Provoking his ex-uncle in Survival Variety Show
Chapter 160 Provoking Day 16【2 in 1】
Several people in Jiangcheng renegotiated the plan.
They tested the water depth of the swamp with the steel pillars of the tent. The water depth from the shore is about 1.4 meters five, which is half the waist height of an adult. The further you go to the center of the swamp, the deeper the water depth may be. It is estimated that the chest height, And this height is very vulnerable to crocodile attacks.
Therefore, the group did not dare to enter the water without making sure whether there were crocodiles lurking in the surrounding swamp environment.
"It seems to me that there are a lot of driftwood on the road, Azu and I will carry them over!" the medical soldier said with an idea.
"No, the distance is not short. It takes at least half an hour for you to go back and forth, and it's too late." Duma vetoed it.
She looked around, and the surrounding area was so clean that there were only long-stemmed bushes taller than people. The bushes were dense and attractive, and the wind blew and bent one piece. If there was something hiding in it, it would be difficult for them to find it in time. .
"Two people spread out in the direction of one o'clock, three o'clock, and nine o'clock, pay attention to the surroundings, and report immediately when you find the situation." Duma said, she looked at Jiang Cheng and Jian Xingce, "We will wait for the opportunity to rescue them come out."
Jiang Cheng nodded. He and Jian Xingce were arranging their claw hooks. After looking at each other, he turned to Duma and asked, "Did you see that big tree across from you?"
Duma looked in the direction Jiang Cheng was pointing at: "I see."
"Let's build a ropeway between this tree and that tree, and see if we can send people to the other side like this." Jiang Cheng said, pointing to a big tree four or five meters behind them, stretching out his hand After making a gesture, Duma immediately realized what Jiangcheng was going to do.
Not only do they want to rescue Bofeng and Alai, but they also have to shuttle out of this no-man's land in the hinterland.
Although they can choose to avoid the swamp area after rescuing Bo Feng and Alai, it is clear that the plan proposed by Jiang Cheng can not only rescue the two safely, but also cross the central swamp area, achieving double success in one fell swoop. .
Duma's eyes lit up slightly, and their claw hooks could bear the weight of at least three grown men. If they could successfully grab the big tree opposite, they would undoubtedly serve as a good "bridge".
"Good! It's a good idea!" Duma responded immediately.
Jiang Cheng had already packed it up, and he handed over the equipment to Jian Xingce: "I'll leave it to you."
Even if he doesn't give it, Jian Xingce will take over this task. Jiang Cheng's shoulders should be avoided as much as possible, and he will have to hold on to the rope to move forward later, and he must avoid the current shoulder stress.
Jian Xing replied, he glanced at the long-stemmed grass around him, and said in a low voice, "Be careful, pay attention to your surroundings."
"You too." Jiang Cheng replied.
Jian Xingce took the equipment and quickly climbed up the big tree behind him, because he had to take into account that he would bring Bofeng and Alai to the "Zhongdao", the height of the rope should not be too high, and it should be less than three meters from the ground. high.
It should be a relatively smooth operation as expected, but unexpectedly got stuck on the claw hook. The claw hook couldn't smoothly get stuck on the opposite tree trunk. Jian Xingce tried several times without success.
There is not much time left for them. The female crocodile has been away from the nest for a while and may return at any time. As for the group of small crocodiles, no one knows where they have gone, and they are also a ticking time bomb.
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng said decisively: "Throw down the claw hook, and I will take the other end of the claw hook to the opposite side!"
They can only choose the most primitive fixation method, but in this way, he is bound to go into the water and walk through this swamp area.
Jian Xingce's face changed slightly when he heard the words, but before he could speak, Duma interrupted: "You stay, I'll go."
Duma looked at Jiang Cheng and said without any rejection, "I'm their deputy team, so I should do this."
Jiang Cheng was speechless when he heard the words, so he had to hand over the claw hook to Duma.
After she made sure that her clothes and equipment could cover and protect her skin, she took one end of the dropped claw hook and wrapped it around her arm a few times.
"Azu, you will all follow Captain Jian Xingce's orders from now on. From now on, he will take my place until we meet at the other end of the island." Duma looked at Azu and the medical soldiers and ordered in a deep voice. .
Azu and the others knew that the current situation left them with no choice but to obey absolutely: "Yes, deputy team!"
Duma turned to Jiang Cheng and Jian Xingce: "I'll leave the rest to you."
"Be careful." Jiang Cheng responded, "We will keep an eye on your surroundings for you."
