Volume 1 Earth Chapter 13 Swamp Beast
In the early morning, the birds climb up to the treetops, and the crisp call resounds throughout the col, as if composing a song for a new day. The sun couldn't wait to climb into the sky, caressing every part of the forest with that warm sun.
At this time, Lin Yifan and the others were busy preparing the equipment needed to enter the Misty Mountain Col. I found some rattan and kneaded it into ropes, and then chopped some tree trunks to make footrests, which were used for walking in the swamp.
The col is about ten square kilometers long, and it's a dead end, so there's no need to go into it all. Lin Yifan selected some sturdy boys to enter, and the others waited outside in hiding.
Not to mention, the medicine bag in Li Hu's hometown really works, not only restraining the poisonous miasma, but also the smell of medicine emitted by the medicine bag makes people feel more energetic.
The team was lined up, and Lin Yifan walked in the front, holding a spear of about three meters in his hand to explore the way.
Although the col is not big, the road is very difficult to walk. If you don't have a positioning system, you can really get lost, because the fog in the depths of the col is thicker than outside.
After walking for a while, the surrounding light dimmed, Lin Yifan stopped, turned on the nano sensor to scan the surroundings, and there was nothing abnormal on the monitor.
Putting away the sensor, Lin Yifan instructed everyone: "The fog in front is getting thicker and thicker, the light is getting darker, and the field of vision is only twenty or thirty meters away. ”
According to Lin Yifan's instructions, everyone carefully searched and advanced, and watched the surroundings closely. After walking about five kilometers, the nano sensor suddenly heard an alarm sound of "beep, beep," and "beep, beep."
Lin Yifan quickly turned on the nano sensor and found that there was a red dot on the display that was approaching five hundred meters away from them, and it was extremely fast.
According to data analysis, this guy is not small, and he should be some kind of relatively strong creature.
"All on alert! Everyone, stay close, be careful not to scatter! Lin Yifan's face suddenly became very solemn.
It's four hundred meters, three hundred meters, two hundred meters! Seeing the red dot on the monitor approaching rapidly, everyone couldn't help but get nervous, and the surroundings seemed exceptionally quiet at this time, and even the sound of their own heartbeat could be heard clearly.
Just as everyone's hearts were about to jump to their throats, the creature suddenly stopped a hundred meters away, and then the red dot on the monitor disappeared.
Looking at the red dots that suddenly disappeared, the originally tense atmosphere gradually turned into fear.
Li Hu said in a low voice with doubts on his face: "Captain Lin, what is the situation, why is it missing?" ”
Lin Yifan looked thoughtfully at the red dots that disappeared on the monitor, and after a while, he raised his head and looked around and said, "Now I'm not sure what kind of creature it is, let's face the periphery in a circle, be vigilant!" ”
Everyone looked around intently, and several of the freshmen, their spear-holding hands, began to tremble slightly.
Lin Yifan walked next to these freshmen, and gently patted them on the shoulder with his right hand: "Don't be nervous, pay attention to defense." ”
The freshmen turned their eyes to Lin Yifan's calm figure, and gradually settled down, that kind of natural leadership temperament was faintly revealed in the young man in front of him who was not much older than himself, which made them all admire.
Just as everyone was looking nervously around, there was a sudden noise in the grass not far away.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on the direction from which the sound came, and after a while, a dark figure could be seen moving rapidly behind the grass, occasionally letting out a few low roars.
The freshmen couldn't help but swallow their saliva, because of their lack of actual combat experience, they were much more nervous than Lin Yifan and the others.
Just when everyone was in a trance, suddenly a tall figure rushed quickly in the direction of the grass, and shouted in his mouth: "His grandmother's! What's there to pretend to be a ghost there? Eat the uncle's spear first! ”
After being stunned for a moment, everyone saw clearly that the person who rushed out was Wang Xiaopang. He threw a spear at the shadow, and it slammed into the grass with the sound of the wind, and then a terrible roar was heard from behind the grass.
