Chapter 57: Hibiscus out of the water
Lin Shuo and the four of them walked along Yueya Lake for more than an hour, and finally came to the confluence of this lake and the river.
The waterway here is in the shape of a "D", with a high rock wall on one side, and the water is about 20 meters wide, which is considered the narrowest body of water here.
The water is shallower than the lake, but it is also deeper than the river, and the bottom is invisible to the naked eye.
"That's it. Lin Shuo looked at the situation on the other side.
"The water temperature is quite comfortable, not cold or hot. Wei Xingshan squatted at the water's edge, tried it with his hands, and then asked, "Swim over?"
"Hmm. Lin Shuo nodded.
"Okay. Wei Xingshan stood up, "I'll go over first, Lao Lin, you can press the formation for me." ”
"Yo. Lin Shuo smiled, "Why didn't you coax this time?"
"No way. Wei Xingshan sighed, "After collecting the money, it's this kind of work in a minefield." ”
"Team Wei, I'll go over first. That's when Anne said.
While speaking, the woman took off her coat and handed it to Lin Shuo.
"Miss Anne, you can't rob me of this. Wei Xingshan was halfway through his words, and as soon as he kicked his feet, he was about to plunge into the water.
As a result, he found that his body was not moving at all, and when he turned his head, it turned out that Lin Shuo had put his hand on his shoulder.
"Let her go. Lin Shuo said lightly.
"Lao Lin. Wei Xingshan was puzzled, "Why are you so unsympathetic? How can you let Miss Anne do this kind of work?"
"It's not a matter of pity. Lin Shuo glanced at Wei Xingshan, "With her skills, even if there is something in the water, she can maneuver for a while, and I have time to help him." You, 'click', only half of Wei Xingshan is left, how can I save it?"
"You ......" Wei Xingshan thought of the mountain of ant corpses, and felt that Lin Shuo made sense, but he couldn't hold his face a little, "Old Lin, don't hit people in the face." ”
"Taking this kind of business, one is face, the other is feelings, these two things are the most important. Lin Shuo shook his head and said.
"So you say. Wei Xingshan rolled his eyes, "Are you shameless and emotionless?"
"You can understand it that way. Lin Shuo pointed to the other side, "Because our opponents are this kind of thing, if you talk to them about face and feelings, you are looking for death." ”
While the two were talking, Anne had put on a pair of black leather gloves, tied up her long hair, tied it with a head rope, and then slowly lowered the water.
Lin Shuo stood on the shore, took out an arrow from behind his back, held it in his hand, and stared at Anne's movements in the water.
The posture of this beautiful woman in the water is naturally very graceful, but her speed is not fast, and her head is buried in the water all the time, as if she is observing the underwater situation.
"Miss Anne swims very slowly. Wei Xingshan also stared at Anne, a little worried.
"She was deliberately swimming so slowly. Lin Shuo said, "On this trip, she is using herself as bait, in case there is something in the water, she wants to make sure that she can lure it out, so that you and Dr. Yang are safe." ”
"Hmm. Wei Xingshan responded.
No matter how slow Anne swam was, it was only about twenty meters wide, and she swam halfway through it in a few moments.
At this time, she raised a hand and gave a thumbs up to signal that it was safe.
Then, the woman plunged into the water, and she was no longer visible on the water.
"What is this?" Wei Xingshan felt anxious for a while, "Why are people disappearing while swimming?"
As soon as this sentence fell, I saw a ripple on the surface of the water, and then there was a "bang", and Anne appeared!
The woman didn't know what she was doing underwater, and the speed of her coming out of the water was like an arrow from a string, and the whole person suddenly rose into the air on the water.
As soon as she got out of the water, she hugged her knees and opened it quickly. Miao Man's posture has changed from coming out of the water almost vertically to being completely parallel to the surface of the water.
Just like the backstroke in the water at the Olympics, Anne is now facing up and her back to the water, her body is fully stretched, and her whole body takes on a bridge-like reverse arc.
Wei Xingshan and Yang Tuo were stunned.
At this moment, she is like a mermaid out of the water, and it seems that a rainbow has been erected on the water, which is breathtakingly beautiful.
Wei Xingshan and Yang Tuo didn't expect that a woman could achieve such a thrilling beauty without relying on her beauty and just by a certain movement of her body.
At this moment, the two of them stared blankly at Anne leaping up on the water, unable to think of anything.
Fortunately, Lin Shuo was sober.
He knew that Anne wasn't trying to do anything when she was doing this on the water.
Something was chasing her underwater.
She leapt out of the water and lay down to make room for her shot.
So Lin Shuo waved his hand, and the arrow in his hand flew out.
With a "poof", a black shadow just popped out of the water, and it was brutally pierced by this arrow, and smashed into the opposite shore with this black shadow as fast as lightning!
The arrow carried the shadow away, and Anne turned around with a false kick of her legs in mid-air, and her body straightened and fell back into the water.
Unlike the obvious signs when she came out of the water, Anne didn't even make a splash when she entered the water.
The corners of Lin Shuo's mouth twitched.
The splash was so small when she entered the water, and now she was really showing off.
As Anne entered the water again, Wei Xingshan finally reacted, and he quickly raised the rifle in his hand.
