Chapter 60: The Scents of Corpses in the Middle of the Night

A larger river came into view. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The sunset in the sky is reflected on the surface of the river, sparkling. The river in which the raft is located flows into this great river. If you go down the river, you may end up directly in the south, and you will be farther and farther away from the east.

An Su was silent for a moment amid the sound of the returning birds in the setting sun, and then propped up the long pole and controlled the raft to the other side of the river.

The water of the river was so strong that Ansu's raft was pushed down as soon as it left the estuary. A long pole could no longer control the raft. It swayed up and down with the river.

An Su abandoned the long pole, took out another piece of wood pulp, and rowed to the opposite side with Li Kai at the same rhythm, and the splashed water droplets were dyed the color of the sunset. They landed on An Su and Li Kai's muscular bulging arms, and were thrown out with their powerful movements. Their eyes were fixed on the opposite shore, their arms raised high, sliding down and lifting, sliding down, and the snow-like waves clustered around the raft, sending them towards the other shore little by little.

On the opposite bank was a dense clump of reeds, gently bobbing under the wash of the river, and the raft rushed into the reeds, startling a flock of waterfowl. The reeds grew thickly all around, and dry and fresh reed poles blocked the way. An Su and Li Kai had no choice but to abandon the raft and enter the water. The water only reaches their waists, and they wade ashore on the water. However, they managed to find some dry reed stalks, and they also found a waterfowl's nest with three eggs. Ansu noticed a few cattails growing in the reeds and uprooted them.

Ansu spotted crocodiles crawling by the river, so they continued on, re-entering the jungle.

Before it was completely dark, they set up shelter and built a platform against the four trees off the ground, just enough to lie down for two people. Ansu took off the cattail-like brown puff on the cattail as a firestarter, lit it and added a dry reed stalk to it, and the fire was raised. Dinner is boiled cattail root with bird's eggs. I cut the cattail root and put it in a bamboo tube, and then knocked the bird's eggs into it. Inside the eggs are half-formed bird embryos, but they won't be so picky in this case.

They hadn't eaten for a day, and they finished the dish in a few clicks, trying to ignore the slippery touch of the bird's embryo sliding into their throats. After eating, with a lingering fishy smell in their mouths, they chewed a few more pieces of pugen.

Li Kai snapped one off, chewed it and said, "Every time I eat the embryo of this bird, I always have a creepy feeling. He shook the cattail's long leaves, "I'd rather eat bugs." ā€œ

An Su broke off a dead branch and added it to the fire, glancing at him: "I remember." ā€œ

"Don't don't ......" Li Kai quickly shook his head and smiled flatteringly, "The best thing is meat." Like steak, lamb chops or something......" As he spoke, he clicked and bit down on a piece of cattail root and sighed, "When will we be able to return to normal life?" ā€œ

"Someday it will." Ansu sat by the fire, the light of the fire illuminating her face, and there seemed to be two flames burning under her eyes. "Definitely." She emphasized, looked up at Li Kai, and slowly narrowed her eyes, "Even if we can't go back, we will create a satisfactory life." ā€œ

Li Kai was stunned for a moment, grinned, and showed his white teeth: "Of course!" "It's been almost ten years, and although there is still a glimmer of hope in their hearts to go back, they are still thinking about how to survive in the alien planet. The six of them have nothing to do with the Federation, either their parents have passed away or they are orphans, and they have not started a family all year round, and the six of them have long become each other's family. Where they are, it's home.

"I wish I could find the Jungle Tribes soon, and ask them if they've seen them." Li Kai stretched, yawned, and rowed for a day, he was already tired.

But after so many days in the jungle, there is still no trace of the jungle tribe. Do they really exist?

The night in the jungle was as noisy as ever, but tonight seemed different. The stench of decomposing corpses came over me, and there was no such smell during the day. Ansu opened his eyes vigilantly and grabbed the saber in his hand. As the minutes passed, the rancid smell grew stronger, almost like the hair of thousands of dead people. The noise around them slowly subsided, and at last it became deathly silent, and only the crackling of burning wood could be heard.

An Su frowned, and at this time, the strong smell also woke Li Kai up.

"What happened?" Li Kai asked in a low voice. The stench reminded him of the bird embryo he had eaten tonight, and his stomach was churning.

In the face of this sudden strong rancid smell, An Su couldn't immediately say one, two, three. She flexibly rolled over and got off the ground and glanced at Li Kai. "Let's see."

Li Kaili followed, as if they hadn't slept soundly once since they entered the jungle. There were many times when they woke up in the middle of the night to deal with sudden situations. Gradually, they got used to it. Every time you wake up, you can quickly get into combat mode.

They had already scouted the surrounding area before choosing to build a shelter here, and no bodies were found at all, so where did the strong smell of rotting corpses come from?

An Su and Li Kai dived in the direction of the stench. The faint light of the various plants and fungi in the jungle provided them with a vague view, and they hid their bodies in the shadows and crept forward.

In the silence, there was a sudden buzz of wings, similar to the sound of flies. It's natural, where there are corpses that are decomposing, there are flies.

The smell of rancid smell became stronger, and even if you covered your mouth and nose, you could seep through your fingers. Li Kai's face was already flushed. But the effort paid off, and they found the fly's target.

To their surprise, what appeared in front of them was not a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, but more than a dozen strange plants, which seemed to bloom directly from the ground, each of which was about two meters high, like an upside-down bronze bell. It was dark purple all over, with a soft yellow inside, and if you looked closely, there were four giant petals, which were stretching enchantingly in the night. It glows with a lilac glow with a little bright yellow in the center, and if it weren't for the terrifying smell it emits, it would look beautiful and dreamy. The flies and scavenging insects or animals rushed into the stamens with all their madness, but none of them came out.

Suddenly, Li Kai pulled Raansu's arm and pointed in a direction.

Ansu looked in the direction he was pointing, and there really seemed to be two corpses over there? (To be continued.) )
