Chapter 59: The Saber-Toothed Lizard

I know that this is a miasma, which is a phenomenon that often occurs in the primeval forest, because after the death and decay of animals and plants, there is no proper treatment method, and over time it will form a poisonous gas that causes human diseases, and it is now a hot summer, which greatly creates favorable conditions for the formation of miasma here.

Just as Bai Jia Beer told us in advance, the camel hump is very strange, and even the local people will not set foot in it, but the current situation is that this is the only way for us to obtain the water beads, and this first level is considered to be out.

I immediately wanted to open the topographic map of my phone and stare at the approximate extent of the miasma in front of me, so as to judge how long it would take us to get around the hump and walk another way.

But the mobile phone ran out of battery at this time, looking at the speed of the miasma's diffusion, it would not take a moment to get to us, in order to prevent accidents, I hurriedly walked to the direction of the tent, planning to wake up Ye Xiaolu to leave this place first, after all, we only have simple gas masks on our bodies, and we don't know how toxic this miasma is, so we must not take this risk.

At the same time as I walked in, with a 'pop' sound from her tent, I saw that the lights were also on, and I heard Ye Xiaolu say angrily inside: "There are too many mosquitoes here!" ”

I said, "Leave the mosquitoes alone, come out and pack our bags, we need to get out of here first." ”

After speaking, I was next to me to pack some necessities into my hiking bag, and I heard Ye Xiaolu's voice ask me, "What's wrong." ”

I didn't raise my head, put my finger down on the camel, and said, "See for yourself." ”

Ye Xiaolu said strangely: "How could a miasma suddenly appear on the other side of the stream." ”

When I heard this, I was shocked, did I get to the creek? How did the miasma spread so quickly, and immediately looked back to see that the miasma was on the opposite side of the stream, but it was not moving, but the concentration was increasing, and in a few minutes, everything in the jungle on the opposite side was completely covered.

Seeing this, I felt a little more steady, and I also understood why the difference between the two banks of this creek was so big, it turned out that this was the reason for the miasma, and I was not cleaning it up at the moment, so I said to Ye Xiaolu: "With this miasma by your side, you can sleep well at night, but we have to think about how to go." ”

Ye Xiaolu also said with a solemn face: "How long will it take to get around, have you read the map?" ”

I said, "My phone is out of battery, and the paper is not a topographic map, so I can't see it, and the mountain beams in this deep mountain and old forest seem to be dense, but in fact, it is very difficult to climb over."

Ye Xiaolu said: "We don't have this thing during the day, could it be that this miasma will only come out at night, anyway, we can't rush now, it's better to wait for tomorrow morning to make a decision." ”

I nodded and said, "Yes, if we don't disperse by tomorrow morning, we will have to fight for everything, and we still have some medicine on us, so we won't be poisoned to death because we inhale a little miasma." ”

After that, the two of them planned to go back to the tent again, but at this moment, a gust of wind blew, and I saw that the sky was quickly clouded, and I thought to myself: Oops, it looks like it's going to rain, and it's still a heavy rain.

But Ye Xiaolu suddenly smiled at me and said, "It seems that I can't sleep tonight!" After saying that, I saw her pack up her dick.

I asked her strangely, "What's wrong?" ”

Ye Xiaolu said: "Look at the miasma over there. ”

Look at it again, the miasma was blown by the wind, obviously lightened a lot, and in addition to a period of heavy rain, it will definitely disappear, or the girl is careful, I thought it was a burden to take the girl, but now it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

After the two of them packed up, put on their gas masks, put on raincoats and sat and waited for the rainstorm to come, as the fire was completely extinguished by the rainstorm, I took out a rope and said to her: "Tie it to the body, and then the two of us can't be separated, and we can save each other when we encounter a swamp. ”

On this trip, we each brought two strong flashlights, one was the size of an ordinary palm, and the other was as long as an electric shock baton for self-defense, and then I saw that the miasma was almost gone, so I walked in front and went directly into the jungle.

The journey is completely different now, because the forest of this camel peak seems to be uninhabited for a long time, so the bushes and grasses grow extremely crazy, and before we have gone far, Ye Xiaolu and the bare skin of the two of us have already been scraped out several times.

She is not pretentious when she arrives as a girl, she has never hummed, and the speed is not slow, both of them want to hurry out of this place, but fortunately, the quality of the jacket on our body is really good, and those branches are scratched on it and there is not even a mark left, otherwise even if you can go out, the clothes on your body will be about the same as barefoot.

The raindrops the size of beans clanged on the mountaineering helmet, and the muddy section under my feet made it very annoying to walk deep and shallow, and I couldn't stop cursing.

Ye Xiaolu is only five meters away from me behind the rope, and it will be much safer to follow my footprints, because the rain is too heavy, as soon as I raise my head slightly, the raindrops will pour into my body along my face, and I have been walking with my head down, because there are more towering cedar trees here, and it is quite smooth to walk under the trees.

At this moment, Ye Xiaolu behind me gently pulled the rope a few times, and I turned my head back and asked her, "What?" ”

"Have you ever noticed that we seem to be getting closer and closer to that hump," she said. ”

I looked up, really, it was two o'clock in the middle of the night after I looked at my watch, damn, I said that I was going to walk around, go around, but this majestic rain lowered my head, I forgot the direction, and I punched the tree next to me in a hurry.

