Chapter 269: Fried Fish
Looking at the building in front of them, both of them smiled.
But the problem also comes, this seems to be very different from what Mu Ping said about the cannibal lair, he said that the cannibal lair is in a valley, but there is obviously a platform in front of it, and the gap is very large.
This platform was discovered by an ancient volcanic eruption, over the years, the crater lake was surrounded by trees, the crater silted up into a volcanic lake, under the long-term impact of the flowing water, the crater was washed open several openings, the water level dropped, the soil layer on the surrounding mountains collapsed and congested, and finally formed a platform, which is what it is now, it looks like a lake sandwiched between several mountain peaks, it is a platform, it is better to say that it is a semi-open basin.
A group of salmon at the mouth of the waterfall spotted Li Chaoyang and Mia, immediately jumped up, and quickly returned to the aquatic grass.
Such a large lake, with fish, palm and coconut palms, and a large number of animals, provided an abundance of food for the cannibals, and no one disturbed them, which is why they have grown to the size they are today.
Li Chaoyang estimated that there was no problem at all for such a lake to feed one or two hundred people.
The gunfire under the mountain is still continuous, and there are still shouts and scolding from the people, Li Chaoyang glanced back, if you want to come up from the palm forest, you must climb over a cliff more than 30 meters high, the terrain is quite steep, if someone guards the platform, then no one wants to come up.
The platform is rich in resources and the terrain is dangerous, making it a perfect habitat.
At the moment, it is impossible to turn back, and the only way is to go completely, enter the tribe, and find the satellite phone.
The waterfall is surrounded by swamps, overgrown with aquatic weeds and shrubs, and the thick layers of aquatic weeds and moss almost completely hide the marshland, making it look like a meadow.
If you want to go to the tribe on the other side, you either have to swim through the lake or walk through the swamp.
It was certainly unrealistic to swim through, both of them were carrying things on their backs, and if they wanted to swim through, they had to throw away most of their supplies.
Submachine guns and bullets are life for them, so they can only go down into the swamp. The swamp in front of them was huge, and as long as they flowed a few dozen meters past it, they could go up to the solid ground through the waterfall, and then through the woods, they could smoothly reach the cannibal tribe.
But the swamp is much more dangerous than the lake, Li Chaoyang stepped on it gently, the meadow was soft, like foam floating on the water, the lake water emerged from the weeds, and it was definitely not able to support a person.
Mia took the sapper down and stabbed it into the puddle in front of her, and a palm-sized salmon instantly split in two and surfaced, and the blood quickly spread.
Mia picks up the salmon and throws it into an open water a few meters away.
"Whoa!"
A black figure suddenly appeared, it was a huge crocodile, the crocodile opened its big mouth and swallowed the salmon in one bite, and quickly disappeared with a few swings of the head, the water rippled, and in a blink of an eye it regained its calm.
Beneath the seemingly peaceful surface of the water, there is a huge killing opportunity.
There is no doubt that as long as they are fresh into the water, these crocodiles will not hesitate to attack.
"Are you afraid?" Mia asked.
"You're not afraid?" Li Chaoyang asked rhetorically.
He didn't believe anyone would dare to fight a crocodile underwater.
"I'm afraid, but it's not impossible."
Saying that, Mia took off her backpack, turned the compressed biscuits out of the bag, broke them and scattered them into the puddle in front of her, and the salmon in the water were immediately attracted by the biscuits, and swam out from under the aquatic weeds.
Mia wields a sapper shovel and chops salmon in the water like wood, and she wants to catch fish.
"Help, get the fish up." Mia said.
Li Chaoyang hurriedly leaned over and scooped up the salmon that Mia had chopped to death and threw it in the open space.
There are too many fish in the lake, in addition to salmon, there are some other fish, and some of the colorful fish Li Chaoyang has never even seen it, and it is estimated that it is a native species.
"I understand why the vegetation on this island is so dense, it is estimated that it is because of these volcanoes, volcanic ash is rich in nutrients needed by plants, and the fertility is far beyond the ordinary soil, so such trees grow very large, and the water vapor collected by these trees has turned into fog, and it is shrouded around Elysium all year round, surrounding Elysium, and it is far away from the mainland and not on the main channel, so no one has found it for so many years, and this place has formed its own small ecology, With abundant rainfall and abundant products, it is simply a gathering place that primitive tribes dream of. ”
Li Chaoyang sighed from the bottom of his heart, he has been to many places for adventure, but there has never been a place more exciting than Elysium, where the vegetation is dense, the natural environment is harsh, and the species are rich and diverse far beyond his imagination, and being in it is like coming to a wild world.
