Chapter 218: The Great Octopus
The icy river water wrapped Li Chaoyang's whole body, and he didn't care if there were crocodiles or other fierce beasts in the water, and swam forward vigorously.
The enraged cannibals threw their spears, which entered the water and brought a large blister, but they were immediately swept away by the water.
Some cannibals jumped down after him, and there was a sound of rushing water behind Li Chaoyang, and the cannibals chased after him again.
Unconsciously, Li Chaoyang swam to the middle of the river, he could clearly feel that the flow speed was much faster, and the bottom of the water, which could still be seen clearly, was now invisible, the feet became pitch black, and the surroundings became quiet, Li Chaoyang seemed to have come to a different world.
An invisible fear stretched out of the darkness, and there was a bottomless deep gully in the middle of the seemingly small river, where the water flowed faster and colder.
Floating in the water, Li Chaoyang had a feeling that he would be swallowed at any time, and hurriedly floated up, his lungs were held for a long time, his brain began to be congested, his ears were buzzing, his lungs were like they were about to explode, and his hands and feet seemed to be bound.
Suddenly, there was a light in the darkness, like a large light bulb was slowly floating, and the surrounding water waves quickly separated, and there was no doubt that a big guy came up, and the powerful water pushed Li Chaoyang to the surface.
He didn't have time to take a look at the situation behind him, and immediately swam forward, and a large bubble of water surged behind him, like boiling water.
A large number of fish scattered and fled as if they were crazy, and some of them ran so fast that they even hit Li Chaoyang's body, and there was even a group of dolphins.
Although he didn't see this thing clearly, Li Chaoyang was sure that it must be an incomparably large predator.
The sound of gunfire in his ears pulled Li Chaoyang back, and when he looked up, he found that the cannibals had disappeared without a trace, and crackling gunshots came from the direction of the tribe.
Mia did it.
At this moment, there was a strange sound in Li Chaoyang's ears, as if something had floated up from the water, and when he turned his head, he found that a cannibal woman had raised a spear and stabbed it.
Li Chaoyang shrank his neck in fright, and the spear stabbed through his head.
The woman clenched her spear and rushed over again, she screamed and stabbed randomly, Li Chaoyang surfaced and dodged left and right, but he still couldn't dodge and was hit on his arm, and suddenly the blood flowed like an infusion, and the pain was unbearable.
Li Chaoyang grabbed the spear, pulled the woman over with a fierce force, and kicked the woman in the face with a leg lift, the woman screamed and lost her center of gravity and fell into the water, and the spear was snatched by Li Chaoyang with a slip in her hand.
The cannibal's spear was made from a dry tree trunk, sharpened at both ends, and its penetrating power should not be underestimated.
"Ahh
The woman screamed again, stretched out her hand and cast a look for help, and her body sank as if it was being dragged by something.
"Whoa!"
Something suddenly came out of the water, like a rope wrapped firmly around the woman's neck.
When Li Chaoyang saw that the scalp of the thing was numb, it was actually an arm-thick octopus leg, the cyan octopus leg was distributed with red spots, and the black barb was like a small tiger claw knife, cutting through the woman's skin and stabbing into the flesh.
Immediately after that, another octopus leg was thrown out, dragging the woman to sink continuously.
The woman let out a desperate scream, clutching the octopus leg with both hands and trying to break it open, but to no avail, the octopus leg strangled her neck tighter and tighter, and she began to suffocate, staring at her eyes and screaming weaker and weaker.
It turned out that the predator who had just lurked under the water was actually a large octopus.
It is no longer a rumor that there is a big octopus in the sea, and the king squid can be more than ten meters or even dozens of meters long, weighing more than three tons.
It's just that I didn't expect that such a behemoth would live in this river at the junction of brackish and fresh water.
Judging from its tentacles alone, the creature weighs at least half a ton.
In the blink of an eye, the woman was dragged into the water, and a large amount of blood poured from the bottom of the water, staining the river red.