"Thank you." Duma nodded.
She took a deep breath and pushed aside the long-stemmed grass in front of her eyes.
There was still the dark brown swamp in front of him. From time to time, a bubble would slowly pop up in the distance near the swamp, as if there was some creature underneath that was breathing.
Duma knew that the presence of air bubbles did not mean that there were animals underneath. There were animals and plants rotting in the swamp all the time. The chemical gas released during the rotting process floated to the surface of the swamp, and it would blow out a bubble like something breathing underneath. Bubbles come.
But in the same way, despite this, it is not 100% sure that the bubbles are produced by decaying gas, and there is a half probability that there is really something underneath...
In the swamp, nothing is absolutely certain, and uncertain dangers abound.
Duma let out a breath slowly, and resolutely walked into the swamp.
As soon as she stepped into the swamp, a feeling of weightlessness immediately pulled Duma down continuously. Duma shook her body instinctively, flustered for a moment and then quickly calmed down.
The swamp mud was extremely heavy and full of rancid smell. As soon as Duma stepped into it, it was as if countless hands were pulling her down. It wasn't until the mud sank to her chest that she vaguely felt that she had stepped on the ground. .
Duma adjusted her breathing and groped forward.
Every step I took was like a tug-of-war with the surrounding silt. Duma used his hands to push away the silt and sewage around his chest, as well as some dead leaves and branches floating on the water.
Jian Xingce was still on the tree, put on the long claw hook rope, and observed Duma's surroundings just like Jiang Cheng.
A large pile of dead leaves floated on the water, slowly drifting towards Duma with the flow of the water waves.
Duma subconsciously stretched out her hand to push away the pile of leaves in front of her, but she didn't want her to push gently, and the pile of leaves scattered, suddenly revealing the corpse of a small mammal floating underneath.
As soon as she pushed away the fallen leaves, the corpse immediately jumped out, was pushed by the water waves, and hit Duma's chest.
Duma let out an exclamation, stepped aside suddenly, and only after pulling away from the distance did she focus on what it was.
Everyone in Jiangcheng was taken aback, and because of the angle, they couldn't see what happened to Duma.
Azu and the others leaned forward nervously and asked loudly, "What's going on!?"
"It's okay!" Duma heaved a sigh of relief, and shouted back to the shore, "It's just a dead squirrel."
Azu and the others were also relieved when they heard the words, and it was a false alarm.
Jian Xingce was on the tree and could see it more clearly. Seeing this, he frowned slightly: "What about the rot?"
Duma glanced at it, then frowned slightly.
She pursed her lips slightly to answer Jian Xingce's question: "...slightly rotten."
"Be careful, they may be nearby." Jian Xingce reminded in a deep voice.
Duma nodded, and also realized what Jian Xingce was thinking. The "they" didn't need to be pointed out by Jian Xingce, they all knew what they were referring to.
Duman didn't stay where he was, but hurried to the other side of the island.
——The temperature here is high and humid. Even the corpse of a beast that died less than three hours ago will rot in a large area. However, the corpse of the squirrel floating on the water just now is only slightly rotted, which means that it has not been long since it died.
And she noticed that the squirrel had many bite marks on its body, obviously attacked, not affected by the environment or small flash floods.
If they were unlucky, those little crocodiles might have finished their hunt and were planning to return with their prey.
Duma quickly rushed to Zhongjima.
Before passing by, she couldn't help but take a look at Bo Feng and Alai who passed out in the lair.
Taking a closer look, Duma noticed that not only were there bite wounds of different sizes and shades on the two of them, but there were also obvious signs of being dragged, and the equipment on their bodies was already damaged. injury.
Duma walked past the two of them and shouted twice: "Captain, Alai! Wake up!"
Bo Feng seemed to have heard something, he moved his fingers, and quickly opened his eyelids.
Seeing this, Duma was overjoyed: "Captain!"
Bo Feng's consciousness returned, his vision focused, and his eyes met Duma. After a moment of blank expression on his face, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and suddenly his face changed, and he shouted in panic and eagerness: "Hurry up! Get out of here quickly!" !"
"We're here to save you! Wait for us!" Duma said in a hurry, holding Bofeng's shoulders firmly, and glanced at Alai who was lying beside Bofeng, "We will definitely go back!"
Hearing this, Bo Feng looked towards the bank of the swamp, and saw his team members and Jiang Cheng Jian Xingce were there. He trembled slightly, and scolded in a low voice: "Take them back! Take them out of here!"
