After eating, Jiang Xuan and Qingye chatted for a while about some situations and legends about Blackwater Lake.
Blackwater is a huge body of water. No one knows how big it is, because no one has ever been able to visit the entire Blackwater.
The situation in Blackwater is also quite complex, with lakes, swamps, grasslands, wetland forests, etc.
In this complex landscape, there are countless terrifying existences. Once inside, if you are not careful, you will die.
However, as the saying goes, crises and opportunities coexist.
In the dangerous waters of Blackwater Lake, there are still a large number of birds, animals, insects, fish and plants.
Every time they enter Blackwater, the crocodile tribe can always harvest a lot of prey. If they are lucky, they can also pick the fruits of magical plants that are of great use to warriors.
For example, the fruit that Qingye gave to Jiang Xuan was picked in Blackwater Lake.
Jiang Xuandao: "It sounds like Heishuize is very interesting. I really want to go there and have a look."
Qingye said: "If everything goes well, we will arrive at Blackwater Lake at noon tomorrow."
"Okay, then go to bed early, we have to continue our journey tomorrow."
Jiang Xuan covered himself with a soft animal skin that he carried with him, then used some reed poles picked by the water as a pillow, closed his eyes and began to sleep.
With glutinous rice balls guarding the nearby hills and divine vines wrapped around his arms, he could sleep peacefully.
Qingye was not sleepy. She sat next to Jiang Xuan and looked at the sparkling river under the moonlight. She didn't know what she was thinking...
The next morning, at dawn, Jiang Xuan woke up from his sleep on time.
At this time, the morning wind was cold, which made Jiang Xuan feel that it was actually winter.
The climate in the central part of the Southern Wilderness is really too warm.
The soldiers of the Crocodile Tribe also woke up one after another. They went to the river to wash their faces with cold water to wake up, then ate something and continued on their way.
"Crash..."
Hundreds of crocodiles carried people into the water and continued swimming forward.
Jiang Xuan was still sitting on the same crocodile as Qingye. He took out the smoked meat that was placed next to the fire last night and chewed it slowly.
"Hey..."
The dumpling is still flying in the sky. After a night's rest, it is full of energy and flies in circles excitedly.
At noon, they finally arrived at Blackwater Lake.
When Jiang Xuan saw Heishuize, he finally understood the origin of the name.
He stood on the back of the crocodile and looked around, only to see a vast expanse of water in front of him.
This water area is different from other places. The water looks black, which makes people instinctively feel uneasy after seeing it.
Even after flying to this water area, the glutinous rice balls dropped to a flying height and no longer dared to fly around.
Obviously, Tangyuan also noticed something unusual about this water area.
On the back of the crocodile, Qingye said with a serious face: "This is Blackwater Lake. Leader Xuan, you must be careful. It's best to follow me closely and don't wander around."
Jiang Xuan nodded. The Crocodile Tribe was much more familiar with this place than he was. Even if he was stronger, he could easily be in danger if he ran around.
It was obviously not the first time for hundreds of crocodiles to come to this water area. They swam in groups.
"Gugu...gu..."
After entering Blackwater Lake, Jiang Xuan often heard unknown birds chirping, as well as some small insects making strange sounds.
"Shashasha..."
When the crocodiles swam across a piece of grass floating on the water, Jiang Xuan heard the sound of running animals coming from the grass. Apparently some prey had escaped.
Jiang Xuan's spirit became highly concentrated. In such a strange and dangerous place, one cannot be too careful.
He stood on the back of the crocodile, holding a bronze war spear, and listened vigilantly to the movements around him.
Aoba is the same. At times like this, you have to be careful about what you say.
"boom!"
Not long after, the water surface in front suddenly broke open, and a huge water beast suddenly emerged from the bottom of the water. It opened its bloody mouth and bit into the crocodile of the crocodile tribe.
The crocodile was on guard for a long time. It suddenly flicked its tail and ran out quickly like an arrow from the string, narrowly escaping from the water beast's mouth.
"roar!"
The giant crocodiles in the crocodile tribe were not vegetarians either, and the largest crocodiles in front immediately began to fight back.
However, the water beast did not fight with those big crocodiles. After the sneak attack failed, it immediately got into the water and swam to nowhere in the blink of an eye.
Cimu's face became extremely serious, and the terrifying aura of the Seven-Color Warrior burst out, shouting: "Everyone, be careful, don't fall behind!"
For some reason, Cimu felt that today's trip to Blackwater Lake was particularly dangerous, but now that he was in, he had no choice but to be cautious.
Even Tang Yuan seemed to smell something unusual. It only flew above Jiang Xuan's head, flying very low.
But there are also benefits.
There were glutinous rice balls on guard in the sky, and with the few large crocodiles clearing the way, there were fewer birds and water animals that liked to make sneak attacks.
"Hiss..."
A big snake as thick as a water tank is wrapped around the tree. The color is almost the same as the tree trunk. If you don't move, it is difficult to find that there is a snake coiled on the big tree. You will only feel that the branches are a bit twisted.
When a group of crocodiles began to pass below, the snake's body began to tighten like a spring. Its cold and ruthless eyes stared at the person on the crocodile, ready to pounce at any time.
"Hey..."
However, just when the big snake was about to eject to eat people, a bird's song that sounded like cracking gold and cracking stone suddenly sounded in the sky.
"Huhuhu..."
Then, glutinous rice balls fell from the sky, setting off a strong wind that made the branches rustle.
Tangyuan's claws accurately grasped the snake's body, and then brought it up into the sky.
"Hiss...hiss..."
The big snake, which was dozens of meters long, was twisting crazily in the air, opening its huge mouth to bite the glutinous rice balls.
However, Tang Yuan has been eating snakes since he was a child and is very familiar with the various tricks of snakes.
It looked for an opportunity, lowered its head and pecked hard, piercing the back of the snake's head and neck.
The big snake struggled a few times, but it couldn't even lift its head, let alone bite the glutinous rice balls.
Tangyuan took it and flew to a huge old tree, and then quickly pecked at the snake meat.
"What a powerful and vicious bird!"
Below, the soldiers of the Crocodile Tribe were all shocked. They all knew this kind of big snake. Because it was good at camouflage, it was very difficult to deal with. Usually, many warriors of the Crocodile Tribe were killed in the snake's belly.
But today, Tangyuan easily caught and subdued this big snake as thick as a water tank.
The scary big snake became the food of glutinous rice balls.
Tangyuan carried the big snake, flew for a while, and found a place to stop and eat. It flew for a while, and found a place to stop and eat.
After it was full, he lifted the remaining big snake into the sky above Jiang Xuan and let its tail hang down.
Jiang Xuan took a rope, tied the big snake's tail, and then asked Tangyuan to put the big snake down.
"Boom!"
The big snake fell on the water and caused a large splash.
Even the speed of the big crocodile was slowed down because it had to drag a big snake.
Jiang Xuan pulled the big snake over, found the location of the snake gall, and then carefully removed the snake gall that was as big as a sea bowl.
There is a layer of gallbladder on the outside of the snake gallbladder, and inside is dark green liquid bile. You must be very careful. If it is broken, all the bile will flow away, and the snake gallbladder will be useless.
Such a large snake gallbladder is an excellent medicinal material for making witchcraft medicine, and is a real treasure for tribal people.
Jiang Xuan carefully tied the bile duct of the gallbladder with a string, then put the snake gallbladder in a small animal skin bag and hung it around his waist.
After returning home, he would find a ventilated place to hang the snake gallbladder. After it was dried, it could be used to make witchcraft medicine.
After getting the snake gallbladder, he peeled off the huge snake skin.
To be continued...
