After saying that, he put his face on Xuan's back, his eyes began to empty and his thoughts began to drift away.
Sensing his movements, Xuan paused, looked back, and said jokingly, "If I take you to the Shuilin Tribe, you will definitely not be used to it. There is water everywhere there."
"Haha, aren't you guys used to it too? And you're still blaming me."
After being interrupted by Xuan, Meng Yuqing also came out of his previous mood. He shook his head and stopped thinking about these things. Instead of feeling sad, he might as well do something practical and work on upgrading the system.
After all, going back is not something you can do by indulging in these emotions.
When they were about to walk out of the jungle, Meng Yuqing could already hear the sound of flowing water. He rubbed his nose gently and watched Xuan walk forward step by step.
Suddenly, the view in front of me became clear and the jungle was left behind.
A river so wide that the other side is almost invisible seems to be flowing out of the clouds.
It was clearly just a river, but the waves rushed towards the shore like a tidal wave.
It was as if the Milky Way in the sky was pouring down, and the raging waves inside were shocking.
Sitting on Xuan's back, Meng Yuqing looked at the scenery in front of him in amazement, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
He suddenly understood why the poet could not help but write a poem every time he saw the mother river, unable to contain the burst of emotions in his heart.
If my literary literacy was not really at that level, I would probably have been unable to resist writing a poem on the spot.
He stared blankly for a long time, and Xuan seemed to know what he was thinking, so he stopped.
"Are there any edible fish in this river?" Meng Yuqing licked his lips after regaining his composure.
In the tribe, everyone eats things that run on the ground, and occasionally eats things that fly in the sky, but he has never seen anything that swims in the water in all his time here.
"Fish? Do you mean the wild animals that live in the water? There are a lot of them, but it's hard for our tribe's beast forms to catch them. The sub-beasts in the tribe also say they're not tasty. However, the Water Forest Tribe eats a lot of them, and some of our tribe's orcs think they're pretty good."
As he spoke, Xuan took Meng Yuqing to the riverside, and the water reflected the shadows of the two people.
Meng Yuqing looked into the river. The water was much clearer than the water in his original world, but not as clear as a stream.
He crawled gently on Xuan's back and adjusted his position so that he could see more clearly.
"Be careful, don't fall. It's very dangerous. I can't protect you in the water." Xuan immediately took a few steps back and took Meng Yuqing away from the water.
Hearing Xuan say this, Meng Yuqing did not insist on getting closer. He returned to his original position and sat up straight, tightly grasping the long hair on Xuan's back with both hands, stretching his neck to look at the river.
Suddenly, Xuan raised his front paws and stepped back. His muscles were tense, and he kept making threatening growls from his throat, staring at the river without blinking.
Meng Yuqing was startled by his sudden action and immediately lay down and pressed her body tightly against his back.
There was only a splash, and Meng Yuqing looked up at the water.
He opened his eyes slightly. The originally clear water had become turbid, and yellow mud was spreading in the water.
Under the cover of mud and water, a huge black shadow was looming in the water.
Xuan stared at the black shadow, motionless.
The black shadow did not leave, but continued to swim back and forth, occasionally poking its mouth out of the water.
The turbidity gradually faded away, and the water surface returned to its original clarity. Only then did Meng Yuqing see clearly what had been circling in the water.
A giant black fish nearly eight meters long.
The scales on its body glowed coldly and looked very hard. It would flick its tail from time to time, stirring up the mud at the bottom of the water.
In the mouth that occasionally opened and closed due to breathing, there were rows of small and sharp teeth that curved inward. It was obvious that this was not a vegetarian beast.
The giant fish was confronting Xuan on the shore in the water, and from time to time it looked at Meng Yuqing on Xuan's back.
Seeing this, Meng Yuqing frowned and patted Xuan's back gently, "Don't pay attention to it, let's stay away from the river, I won't watch it anymore."
Xuan's body stiffened slightly. He didn't say anything, his eyes still fixed on the giant fish, and he slowly backed away.
Seeing that the two of them were about to leave, the giant fish swung its tail hard, splashing huge water. It opened its mouth towards Xuan, revealing a mouthful of teeth. Meng Yuqing actually saw provocation in the eyes of the fish.
I secretly thought that something was wrong.
As expected, the giant fish's movement caused Xuan to stop his retreat instantly, and a low growl came from his throat, seemingly mixed with anger.
"Ignore it, it did it on purpose. We won't argue with such an unintelligent beast."
As he spoke, Meng Yuqing reached out and gently stroked Xuan's back, smoothing his fur.
"I'm hungry, let's go eat something."
Meng Yuqing's words comforted Xuan. He quickly took a few steps back, turned around and ran away.
Only to hear the sound of splashing in the water again. Meng Yuqing looked back and saw that the water surface was turbid again and the giant fish had disappeared.
After that, Xuan didn't speak until he went to bed at night.
Meng Yuqing rubbed his forehead helplessly. Why did he start to sulk? Was he going to be a caring brother?
Thinking that Xuan is four years younger than me after all, I should give him some guidance.
He stood up and walked over to where Xuan was lying.
"Are you still angry with that stupid fish?" He slowly sat down next to Xuan's front legs, reached out and touched Xuan, the fur felt really good.
Xuan turned his head to look at him, and slightly adjusted his posture to make Meng Yuqing lean more comfortably.
"I'm not afraid of it." His voice was a little aggrieved.
"Well, I know you're not afraid of it, but think about it, that fish is obviously not as strong as you, but it keeps provoking you. Isn't that stupid? We smart people don't bother with it."
Meng Yuqing suppressed her smile and gave Xuan Shunmao a hug.
"It only dares to show off because it's in the water. If it were on the shore, it would definitely run away when it saw you."
Hearing Meng Yuqing's words, Xuan swung his tail. After a long while, he said softly, "Hmm."
"Ignore it."
In fact, if he had encountered such a thing outside alone at other times, he would have left long ago and would not have even given the beast in the water a second glance.
After all, the fish is not strong. Even if it is in the water, you can still catch it if you want to. It’s just a bit troublesome and unnecessary.
But when he thought about the fact that Yu Qing was watching him on his back today, and the fish was actually provoking him in front of Yu Qing, he became very angry.
So much so that when Yu Qing asked him to leave, he was too embarrassed to speak.
Seeing Xuan's awkward look, Meng Yuqing smiled silently, took the animal skin, covered himself with it, and fell asleep leaning against Xuan.
Xuan swung his tail, hesitated for a while, and finally placed his tail gently on Meng Yuqing's body.
Feeling something approaching, Meng Yuqing grabbed it unconsciously.
After holding Xuan's tail in my arms and rubbing it gently, I fell into a more peaceful sleep.