Duma didn't say anything more, she bit her lip, let go of her hand quickly, and continued to rush to the other side at a fast pace.
"Duma!" Bo Feng shouted, clutching the haystack under him tightly, his eyes were red, "I can't go in anymore! You will die, many people will die..."
Duma heard Bofeng's voice, she didn't look back, the other bank was only 50 meters away from her, she had already come here, she couldn't give up.
All of them have to go back in good condition, not at the cost of giving up anyone.
Duma fumbled forward, while Azu and the others scattered in their respective positions to observe the changes in the surrounding environment.
Suddenly, Azu exclaimed: "Deputy team! You are at two o'clock in front of your right! There is a situation!"
Suddenly, the waist-high pile of grass swayed and swayed unusually, and then the water surface under it rippled slightly, as if something had fallen into the water.
Duma was in the swamp, which happened to be her blind spot.
She subconsciously glanced around, the water surface was calm, as if there was nothing.
When she glanced over in a hurry and was about to look back, her gaze froze suddenly, and she suddenly looked behind herself——
I saw that the squirrel corpse floating on the water disappeared at some point!
She hastily looked in several other directions, but all she could see were bushes and grass and dark brown swamp water, nothing else.
A spontaneous threat climbed up Duma's back, and all the pores of her body opened and trembled.
After hearing Azu's voice, she immediately speeded up without the slightest hesitation, never caring about whether her large movements would attract any "attention".
Jian Xingce quickly noticed not only the direction Azu said, but also similar movements in the grass around the swamp. Something was approaching from all directions.
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng's pupils shrank slightly: "They seem to want to encircle?!"
"Too smart..." Azu murmured, his eyes widened, "Is it really a little crocodile? But I didn't see anything."
As if to confirm the words of Azu, Duma suddenly cried out in pain, and everyone looked over immediately.
Duma raised her arm violently, stretched out one hand to the back of her neck, grabbed something and tore it off, and saw that it was a small crocodile about the length of a forearm, with a sharp and long snout, covered in blood.
Duma's action suit was torn, and the small crocodile's fangs bit into the skin of the nape of his neck, but it wasn't deep, leaving only a circle of shallow bite marks that bleed.
The little crocodile was still struggling in Duma's hands, but Duma let it slide into the swamp without catching one.
Duma panicked slightly, she felt the fluctuations of the water under her body rushing towards her from all directions!
She didn't have time to take a few more steps forward, and there was another sudden pain in her legs, and she was bitten by something and pulled down heavily. She was caught off guard and fell into the swamp, and her whole body was lost in the swamp go.
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng stood up abruptly, and Duma quickly broke out of the water again, gasping for breath. Holding a dagger in her hand, she plunged into the water suddenly, but missed. The wound was bleeding continuously, dripping into the dark swamp.
In just a few seconds, Duma's body was seriously injured, and she could no longer maintain the calmness she tried to maintain on her face. The devil's fangs under the water were everywhere, attacking her almost quickly and without interruption!
"Swim to the shore! Hurry up! It's less than 20 meters away!" Jiang Cheng shouted, and at the same time quickly took out the flare gun from his backpack and quickly reloaded it.
This place is like the place where they called for help from the headquarters before, with dense vegetation, and once the flare gun is fired, it will be knocked down and fall to the water.
That's why neither Bo Feng nor Jiang Cheng's group chose to call for help immediately.
With communications equipment not fully restored and only the original flare guns remaining, their support was limited.
The signal flare cannot be used to call for help, but it can keep burning for a long time, even if it falls on the water.
Jiang Cheng grabbed the flare gun, aimed at the water near the swamp around Duma and fired a shot.
The temperature of the flare flare is enough to scare off the baby crocodiles for a short time, but this is not a long-term solution. The crocodiles can sense the temperature change, and instead the water will become their target.
At first, Duma didn't choose to use flares to escort her to clear the way because of this factor. She was afraid that this would attract the female crocodile instead.
But now they can't take care of so many.
As the signal bomb fell into the water, there were obvious vertical water ripples on the surface of the swamp rushing away quickly.
Duma got a short respite, she ignored the pain on her body, and swam towards the shore in a sullen way!
She struggled to climb up the river bank, and the bank was covered with mud, and she couldn't step on it at all.
She propped up her body twice in a row, and suddenly, she was grabbed by a small crocodile that circled around her. The pain caused Duma's veins to bulge.
