The skins of two large crocodiles were peeled off and thrown on a stone to be exposed in the sun. As for the meat, they were cut and grilled on the bonfire. In a short time, the aroma was overflowing. The whole body of crocodile is muscle, and its meat fat content is less than half that of beef. It tastes particularly delicious and is a rare delicacy.
Two large crocodiles over three meters long were enough to eat five people.
Leng Yun's mood was a little low, and she couldn't help but think of Qin Min, who was eating meat and talking with everyone last night. It was a live and individual life that was separated from life and death in the blink of an eye. People who have never experienced this will never understand this feeling. Leng Yun even had the illusion that she was not dead. But her reason told her that this was impossible. Qin Min was completely dead. She was afraid that even the body might have been eaten by a passing monster.
The gap was so strong that I was not mentally prepared at all.
Zhang Mu handed over a skewer of crocodile meat: "Don't be too sad. Only when you fill your stomach will you have the strength to fight."
"I understand." Leng Yun nodded and took the meat skewers from Zhang Mu's hand. The heat of the barbecue was just right. The surface was slightly burnt, but the inside was cooked and oozing with attractive oil. Leng Yun took a bite. The crocodile meat was a bit old, but it tasted great. Of course, this aspect is determined by barbecue technology.
Sun Bing asked: "This swamp is very large. It won't be easy for us to get through it."
The fat man heard this and agreed: "Yes, it's all mud. Not to mention how hard it is to walk."
"Do we need to take a detour?" Chen Ling whispered, and she looked around: "This place is too big, it will take at least a day or two."
Zhang Mu said while eating meat: "There are many ways, don't worry."
When everyone was full, the crocodile skin was almost dry in the sun. Zhang Mu cut the crocodile skin into long, strong ropes, and then asked everyone to cut the reeds. After a while, a large piece of reed was placed in front of him.
The fat man was puzzled: "Boss, what are all the reeds for? They can't be eaten!"
Zhang Mu picked up a reed and broke it gently. "The reed itself is very light and has a hollow structure, so it can generate enough buoyancy. We make a reed raft and swim upstream from the swamp. This will be easier than walking across it." Much easier.”
Leng Yun's eyes lit up and she said, "What a great idea!"
The fat man was a little worried, "What if a monster like a fish emerges from the water?"
Zhang Mu shook his head and said: "This swamp obviously doesn't have much standing water. The heavy rain last night made the water temporarily deeper, so there won't be any large monsters. Of course, you still have to be careful. The absence of water monsters does not mean that there are no monsters living in the swamp." Monsters, crocodiles being an example, beware.”
The fat man said: "That's good, that's good."
A few people chopped wood for reinforcement, and used ropes made of crocodile skin to build two lightweight rafts. As for using excess reeds to make some lifebuoy-like tools, if you accidentally fall into the mud, you can still create buoyancy and prevent yourself from getting stuck in the mud.
Five long bamboos were found as paddles, and the five people pushed the raft into the water. Leng Yun, Chen Ling, and Sun Bing were riding on a raft. The fat man couldn't swim and weighed as much as two people, so he and Zhang Mu shared a raft and set off.
Zhang Mu held on to a slender bamboo pole and moved forward in the wetland. Because of last night's heavy rain, the middle of the swamp was filled with black and turbid muddy water. However, the water was not deep, about half a meter to one meter, and there was a thick silt swamp under the water. When the bamboo pole is inserted into the mud, there will always be a lot of bubbles coming out of it, releasing a smell similar to that of a septic tank.
This is methane, methane produced by long-term accumulation of plants. The swamp must be very deep, and you will die if you fall into it.
The five people paddled forward with bated breath. The reed raft floated six to seven hundred meters. The terrain became more low-lying and the water became deeper. There were patches of reeds on all sides, most of which were more than two meters high and full of ears. The small beige flowers, when a gust of wind blows across the earth, wrinkles the water surface and blows down the reeds, looking up, there is a vast expanse of green. There are many dandelion-like plants, and a piece of white seeds are raised.
Under the blue sky and in the gentle breeze, greenery spreads thousands of miles away, and wild birds fly together. In the bright sunshine, in the gentle waves of the water, the reeds are everywhere, and the sky is full of white catkins.
What a poetic sight!
No one appreciates it!
The five people had only one thought in their minds, and that was to leave the swamp quickly.
This kind of place makes people feel insecure. Danger may appear at any time. No one knows whether the raft will capsize in the next second. For about ten minutes, everyone was praying in their hearts that there would be no accidents. But sometimes, the more you are afraid of something, the more you encounter it.
The disturbing situation finally happened.
When the two rafts passed a particularly large reed swamp, a "quacking" sound was heard from the reeds in front, and a large group of frightened gray birds flew up from it.
Zhang Mu raised his hand, and everyone stopped paddling, all staring nervously into the reeds.
Sun Bing asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
Zhang Mu replied in a low voice: "There seems to be something, let's take a detour."
Leng Yun's heart skipped a beat, as she was surrounded by a bottomless swamp, and she was more than a thousand meters away from the other shore.
If attacked, the consequences would be disastrous.
Everyone focused their attention. The reeds were too tall and dense, so they couldn't see what was inside. However, no one questioned Zhang Mu's words, and several people immediately turned around and prepared to go around. At this time, there was a sound coming from the reeds, and something was constantly squeezing the reeds. Judging from the swaying reeds, it was probably quite big, and it was moving towards it. Cold sweat broke out on the fat man's face: "Damn it." , what the hell is it!”
