The sun gradually rises, and when it first crosses the horizon, it is still cool, and when it is far away from the horizon, the strong sunlight shines on the skin without obstruction, and it feels a little hot.

Shi Xiaobao asked Tucci to bite off some rattan sticks and weave a hat, which was also filled with flowers and leaves, surrounded by fragrance, and brought coolness.

"Who do you think I look like now?" Shi Xiaobao sat on Lord Meow and asked triumphantly.

Meow has become very large, and the fluffy and soft fur moves with the wind, majestic.

Shi Xiaobao sat on the body of Lord Meow, carrying a basket on his back, a wooden stick stuck diagonally behind his back, a hat covering his face, and the skin of his arms and legs was smooth and bronze.

"Like a prairie knight!" Tucci looked up and punched twice, and said sincerely.

"Hahaha! I'm a prairie knight! Bamboo cane shoes are lighter than horses, and a cloud of smoke and rain is Ren Pingsheng! Shi Xiaobao raised his arm, pointed forward, and laughed arbitrarily.

Meow-sama stopped, looked around, and said, "Something is wrong! ”

"What's wrong?" Shi Xiaobao only saw that the grass in front of him gradually turned from green to dark yellow, and the wandering animals gradually disappeared, but the others didn't notice anything wrong.

Tucci ran forward, sniffed around, and ran back with a worried look on his teeth, saying "It's probably a swamp ahead"

"Swamp?" Shi Xiaobao was originally in high spirits, but he was a little worried when he heard Tucci's words.

She saw footage on TV of a lot of people being swallowed up in swamps. Stepping into the mud with both feet, the more the frightened body struggled, the more it played and sank. First to the waist, to the chest, to the neck, gradually the muddy water flooded the eyes, covered the top of the head, and finally the hand for help gradually disappeared, and above the swamp, gurgling blisters, blisters became fewer and smaller.

Eventually, everything calmed down as if nothing had happened.

"Xiaobao, Xiaobao!" Meow-sama shouted.

"Ahh Shi Xiaobao woke up violently from his thoughts.

"What do you think?" Mistress Meow had continued to walk forward, and Tucci had run ahead to find his way.

"It's nothing," Shi Xiaobao didn't want to tell Lord Meow about his thoughts, for fear that it would worry.

I couldn't see Tucci, I looked around and couldn't see the shadow of Tucci, and asked Meow, "Where is Tucci?" ”

"Go ahead to explore the road, there should be a swamp ahead, the road is not easy to walk, let it step on the road first." Meow-sama didn't seem to be worried about the swamp, it was like passing through a muddy road, but it was a little challenging to be clean.

"Wouldn't it be dangerous?" Shi Xiaobao's voice was a little small, and he couldn't hide his worry about Tucci.

Meow walked for a while, stopped to look around, and then continued walking. It seems that this is the habit in felines, especially in an unfamiliar environment, becoming more vigilant, no matter how strong they are, sudden noises or abnormal movements will make them mobilize the functions of the whole body to face it seriously.

"No, a rat can go up to the sky and into the earth, not to mention that it is a mutant mouse." Mistress Meow responded, not worrying about Tucci, but as if it was worried about something else from its actions.

As for what he was worried about, Shi Xiaobao didn't know and didn't ask. She knew that Mistress Meow herself was not sure, and she would not tell her why.

Shi Xiaobao stopped talking, for fear of disturbing Lord Meow's judgment of the surrounding environment, and also learned from Lord Meow to observe the surroundings, hoping to give it effective information.

After walking for half a day, the sun was shining directly overhead.

The green grass is getting thinner and lighter, and it is mixed with withered yellow. In the distance, evaporating water vapor shook above the meadow, and the smell of grass, muddy water, and methane from decaying aquatic plants and animal carcasses was permeated.

The sound of water sounded at the feet of Lord Meow, and it did not submerge the soles of his feet, and the water that was originally quite clear was stepped on by Lord Meow, and the muddy water bubbles were turned up.

When the forefoot is raised, the meow will occasionally shake it twice.

It didn't make any sound, but Shi Xiaobao knew that Lord Meow must be scolding in his heart, "What kind of place is this horse!" ”

Every time Lord Meow walks on a road with some muddy water, he will throw off the soles of his feet and habitually scold. Over time, Shi Xiaobao also discovered its secret.

At this time, Lord Meow didn't scold, probably because he was afraid of affecting Shi Xiaobao's mood.

The thicker and thicker water vapor made Shi Xiaobao, who originally felt hot and dry, feel even more irritable, and sat on Lord Meow and occasionally twisted his lower body to pat the insects on his body.

The deeper back the swamp became, the deeper the water, the more yellow the grass became, and the smell of rancid smell became heavier, and the yellow of the swamp and the blue sky seemed not at all harmonious.

The water has submerged the soles of Meow's feet, and Meow doesn't do any more meaningless foot throws, and its foot shakes are also to comfort his own cleanliness psychology, and now it has gradually adapted to it, just like the muddy water in the swamp has not entered the heart.

Since you can't hide, you have to adapt, and Lord Meow understands this truth.

"Tucci is back," Meow-sama said, pausing in his tracks.

Shi Xiaobao looked ahead, Tucci ran wildly all the way, the water splashed around him, the shaking teeth were very conspicuous, and he felt a little distressed inexplicably.

