"It's a rotten wood crocodile! It's a rotten wood crocodile!! ”

One of the veteran members of the expedition shouted in panic. At this time, the others couldn't react, and were shocked by the sudden tragedy in front of them:

The rotten piece of wood soaked in the water turned out to be an ugly black crocodile with a body length of more than five meters!

It took nearly half an hour to drift from a distance with extreme patience, and it seemed to go with the flow, but in fact it had been secretly observing and hiding murderous intentions. It wasn't until everyone was showing their elation and letting their guard down that this ferocious beast, which looked like a dead wood, suddenly attacked, biting the youngest member of the group, Abang in two, from his waist with the first bite!

"There's another one over here!"

Another member of the team who was holding the lizard suddenly screamed again. This time, though, he didn't suffer like Abang, and the Rotten Wood Crocodile was targeting the large lizard he was holding in his hand.

The tail of the large lizard was large and long, and it had been flailing in the water when it was frightened, but it had unfortunately hit another rotten wood crocodile that was still in camouflaged proximity. The rotten wood crocodile may have thought that its camouflage had failed, or perhaps it thought that the flesh of the giant lizard was more delicious than human flesh, so it opened its bloody mouth and bit off the long tail of the giant lizard!

"Everybody's coming closer! Pay attention to your surroundings! ”

Xue Da was experienced and knew that he could no longer hesitate and grieve at this time, and hurriedly wanted to gather everyone together. At the same time, he pulled out a two-handed axe he had brought with him, and stepped forward alone to drive away the rotten wood crocodile that wanted to attack the lizard.

But when walking just now, the eight members of the entire expedition team and the two big lizards were lined up in a very loose long snake formation, and it was difficult to get close to each other at the first time. Moreover, Xue Da is not from the military and does not know how to give orders more accurately. Therefore, after hearing the order, everyone ran to the front of Xue Da's team in a panic.

Liu Han and I walked in the back half of the team, and when we saw this, we both frowned slightly, and instead of blindly running forward with them, we just stood in place and back to back with each other, silently took out our weapons to prepare for battle, and at the same time began to carefully observe the situation around us.

Sure enough, about two feet away from Liu Han and me, there were three long rotten logs drifting towards us. These damn rotten wood crocodiles were so well camouflaged, and the scales on the back of their heads were of a strange shape, with a bump protruding in some parts, like a nodule on the bark of a tree; In other parts, on the contrary, there are one depression after another, like cracked bark; Their tails, in particular, are so thin that when they are cocked, they look like half-truncated branches!

"I'll deal with the two smaller ones in front of me and on the left-hand side, and you can get the biggest one in front of you!" Liu Han's observation skills are also excellent, and he took the lead in dividing the labor of these three goals.

Naturally, I trusted her, and I replied, "Yes! ”

The "rotten log" that floated under my feet was indeed very long, at least six meters long. The part where it floats on the surface of the water is only half a meter wide, but I have every reason to believe that the part below the surface of the water will be thicker, at least a meter wide.

Since it's still pretending to be confused and trying to get as close as possible before attacking me, there's no need for me to give it that chance. The normal knife in his hand was raised high, and ninety percent of the yin power was transported, and even if I made a thunderous knife, Huo Ran slashed it in the air!

"Crackle! Click! ”

The back of the rotten wood crocodile crackled like the sound of a tree breaking.

"Whew!"

It was in pain on its back, and it raised its head and howled wildly, and the "rotten wood" that had been straight suddenly became twisted, wriggled, and took on its original form. It's really a big fat black crocodile!

However, although my slash in the air hurt it, the pain caused it to be greatly stimulated immediately. The rotten wood crocodile had completely abandoned its camouflage and leapt out of the water, biting at my feet with its long, powerful upper and lower jaws like jagged iron gates.

I didn't dare to slack off, so I jumped high, flipped over while closing my feet, turned into a position of head and feet, and with the help of the rapid rotation of the momentum, I picked up the shield wok in my left hand and smashed it the nose of the rotten wood crocodile.

"Bang!"

The shield wok, made of 10,000-year-old black iron, struck the scale armor of the rotten wood crocodile, and immediately made the sound of gold and stone clashing, which showed the hardness of the skin on its back. However, although the scale armor provided strong enough protection, the nose of the rotten wood crocodile was still a weak part of it. Once again, my thump made it feel a sharp pain and become more violent.

"Whoa!"

The Rotten Wood Crocodile attacked me a second time, but this time it targeted my head. Obviously, it seems to think that this is my vital part, and wants to kill me with one blow!

Unfortunately, it miscalculated. When it leaps above my arm, it gives me a great opportunity to attack its belly!

No matter what kind of crocodile it is, its most defensive scale armor grows on the back of the head, while the flat neck and abdomen are generally soft skin and directly wrap the important organs in the body. That's where it comes in.

