Chapter 30 Battle of Snake Swamp
"Zhou Xirui...Acuo..." Xiaopei's anxious voice came from above, and they quickly answered, "We are under here!" Xiaopei pulled the thatched grass at the entrance of the cave and looked down, but the hole was dark. He couldn't see the bottom, but he could hear the sound. We're fine. Be careful not to fall down. It's muddy and dirty," Zhou Xirui roared below. He knew that Xiaopei loved to be clean. If she fell in such an environment, it would be more uncomfortable than killing her.
"Oh, I don't have a rope here. How can I get you up?" Xiaopei asked anxiously. Zhou Xirui looked at the bottom at least 30 meters away from the small hole above. It seemed impossible to climb up. He shined around with a flashlight and found that there was a hole in front of him that did not know where to lead to: "You just stay on it. Let's walk along the hole in front of us and find the exit and we will come to you. Be careful not to fall down!" Zhou Xirui roared up below.
"Oh, it's killing me. I don't know if there are any bugs in this mud. Take a few steps back safely!" A Cuo's body was itchy to death. He scratched hard and told Xiaopei to go back and not to fall down.
Originally, Xiaopei was going to jump down with them, but she hesitated to hear this. She said, "Then be careful. I'll go up and wait for you!"
The two resisted the itching on their bodies and agreed loudly. They walked to the depths of the cave with the cat with a flashlight to see if they could find the exit. The hole went shorter and shorter, and in some places, it even had to bow and crawl. From time to time, the bag on its back was stuck, so it had to stop to take off the bag and drag it forward. Also, be careful not to fall into the mud next to it, because you can't figure out how deep the mud pit is here. In case you can't step to the bottom, you are likely to lose your life here. The march here is really difficult, which reminds Zhou Xirui of the text that described the Red Army crossing the grassland and falling into the swamp when he went to school.
I didn't expect that there was a real experience here today. This environment is more devastating than what is written in the book. The two of them walked dizzy in this cave for more than an hour, and Zhou Xirui has not found a place to go out. Fortunately, there are cracks in the top of the cave from time to time, which makes them feel that they can still go out, so they are not too panicked. But the cracks at the top of the cave are either too high to go up or too small to get out.
When he walked to a corner of the cave, he suddenly heard a huge sound of water in front of him. It sounded like a waterfall in front of him. There was a burst of ecstasy in his heart. It seemed that he could go out and take a shower. But then a familiar cry immediately calmed them down. From time to time, there were a few "gugu". Obviously, it was the cry of a human-faced snake. They couldn't forget the ferocious face, which was a face that only appeared in nightmares.
His heart jumped violently and his body trembled slightly. Zhou Xirui tried to calm himself down. He must find a way to rush out. At this time, fear is useless. He said to himself in his heart, and then tried to calmly think about the weakness of this snake. The most powerful thing about this snake is that it can make a very painful sound to its prey. As for whether it has poisonous teeth or not, as Xiao Pei said, it is not very clear, so now the most What is urgently needed is to plug their ears so that they can't hear its cry. Two of them have machetes in their hands, and the cat is also around, so the monster may not have a greater chance of winning than himself.
Thinking of this, he quickly took out a bottle of chewing gum from the backpack full of mud, regardless of the mud on his hand, picked up two of them and put them in his mouth and chewed them. He chewed softly and stuffed it into his ears. In order to prevent it from falling, he took out the band-aid and stuck it to the ear canal. For the sake of safety, he tore a shirt and wrapped the cloth tightly around his head several times in the direction of his ears. He helped Acuo tie it tightly like this. The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. It was the mud that tied the bandage again, which was very like a mummy.
Not to mention that this method is really effective, even the huge sound of water from the waterfall outside sounds very vague. They did the same, chewed all the remaining chewing gum, stuffed it into the cat's huge ears, and carefully tied it up. Then he patted its big head and pointed outside, meaning to tell it that they could only fight with water. The cat is extremely smart, and the owner's look has already understood it. Bow immediately and enter the ready state of attack at any time.
They turned to the cave outside. Sure enough, there was a waterfall and a pool outside the waterfall. There are two terrible human-faced snakes coiled in the mud, but they are not as big as the one I saw last time, with thick arms. There are many small human-faced snakes in the mud, and it seems that these two snakes give birth here. Unexpectedly, so many little snakes were born. How many of these things were in the jungle? The two felt a huge chill.
The two human-faced snakes also saw them and quickly swam towards them. This thing does not sink in the mud. It can float on the mud like a flat ground and comes to them in a blink of an eye. Fortunately, the snake was not big enough to swallow them, so the two relied on a machete in their hands to avoid the snake's frontal attack and cut at the nearest snake. The cat also quickly avoided the attack of another snake and tried to bite the snake's neck.
The cat's speed is so fast that the snake has no time to avoid being bitten. It desperately wrapped its body around the cat's neck and wanted the cat to suffocate to death. But the cat's neck is very thick, and it doesn't have time to wrap it tightly. Its neck has been bitten off by the cat. Its head fell to the ground and still made a rapid cry, but unfortunately, the cat's ears were blocked and the cry did not work for it.
Although another snake on this side dodged Zhou Xirui's machete, it was cut off by one-third by Acuo's knife. The snake was extremely fierce. Although only half of its life was still quickly bitten by Zhou Xirui, Zhou Xirui was attacked by it and retreated, but the monster only looked at the front and did not notice that the cat behind had solved another one. The snake is biting its neck. In just two seconds, the fierce human-faced snake was also in a different place. But the demon snake is extremely tenacious. Not only is its head still screaming, but its body is still constantly twisting.