Pierced, the same explanation popped up in everyone's hearts. After hearing the voice, Wang Xiaopang picked up another spear and rushed quickly into the grass, and Lin Yifan and the others also followed.
After entering the grass, he didn't find anything, only the spear that Wang Xiaopang threw just now was on the ground.
"Boss, it's obviously pierced, why is there nothing?" Wang Xiaopang looked at Lin Yifan and asked.
Lin Yifan picked up the spear on the ground, looked at the blood stains and stained hair on it, and said, "Look at the color and shape of the hair, it should be a swamp beast." You did hit, but you didn't hit the vital point only because you were injured, and it bit off its spear and ran. Lin Yifan pointed to the tooth marks on the spear again.
Hearing the swamp beast, Li Hu leaned over and asked, "Captain Lin, what is the swamp beast?" ”
Lin Yifan explained while cleaning the spear: "The swamp beast is a carnivore, which can only be seen in humid places in the south, and likes to hunt near swamps. It is also very good at camouflage, and its unique withered yellow hair not only looks like a weed, but also secretes a kind of mucus, which is very special, it can not only absorb light, but also isolate body temperature, so that it can avoid heat radiation induction, so the target on the nanosensor suddenly disappeared just now. ”
Hearing Lin Yifan's explanation, everyone nodded. For the freshmen, the military confrontation in the field is the best class.
The swamp beast was beaten away, and the freshmen breathed a sigh of relief, and one of them said, "It's good that we were beaten away by Captain Wang, otherwise we would be in big trouble." ”
After cleaning up the spear, Lin Yifan continued: "Don't be too happy too early, the swamp beast is a social animal, and hunting is a collective action, but fortunately, the swamp beast hunts at night, and now is the rest time." However, we wounded the scouts guarding the guards, and there is no guarantee that they will not come out during the day, so we need to hurry to the supply point. ”
So everyone acted quickly and continued to search and move forward according to the formation at the beginning.
The fog is getting thicker and thicker, and the visual distance can basically only be seen about ten meters, Lin Yifan can't see the people at the back of the team when he looks back, and for safety, the team marches forward in two teams.
After continuing to search for about five kilometers, Lin Yifan turned on the nano sensor and found that the signal was stronger, which indicated that it was very close to the supply point.
Just then, the alarm went off again, and a large number of red dots appeared on the monitor that were rapidly approaching.
Lin Yifan hurriedly shouted: "It's not good, it's the swamp beasts who have come to take revenge!" Everyone hurry up and get into the supply point! ”
Hearing Lin Yifan's words, everyone ran to the supply point with all their might, ran for about 200 meters, and found that there was a circular wall in front of them, the wall was not high but protected by a power grid.
Lin Yifan led everyone to the side of the fence, and then ordered: "Quickly disperse, find the access port, you must control the power grid, otherwise none of them will be able to enter." ”
According to Lin Yifan's instructions, everyone started to search around the wall, and after a while, they heard Li Hu shouting: "Captain Lin, come over and see if this is a port?" ”
Lin Yifan hurriedly ran over and looked at the position of Li Hu's finger. It had five circular holes, one larger in the middle, and four smaller ones around it.
Lin Yifan didn't say a word, and immediately took out the microcomputer link port.
After about ten seconds, Li Hu looked at the power grid and hurriedly asked, "How is Captain Lin?" ”
Lin Yifan slapped the computer and shouted: "Damn, these instructors really have a way, the power grid has set a password." ”
"Password? Captain Lin is trying to figure out a way, these guys are getting closer and closer. Hearing the grass moving bigger and bigger, Li Hu hurriedly urged.
