Chapter 63: Crossing the River in Danger
After all, the piranha encountered now is larger than the piranha encountered in the waters of the "water dragon", and it is more ferocious, although the previous piranha is frightening, but after all, it is a normal fish, with scales and a normal body shape, and the piranha encountered now is not only too mutated in body shape, but also scaleless, and the mouthparts are exactly the same as crocodiles.
"Let's call it the Scissor Piranha, I guess it's a hybrid variant with a crocodile." Wang Ziming's indifferent voice came from the wireless communication system of the helmet.
"Damn, this ancient man can really pull calves, and he has nothing to eat and support? What are you doing with all this stuff? Niu Gang was angry at the attack of the piranha, and began to curse the ancients.
"There are still a few branches in front, and it is estimated that there will definitely be this kind of piranha, in my opinion, let's hurry up and get through, so as not to have too many dreams at night." Bai Yunfei looked at the misty scene in front of him, and there was always a hidden sense of danger lingering in his heart, lingering.
Everyone knew in their hearts that they didn't know that there were piranhas in this inconspicuous branch that seemed to be like a small ditch just now, so Bai Yunfei hurriedly swam over, and the luck component was also high, but this time he couldn't say anything to let him take this risk.
But this time there is no need to worry too much, because in the second branch, everyone actually found the corpse of the Rémy Martin that was chased by the giant poisonous bee before, and at this time, the vicinity of this corpse has become "boiling water", and there are countless piranhas with crocodile mouths frantically biting this corpse, making this water area like boiling water.
"Quick, take advantage of this opportunity, hurry over, and when they finish eating that dead horse, we will have a hard time." Bai Yunfei decisively gave the order to cross the river.
"But what do you do? It must be very dangerous for you to go through like this. Li Yulan asked him worriedly.
"It's okay, I guess the piranhas in this branch are all gathered at that dead horse, let's hurry up." Bai Yunfei's voice raised again.
Then he threw himself into the river with a "plop" and swam to the other side of the river.
There were still sporadic piranhas swimming in the river, but instead of attacking Bai Yunfei, they smelled the blood and swam frantically towards the dead horse's corpse.
This time, Bai Yun flew to the opposite shore and pulled the rope first, but this end of the rope was tied to the leg of the dead horse's corpse exposed on the water by Niu Gang.
The piranhas bit fiercely, not caring whether the pile of flesh was moving or not, and when they reached the shore, when everyone dragged the corpses that were almost left with the skeleton of bones to the shore, they actually brought several piranhas, and the others stretched out their "crocodile mouths" in the water, "clicking" desperately biting.
The piranhas that had been brought to shore were tumbling around, and in a few moments they all jumped back into the water.
Among the weeds and shrubs on the riverbank, the "Eight Immortals" expedition team dragged the huge dead horse carcass to the last branch.
On the other side of this last branch is the marshland
Here you can clearly see the traces of the trampling of the Rémy Martins rushing through the swamp in a panic, and also see a few unlucky Rémy Martins lying in the swamp and becoming corpses.
The people pushed the dead horse's corpse, which was almost a skeleton of bones, into the branch, and in a few moments the water boiled.
After tossing and turning for half a day, they were also very tired, so they all sat in the shadows of the bushes on the riverbank and watched them compete for food.
"Damn, when we find the tomb of the old calf of the King of Wei, take his treasures, and when I come back, I will catch a few of these piranhas." Niu Gang said there with a big grin, and then picked up a stone and threw it into the fish, and after being hurt by the piranha, not only did not flinch, but even more ferociously tore the flesh from the bones.
"Did you catch this terrible fish? Want to taste it? Lu Wuyang asked puzzled.
"Hehe, I'll take back my dormitory and make a big fish tank out of glass as a pet." Niu Gang's face was excited.
"Poof!" Everyone almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of old blood, spit it on his face, and he was really speechless for his deformed and perverted hobby, and no one spoke to refute him.
When the piranha had eaten the corpse and everyone had rested, they swam into the water while the fish were still around the corpse and gnawed.
After crossing the branch without danger, everyone stood at the edge of the swamp, and the corpses of several Rémy Martins not far away were still moving, apparently not dead.
"Strange ball, this strange horse with a human head, why can he speak human words?" Old Ghost Su asked Wang Ziming very puzzled.
Wang Ziming immediately showed a very embarrassed expression, and said: "I really can't answer you, I remember that in the pitch-black Tongwang Cave before, those low-level slime monsters can speak human language, but it seems to be just that 'Kunwusa'." Who knows how the ancient perverted researchers trained them to be able to speak human words. ”
What exactly that "Kunusa" is is still an unsolved mystery, but everyone has a hunch that unless this unsolved mystery does not appear again and disappears, once it appears again, when its mystery is solved, it will be an astonishing discovery.
It is a very dangerous thing to cross the swamp, some places seem unsafe, but it may not be so dangerous, and some places seem to be safe, but once you set foot on it, you will be trapped in it, and the more you struggle, the deeper you will fall until you are completely trapped, waiting for the quiet arrival of death.
