Chapter 18 The Fright in the Mire
Two large crocodile skins were peeled off and threw them onto a stone for exposure to the sun. As for the meat, they were cut and served on a bonfire and barbecued. In just a moment, the crocodile was filled with muscles, and the fat content of the meat was less than half of the beef. It tasted very delicious and was a rare delicacy.
Two large crocodiles more than three meters long are enough for five people to lose their stomachs.
Leng Yun was a little depressed, and she couldn't help but think of Qin Min. Last night, she was eating meat and talking with everyone. It was a life-like life and personality, and life and death were separated in a blink of an eye. This feeling would never be understood by anyone who had never experienced it. Leng Yun even had the illusion that she was not dead. But reason was telling her that it was impossible that Qin Min was completely dead, but I was afraid that even the body or a monster passing by had eaten it.
The gap is so strong that there is no psychological preparation.
Zhang Mu handed over a bunch of crocodile meat: "Don't be too sad, just fill your stomach and have the strength to fight."
"I understand." Leng Yun nodded and took the skewers from Zhang Mu's hand. The grilled meat was just right, the surface was slightly burnt, and the inside was cooked, with attractive grease. Leng Yun took a bite and the crocodile meat was a bit old, but the taste was excellent. Of course, this aspect was determined by barbecue technology.
Sun Bing asked: "This swamp wetland is very large, so it is not easy for us to get through it."
The fat man agreed and said, "Yes, it's all muddy, so don't worry about it."
"Do you want to take a detour?" Chen Ling whispered, and she looked around: "The area of this place is too large, at least one or two days."
Zhang Mu said while eating meat: "There are some ways, don't worry."
When the few people were all full, the crocodile skin was almost dry. Zhang Mu cut the crocodile skin into a long, strong rope, and then asked everyone to cut the reeds. After a while, a large piece of reeds were placed in front of him.
The fat man wondered: "Boss, why are you doing so many reeds? You can't eat them!"
Zhang Mu picked up a reed and broke it gently, "The reed itself is very light and has a hollow structure, so it can generate enough buoyancy. We make a reed raft and swim up the swamp, which will be much easier than hiking."
Leng Yun's eyes lit up and said, "Good idea!"
The fat man was a little worried, "What if a fish-like monster ran out of the water?"
Zhang Mu shook his head and said, "The swamp obviously does not have much water accumulation. The water has temporarily become deeper due to the heavy rain last night, and there will be no large monsters. Of course, you should be careful. No water monsters do not mean there are no monsters living in the swamp. Crocodiles are an example, be careful."
The fat man said, "That's good, that's good."
Several people cut wood to reinforce it, and used ropes made of crocodile skin to tie two light rafts. As for using excess reeds, they made some tools similar to lifebuoys. If they accidentally fell into the mud, they could still produce buoyancy and not get stuck in the mud.
Five long bamboos were found as oars, and the five people pushed the raft into the water. Leng Yun, Chen Ling and Sun Bing rode a raft. The fat man could not swim and weighed two, so he rode a raft with Zhang Mu.
Set off.
Zhang Mu supported the slender bamboo pole and advanced in the wetland. Because the heavy rain last night made the swamp full of black and turbid mud and water, but the water was not deep, half a meter to one meter, and there was a thick silt swamp under the water. When the bamboo pole was inserted into the mud, there were always a large number of bubbles, which emerged from it, releasing a stinking smell similar to that in the septic tank.
This is biogas. The biogas produced by plants for a long time will definitely be very deep. If you sink into it, you will die.
Five people held their breath and paddled forward. The reed raft floated six or seven hundred meters, the terrain became lower and deeper, and the water became deeper. There were large groups of reeds on all sides, most of which were more than two meters high, with ears of beige flowers. When a gust of wind blew across the earth, wrinkled the water surface and lowered the reeds. Looking up, it was green that poured thousands of hectares. Among many plants similar to dandelions, a piece of white seed was raised.
Under the blue sky, in the gentle breeze, green sprinkles thousands of miles, and wild birds fly together. In the brilliant sunshine, in the light waves, reed flowers are everywhere, and white floss is everywhere.
It's such a poetic and picturesque scene!
No one appreciates it!
There was only one thought in the five people's mind, which was to leave the swamp quickly.
This kind of place makes people feel insecure and danger may appear at any time. No one knows whether the raft will fall off in the next second. He is worried for about ten minutes, and everyone is praying in his heart. Don’t be surprised, but sometimes, the more you are afraid of, the more you encounter something.
The unsettling situation finally happened.
When the two rafts passed by a particularly large reed marsh, a "rattle" sounded from the reeds in front, and a large group of frightened gray birds flew up from it.
Zhang Mu raised his hand, everyone stopped stroking, and all stared nervously inside the reeds.
Sun Bing asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
Zhang Mu whispered: "It seems that there is something, we will take a detour."
Leng Yun's heart hangs, and there are bottomless swamps around her. At this moment, it is more than a thousand meters away from the other side.
If there is an attack, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Everyone's eyes focused. The reeds were too tall and too dense, so they couldn't see anything inside. However, no one questioned Zhang Mu's words, and the few people immediately turned around and prepared to bypass them. At this time, a sound came from the reeds. Something was constantly squeezing the reeds. Judging from the reeds that were tilting around, it was probably not small in size and was moving towards it.