When she crawled out of the swamp, the eyes of Azu and the others suddenly turned red, and they saw that Duma had almost no piece of complete equipment on her body, and it was only the last few minutes of effort that she was bitten so badly that her skin was torn apart. No exaggeration.
The only fortunate thing is that Duma is still carrying a marching bag behind him, and the heavy backpack equipment has partially protected Duma.
Those seemingly small and miniature crocodiles turned out to be so ferocious and shocking that they completely stunned everyone.
Jiang Cheng also clenched his fists and gritted his teeth suddenly.
Duma dragged her body and moved step by step towards the big tree, stepping on the cluster of aerial roots around the tree to climb up. The blood on her body left mottled red bloodstains on the tree.Her face was covered with water and sweat, and her whole body was trembling slightly from the pain.
Duma finally moved herself to the tree. She tried her best to wrap the grapple rope wrapped around her arm around the thick tree, and tied it twice with her bare hands.
She raised her hand towards Jian Xingce, signaling that everything was ready.
After Duma finished all this, she leaned against the tree trunk and didn't want to move anymore. She panted and coughed with difficulty, pulled out the hemostatic bandage and hemostatic medicine from her backpack, and applied the medicine for herself with trembling hands.
Her arms and legs were almost the hardest-hit areas, and even a small piece of flesh was bitten and adhered. Duma sprinkled the wound with medicinal powder, groaning in pain and curled up, her head covered in cold sweat.
After Jiang Cheng and the rest of the team put on the rope in Duma, they immediately climbed up the rope while hanging upside down, with their feet crossed and wrapped around the rope of the claw hook, and they crawled along the rope towards Nakajima like an inchworm. .
Jiang Cheng led the way, followed by the medical soldiers and Azu, and then the rest of the team. Jian Xingce stayed at the end, in case the tree trunk couldn't hold its strength and loosened.
Jiang Cheng and the medical soldiers arrived at Nakajima one after another. Seeing this, Bofeng immediately fastened the safety buckle to Alai's waist, and made the other end into a zipline to buckle the rope. Jiangcheng and the medical soldiers took Alai who was still in a coma. Move towards Duma a little bit.
Bofeng was escorted by his teammates who came after him, but the weight of the rope was limited, so Bofeng and his team had to wait until Jiangcheng and the medical soldiers brought Alai to the other side, before they could act again.
Fortunately, the speed at the other end was not slow, and it was considered smooth. It arrived at Duma's side without any obstacles. Duma wanted to get up to help, but when she moved, the wound on her body began to bleed, and Jiang Cheng stopped her. .
Jiang Cheng and the medical soldiers quickly let Alai down first, and then signaled Bofeng and his party to get on the rope.
The medical soldiers quickly checked the wound for Alai, while Jiang Cheng quickly glanced at Jian Xingce's side. Seeing that the situation on Jian Xingce's side had not changed, and the claw hook was very secure, he was slightly relieved.
He turned to Duma, and treated Duma's wound.
The injuries on Duma's body were shocking, and even Jiang Cheng couldn't help taking a breath.
No matter how careful his movements are, he will still touch the wound, and it will bleed out when he touches it.
"I want to clean up the dirt around you, reduce inflammation and stop bleeding, and re-bandage, it will hurt, so bear with it." Jiang Cheng looked at Duma.
Duma's face was pale, and her lips were bloodless. She nodded and grinned silently at Jiang Cheng: "I can bear it."
"Good girl." Jiang Cheng whispered, he stroked Duma's cold forehead reassuringly, and immediately began to deal with it unceremoniously.
Duma suddenly took a deep breath, and her whole body jumped up from the tree trunk, the veins on her forehead and neck all burst out due to the pain and exertion.
The medical soldiers quickly took a look at Jiang Cheng's side, seeing that there was no problem with Jiang Cheng's handling method, so they had to let Jiang Cheng handle it by default.Alai's injury is more complicated, and even the waist and abdomen need suturing and debridement, which can only be done by him.
The pain of debridement caused Alai to wake up from the coma. He took a deep breath and opened his eyes wide, as if he hadn't realized that he was already safe. He was about to open it reflexively. He fell into the swamp below, and was grabbed by Jiang Cheng swiftly.
"Alai! It's me!"
The medical soldier roared and held down the man. Only then did the man come to his senses. He stared blankly at his teammates, and after two seconds he yelled, "You can't stay here! Go away!"
"It's safe, you're safe!" Azu held the opponent down so that the medical soldiers could continue to sew up the wound. "Calm down, the wound will burst open again!"
