Chapter 50: The Crocodile's Lair
After walking for a while, Amir suddenly stopped, and she said suspiciously, "Something is wrong, I seem to have stepped on something hard?!"
"Don't make a fuss, maybe it's a stone?" said Edward, smiling.
Blanche also turned around at this time and said, "Hurry up, a broken stone is not a big deal." ”
"There shouldn't be any stones in a swamp like this, Amyle, bend down and feel what it is. Lin Fei felt that this was a little unusual.
So Emily handed the stick to Edward, then rolled up her sleeves, bent down, and put her hand into the water.
She quickly touched the hard thing, and said as she touched it: "This thing is a little strange, it seems to be a little cold, and it is angular, not like a stone, but a bit like a tortoiseshell, but a lot of ......."
"What are you kidding? Are there turtles in the field?" Blanche laughed.
Her smile hadn't fully bloomed yet, and a huge tail immediately popped out of the water and made a splash, just this big tail was a meter long!
And Amy, who was standing there, almost fell into the water, and she exclaimed, "Crocodile!
A big crocodile more than two meters long suddenly appeared in front of everyone, and what I loved you just now was the armor on its back.
"Don't act rashly, everyone! This crocodile shouldn't attack us immediately!" Lin Fei told everyone at the first time.
Amy grabbed Lin Fei's arm and said in a trembling voice: "I remember that crocodiles seem to live in groups, should this be here, should it be their nest?!"
"You're really a crow's mouth, why don't you pick up something good?!" Blanche immediately showed the knife, but the small knife was not enough to look at in front of the huge crocodile.
As a result, the more afraid of something, the more they were talking, a pair of eyes slowly appeared on the water, some of those eyes were big and some were small, and they were really said by Amy, this is a crocodile habitat!
At this time, everyone was all stunned, and did not dare to move at all, and Emile trembled even more.
Edward said in a small voice, "Is there anything that can be done now?" The crocodiles seemed to be very hungry, and they were all staring at us. ”
Blanche was not afraid at all, touched her nose and said, "What is there to be afraid of? just kill all these animals!"
She does have the ability to do this, and the reason why she didn't do it is because there are other people, and these ordinary people definitely can't deal with these crocodiles.
"Don't act rashly, let's think about it. Lin Fei was a little nervous in his heart.
At this moment, John's psychological defense line was the first to collapse, he suddenly took out the knife he was carrying, cut the rope and shouted: "What can you do?! I ran for my life and won't play with you!"
He was at the end of the line, and he was far away from the crocodiles, so if he ran alone, the chances of escaping were quite good.
Ye Fei didn't have time to stop it at all, and the guy started running into the distance, alarming all the crocodiles at once.
The crocodiles immediately jumped out of the water and began to chase John!
The crocodile is actually an amphibian, and it is also very fast to run, and can reach a very high speed in a short time, even compared to a wolf.
John heard movement behind him, looked back, and the whole person was frightened, and immediately became a little weak, and dozens of crocodiles chased after him.
At this time, he found that his steps could not move, and he accidentally stepped into the mud, and his whole body was sinking!
"He seems to be in trouble, should we help him?!" Edward, this John, is not right to do this, he may trap everyone at once, but he is the person in charge of this operation, and he can't watch the other party die like this.
Blanche gloated, "If you think you can help him, you can go over now, I can't help him anyway." ”
Lin Fei stretched out his hand to cover Aimir's eyes, sighed and said, "No way, no one can help him." ”
The dozens of crocodiles pounced on them directly, and in the blink of an eye, they tore the fat John to pieces and gnawed it cleanly, just like the saying goes, not even a bone was left!
When Lin Fei's hand moved away from Emile's eyes, Emile saw that there was only a bright red patch in the distance, and John was no longer visible.
She involuntarily hugged Lin Fei in fear, and muttered in her mouth, "Are we dead?"
"It's going to be fine, everyone cut the rope on your body, you hide behind us, there shouldn't be a problem!" Lin Fei reached out and touched Amy's head, as if he was touching a child's head.
Everyone took out knives one after another to cut the rope, and then everyone gathered together, to be specific, hiding behind Lin Fei and the others.
The two subordinates that Blanche brought with her were okay, and the three of them and Lin Fei protected the others in the middle.
Lin Fei had already seen it just now, those crocodiles were running very fast, even if they wanted to escape, these people couldn't outrun the crocodiles.
So at present, there is only one way, that is, everyone will work together and find a way to kill all these crocodiles, which is undoubtedly a very crazy idea, but other than that, Lin Fei can't think of any other way to save everyone's lives.