"It should be said that it is the second Caribbean of piracy, in essence, Caribbean pirates have existed in name only, they have nowhere to hide, they have to rely on surrounding countries and forces, they are no longer pure pirates." Mia said.
"What do you mean by pure pirate?"
"It's a free pirate, no one is restrained, no need to bow to the surrounding countries, just like the kind of pirates in the movie, like Jack Sparrow, eat meat, drink, play with women, pirates also have their own souls and wills, they are not dogs for people to drive, but there are almost no people who can really do this, even if the Somali gang has long been boneless, completely reduced to other people's tools, I despise them, if this place is for me to take care of, I will definitely make it a pirate paradise, To be a welcoming haven for all pirates. ”
Mia's face was full of longing, but in fact it was impossible, not to attach to others, not to choose the side of the team, only death greeted them.
This is the age of information, no country will allow such a pirate base to threaten itself to exist, and it is impossible for pirates to resist the attack of the country's armed forces.
It didn't take long for the two of them to catch more than a dozen fish, large and small.
"Are you going to use these fish to kill crocodiles? If we shoot, we will definitely get the cannibals in mind, and if we are discovered, we will be in trouble. Li Chaoyang said.
"Why do you have to shoot? Haven't you ever seen fried fish? ”
With that, Mia threw the fish into the lake, one at intervals.
The blood spread rapidly in the lake, and although the crocodiles had poor eyesight, their sense of smell was unusually sensitive, especially the smell of blood.
The water surface that had just been calm immediately became lively, and the crocodiles lurking at the bottom of the water rushed over, poked their heads out of the water, and swam quickly towards this side with their fat bodies twisted.
In the blink of an eye, several crocodiles were drawn together, frantically snatching the poor food.
The corners of Mia's mouth hooked up a sneer, took out three grenades and pulled out the latch at the same time, she didn't throw them away immediately, but waited for two seconds, so that the mine would explode the moment it entered the water, which could not only reduce the sound of its explosion, but also maximize the power of the grenade.
Mia has seen this kind of thing countless times since she was a child, and she knows it very well, so she has long been familiar with what to do.
The grenade slashed through the air in a parabola and fell into the crocodile pile, quickly sinking into the water.
"Boom!"
With a muffled sound, the grenade exploded in the water, splashing a large splash, and the dead branches and rotten leaves under the water were also lifted, Li Chaoyang and Mia squatted down at the same time and turned their backs, and the splash splashed all over them, and it was like rain.
Several crocodiles on the water surface were killed on the spot, some turned over to reveal their white bellies, and some lay in the water, the water surface was quickly stained red with blood, and the injured crocodiles fled one after another and disappeared under the water waves.
"Let's go."
Mia put on her backpack and went down into the water, still holding a few grenades in her hand, the bottom of the lake was very deep in the mud, and Mia stepped into the lake to reach her chest.
Li Chaoyang followed, holding Bobosha in his hand and breaking the back behind.
The explosion scared away the newly gathered crocodiles, but attracted more crocodiles of unknown origin, who believed that blood meant food, whether of the same kind or of the same kind.
Mia throws a grenade into the water every few steps.
The grenade exploded at a depth of more than a meter underwater, far less powerful than the previous three grenades, and its main role was not to kill crocodiles, but to drive them away, after all, killing one crocodile would attract more crocodiles.
The aquatic plants in the water are too thick, Mia's speed of action with a grenade was greatly slowed down, Li Chaoyang took the initiative to go to the front when he saw this, and used his strength and physical advantages to open the way in front, the sapper shovel came in handy at this time, there was nothing that a shovel could not solve, it was better than a machete.
The further you go, the deeper the water becomes, and finally it has reached Li Chaoyang's neck, and Mia is completely unable to move, swimming and aquatic plants will entangle her hands and feet, not to mention that she is still carrying things on her back, Li Chaoyang has to drag Mia with one hand and open the way in front with one hand.
