Chapter 360: Horror in the River (2)
To be honest, it is very dangerous for a boat like theirs to walk in the river.
Sometimes it may be just a crocodile passing by underwater, and if you hit them, you might knock them over.
At that time, even Lin Dong didn't dare to guarantee whether he would be safe.
"We can't go along the river, we have to go to land. Such a kayak is too dangerous to walk in the river! Guide Balu reminded.
Lin Dong and the others nodded, and then rowed towards the other side of the river.
The river doesn't look wide, but if you want to cross it, you need to travel at least a hundred meters.
Because of the rising water level, a large amount of the surrounding land is covered by river water.
It is very difficult to row here because it is surrounded by tangled trees and vines.
Listening to the thumping sound of the underwater kayak, Lin Dong and the others were stunned, as if someone was knocking on the bottom of their boat underwater.
"That's the sound of fish in the water hitting the bottom of the boat, be careful not to let your body touch the water, these guys down there are probably piranhas!"
Guide Balu spoke again.
Listening to Balu's words, Lin Xia unconsciously shrank back, lest those guys under the water would jump out and bite him in the next moment.
However, this concern was not wrong, because just as Balu finished speaking, a figure suddenly burst out of the water and rushed towards the boat of Sophie and Lin Xia next to him.
It's just that the little fish is obviously looking for the wrong object, Sophie's body sitting on the bow of the boat does not move, and with a slight wave of her left hand, she sees that the small fish that jumped in the air has been pierced by the saber in Sophie's hand.
Even so, the fish did not die in the first place, its mouth opened and closed widely, and the sharp teeth on the upper edge were clearly visible.
"It's the African tiger fish, the piranha of the Congolese jungle." Baru, who was on the other boat, said as he looked at everything in front of him.
"The tiger fish is not the name of a single type of fish, but rather a collective name for several species of fish named after their aggressive characteristics, predatory habits, or appearance. It encompasses a lot of variety.
The size of this fish can generally grow to 100~150 cm, and the smallest is only 7~9 cm. As for the maximum, it can even exceed 500 cm. ”
"Their upper and lower jaws are short and powerful, their teeth are sharp and sharp, and the smell of blood is a great attraction to them.
A school of tiger fish can tear all the flesh off an injured crocodile in 5 minutes, and although the tigerfish are usually a little lazy and lazy, this does not hide the fact that they are one of the most feared freshwater fish in the world. ”
Listening to Balu's introduction, Sophie very calmly threw the guy on her knife into the water.
Suddenly, the entire surface of the water seemed to be boiled, and in the sound of the rushing water, a large group of the same fish were eating the corpses of the dead fish.
The surface of the water turned blood-red in an instant, making Lin Dong and the others understand that under the calm water, it didn't seem to be as quiet as it seemed.
As for the blood stains spreading in the water, Lin Dong didn't pay too much attention to them.
While the smell of blood may attract more underwater predators, they'll be out of here soon, so those who are drawn in won't be a threat to them in full gear.
"The rain is getting heavier, we need to get out of this part of the water, at this time, the water's edge is more dangerous than the jungle!"
At the urging of Balu, Lin Dong and the others sped up again.
"Bang!"
Lin Dong, who was rowing, felt a sudden shock in his kayak, as if it was about to be jacked up.
"Be careful, it's a crocodile!" Lin Xia, who was on the boat next to him, suddenly reminded loudly.
Lin Dong and Ben on the boat raised their guns in an instant, and the muzzle of the gun was aimed at the river.
At this time, a crocodile that leaked out of its back slowly floated out of the water. It's just that it obviously didn't want to provoke Lin Dong and them, and sank into the water again and swam away into the distance.
Lin Dong put down the gun, since the other party didn't want to provoke them, then Lin Dong naturally wouldn't care about it. And in such a place, after shooting the crocodile yourself, the corpse and the blood that flowed into the water would definitely attract more predators.
After all, this is not a small one of more than ten centimeters, but a big guy with a body length of more than one meter and five!
"Get out of here, obviously these guys don't want to provoke us, but if these crocodiles gather too much, maybe there will be other guys with other ideas!"
In an instant, Lin Dong's speed sped up a few points again. After a few minutes, they were in shallow water, where the kayaks were no longer able to move forward, so they needed to get into the water to pull the boat ashore.
The water is full of silt, and if you step on it, the surface of the water will reach your knees.
Just as Lin Dong and the others were about to go ashore, suddenly there was a loud noise in the water.
When he turned his head, he saw a bloody mouth full of hideousness, and he bit it towards his body.
Lin Dong's whole person reacted instantly, and his hands suddenly pressed against the upper and lower jaws of the big mouth.
However, the power from his hand made him retreat sharply. If it weren't for Lin Dong's free control of his body, he exerted force on his upper body in an instant, allowing this force to carry his entire body out of the water, maybe he would have been knocked down this time.
Several other people from the Dragon Soul also reacted in an instant, and they all raised the automatic rifles on their chests at the first time.
"Bang ......"
In an instant, the sound of guns rang out throughout the jungle.
The guy who attacked Lin Dong was overwhelmed by the bullet in an instant, and countless blood holes appeared on his body, and for a while, the entire surroundings were filled with bloody gas.
Feeling the power coming from his hands getting weaker and weaker, Lin Dong knew that this guy was dead.
Looking closely, a large guy with a body length of more than three meters appeared in front of him.
"It's a Nile crocodile!" Baloo exclaimed.
"Such a large Nile crocodile, there is no match for it in the entire river except for the giant forest snake!"
"Whatever he is, he's dead anyway!" Lin Dong patted the huge crocodile head in front of him.
"Pack up now, let's get out of here quickly. The smell of blood here is so strong that there will definitely be a large number of predators attracted to it! ”
"Yes, yes, let's get out of here!" Lin Xia said urgently.
Although the target of the crocodile's attack just now was not her, she still felt terrified to see such a big guy suddenly rushing out of the water.
Now she knew why Fang Duo and her father had objected to her following the expedition into the jungle before. Although you have been mentally prepared and have raised the danger of the jungle to the highest in your heart, only those who have really experienced it will find that the jungle is really more dangerous than you think!
This means that this crocodile is attacking Lin Dong, if it is Lin Xia or that guide Balu, even if it is this guy, it may be hit by it.
Although this kind of creature usually looks lazy and moves slowly, the crocodile is actually a very sensitive animal, and its sensitivity is even beyond human imagination.
