It was more than 200 meters away from the place where the snapping turtle was hunted before Liu Danqing stopped.

He looked at the sky, the sun had begun to set in the west, so he turned back to Xiao Weiwei and said: "Weiwei, you help me get some smoked snake meat and bamboo tubes, I'll climb a tree and look at the surrounding environment, it is said that there are many small islands in this kind of black water swamp, I hope there can be an outcrop nearby, so that we won't sleep on the water again." ”

Putting all the items on Xiao Weiwei, Liu Danqing found a thick and straight cypress tree and climbed up, stood on a high branch, and looked around.

"You see, we've traveled about five kilometers now, and we've basically kept the direction south, but it's a little westward, but it's not serious, and we're about a quarter of the way through this blackwater swamp, which means we may still not be able to get out tomorrow. ”

"The good news is that there's a little island in front of you on the right, and there's some trees on it, and it's actually a dirt plateau, but it's a lot easier for us to have a single shelter and a fire. ”

"The bad news is that we will have to cross that little river to-morrow, which is a long strip of water without trees in the middle of the swamp, and it is impossible to see how wide it is, and we can only pray that it is neither wide nor deep, but even if it is not wide or deep, it is still the favorite place for crocodiles, and there are often patches of peat bogs floating on the water, and there are aquatic weeds on it, and it is the favorite place of crocodiles, where they often nest. ”

"But we can't get around there, this little river basically runs through this blackwater swamp, unless we want to go east or west, but to the east is a big river, more dangerous, and the west is too far away to even see the head. ”

"Okay, I don't care about tomorrow, I'm going down now, go to that little high ground first, and spend tonight. ”

Sliding down from the cypress tree, Liu Danqing took the package and the bamboo tube from Xiao Weiwei's hand, took a sip of water by the way, and said to Xiao Weiwei: "I have found land, come with me, and camp there tonight." ”

"It's great to have land, it's really good, it's really uncomfortable to soak in sewage for a long time, I've been looking forward to a piece of land for a long time, so that we can trim it, and dry our bodies by the way, especially the shoes, which are already all mud, uh, can't look like it, and want to vomit again." ”

Without any danger, the two walked nearly a kilometer of waterway, and finally set foot on the island when the sky was slightly darker.

The island is oval-shaped, about 30 meters long and 20 meters wide, not too big, but not small, for the two of them, the materials for building a shelter are already abundant.

However, when Xiao San inspected the entire island, he found that there were still a few local residents on the island, which made the audience frightened.

There were three crocodiles, two about two meters long, lying on the northeast corner of the island, and one giant over three meters long, lying on the west side of the island.

Now I don't know whether to say that Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei's luck is good or bad.

The good thing is that there are no crocodiles on the island, and the bad thing is that there are three crocodiles on the island.

Maybe the good luck is Xiao Weiwei's, but with Liu Danqing, there is naturally a little bad luck.

When Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei first came to the island, they didn't notice these crocodiles, and when they walked to the high place in the middle of the island, they found these three local residents.

At this time, the three local residents also noticed that two unfamiliar guests had appeared on their territory, and two crocodiles of more than two meters slowly retreated into the water.

These two crocodiles are still relatively cautious, for unknown creatures, they maintain basic vigilance and return to their home turf, but if they are in the water, it is difficult to say, it is good not to take the initiative to approach the two.

And the big crocodile of more than three meters is still lazily lying on the west side, enjoying the last ray of sunshine, for it, the top overlord of the southern Louisiana swamps, Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei are not worth it to give up the sun and take the initiative to retreat into the water.

Xiao Weiwei looked at the big crocodile, her heart was a little hairy, and asked Liu Danqing: "Qingqing, if it doesn't leave, what should we do?"

Liu Danqing was also a little numb, and said depressedly: "Now this island is too small, if the crocodiles take advantage of our work to sprint, we will be miserable, their explosive speed is very fast, can reach seventy or eighty yards, although they can only rush for a few seconds before resting, but they have already pounced on us." ”

"It's really not good, it's only the first strike, Weiwei, you stare at the crocodile, be on guard, if it moves, immediately climb to the tree, I cut down this little tree, the spear is too short, I always feel that it is not enough." ”

Although Xiao Weiwei was asked to be wary of crocodiles, Liu Danqing did not forget to aim at the crocodile with the residual vision of his eyes while cutting down trees to prevent it from suddenly breaking out and hurting people.

When the tree was cut down, the sound seemed to startle the big crocodile, and it raised its head, looked at Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei, and then continued to lie back on the ground, basking in the chance sunset light shining through the shade of the tree.

Liu Danqing carried the spear, looked at the big crocodile vigilantly, waited for it to lie down again, and quickly used the mountain knife to cut off the branches on the small tree, and then cut off the top, and then took Xiao Weiwei's M9 bayonet, installed it in the groove cut out, and untied the umbrella rope on the bamboo tube, and firmly fixed the bayonet.

At this point, a spear in the early three meters is ready, because with the M9 bayonet as the spear head, this spear is much more powerful than the wooden spear, which is described in data, that is, sharpness +3, piercing +5.

Holding a spear, Liu Danqing slowly approached the big crocodile, shouting loudly as he walked, hoping to let the big crocodile return to his home turf, that is, in the water.

Although Xiao Weiwei was a little scared, she still stubbornly followed Liu Danqing's side, holding a spear.

The big crocodile finally sensed the threat and propped himself up, its two vertical pupils staring at the two approaching men, its tail swinging behind it.

According to its past habits, it would have already charged and bitten and rolled to death, letting the two guys who didn't know the height of the sky know what the consequences of provoking the swamp overlord were.

But the two sharpness in front of it made it a little uneasy, and it was worried that if it sprinted, it would hit the sharp point directly and hurt itself.

It didn't want to get hurt by attacking two unknown creatures, so that countless creatures that peered into its regional supremacy would attack him mercilessly.

Among them were mainly its kind, such as a few crocodiles floating in the water not far away, which were watching this side with a merciless gaze.

But the pride of the regional overlord made it unwilling to retreat, and since it had grown to more than three meters, no creature dared to provoke it.
