Chapter 18: The Mire Horror
The skins of the two large crocodiles were peeled off and thrown on a rock to be exposed to the sun, while the meat was cut and grilled over a campfire, but the smell was filled in a few moments. The whole body of the crocodile is muscle, and its meat fat content is less than half that of beef, and the taste is particularly delicious, which is a rare delicacy.
Two large crocodiles more than three meters long are enough for five people to eat their bellies.
Leng Yun's mood was a little low, and she couldn't help but think of Qin Min, who was still with everyone last night, eating meat and talking, it was a fresh and personalized life, and in the blink of an eye, life and death were separated. This is a feeling that people who have not experienced it will never understand. Leng Yun even had the illusion that she wasn't dead. But reason was telling her that this couldn't be that Qin Min was completely dead, but she was afraid that even the corpse would be eaten by a passing monster.
The gap is so strong, there is no psychological preparation.
Zhang Mu handed over a string of crocodile meat: "Don't be too sad, fill your stomach to have the strength to fight." ”
"I understand." Leng Yun nodded, took the meat skewer from Zhang Mu's hand, the heat of the barbecue was just right, the surface was slightly burnt, and the inside was ripe, oozing with tempting oil. Leng Yun took a bite, the crocodile meat was a little old, but the taste was excellent. Of course, this aspect is decided by the barbecue jishu.
Sun Bing asked, "This swampy wetland is very large, and it will not be easy for us to get through it." ”
When the fat man heard this, he agreed: "Yes, it's all mud, don't mention how hard it is to walk." ”
"Do you want to take a detour?" Chen Ling whispered, she looked around: "The area of this place is too big, it will take at least a day or two." ”
Zhang Mu said while eating meat: "There are ways, don't worry. ”
When all the people were full, the crocodile skin was almost sunburned, Zhang Mu cut the crocodile skin into a strong long rope, and then asked everyone to cut the reeds, and after a while, a large piece of reeds was placed in front of him.
The fat man was puzzled: "Boss, what are so many reeds for?" I can't eat it! ”
Zhang Mu picked up a reed and gently broke it, "The reed itself is very light, and at the same time it is a hollow structure, so it can generate enough buoyancy, we made a reed raft and swam it up, which will be much easier than crossing on foot." ”
Leng Yun's eyes lit up and said, "Good idea!" ”
The fat man was a little worried, "What if a monster like a dire fish runs out of the water?" ”
Zhang Mu shook his head and said: "This swamp itself obviously doesn't have much stagnant water, because of the heavy rain last night, the water has temporarily deepened, and there will be no large monsters." Of course, you still have to be careful, no water monsters do not mean that there are no monsters living in swamps, crocodiles are an example, be careful. ”
The fat man said, "That's good, that's good." ”
Several people cut wood to reinforce it, and made two light rafts out of ropes made of crocodile skin. As for using excess reeds to make some tools similar to lifebuoys, in case you accidentally fall into the mud, you can also generate buoyancy and not sink into the mud.
Five long bamboos were found as oars, and the five people pushed the raft into the water. Leng Yun, Chen Ling, and Sun Bing rode on a raft. The fat man can't swim, and his weight is one of the top two, so he shares a raft with Zhang Mu.
Departure.
Zhang Mu held a slender bamboo pole and advanced in the wetland, because the heavy rain last night made the swamp full of black and muddy water, but the water is not deep, half a meter to one meter, and the water is a thick silt swamp. When a bamboo pole is inserted into the silt, there will always be a large number of bubbles coming out of it, releasing a smell similar to that in a septic tank.
This is biogas, the biogas produced by the long-term accumulation of plants, and the swamp must be very deep, and if you sink into it, you will die.
The five people paddled forward with bated breath, the reed raft floated out for six or seven hundred meters, the terrain became more low-lying, the water became deeper, and on all sides were a group of reeds, most of which were more than two meters high, full of small beige flowers, when a gust of wind blew across the earth, blew the water surface, blew down the reeds, and looked up, the green splashed thousands of acres. In many dandelion-like plants, a white seed has been raised.
Under the blue sky, in the warm breeze, the green is sprinkled all the miles, and the wild birds are flying together. In the bright sunshine, in the light waves, the reeds are all over the field, and the sky is full of white wocculents.
What a poetic sight!
No one appreciates!
There was only one thought in the minds of the five people, and that was to get out of the swamp quickly.
This kind of place makes people feel insecure, danger can appear at any time, and no one knows whether the raft will turn over in the next second. For about ten minutes, everyone was praying in their hearts that there should be no accidents, but sometimes, the more you are afraid of something, the more you will encounter something.
The unsettling situation finally happened.
When the two rafts passed through a particularly large reed, a "quack" sound sounded from the reeds in front of them, and a large flock of frightened gray birds flew up from it.
Zhang Mu raised his hand, and everyone stopped paddling, all staring nervously at the inside of the reeds.
Sun Bing asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”
Zhang Mu replied in a low voice: "It seems that there is something, let's take a detour." ”
Leng Yun's heart hung up, surrounded by bottomless swamps, and at this moment there was a distance of more than a thousand meters from the other bank.
If there is an attack, the consequences are really unimaginable.
All eyes were on the reeds, which were too tall and dense to see what was inside. However, no one questioned Zhang Mu's words, and several people immediately turned around and prepared to bypass. At this time, there was a sound from inside the reeds, something was constantly squeezing the reeds, and judging from the crooked reeds, it was probably not small in size, and it was approaching the front
A cold sweat broke out on the fat man's face: "Damn, what the hell!" ”
The thing was getting closer, and a lot of the reeds were bent, and they were getting closer, and they were getting closer......
