Chapter 276 Ancestral Land? Old Nest?

By the stream, Feng Yi and a wild giant panda competed to see who stepped on the water more times.

It is hard to say whether people who have been away from social groups for too long and have more contact with wild animals will passively reduce their intelligence.

Anyway, Feng Yi did not feel how childish he was at all. He stepped on the stream a few times and even looked at the giant panda with his legs crossed not far away as if provocatively.

In the end, it was the wild giant panda that gave up first.

I don’t know whether it realized that Feng Yi, this "unknown creature", was unreasonable, or whether it was hungry and wanted to go somewhere else to find food. After biting the thing in its claws for a few times, it threw it aside, slowly stood up, left the stream with both feet, walked away, and disappeared in the forest in a short while.

Feng Yi sat in the same place, soaking his feet leisurely while replenishing food.

He took out two bags of compressed dry food from his backpack, and filled the water bottle with clean stream water from upstream.

The drinking water was not heated, anyway, he was not afraid of parasites and bacteria.

While eating, he let go of his senses and felt this area, where was the route he was looking for.

This is not difficult.

Without the interference of outsiders, Feng Yi can let go of his ability to perceive.

This mountain range hides secrets and old stories about his ancestors.

Perhaps to some extent, this place can be called "ancestral land".

Feng Yi wants to find the traces of residence left by the ancestors who lived here thousands of years ago, or even longer ago.

Buildings and other supplies may disappear with the passage of time, but something will definitely be left behind.

Feng Yi is now just following the guidance of instinct to find the "old nest".

This trip may not bring him any real benefits, but it will definitely allow him to learn more about his ancestors.

Just like when he went to find a rocky island in the sea, finding the right place will always activate some of the memories in the ancestral DNA.

I don't know what the ancestors looked like.

Feng Yi thought.

It would be even better if we could find some statues or murals.

Even if it becomes unclear after a long time, at least we can see a general outline.

Looking at various mythological stories and some fantasy-style paintings collected in museums, the ancestors should not be much different from him now.

After washing his feet, Feng Yi did not wipe them, because he had to continue on his way anyway.

Feng Yi did not leave immediately, but crossed the stream and came to the place where the wild giant panda was just now, and looked at what it had thrown down.

It was a piece of animal bone.

There was not much meat on it, and you could see the scratches of teeth on the bone.

So, this guy is not a meat-eater.

In addition to being a vegetarian, he would occasionally eat something else.

After taking photos of the scene, Feng Yi packed up and left the stream, continuing along the stream.

Instinct told him that the route he was looking for was closely related to the water source, but it was definitely not this kind of stream, it should be wider and deeper, just like when he "hatched" it, he found a passage from underwater.

Feng Yi's speed was not slow. For ordinary people, there is no convenient road to walk in the deep mountains, nor is there a rock wall slope suitable for climbing, but Feng Yi can still move forward steadily and quickly, after all, he is not an ordinary person.

However, it is inevitable that he looks a little embarrassed.

Mud, stone chips, pollen juice, broken leaves of plants, etc. will all get on his body.

But Feng Yi didn't care. If he got dirty, he could just roll in the water.

Soon, Feng Yi showed a happy look on his face.

The stream flowed forward and flowed into a river.

Where there is water, there are often villages and towns. However, in the depths of the mountains, where the terrain is more complex, it is difficult to see traces of human life.

This river is not wide enough, it may be a tributary of a river.

But it is deep enough.

"We are almost there."

Feng Yi looked at the river.

If the instinct is correct, the route guided should be to find a passage along this river, which will lead to the place he wants to find, although he doesn't know what the place he wants to find looks like.

He just has a sense of... belonging?

Of course, this sense of belonging may not belong to him, it may belong to his ancestors, but this feeling and memory are passed on to him through genetic material.

Feng Yi did not set off immediately to continue moving forward.

He put down his backpack, sat cross-legged on the ground, and looked at the river in front of him flowing to a wider river.

Feel it carefully and analyze it seriously.

As the saying goes, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. Analyze first, prepare well, and then act.

He had to confirm the general route ahead before deciding how to act more efficiently.

Instinct told him that following this river would lead to the passage to the old nest... the ancestral land.

Referring to the underwater passage that was "hatched" at the beginning, he could enter the passage by finding the correct entrance underwater and then find the "old nest".

If the analysis was correct, the subsequent route could be passed directly through the water.

It was also faster in the water.

Feng Yi spent a full hour sensing and analyzing the route, and decided on the next itinerary before getting up.

He looked at the sky.

Today's weather was okay, with many clouds.

That alone was not enough.

Controlling the energy substances in the high altitude, manipulating them to change the clouds and the water vapor under the sky.

Countless small water droplets formed.

Soon, fog appeared in the area, and the clouds in the sky thickened.

The mountains and forests became looming.

The animals living in the mountains seemed to have sensed something, and suddenly became quiet and particularly silent.

Under the cover of fog, Feng Yi found a relatively dry and safe sunken place with slightly higher terrain, put his backpack there, and packed the clothes and pants he took off into cloth bags. Mobile phones, cameras and other electronic devices were packed in waterproof protective bags and put into the bag. Zip up all the pockets of the backpack.

Then use stones and branches to cover the place.

Everything is ready, Feng Yi jumped into the river, dived, and turned into his original form.

Under the water, the flexible and swift figure, like an aquatic creature that already lives here, swam away at a very fast speed.

After Feng Yi left, the fog in the mountains in the area where he went into the water gradually faded, and the clouds in the sky also drifted to other places.

The mountains and forests returned to their previous activity, and there was no sign of human activity.

Under the river, Feng Yi swam very fast, but he did not feel any pressure or burden.

Under the water, he could maintain high-speed sneaking for a long time.

It must be said that the speed underwater is much faster than on the shore, and you can go far away in the blink of an eye.

Before the action, he had carefully analyzed and sensed the general route and direction, so he didn't have to stop after swimming for a while.

He didn't even need to use his eyes to see, as if there was a navigation pointer in his mind telling him where to swim.

His current state, to put it in an analogy, was like turning on navigation and autopilot.

Trust instinct!

According to his analysis and prediction, according to instinctive navigation, he found the entrance of the passage, which should be an underwater cave, and then he could quickly follow this passage to his destination.

But, as the old saying goes--

Analysis is as fierce as a tiger, and actual operation is 0.5.

Sometimes, no matter how much you expect, you will inevitably encounter some unexpected situations.

Feng Yi struggled to crawl in a narrow underwater cave.

The entrance was found.

The cave was also found.

But...

He was stuck.

I caught a cold and stayed for a few more days.

Take medicine for another day and start paying off my debt tomorrow.