I adopted the opposite strategy of jumping up and counterattacking just now, and immediately took a step back and turned my head with my back to the rotten wood crocodile, and at the same time bent down and squatted, but the normal knife in my right hand quietly pulled out backwards, and came with a move "Fierce Horse Raising Hoof"!

"Shhh

"Whoa! Crash! ”

"Whoa, whoa!"

The belly of the rotten wood crocodile was slashed by an extremely sharp knife like this, and it was immediately disemboweled. Coupled with its own crazy writhing, all the internal organs in its stomach spilled out!

The ferocious beast paid with his life for his recklessness and stupidity, and after a few moments of painful struggle and rolling, he could no longer move. At this point, it's really like a rotten piece of wood.

After dealing with the biggest rotten wood crocodile, I quickly turned around to help Liu Han.

Although Liu Han's crescent halberd was not as sharp as the usual knife, it could barely cope with two slightly smaller rotten wood crocodiles at the same time. She didn't take any chances, so she kept fighting with these two monsters, waiting for me to finally get it done.

I didn't have to be polite at all, and I went up and slashed at the back of one of the rotten wood crocodiles. There were also crackling sounds, and the scales on its back suddenly cracked a few holes.

The pain-stricken crocodile swayed wildly on the water, trying to find its killer. After two turns, it finally saw me with the usual knife and rushed over to bite me.

The closer I get, the sharper the power of my normal knife. I slashed through the air again, and slashed at its head with unmistakable accuracy.

"Click!"

A flash of red light appeared, and one of the eyes of the second rotten wood crocodile was cut blind by me, spurting out a wisp of blood. Now it finally knew that it was afraid, and turned around and fled. However, if you can take two slaps from me as usual, you won't die, and the skin of this rotten wood crocodile is really thick enough!

I went to help Liu Han solve the last one, and I happened to meet the rotten wood crocodile with its bloody mouth open and wanted to bite off the crescent halberd. As soon as I shook my hand, the shield wok in my left hand flew out and happened to be stuck in its throat. Then it couldn't close its mouth, and it frantically shook its head there with its mouth wide open.

I said to Liu Han: "Its skin is too thick, poke it in its mouth and try it!" ”

Liu Han agreed, stepped forward and accurately pierced the throat of the third rotten wood crocodile with a halberd, and then twisted it hard. This ugly beast spewed a large amount of foul-smelling blood from its mouth, and the black muddy water was dyed red. In the end, this one also turned over and died.

I took the shield wok out of the dead crocodile's mouth and went with Liu Han to help Xue Da and the others. We did the same again, Liu Han stabbed one to death, I cut one away, and the other team members gradually stabilized their mentality and worked together to deal with the few remaining rotten wood crocodiles. Eventually, after leaving five corpses behind, the group of rotten crocodiles that attacked the expedition escaped, and we were safe.

However, the casualties on the expedition's side were not optimistic. Abang died, the other two team members each broke a hand and a foot, and a large lizard's tail was bitten off by the roots, and it was dripping with blood.

Xue Da ran forward, picked up the upper half of Abang's body and sighed incessantly. The lower half of Abang's body has been taken away by the first rotten wood crocodile to appear, and he ended up dead without a corpse.

Xue Da, a rugged man, couldn't help but fall down at this time, beating his chest hard and saying, "It's my negligence!" I forgot that the rotten wood crocodile likes to hide near the blue moss grass and wait for its prey, and I killed you, Abang! ”

When I saw that he was pounding his chest and struggling in pain, I stepped forward and comforted him: "Treasure hunting is a job of tying your head to the waistband of your trousers, and no one can foresee all the dangers. If there were, I'm afraid I'm too scared to come. Brother Xue, you don't have to blame yourself too much. ”

Xue Da shook his head, still unable to let go for a long time. After lamenting for a long time, he wiped the muddy water from Abang's face with his hands and said sadly: "Don't worry, Abang! The other brothers can't pay you back, but I promise that I will hand over the share and pension to your family this time, and you can rest in peace in the spirit of heaven! ”

Abang's body was no longer suitable for burial, so he had to dig a pit on the highest island nearby and bury him. There was not even a tombstone on the grave, so he stuck his weapon on the ground as a mark.

I've been in expeditions and caravans for years, and I've seen a lot of it. Every dart master and expedition member should be mentally prepared to die in a foreign land before entering this profession, so that a simple burial is better than a place to die without a place to bury or simply have no bones left.

Liu Han leaned on my shoulder and sobbed secretly. She had just met Abang, a lively and cheerful boy, and she also noticed his shy love for her, and she joked with me privately that she wanted to teach Abang how to make other girls. But I never thought that Ah Bang died so soon, how could she not be sad and regretful?