Jiang Cheng subconsciously looked over, and from the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed the other side of Bofeng, and saw Bofeng and a few others climbing on the ropes and moving this way, and under them, there were groups of people floating on the water with their noses and eyes exposed. baby crocodile.
The group of small crocodiles opened their mouths slightly and floated motionless on the water like dead wood. The scales on their bodies blended in with the color of the surrounding swamp water, serving as a natural cover.
Bofeng and the others naturally noticed the threat below them, and moved towards the shore in fear.
But their attention was all focused on the water below them, and they didn't notice that diagonally across from them, among the long-stemmed grass, a huge and completely different figure slowly appeared on the shore.
It crouched in the grass, its brown eyes were cold and numb, watching every move here without emotion.
Jiang Cheng gasped. Just judging from the part of its body exposed from the grass, it must be a giant crocodile with a body length no less than six meters!
The female crocodile has returned to the nest!
Before he had time to remind Jian Xingce and Bo Feng, the female crocodile suddenly moved.
It slowly propped up its stubby and powerful limbs, slowly approached the swamp, and slid into the water silently.
"One o'clock direction! Pay attention to the return of the female crocodile!" Jiang Cheng shouted.
Jian Xingce, Bo Feng and the others immediately looked towards the other side when they heard the words, but only had time to see a long, sharp and thick tail slipping into the water, and soon disappeared completely.
The faces of Bo Feng and the others suddenly became extremely ugly.
They have seen how crocodiles hunt. They can jump out of the water suddenly. Their long and powerful tails are like springs for jumping, and the height of their jumps can even be half of their body length!
They are still too low.
"Quick! Go!" Bofeng crawled to the team member in front of him, that person was still trying to pull him forward, and there were subordinates behind him protecting him to help him move, but Bofeng knew he couldn't go any faster , will only drag down his subordinates.
He gritted his teeth: "Go forward! Don't look back!"
"team leader!?"
Bofeng pulled out the dagger from his waist, bowed vigorously and was about to cut off the safety rope on his body, but suddenly heard the sound of a signal ejection, and instantly a bright red light illuminated the half of the forest.
In just a few seconds, the flare fell into the water surface of the swamp on the opposite side from Bofeng and his party.
Bofeng and the others noticed the female crocodile floating on the water surface. It floated quietly on the water, and its brownish-yellow vertical pupils opened and closed for a moment, as if judging which way to go.
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng's pupils shrank suddenly, and he suddenly looked at Jian Xingce. The burning red light of the signal flare reflected Jian Xingce's figure as if he was surrounded by a flame.
Jian Xingce also looked at Jiang Cheng, and the two eyes briefly met for two seconds, and Jiang Cheng's heart beat faster.
Without saying anything, Jian Xingce jumped directly from the tree into the water, holding the two-meter-long tent steel pole in his hand and slapped the water surface vigorously, causing the water waves to sway in circles.
The female crocodile in the water suddenly turned around, swung its long tail, and swam fast in the water, rushing straight to Jian Xingce.
They tested the water depth of the swamp with the steel pillars of the tent. The water depth from the shore is about 1.4 meters five, which is half the waist height of an adult. The further you go to the center of the swamp, the deeper the water depth may be. It is estimated that the chest height, And this height is very vulnerable to crocodile attacks.
Therefore, the group did not dare to enter the water without making sure whether there were crocodiles lurking in the surrounding swamp environment.

"Two people spread out in the direction of one o'clock, three o'clock, and nine o'clock, pay attention to the surroundings, and report immediately when you find the situation." Duma said, she looked at Jiang Cheng and Jian Xingce, "We will wait for the opportunity to rescue them come out."
Jiang Cheng nodded. He and Jian Xingce were arranging their claw hooks. After looking at each other, he turned to Duma and asked, "Did you see that big tree across from you?"
Duma looked in the direction Jiang Cheng was pointing at: "I see."
"Let's build a ropeway between this tree and that tree, and see if we can send people to the other side like this." Jiang Cheng said, pointing to a big tree four or five meters behind them, stretching out his hand After making a gesture, Duma immediately realized what Jiangcheng was going to do.
Not only do they want to rescue Bofeng and Alai, but they also have to shuttle out of this no-man's land in the hinterland.

Jiang Cheng was speechless when he heard the words, so he had to hand over the claw hook to Duma.
After she made sure that her clothes and equipment could cover and protect her skin, she took one end of the dropped claw hook and wrapped it around her arm a few times.

Azu and the others knew that the current situation left them with no choice but to obey absolutely: "Yes, deputy team!"
