() Those sailors bravely carried Mo Qilin to the edge of the swamp and ran back quickly.
I saw the ink unicorn slowly walking to the edge of the swamp with three legs. Those giant earthworms seemed not to care about him and allowed him to drill straight into the mud. [Search for the latest updates at
"Look! I've told you before! That guy is a monster! It's a lie!" The old turtle gritted his teeth and said, "If I catch him again, I'll skin him immediately!"
Du Fei was also very angry, and really wanted to send his troops to attack immediately, but he felt that there were too many of these giant earthworms. If he fought head-on, he would have no problem winning, but he would definitely suffer a relatively large loss.
Calculated in this way, it is too worthless. You must know that the number of these insects reproduces very efficiently, and his crew cannot be replenished immediately after they die. If they fight hard, it will be too cheap.
He began to get excited about the idea of using explosives and kerosene, so he quietly said to Nangong Feiyun: "Find a way to get these bugs together, get a few packs of explosives and get rid of them!"
But Nangong Feiyun said: "It's not easy to deal with. These bugs are in the swamp, and the power of the explosives will be greatly weakened! Besides, they won't gather together without meat! Do we have to throw a living person in?"
Du Fei frowned after hearing this. Just as he was thinking hard, he suddenly heard the sailors in the front row shouting: "It's out! The big bug is out!"
I saw the mud in the swamp began to stir violently! A huge insect suddenly emerged from the mud. It stood upright and was more than a foot tall! But the head still had no eyes and nose, only a terrifying round shape.
The big mouth opens and closes.
At this moment, the Mo Qilin appeared. He seemed very excited. When he saw Du Fei, he shouted: "Don't shoot! I have already negotiated with their leader! They require you to donate a certain amount to them."
If you eat enough meat, it can help you cross the swamp!"
"Sir! You must not trust them!" the old turtle shouted: "What's going on? A bug can think? How can we trust him? Where can we find so much meat?"
"Sir! I think it's too ridiculous!" Nangong Feiyun also came over and said, "Be careful of fraud!"
"Stop talking!" Du Fei suddenly seemed to have made up his mind: "I have made up my mind. You guys should be on guard in the base here. When I come back, I will go there to find the spring water alone!"
"What!" The old turtle was frightened when he heard Du Fei's crazy decision: "Are you crazy? This is obviously a scam! They will take the opportunity to eat you!"
Du Fei said extremely confidently: "They can't hurt me. What I'm worried about is you. You must be careful! In addition to these giant earthworms, there are other dangerous creatures in the dense forest!"
"Is this your final decision?" Nangong Feiyun looked at Du Fei's unwavering expression and said, "If that's the case! I'll go with you too!"
The old turtle then shouted: "It doesn't matter if my old bones die! Let me go!"
"Don't be stupid!" Du Fei patted the two of them on the shoulders and said, "You still have a very important task to complete! While I'm away, you must do your best to collect food! Marinate the captured prey into dried meat and prepare it.
Use it during long voyages! We don’t have much food anymore! We don’t have time to wait for the wooden bridge to be repaired! No matter how difficult and dangerous it is, I will give it a try!”
Seeing that he could not be persuaded, the old turtle could only sigh and said: "Since you have decided, we can't convince you, but they ask for meat. Where do we get the meat now? Do we need our brothers to feed them?"
"
"Move out ten boxes of 'box meat'!" Du Fei said through gritted teeth. He valued these non-perishable foods, but for the sake of the swamp as soon as possible, he had to reluctantly part with them.
"Oh! That's nothing!" The old turtle and the sailors seemed to look a little relaxed after hearing this sentence. It seems that they are still very taboo about the things on the ghost ship. Knowing that this can get rid of those cursed things, they all
Very happy.
So the sailors began to open all ten boxes of "box meat" as agreed, and threw them little by little towards the giant earthworms who were waiting with their big mouths open!
Those earthworms had never eaten such delicious meat before, and they all ate to their heart's content. In the end, the leader was so addicted to the food that he couldn't wait to eat and swallowed the whole box of unopened meat! The strange thing is that
Nothing happened at all!
What a terrifying creature! Du Fei thought to himself: These 'box meats' are sealed with thin iron sheets, and he actually swallowed even the iron sheets... What a monster!
