Chapter 138: Entering the Bayou

There are soldiers who bury their heads in silence, it has nothing to do with nationality, and everyone who dies in the sea is regrettable.

"Everyone, be vigilant!"

Gordon had sensed the danger approaching, and listening closely underneath the ship, he could hear some subtle noise, and the bones of his predecessors were a warning.

The Jackdaw's sailors clenched their short guns in their hands, drew their scimitars in their other hands, and at this moment, the sound was closer.

Bang!

A dinghy was overturned by a huge crocodile, and the soldier screamed and fell into the water, and more crocodiles surrounded him.

"Fire!"

Burton shouted.

Bang bang!!

Dense gunfire rang out, and countless bullets entered the water.

The carcass of the crocodile gradually floated on the surface of the water, and a large amount of blood stained the waters.

The violent gunfire seemed to directly startle more crocodiles that wanted to get closer, and the scene calmed down for a while, except for the surviving soldiers who had fallen into the water and swam towards the closer boat.

The soldiers were holding their guns and staring at them, and the guns gave them confidence, and some angry soldiers even fired two shots at the crocodile farther away to vent their anger.

"Keep rowing, don't stop!"

Burton commanded, there was already a lot of blood stained here, and the two soldiers had been bitten off in the water, wondering if it would attract more beasts.

Gordon didn't let his guard down, for the noise he had heard earlier was not from a cautious predator like a crocodile, and something else was coming.

"Ahh

The soldiers in the water let out a terrible scream, countless blood quickly spread from the water, and the clicking sound began to surface, becoming more harsh.

"Come on!"

A soldier reached for the oar to the man who had fallen into the water, and the latter pulled it onto the oar.

"Help me, help me!"

Of course, he could feel the dense crowd of creatures in the water pounce on him.

"Pull it!"

Several soldiers also came to help him and tried to pull him up, but the latter let out a terrible scream, his mouth was full of blood, and then he was silent.

The three soldiers retracted the oars, but only the broken upper body remained, from the lungs down, but all of them were gnawed to a bloody blur.

Until death, the soldier did not let go of the hand holding the oars.

"It's a piranha! Get out of here. ”

Jon recognized the piranhas, which had long been active in various rivers in South America.

"Nearest shore!"

Burton gave the order decisively, not because he was afraid, but because he already felt the ferocious fish begin to attack the remaining dinghy.

No, maybe they didn't realize what was up there at all, but under the impact of countless fish, there were already boats that began to seep water.

"Get out of here!"

Gordon looked at the terrifying fish that kept by the dinghy, and there were already piranhas biting wood pulp out of the water.

This small, ugly thing with sharp teeth could instantly eat anything to bones when it swarmed, and he finally knew what was going on with the Spanish soldier on the shore who was left with only white bones.

The sailors paddled towards the shore in embarrassment, and every minute the water was entered, and even piranhas began to eat up the people and corpses in the water, and began to jump out of the water.

Gordon watched as a piranha jumped straight out of the water onto his dinghy, and then kicked it over, well, the piranha bit straight into his shoe, and he couldn't shake it off at all.

Fortunately, it was a boot made of cowhide, which I had bought in La Guaira, and blocked the ferocious bite of the blow, but Gordon's thumb already felt a lot of pressure, and there was a sharp force.

"Damn it. ”

He cursed, it was not easy to use a musket at this time, and it was even more difficult to draw a knife, the space in the dinghy was limited, and the sailors were busy rowing.

Fortunately, this piece belongs to the river, less than forty meters wide, and it will soon reach the shore.

"Ahh

Another scream came, and a sailor was bitten directly on the arm by the piranha, tearing off a large piece of flesh, and the right hand of the paddle instantly lost its strength, and the hateful fish fell into the dinghy and kept jumping, trying to get back into the water.

Gordon helped the rowing sailors over, and then took the oars, they had to get to shore quickly.

At this time, only Quirin, the black cat, was very excited, jumped out of Serena's arms, and began to play with the stranded fish.

In this way, all the dinghys were quickly rowed to the shore, and several more sailors were dragged into the water, which was simply terrible.

Killing people is very simple, but this way of dying starting from the lower half of the body and being gnawed away from all the flesh is really more disgusting than Ling Chi.

The soldiers who came ashore hurriedly dragged the boats ashore so as not to hinder the approach of the ships behind.

With a piranha on one of his feet, Gordon stepped on the slippery ground by the river and dragged the dinghy up with the sailors.

As the last boat came ashore, the river continued to boil for a while before it fell silent, as usual, and no one could have imagined what danger lurked beneath this calm.

Gordon took out the musket at this moment, and then shot the stubborn fish that was still biting his foot, and the bullet penetrated its body, and the latter stopped swinging, but the teeth were already deep in the cowhide.

"Hey, what a damn thing. ”

Gordon could only use his scimitar to pry open the fish's mouth, leaving a regular row of holes in his shoes, as well as a bullet mark.

One of his shots wiped his own shoes straight through his own shoes, almost ruining his own feet.

The sailors who came ashore began to deal with their injuries and then rested.

Alan watched as there were still two piranhas bitten on the oars, and slammed them directly at the dirt.

"Damn, it's scary!"

The fish was stunned, and then kicked so hard that he almost slipped back into the water, pulling on the bush next to him to stop himself.

Gordon looked at Burton, who had come ashore not far away, with a very serious expression.

The Jackdaw's sailors had only four ships, and they happened to be very close to the shore, so they suffered almost no losses, but Burton's side seemed to have suffered some losses.

"How's it going, Brigadier General?"

Burton shook his head, he was not worried about the death of the soldiers, but he felt that the road seemed to be a little too difficult, they had only entered the estuary not long ago, and they had encountered such an incident, and they did not know how many people would die on the way ahead.

"Twelve soldiers died, and the bodies could not be recovered. ”

He said this, and then looked into the river, wondering if it was time to continue on the waterway.

"If you go ashore, the journey can be more tortuous and dangerous. ”

Gordon said this, but he always felt as if something was moving at the end of the view, and he just looked up at random, and he could see that a cyan rattan on it was swimming along the branches, and spit out red letters from time to time, and quickly stopped his movements and whispered: "Don't move, there's something on your head." ”

Hearing Gordon say this, Burton couldn't help but raise his head slightly, and saw the green snake walking in the tree on the right, if nothing else, it was definitely poisonous.

Any big move could cause an instant attack by the viper, and he could only trust Gordon's judgment now.
