Chapter 888: Crossing the Tianhe River
A thin black line appeared from the horizon. It was inconspicuous at first, as if a black line had been used to outline the outline between the sky and the earth. The whole world suddenly became clear, with clear boundaries like a sketch.
But then the black thin line began to thicken continuously. The thin line pen did not stop there. It applied and deepened the same place repeatedly.
The entire river surface trembled slightly, and the water waves around the raft spread out in circles, rippling continuously.
【What B movement】
【What happened】
[It’s an earthquake, it’s an earthquake, hurry up! 】
[Hold your head, it looks like a herd of beasts is coming. It doesn’t seem to be very close, so there shouldn’t be any danger]
[Fang Shen: A herd of beasts? Watch me kill him seven times in and seven out! 】
"Whoosh, whoosh."
The sound of water continued one after another, and the crocodiles emerged from the tall grass on the bank one after another, sliding into the river with four claws, splashing a little water, like a pot of black dumplings.
The semi-annual feast is here!
"It's the Great Migration again."
With such a scene and phenomenon, Bi Fang could tell at a glance that another migratory animal was approaching.
I just don’t know what will come this time, a zebra, a wildebeest, or a gazelle?
Such a spectacular scale did not make Bi Fang too anxious. The water system at the crossing point he chose was shallow and the flow rate was not fast. Most animals would choose to cross the river here.
We come here twice a year, and a large number of companions have lost their lives here. Forced by life and death crises, the animals are very experienced in choosing the crossing point.
But this group of guys had just appeared on the horizon. They were still a long way from the Tana River, enough for Bifang to reach the shore.
The sound of falling into the water is endless, and the crocodile enters the water very fast. In the blink of an eye, only a tail can be seen, and sometimes not even the tail can be seen.
Before this scene appeared, the audience had no idea that there were so many crocodiles hiding in the grass, and they thought there were only a few.
Harley noticed the strange movement keenly, but at this time it was already more than ten meters away from the shore. Even if its jumping ability was amazing, it would never be able to cross such a chasm without a run-up. It would only fall into the water and become a crocodile's delicacy.
Bi Fang pulled the skewer out of the river mud, moved it slowly forward in the water, and then inserted it again and used the reaction force to push the raft forward.
A large number of crocodiles came up for air, revealing their eyes while bubbles bubbled in a small area of water in front of them. They stared at the raft on the river, motionless.
The ventilation situation at this time is different from the ventilation situation just now. Just now, I was shocked and took a breather, just like a human suddenly noticed that he was breathing, and the brain took over from the brainstem to control the breathing rhythm.
Now it is time to adjust the state, increase the blood oxygen level, and prepare for hunting.
Slightly speeding up the movement of his hands, Bifang slightly accelerated his speed towards the other side, leaving a wave of water behind him.
After crossing more than half of the river, the "dead trees" in the entire river have become quite sparse, as if the scene just spread all over was an illusion.
The migrating tribe finally revealed its true form.
"Wildebeest, it's a herd of wildebeest!"
Bi Fang turned around and saw the pair of iconic corners at a glance.
Wildebeest is one of the most numerous herbivores in the entire African savannah. The annual migration can reach a terrifying 1.5 million!
This group of guys, whose name looks like horses but are actually antelopes, are the most arrogant force on the entire grassland.
As the wildebeest gets closer, its image becomes clearer and clearer. Its facial lines are as three-dimensional as sculptures, its body is rough and huge, and its limbs are strong and powerful.
"The face is like a horse, the appearance is like a cow, and it has long curved horns like a cow, like a horse with horns. It has the head of a cow and the face of a horse, so it is named wildebeest."
With the pole in his hand pressed against the bottom of the river, the raft easily passed over a very large crocodile that was over four meters long.
A large number of crocodiles are approaching in your direction. It is impossible to cross the river directly. You have to find a suitable place to go ashore. Otherwise, you will be surrounded by crocodiles when you get to the shore, and you may still be attacked.
It is not necessarily dangerous to deal with the crocodile alone, but if you wait for a while and catch up with the wildebeest group to cross the river, you will be in big trouble in the chaos.
For this reason, Bifang had to change the direction of the straight line and move towards the upper right, which was a small open space.
After about five or six minutes, Bifang finally reached the other side of the river with the raft. Before the bow of the boat could reach it, Harley, who had been patient for a long time, jumped onto the shore. He jumped back and forth, looking extremely excited, and got on by himself. After reaching the shore, he didn't forget to turn around and shout towards Bi Fang.
The raft hit the shore lightly, arching up a small patch of grass.
Harley ran back, lowered his head and bit the rope on the raft and pulled back, but unfortunately his strength was too weak to have any effect.
There were crocodiles in the river, and the fast wildebeests had already arrived at the river, looking for a suitable ferry. Bi Fang did not dare to delay, untied the rope around his waist, grabbed the end of the rope and jumped to the shore, and finally pulled Take the raft ashore.
Bi Fang reached the other side, and so did the wildebeests, and their numbers continued to increase.
Looking across a river, the wildebeest army is densely packed and intimidating. The hair of the leaders at the front is flowing, glowing with a faint golden yellow in the sun, shining brilliantly.
Behind these blond wildebeests are more grey, black and brown groups, which is surprising.
Upon seeing this, Bi Fang explained: "The color of wildebeest's fur is not uniform and will change depending on the age of the young and old, just like when we humans get older, many people's hair will become pale."
"But when wildebeests get old, the color of their hair changes differently from that of humans. We turn white, they turn yellow, or even golden, while young wildebeests are usually gray-brown all over, with snouts and snouts. The limbs are black, with a feeling of brilliance after passing through the years.”
"Older wildebeest are more experienced and have a higher say in choosing where to cross the river. In other words, they are the leaders and need to lead the group across the river."
【Cool, it turns golden! 】
【Six, I want this too】
[I want to dye this thing yellow]
【Chicken shit yellow】
Underneath the adult wildebeests, one can vaguely notice that there are a large number of young wildebeests mixed in this huge group.
The young wildebeest was squeezed by the adult wildebeest and fell back and forth, swaying unsteadily, adding a tense and uneasy atmosphere to the whole scene.
"Each migration, the number of little wildebeest can reach an astonishing quarter, but they are small in size. Now they are surrounded by the big wildebeest, so we don't feel it is very obvious."
The drone flew to a high altitude and took a clearer picture of the population ratio of the entire wildebeest group. Just a cursory look showed that a large part of the wildebeest were significantly smaller.
Due to the arrival of the wildebeest group, most of the crocodiles swam towards the other side. Bifang's side temporarily became a safe zone. He looked around and found a tree of suitable size.
Cheetahs are not good at climbing trees. Fortunately, Harley is not heavy, so Bi Fang directly carried it up and sat on a branch for a better observation.
At this time, the wildebeest had been dawdling on the shore for a long time, and a blond wildebeest finally took the first brave step towards the river in front of him.
