she almost forgot that the snake was a violent and poisonous snake.
