Looking at this incomplete logbook, Fang Senyan not only has no regrets in his eyes, but a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He couldn't help but started talking to himself:
"Do you think that by doing this, you can cover up the truth of the matter???"
"It's... naive!!"
Fang Senyan continued to study the contents of the diary:
"The legend...appears to be true."
"Momole, who was shot by those damn natives, actually crawled out of the grave!!"
"..."
Fang Sheyan chose the wrong route when he first came here, that is, he tried to attack directly in the A-level difficulty world to achieve his goal. Although this way of thinking is very clear, strictly speaking, if he can go all the way, he will definitely be able to To achieve their own goals, but the high self-confidence made the ace team just entered the core area of the Dubai Swamp, then suffered a huge loss and had to give up.
It was precisely because of the clear thinking at that time that Fang Senyan always felt that he had overlooked something very important, but he couldn't remember it, because after all, most of his energy had to be focused on the route he took at that time.
So now that Sheyan started to free up his hands to pay attention and go all out, he immediately discovered a lot of useful things from the diary. (See the previous article here: Bernard Falk's Handbook of Navigation.)
First of all, it can be seen from the existence of Mormoor that the method adopted by Bernard Falk should be very unique: even a horse can be protected into the core area of the Dubai Swamp, and even the ordinary small horse at that time Horses can eat the sun ladder-this basically excludes the scope of alchemy and black magic, because the service objects of these two abilities obviously do not include livestock-apparently, they were only discovered when they escaped after they succeeded . Before that, they even reached the altar of the natives of Dubai safely!
Sheyan noticed a landmark building mentioned here: "huge fire". Of course, Sheyan quickly memorized this key point.
In addition, Travis mentioned in the diary should have become the "infected mature body" he had encountered before, gaining the power of immortality, but lost his own nature and succumbed to instinct.
Also, the cause of death of the two-year-old African horse Momo was shot by the natives with a javelin... This coincided with Fang Sheyan's previous speculation, that is, the Buriya people may have very powerful enemies with long-range attacks, That's why they are so good at avoiding and reducing the enemy's long-range damage!
This discovery is even more important! An enemy's enemy may not be a friend, but Sheyan can at least be sure that there may be fierce conflicts inside the Dubai Swamp, and this kind of conflict has a long history, and the hatred should be deeply rooted and irreconcilable. It means that Sheyan at least has a goal that can be used to muddy the water!
Fang Senyan had completely given up on returning at this time. For him, after realizing that one road was blocked and almost desperate, another golden road suddenly appeared. There is no way out in doubt, and the feeling of another village!
Although the most crucial part of that Bernard Falk's navigation manual was destroyed by the young Lord Fokke, for Fang Senyan, this is definitely not an insurmountable gap, and what is placed in front of him is nothing. In the headless case, although the process of entering the hinterland of the Dubai Swamp was hidden in the mist by man-made sabotage, Sheyan knew the cause and the end of this period!
It's like a mess of silk thread, but the beginning and the end of the thread have already appeared in front of him, so what Fang Sheyan has left is to follow the direction of the end of the thread to the end of the thread, and of course he has enough for himself. Confidence to fully restore the whole incident!
…
The night in the primeval forest is extremely hot. On the blazing bonfire, half a skinned lemur and a python are roasting. The tempting aroma has been released. Mbenga is carefully observing the fire, sprinkling some salt from time to time And powder, his expression is very focused. It is true that in this primitive and harsh environment, food and reproduction are two elements that must be given sufficient attention and awe.
Fang Senyan, who was sitting beside the fire, was motionless, his brows were furrowed tightly, and the sweat dripped down from his forehead, which wet his hair, making it very uncomfortable to stick to his forehead. The strong smell of sweat attracted a large number of stinkbugs, small bites, sandflies, and black flies, which gathered above Fang Sheyan's head and buzzed like a cloud. Fortunately, the insect repellent drugs of the natives were very effective, so they could only starve. Thirsty, greedy, but hovering helplessly, but dare not land on the prey that is rushing in front of it!
