Chapter Seventy-Four: Turtles
A few minutes later, a surging army of ants crossed the area.
"Whew~Whew~"
Feeling that he couldn't hold it back, Pang Yuan's head slammed out of the water, his face was swollen and red at the moment, his chest rose and fell violently, and he gasped for breath.
"Is that black ant tide gone?"
The boy took a few breaths, then hurriedly looked around to check the situation.
As soon as I turned my head, I happened to see the figure of a large group of ants leaving on the other side of the waterhole, and the crisis was eliminated.
With a relaxed heart, Pang Yuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, with a heartfelt smile on his face.
"Wow, why are there so many ants on the water?!"
The young man put his mind at ease, and lowered his head to see that on the water around him, there were huge black ants floating, most of them had died, and a few marching ants were still struggling, with teeth and claws, and their ferocity was undiminished.
As far as the eye can see, in the small pool, there are several floating ant corpses not far away, quietly soaking in the water, the density is not large, but the range is very wide, the young man who saw this scene was secretly speechless.
However, the boy didn't have the heart to think about the origin of these big black ant corpses now.
After soaking in the water for a while, Pang Yuan was soaked all over his body, his clothes were sticking to his body, and his legs were still stuck in the thick black mud, slippery and greasy, and he felt very uncomfortable.
With one hand holding a spear to support his body, and the other hand holding down the grass at the edge of the pool, Pang Yuan pulled out his legs from the mud at the bottom of the pool and climbed up with all his might.
During this period, the young man felt as if he had stepped on something under his feet, which was a little hard, which made his heart move, his brows furrowed slightly, and he already had some thoughts in his heart.
"What's in the mud, I'll go down and find out later. ”
The spear was placed on the side of his body, and the boy sat on the ground, and the muddy water was dripping down, and he took off his muddy boots, poured out the muddy water inside, and then rinsed them in the water, and first left them on the grass to dry.
Pang Yuan pulled up his wet pants again, and pulled the two trouser legs to the knee level.
Then, the boy sat on the edge of the small pool, stretched his muddy feet into the relatively clear water, washed away the mud on his skin, soaked his feet comfortably, and quickly recovered his exerted physical strength in leisurely entertainment.
The ant tide had just passed by, and now it was quiet and there was not a single insect chirping sound.
Only occasionally there are birds in the sky passing by, but they are silent, as if they can't bear to break the quiet atmosphere of this area.
He has just passed a crisis, and now he is relaxed, surrounded by cool pool water under his feet, and full of vibrant green trees and red flowers in his eyes, but the young man is extremely comfortable, comfortable, and carefree at the moment.
However.
Happiness gives birth to sorrow, and the ancients did not deceive me.
"Ahh
Pang Yuan was soaking his feet, squinting, leisurely, and suddenly the top of the big toe of his right foot in the water seemed to be bitten by something, and a slight stinging pain came, waking him up.
Encountering a sudden attack, the young man's muscles tensed instantly, his hands supported the grass, his back twisted, and his legs quickly threw himself ashore, bringing a splash.
Pang Yuan also saw clearly the culprit who attacked his big toe, which turned out to be an adult palm-sized mountain turtle, commonly known as "Wang Ba".
I saw that this old turtle was dressed in a light brown back shell, with some unknown textures on it, and its body was flat and oval.
At this time, this guy stretched out his head, and his flat head was full of ring-shaped folds, and at this time, the turtle head was biting Pang Yuan's right big toe, refusing to let go, it looked quite fierce, and his whole body was hanging on the young man's feet.
Pang Yuan shook his right leg, and the turtle refused to let go, but bit harder.
The boy was not angry but happy, and was amused by this guy.
Pang Yuan had heard the old people in the village say that this kind of turtle is an excellent nourishing ingredient, the meat is delicious, rich in nutrition, can nourish yin and yang, activate qi and blood, and the shell on the back can also be used as a medicinal material, the overall effect is very powerful.
A fat female reindeer that was originally captured was devoured by the previous ant tide, and now it is estimated that there are no scum left, and there is no hope, and the boy is still a little worried about dinner.
Now, this stupid turtle has been delivered to the door by itself, which naturally makes the young man surprised and happy, and he can't help laughing, and his heart is happy.
"Haha, I can finally taste something fresh tonight!"
Pang Yuan's eyes were full of smiles, and he pinched one end of the turtle with both hands, not allowing it to resist, and directly pulled this fierce guy off his feet.
The old turtle was still struggling in the big hands of the young man, and his four little claws were waving around in the air, trying to escape the evil control of the big human hand.
Pang Yuan checked the big toe of his right foot, the skin was tough, and the skin was not bitten, but there were a few blood marks from the bite, which didn't look obvious, and it didn't hurt or itch, so there was no need to worry about it at all.
Turning his head, Pang Yuan pressed the turtle's back with one hand, and stretched out his fingers with the other hand to tease it.
Don't look at the size of this old turtle, but the temperament is very fierce, very aggressive, the wrinkled pointed turtle head stretched forward, wanting to bite the finger stretched out in front of the young man, but it failed again and again, and was flexibly dodged by the young man.
Pang Yuanzheng was amusing himself with this turtle, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyebrows suddenly moved, remembering that there seemed to be unknown objects in the underwater mud, and he wanted to go down to see it before.
As soon as he thought of this, Pang Yuan did not delay, stopped the movements in his hand, and did not tease the old turtle again, but turned it over, and his belly was facing the sky.
The old turtle suddenly felt that the world was spinning, his back was on the bottom, his heart was panicked, and he struggled to turn over.
When the young man saw it, he thought about it, and added an extra fist-sized stone to the old turtle's abdomen, firmly pressing it, so as not to run away when he was not paying attention.
After quickly dealing with the old turtle, Pang Yuan leaned down, pulled the trouser legs of his legs up again, tied them tightly one by one, and then prepared to go into the water to find the mysterious object he stepped on before.