That thing is getting closer and closer, many reeds are being bent, getting closer, getting closer...
Sun Bing took out his shield: "It's coming!"
The nearby reeds were squeezed away, and when he was about to emerge, a strange scene appeared, and the sound in the reeds disappeared. The five of them were ready to fight, but they were all stunned when they saw nothing emerge from the reeds.
Chen Ling held the ax nervously, "Why... why did it suddenly disappear?"
Gulu gulu!
In the sewage, a large number of bubbles emerged from the water.
Zhang Mu's pupils suddenly shrank and he shouted: "Be careful, it's underwater!"
boom!
The water surface suddenly broke open. It was a giant python that was 13 or 14 meters long. It had white rings all over its body. Its triangular head was spitting out letters, and it was staring at a few people with its cold eyes. It was four stories tall and slightly thicker than an adult man. It was truly an unheard of giant python!
[Swamp Anaconda], level 8 bronze elite, health 600, magic 300, attributes? ? ? ,Skill? ? ? , Introduction: A cruel water anaconda becomes more powerful because it is corrupted by evil power.
The fat man screamed: "Holy shit, did you make a mistake?"
The speed of the bog anaconda was so fast that no one had time to react. The giant tail swept over with great force. The reed rafts of several people were knocked over on the spot. The five people fell directly into the turbid and sticky muddy water, and their feet were stuck. In the mud of the swamp, a large amount of methane was stirred up during the struggle. Countless bubbles rolled out of the muddy water. The stench hit the face and made people dizzy. The muddy water was irritating, like pepper water, making it difficult to open the eyes.
"Damn it, damn it! I hate water!" The fat man was like a fat pig falling into the water, struggling in panic and shouting: "Where did such a big snake come from!"
This is an anaconda. In fact, there is no essential difference between anacondas and pythons. They are just different in their reproductive methods. Anacondas are mainly ovoviviparous, while pythons are mostly oviviparous. This huge snake is generally not venomous, but it is very fast. If it gets entangled, it will be dead.
Zhang Mu poked his head out of the muddy water. The position where he fell into the water was far away from the others. The reed raft was completely blown away and scattered everywhere. Fortunately, all five of them were wearing lifebuoys made of reeds, and they all surfaced in time. However, they all turned into clay figures, with their mouths and noses filled with smelly mud, which made them unable to breathe smoothly, and they couldn't catch their breath for a long time.
The four-story-high body of the giant python was lifted up and bent into a dangerous S shape, as if it was about to attack. Once this kind of giant snake entangles its target, it will instantly break all the bones in the body. If it is entangled in the muddy water of the swamp, there will be no possibility of escape and it will be a certain death.
When life was hanging by a thread, ordinary people would have panicked, but Zhang Mu calmly analyzed the situation, immediately found the chance of survival, and shouted loudly: "Reed, that piece of reed, hurry up to that piece of reed. Since you have endured the python's attack, weight, then it must be able to bear our weight!”
When the four of them heard this, they felt like they had grasped at straws. There is no chance of winning in a water battle. If you fight on land, there is still hope of defeating it. The giant python weighs at least 300 kilograms. It can move on reeds, and others can stand on it.
Leng Yun raised his staff and shot an ice arrow at the giant python, causing 45 points of high damage. The effect of the frost slowed it down a lot. Sun Bing pulled the fat man and was working hard to move towards the reed area, followed closely by Chen Ling.
"Hiss!"
After the giant python was shot by the ice arrow, it became completely angry and turned around to attack Leng Yun.
Sun Bing and the fat man climbed up 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 taunting skill. He was instantly angry and turned around to look at Sun Bing. Sun Bing was struck by the gloomy giant. His eyes widened, his legs felt weak, and he hurriedly turned around and ran into the reed area.
Zhang Mu's judgment was correct. There was a lot of mud under the reeds, so there was a piece of ground. Although it was very incomplete and concealed a lot of puddles, it was always better to walk deeper and deeper than to fight in the water. The giant python was so fast that it set off two waves of water and rushed over like a dragon.
In panic, Sun Bing suddenly lost his feet. His whole 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 wrap around his body, and began to use the unique trick of the python to wrap and strangle.
Sun Bing turned on his petrified skin, but because of his physical constitution, he could not resist the python strangulation. At this time, Zhang Mucai had just stepped onto the reed area. He was more than ten meters away and had no time to rescue him.
Seeing this, the fat man roared, his whole body was covered in red energy and rushed towards him. He savagely collided with the giant python's body, causing 44 points of high damage. At the same time, with the impact, he just knocked the giant python's head over with both hands. He picked up the jungle blade and struck forward. The jungle sword's attack power of up to 24 points, combined with the astonishing strength of the berserker, caused 32 points of damage, while cutting through the tough scales and skin of the python.
The giant python roared, swiped its tail vigorously, and slapped the fat man on the chest.
This blow seemed simple, but in fact it was extremely powerful. The fat man, weighing more than 250 kilograms, flew out from the reeds and fell into the muddy water. He took a few mouthfuls of dirty and smelly muddy water and almost fainted in the water. .
"Fat man!"
Zhang Mu was shocked and stretched out his hand to pull.