A cold sweat broke out on the fat man's face: "Damn, what the hell is it!"
The thing is getting closer and closer, and many reeds are bent, getting closer and closer...
Sun Bing took out his shield: "It's coming!"
The reeds nearby were squeezed away, and when they were about to drill out, a strange scene appeared, and the sound in the reeds disappeared. The five people were ready for battle, but they did not see anything appearing from the reeds, and they were all stunned.
Chen Ling nervously held the axe, "Why... has it suddenly disappeared?"
Gulugulu!
In the sewage, a large number of bubbles were turned out from the water.
Zhang Mu's pupils suddenly contracted and he shouted: "Be careful, it's underwater!"
Bang!
The water surface was suddenly broken open. It was a giant python that was thirteen or fourteen meters long. It was covered with white ring patterns, and its triangular head was spitting out a letter, staring at several people with cold eyes. It was four stories high and slightly thicker than the body of an adult man. It was really an unheard of giant python!
[Misty Anaconda], level 8 bronze elite, health value 600, magic 300, attributes???, skills??, introduction: A cruel Anaconda becomes stronger because it is eroded by evil forces.
The fat man screamed: "Fuck me, are you wrong?"
The speed of the mud squat was too fast, and everyone had no time to react. The giant tail swept over with a thousand pounds of force. The reed raft of several people was slapped on the spot. Five people fell directly into the turbid and sticky mud, and their feet were trapped in the swamp mud. As they struggled, a large amount of biogas was stirred up. Countless bubbles rolled out in the mud and water, and the stench blew up on the face, making people dizzy and dizzy. The mud and water were stimulating, just like chili water, making people unable to open their eyes.
"Damn it, damn it! I hate water!" The fat man struggled in panic like a fat pig falling into the water, yelling: "Where is such a big snake?"
This is a water anaconda. In fact, there is no essential difference between anaconda and a python, but it is nothing more than a different way of reproduction. Anacondas are mainly oviparous, while pythons are mostly oviparous. This huge snake is generally not poisonous, but its speed is very fast. If it is entangled, it will die.
Zhang Mu poked his head out of the mud and water. The place where he fell into the water was far away from the others. The reed rafts were completely scattered and scattered everywhere. Fortunately, the five people were covered with lifebuoys made of reeds, and all of them floated to the water in time. Even so, they turned into mud and their mouths and noses were stuffed with smelly mud, causing them to breathe poorly and they couldn't breathe for a long time.
The giant python's four-story body was lifted up, bent into a dangerous S-shaped shape, and posed as if it was about to attack. Once this giant snake was entangled with the target, it would instantly skeletons all over its body and be entangled in the swamp mud. There was no possibility of escape, and it would be a destiny.
When life was hanging on the line, ordinary people were already panicked, but Zhang Mu calmly analyzed the situation, immediately found the vitality, and shouted loudly: "Reed, that reed, you should go to that reed. Since you bear the weight of the giant python, you can definitely bear our weight!"
When the four of them heard this, they felt like they had caught a life-saving straw. There was no chance of winning the battle in the water. If they fought in a land environment, there was still hope to defeat it. The giant python had at least 300 kilograms. It could move on the reeds, and others could still stand up.
Leng Yun raised her staff and an ice arrow shot on the giant python, causing 45 points of high damage. The frost effect slowed down its speed a lot. Sun Bing pulled the fat man and was working hard to move towards the reed area, with Chen Ling following behind.
"Shit!"
After the giant python was shot by an ice arrow, it became completely angry and turned its head to attack Leng Yun.
Sun Bing and the fat man climbed up the reeds. Sun Bing turned around and used a sarcasm. When the giant python was about to attack Leng Yun, he suddenly felt the effect of the sarcasm. He was furious and turned around and looked at Sun Bing. Sun Bing was glared by his gloomy eyes, and felt his legs were weak. He hurriedly turned his head and ran into the reed area.
Zhang Mu's judgment is good. Because there is a lot of mud under the reeds, a piece of ground is generated. Although it is very incomplete, it hides a large number of puddles. It is better to walk step by step deeper and shallower than to fight in the water. The giant python is too fast, causing two waves of water, rushing over like a dragon.
Sun Bing was panicked and suddenly his feet were empty. His entire right leg stepped into a big puddle, and half of his body fell into the water. The giant python took the opportunity to rush up and entangle his body, and began to use the python's trick of wrapping and strangling.
Sun Bing opened his petrochemical skin, but his physique was unable to resist the strangulation of the giant python. At this time, Zhang Mu had just climbed the reed area, which was more than ten meters away, and there was no time to rescue him.
Seeing this, the fat man roared, and his whole body was shrouded in red energy. A savage crashed into the giant python's body, causing 44 points of high damage, and then the impact force pounced on the giant python's head, swung the jungle blade with both hands and slashed it. The jungle sword had an attack power of 24 points, and combined with the amazing power of the berserker, causing 32 points of damage, and at the same time cut open the python's tough scales and snake skin.
The giant python roared, swept its tail hard and slapped the fat man's chest.
This attack seemed simple, but in fact it was extremely powerful. The fat man weighed more than 250 kilograms and flew out of the reeds and fell into the mud. He drank a few mouthfuls of dirty and smelly mud and almost fainted in the water.
"Fat man!"
Zhang Mu was shocked and reached out to pull.
