Volume 1 Afterglow of Doom Chapter 121 Crocodile Dive
Early the next morning, the three of them got up, although it was already early spring, but due to the climate on the side of Jiujiang, sometimes the temperature would be below 15 degrees, which was the time when the crocodile hibernated.
"Ah Zheng, you're ready, you're ready to go." The fat man carried a simple bag behind his back, and carried the silver-white giant axe in his hand. Su Qian, on the other hand, only brought a large military crossbow and a few pots of special crossbow arrows on his back.
"Don't worry, let's let the Liuzakura hunting team explore the way first."
Ying Zheng opened the corner of the curtain and looked down, the Liuying Hunting Team had already gathered under the scenic hotel, and it seemed that they were waiting for the three of them.
"Captain, why haven't those three people come yet, didn't they say that they would meet at six o'clock. I see, they're doing some inexplicable little maneuver again. Big back said on the side.
"Zhong Ya, just say whatever you want." Ying Nanshuang said lightly.
"Captain, it's not a matter of waiting here, who knows if they will come down or if they have already left. Let's go to Zhuang Lao and have a look first. ”
Ying Nanshuang looked up at the outside window of the hotel, waited for a while to no avail, and then turned to leave.
"Let's go, let's go and complete the task first."
The group soon arrived at the small courtyard of the farmhouse where Zhuang Lao lived, but what they didn't expect was that Zhuang Lao was already waiting in front of the door.
"Old Zhuang, did you get up so early?" Sakura Nanshuang was a little surprised.
"Hey, after all, it was the first time I saw a living person yesterday, I was a little excited, I didn't sleep well at night, and I didn't feel sleepy, so I got up first." Zhuang Lao smiled and opened the door.
"Go in, right? I made a little breakfast. ”
Ying Nanshuang just wanted to refuse, but the smell of food suddenly wafted out from the crack in the door, making everyone who had only eaten compressed biscuits in the past few days swallow.
Looking at Zeng Wen's longing little eyes, Ying Nanshuang finally didn't say anything about refusal, and walked in with the members of the hunting team.
The breakfast was very simple, some simple noodles and buns, which made several people full of emotion. Although the geneticists do not worry about food and clothing, the taste of home like this makes the members of the hunting team nostalgic.
After eating and drinking, Sakura Nanshuang got up and prepared.
"You little girl is still in a hurry." Zhuang Lao smiled helplessly, and after cleaning up, he took the hunting team of seven or eight people along the river to the place where the crocodiles lived.
"It's just early spring, and the weather is getting warmer, and it's the season when the crocodiles are waking up from hibernation. However, crocodiles generally wake up gradually when the temperature is above 15 degrees. The climate here in Jiujiang is cold, and the crocodiles should not wake up so quickly in winter, and it should be about the same in a few days. Zhuang Lao explained as he walked.
As an old man who has been with crocodiles for almost his whole life, he knows the situation of crocodiles well.
"That old Zhuang, how are the crocodiles on the farm?" Sakura Nanshuang asked.
"You're going to the farm, there are never fewer crocodiles on the farm. The crocodiles there do not live to adulthood, and when they reach adulthood, they will be hit with aphrodisiacs, and then reproduce the next generation, and after breeding, the male crocodile will be slaughtered directly, and the female crocodile will be used for ornamentation, which is miserable. Zhuang Lao said with a sad face, it seems that his work is not easy.
"After that wetland, there is a farm behind it."
Zhuang Lao led everyone up a winding wooden boardwalk, which was built on top of the wetland. In the past, tourists could experience the charm of the wetland from zero distance, and of course, it was more convenient to dispose of garbage.
The group walked on the top of the wetland, and the wooden planks were a little old, as if they would break if they were exerted.
The planks are surrounded by smelly wetlands and plastic bags that don't know how long they have been in the wetlands, and as the fat man said, there are a lot of stinky fish and rotten shrimp here.
Even some fish genetic beasts swallowed plastic bags and suffocated to death, falling on the wetland, emitting a fishy smell.
I don't know how long I walked, but a fishy wind blew. Ying Nanshuang suddenly felt a little dizzy, and even Zhuang Lao, who was leading the way in front of her, was phantom.
"Zhuang Lao, how long do you have to go?" Sakura Nanshuang asked with her discomfort, she guessed that the air here was too dull, and they had to get out of this strange wetland quickly.
"Soon, just in front, little girl, are you not feeling well?" Zhuang Lao said with concern.
"It's okay, let's keep walking." Ying Nanshuang shook her head, and the group followed Zhuang Lao to continue walking towards the depths of the wetland.
......
Sakura Nanshuang didn't have long to walk on her front foot, and she followed with her back foot and came to the place where they had stopped just now.
"Ah Zheng, this wetland is indeed a bit weird, I always feel that there are a lot of eyes looking at us under the wetland, and I have goosebumps." The fat man looked at the thin plank under his feet, and it was difficult to feel safe.
Ying Zheng thought about it slightly, and a seed of the Blood Vine shot out of his hand and into the wetland.
"Let my vines explore the way first."
......
"Zhuang Lao, why did you stop?" Ying Nanshuang covered her head and looked at Zhuang Lao, who was walking in front.
"Because it's almost time." Zhuang Lao turned his head and said, looking at Ying Nanshuang and the others with a treacherous expression.
"What... Time..."Ying Nanshuang wanted to say something, but a feeling of weakness gradually surged into her heart from her limbs, and she quickly looked back, her teammates were almost incapacitated, and all of them fell to the ground with all four limbs.
"You..."Sakura Nanshuang was so weak that she couldn't even speak, and could only half-squat on the ground, "Why?" ”
"Why? Well, it's simple, because I'm the one who feeds the crocodiles you're going to hunt, and I guess I'm their father. Zhuang Lao said lightly.
The surrounding wetland gradually floated from foam, and crocodiles with their beaks first flowed out of the mud of the wetland, followed by crocodiles crawling out one by one, forming a circle of eight people who fell to the ground.
"Although those three people didn't come, it's good to have the eight of you make the first meal for my children to wake up in winter." Zhuang Lao said coldly, casually reaching out to wipe off the mud from the crocodile that crawled beside him.
What is amazing is that those crocodiles obediently let Zhuang Lao stroke them, without the slightest intention of hurting people, only when they looked at the eight people of Yingnanshuang, their eyes showed a fierce light, and they chose people to devour.
"You... You're human, and they're... It's a genetic beast, humans and genetic beasts are incompatible......" Sakura Nanshuang barely stood up, and a thin sword appeared in her hand.
"Who said that why can't humans and genetic beasts coexist peacefully? These crocodiles are the children I have fed since I was a child, and I don't allow anyone to hurt them. Zhuang Lao said with an angry expression, his face full of vicissitudes of life was full of anger towards Ying Nanshuang and the others.
"So you're poisoning that food?"
"Hmph, I didn't expect you to find out. The poison is not deadly, and you don't even feel it, but the poison mixed with the gas in the wetlands can make people squirm. ”
Zhuang Lao slowly walked in front of Ying Nanshuang, who had picked up the thin sword just now, and now he couldn't even hold the sword steadily, a pair of slender long legs fell to the ground, and the green silk looked at Zhuang Lao with a flushed face.
"Please... Baby, make breakfast for my children. ”