Tucci was extremely fast, like speeding on the grass, and in a short time it was 100 meters away. The black hair became wet, and the eyes flashed with heat and ferocity.

"Woohoo!" Tuqi stopped his body, screamed excitedly, and looked at Shi Xiaobao's eyes becoming a little softer.

At this time, Shi Xiaobao found out that Tuqi was the same as Lord Meow, but he was very gentle with himself, and treated others and animals, they were fierce beasts, and they were mutated ferocious beasts.

"It's so exciting in such a dirty place, how about the front?" Lord Meow said with disdain.

"Meow-sama, I like this, the sewer is dirtier than this, the feeling of going home!" Tucci loved it all.

When Lord Meow saw Tucci's embarrassment, he was amused by the excitement that his teeth hung up.

Shi Xiaobao also laughed when he saw Tucci's funny appearance.

"Okay, how's the road ahead of you?" Meow-sama asked again.

"Within thirty miles, there are only crocodiles, and if I kill one, there is no threat. This is the edge of the swamp, as long as we don't step into the mud puddle, and the real one who can fall into the mud is thirty miles away! Tucci replied in detail.

"You went to see, how big is the swamp?" Meow wants to know how big the area is, and if you can't get out for three or five days, you can't get out of the food.

"This... I really don't know! Tucci replied.

Lord Meow hesitated, Shi Xiaobao can still eat barbecue and drink dew on the grassland, and after entering the swamp, there is crocodile meat and can't make a fire, let alone dew. Looking at the vast mist and wild grass ahead, he fell into a dilemma.

"Shall we move forward?" Tucci asked.

Shi Xiaobao quietly waited for Lord Meow to answer.

Meow-sama turned her head and asked the parrot, "Is there any other way?" ”

The parrot poked its head out of the basket and said, "The grassland, swamp, and desert terrain are all distributed in a circle, and you must go to the center, not around it." ”

"You didn't say there was a swamp!" Tucci asked angrily.

"You didn't ask!" Parrot's unconvinced justification.

"Stop arguing, let's go!" Lord Meow took another step forward, heading towards the deepest part of the Lost Forest Source.

Tucci snorted coldly at the parrot, which shook its head back in disdain.

The water was getting deeper and deeper, almost half a foot deep, and some of the deep mud pools were submerged under the water's surface, and Tucci opened the way in front of him, and when his feet were about to step into the deep pools, he hurriedly withdrew, successfully dodging the traps again and again.

Meow-sama is two meters away from Tucci, which is just the right distance to pull Tucci back when he is in danger, and he can not fall into the quagmire without following in his footsteps.

Tucci felt something unusual about the water in front of him, but he was not sure, and took a step lightly, but found that it was only a piece of soft mud, and the soles of his feet did not sink after stepping on them, so he took another step forward carefully.

The soles of the feet have not yet landed, and the foot stepping on the soft mud only feels that the soft mud instantly turns into cotton, and the body falls forward.

Most of his body was shocked into the water, "Meow-sama...", Tucci didn't have time to scream, his mouth was already flooded with muddy water.

"Sit tight!" Meow-sama stepped forward, grabbed Tucci's half-thick tail, and dragged Tucci out of the water.

Tucci's little heart pounded, "Oops, this thing is so weird, I'm afraid it's getting harder and harder to go any further"

Meow saw a place of grass-colored greenery, high on the surface of the water, which should be a solid ground.

"Let's go there and rest!" Meow-sama bowed her head at Tucci.

Tucci understands and gets up from the ground and explores the way ahead.

It's still about a square square of green meadow, like an oasis in the middle of a swamp. Look out at the desolation of the surroundings.

Shi Xiaobao got down from Lord Meow's back, unloaded the back basket, inserted the stick into the ground, stretched the sore back that had already been made, and said, "Wren, have you ever been into the swamp before?" ”

Although Lord Meow is tall and fierce, he can't help the soft mud to sink into. Responded, "This hellish place, I can't hide yet, I've only heard about it before"

"Is there any way to get there?" Shi Xiaobao asked.

"For the time being, I can only try to go." Lord Meow said without confidence.

"If only you could tame a crocodile and let it lead the way!" The parrot poked its head out and said.

"Great idea!" Meow-sama nodded in agreement.

Tucci became angry all of a sudden, "You get a crocodile and let it find its way!" ”

"Lord Meow said good ideas, what are you forcing for?" Parrots practice their vocal cords for a long time and speak more numbly than before.

Tucci snorted coldly and said, "That's because he didn't bother to hit your IQ!" ”

"Alright, alright, you guys will stop, let's rest and watch again!" Shi Xiaobao persuaded the parrot to quarrel with Tucci.

"The crocodile is fierce by nature, and it is almost impossible to tame it. If only they didn't come looking for trouble, don't expect them to lead the way. "Lord Meow didn't let his guard down for a moment, moving his ears and collecting information around him.

Tucci and Shi Xiaobao both heard the meaning of Lord Meow's words, and Tucci immediately stood up, looked at Lord Meow's line of sight, and shouted angrily, "You, why are you carrying a crocodile!" ”

Shi Xiaobao saw Tucci's anxious look and knew that something was in trouble. He hurriedly pulled out his stick from the ground and lay it tightly in his hand, as if he were facing a great enemy.
