In addition to a broad main channel of the North River that traverses the entire southern land, there are many tributaries scattered throughout the forest.

When Song Wen and his party entered the Southern Land, because of the huge size of the snake turtle and Ah Man leading the way, they kept going up the main road, but they would not just diverge into other tributaries. .

Yu Shiba and Mermaid didn't have such good luck.

Because they are a race that is accustomed to living in water, it took them a lot of time just to find the entrance of the waterway when they first came to the South Continent. It was only because of the turbulence of the water surface caused by the heavy rain that they discovered the entrance to the sea.

But along the waterway, they went through many side roads. Yu Shiba didn't know where the mermaid was going and what he was looking for. He was brought to the South Land by the mermaid. I could only silently follow the other party around in the side roads, and after going around for several months, I finally came to Ba Snake's lair.

The channel of this tributary is smaller than that of the main channel. After wandering along the water for almost a month, they saw that the channel became narrower and narrower. Further forward, there was a lake with clear water, which belonged to Bashe. Lair, the Ba snake will only return to this food-rich lake when incubating eggs and raising young.

And its snake egg just broke the shell not long ago.

In front of the cubs, the Ba snake will become particularly irritable and irritable. Any creature that tries to get close to the cubs will be torn apart and swallowed by its huge mouth.

The mermaid clicked her tongue lightly, obviously looking for the wrong place this time.

"Du, shall we go?" Yu Shiba secretly hid behind the mermaid, and after he didn't have to face the threat of Ba Snake, his waist finally straightened a little.

The mermaid uses sharp teeth to tear off a piece of fresh and tender catfish meat. There are not many catfish bone spurs, and it is one of the few river fish that mermaids do not hate. The pain of the flesh being torn off makes the catfish as thick as an arm struggle continuously. slapped onto the mermaid's cheek.

The mermaid looked down, looked at the food in his mouth, reached out and twisted the head of the catfish, the thick fish head was easily separated by the mermaid, he threw the fish head to the fish [-] sitting on the driftwood , Yu Shiba hastily stretched out his hand to catch it, and his stomach rang several times in response to the occasion.

Although the fish head doesn't have much meat, Yu Shiba looks like he's holding something delicious. Even the threat of the snake has been temporarily forgotten by him. Li still didn't forget to thank the mermaid vaguely, "You are such a good fish."

The mermaid frowned, and gave Yu Shiba a disgusted look.

Walking is impossible. In the dictionary of mermaids, there is nothing more important than eating by yourself. He didn't answer Yu Shiba's words, and just floated lazily on the water, obviously with a beautiful and delicate face. face, but the action of eating can be described as ferocious.

Together with the fish meat and the bone spurs, chew them into pieces, and then swallow them whole.

"Hiss." The intruder ignored his threat and ate food in front of him openly. This was a naked provocation to Ba She. The light in the pupil was getting colder and colder, and it was obvious that he was ready to attack.

Just caring about the cub behind him, Ba Snake didn't take the initiative to attack, and his intuition told it that the mermaid was not easy to deal with.

"Hiss." The mermaid swallowed the fish in her mouth, bared her teeth, and imitated Ba Snake's fierce threat. Ba Snake felt the threat, and the snake scales all over her body exploded one by one, and she took a few steps back unconsciously. The two cubs who wanted to get out of the water grass were also protected by Ba snake with its snake tail, which completely blocked the mermaid's sight.

The mermaid pouted, picked up the catfish and continued to eat. He had no interest in this kind of cub that had just hatched and had little meat, and the snake meat was too unpalatable, so it was not on the mermaid's diet. It's not that there is really no choice, the mermaid probably doesn't even want to eat the river fish in the North River.

After eating and drinking enough, the mermaid kicked the driftwood on which Yu Shiba was sitting on to the bank. On the pine tree by the river bank, a few squirrels who were looking around curiously turned around and ran back to the tree hole in fright.

When autumn comes, withered and yellow leaves flutter and fall on the water, and the wind brings the sweet scent of ripe wild fruits.

The mermaid pointed to a wild apple tree not far away, and said to Yushiba: "Go up and help me pick some fruits."

Yu Shiba looked in the direction pointed by the mermaid. After the wild apples matured, the low fruits were eaten away by other animals long ago. Only a few bright red apples hung on the top of the tree.

Yu Shiba looked at the top of the tall tree, then at his flippers, his face was tightly wrinkled, wondering: "I can't climb trees."

"Go as soon as I tell you." The mermaid urged Yu Shiba to go ashore, while he occupied the driftwood and lay down lazily.

The autumn sun is very warm, the mermaid's tail is gently paddling in the water, he closes his eyes gently, he always likes to take a nap after eating, he doesn't seem to worry that Yu Shiba won't ask him to After picking his afternoon dessert, he didn't worry that Ba Snake next to him would suddenly attack him while he was asleep.