Duma turned to Jiang Cheng and Jian Xingce: "I'll leave the rest to you."
"Be careful." Jiang Cheng responded, "We will keep an eye on your surroundings for you."
"Thank you." Duma nodded.
She took a deep breath and pushed aside the long-stemmed grass in front of her eyes.

Every step I took was like a tug-of-war with the surrounding silt. Duma used his hands to push away the silt and sewage around his chest, as well as some dead leaves and branches floating on the water.
Jian Xingce was still on the tree, put on the long claw hook rope, and observed Duma's surroundings just like Jiang Cheng.
A large pile of dead leaves floated on the water, slowly drifting towards Duma with the flow of the water waves.

Duma walked past the two of them and shouted twice: "Captain, Alai! Wake up!"
Bo Feng seemed to have heard something, he moved his fingers, and quickly opened his eyelids.
Seeing this, Duma was overjoyed: "Captain!"
Bo Feng's consciousness returned, his vision focused, and his eyes met Duma. After a moment of blank expression on his face, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and suddenly his face changed, and he shouted in panic and eagerness: "Hurry up! Get out of here quickly!" !"
"We're here to save you! Wait for us!" Duma said in a hurry, holding Bofeng's shoulders firmly, and glanced at Alai who was lying beside Bofeng, "We will definitely go back!"
Hearing this, Bo Feng looked towards the bank of the swamp, and saw his team members and Jiang Cheng Jian Xingce were there. He trembled slightly, and scolded in a low voice: "Take them back! Take them out of here!"
Duma didn't say anything more, she bit her lip, let go of her hand quickly, and continued to rush to the other side at a fast pace.
"Duma!" Bo Feng shouted, clutching the haystack under him tightly, his eyes were red, "I can't go in anymore! You will die, many people will die..."
Duma heard Bofeng's voice, she didn't look back, the other bank was only 50 meters away from her, she had already come here, she couldn't give up.
All of them have to go back in good condition, not at the cost of giving up anyone.
Duma fumbled forward, while Azu and the others scattered in their respective positions to observe the changes in the surrounding environment.
Suddenly, Azu exclaimed: "Deputy team! You are at two o'clock in front of your right! There is a situation!"
Suddenly, the waist-high pile of grass swayed and swayed unusually, and then the water surface under it rippled slightly, as if something had fallen into the water.
Duma was in the swamp, which happened to be her blind spot.
She subconsciously glanced around, the water surface was calm, as if there was nothing.
When she glanced over in a hurry and was about to look back, her gaze froze suddenly, and she suddenly looked behind herself——
I saw that the squirrel corpse floating on the water disappeared at some point!
She hastily looked in several other directions, but all she could see were bushes and grass and dark brown swamp water, nothing else.
A spontaneous threat climbed up Duma's back, and all the pores of her body opened and trembled.
After hearing Azu's voice, she immediately speeded up without the slightest hesitation, never caring about whether her large movements would attract any "attention".
Jian Xingce quickly noticed not only the direction Azu said, but also similar movements in the grass around the swamp. Something was approaching from all directions.
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng's pupils shrank slightly: "They seem to want to encircle?!"
"Too smart..." Azu murmured, his eyes widened, "Is it really a little crocodile? But I didn't see anything."
As if to confirm the words of Azu, Duma suddenly cried out in pain, and everyone looked over immediately.
Duma raised her arm violently, stretched out one hand to the back of her neck, grabbed something and tore it off, and saw that it was a small crocodile about the length of a forearm, with a sharp and long snout, covered in blood.
Duma's action suit was torn, and the small crocodile's fangs bit into the skin of the nape of his neck, but it wasn't deep, leaving only a circle of shallow bite marks that bleed.
The little crocodile was still struggling in Duma's hands, but Duma let it slide into the swamp without catching one.
Duma panicked slightly, she felt the fluctuations of the water under her body rushing towards her from all directions!
She didn't have time to take a few more steps forward, and there was another sudden pain in her legs, and she was bitten by something and pulled down heavily. She was caught off guard and fell into the swamp, and her whole body was lost in the swamp go.
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng stood up abruptly, and Duma quickly broke out of the water again, gasping for breath. Holding a dagger in her hand, she plunged into the water suddenly, but missed. The wound was bleeding continuously, dripping into the dark swamp.
In just a few seconds, Duma's body was seriously injured, and she could no longer maintain the calmness she tried to maintain on her face. The devil's fangs under the water were everywhere, attacking her almost quickly and without interruption!
