If you look down from a high place, this swamp is like the "Mediterranean" above the head of a middle-aged man, in the middle of the woods, surrounded by lush trees, and turtledoves and insects are standing on the edge of the swamp at the moment.

The turtledove can't figure out why the trail of drag has been spreading here, could it be that there is some mystery hidden in this swamp, if that's the case, the turtledove would rather turn around and go back like this, rather than go to these stinky mud, who knows what will be under the mud, who loves to go, anyway, turtledove doesn't want to go.

At this moment, the little insect next to her suddenly had something, and was beckoning the turtledove to go to her side to take a look.

When the turtledove came closer, he looked in the direction of the worm's finger, but he didn't see anything, he turned his head to look at the worm in confusion, and the worm said:

"Look closely, there's something black stuck in the mud below the surface of the water, over there!"

It is worthy of the little insect with "eagle eyes", her eyesight did throw off the turtledove for several days, under the repeated guidance of the small insect, the turtledove only then through the gap between the duckweed and the aquatic plants floating on the water surface, vaguely saw a small piece of thing peeking out of the silt, the color is pure black, and it is impossible to see what it is.

"You can see this?" The turtledove's expression was obviously amazed at the insect's outstanding eyesight, "But who knows what it is, if you want to figure it out, it looks like you're going to have to wade through the water." ”

Saying that, the turtledove was a million unwilling in his heart, he always felt that there must be some unknown existence hidden in this swamp, wading through the water to check the black thing, which was bound to take a huge risk, although he and the little worm were quite trying to figure out what it was, but the turtledove did not think it was worth the risk.

After all, there was no immediate danger to him or the little worm,—— the black strange bird that was "croaking" had been shot and killed by the worm, and the gunfire didn't seem to attract anything, and the turtle dove and the worm were safe for now, at least on the surface.

It's just that those people in the vulture castle may catch up from behind at any time, so the turtle dove and the little worm have to keep moving deeper into the dense forest, and in order to ensure their own safety as much as possible, they must find a way to understand what the danger they may face next, otherwise they will be so confused that they will probably give their lives here.

So how to deal with the current situation, the turtledove is a little undecided, and at this time, on the other side, the "advance team" is under siege by a large group of plants.

……

"The people of Vulture Castle are in the back," said the little worm to the turtledove, "and listen to the burst of gunfire, and think they must have come across something in the woods, but with their sharp guns, I guess they can solve it, and if you don't want to be targeted by them, don't stand here stupidly." ”

As she spoke, the worm had already bent down and rolled up her trousers, and took off her shoes, and the turtledove saw that she wanted to go into the water, so she hurried over and stopped the worm.

"I think I'll have to let me do this," said the turtledove as he dragged the worm back, "just keep an eye on the shore, and if there is any danger, don't you have a pistol, I'm sure I'm immobile in the mud, and I'll leave the safety to you." ”

The little insect thought that the turtledove was quite reasonable, if he let him go down, he would be able to cover himself by standing on the shore in case of any emergency, but if he went down by himself, the turtledove could only stand here and stare at himself to see that he was unlucky, who let him not use a gun.

"Okay."

nodded, the little insect is not a grinding character, since the turtledove has a point, then let the turtledove go down.

I don't know why, as soon as the toes of the turtledove touch the water, they feel that the water temperature is quite comfortable, neither hot nor cold, but the feeling of their feet wrapped in mud is not very good, sticky.

"You pay attention to the situation around me," the turtledove couldn't help but turn back to the little worm and admonished, "As long as you see anything wrong, don't ask, shoot a few shots first, don't be dragged into the mud by then, you haven't reacted yet." ”

"Don't worry, I'm looking good."

Xiao Worm said very easily, but she had already opened the safety of the pistol, although she had not been loaded for the time being, but in terms of Xiao Worm's proficiency in firearms, not being loaded did not have much impact on the time she fired, and the reason why she was not loaded was because she was afraid that the gun would go off.

Since it is not a gun that he usually uses, the worm is not sure what the performance of this gun is, if it is a "defective product" with defective workmanship, the worm does not want to shoot the turtledove with a fire.

……

The area of this swamp is so large that it looks like a small lake.

Walking slowly on the edge of the swamp, the turtledove had to make sure that he would not sink into the mud next before taking each step, and only after three or two attempts did the turtledove take a cautious step.

It was necessary for the turtledove to be so cautious, so the little insect guarding the shore never urged him, but widened his eyes and paid attention to the situation on the left and right for the turtledove.

Thanks to the fact that the sludge was not far from the shore, at most twelve or thirteen meters, if it was a little farther away, the turtledove might not dare to go over and explore it, because this swamp was deeper and deeper the more it went to the center, and the turtledove had only walked out of five or six meters, and the silt was already in his calf.

Don't forget that there is water on top of the silt, the water level is just above the turtledove's knees, which is both silt and water, which makes it extremely difficult for the turtledove to walk, and it takes a lot of strength from the turtledove in just five or six meters.

"Gollum ......"

The sudden burst of bubbles not only startled the turtledove, but also made the insects on the shore tense their nerves, and they almost shot them over.

"Don't, don't!" The turtledove shouted, "It's not that there's something in the water, it's that I just stepped on a 'blister', and it looks like I have to be more careful." ”

The so-called "blister" is a lump of water wrapped in silt, some large and some small, the small one is like the one that was stepped on by the turtle dove, just a few strings of bubbles appeared, the big one is dangerous, and after being stepped on, it will even make people fall into it, and then be covered by the silt on it, and it will disappear without a trace in an instant.

Don't look at the distance of only ten meters, the turtledove must be up to twelve points of spirit, and there must be no slightest relaxation from beginning to end, otherwise who knows what he will step on next.