Jessica, who had not spoken at this time, suddenly said, "Give me a knife." ”
Everyone was very surprised when they suddenly heard that this girl wanted a knife, because this girl wanted to kill Lin Fei.
"No, I gave you a knife, what if you stab us in the back later?" Blanche first disagreed.
Who knew that Lin Fei didn't care at all, and said with a smile: "Amir, give her your knife." ”
Emily didn't have any combat power, even if she held a knife, it was useless, she hesitated for a moment and handed the knife to Jessica, and the eyes of the two exchanged eyes for a short time.
At this moment, Emile suddenly felt that this girl named Jessica didn't seem so hateful.
"You asked her to give me the knife, aren't you afraid that I will give you a knife later?" Jessica was holding the knife in her hand, her eyes sharp, and she was looking at Lin Fei.
Lin Fei threw the knife in his hand, then caught it again, and said, "Of course I'm afraid, but I don't think you will." ”
"Why?" Jessica's brow furrowed, she felt that this man was a little too arrogant.
Lin Fei said, "No, it's just my intuition." ”
The crocodiles around seemed to be unable to hold back and were slowly crawling in this direction, and after a while, several people were surrounded in the middle.
This encirclement is shrinking, and these crocodiles are the top hunters both in the water and on land, and have no natural predators.
They are covered in thick armor that even a knife cannot pierce them, and the only chance is in their abdomen.
But generally these crocodiles don't show their abdomen, and that's the hardest part, so don't look at these people with knives in their hands, it's actually not very useful.
But at this time, they didn't have a chance to think about it, and those crocodiles all rushed up at once, so to speak, being attacked from all sides.
As soon as Lin Fei raised his hand, he immediately shot out dozens of silver needles, all of which hit the eyes of those crocodiles!
Very accurate, after the crocodile is blind, of course, it has no attack power, because it can't see the prey.
Blanche immediately took the opportunity to go up and plunge her knife into the water, stabbing a crocodile in the abdomen, killing one.
She laughed and said, "These guys don't look very difficult to deal with!"
Of course, this is because Ye Fei blinded all of their eyes, but how can Blanche's character remember the credit of others?
"Watch your back!" Lin Fei shouted.
Just then, a crocodile jumped up, opened its mouth, and bit into Blanche's skin!
Lin Fei dodged behind Blanche, and immediately pierced the crocodile's abdomen as soon as he raised his hand!
Blanche's face flushed, and she said in a low voice, "Thank you." ”
"Thank me, you don't need to, be careful, I may not be able to save you next time!" Lin Fei didn't look at her, still concentrating on dealing with these crocodiles.
In fact, as long as he exploded his true strength, he could kill these crocodiles in an instant, but he couldn't do that, otherwise it would arouse the suspicion of these people.
That Jessica was really not ambiguous, wielding a knife in her hand, and she was also a crocodile.
Not to mention Blanche's two subordinates, after all, they are two men, and they can be regarded as able to deal with it calmly.
In this way, Lin Fei kept shooting those crocodiles in the eyes with silver needles, and the others were responsible for killing, and after about an hour, hundreds of crocodiles were all killed!
There are crocodile corpses all around, very tragic, this is the natural world, Lin Fei and they are just trying to survive, these crocodiles are the same reason.
Blanche put the knife away and said jokingly, "It's a shame that there are so many crocodiles, if you peel off the skin, I don't know how many pairs of shoes you can make!"
"Lin Fei, let's get out of here quickly, these crocodiles are weird and scary lying here, and they always make people feel uncomfortable. Emile looked at the bloody corpses of these crocodiles, and couldn't help but feel a little sick to his stomach.
Lin Fei turned to Jessica and said, "Beauty, you are doing well, can you continue on the road now?"
"Of course, this knife is for you. Jessica handed the knife to Lin Fei.
Who knew that Lin Fei didn't take it, but said with a smile: "You can keep this knife for self-defense, but don't always think about killing me, you have to survive here." ”
"I don't agree! Why give her a knife? It's so dangerous!" Blanche immediately reached out and snatched the knife.
Who knew that Lin Fei immediately snatched the knife from Blanche's hand again, and then raised his hand and threw it to Jessica.
Lin Fei raised his eyebrows and said very handsomely: "The opposition is invalid, everyone tie the rope to their bodies and move on!"
Jessica stood there for a long time with the knife in her hand, what was the man thinking? She wanted to kill him, but the other party provided her with a weapon.
"Don't think I'm going to let you go, I'm still going to kill you!" Jessica stuck the sharp knife in her waist.
But Lin Fei didn't pay attention to her at all, as if he hadn't heard it, and tied a rope to his body.
A few minutes later, everyone sorted everything out and set off again, but this time there was one less person in the group. The very annoying John, because of his distrust of others and his greed for life and fear of death, was eaten by a crocodile.
