A surprisingly large water strider appeared in the turtledove's sight.

The so-called "water strider" is the kind of insect that can run around on the surface of the water with its three pairs of legs, and it is very common, and it can be seen in lakes, wetlands, and swamps, but this one is also too big.

Generally speaking, the size of the water strider is calculated in "centimeters", and it is all in single digits, even their legs longer than their bodies are not more than ten centimeters, but the water strider that appears in the turtledove's field of vision, its body is almost as long as half the palm of the turtledove, not to mention the three pairs of long legs on both sides of the body.

"Suddenly, suddenly, suddenly......"

The huge water strider was just like no one on the swamp's water, waving its long feet one by one, and swaying towards the turtledove.

As the saying goes, "the toad crawls to the surface of the feet, and it is disgusting if it doesn't bite", the turtledove is afraid that it will not be afraid of these insects, the key is that it is a smaller water strider, and the turtledove will be invisible, this one, it is so big that it can almost fry a dish, but it is not impartial to the turtledove, how can the turtledove ignore it.

Even though he knew that the water strider was neither poisonous nor would it bite, it did disgust the turtle dove, so the turtle dove saw that the water strider's long feet were about to touch him, and he bowed slightly, and with a flick of his fingers, the other party was sent flying out.

No matter how big an insect is, it is still an insect, unless it can grow bigger than a turtle dove, otherwise it is still very weak in front of the turtle dove, but after seeing such a big water stair, the turtle dove muttered in his heart.

Is everything in this woods abnormal?

First there was a strange black bird with red eyes, then a huge water strider of extraordinary size, and of course the people who had attacked the vulture castle before, the venomous, massive spiders, as if every creature in the woods was abnormal.

Or it can't be said as if it, because they are really abnormal, at least the turtle dove has not seen a normal animal so far.

Plants were twisted and hideous, insects were unusually large, and animals were strange-looking, and the turtledove came to feel that it might not be a good idea for himself and the insects to flee into the wilderness, into the depths of the forest.

……

After a moment's pause, the turtledove quickly recovered from his cranky state, and he looked back at the little worm still standing on the shore, who gave him a thumbs up, indicating that he had not found anything suspicious for the time being.

The turtledove nodded, and began to move on.

The further you walked, the harder it became, and the depth of the water above did not increase much, but the depth of the silt below increased rapidly, and in the blink of an eye the silt was already above the knees of the turtledove, and the water above the silt had just reached the turtledove's thighs.

It took a lot of effort for the turtledove to barely travel a distance of more than a meter, and not only did the depth of the mud approach the dangerous value, but the depth of the water also began to exceed the turtledove's expectations, and if it continued like this, the turtledove was a little unsure if he could get out of the mud.

"I can't walk!" The turtledove turned around and shouted to the little worm, "The water here is a bit deep, and the mud is almost impossible to step on, what's the matter, what can you do?" ”

The turtledove was telling the truth, in fact, he was already taking a huge risk to be able to walk to this place, and if he was not careful, he could completely fall into the mud, once this was the case, it would be difficult for the insects over there to save the turtledove, and he could only watch the turtledove be swallowed by the mud.

Fortunately, there was only a slight distance between the turtledove and the black thing.

"You wait!"

The little insect on the shore pondered for a moment, as if she had thought of some good idea, only to see her turn and run into the woods beside her, and after a while she ran back again, carrying in her hand a branch that had just been broken, about two meters long.

"Next!"

The worm shouted, and then threw the branch far in the direction of the turtledove, like a javelin.

Getting the branch thrown by the worm, the turtledove looked at it carefully, and felt that the length of the branch should be sufficient, but it was a little too thin, and it was too soft to be of much use, and after two strokes with the branch, the turtledove shouted to the worm again:

"No, no, this one is too soft, change it to a thicker one."

So the little worm burrowed into the woods again, and soon returned, carrying a branch about the thickness of a wrist.

The creature was much heavier than the previous branch, and it took a lot of effort for the bug to break it off, and in order for the turtledove to catch the branch, the bug rolled up his trousers and went down into the swamp, and threw it forward with all his strength, and then threw the branch to the turtledove's side.

With the tools at hand, the turtledove did not need to venture forward, he put the branch under his armpit with his right arm, and then held the branch with both hands, and used it as a pole, and picked at the black thing that was stuck in the mud not far away, and found that the thing was quite heavy, and it seemed to be not light.

"Hey, I don't believe in this evil yet."

Although the stagnant water and silt affected the turtledove's strength, when the turtledove was stumped by this small difficulty, he first took a deep breath, then spat on his hands, and with the strength of his arms, he finally picked up the black thing from the mud.

"I, my God......"

I really don't know, I was startled, and the turtledove picked out of the mud was not anything else, but the corpse of an animal, which looked like some kind of quadruped, but the body was covered with black silt, and it was not clear what it was.

If that were all there was to it, the turtledove would not have been surprised to look like this, for when he had plucked the animal's carcass out of the mud, he was struck to find that there might be more carcasses around it, a staggering number.

The turtledove used the branch in his hand to pick up the corpses that had been hidden in the mud and now finally revealed the tip of the iceberg, and found that most of them were animals, both fresh and rotten to the point of white bones.

But I don't know if these white bones rotted naturally, or if they were eaten by something.

He picked at the branch for a while, and sure enough, as the turtledove expected, he quickly picked out several corpses belonging to the vulture castle from the mud in this swamp, and at this moment, suddenly a gunshot rang out, and the bullet was hitting the water a few meters in front of the turtledove's right, splashing a splash.