The insects were satisfied and sank one after another. After the biggest one finished eating, he leaned down and let Du Fei ride on him.
Du Fei patted Mo Qilin's head with his hand and said, "Well done! Wait for me here!"
"Don't leave me!" Mo Qilin glanced at the sailors and said, "I'm afraid those guys will stew me if you leave... I want to go with you! You are not familiar with the terrain inside! I will follow you
I can help you lead the way!"
"It's nothing to take you there, but your feet... can you do it?" Du Fei knew his injury very well, and he couldn't move violently at all.
"It's okay!" Mo Qilin raised his head proudly and said, "You don't know, I also have a special skill, which is walking upside down!"
After saying that, he put his front feet on the ground, his back feet in the air, and took a few steps with his head down, and it turned out to be very smooth.
"Okay!" Du Fei picked him up and put him on the back of the huge earthworm. The huge earthworm carried them and quickly ran across the swamp, like a lonely boat in the sea.
The strange thing is that the thousand-year swamp that can almost wipe out all living creatures seems to have no obstacle to the giant earthworm. Du Fei estimated for a while that he, Mo Qilin and this huge earthworm weighed at least a thousand kilograms. Normally,
If you put it in the mud, it will sink immediately, and you won't even see its shadow. However, the giant earthworm floats lightly on the swamp, as light as a dragonfly perched on the tip of a lotus.
This swamp was much wider than he imagined. He began to be glad that he did not insist on completing the wooden bridge. After he fully understood the length of the swamp, he realized how stupid and stupid his initial idea was.
unrealistic.
Finally seeing the edge of the swamp, Du Fei felt that the scenery in front of him suddenly became clearer, and it was no longer a lifeless gray expanse.
"He said he would come here to pick us up in three days, so we should not miss the time, otherwise we should not blame him for not keeping the promise." Mo Qilin said after making a strange chirping noise to the big bug.
Du Fei looked at the clear mountains and forests, as if he had returned to his home in Mount Sumeru. He took a deep breath and suddenly felt much more relaxed.
"Master! Be careful!" Mo Qilin suddenly panicked: "There is a dragon fly's nest on the edge of the swamp. We'd better not stay here for too long, otherwise we won't know how we will die!"
"Dragon fly?" Du Fei had never heard the name of this kind of creature before and asked in surprise: "What is that?"
"That's a very cruel bug! It's even harder to communicate than those earthworms. I once tried to contact them, but they couldn't listen to anything at all! They just thought they were obeying the 'Queen's' orders! I almost almost
Lose your life!" Mo Qilin seemed to be very afraid of this thing called dragon fly.
"There are so many weird things on this island!" Du Fei cursed one after another: "What a bad luck! We are about to find the spring water, and troubles are coming one after another!"
"You don't know yet?" Mo Qilin widened his lion eyes and said, "This island is called Dragon Snake Island, and it is a famous dangerous place. Of course, people hundreds of years ago knew that there were no islands around the island at that time.
There's an undercurrent now, but people don't dare to get close. People nowadays probably don't know how powerful the creatures on the island are, so there are always a few of us guys who don't know the heights of the world and come in and die! Oh! Master! I'm not talking about you!"
"It's nothing, you mean, this is Dragon Snake Island..." Du Fei vaguely remembered that he had read an ancient book decades ago. There was a poem in it describing the difficulty of the road to Shu.
He used the island of dragons and snakes as a metaphor. At that time, he didn't understand what it meant, so he asked his teacher. Mr. Nachi shook his head and said: "This book is a collection of poems by a famous poet a thousand years ago. Who knew what he said?
Where is it? Don’t get too carried away! In short, you just know that it is a very dangerous place!”
It turns out that the dangerous place that the poet was referring to is here! He used overlapping metaphors. The first sentence is to say, it is better than the Temple of Hell, and the second sentence is, don’t let the Dragon and Snake Island! According to the grammar, in this place
In the eyes of the poet, Dragon Snake Island is a more terrifying place than the Yama Palace. This shows how terrifying this place was more than a thousand years ago!
Du Fei wanted to say something more, but before he could say anything, he heard a buzzing sound coming from far away, approaching them quickly!
