Even though the strange fish reacted quickly, it was still too late.
A gust of wind blew past.
The surface of the river was cut open like a piece of cloth. The strange fish that had just dived into the water was caught and lifted up. Then, with a sizzling sound, the thick smell of blood filled the air.
Bo Luo, who was originally on the wooden raft and wanted to jump into the river, felt a huge wave hit him. If he wasn't holding onto the raft with one hand, he would have been blown away.
Bo Luo couldn't open his eyes because of the river water. There was the smell of blood in the air, and there seemed to be something else. When he opened his eyes, he saw something falling from the sky into the river in front of the raft. The waves from the impact made the raft shake even more violently.
It was a strange fish that had been torn in half. After it fell into the river, the tail half sank and soon disappeared. The other half floated on the surface of the river but did not sink. Bo Luo could still see the three-petaled mouth of the strange fish opening and closing, but it did not have the majestic aura it had before. It was barely hanging on to life.
No matter if it was the people on the raft or the people on the shore, they were all shocked by the scene just now.
Just now … What was that?
"Bo Luo, be careful!"
"Run!"
"Get into the water! Get into the water! "
The people on the shore suddenly shouted in panic.
The person on the raft also felt as if he was being watched. When he raised his head, he saw a figure rushing towards him at an extremely fast speed. He didn't even have time to jump into the water before he was grabbed into the air along with the raft.
"Ah —"
Bo Luo looked at the surface of the river that was quickly disappearing. The fear and sadness in his heart turned into a cry of despair. The moment he left the mouth of the strange fish, he fell into the claws of a bird.
The reinforcements had already arrived, but at this moment, they were helpless. They didn't even have time to draw their bows and arrows.
With that kind of speed and that kind of size, it was definitely not a normal bird.
"That's a fearsome beast!" The people who rushed over shouted.
The people on the shore could only watch the big bird in the sky fly higher and higher. It flew further and further, and soon disappeared from their sight.
Looking at the disappearing figure in the sky, a child who still wanted to run forward only regained his senses when he was forcefully pulled away from the shore. He cried, "Big brother was caught by a fearsome beast!"
The people who rushed over retracted their gazes and panted. They were already fast enough, but they were still one step too late.
"Didn't I tell you to stay away from this place?! Are you all deaf?! Do you want to die?! " The leader of the group that came over was so angry that his beard stood up. He went over to slap them one by one, but he didn't hit the crying child. After all, he had just lost his big brother.
"Bo Luo … He's gone?" Someone asked.
"What else?" The middle-aged man in the lead tugged at the hunting net on his body in annoyance. "What else can happen after being captured by a ferocious beast?!"
As he said that, he looked at the river's surface of the river, Bo, of course, of
The fish, of the fish, of the river, and of the fish of the fish....... But looking at the movements in the river, there should already be small fish eating the carcass. They didn't know if the carcass would be able to float over before it was eaten. This was also the reason why they rarely went into the water. The river was too dangerous. When fishing, they used wooden rafts to set up a net and then reel it in at the riverbank.
Once they left the riverbank, they had no advantage in the river. No matter how strong the net was, it couldn't make up for it.
When it was close to evening, they carried the fish carcass that finally floated to the riverbank and walked back to the tribe. The atmosphere in the group was very heavy. There were also the sounds of children crying.
They had also looked in the direction that the bird had flown. It was flying upstream. They held onto the mentality of "just in case" and searched upstream for a while, but they didn't find any traces at all.
People who had come into contact with wild beasts knew what would happen to children who were taken away by wild beasts. Similarly, people who were taken away by fearsome beasts would only become their food.
The group of people returned to the tribe in silence.
At the entrance of the tribe, there was a huge net made of ropes. The center of the net was densely woven. The net was painted with dark paint. If one looked at it from afar, they would be able to see the pattern on the net more clearly.
It was a totem. The intersecting lines looked like a net.

When Bo Luo woke up, he felt as if he had been clawed by a fearsome beast. No, he had been clawed by a fearsome beast in the first place!
His consciousness slowly came back. He remembered what happened before he lost consciousness. He wasn't someone who didn't know anything. A bird that could tear the strange fish in half in one move, and with such a huge body, how could it be just a normal fearsome beast?
If he was taken away by a fearsome beast, he would only be eaten. His luck was really terrible …
That wasn't right either!
Bo Luo moved his body and opened his eyes. The glaring light from the Yang Guang almost made him cry. After a while, he raised his hand to block the light from the Yang Guang. When he opened his eyes, the movement of his hand caused his whole body to hurt.
He was alive!
He was still alive!
Thinking of this fact, Bo Luo was very excited. But, what happened?
Without knowing the situation around him, he didn't dare to move. Sometimes, when he met a wild beast, he had to pretend to be dead. What if there was still a fearsome beast nearby?
Carefully turning his head, Bo Luo saw some unfamiliar buildings and unfamiliar people.
Bo Luo suddenly sat up. Around him, there were people sitting or standing. They all looked at him with curious eyes.
Whose house was this?
There was the sound and smell of the river. Even if he hadn't seen the river yet, he was sure of it. Also, the house was shaking slightly, just like when he was standing on the raft.
Floating on the water?
Which tribe's house floated on the river? Bo Luo couldn't think of anything.
"Yo, you're awake?" A man squatting on the ground and spinning a fishing rod looked at him with a smile.
"You … you … you saved me?" Bo Luo asked. He had never seen these people before. They didn't look like people from any of the tribes he knew. He could tell just by feeling.
These people looked very strong. Even the girl next to him, who looked about the same as his sister, was playing with a big river shell with one hand. It looked like she was just throwing a small stone.
Although these people didn't look fierce, when they stared at Bo Luo, he felt like he was being stared at by a beast in the forest. He couldn't help but shiver.
"You could say that," said the young man sitting on a short wooden stump.
What did he mean by "you could say that"?
Bo Luo's excitement from finding out that he was still alive had subsided. His mind was racing as he looked at the people in front of him. How was he saved by these people? Did they fight with a fearsome beast? Or was it that the ferocious beast that caught him abandoned him midway and ran away?
"Uh, how did you meet me? Did you see a very big bird? A fearsome beast. It must be a fearsome beast, "Bo Luo asked.
After he asked, Bo Luo realized that the atmosphere was strange. The people in front of him all smiled at him.
He felt like something was wrong. Bo Luo scratched the goosebumps on his arms.
Sensing something, Bo Luo turned his head and looked behind him. Then, he slowly raised his head.
A big bird four times his height was standing there, staring at him.
After a moment of silence.
"Ah —"
