To go to the place indicated by the knot, Shao Xuan had to cross the river.

Shao Xuan walked along the river for a while, but still couldn't find a place where he could directly crossover.

While clutching Chacha's claws, Shao Xuan saw an animal near the river.

The animal had long, sharp claws like a gibbon's claws. The animal was attracted by the shiny thing on the banks of the river. Suddenly. something from the river shot arrows at the animal on shore.

However, the animal reacted quickly. It stopped its excavation and quickly began to dodge.

Two of the arrows had missed. The fish in the water was a little anxious. The head once hidden under the water was now exposed, and some fan-shaped scales could be seen.

Three water arrows were fired simultaneously. The first two water arrows sealed off the retreat path of the animal on the shore. When the animal turned around, the third water arrow hit the animal in the chest.

The animal on the shore was beaten, and there was a short pause.

A sharp scream rang throughout the mountains. There was stillness. The only thing that was moving was the animal in the water.

The fish's body, which was about six or seven meters in length, looked big and heavy. It suddenly jumped out of the water and fell onto the river bank. The developed pectoral and pelvic fins acted like four legs. After it landed on the shore, it started to jump towards the animal. It opened its fangs and bit the animal.

Shao Xuan could clearly hear the crisp crunch of the bone breaking.

The animal's eyes were filled with fear and disbelief. The strange fish, still biting down on the struggling animal, shrunk its developed pectoral and pelvic fins, and rolled its rough cylindrical body off the bank and back into the river. The screams of horror disappeared instantly.

Tranquility was once again restored to the river and its surroundings, with only a few bubbles and an inconspicuous blood floating up from within the river.

This was the forest that the tribes were afraid of. The hidden dangers under the seemingly tranquil surface gave people a great sense of pressure.

After crossing the river, he returned to the ground and continued to deal with all kinds of murderous animals in the mountains.

On the other hand, Wu was counting the days that Shao Xuan has left him.

'It's been six days, and I don't know when Shao Xuan will come back. Whenever I think of Shao Xuan, I get a headache and I can not feel relieved.'

Wu was worried. He walked into the house from outside. As he walked into the house he saw people from the Lu tribe

"What happened?" Wu asked.

Wu felt embarrassed after hearing himself say those words. He knew that the news could not have been about Shao Xuan. Wu was slightly relieved, but what he said was indeed serious.

The people of the Lu tribe told them that there would be a special long-distance party coming. The party was comprised of people who were from the big tribes.

These things required the attention of the tribes, and Wu did not have time to count the days that Shao Xuan was away.

After three days of hard work, Shao Xuan finally arrived at the place indicated by the knot.