The mermaid fell into a sleep leisurely like this, as if she was not in the strange southern land, but in the safe territory where she lived.

Yu Shiba pulled the aquatic plants on the bank so as not to sink into the water. Seeing that the mermaid actually closed his eyes and fell asleep, he didn't give himself a chance to bargain. If he wanted to resist, he could only swallow it silently and cry. Chirping climbed to the shore with hands and feet.

He is really too difficult, and the mermaid is not his partner, why should he help a male creature to pick food?Genyu people only find food for their mates and cubs.

Yu Shiba tilted his head when he thought of this, as if he just ate the catfish that the mermaid hunted.He blinked his big eyes a few times, and frowned suspiciously. Forget it, let's treat it as exchanging food with the mermaid.

After figuring it out, Yu Shiba hurriedly went ashore without any complaints.

Obviously, Yu Shiba, who grew up in the sea, has no talent for climbing trees at all. A pair of flippers can speed him up when swimming in the water, but he has no grip at all when he reaches the tree. He tried several times, often still After climbing a few steps, the whole person slid down the tree trunk.

A few swifts landed among the branches, and the squirrels that originally hid in the tree holes also sneaked out. Even the serval cat that occasionally passed by in the forest looked curiously at the fish climbing the tree.

Ba Snake looked at the mermaid who was already lying on the driftwood and fell asleep, and then at the sweaty Yu Shiba who was bouncing up and down the tree trunk, to make sure that the two intruders did not hit his own child. After thinking about the cub's idea, he rolled the cubs with their tails and retreated to the lake for a distance, only guarding against the possibility that the two might break into the lake.

The mermaid didn't know how long she slept, and finally opened her eyes after her body was warmed by the sun.

The mermaid who just woke up was a little confused, seeing Yu Shiba who was still competing with the wild apple tree not far away, it took a while to remember what I asked him to go up the tree to pick apples before falling asleep.

The mermaid looked up at the blue sky, and was silent. He knew that Genyu people were useless, but he didn't expect to be so useless.

"Oh." When a heavy object hit the top of his head, Yu Shiba hurriedly covered his head with his hands, and loosened his hands. This time, he didn't slide down the tree trunk, but fell to the ground with his whole body, thanks to his poor climbing skills. High, even if you fall, you don't feel pain.

A bright red wild apple rolled down, Yu Shiba blinked his eyes a few times, then his eyes widened in vain, he got up from the ground, picked up the apple, looked up at the top of the tall tree, and He looked at the apple in his hand.

In perfect condition, not smashed, the mermaid will love it.

While Yu Shiba was enjoying the apples falling from the sky, several more apples fell from the top of his head one after another. Yu Shiba's eyes lit up, and he rushed over to pick up the apples one by one. The fish skin skirt wiped the dirt and grass clippings on the surface of the apple.

He was so lucky that he got the apple without climbing a tree.

"What are you doing in a daze? Come here quickly." The mermaid lay on the shore, throwing a few stones up and down, urging in a somewhat impatient tone. He was sure that this stupid Genyu must think that the wild The apple fell down for Yu Shiba to pick up.

Yu Shiba took small steps, came to the mermaid and handed over the wild apples in his arms, "Are you awake? I picked up a lot of fruits."

The mermaid only took the reddest and largest one from the pile of fruits, washed it casually in the river water under her body, and then took a big bite. The wild apple is very crisp, and it has a sweet taste when it is ripe. After eating a few mouthfuls, he raised his chin slightly at Yu Shiba, "Let's go."

Yu Shiba looked at the wild apples in his arms and was a little puzzled, "Is one enough for you? What should I do with these wild apples?"

"You are rewarded." The mermaid waved her hand casually, pointed in the direction of Yushiba, and then plunged into the water, leaving only a sparkling light.

"You are such a good fish." Yu Shiba looked at the wild apples in his arms with emotion, there were so many that he could eat them for a long time.

However, he didn't finish his touching words. Seeing the mermaid disappeared in the river, Yu Shiba shouted in a panic: "Wait for me, don't leave me behind."

Yu Shiba hurriedly ran back to his driftwood. On the driftwood was the animal skin backpack that Song Wen gave him before, and he could store these wild apples without worrying about losing them.

However, the mermaid would not listen to Yu Shiba's words at all. After Yu Shiba packed up the fruit in his hand, there was no trace of the mermaid on the wide tributary of the Beihe River.

With a slumped face, Yu Shiba paddled the water surface bitterly, chasing after the mermaid disappeared.

The two Ba snake cubs, who had been watching for a long time in the water plants, looked at each other, and lightly vomited the pink and tender snake letters. These two strange intruders came to their territory to pick them. A few wild fruits?Could it be that the fruit is delicious?

The cubs looked up at the wild apple tree. On the top of the tall tree, there were still a few bright red wild apples hanging on the branches.
