A peaceful night. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
When it was dawn the next day, Hou Ping'an and the four of them all woke up. It's not that they don't want to sleep, but they haven't slept well because they've been worried, so it's better to get up early and hurry to find a safe place to sleep well.
Out of the jungle, the swamp looked so beautiful in the morning light. Rising and falling birds, the occasional roaring tiger and leopard, and even the chirping of insects filled this beautiful morning.
When I came yesterday evening, it was still incredibly quiet and dangerous, like some kind of death brink.
But now, this vibrant scene makes people can't help but walk in.
The traces of the python are still there, and most of the beasts will avoid it, which is a unique way of self-protection for animals in the face of the aura of natural enemies.
Most of the swamps, in fact, are similar to this place, rich in species and full of life. And perhaps the swamp of coldness and death in film and television works is only a few.
The most dangerous thing about a swamp is that the soil under your feet is not too compact, and it tends to sink into it when the pressure is too high. As long as you can determine where the soil is harder, it is not difficult to cross the swamp.
And Hou Ping'an didn't care about these at all, and the bushes and grasses that were overwhelmed from time to time pointed out a clear way for them. A road that is estimated to weigh thousands of pounds can be passed, and there is no reason why a few of them can't walk through.
Walking on the broad road formed by this giant python crawling, Qin Hao and the others were extremely excited. They had seen so many species that they hadn't seen before. Even Hou Ping'an, a soul from the era of the information explosion, has seen many animals that he has never seen. As for vegetation, it's even more.
It is always a white crane standing on one leg.
Grasshoppers jumping on the water.
Rabbits that can dive.
This is Yue Niu's description, just like a child who enters the zoo for the first time, everything he sees is novel.
When Yue Niu saw a herd of buffaloes, he wanted to go into the water to catch a few and use them as a means of transportation.
If Hou Ping'an hadn't stopped him in time, this guy wouldn't have fallen into a swamp, just if he caused a siege by buffaloes, it would be a hassle to escape. Hou Ping'an didn't think they could run a buffalo at speeds of more than 20 kilometers per hour in the swamp.
In fact, Hou Ping'an also wanted to catch one or two, but he didn't want to catch a buffalo, but a white crane. The cranes here were bigger than he had seen in the zoo before, so it shouldn't be a problem to carry a person.
He really wanted to catch one or two to ride and see if he could ride a crane down to the south of the Yangtze River as written.
Of course, just think about it, the white crane is not an ostrich. Hou Ping'an didn't say that he rode up and flew, it is estimated that it is impossible to carry him.
But he once heard some people boast on the Internet, saying that the meat of the white crane is delicious, and I don't know if it's true, anyway, in his original world, this thing is protected, as for here
Out of the swamp was a clearing, as if it had been sorted out artificially, strangely flat, but there was no trace of human activity around.
The open space is not large, and it is estimated that it is only the size of a village of 1,000 people, which is a drop in the ocean for this reckless jungle.
Hou Ping'an and the others stood at the edge of the swamp, carefully searching the surroundings, trying to see if there was an ambush.
Shielded by the reeds, they hadn't moved for half an hour, but they didn't see anything unusual, which made them even more nervous.
It is so unusual that there is not a single living creature on such a large open space, and there is not a single sound on it.
If the enemy does not move, I will not move, and what I am talking about is to strike backwards.
Before Hou Ping'an figured out the situation in front of him, before he had the ability to strike first, he felt that it was better for these people to stay here quietly.
Looking at the traces left by the giant python under his feet, the more Hou Ping'an thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
In ancient times, most of the flat land, except for some natural flat land, was used for cultivation. And a small part is for the human collection.
What is in front of them now is obviously not a world for planting crops, nor an orchard for planting fruit trees, so it can only be a place where some people have specially gathered. Look, this should be at least 2,000 people.
That is to say, Hou Ping'an, they entered a large tribe with at least two thousand soldiers.
This is not what he is most worried about, after all, there are not thousands of large and small tribes in southern Xinjiang, but there are still hundreds. But these tribes, never heard of them, would need to assemble in an open space.
The place where they gathered was basically where their village was. Like the one in front of him, such a large open space was specially created to be used as a gathering tribe, Hou Ping'an didn't want to say that he had seen it, and he had never even heard of it.
And if you look closely at the ground, you can see a lot of footprints of different shades, which means that this place is not only for gathering, but also for training here.
It seems that there are high-ranking people in this tribe who want to militarize the administration here.
The more I thought about Hou Ping'an, the more frightened I became, such an obvious thing with the style of the Zhou people should not have been done by the native-born tribesmen, which means that there are probably people from the Great Zhou here.
Could it be that this time there was a great chaos in southern Xinjiang, and the Great Zhou was mixed in it?
Hou Ping'an wanted to retreat on the spot and bypass this place. But after turning around and looking at the narrow path behind him, which was dozens of miles long, he gave up this idea again.
Not everything can be avoided, some things still need to be faced by yourself, and avoiding is not an effective solution to things.
"Mouse, calf, bear, stay here, I'll go out and have a look, and if you find any problems, you will notify me as soon as possible. ”
Although several people were more worried about Hou Ping'an going out, when it came to the ability to improvise, no one could be better than him, so they could only acquiesce in his risky move.
Hou Ping'an slowly walked out of the reeds, but only walked ten steps away. In the face of unknown dangers, it is impossible to be too cautious. He died once more than anyone else.
It was still so quiet that even the chirping of insects in the swamp behind him was lowered.
Ten steps further, it was still as quiet as before. But in the woods on the other side of the clearing, there was the shadow of the swaying trees.
Further ahead, this time Hou Ping'an walked directly twenty steps. It's not that he doesn't want to go any further, it's not that he just wants to take twenty steps. It's because when he wanted to take the twenty-first step, an arrow feather flew out of the woods and landed extremely accurately where Hou Ping'an was about to put his feet.
From Hou Ping'an to the opposite woods, there were at least fifty steps, and Hou Ping'an didn't see the archery shooter at all, which means that if that person was not hiding in a corner that Hou Ping'an couldn't see, then the closest distance he had to Hou Ping'an should be seventy steps away.
