Super Chief

After acquiring this body in this life, Shi Xiong found that his sense of direction had become particularly sensitive. This is worthy of the sentence, when God closes one door for you, he will inevitably open another window for you.

The silly brain is not good, but God gave him an enviable and even frightening body and an excellent sense of direction.

Don’t underestimate this sense of direction. In this new world of North America, having an excellent sense of direction means that you can enter the wilderness or mountains without getting lost. This is a necessary quality for a good hunter.

The stone bear now has exactly this quality, and the lynx beside him also has this quality.

Therefore, even if two people shuttle through the dense forest in the mountains in the dim evening, they can still keep their direction well.

It took about an hour before the stone bear and the lynx came to a cliff just after night fell.

You can't see anything in the dark below, but you can clearly hear the sound of flowing water hitting the rock wall, and the sound is loud. Obviously, under this cliff is a big river with a lot of flow.

And at the foot of the mountain to the west, you can see a lot of bright bonfires, which also means that a large number of people are stationed at the mouth of the valley below the cliff.

"Great Bear, is this river the one leading to Monongahela?" Bobcat asked in a low voice.

In fact, he didn't need to be so careful. It was far from the bonfire at the foot of the mountain. Even if he called out loudly, his voice would be obscured by the huge sound of running water below.

"It should be this river. According to the distance we walked and the direction of the river, it is very likely that the river will flow eastward into Monongahela. Go, Uncle Lynx, let's go down. Don’t you know if you try it?"

Both of them are actionists, and they will act immediately after making a decision.

Shi Xiong found a big tree that was thick enough, then took down the rope on his back, and fastened one end of it to the root of the big tree, and then put the rope on the rope. Thrown into the cliff.

"I'm going down first. I don't know the height of the cliff, so I can't tell whether the rope can reach the bottom of the cliff. Uncle Bobcat, you pay attention to the rope. Once the rope is pulled four times in a row, it means I am at the end. Four times, if I respond to four more pulls, then you can go down the rope. If I don’t pull the rope, you don’t want to come down for the time being. I’ll follow the rope and climb up again."

At this time, the Lynx knew that it was not when he was arguing with the stone bear. He was a must for climbing, but that didn't mean that he could climb up from the bottom along this long rope. That required extremely strong upper body strength. In case this two hundred meters long rope can't reach the end, the Bobcats can't be sure that they can climb up the rope again. If it is hung in the air, it will be completely lively.

Shi Xiong was not vague. He wrapped a few layers of cloth on his hands and yanked the rope vigorously. After feeling that the rope was particularly strong, he grabbed the rope with both hands and began to descend. After a while, his figure disappeared. In the darkness below.

After about a few minutes, the Bobcat felt that the rope passed four regular pulls, so he immediately pulled the rope four times in a rhythm according to the previous agreement. After feeling the rope in his hand tugged four more times, the Bobcat with a smile on his face grabbed the rope with both hands and began to descend.

Lynx estimated that he had fallen more than a hundred meters, and both his arms felt a little sore, and he stepped on the ground under his feet. Then, he felt his body was grabbed by a pair of powerful arms.

"Uncle Lynx, the bottom is not to the bottom, but the bottom is a not steep hill. We should be able to get to the bottom by pulling the rope." The stone bear's voice was much louder, but it was completely covered by the louder sound of water. Presumably the river below is not far away.

It took the two of them about five or six minutes to reach the bottom of this not steep hillside, and a faintly visible river appeared in front of them.

"There is a high possibility that this river will lead to Monongahela!" Lynx said with certainty. Here, his excellent sense of direction also came into play.

The direction of the river can already be determined here, and there is no road on the south bank of the river, where Shi Xiong and the others are standing. Although it was impossible to see if there was a road on the other side of the river because of the darkness, Shixiong knew that the river that flows into Monongahela from the west had a road on the north bank, but there was indeed no road on the south bank.

The two began to untie the skins from their backs.

Since the plan is to drift down the river at night, the best boat is undoubtedly the cowhide raft.

The stone bear once went to the Tibetan area to play once before crossing. In the Yarlung Zangbo River, he once saw the local Tibetans crossing the river with a cowhide raft filled with forage.

The cowhide rafts used by Tibetans are much smaller than the large cowhide rafts used on the Yellow River. There are only four skins under a raft, and some rafts even only have two. Naturally, this kind of raft can't carry too many things or people, but it is very stable, and because the skin is not inflated but filled with some grass material, it is not afraid that the raft will be damaged by hitting the reef with the rapids.

In fact, more than 70 years ago before the stone bear crossed, many large rafts were transported on the Yellow River in the Lanzhou section of the Yellow River, and there was a well-known saying in the local area-"Sheepskin rafts are used as warships." , Potato eggs are boiled in a casserole."

This shows that this kind of raft is a very safe water transportation tool.

The sheepskin rafts are actually similar to the cowhide rafts used by Shixiong. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is just that the rafts carried by Shixiong and Lynx are much smaller, with only four skins, each The size of the bag is about the same as a travel bag, and it weighs only seven or eight catties.

The bobcat carried two of them, and the stone bear carried two of them. Untie these four skin sacs, find a few thicker branches, and tie them together with the skin sacs, then you can go into the water.

Although the sky was dark, the stone bear and the bobcat couldn't help but survive. It didn't take long for the two to find a suitable branch, and then quickly tied a raft.

Of course, before going into the water, the two of them each held a longer and thicker branch in their hands, with the thickness of their arms. These two branches are used as poles.

After all, it is going down the river. Although the raft is not afraid of hitting, you can't just watch the raft hit the rock, so the necessary brace is still necessary.

The stone bear got into the water, and the water on the shore did not pass his thighs, but he stood steady and put the assembled raft into the water with both hands. After the bobcat got on the raft, he turned over. Up the raft. Then with a support pole, the raft left the shore and was pushed by the swift river water to quickly drift downstream...
