Chapter 22: Ghost Mist Blood Swamp

The lump of soil in the fat man's mouth is the soil detonator used by the hunters in the mountains and forests to blow up the mountains and open the land, and a few of them are tied together and stuffed into the cracks of the mountain rocks, which saves a lot of effort, but these things have been less in recent years, after all, the state is controlling, and it is illegal to make and carry these things privately.

I had a little calculation in my heart, and I considered one by one which of the three waves of people who had entered the mountain before us might do such a thing—of course they wouldn't, and the purpose of the archaeological team was not to destroy; The last wave was described by the proprietress as a person who entered the mountain alone, and it is estimated that it is impossible to make such a big move, I am afraid that it was done by the first wave of middle-aged men in camouflage uniforms who entered the mountain, and obviously in addition to the archaeological team, the purpose of the other two waves of people is only afraid that they are also going to Yin Gu.

Could it be a grave robber who also received the rumor?

Thinking of this, I asked Cha Si if there was any other route to Yin Valley besides this mountain stream trail full of rocks that could no longer be traversed, Cha Si took the topographic map and looked at it for a long time, and said to me.

"There is a way to go, but there is ......"

Cha Si told us that there was another shortcut to take if we didn't go through the mountain stream, and that it was much faster than the mountain stream trail, but that there was a problem with that shortcut, and there was a haunted swamp on the way.

"What's the ghost fog?" When a few administrators heard our discussion, Xiao Chen picked up a gap and asked.

Since it's a swamp, then the ghost fog should be a miasma. I frowned, the miasma was okay to say, we all prepared gas masks, I'm afraid of how to cross the swamp, but the light pestle is not a way here, I simply deployed, and let Cha Si take us to the swamp, anyway, there is no way out now, what is the situation, go over and see first.

When we arrived at the edge of the marsh, it was already nine o'clock in the night, and I saw that this was the end of the day, so I beckoned everyone to set up tents in the woods on the edge of the marsh and rest for the night, and the order of the vigil remained the same, and at about eleven o'clock the fat man and I found eight or nine branches and trunks about two meters long and with the thickness of a wrist from the woods, and cut them for tomorrow to be used as a probe stick, and the fat man kept a heart, and sharpened both ends of all the sticks, so that they could be used as both probe sticks and long-handled weapons in the swamp; I wrapped a lot of strips of cloth around the other end of the trunk, which would have saved someone's life if they had fallen into the mud.

The next night, except for the fact that there seemed to be a red mist looming in the depths of the swamp during my vigil, nothing strange happened, and then I checked with the fat man to check Siyi, and they also saw it, but the night vision was limited, and they couldn't see it very clearly, and they couldn't tell what it was, I was worried that it was caused by the miasma being too thick, and before leaving, everyone was almost armed to the teeth, and there was basically no skin on the body exposed before it was over.

The swamp is about the size of a football field with the naked eye, but fortunately there is a small dirt bag in it, and I see that there are some blight-like trees on it, which resemble small islands, and I think the rhizomes of those trees have been gathered for many years, and the size is enough for three or five people to rest. It's a good feeling. Seeing this, I was immediately overjoyed, so it seems that the water level of the swamp is not too deep, and the safety factor will be much higher when walking.

I asked Cha Si and I to go ahead, I was in front of him and behind him, Cha Si said that he was more familiar with the terrain, so I let him take the lead, Cailiu followed behind me, then Xiao Chen and the three administrative staff, the fat man still walked at the back of the line, a group of eight people lined up neatly, one after another with a pestle and a stick and went down to the swamp.

When I got into the water, I found that the swamp was not very deep, almost waist-high to the waist, which was acceptable. We poked the bottom of the water around us with a probe stick, and walked slowly for about ten minutes, except for some bubbles emerging from the depths of the swamp, but when I took a break from a few small dirt bags of long trees, I noticed that those trunks had traces of being entangled, and some of the thicker trunks even left irregular circular tooth marks, which looked a little shocking, and I carefully observed for a long time and did not guess what kind of masterpiece of raptor this was, I had to check the colorful willow and the fat man to make a look, reminding them to pay more attention to what was happening in the trees under their feet. Cha Si and the others understood, and they all grabbed the knives they were carrying in their hands.

