The route of progress is to be determined, and everyone feels that if they go back at this time, it is easy to encounter a cockroach swarm again. So we decided to take a detour, that is, to make a detour and return to the higher mountain road again.

On the roundabout way, everyone was blessed by misfortune and encountered wild pineapples, and there were three of them. After feasting, the gloom was swept away, and everyone began to continue on their way.

Everyone now cherishes every little bit of happiness they get, because they have completely broken the original beautiful illusion, and this search process is not at all the previously imagined trip to the mountains and rivers, and you must always be cautious and cautious, so as not to be careful, you will often be ignored and despised by nature, and you will be overwhelmed!

Cockroaches are relatively rare in the north, and there are more insects in the south, especially in the mountains, where the insect species are even more frightening. We weaved through the bushes while constantly slapping the mosquitoes that flew down on our bodies. The low bushes are full of all kinds of insects, such as beetles and longhorns, but I don't know most of them. However, some of the colors and patterns are very beautiful.

After shuttling through the bushes for a long time, I still didn't see the high ground, but the grass under my feet became more and more low-lying, and even the bushes were gradually decreasing, and in addition to weeds, many low-lying puddles began to appear on the ground.

The south was still very bright in the twilight, and we came to a large puddle of water, thinking that we must cross this place tonight and find a drier place to rest. If you rest around here, you may wake up the next day full of blood. Leeches with rounded bodies. Just thinking about it sends chills down your spine. The pores all over the body are exuding cold.

Suddenly, the fat man walked beside me. He suddenly reached out to stop me, and at the same time motioned for everyone to squat down and keep quiet.

Knowing that something was wrong, I immediately looked at the fat man, who pointed to the right front of the crowd.

Everyone squatted on the ground, tilted their necks, and looked to the right in unison.

I saw that in the distance in front of the right, there was a kind of colorful tiger, lying quietly in front of a deep puddle. Seems to be drinking water.

The mottled tiger stripes are faintly reflected in the eyes of everyone in the distance. I would never have thought that in Baihua Mountain, I would encounter wild tigers!

Where they were, there was an endless meadow, with no shelter or shelter except for low-lying puddles.

I am now strict with my longing, and I just hated the pain. The low bushes, infested with insects, can appear in front of everyone, so that there is a place between us and the tiger, the king of beasts, although it is not necessarily safe. But it's a barrier that can make us feel at ease. It's a pity that there are no tall weeds around.

We really "can't bear to" disturb the rest of the King of Beasts. It was decided to quietly retreat back.

Suddenly, above the puddle in front of the colorful tiger. There was a wild bird that flew by, and it fell headlong into a puddle. Before the bird falls. Everyone saw a column of water that rushed straight into the sky and shot down the bird at such a speed that it was like lightning in the wind.

Then everyone saw that the tiger, which was lying quietly on the grass, actually climbed directly into the puddle and swallowed the bird in one gulp.

At this time, everyone finally saw that it was not a tiger that climbed into the puddle, but a huge slug with mottled tiger stripes on its back. Because this slug is unusually large, from a distance, it looks like a tiger lying on the ground.

"Slug", a mollusk that resembles a shellless snail, is commonly known as a slug.

So far, I have heard of a very beautiful pink slug, which is almost less than a foot long, which is a very large species. In general, the adult slug is only about two centimeters long, and the colors are varied, and some will have leopard-like spots on their bodies. But this is the first time I've seen a slug like this huge one with colorful tiger stripes on its back.

Slugs are not as dangerous as leeches, so everyone stood up from the ground and involuntarily moved forward, wanting to see this very strange insect up close.

As the fat man walked, he said to Zha Ling'er: "Ling'er, I tell you, don't look at the slug wet and sticky look disgusting, but its meat is extremely tender, and its nutritional value is extremely high, and the protein content is more than one or two grades higher than that of high-protein foods such as soft-shelled turtles, eggs, and beef." ”

Zha Ling'er kept shaking her head very unconvinced, and the fat man saw that Zha Ling'er didn't believe it, and immediately assured her: "If you catch the slugs for a while, you will definitely praise them." ”

The fat man didn't move Zha Ling'er, but hooked out the gluttonous worms in the monkey's stomach, and the two of them rubbed their fists and palms, as if they really wanted to go into the water to catch tabby slugs alive.

I really don't know where the fat man learned these unpopular knowledge, but as long as it has to do with food, he is right.

The huge, soft tiger striped slug in front of me, I felt very uncomfortable looking at it, and I definitely couldn't open my mouth when I was asked to eat it.