"I see!"
Sheyan suddenly stood up straight, clenched his fists and said loudly! His eyebrows stretched instantly, and because of this, he crashed into the cloud of blood-sucking insects above his head. Immediately, Fang Senyan couldn't help but fell into a very embarrassing situation, and hurriedly wiped his face with his hands.
When Mbenga saw it, he hurriedly picked up a burning tree branch, and then kept shaking it in the air. Immediately, those blood-sucking insects landed one after another, being burned by the flames, making a burst of noise. Unbearable burnt smell.
After driving away the large groups of blood-sucking insects, Fang Senyan threw a bottle of rum to Mbenga, then sat back on the ground, swept away the dead branches and leaves to reveal the flat ground, and broke off a The branches began to quickly write and draw on it.
"First of all, I can think about a problem substitutively. If I am suffering from a serious illness that is about to die, and I have no special strength, I bring a group of murderers, fraudsters, and pirates, and come across the ocean to this wild place to find The legendary life-saving drug, so what's the first thing to do... "
"Yes, a camp!! A solid camp that provides reliable protection and a good night's sleep. Even explorers with well-directed maps will leave camp before going on an expedition, so they can lay down excess supplies there , you can go into battle lightly, and you will not run out of food when you return. After all, the nearest port of Qombe is also tens of kilometers away. For ordinary people like them at that time, this was enough in the middle of the jungle. Been trekking for days…”
"Let me think again, this camp should never be too close to the Dubai Marsh, otherwise, the damn smell and ubiquitous disease will directly destroy this team. This camp should never be too far away from Dubai The sub-giant swamp is too far away. For those who want to explore this dangerous swamp, it is not a good idea to waste too much energy trekking in the primitive tropical jungle, so a distance of two to three kilometers is a pretty good choice. "
Fang Senyan's branches write and draw on the dirt floor, traveling through hundreds of years, it seems that everything that happened that year is being clearly outlined and restored in his thoughts.
"Oh! By the way, they have sailed almost half the world to get here, and they definitely can't prepare enough fresh water. As for the fresh water in the Dubai Swamp, there is a lot of fresh water, but it takes enough courage and vitality to drink it. Then one point should be added to the characteristics near the camp: it has abundant fresh water resources, which can support at least ten people plus one horse. Considering the tropical rainforest climate here and the absence of large rivers nearby, there is a landslide nearby , landslides, mudslides, floods and other natural disasters that change the terrain are very unlikely, so that fresh water resource should still exist at this time!"
"Then, what am I waiting for? Every second I stay in this world is a very expensive waste!" Sheyan made up his mind:
"Okay, Mbenga, have you had enough? Well, no, so I don't mind if you take our kebabs on the road, you should know the rivers around the Dubai Swamp that you can drink water from? Of course , spring water also counts. You only know three places? It doesn’t matter, let’s go to the place you know first.”
…
Four hours later, Mbenga was panting and exhausted.
No matter who it is, after trekking hundreds of kilometers in the tropical virgin jungle in such a night with a temperature exceeding 35 degrees, the performance will definitely not be much better than him. In this short period of time, He has accompanied Sheyan to visit three streams and two springs.
At this time, in front, a South American tapir was limping away. Not only had this poor animal been bled, but it had also been forced to drink a lot of salt. Terrible.
Yes, Mbenga may not know about all the freshwater resources around here, but these animals sure do! Because if they don't know, then it is impossible to live until now.
Relying on such a slightly cruel method, Sheyan is heading towards a fresh water resource point in an unknown place. He was very patient at this time. The hot weather did not arouse his anger, but made him calmer. He felt that he enjoyed this process quite a lot—this kind of process that does not rely on muscles and blood, but only relies on the brain, slowly Yes, the process of stripping away the dust and veil of time bit by bit, and restoring the truth of history before your eyes!
There was a small river in front of him, and the South American tapir had completely ignored the pursuers behind him. The extreme thirst had made it completely ignore everything, and it almost entered a state of madness!
