Chapter 141: Piranha
Ten minutes later, Gu Xiaole and Ning Lei, who had already calmed down, had already left the lake in the area below the waterfall.
Because Gu Xiaole turned around and didn't find any good climbing position for the two of them to climb back to the cliff,
As for the Lin family sisters standing on the top of the cliff, because the distance is too far, they basically can't communicate, and they don't have ropes or anything like that.
It won't help them for a while......
So Gu Xiaole and Ning Lei decided to go around this mountain to see if they could find a gentle angle of slope and look for opportunities to climb up.
Probably because of the irrigation of this lake, there is not much jungle under the cliffs, but there are many wetlands with a lot of artemisia grass......
This is completely different from the environment they encountered above, Gu Xiaole walked in front while reminding Ning Lei in the back to pay attention:
"You must follow me closely, it's all wetlands, I'm worried about danger!"
"Danger, what danger?" asked Ning Lei, who was following behind, incomprehensibly.
"I'm worried that there will be quicksand or a relatively hidden swamp trap here!" Gu Xiaole said as he untied the half of the rope that remained on his body and threw it to Ning Lei in the back.
"What are you doing?" she still couldn't understand what Gu Xiaole meant when she took the rope.
Gu Xiaole didn't bother to explain, just said lightly: "Tie the rope on you, in case I walk in front and fall!
"What? you, how can you think so, I'm not your wife, so Miss Ben won't be buried with you!" But after all, Ning Lei obediently tied the rope to her little man's waist.
At this time, the two people were already soaking wet, but fortunately, it was daytime, and the temperature in the center of the island was very high, so the water on the two of them quickly evaporated with the temperature......
But as they get drier and drier, another nasty thing immediately arises......
That's mosquitoes, they used to have mosquito bites when they were in the jungle, but as long as they lit some plants like artemisia grass and smoked it, they basically got it done.
How do you know that the mosquitoes in the wetland below are so fierce, even during the day, they pounce on people in groups and groups.
The two of them walked and kept swatting the mosquitoes on their bodies......
"I'm going, the mosquitoes here are too scary, aren't they?
But I didn't see Ning Lei in the back for a long time, Gu Xiaole thought that she had an accident, and looked back, okay, this eldest lady can pick up her hands so fast,
I'm frantically patting my exposed white skin to fight against mosquitoes, and I don't have time to talk nonsense with him.
"Oh, it's a pity that it's you, not Lin Jiao, otherwise that little girl must be happy to death?"
"Happy, Gu Xiaole, have you been stupid by mosquitoes, how can Xiaojiao be happy when she comes?" Ning Lei asked suspiciously.
"Why are you unhappy, doesn't she always think that her breasts are small all day long? When she arrives here, just light up her xiaolongbao, and make sure that these mosquitoes will immediately surround her and give her breast augmentation!"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Ning Lei hammered Gu Xiaole hard and said with a smile.
Gu Xiaole's joke eased the irritability of the two of them a little, but with so many mosquitoes circling around them, it was indeed a headache.
"Hold on a little longer, I haven't found any artemisia grass that can be used to repel mosquitoes, otherwise it would have been much better for each of us to have a handful of that thing in our hands!"
The two walked a few more feet deep and shallow in the wetland, and Gu Xiaole finally found a few artemisia grass that could ignite and repel mosquitoes, and fortunately, the ZIPPO lighter on his body never left him.
Sure enough, after the artemisia grass was ignited, the mosquitoes that had been besieging them disappeared suddenly......
But the road ahead is not much better, and there are even many places where there is not only mud, but even a lot of low-lying water......
"Ning Lei, you must follow me, the water in front of you is getting deeper and deeper, I'm worried that there will be an accident at any time, so you must follow closely......"
Gu Xiaole's words made Ning Lei's heart tighten, and she hurriedly asked:
"What, what an accident? Isn't there water? Miss Ben isn't unconscious now, she doesn't know how to swim, and she won't drown with a little water, right?"
Gu Xiaole in front shook his head:
"It's not just the water, the water under our feet is knee-deep now, and I don't know what animals are in such a shallow swamp!"
His explanation suddenly made Ning Lei in the back even more nervous, and hurriedly asked in a trembling voice:
"You, do you mean there might be crocodiles in there?"
"Crocodile, possibly, or something else, in short, be sure to watch your step, and tell me as soon as there is any movement!"
"Maybe there is something else?" Ning Lei swallowed a mouthful of saliva, It's okay for Gu Xiaole not to say, she hasn't felt any surprise yet.
But after listening to his explanation, Ning Lei felt that there was really something swimming in the water where she was standing on her two little legs, and she touched her skin from time to time.
Ning Lei is now wearing a pair of denim hot pants, and her two long white legs are almost standing in the water, and now she is furious in Gu Xiaole's heart, Ning Lei has to hold the smoking artemisia grass with one hand, and put one hand into the water,
Paddle around your legs to see what touches you.
But it may also be her own delusion, her hand groped in the water for a long time, but found nothing......
"It must be this Gu Xiaole who is playing tricks and scaring himself, when he was in a coma just now, he didn't know how much oil he took the opportunity to rub it?"
Thinking of this, Ning Lei groped around with herself a little nervously to see if there were any traces of any clothing buttons, zippers, or openings......
But at this moment, there was a sudden huge pain in his left calf!
"Ahh
And in that blood, a few more black shadows kept turning!
"It's not good! there's a piranha in this water!" Gu Xiaole was also taken aback, and hurriedly ran over and carried Ning Lei, who was screaming in pain, onto his shoulder.
At this time, Ning Lei's legs came out of the water to see clearly, and something on her left calf had bitten off a piece of flesh the size of a thumb, and blood was dripping down her calf into the water......
Immediately there was a splash in the blood-dripping water, and groups of palm-sized piranhas were scrambling to surround where they were.
Gu Xiaole complained in his heart, isn't it good for him to stay on the cliff camp of the plane wreckage?
I had to go down to the bottom, but I just escaped from the crocodile pool, and I met the damn piranha again!
Piranhas, also known as piranha, are a type of sawtooth salmon that is widely distributed in freshwater watersheds in the tropics.
Known as wolves in the water, these creatures tend to swarm at the sight of blood, gnawing their prey into a pile of bones with their huge, sharp teeth in their mouths!
It is said that in order to safely drive cattle or sheep across the river, the indigenous people of South America often cut a sick old and weak cow several times downstream and then drove it into the water.
While these man-eating pomfrets were biting around the sick cow, they hurriedly drove the herd of cattle across the river from upstream, which shows how terrifying the attack power of these wolves in the water is!
Although Gu Xiaole didn't know if what he and Ning Lei encountered now was the kind of piranha in the freshwater of South America, one thing was certain, that is, if he didn't run quickly,
I'm afraid the two of them won't even be able to keep their whole corpses......
Fortunately, Gu Xiaole was wearing a set of colonel uniforms, and the texture of the officer's trousers below was very thick, and it was not easy for the piranha to break the defense directly.
What's more, at this time, Gu Xiaole once again started to run at full speed, carrying Miss Ning on his shoulder, and started another desperate run in this shallow swamp more than one meter deep......