Li Chaoyang didn't dare to stay any longer and immediately swam to the shore, grabbed a handful of aquatic plants and climbed onto the shore, his whole body dripping with water and holding on to the stones, panting heavily, his legs involuntarily sifting chaff.
Cannibal pirates These are all known dangers, Li Chaoyang can see it, and this big octopus is lurking under the water, and it can't see its appearance clearly, this unknown fear is the real fear, you never know where it is hiding and when it will appear.
The so-called deep-sea phobia is not because you are underwater, but because you don't know about your surroundings, which is the fear of the unknown, and it is also the most primitive fear of human beings.
Without resting, Li Chaoyang returned to the woods again.
The gunshots were getting closer and closer, shouts were coming and going, and Li Chaoyang walked quickly through the woods with a carbine.
When he got closer, he found that the cannibal tribe had become a mess at the moment, and the pirates surrounded the treehouse in the middle, and there were several cannibal corpses lying in the clearing, and there were three fewer pirates who were originally tied to the platform.
What is surprising is that it was not Mia who shot, but cannibals!
The cannibals who fired were all women, and these people had white circles painted on their shoulders, and they did not rush up without brains, but hid behind various covers, some hid in houses, stretched out the barrels of their guns and aimed at the tree houses, some climbed into the trees, and some clinged to the trees.
Rushing to the front was the girl with a sapphire necklace.
She held a Colt pistol in both hands, and was half-crouched under the stone steps, gesturing with her hands, and she was actually directing the battle in sign language. Li Chaoyang counted through the scope and found that the cannibals had a total of twelve weapons, most of which were rifles, including the Japanese-style Haruta submachine gun that had long been eliminated.
No one would have imagined that these primitive people, who were far away from human civilization, had actually learned the fighting methods of modern people, from the trenches to the sentry layout, and the siege operations in front of them.
It seems that Sakata and they left these cannibals not only weapons and equipment, but also combat experience.
Perhaps someone fell into the hands of the cannibals and became their captives, giving everything he had learned to the cannibals in order to survive.
In the previous battle on the beach, those cannibals rushed like reckless men, and Li Chaoyang secretly laughed at them.
At this moment, he finally understood that the women of this tribe were the real elite, occupying the dominant position, and the status of men was much lower than that of women.
Li Chaoyang groped all the way to the edge of a thatched house, the boat was a few meters away from him, but it was almost impossible to tow the boat away at this time, the lifeboat at this moment became a bunker for the cannibals, and several cannibal men were hiding behind the boat with spears in their hands and were transporting thatch in the direction of the tree house.
The thatch was piled up under the tree, and Li Chaoyang understood, this is to burn the tree!
Mia, they're probably really in trouble this time, she never dreamed that cannibals would use guns.
Li Chaoyang has already been sold once, so he won't make a move this time, and it is impossible for him to rescue them alone.
What's more, Li Chaoyang can't wait to solve her with his own hands, it's not bad to not let go of the black gun at this time.
He looked around, and suddenly he noticed that there seemed to be something like a mobile phone on the floor of the thatched hut.
If you look closely, it's a satellite phone!
Li Chaoyang thought that he had seen it wrong, and blinked his eyes to be sure that he was not mistaken, and placed a satellite phone on the ground covered with palm leaves. The black fuselage, the light gray antenna, is very well preserved, this is a new machine that has not been opened for a long time? 》
Could it be that cannibals are still in contact with the outside world?
This possibility is relatively small, and the only possibility is that it is obtained from some modern person, such as Li Chaoyang and them, or a pirate.
Looking at Li Chaoyang again, he made a new discovery, and there was a camouflage beach hat hanging on the wall, which was a pirate's hat.
If the satellite phone can be used, Li Chaoyang will be able to get in touch with the outside world, and it will only be a matter of time before he is rescued.
It's more valuable than any other ship, it's simply the most valuable thing on the island.
He didn't expect to lose the ship but find the satellite phone, and he lost the mulberry elm in the east, and God was really kind to him.
