This time, led by Ansul, they prepared to cross a gravel slope. www.biquge.info Before they could reach the gravel slope, they had to climb to the ledge below.

Ansu slid down to the ledge with the help of pine trees growing in the crevices of the rock, and then climbed down with his bare hands, stepping on the gravel slope. Large and small stones cover the entire slope of the mountain, and with a little exertion, the stones will roll down. This is also the reason why the gravel slope is difficult to cross, the stones under the feet are easy to slide, and one foot in the air may roll down, and there may be stones on top that roll down and hit the head.

When going down the gravel slope, An Su stood up, balanced with her arms, faced the direction of progress, put her weight on her knees, tried not to lean forward, slowly slid down, and after mastering a certain momentum and rhythm, she jumped forward. With each step, the heel was embedded in the pile of rocks and slid down for a short distance, pushing away the surrounding rubble, and a large amount of rubble rolled downward. When the corpse was about to lose its balance, she swung her arms to adjust her balance and stabilize her body. In addition to the stones under his feet that kept slipping, some of the loose stones above his head also rolled down, but Ansu avoided them in time.

After about a few minutes, Ansul reached the bottom. Traversing the gravel slopes can be dangerous, but with the skills you can get to your destination as quickly as skiing.

After Ansu went down to the bottom, Li Kai and Simon came down in batches, and they didn't come down at the same time because they slid down the gravel slope at different speeds, and they were afraid that they would cause harm to their companions below. The two quickly reached the bottom, Li Kai was safe and sound, and Simon was only hit twice on his back by the rolling stones, and there was no major problem.

Beneath the gravel slope is a wetland, and the water that comes down from the mountain melts into it and flows into the distance. The turbulent river, which was more than ten meters wide, was difficult for them to cross, so they had to walk along the wetlands at the edge of the river.

The area under your feet looks like a grass where you can put your feet down, but when you actually step on it, you realize that it is actually a sponge full of water, and when you are squeezed, the water overflows, submerging the whole foot, and it often takes a little effort to pull the foot out. Simon is big, and when he walks, he often falls forward, as if suddenly one foot has broken the ground, Li Kai wants to laugh at Simon, but he stepped on the air without paying attention, and the words of the exit turned into a short exclamation. In this swampy wetland, it's never possible to know exactly which piece is stepping on the ground.

Ansu glanced back at the two of them who were walking crookedly, paused and thought for a moment, looked around again, and then walked over to a bush of heather-like plants with thick leaves, pulled out his knife and cut them down.

"Tie this to the soles of your feet." Ansu said. By tying these plants to the soles of their feet, they increase the contact area between their feet and the ground, and they are not easy to sink, which is the same reason as the snowshoes they made before. Tie these plants to the soles of your feet, and when you walk again, they will not sink so easily, and you can often pull out your feet and step on another piece of ground when they are sinking.

In this swamp full of traps, they walked cautiously, with extreme caution. Thankfully, they hadn't encountered any strange swamp creatures yet, but it was like the calm before the storm, as if the whole swamp creatures were judging them and wondering where to start.

"Follow me." An Su raised his spear, Li Kai and Simon also learned from An Su to use a spear to find the way, although it was not 100% accurate to probe the solid ground, but nine times out of ten it was right. Besides, they are following Ansu, so there are fewer mistakes.

"Captain, when is it a head?" Simon wiped the sweat from his forehead, and the sun sprinkled its light and heat in the air. The surrounding water is so steamy that the whole body feels like being soaked in water, and the skin of the palms of the hands is wrinkled, not to mention the feet soaked in the water.

Li Kai lifted a piece of animal skin and fanned the wind, and there was also an impatient look on his face, this slimy and damp feeling was really bad. The place he used to hate to go to was the swamp, where danger lurked everywhere. He frowned fiercely, raised one foot, and on his calf was a thumb-thick leech, moving and happily sucking blood. Li Kai pinched it. He was about to take it away when suddenly a hand stopped him.

"Captain?" Li Kai looked at her puzzled.

"This is no ordinary leech." Ansu opened the metal ball where the fire was stored, and when the metal ball was opened, the charcoal inside began to burn again. An Su brought it close to the alien leech on Li Kai's calf, and the leech twisted its body uncomfortably due to the heat, and after about a minute, it fell off Li Kai's leg. Ansu quickly drew his knife and stabbed it in half.

"It has tiny barbed teeth, and," Ansu held it taller for Li Kai and Simon to see more clearly, "when it is hit with a fatal attack, the carapace of its head connecting to the teeth will break off, and its head will remain in the flesh. After Ansu finished speaking, he shook off the alien leech on the tip of the knife far away, "Be more careful." This place may be more dangerous than the swampy area we have passed through before. ”

Simon and Li Kai nodded, this planet is evil everywhere.

After several hours of trekking, they finally set foot on a solid piece of land, different from the water and grass they had walked before, and it was shaded by low bushes, revealing black earth.

Simon and Li Kai almost lifted off the damp animal skin on their bodies as soon as they stepped on the ground, and they had a few leeches on their thighs and backs, which were full of blood.

"Rub, these bugs!" Li Kai's face was entangled, murderous but he didn't dare to start, An Su had to help them burn them one by one. There were no leeches on his body, and Li Kai felt like he had put down a thousand catties of boulders on his body.

"We'll just rest here." Ansu said, quickly picked off the leech that was sucked on her body with a knife, and the skin of this completely mutated body was extremely tough, and the sharp teeth of the alien leech could not penetrate at all, but they could still stick to her skin.

Li Kai and Simon were dumbfounded, these leeches couldn't suck Ansu's blood at all, could it be that the captain's ability was to strengthen the skin? Invulnerable?

In a humid environment, it is impossible to find something dry to start a fire, they can only eat food raw. However, this place seems to have nothing to eat except water and grass. But they have consumed too much energy along the way, and if they don't replenish their energy, the next road may be even more difficult. (To be continued.) )