Then I heard a snap, something seemed to have smashed on my mountaineering helmet, listening to the feeling, it shouldn't be a fruit, the fruit is very hard, and it is no different from a stone when it is smashed down from a certain height, just as I was about to touch it, I heard Ye Xiaolu whisper behind me: "Don't use your hands, look at that thing should be a lizard, obviously it was resting on the tree just now for you to shoot down." ”

I felt the thing moving around my head, and seemed to be looking for a way to get out of my head, so I asked, "Then what should I do, I can't stay here all the time." ”

At this time, I didn't even dare to move my head, but judging by the feeling of the rope, she must have searched for something, and after a few seconds, she seemed to feel her pull a stick out of the mud and whisper to me, "I'm going to knock this thing away now, you must not move." ”

I swallowed and spat, and said, "Be punctual, don't suffocate me." ”

Ye Xiaolu didn't speak, a few quick steps behind him, and I listened to a thumb-thick stick whistling from my head next to my ear, but with the 'click', the weight on my head did not lighten.

Then I heard Ye Xiaolu say in a frightened voice: "This is a saber-toothed lizard, it bit off the stick." ”

Before I could reply, the rope tied to my waist immediately straightened, I knew she was retreating, but I was not surprised, but I couldn't wait for the saber-toothed lizard to take the initiative to bite me, gritting my teeth, I immediately stretched out my left hand and grabbed the saber-toothed lizard's tail, because the stick just now was hit from my right side, since it can bite off, it proves that its head is on the right and its tail is on the left.

I moved quickly, but I didn't expect that the thing didn't weigh much on my head, but it was so heavy when I threw it, and it took so much force that it flew four or five meters, and according to the flashlight, the saber-toothed lizard was really like its name, and it opened its mouth at me and bared out two rows of jagged sharp teeth.

Ye Xiaolu also came to my side, my fingers scratched my arm in severe pain, I thought she was scared by this thing, so I wanted to comfort her a few words, but she shook her head again and again and said: "No, this saber-toothed lizard, like mice, has always been in groups, there can't be only one, we have to kill it, otherwise it will call over more, and we will be in trouble." ”

Without waiting for me to react, he untied the rope around his waist, turned off the flashlight, picked it upside down, hit the fire, the electricity sizzled, and carefully touched the saber-toothed lizard, I couldn't let her take a risk, and touched her right side too.

The sword ruler lizard was not afraid of people, and when he saw Ye Xiaolu walking towards it, he also crawled towards Ye Xiaolu with his mouth open, but his body seemed to be a little bulky, and he was not moving quickly, while the two of them were about to face each other, I saw that the sword ruler lizard paid attention to it, and immediately took a few steps forward, ran in front of Ye Xiaolu and gave the saber-toothed lizard an electric baton.

The electricity struck the saber-toothed lizard and it screamed in pain, and the air smelled of burnt flesh, and in a moment it was dead.

The bloody facts once again proved how correct it was to take Ye Xiaolu on this trip, after I killed the saber-toothed lizard on the ground, countless 'booms... 'The sound of the footsteps running fast.

We didn't say a word, we raised our legs and ran, the rain was still so heavy, there was no sense of reduction, we ran desperately forward, but how fast could we run, carrying a heavy hiking bag, and the mud under our feet was like a whirlpool, and it took a lot of strength to pull it out when we stepped into it.

Within ten minutes, the group of saber-toothed lizards had already caught up, I put away the strong flashlight, pulled out the sapper shovel inserted in the bag, and began to slap constantly, Ye Xiaolu also took out a diving dagger, and kept waving it at the lizard close to her, but fortunately, she was carrying a short bag, which was a lot lighter and could run.

We understand that in the face of so many saber-toothed lizards, there is only one way to escape in this environment, which is to go up the mountain and occupy the commanding heights first.

It is also an advantage of the clumsiness of the saber-toothed lizard, although there are many of them, but they are not very fast, and there is no intention of burying us in one swarm, plus they can occasionally run on their backs, and the speed does not fall.

Just kept running and fighting, Ye Xiaolu and I didn't know how many bites we were, to digress, the quality of this expensive thing is good, under the double protection of the raincoat and jacket on the body, the saber-toothed lizard teeth are so sharp that they didn't do anything to the two of us, but the girl's physical strength obviously can't keep up with me, I didn't mean to get rid of her, but I unconsciously ran in front of her.

The hump was getting closer and closer, and the saber-toothed lizards around seemed to feel tired of running, except for those who were close to them who were constantly trying to attack, and those in the distance who had been running with us for so long had gradually left a lot.

Seeing this scene, I was overjoyed, and my strength came up a lot, and I turned my head to Ye Xiaolu and said, "Hold on a little longer, and you will be able to break the siege immediately." ”

But when I finished speaking, and turned my head back, because of the excitement of running, I didn't notice that there was a wooden beam in front of me, so I crashed directly into it, and fell on it.

Because I didn't eat a mouth full of mud with a mask, but of course the saber-toothed lizards around me would not let go of this opportunity, and took this opportunity to pounce on me one after another, I quickly knelt up and flew the nearest one, trying to get up quickly, damn, but I couldn't get up.

I looked down, because when I knelt just now, my knees were too stressed, and both calves were swallowed by the mud under my feet, and at this time it was as if I was being sucked, and the harder I worked, the more I couldn't move.

Damn, didn't I fall into the swamp, why am I so unlucky, why do I die either by raising my hand or kneeling.

What-a-fucking-day!
