After dinner, the two packed up their things and went to bed early. Steven stayed on duty for half the night as usual. He sat by the campfire and began to practice the Soul Flame Technique. When he naturally exited the silence, he looked at the time and it had just arrived in the early morning. He was preparing for more.
He waited for a while and woke Kate up later in the night. Then it suddenly started raining. Seeing that the bonfire was about to be extinguished by the rain, Steven had no choice but to get into the tent.
Fortunately, they took precautions against rain when they chose the campsite, so they didn't have to worry about the tent being flooded. Steven got into the tent to take shelter from the rain, and the campfire was extinguished. He sat in the tent and let go of his senses. The jungle on a rainy night seemed...
It was quieter than usual. Maybe many nocturnal animals were hiding from the rain at this time. Without their noise, Steven couldn't help but doze off and fell asleep on his sleeping bag not long after sitting. Kate woke up naturally in the middle of the night.
Come, listening to the sound of rain outside the tent, I can only sit up in the tent and wait for the heavy rain to stop.
The heavy rain finally stopped when the sun was about to rise in the early morning. The two hurriedly got out of the tent, packed their things, ate some dried meat and set off.
After the rain, the jungle was full of water, and the morning mist evaporated by the temperature of the tropical sun was particularly dense. The two of them cut branches and shrubs in the planned direction and walked in the wet jungle. Soon they came to the edge of the rain forest.
A large swamp appeared in front of them. The jungle was temporarily vacated here. The sun shone on the water of the swamp. There were some clumps of water plants and slanting tree trunks in the water. This swamp was blocking their way forward.
Kate took out the compass, checked the direction, then looked at the swamp and said: "Steven, this swamp looks very big. If we follow the planned direction, we will go directly into the swamp. It seems we have to make some adjustments. I
I think it’s more appropriate to go to the left, what do you think?”
Steven replied: "I don't know how deep this swamp is yet! Let's walk around it to the left. Even if we change to go due south, it won't have much impact."
So the two of them changed their route towards the left side of the swamp, which is due south. They moved along the edge of the swamp, and sometimes they would inevitably get stuck in the mud. They had to take off their leather boots, untie the canvas leggings tied to their calves, roll up their trousers and wade in.
Water moves forward.
The speed of traveling here is not even as fast as in the jungle. Fortunately, the water in this swamp is clear and there is a green jungle next to it. Fish jump out of the water from time to time. There are a few white clouds floating in the blue sky above our heads, but there are no such things as those under the canopy.
It felt dark and damp, and both of them thought the scenery was quite nice.
But when it was almost noon, they were forced to stop. Just now they passed a grassland. There were many locusts in the grass. Somehow, these vampires climbed onto their legs and sucked their blood crazily.
, they were forced to run dozens of meters away from the grass, and then stopped to deal with the locusts.
Steven sat on the shore, pulled off the last leech attached to his calf, and threw it into the water. Kate was also beside him, handling the leech on his instep. He lowered his head and said, "It seems to work."
You have to stay far away from this swamp, Steven. Even if you are walking in the jungle, wearing boots and leggings can effectively protect you from these bugs."
Steven nodded, stood up, and was about to speak, but suddenly stopped. He turned around, took off his backpack and threw it to the edge of the jungle more than ten meters away. He took out the straight knife on his back and took two steps towards the water.
Then he said to Kate: "Kate, there is something big coming in the water, please step back!"
After Kate heard this, she threw away the last leech she tore off, then took off her backpack and the boots hanging on it, and retreated towards the jungle.
Steven stood up straight and looked at the water not far ahead. There was a huge head just below the water. It only exposed its nostrils on the water. It swam towards him, and its nostrils exposed were facing towards him.
Two water lines stretched out diagonally behind, breaking the calm water surface reflecting the blue sky and white clouds.
It was a Cuman crocodile. Steven was not nervous after confirming it. Instead, he wanted to wait for it to come up. The meat on the tail of the Cuman crocodile is very firm and elastic. It is a famous delicacy in the southern part of the New World. Steven wanted to hunt this one.
Cuman crocodile, prepare a delicious grilled crocodile tail for today’s meal.
As the crocodile approached Steven, he had already made plans to dodge first and then attack, but then he discovered that the Cuman crocodile was really huge. Its head under the water was almost as big as
It is 1 meter long, and the average Cuman crocodile is usually about 4 meters long. The length of its head is only half that of this one. This one is obviously a big guy swimming over.
Steven was still standing on the shore. The crocodile suddenly jumped up from the water after approaching Steven, opened its big mouth full of sharp teeth and bit Steven's leg. Steven dodged back.
, avoiding its big mouth, the crocodile did not flinch after biting the air, but rushed towards the shore.
Kate stood a few meters behind Steven. He was looking at the crocodile washed up on the shore with some surprise. In addition to being larger than the normal size, there was something even more incredible about this thing: it actually had six legs.
Two more legs grew under its armpits, and those two legs were the same size as the front and rear legs. They were crawling on the ground. There were also two tentacles on the lower jaw at the front of its mouth, following its head.
Shaking from side to side.
Kate reminded Steven loudly: "Steven! Be careful! This crocodile is a bit strange, it may be a mutation!"
Steven was holding the straight knife in front of him, stepping back sideways, and said without looking back: "I saw it! Kate! This should be a mutated crocodile, shoot its eyes with a hunting bow!"
After the huge crocodile came ashore, it still rushed towards Steven without mercy. On the way, it suddenly opened its mouth and spurted out a water ball from its mouth. This water ball was extremely fast and came to Steven in an instant.
In front of Wen’s chest!
Steven felt a sense of horror when the crocodile opened its mouth and sprayed water. He immediately activated the burst skill, and when the water ball was about to fly to Steven's chest, he turned sideways to avoid the water ball, and the water ball splashed out.
Some water splashes touched the clothes on Steve's chest, and instantly he felt a coldness spreading on his chest, immediately freezing the water-stained areas on his body!
The water ball passed over where Steven was standing and flew to the edge of the jungle more than ten meters behind him. The water ball hit the trunks, branches, leaves and shrubs of several short trees. The splashing water instantly froze those plants in the ice.
middle!
The water ball sprayed out by the crocodile is so powerful! And it obviously contains ice elemental power! The two of them were really shocked. This was the first time they saw a creature other than humans that could use elemental power!
Of course, the previous whip pythons and giant spiders might also have some kind of elemental power. This was what they inferred after killing the spider, but this very obvious way of using elemental power in this crocodile was indeed the first time they had seen it.