Lin Yifan looked up and said: "The terrain of this col is special, even if you give up activating the sensor now, the rescue team will not be able to enter for a while, and you still have to enter the safe zone before the ultrasonic effect is over, so Xiaopang and Captain Li, give me two minutes to crack the code." ”
Wang Xiaopang and Li Hu glanced at each other when they heard this, and then said in unison: "Let's stop these beasts, you quickly crack the password!" ”
Wang Xiaopang and Li Hu picked up the spears in their hands and looked at the grass, and the other freshmen also picked up the spears and made defensive postures.
At this moment, a tall figure slowly crawled out of the grass, which looked like an elongated hound, with a very special nose with four holes, a bloody mouth full of sharp fangs, and a low roar from the mouth, from which drops of disgusting mucus dripped to the ground.
The swamp beast was covered with weed-like hairs, each of which stretched back more than a foot long, and although its size and length were extremely asymmetrical, its limbs were well developed and full of strength.
After a while, more and more swamp beasts appeared from the grass, and the new students were very frightened, and some of their bodies had begun to tremble violently, and even the spears in their hands shook with them.
At that moment, a swamp beast suddenly pounced on the panicked freshmen. Frightened, they hurried back, but one of the freshmen sat down on the ground with his feet limp due to excessive nervousness, and the others tripped over him and fell to the ground, causing a mess for a while.
Seeing that the swamp beast was about to pounce on those new students, he only heard a "whoosh", and a spear passed through the swamp beast's chest, and the powerful force of the spear took the huge body of the swamp beast out and stuck it straight on the ground, and the limbs of the swamp beast hanging in the air trembled violently a few times, and then it died.
Wang Xiaopang pulled up the fallen freshman and shouted, "Get up!" If you want to survive, you have to overcome the fear in your heart, and it's over with these beasts, what are so many of us afraid of? ”
Seeing that their kind was killed, those swamp beasts raised their heads one by one and roared wildly, with an even more ferocious look in their eyes, and then all the swamp beasts pounced on Lin Yifan and the others at the same time.
Seeing this, Wang Xiaopang yelled at everyone: "If you don't want to die, give me a group and slaughter these beasts with a spear!" ”
Li Hu also echoed on the side: "Yes, brothers, don't be afraid, fight with them!" ”
At this moment, they all knew very well in their hearts that if they didn't work hard, they would lose the chance of survival, and the survival instinct made these freshmen instantly feel like they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they followed Wang Xiaopang and Li Hu one by one, and pierced their spears hard at those swamp beasts that pounced on them.
One by one, the swamp beasts that pounced on them were pierced through their chests and fell to the ground and died. Wang Xiaopang and Li Hu were also scratched, and the other freshmen were not injured under their cover, but they were also exhausted.
The battle lasted for more than ten minutes, and most of the swampmons had fallen to the ground and died, and the rest of the swampmons were raising their heads in place and roaring wildly.
All the freshmen leaned close together, although the muscles of their faces and limbs twitched uncontrollably, but in order to survive, they tried their best to control and not let themselves tremble, clenched the bloody spear in their hands and did not dare to slack off, and one by one they held on to the last bit of strength, ready to meet the swamp beast to attack again.
But at this time, for some reason, the remaining swamp beasts suddenly turned around and ran into the depths of the jungle, and in just a few seconds, they ran away.
Everyone stood in a defensive position for a few moments, but the swamp beasts never returned.
One of the freshmen couldn't hold on anymore and sat down on the ground.
Seeing someone sit down, the other team members also collapsed like deflated balloons, and sat on the grass panting, but their eyes were still fixed on the corpses of the swamp beasts, as if they were worried that they would suddenly stand up.
After a while, one of the freshmen suddenly grabbed the shoulders of another freshman with both hands and shouted excitedly, "We won, haha, we won!" ”
At this time, everyone had a triumphant smile on their faces, and everyone cheered with tears in their eyes.
Wang Xiaopang and Li Hu glanced at each other, and the two stretched out their palms to strike each other, and then laughed heartily. Lin Yifan looked at these students, and his heart gradually became gratified.