"Swim to the shore! Hurry up! It's less than 20 meters away!" Jiang Cheng shouted, and at the same time quickly took out the flare gun from his backpack and quickly reloaded it.
This place is like the place where they called for help from the headquarters before, with dense vegetation, and once the flare gun is fired, it will be knocked down and fall to the water.
That's why neither Bo Feng nor Jiang Cheng's group chose to call for help immediately.
With communications equipment not fully restored and only the original flare guns remaining, their support was limited.
The signal flare cannot be used to call for help, but it can keep burning for a long time, even if it falls on the water.
Jiang Cheng grabbed the flare gun, aimed at the water near the swamp around Duma and fired a shot.
The temperature of the flare flare is enough to scare off the baby crocodiles for a short time, but this is not a long-term solution. The crocodiles can sense the temperature change, and instead the water will become their target.
At first, Duma didn't choose to use flares to escort her to clear the way because of this factor. She was afraid that this would attract the female crocodile instead.
But now they can't take care of so many.
As the signal bomb fell into the water, there were obvious vertical water ripples on the surface of the swamp rushing away quickly.
Duma got a short respite, she ignored the pain on her body, and swam towards the shore in a sullen way!
She struggled to climb up the river bank, and the bank was covered with mud, and she couldn't step on it at all.
She propped up her body twice in a row, and suddenly, she was grabbed by a small crocodile that circled around her. The pain caused Duma's veins to bulge.
When she crawled out of the swamp, the eyes of Azu and the others suddenly turned red, and they saw that Duma had almost no piece of complete equipment on her body, and it was only the last few minutes of effort that she was bitten so badly that her skin was torn apart. No exaggeration.
The only fortunate thing is that Duma is still carrying a marching bag behind him, and the heavy backpack equipment has partially protected Duma.
Those seemingly small and miniature crocodiles turned out to be so ferocious and shocking that they completely stunned everyone.
Jiang Cheng also clenched his fists and gritted his teeth suddenly.
Duma dragged her body and moved step by step towards the big tree, stepping on the cluster of aerial roots around the tree to climb up. The blood on her body left mottled red bloodstains on the tree.Her face was covered with water and sweat, and her whole body was trembling slightly from the pain.
Duma finally moved herself to the tree. She tried her best to wrap the grapple rope wrapped around her arm around the thick tree, and tied it twice with her bare hands.
She raised her hand towards Jian Xingce, signaling that everything was ready.
After Duma finished all this, she leaned against the tree trunk and didn't want to move anymore. She panted and coughed with difficulty, pulled out the hemostatic bandage and hemostatic medicine from her backpack, and applied the medicine for herself with trembling hands.
Her arms and legs were almost the hardest-hit areas, and even a small piece of flesh was bitten and adhered. Duma sprinkled the wound with medicinal powder, groaning in pain and curled up, her head covered in cold sweat.
After Jiang Cheng and the rest of the team put on the rope in Duma, they immediately climbed up the rope while hanging upside down, with their feet crossed and wrapped around the rope of the claw hook, and they crawled along the rope towards Nakajima like an inchworm. .
Jiang Cheng led the way, followed by the medical soldiers and Azu, and then the rest of the team. Jian Xingce stayed at the end, in case the tree trunk couldn't hold its strength and loosened.
Jiang Cheng and the medical soldiers arrived at Nakajima one after another. Seeing this, Bofeng immediately fastened the safety buckle to Alai's waist, and made the other end into a zipline to buckle the rope. Jiangcheng and the medical soldiers took Alai who was still in a coma. Move towards Duma a little bit.
Bofeng was escorted by his teammates who came after him, but the weight of the rope was limited, so Bofeng and his team had to wait until Jiangcheng and the medical soldiers brought Alai to the other side, before they could act again.
Fortunately, the speed at the other end was not slow, and it was considered smooth. It arrived at Duma's side without any obstacles. Duma wanted to get up to help, but when she moved, the wound on her body began to bleed, and Jiang Cheng stopped her. .
Jiang Cheng and the medical soldiers quickly let Alai down first, and then signaled Bofeng and his party to get on the rope.
The medical soldiers quickly checked the wound for Alai, while Jiang Cheng quickly glanced at Jian Xingce's side. Seeing that the situation on Jian Xingce's side had not changed, and the claw hook was very secure, he was slightly relieved.
He turned to Duma, and treated Duma's wound.
The injuries on Duma's body were shocking, and even Jiang Cheng couldn't help taking a breath.