Everyone was worrying about how to cross this dangerous swampy waters, and they saw the green grass and green waves, and the dying and struggling horses, moving a little abnormally, and when everyone looked closely, they found that some of the heads were trapped in the mire, sinking deeper and deeper, and were struggling in vain, while some were not, but they were actually being bitten and eaten by several crocodiles.
The reason why I didn't see the existence of crocodiles before was that everyone's attention was fixed on the edge of the swamp, wondering how to get there, and second, these crocodiles were so camouflaged that if they didn't move, they would be no different from the surrounding scenery, and it would be difficult to detect them
Existential.
Now they began to bite at the dying horses before they were discovered, but they were taken aback when they found out.
These crocodiles are huge, one size bigger than the usual crocodiles you see when you visit the zoo, and the most amazing thing is that not only do these crocodiles have nine tails, but they also have a pair of ugly meat wings on their backs! These nine-tailed crocodiles scrambled to devour the flesh of the Rémy Martin while flapping the pair of ugly meat wings, but apparently the meat wings were just an "ornament" and had no flying effect, so after fanning for a long time, their bodies did not even raise half a point.
"What's the matter? What's the matter? Niu Gang has always been a problem and doesn't like to use his brain, and asked Bai Yunfei in a bit of a circle.
"It's easy to do." Bai Yunfei said calmly: "Follow the hoof prints of those remy horses, and it won't be a big problem." ”
"That's right, I just saw these dead horses, I thought this swamp was dangerous, those live horses that ran over, their heavy bodies, so thin legs, they were okay to step on in it, we must be able to get by." Lu Wuyang shouted excitedly, obviously the ideas provided by Bai Yunfei had already made him pause.
"It's not all fine, these locally-grown Rémy Martins must have been familiar with and adapted to the environment here, and can basically avoid the dangerous traps in those swamps, those who fall into them are all crowded with each other when they are running wildly, and they are squeezed into the traps, such a large group of horses, through such a dangerous swamp, if you don't die a few, that's called abnormal." Bai Yunfei still said calmly.
Everyone nodded their heads one after another, agreeing with Bai Yunfei's judgment.
So everyone decided to move forward along the hoof prints of those Rémy Martins, in fact, it should be said that they were trapped in the mud of the horses' thighs, after all, it was not as simple as a shallow hoof print, in fact, those places that did not trap the horses were also very trapped, nothing more than not reaching the level of being trapped and unable to extricate themselves.
But everyone was very hesitant and afraid, first, because they were carrying so much equipment, and the weight was great, and the pressure was great, and second, the mutant crocodiles who were devouring the flesh of Rémy Martin were not far from the "road" composed of mud nests, and it was impossible not to be attacked by those crocodiles.
"Yunfei, look, what should I do?" A trace of ruthlessness flashed on Cao Longxuan's face, he should have been annoyed by the situation in front of him.
Bai Yunfei looked at the crocodiles feasting on both sides of the "road", his mind was racing rapidly, and then said:
"We don't have much ammunition, it's not a last resort, we can't waste it easily, these crocodiles can be shot with guns, but some bullets must be wasted, but the future is uncertain, and how much danger there is is not yet known, it is necessary to keep ammunition for self-defense, so it is better not to use it." In my opinion, after being in distress in that 'ghost forest', although some of our torches were lost, there were still a few left, so it was better to light them three or two, fire is such a thing, there are almost no animals that are not afraid, it is estimated that even mutant animals have a natural fear of fire. So we fended up with torches, and the guns were ready
, once the torch can't cope with it, shoot it with a gun. ”
"Yun Fei's words are exactly what I want." Cao Longxuan nodded with satisfaction.
So Su Laogui, Lu Wuyang and Wang Ziming each raised a lit torch and pointed at the crocodiles on both sides of the "road", while the rest held submachine guns in their hands and were ready to shoot at any time.
Walking in the swamp is really very difficult, and the roots of the mud and water weeds that seem to be sturdy, I think I can step on the feet of people, but when you really step on them, you will find that they are not as strong as you imagined, but they will sink into the deep when you step on them, and then pull the leg out with difficulty, and so on, it is unspeakably miserable.
In some places, it looks like a puddle, and you can see through the clear water that the bottom of the water is muddy, which is estimated to be very dangerous, but when you step on it, although it will sink down, it will not sink deep and step on the hard bottom.
This is the secret swamp, which is impossible to judge, and can only be driven by luck.
Moreover, everyone once again heeded Bai Yunfei's warning and did not take off the individual combat system to prevent encountering unknown dangers in the swamp, but in this way, everyone's actions were even more difficult, after all, it was no easier to wear this bulky thing than just wearing an ordinary dress.
Fortunately, there was a group of Rémy Martins galloping past, leaving behind a large wide "road", which can be regarded as risking their lives and probing the safe path for the eight members of the "Eight Immortals" expedition team for free, from this point of view, everyone should also thank these ugly and weird Rémy Martins.
