"There are two sides to everything, and the forest swamps are dangerous, but there is a lot of food and fresh water. Swamp crabs, giant river prawns, bullfrogs, and scavenging catfish are all good foods. Speaking of this, Ye Xuan couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Since two months of intensive training, his appetite has become much greater than before, and in the wilderness, his physical exertion is several times greater than in the city. It is no exaggeration to say that since he entered the primeval rainforest of Jianfeng Ridge, he has not eaten a full meal. Yesterday, the two moonheads seemed to be not small, but in fact, excluding the internal organs and fish heads, they added up to less than half a catty, and now they have already been digested.

Gradually, the surrounding trees became scarcer and scarcer, and the ground, which was originally covered with dead leaves, began to become muddy. All these signs indicate that he has entered the edge of the forest swamp.

After about half an hour of walking, the road suddenly opened up and I was greeted by a flat swampy wetland. As far as the eye can see, there are patches of puddles and dense aquatic weeds for several kilometers, and dozens of low trees scattered in the swamp.

When you step on it, you sink directly into the mud with your bare foot. Walking in the swamp, Ye Xuan still maintained his vigilance, "Although HN's poisonous snakes live in the jungle, they still can't relax their vigilance, Zhoushan cobras like to come to the swamp to find food, this poisonous snake has a wide range of recipes, in addition to birds and mice, their favorite is the loach, bullfrog and yellow eel in the swamp and so on." So the chances of encountering them here are much greater than in the jungle. ”

Walking in the swamp, the breeze blows in your face, with a strong earthy smell and a faint rancid smell. Ye Xuan held a wooden stick in his hand, kept knocking on the weeds and shrubs in front of him, and quickly passed through the grass that was in line with the jungle, and officially stepped into the swamp.

In front of him were large puddles of water and mud. Many dead trees lay in the muddy mud, and from time to time bubbles rose from the muddy water.

It is now in the dry season, and there is not much rainfall, and when the rainy season comes, the small puddles in front of you will be connected to form a vast ocean.

After Ye Xuan entered the swamp, he kept walking along the edge of the trees, because the soil there was relatively dry and firm, but Rao was like this, he was already sweating profusely at the moment, "To be reasonable, walking in such a swamp is very physically demanding. Each step requires two or three times more effort than usual. And the mud stuck to my shoes, making my feet feel extra heavy. ”

There weren't many trees in the swamp, and after walking a few dozen meters, Ye Xuan had to face patches of puddles and mud.

"Whoa!"

The moment he stepped into the puddle, Ye Xuan's calf suddenly fell into half.

The silt at the bottom of the water was very sticky, and it took him a lot of effort to pull his left foot out. Even when the leg is pulled out, you can hear the sound of the cork being opened. At the same time, there was a strong rancid smell from the mud, which greeted him from the bottom up, and he was very uncomfortable with the smoke.

"Spectators, you have to be extra careful when you hike through the swamp. Ye Xuan said as he pointed to a clump of aquatic plants on the water surface in front of him, "For example, this aquatic grass that suddenly emerges from the water surface in front of you, generally there are only two situations for this aquatic weed, or the water level below the aquatic grass is very shallow, enough for them to break through the water surface." Either the water level is too deep and you can only float on the surface, and there is a very high probability that there will be a bottomless mud pool below. ”

"In addition, when you see a black flat ground with no grass, don't think that it is dry ground, and if you step on it rashly, you will be swallowed up in the mud. There are also some swamps covered with sphagnum moss, so be more careful, because sphagnum moss is the dominant plant in high swamps, and once patches of sphagnum moss appear in the swamp, it means that the water level below is either very deep or there are mud pools below. ”

"So in these situations in the swamp, don't risk it, it's better ... it!"

Before the words fell, Ye Xuan was about to take a step to bypass the aquatic plants in front of him, when he suddenly felt a softness under his feet, and the whole person suddenly fell into the quagmire in the water.

In just a few seconds, he was all sunk into the mud from the waist down. Once at this point, the backpack behind his back increased the contact area, allowing the sinking rate to begin to slow down, but even then, he would be completely engulfed in the mud in three minutes at most.

This sudden scene not only made Ye Xuan panic in his heart, but also frightened the audience in the live broadcast room.

"Nima, scare Lao Tzu!"

"You seem to be making me laugh. ”

"Streamer: I'm demonstrating the wrong approach. ”

"God TM the wrong thing to do, laughing at the pee. ”

"Damn, is the quagmire so terrifying? The anchor will sink half in a few seconds!"

"Hurry up, or it's over. ”

"Are you kidding upstairs?

"I heard that you can't struggle when you get stuck in a quagmire, and the more you struggle, the faster you fall. ”

"Don't BB, hurry up and call for help, the anchor is almost gone. ”

In fact, Ye Xuan didn't say a word just now, that is, the above are all quagmires that can be distinguished by the naked eye, and there are many quagmires hidden in the water, which cannot be distinguished at all. He didn't expect to be so unlucky, and he fell into the quagmire less than an hour after entering the swamp.

Fortunately, the experience in the wilderness in the past few days made Ye Xuan's nerves much stronger, and after the first few seconds of panic, he quickly came back to his senses and stabilized his mentality again.

The body sank a little, and soon the water level rose to the position of his chest, and after quickly recalling the method of getting out of the swamp quagmire in his mind, Ye Xuan's upper body tried to press back and make a backward posture. From the perspective of the drone's aerial photography, it seems that he is about to give up the struggle and lie in the swamp.

As he leaned back, the rate of his descent miraculously stopped. Or rather, it's slowed down, so slow that it can't be caught by the naked eye.

This discovery made Ye Xuan's heart reassured, and there was still a trace of apprehension in the beginning, but it also disappeared with the smoke. There is even a mood to speak to the live camera, "When you accidentally fall into the swamp, remember three points." First, don't struggle. The more you struggle, the faster you will fall. Second, stay calm and keep your strength. Especially when you have no one around, don't shout, it will only waste your energy. Everyone has fear, especially when it comes to life and death, so it's important to treat the panic in your heart and don't let it affect your judgment and thinking. Third, try to adjust the body to an inclined angle, whether it is forward or backward, so as to increase the contact area between yourself and the quagmire and effectively prevent further sagging. ”

To be honest, Ye Xuan himself felt that it was amazing that he could still maintain such a calm state of mind at the moment of life and death. If it had been two months ago, I would have been shouting in a panic.

I have to say that the wilderness is indeed a good place to train people. It was only a few days before he made such a big difference.