But everyone is not too sad, and people like him are not worthy of others to be sad for him at all.
After passing the crocodile's lair, the rest of the road was very smooth and there was no danger. By noon, everyone stopped to eat something and drink some water.
Because there is a swamp all around, there is no way to sit down and rest, and the rest will delay a lot of time, and this manuscript seems to have no end, so I can only hurry up and hurry.
What everyone didn't expect was that Jessica really didn't lie, and under her leadership, in the evening, everyone really saw the edge of the swamp.
After arriving at the shore, everyone's hearts were relieved at this time, and if they couldn't go out at night, it might become a luxury to sleep in the swamp.
Soon they came ashore, and the tents were set up and the bonfires were lit as usual.
Lin Fei and Blanche went to the jungle to hunt some game, and everyone sat next to the bonfire and roasted, and everyone's mood was different at this time.
After all, everyone lives and dies together, has experienced so many things, and is also a lot closer to each other. Even for that Jessica, everyone is not so disgusted, but feels that she has some pity.
This girl once wanted to kill all of them, but at this time everyone's resentment has disappeared, after all, they had different positions before, and all of this girl's friends died, which is really pitiful.
But after eating in the evening, Lin Fei still asked everyone to tie her up with a rope, even if he himself was not afraid that this girl would hurt him, but others would still be in danger.
At dawn the next day, the crowd was awakened by a strange sound, long and deep, like the howl of an animal.
The crowd ran out of their tents and slept in the wilderness, undressed, of course.
Edward pointed in one direction and shouted, "The sound seems to be coming from that place!"
"What kind of sound is this? It's kind of like an animal, but I can't tell what kind of animal it is. Emily thought for a moment.
Blanche stretched and said casually, "It doesn't matter what kind of sound it is, what does it have to do with us?"
Her nerves have always been very big, and everyone is used to it, and of course no one dares to say anything, because no one dares to offend her.
"Jessica, you seem to know something?" Lin Fei walked over to Jessica.
The reason why he said this was because he saw the girl and was looking in that direction thoughtfully.
Jessica didn't look back, her eyes were still facing that direction, and she said lightly: "It's not the sound of a beast screaming, it's a trombone sound." ”
After everyone listened, they looked at each other, if this is a musical instrument, then why does it seem that everyone has never heard of it?
"What do you mean?!??
If the other party refused to say anything, she would definitely be rude, but Lin Fei stopped her.
Jessica turned around and began to pack the tent, saying as she did, "You'll find out soon, it should be half a day." ”
Of course, the others had many doubts in their hearts, but no one spoke more at this time.
After everyone packed up their tents, put on their backpacks, and continued to march deeper into the forest, nothing unexpected happened.
When it was almost noon, an open place suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and there was a little bit of a feeling of willow and flower. However, to everyone's surprise, there was no one else here besides them!
And these people are not outsiders, they seem to be the aborigines here, and in this open place, there are one or two hundred tents of all sizes.
These tents were all made of white cloth, and the cloth was painted with black paint and some strange symbols that ordinary people could not read.
"Beauty, what's going on with these people, what does it have to do with the Fountain of Youth?" Lin Fei had already thought that these aborigines might have a lot to do with the Fountain of Youth.
Immediately afterwards, Jessica told everyone a very long story: "Actually, the fountain of immortality you are talking about is their holy spring, which originally belonged to their ......"
It turns out that in this dense forest, there lives a primitive tribe, this tribe has about a few hundred people, who have lived here for thousands of years.
And they, like many tribesmen, have their own beliefs and their own culture. The so-called Fountain of Youthlessness is their holy spring, which is the spring that flows out of a place in the middle of the tribe, piled up with stones.
This sacred spring has existed for thousands of years, but no outsiders know about it, until some time ago, someone longed for the outside world and ran out of the tribe.
But if you live outside, you need money, so the man thought of a way, took some water from the holy spring, and sold it to others, and then this holy spring was passed on as the Fountain of Youth.
The crowd soon saw that inside the tribe's camp, there was a huge trombone, which was several meters long and made of stone.
Emily pointed to the trombone and said, "The sound we heard earlier was made by that thing, right?"
"That's right, come in with me, I know their language. Jessica nodded, turned around, and led the way inside.
Blanche followed and threatened, "You'd better not play any tricks, or I won't be able to spare you!"
Everyone followed Jessica to the tribe, and sure enough, as soon as they entered, they were discovered, and immediately several aborigines, with weapons in their hands, stopped a few people.
Of course, their weapon is also very simple, just a long stick with a stone tied to it, but the knife made of stone is also very sharp, and it is no problem to kill people.