Sun Bing took out his shield: "It's coming!" ”
The nearby reeds were all squeezed open, and when they were about to emerge, a strange scene appeared, and the sound in the reeds disappeared. The five of them were ready for battle, but they didn't see anything emerge from the reeds, and they couldn't help but be stunned.
Chen Ling held the axe nervously, "This ...... Why is it suddenly gone? ”
Gollum!
In the sewage, a large number of bubbles are turned out of the water.
Zhang Mu's pupils contracted suddenly, and he shouted loudly: "Be careful, it's underwater!" ”
Bang!
The surface of the water was suddenly broken, and it was a giant python thirteen or fourteen meters long, with a white ring pattern all over its body, a triangular head spitting letters, and a cold gaze staring at several people. It is four stories tall and slightly thicker than the body of an adult man, and it is truly an unheard of python!
[Mire Anaconda], Level 8 Bronze Elite, HP 600, Magic 300, Attribute ??? Skill??? , Introduction: A brutal anaconda that has become even more powerful because it has been eroded by the evil Liliang.
The fat man exclaimed, "Fuck, there's no mistake!" ”
The speed of the mire anaconda was too fast, everyone had no time to react, the giant tail swept over with a thousand powers, several people's reed rafts were overturned on the spot, five people fell directly into the muddy and viscous muddy water, their feet fell into the swamp mud, and a large amount of swamp gas was stirred up in the struggle, countless bubbles rolled out in the muddy water, the stench was overwhelming, and the smoke made people dizzy, and the muddy water was stimulating, like chili water, which made people unable to open their eyes.
"Damn, shit! I hate water! Like a fat pig in the water, the fat man struggled in panic and shouted: "Where is such a big snake!" ”
This is a water anacond, in fact, there is no essential difference between the anaconda and the anacond, except for the difference in reproductive methods, the ovoviviparous is the mainstay, and the anaconda is mostly oviparous. This giant snake is generally not venomous, but it is very fast, and if it is entangled, it will die.
Zhang Mu poked his head out of the muddy water, the place where he fell into the water was far away from the others, and the reed raft was completely scattered, scattered everywhere. Fortunately, all five people were covered with lifebuoys made of reeds, and all of them surfaced in time, but even so, they also became mud figures one by one, and their mouths and noses were stuffed with stinky mud, resulting in poor breathing and breathlessness for a long time.
The four-story tall body of the giant python was lifted up, bent into a dangerous S shape, and posed as if it was about to attack. Once this giant snake is entangled in the target, it will instantly screw off the bones of the whole body, and it will be entangled in the muddy water of the swamp, and there is no possibility of escape, which is a certain death.
At the moment when his life was hanging by a thread, ordinary people had already panicked, but Zhang Mu calmly analyzed the situation, immediately found the place of vitality, and shouted: "Reed, that reed, you go to that reed, since you can bear the weight of the giant python, then you must be able to bear our weight!" ”
When the four of them heard this, they felt like they had grasped a life-saving straw. There is no chance of winning a battle in the water, if you fight in a land environment, there is still hope to defeat it, the python is 300 kilograms, it can move on the reeds, and everyone else can stand on it.
Leng Yun raised her staff, and an ice arrow was shot at the python, dealing 45 damage points, and the effect of the frost slowed it down a lot. Sun Bing pulled the fat man and was trying to move towards the reed area, followed by Chen Ling.
"Hiss!"
After the giant python was injured by the ice arrow, it was completely angry, and turned its head to attack Leng Yun.
Sun Bing and the fat man climbed on the reeds, Sun Bing turned around and used a taunt, when the giant python was about to attack Leng Yun, he was suddenly affected by the skill effect of the taunt, and he was instantly angry, turned around and looked at Sun Bing, Sun Bing was glared at by the gloomy huge eyes, only to feel that his legs were weak, and hurriedly turned his head and ran into the reed area.
Zhang Mu's judgment is not bad, because there is more mud under the reeds, so a piece of ground, although it is very incomplete, hiding a large number of puddles, walking step by step deep and shallow, but it is better than fighting in the water. The speed of the giant python was too fast, setting off two waves of water, rushing over like a dragon.
Sun Bing panicked, his feet suddenly emptied, his entire right leg stepped into a large puddle, and half of his body fell into the water. The giant python took the opportunity to rush up and entangle his body, and began to perform the python's trick of winding and strangleling.
Sun Bing opened the petrified skin, but with his physique, he could not resist the strangulation of the giant python. At this time, Zhang Mu had just landed in the reed area, and the distance was more than ten meters, so he had no time to rescue.
Seeing this, the fat man roared, and his whole body was shrouded in red energy and rushed over, and a savage charge collided with the python's body, causing 44 points of high damage at the same time, and then the impact force knocked the python's head over, and picked up the jungle blade with both hands and slashed it. The Jungle Sword has up to 24 attack damage, combined with Berserker's astonishing Liliang, dealing 32 damage while slicing through the python's tough scales and skin.
The python roared, swept its tail vigorously, and slapped it on the fat man's chest.
This blow seemed simple, but in fact it was extremely powerful, and the fat man, weighing more than two hundred and fifty pounds, flew out of the reeds, fell into the muddy water, poured a few mouthfuls of dirty and smelly muddy water, and almost fainted to death in the water.
"Fatty!"
Zhang Mu was shocked and reached out to pull.
