Section 431 Reach the marshland

Then, turning his head, he said, "Shabit, you come, come with me in front, I'll open the way, you show me the way." ”

Chen Rui walked ahead.

Shabit walked behind Chen Rui, followed by three security guards and two guides.

With Chen Rui opening the way, the speed of the team's march accelerated.

"Wait." Chen Rui waved his hand backwards.

"Barbara, give me the knife." Chen Rui said to Barbara.

Barbara handed the machete in his hand to Chen Rui.

Chen Rui took the machete, his eyes stared at the water, the water was calm and waveless, and everything seemed normal.

However, Chen Rui sensed that a big crocodile was approaching under the turbid water and wanted to sneak attack Chen Rui.

This is the most common trick used by crocodiles to ambush their prey, and they can be successfully used on their tracks.

Once the prey is bitten by a crocodile, it is difficult to escape.

The crocodile first drags its prey into the water, and then, with its death roll, hisses off some of the prey's flesh.

Chen Rui's hand suddenly moved, and the tip of the machete stabbed into the water.

Chen Rui felt the tip of the knife pierce a layer of tough skin, rub the hard skull, and stab into the crocodile's skull.

The crocodile struggled and rolled together, with great force, and the water splashed everywhere, muddying the water.

"Get up there and help, shoot at it, it's definitely a big one." At this time, Rabachi. Campa exclaimed.

Hearing this, the security guard with the machete ran over, and the security guard with the gun pointed at the crocodile and prepared to shoot.

"Don't shoot." Chen Rui hurriedly stopped the security guard from approaching and said, "This big guy is dead." ”

Chen Rui felt the crocodile's struggle, and the tip of the knife that pierced into its skull ruffled its brain to pieces.

Ten seconds later.

The crocodile stopped struggling.

Kill with a single sword.

Chen Rui pulled out the knife.

Then. Two security guards walked over. Trying to lift the crocodile up.

But. Crocodiles are too heavy.

You can see the crocodile lifted on the water, which is more than 4 meters long and may weigh more than 500 kilograms.

Although, compared to the Nile crocodile - Gustav 5.18 meters, Cassisis 5.5 meters, Brutus 5.6 meters, and even more than 6 meters in length and weighing more than 1 ton of Luo Long These legendary giant crocodiles are still a little worse. But it may reach 4.4 meters, and this crocodile at 4.5 meters is a giant crocodile.

This crocodile may have come from a saltwater crocodile in Lake Maindonbe.

Of course, the two of them could not lift a large crocodile weighing more than 500 kilograms.

"A few more people to carry it." Abach. Campa said to the security guard next to him.

Eventually, it took 6 people to lift the big crocodile up.

Although the giant crocodile has been killed, everyone still feels that its remnants are mighty, with a huge mouth that can open to swallow a person, and a thick body that contains great power and can easily drag an adult African bison into the water.

The fatal wound of the large crocodile was about 10 centimeters behind the middle of the two eyes. There was a deep incision that went straight into the skull.

See this wound. The eyes of everyone looking at Chen Rui were different.

It is very difficult to stab this vital wound and kill this giant crocodile with one blow.

First of all, it is difficult to spot crocodiles under the calm water, even the most experienced hunters who often deal with crocodiles, knowing that crocodiles are famous for lurking in the water.

Secondly, it is very difficult to face the big crocodile head-on, and to maintain absolute calm less than 2 or 3 meters away from the big crocodile, and to stab the crocodile's head with a blow in the turbid water, it is very difficult to do this, requiring eyes as sharp as an eagle, and very steady, ruthless, and accurate.

Finally, the crocodile skin is very tough, and the machete in the security guard's hand is not a military dagger of forged steel, and it is made of ordinary iron, and the tip of the knife is very blunt, and it takes a lot of force to pierce the crocodile's skin.

The expedition began to proceed further.

By about 4 p.m., I finally left the flooding area.

This is a blessing in disguise.

If you have not left the floodplain area before dark, you should only spend the night in the floodplain area where the water is knee-deep for safety.

Fortunately, I left the floodplain area before dark.

There are about 2 hours left before the light time.

Chen Rui chose an open place.

Prepare to set up camp, prepare to collect firewood, prepare food.

Everyone is busy.

"Patriarch Baburu, how long will it be before we get to where the horror birds live." Chen Rui turned his head and said to Baburu.

Babru took a pen and drew a few lines on the paper, and said to Chen Rui, "Through this dense jungle, you have to cross a river, then through a canyon, and then there is a swamp, and the horror birds live in the swamp. ”

Chen Rui asked again, "How long will it take?" ”

Bablu replied, "Three sunrises and sunsets." ”

"Patriarch Babu, why are you so familiar with the terrain here?" Chen Rui asked.

"Because our ancestors were once tribes that lived on the edge of the swamp, and then they were wiped out by another large tribe nearby, and the remaining tribes migrated along the river to the banks of the Congo River, and the legend of the horror bird is spread among all the tribes who live on the edge of the swamp." Bablu said.

"There are still many primitive tribes living on the edge of the swamp?" Chen Rui asked.

"Well, there are more than a dozen tribes, and some tribes still retain primitive food and human customs and the custom of sacrificing living people." Bablu said.

Chen Rui nodded.

By this time, the camp had been set up and the bonfire had been lit.

Barbara and Rabachi. Kamba and a few security guards disposed of the crocodile, cut it into pieces of meat, and roasted it over a fire.

Congolese people eat everything, and crocodiles are a rare game.

Their heaviest taste is to eat monkeys, gorillas.

Ebola is an infectious disease that they contracted by eating monkeys, gorillas and other primates.

Chen Rui also ate a piece of roast crocodile meat, which tasted similar to pork, but was more chewy.

The next day, the expedition packed up and set off.

On the third day, walk through the dense jungle.

On the fourth day, a river was crossed.

On the fifth day, go through a long canyon.

In Africa, there are a lot of canyons like this.

The largest of the Great Rift Valleys, known as the 'scars of the earth', is formed by the drift of a continent that separates itself from the Arabian paleomassif by the stretching of two plates.

In fact, the Congo River is also a rift valley, but the Congo River is relatively low, in the Congo basin, and rainwater pours into the rift valley to form a raging river.

Many lakes in East Africa are also formed in this way, such as Lake Tanganyika and Lake Malawi.

After passing through the canyon, you reach a vast swamp.

The marshland may be hundreds of square kilometres in size, three or four times the size of Tortuga, and is very large. (To be continued......)

PS: The first alliance leader in this book has appeared about the ingot of the alliance, thank you very much.

In order to thank the alliance leader, he specially added 5 chapters for him.

Since things are relatively busy in reality, I often have to consult a lot of information to add to the remnants of the party, and I can't break out seven chapters a day. So on the basis of 2 shifts per day, add 1 more to 2 more, and add more in a few days.

I hope that the alliance leader will understand.

It's November, and the weather is getting colder, so wear more clothes and be careful not to catch a cold.

By the way, it's the beginning of the month, so let's ask for the monthly pass in the hands of all book friends.

Finally, thank you very much for your support.
