But even the larger golden eagle doesn't have the guts to treat him as a prey. A brood of three golden eagles began to flee from this area at a rapid pace. Then the snake left the lake and went looking for a nearby large water source. As a lake or forest can't provide food or accommodate his large body.
John slithered out of the lake and leaved tracks on his way to the possible river or large water source. According to what he knows the early civilizations thrived on the banks of rivers and water sources.
A large amount of lake water also flowed out of the lake and flowed into a canal formed by the slithering of the snake. This provides a chance for these poisonous animals to get into the river. The population of poisonous animals is given a chance to grow rapidly or they may also become food for some species that specialize in hunting the poisonous animals.
But these poisonous species from the lake will surely not die with the presence of a mutated poisonous tree that's keeping the poisonous lake as it is or there's a possibility it's growing out of control and even occupying certain parts of the river or becoming a plant that can't occupy a river and will only occupy and survive in small waters.
Who knows? that's all up to destiny. John doesn't have time to think about these things that don't affect him. John is wandering around the forest while listening attentively for any evidence of the presence of water. After an hour of searching, John finally heard the sound of water flowing. By following the sound, he found a large river that was flowing silently.
The river is much wider than him, making it easy for him to swim around. The depth was also enough for him to submerge and hide. So, without a second thought, John entered the water and began to swim alongside the river, while looking at the riverbank with his heat sense to find any living beings.
Just like that John began his journey of travel in the river. His large body made it hard for living organisms in the water to survive in his presence alone. So John helped them enter his stomach to avoid getting crushed under him. Even so, he still left a large range of destruction in his path making the lives of aquatic beings miserable.
Fortunately, his ability to store energy improved along with his body size. Where he can convert whatever he eats into energy more efficiently. With this, he doesn't stumble upon a situation where's he hungry. But the price paid for it was the large number of animals entering his belly.
The sun and moon changed their places as the days turned into weeks. But John still didn't find what he was looking for. As John continued his search for civilization in the river. John looked as the water he was swimming in converged into a large body of water that was not a lake, due to its large proportions.
John looked at the large scope of water that made him feel small and questioned himself in confusion(Is this Sea!)
Just as John is dissatisfied with this situation. His emotion changed in a moment as he picked up a heat signal a mile away in the middle of the sea. The creatures he picked up heat signals from appeared humanoid according to his heat sense. The thing is that the heat signal he picked up seemed to appear above the sea in an object shaped like a small boat.

That's why John is excited, as he finally found a tool that signifies knowledge that can only be possible if there's a living being with thinking capabilities. These are the signs of civilization. John finally heaved a huge sigh of relief. As he's not the only one with thinking capability in this world. Because to him even if he gained immortality it would be boring and a curse to him. If he doesn't spend his time lazily and in comfort.
That's the immortal life he likes, not the immortal life where he lives in the forest with a bunch of animals that can't even interact with him. That's not the life he currently desires, but who knows about the future? John swims towards the boat and then enters deep into the water so as not to startle the humanoid beings in the boat and lose what he found after numerous difficulties.
A boat that's only capable of carrying some tools, floats on the crystal-clear water that reflects a clear sky with clouds and an orange-yellow sun that's making the two humanoids in the boat sweat a bit.
A tall humanoid with long black hair, skin, and eyes looked at a short one and said jovially with a simple smile "Hey Klaus, it looks like today's harvest is a bumper harvest."
A short one with a very muscular body with features like the previous one but with additional gill-like organs on both sides of his throat replied to the tall one with a meaningful expression "Loki, No matter how much we hunt. We won't own all of these, everything will be shared equally. So, why are you so excited?"
Loki's excitement also died down with the words of Klaus. So he replied with a disgruntled expression on his face "You are right."
After saying so, he became quiet and began to sit silently on the boat with a bored expression on his face. Till evening when both of them sailed the boat toward a large island with a long range of mountains. With no sign of people living on the island.
But those two didn't go to the shore of the island. They diverted the boat and sailed towards one of the openings under a cliff beside the water. They entered a space that was well hidden under the cliff silently.
Both of them traveled like that for a few minutes in a dark water pathway with the only source of light being the unique animals in the water and the lamp they lightened at the entrance of the path. The whole scenery looked mystical with ancient people traversing the untouched pathway of water with lamps on a quiet boat. But to the two people on the boat, it's what they do every day.
The light reappeared as the boat reached out of the dark underground and got into the open space in the middle of the long mountains surrounding the open space that is protected naturally. These two people showed smiles on their faces upon seeing various people like them returning from hunting with today's hunt.
Most of them looked like normal humans but some of them had gills like Klaus and nobody seemed to care about these things.
They all began to lift the boat out of the water into shore and tied it to the trees. Then began to load the fish into the carriage that was specifically made for this. Then they all climbed into it and sat to relax after returning from a long day of work. The driver with a long tail that is connected to the large muscular bull-shaped animal with no horns pulled the carriage with ease. As they all departed from there.
John lifted his head from the water looked at the departing carriage with a smile and said with a smile "Finally I found a civilization of this world. But it seemed that there are new and interesting things, it's good there are unique and intriguing things. Otherwise, it'll be boring."