"It's broken! They're coming!" Mo Qilin was about to dig into the mud: "Hurry and grab my horn! I will take you to hide in the mud! I can still hold you up for a while!"
"Forget it! Come in if you want! I won't hide in the mud!" Du Fei gritted his teeth and said, "What dragon fly? I want to see it!"
Seeing that Du Fei couldn't come, Mo Qilin had no choice but to plunge into the mud, but he still stuck his head out: "Be careful! Dragon flies live on meat and sulfur! They will spit out fireworks from their mouths and burn people! Be careful.
Don't get too close to them!" After saying that, he plunged his head into the mud and never showed up again.
Suddenly Du Fei felt a strange buzzing sound behind him! It was like the sound of wings flapping sharply! He knew that the person coming was Bushan, so he turned around and pulled out a sword with one hand and a musket with the other.
He never expected that the enemy had quickly come behind him and almost hit his nose! What he saw was a huge fly. Calling it a fly was actually a bit misnamed. It was actually more like a mosquito.
, especially the huge thorn at the end of the slender body.
Du Fei didn't have time to look at it carefully, and shot it with one shot! At the same time, he dodged sideways! The head of the dragon fly was hit, and the head exploded. Although the dragon fly was killed, his body still carried the inertia.
Fly straight forward!
Du Fei hurriedly dodged sideways to avoid the body of the flying dragon fly. At this moment, he suddenly remembered a louder buzzing sound in the sky! He hesitantly raised his head and saw a large black area in the sky.
Dragon flies, large and small, densely filled the field of view.
A drop of sweat dripped from Du Fei's forehead.
He understood that he had made a big mistake this time!
After a moment's hesitation, dozens of dragon flies were already swooping in from the air! Each of these dragon flies was as big as a face. The sting at the end of the tail alone was several inches long, and their wings were spread out over ten feet.
Wide! If this kind of thing swoops down from the air and stabs or hits it, even a person with steel and iron bones will have all his bones broken!
Du Fei quickly raised his musket and fired several shots! Several dragon flies fell crookedly to the ground, leaving small holes on the ground. It looked like these dragon flies were very heavy.
But Du Fei only had one musket, how could he withstand dozens of dragon flies charging together? After shooting down several dragon flies, those dragon flies rushed close to Du Fei, and Du Fei had to use the sword in his other hand.
After swiping repeatedly, he chopped down a few dragon flies and then started fighting and retreating.
Seeing that the attack was in vain, the dragon flies began to besiege. Those dragon flies with red bodies began to spray small streams of fireworks from their mouths. Those fireworks sprayed towards Du Fei, and Du Fei almost fainted from the burning!
All the clothes were on fire.
Du Fei knew that the breath sprayed by these dragon flies was a kind of hot breath, which was a high-heat gas produced after the fermentation of food and sulfur in the body. It was different from real flames, but being sprayed was not a joke, so he tried his best to
dodge.
But those dragon flies seemed to have unified thinking and command, constantly besieging him from all directions. It was Du Fei who ignored the other. Fortunately, Du Fei's sword skills were fast enough, and he still did not forget to fight back in the encirclement, killing him one after another.
Get closer to your dragon fly.
Just when Du Fei and the flies were locked in a bitter battle, they heard a strange sound! As if they had received some irresistible order, the dragon flies immediately stopped attacking and flew away in groups.
Du Fei stared blankly at the large group of dragon flies going away, and then he realized that the ground was unknowingly covered with dragon flies that he had hacked to death.
"Thanks to me carrying this thing with me, otherwise it would have been a disaster!" Mo Qilin jumped out of the mud, holding a strange-looking leaf in his hand.
"What sound did you make just now?" Du Fei asked curiously: "Why did they run away as soon as they heard that sound?"
"Hey!" Mo Qilin said proudly: "I told you that I know the situation here very well. This sound is imitating the cry of a natural enemy of dragon flies. Once such a thing appears, the dragon flies will
I was so frightened that I immediately ran away with my head in my arms!"
"Such a scary thing has natural enemies? What are its natural enemies?"
"Its natural enemy is... ah - thunderbird!!" Mo Qilin suddenly looked behind Du Fei in horror!
A cold breath came from behind... Du Fei couldn't help but shudder.