No matter how careful his movements are, he will still touch the wound, and it will bleed out when he touches it.
"I want to clean up the dirt around you, reduce inflammation and stop bleeding, and re-bandage, it will hurt, so bear with it." Jiang Cheng looked at Duma.
Duma's face was pale, and her lips were bloodless. She nodded and grinned silently at Jiang Cheng: "I can bear it."
"Good girl." Jiang Cheng whispered, he stroked Duma's cold forehead reassuringly, and immediately began to deal with it unceremoniously.
Duma suddenly took a deep breath, and her whole body jumped up from the tree trunk, the veins on her forehead and neck all burst out due to the pain and exertion.
The medical soldiers quickly took a look at Jiang Cheng's side, seeing that there was no problem with Jiang Cheng's handling method, so they had to let Jiang Cheng handle it by default.Alai's injury is more complicated, and even the waist and abdomen need suturing and debridement, which can only be done by him.
The pain of debridement caused Alai to wake up from the coma. He took a deep breath and opened his eyes wide, as if he hadn't realized that he was already safe. He was about to open it reflexively. He fell into the swamp below, and was grabbed by Jiang Cheng swiftly.
"Alai! It's me!"
The medical soldier roared and held down the man. Only then did the man come to his senses. He stared blankly at his teammates, and after two seconds he yelled, "You can't stay here! Go away!"
"It's safe, you're safe!" Azu held the opponent down so that the medical soldiers could continue to sew up the wound. "Calm down, the wound will burst open again!"
Jiang Cheng subconsciously looked over, and from the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed the other side of Bofeng, and saw Bofeng and a few others climbing on the ropes and moving this way, and under them, there were groups of people floating on the water with their noses and eyes exposed. baby crocodile.
The group of small crocodiles opened their mouths slightly and floated motionless on the water like dead wood. The scales on their bodies blended in with the color of the surrounding swamp water, serving as a natural cover.
Bofeng and the others naturally noticed the threat below them, and moved towards the shore in fear.
But their attention was all focused on the water below them, and they didn't notice that diagonally across from them, among the long-stemmed grass, a huge and completely different figure slowly appeared on the shore.
It crouched in the grass, its brown eyes were cold and numb, watching every move here without emotion.
Jiang Cheng gasped. Just judging from the part of its body exposed from the grass, it must be a giant crocodile with a body length no less than six meters!
The female crocodile has returned to the nest!
Before he had time to remind Jian Xingce and Bo Feng, the female crocodile suddenly moved.
It slowly propped up its stubby and powerful limbs, slowly approached the swamp, and slid into the water silently.
"One o'clock direction! Pay attention to the return of the female crocodile!" Jiang Cheng shouted.
Jian Xingce, Bo Feng and the others immediately looked towards the other side when they heard the words, but only had time to see a long, sharp and thick tail slipping into the water, and soon disappeared completely.
The faces of Bo Feng and the others suddenly became extremely ugly.
They have seen how crocodiles hunt. They can jump out of the water suddenly. Their long and powerful tails are like springs for jumping, and the height of their jumps can even be half of their body length!
They are still too low.
"Quick! Go!" Bofeng crawled to the team member in front of him, that person was still trying to pull him forward, and there were subordinates behind him protecting him to help him move, but Bofeng knew he couldn't go any faster , will only drag down his subordinates.
He gritted his teeth: "Go forward! Don't look back!"
"team leader!?"
Bofeng pulled out the dagger from his waist, bowed vigorously and was about to cut off the safety rope on his body, but suddenly heard the sound of a signal ejection, and instantly a bright red light illuminated the half of the forest.
In just a few seconds, the flare fell into the water surface of the swamp on the opposite side from Bofeng and his party.
Bofeng and the others noticed the female crocodile floating on the water surface. It floated quietly on the water, and its brownish-yellow vertical pupils opened and closed for a moment, as if judging which way to go.
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng's pupils shrank suddenly, and he suddenly looked at Jian Xingce. The burning red light of the signal flare reflected Jian Xingce's figure as if he was surrounded by a flame.
Jian Xingce also looked at Jiang Cheng, and the two eyes briefly met for two seconds, and Jiang Cheng's heart beat faster.
Without saying anything, Jian Xingce jumped directly from the tree into the water, holding the two-meter-long tent steel pole in his hand and slapped the water surface vigorously, causing the water waves to sway in circles.
The female crocodile in the water suddenly turned around, swung its long tail, and swam fast in the water, rushing straight to Jian Xingce.
