Text Volume 3 Mora Wet Swamp_Chapter 173 The Calm Before the Storm
"Who are these people?" When the figures of the men completely disappeared from the water, Terry asked.
I looked back and smiled: "You ask me, but I don't know ...... either"
However, judging from the way those people were dressed, it was obvious that they were different from the others on the island, so that strange white robe meant that they were a force? Or is it a symbol of race?
Of course, none of this mattered, because these people just talked to us for a few words, and didn't do anything else, because we didn't pay attention to it.
I don't know if it's because the humidity is too heavy or because of today's weather, except for some sunshine at noon, and it's been dark since the afternoon.
The whole sky seemed to be coated with a layer of lead, gray, because of the oppression of the sky, our group was not in a very good mood all afternoon, and all of them did not speak.
"It's raining?" I was sitting on the edge of the raft looking at the scenery of this wet swamp when I suddenly felt a wetness on my face.
"Yes, it's raining......"
Liu Linglong put down the bamboo pole in her hand, QR1
At this time, on the surface of the wet swamp, small drops of rain fell on it, rippling, and small circles began to spread.
"It's unfortunate that it rained on the first day...... Terry grumbled, sitting on the raft, and got up and got under the tent.
"Let's find a place to rest, we've rowed for a day, we won't leave tonight, and we're not in a hurry for this day!"
On the first day we entered the Moro Wet Marsh, it was very calm, and we didn't encounter the piranhas, forest snakes, or crocodiles that Liu Linglong mentioned before, but I always felt that it was quiet before the storm.
We found a place where the water grass was deep and paddled the raft into it.
At this time, the hook rope given to us by the shark girl came in handy, we threw the hook rope into the middle of the aquatic weeds, let the iron hook wrap around it, and tied one end of the rope to the raft, so as to avoid the raft drifting randomly when we were not paddling.
In the evening, when the rain became heavier, all six of us huddled under the tent and began to eat wild boar.
"Wouldn't it be too calm?" Rong Zhenxiang seemed to have no appetite, and there was some worry in his eyes.
"I don't know, this Mora Wet Swamp is also a dangerous place on a desert island, but there is no today? I don't believe it anyway! Terry took a bite of the wild boar and didn't look good.
I said, "You two are right, the place where we are now is not very free, even if we are safe now, we must prevent danger from happening at any time, so ......"
My gaze swept over everyone's faces: "Let's follow the division of labor when we rowed the raft before, and look at the surrounding situation, and the others, if they want to rest, they will rest first, we will stay here tonight for the time being, and then act tomorrow morning......"
Liu Linglong said: "Shall we row for a while and see if there are any bushes or anything like that?" ”
I shook my head: "If there were, I would have seen it a long time ago, but now when you look at it, the water surface is bare, what else can you see except those aquatic plants that have grown?" ”
Liu Linglong bowed her head and said nothing.
At this time, I accidentally noticed that the little girl's face was actually very heavy.
I frowned and asked, "Little sister, what kind of expression do you have?" What do you want to say? ”
The little girl looked a little worried, and she gestured to me, but neither of us understood, which only made my curiosity even stronger.
Seeing that I didn't understand her gestures, the little girl grabbed my hand and wrote the words "I feel in danger" in my palm.
"What?" I looked at the little girl with amazement.
Rong asked curiously, "What did she tell you?" ”
"She said it felt dangerous......" I smiled wryly.
After Rong Zhenxiang listened, his face was heavy, and he hung his head and did not speak.
To put everyone at ease, I said, "Well, let's paddle a little longer and see if there's a suitable place for us to rest tonight......"
Everyone agreed with me, so Terry used his iron hook to cut the aquatic weeds wrapped around the hook, and I paddled forward with Liu Linglong.
It was getting overcast, the drizzle was turning into a heavy rain, and I knew I couldn't paddle any further.
I saw Liu Linglong on the other side of the raft, her hair wet and stuck to her collarbone.
"Okay, stop, stop, it's right here......" The rain was so loud that Liu Linglong didn't hear what I said, and asked loudly at the other end of the raft, "What did you say?" ”
I was helpless and shouted, "I said, stop here......"
"Good!"
So, Liu Linglong got under the tent, and I took out the hook and rope from the raft and threw it into the water and grass.
"No, it looks like I can't paddle any further, it's raining so hard that I can't even see the road in the water......" I said to them as I entered the tent.
Yes, the raindrops the size of beans hit the water surface with a splash, and we can't even see the aquatic plants on the water, let alone the waterways, and it will be troublesome if the raft accidentally gets stuck in the aquatic plants.
I think it takes a certain amount of courage to get us into the water to cut down the weeds in this water.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a voice in front of me.
At first, I thought I was hallucinating, but then the voice came again.
"You ...... Did you hear anything? Before I could speak, Rong Zhenxiang said first.
Terry nodded as well, "I seem to hear someone shouting something, but it's too small to hear clearly......"
I also said, "I just heard it, it looks like it's nearby!" ”
"Would you like to check it out?" Liu Linglong looked at me.
I shook my head: "Even if it's someone from other teams, we have no obligation to help them, you have to know that now we are all mud bodhisattvas crossing the river......"
However, I saw a hint of strangeness flash on Terry's face, and I frowned and asked, "Terry, what do you want to say?" ”
Terry smiled, "It's nothing, I'...... I think you're right, we are not obligated to help others right now! ”
"Okay, everyone calm down, let's rest here......"
The sky was finally dark, but there seemed to be a faint blue light in the swamp, and it was not that I couldn't see my fingers.
The voices I heard this afternoon, I don't know if it was a voice or a cry for help, so let's discuss it for an afternoon, maybe there are other teams who want to go in the direction of the Snake God Valley?