But the fat man and the monkey obviously didn't think so, and when I saw that they were pulling their trouser legs, I hurriedly stopped them and said, "Don't mess around, for if you provoke it for a while, you might swallow you both alive." ”

As a result, as soon as the words fell, the monkey standing with his back to the deep puddle suddenly fell to the ground with a thud. Immediately afterwards, I saw the huge tiger striped slug, which had swam to the grass at some point, and swallowed the monkey's right leg into its stomach in one bite.

The monkey's right leg, in the blink of an eye, was swallowed by a tiger slug. And the tabby slug, which bit the monkey's right leg and didn't let go, also dragged the monkey's body into the deep puddle.

Everyone was unexpected, and they didn't expect that the soft slugs in front of them could really eat people.

Now I really complain very much about my crow's mouth, which has always been a good spirit and not a bad spirit. Now is neither the time to lament nor to lament. Everyone hurriedly dragged the monkey's body and began to pull up the river with the giant tiger slugs in the puddle.

The slug's mouth has teeth, which are the same as the teeth of the white python nematode seen in the Sanjiang Island forest. But the teeth in the slug's mouth are not sharp and are more rounded. That's why the monkey's right leg wasn't bitten off. And although the right leg was swallowed into the stomach by the tiger slug, the stomach of the tiger slug, like the baby face baby fish, can quickly squeeze food, so the monkey was fortunate to save one leg.

Soon, the monkey's right leg, along with a large pile of slime, was rescued from the mouth of the tiger slug by the concerted efforts of everyone.

Before the monkey passed out, he happened to have his back to the deep puddle, so he didn't see the tiger slugs attacking him. But I could see very clearly that the tiger slugs suddenly spat out a jet of water from its mouth and hit the monkey directly on the back, causing the monkey to fall to the ground and faint. It can be seen that the power of the water column spit out from the mouth of the tiger slug is very huge and fast. It is estimated that the wild birds that flew in the air before were hit by this method and became the belly of the tiger slug.

The monkey was successfully rescued, so I immediately let the fat man carry the monkey on his back, and then I opened the way in front of me, ready to flee from here.

However, when we turned around, we were surprised to find that there were four other huge tiger slugs in front of us. In particular, the tiger striped slugs lying in the middle are particularly huge, with a pair of black antennae, and the tiger stripe spots on the back are also black as ink, as if they are highly poisonous, which is very terrifying.

The tiger slugs in the puddle had climbed ashore from the puddle, and we felt as if we were surrounded by five colorful tigers.

The fat man never lost the opportunity to ask me: "Lao Zheng, what should I do?" ”

I remember that salt could dehydrate slugs and turn them into a mucus-like liquid. But the salt in our hands, only a piece the size of a palm, is to replenish the salt on the way. It is estimated that this piece of salt smashed on the giant tiger slugs, and they would not even blink their eyelids. I don't know if they have eyelids, but they don't fear a tiny piece of salt.

While I was still thinking hard about how to deal with the slugs, the tiger slugs surrounding us couldn't help but strike first. I saw that the black-spotted slug with black antennae suddenly spat out a cloud of mucus from its mouth and smashed it directly on the surface of my feet.

Fortunately, I was prepared in advance, and when I saw it attacking, I immediately dodged quickly. But I didn't expect that this black-spotted slug with black antennae would not play its cards according to common sense, it was not a straight jet of water, but a parabolic spitting sputum. Although all my body dodged in time, my feet were half a beat slower, causing half of my shoes to be directly stuck to the ground by the slime, and I immediately hurriedly lifted my feet vigorously. However, the mucus was like super glue, sticking my feet tightly to the ground.

Just as I was struggling with the slime on the ground, suddenly, a column of water shot at me diagonally, and I couldn't dodge because my feet were tightly glued to the ground. And the direction of the water column was very tricky, so I couldn't bend down to dodge, so I could only grit my teeth and take the attack of the water column hard.

The water column launched by the tiger slug is stronger than the high-pressure water column launched by the fire truck, because the water column is relatively small, so the force is particularly concentrated, and after I was hit in the ribs, I almost fell to the ground, and the left rib side of the blow seemed to be broken.

I gritted my teeth and withstood the attack of the tabby slug, but the others were not so lucky, I saw Zha Ling'er fall to the ground, hurriedly covered the painful ribs with my hands, and began to struggle more hard to break free of the mucus, trying to pull my feet out of the mucus.