As soon as the muzzle of the gun was raised, it was knocked down by Lin Shuo: "Look carefully." ”
Wei Xingshan fixed his eyes and saw that on the opposite bank twenty meters away, what was nailed to the stone by Lin Shuo's arrow was half a pliers.
The bottom half of the pincers was still in the water, and the surface of the water was churning, and a large crab was out of the water.
This crab was the size of a tabletop, and right now a pincer was nailed to the shore by Lin Shuo.
The guy looked anxious, circling around his pincers, round and round.
"Do you see it clearly?" Lin Shuo smiled at this time, "This is dinner, it was sparsely beaten by the gun, so how can you eat it?"
Wei Xingshan nodded again and again when he heard this: "Hey, such a big crab, I don't know what it tastes like." ”
......
At present, the only threat in this water, the giant crab, has been removed, and the next thing is easy.
When Lin Shuo finally came to the other side, the crab was still circling around its pincers, half in the water and half on land.
This big guy is out of the water and into the water for a while, and it looks quite busy.
Anne stayed next to the crab, with a pretty and sad face: "This kind of crab, will it be poisonous?"
Wei Xingshan was so happy that no one looked like him: "Look at this stupid appearance, isn't it just a hairy crab? How can it be poisonous." ”
Yang Tuo lay on the ground and looked at it, stood up and nodded: "Mother." ”
"I'll wipe it!" Wei Xingshan was even more excited, "There's crab roe!"
While speaking, Wei Xingshan pulled out a dagger from his waist: "I'll come." ”
This giant man was about to kill the crab, but Lin Shuo grabbed him on the shoulder again.
"What's wrong?" Wei Xingshan asked.
"Will you eat it?" Lin Shuo asked rhetorically.
"Huh?"
"Hairy crabs, they should be steamed alive. Lin Shuo said seriously.
"Then you turn into a steamer. Wei Xingshan laughed angrily and pointed to the big crab that was spinning in circles, "I can let go of this guy." ”
Lin Shuo pouted at the heart of the lake: "Is this not an achievement?"
"Hey!" Wei Xingshan's eyes lit up, "It's still your brain." ”
The lake under everyone's feet has a lava pool on the island in the middle of the lake.
The waters around the island in the middle of the lake, heated to boiling by lava, emit a large amount of steam, which is a ready-made steamer.
The only trouble is that it's a bit far from here, an hour's walk.
But this obviously does not bother everyone.
Lin Shuo knocked the big crab unconscious first, and then Wei Xingshan took out the rope in his backpack and tied the crab with a big tie.
Wei Xingshan tried it and found that although he could carry this crab of more than 200 catties on his back, if he carried it for an hour, it was estimated that he would die in the middle of the road.
So the work of carrying the crab fell on Lin Shuo.
Lin Shuo didn't care about this, in his words, he could balance the weight of his two shoulders.
Walking along the lake, in the direction of the center of the lake, the four of them got hotter and hotter as they walked, and it felt like a sauna.
"It's close to 40 degrees Celsius. Yang Tuo looked at the electronic watch on his wrist and reminded.
At this time, it was already foggy around everyone, and the visibility had dropped a lot.
"Why don't you go for a trip, Lao Lin. Wei Xingshan suggested, "If this continues, the crabs are not ripe, and we are ripe first." ”
"Visibility is poor and it's dangerous. Lin Shuo nodded, "You guys withdraw first, find a place to camp nearby, and I'll go back." ”
"Okay. Wei Xingshan nodded.
......
Temporarily separated from Lin Shuo, Wei Xingshan took Anne and Yang Tuo back for a while.
Right now, it's already past six o'clock in the evening, Wei Xingshan and Anne are okay, and Yang Tuo's physical strength is close to overdrafting.
The location Wei Xingshan chose to camp on was a rocky beach more than 100 meters away from the water's edge.
Fifty meters further in, there is a fern forest. Unlike the forests on the other side, the ferns here are taller.
Looking at the black forest, Wei Xingshan had palpitations and didn't dare to go in.
This rocky beach is not bad, the temperature is in the twenties, and there is some geothermal heat, the stones are warm, there is no need to make a fire, and it must be very comfortable to sleep at night.
As soon as he put down his backpack, Lin Shuo had already rushed back, drenched all over.
"You're not steaming crabs, you're cooking crabs, aren't you?" Wei Xingshan asked.
"If you don't soak in the water first, I dare to go in?" Do you know what a steam scald is?" Lin Shuo glanced at Wei Xingshan.
"I thought you weren't afraid of steam. Wei Xingshan grinned.
Anne stood up at this time and winked at Lin Shuo.
Lin Shuo immediately understood and nodded.
He knew that Anne wanted to set up a "painting prison" here for the sake of safety at night.
This time the arrangement is different from the previous one.
In addition to arranging the invisible xenomorph silk, Anne also made a circle of stones to leave a clear mark.
In this way, "painting a prison" is worthy of its name: painting the ground as a prison.
After arranging, Anne came back and said to Wei Xingshan and Yang Tuo:
"Team Wei, Dr. Yang, from now on, you two must not go near that circle of stones unless I lift the arrangement. ”
Looking at the rare solemn expression of Anne, who was usually smiling and welcoming, Wei Xingshan and Yang Tuo glanced at each other, and then nodded at the same time.
