Besides, Zebra is just a native here, and the cost of hiring him is too cheap, not enough for Ning Beichen and Liu Yilin to have a meal at a good restaurant outside.
"Okay, sir, I can take you there, but sir, do you need to go back to the village to repair it?"
"Because this will be a long water journey and will take several days, the food we carry is not enough."
The zebra said happily when he heard this.
He owed Ning Beichen this time for leading the way, because he didn't dare to go into the Devil's Forest. Even if Ning Beichen didn't give him more money, he was still going to take Ning Beichen there.
What made Zema happy was that Ning Beichen didn't blame him and generously gave him more money. Zema naturally wouldn't refuse.
"No need. The most indispensable thing in the Amazon rainforest is food. There is no need for us to go back and waste time."
Ning Beichen said.
"Okay, sir, I need to find materials here to build a small wooden boat before we can set off."
Zebra nodded, feeling very admired by Ning Beichen in his heart.
Because the living environment in the Amazon rainforest is extremely cruel, some tourists have come here before, but they couldn't stand it for long.
They are either suffering from diarrhea and illness, are not acclimatized, feel very tired, or are frightened by the cruel environment of the Amazon rainforest.
There are countless leeches, poisonous snakes, scorpions, crocodiles, terrible mosquitoes, etc. If the indigenous people are not accustomed to living in the local area, outsiders would not be able to stand it.
"Okay, then go ahead and build it. If you need any help, you can call me."
Ning Beichen didn't want to do everything, and he didn't know much about the structure of ships. He didn't want an outsider to lead an expert, so he simply gave Zebra the task of building the ship.
Anyway, with his ability, even if the wooden boat built by Zebra is useless, it will be fine. Even if the wooden boat sinks, it will not endanger Ning Beichen's safety. This is called having strength and willfulness.
Not long after, Zebra finished the small wooden boat. It was a small wooden boat with pointed ends and could only accommodate two people at most.
Moreover, after the two of them got on the small wooden boat, the horizontal line was only a fist away from the surface of the boat, no more than ten centimeters at most. Ning Beichen had to doubt that this thing could really sail?
However, as the small wooden boat sailed slowly in the hands of the zebra, Ning Beichen finally felt relieved. Although the thing might sink at any time, it was very stable in the hands of the zebra.
Ning Beichen also felt relieved, half-squinting his eyes and lazily admiring the scenery on both sides of the river.
Moreover, he would put his hands in the water and play with them from time to time. This move by Ning Beichen immediately made the zebra's face change drastically, and he hurriedly told Ning Beichen not to put his hands in the water, because there were many piranhas in the water.
But as soon as Zebra finished speaking, he saw a piranha leap out of the water and pounce on Ning Beichen's finger.
The sharp teeth bit Ning Beichen's finger, and the zebra immediately said it was over. He hurriedly stretched out his hand to help, trying to get rid of the piranha biting Ning Beichen's finger.
But the next second the zebra was shocked!
Because the piranha's teeth were shattered on the ground, as if it had bitten a piece of steel and shattered its sharp teeth.
However, Ning Beichen, who was bitten on his finger, was fine at all, and his finger was intact, not even a bit of broken skin.
On the contrary, the piranha that bit his finger was being held and played with by Ning Beichen at the moment, giving the impression that this was not a piranha at all, but a crucian carp that couldn't bite.
Zebra was shocked!
He was so shocked that his eyes popped out.
No one is more familiar with these piranhas than him. Once bitten by a piranha, not only a piece of flesh will be lost, but at least a piece of skin will be torn. If the finger is bitten, the finger will almost not be saved.
But what did he see?
He saw the piranha bite Ning Beichen's finger, but nothing happened to Ning Beichen's finger, not even a bit of skin was broken. Instead, the piranha's teeth were all lost, and the piranha is still being played with by Ning Beichen.
He held it there, no matter how much he rounded it or flattened it, he still had no temper at all.
"It is said that this piranha tastes pretty good?"
Ning Beichen asked the zebra while playing with the piranha.
"Yes...yes, it tastes good."
The zebra looked dazed now and had no idea what he was talking about.
"Really? Then I'll get a few more and I'll have the food for later."
When Ning Beichen heard this, he immediately became interested. This time he did not wait for the piranha to take the bait. Instead, he grabbed the piranha in the water with lightning speed.
After a while, there were more than a dozen lively piranhas in the narrow cabin, which made the zebra dumbfounded.
Just now... was that catching fish with bare hands?
Zebra felt a little crazy. How could this be possible?
However, the dozen or so lively piranhas in the cabin told him clearly that the scene he saw just now was not a dream, but a real existence.
What is the zebra thinking?
Ning Beichen was too lazy to care. He just caught a few piranhas. Not to mention practitioners, even trained ordinary people could do it. There was really nothing to be surprised about.
Soon half a day passed. Ning Beichen asked the zebra to find a place to rest on the shore and have something to eat. After all, zebras are humans and not real zebras. He had been rowing for half a day. Ning Beichen could see that he was tired.
.
The zebra carefully rowed the wooden boat to the shore, then dragged the wooden boat out of the water, and then the two found a place to rest nearby.
Ning Beichen set up a small temporary camp and started making fire to cook and grill fish.
Regarding cooking, Ning Beichen really didn't dare to entrust it to Zebra.
The reason is that Ning Beichen once saw the "magical" scene of a zebra putting some weird things in his mouth, chewing them up, and then spitting them out and putting them in dishes as ingredients. Ning Beichen was really right
Thank you for his cooking skills.
Although he knew that this was the habit of the local indigenous people and was not intentional, Ning Beichen still couldn't accept it.
Ning Beichen quickly set up a bonfire and then placed the prepared fish on the bonfire to grill.
While grilling, crush some wild lemons picked here and sprinkle the wild lemon juice on top of the piranha to make the meat of the piranha more delicious.
And the zebra didn't know where to find some strange edible fruits. Although these fruits looked ugly, they tasted sweet and juicy, just like pears. They were considered rare fruits after meals.
After eating and drinking, Ning Beichen let the zebra rest for an hour before setting off. There was still time anyway, so there was no need to squeeze the zebra to death all at once.