A few big men are also quite safe and methodical, no one has fallen behind along the way, and no one has suddenly fallen into the depths of the swamp, saving me a lot of trouble as a leader, I am about to move to the woods on the other side of the swamp, so I beckoned everyone not to be impatient, be careful to sail the boat of ten thousand years, and walk slowly step by step. At this moment, Cha Si in front of him suddenly stopped, and I also saw that a blood-colored mist was slowly rising on the swamp water a few meters away in front of us, and the smoke curled like a blood dragon. My heart sank, and I hurriedly beckoned everyone to put on the gas masks hanging around their necks, this blood mist should be what I saw last night, and most of it is the ghost mist blood miasma that the local people say, it is not a joke to take a sip.

The gas mask is slightly obstructed, the language is also greatly restricted, everyone can only rely on gestures to communicate, I looked back and forth, the swamp water surface is nothing other than this strange blood mist, so I made a gesture to beckon the fat man to look at the back, and then patted Cha Si's shoulder and motioned him to slowly move forward with the team. We wore pullover gas masks, and we wore dense jackets, and everyone wore thicker hiking gloves in addition to medical plastic gloves, so that we could all be buried in the blood mist and lose our lives, so there was nothing the could do.

The more I walked through the sewage and sludge, I found that the more animal corpses and bones were in the muddy water under our feet, and the swamp was a death zone, which was not surprising, but the only thing that made me strange was that these bones had skin and flesh, but they were all like dried corpses that had been drained of water, half floating and half floating in the muddy water around them, which made people look panicked. I was a little concerned, so I poked Cha Si in front of me, wanting him to see what the situation was.

But just as Cha Si looked back and nodded at me, I suddenly caught a glimpse of an oval-shaped water mark behind him that was rushing towards us at nine o'clock.

Since we were in the heart of the swamp, we didn't dare to act rashly, so the eight pairs of eyes could only stare at the oval water marks wandering around us. The water level of the swamp is not very high, although it is only past our waist and abdomen, but it is extremely turbid, and through the gas mask, I can't see what is moving in the water, I thought it was a giant python in the forest at first, I guessed when I came all the way to look at the traces on the trunks of the trees, and now I can conclude that this is most likely the common forest python or python in the rainforest.

The water marks brought up by the thing in the water were as long as a foot, and they were shocked to the eye, and everyone saw it swimming from around Chasi to behind us, and from behind the fat man to the front of the line, and they didn't know what it was or what it wanted to do. At this moment, the fat man picked up the probe stick in his hand and stabbed it towards the top of the oval water mark with an extremely sharp muffled sound.

If it is a giant snake anaconda, although the fat man is risky to do this, but it is understandable, the fat man has always adhered to the fighting concept of striking first, and this time he has already been full of strength and made a dead hand. But what everyone didn't expect was that the thing under the water was cunning and fast, and between the lightning and flint of the fat man's spear, it had already swam out and cut off, and the fat man wanted to stab the head of the thing, but it suddenly pierced the place where it should be the tail.

Finished.

For a moment, my head buzzed and I shouted, "Not good! "I saw that the things in the water were in pain, and I had to roll the entire front half of my body out of the water to a meter high, which is the nature of reptilian snakes, and you suddenly grabbed the dog's tail is a reason. How did I have time to complain that the fat man had missed, so I hurriedly raised the sharp end of the probe stick with my left hand, and grabbed the handle of the Yi knife with my right hand backhand, ready to give a fatal blow to the giant python that leaned out of the water.

Who would have thought that the thing that was nearly two meters long in the water was actually soft and milky white, and the eyes were full of layers of wrinkles, white flowers, like dozens of Michelin tires stacked together, and the body was covered with dense and fine pores, and the thin blood mist diffused from these pores. At a glance, my scalp is fried, what the is this python!

The thing poked out of the water with a very thin, high-pitched hoarse cry that I could hear through my gas mask, and it sounded like some kind of bug, but I couldn't really find out in my mind that any bug could grow to such a terrifying size in the swamp. We were all stunned, and the thing had raised its head, and I saw that it was oval-shaped, and the monster's head was much smaller than its body, and it had mouthparts the size of a human face—what a bug!

It's a lie to say it's not scary, I almost didn't fall into the quagmire when I first saw this thing, but fortunately, Cha Si pulled me, and I relieved myself, I thought to myself that although this thing is terrifying, but the whole body is full of flaws, and the mouthparts are just a little bit, and a few of us still have a slight chance of winning. Thinking like this, I was about to take the lead, not wanting the worm to suddenly swoop down towards the crowd, the mouthparts of the head that were the size of a human face suddenly turned from the inside to the outside, and a huge mouth full of saliva barbs appeared in front of us, the size of a Dongfeng truck tire, and two sharp jaws also churned out of the mouth.

Oh my God!