This reminded Zhou Xirui of the broken bone snake he met in Laojun Mountain. He was afraid that the snake's body could be connected to its head again. Acuo was asked to pick up the stone next to him, and the two of them hit the snake fiercely until they smashed it so badly that they couldn't stop. Look at the snake's head still muttering, but both of them dare not smash it, and they are instinctively afraid of that face.
There was an unpleasant smell of rotting corpses in this cave, and the two of them didn't want to stay for a moment. They jumped into the pool outside the waterfall and swam to the opposite shore with the cat. He couldn't wait to take off his clothes and jump back into the water to wash hard. He helped the cat wash it again and climbed up to the shore and was blown by the wind. It felt very refreshing and no longer itchy.
They washed the backpack and the contents together with the clothes, and then put most of them back into the wet backpack. Each left a set of clothes and trousers and found a branch to hang on it. The two of them resisted their shoulders and climbed to the mountain. When they came out of the hole, they couldn't figure out the direction. They wanted to climb to the top of the mountain to see where they fell, so that they could find Xiaopei.
It's a little frustrating that in the narrow place in the cave just now, all the tents and other equipment that could not pass were thrown away. At that time, I saw that the food was muddy and threw away. Now he is starving after tossing, and the cat's saliva is also hanging on his mouth. It seems that this guy is also hungry.
Zhou Xirui patted the cat's head: "It's up to you, man! Go to the mountain and search!" The cat was eager for the owner's order. He sniffed nearby for a while and suddenly ran halfway up the mountain. The two were afraid of being separated from the cat, so they quickly chased after him. The cat ran so fast that they couldn't catch up at all, and they couldn't even see its shadow for a while. Forget it, the two gave up chasing the cat and sat on the ground waiting for it to come back.
More than an hour later, the cat hasn't come back yet. They are a little worried that there may be any monsters in the old forest. Are they in danger? Hurry up and walk in the direction of the cat. At this time, I suddenly heard the excited voice of the cat in front of me. Sure enough, the cat ran back with a yellow sheep. Putting the dead sheep in front of the two, "Wang-Wang" shouted proudly twice and wagged his tail vigorously. Atso squatted down happily and pricked his ear twice to show his recognition of his credit. The cat knew that he was affirmed and ran around them a few times with white eyes and excitement before squatting down to rest.
Acuo immediately hung the yellow sheep on the branch and took out a knife to cut it open. The sheep's body was still soft and warm, and it seemed that the cat bit it to death. He skillfully peeled off the sheep's skin, cut off the back legs of the two sheep and put them on his backpack. Zhou Xirui went to pick up some dead bamboo poles, found the waterproof lighter in his backpack, raised a bonfire, put a bamboo pole shelf next to it, and put his clothes on the edge of the fire to bake.
Cut down a few branches with branches and made a shelf to roast the leg of sheep on the fire. The cat lay next to him and stared at the leg of the sheep, licking his mouth from time to time. When the sheep's leg was roasted with oil stars, A Cuo first threw a sheep's leg to reward the cat. The two sat by the fire and ate the mutton. They felt very fragrant, but unfortunately, there was no salt, and the taste was still inferior. After eating, they picked some good meat on it and roasted it. They wrapped it in a dress and put it in a backpack to bring it to Xiaopei.
They left there for more than two hours, climbed up the mountain, looked around to determine the direction, and walked down through a forest. There is a group of monkeys jumping around. Zhou Xirui is curious about this group of monkeys and stands under the tree to observe them. These monkeys are mainly golden yellow, and their back hair is about a foot long. They are golden and dazzling, gorgeous and soft. I guess they should be golden monkeys. Their tails are thick and long, their faces are blue, their heads are round and their ears are long, their mouths are bulging, and their nostrils are facing the sky. They should be an ancient primates.
After watching for a long time, this group of monkeys jumped around and played with each other, which made Zhou Xirui feel very interesting. He thought how fun it would be if he caught one back. Atso said, "Don't catch it. If you catch it, it will bite people. How can you take it away?"
Zhou Xirui insisted on catching one. When A Cuo saw that he didn't listen, he was too lazy to persuade him and ran under a tree to take a nap. Look at the cat under his feet and stare at the monkey above, but this guy is completely predatory. With this guy, it is impossible for the monkey to come down.
Later, Zhou Xirui thought of a way, found a long branch and hung a piece of roast mutton on the tree trunk close to the monkey. The long branch raised, and the monkeys quickly rushed to other trees. But the monkey was very curious. After a while, a bold half-big monkey rushed over and smelled it. It probably smelled the fragrance. He grabbed it and ate it. After eating, it stared at Zhou Xirui's backpack. Zhou Xirui took out another piece of meat and hung it on the shorter tree branch. At this time, when the other monkeys saw that it was okay to eat, they came down to grab it one after another. This time, he became bolder and bolder, and Zhou Xirui's meat became shorter and shorter.
Finally, Zhou Xirui took the meat in his hand and fed them. At first, the monkeys did not dare, but finally they couldn't stand **. Finally, a monkey hung upside down on the tree trunk, stretched out his paws to grab the meat from his hand and rushed to eat it. After feeding like this again and again, the monkeys gradually trusted him, and Zhou Xirui could even touch their heads. Finally, he chose a little monkey and grabbed its tail to catch it.
With a lot of effort, the monkey also rushed up desperately, and suddenly the monkey's tail was torn off. Seeing the hairy monkey tail that was torn off, Zhou Xirui felt terrible. He liked these monkeys and didn't want to hurt them, but now he has the bloody tail of monkeys in his hand! Looking at the monkey's tail half of the red bone, it turned out that it was not torn off, but ripped off the surface fur, which looked indescribably scary!
The monkeys were very angry with Zhou Xirui's behavior and threw a lot of nuts on it. There were even monkeys peeing on him, which made Zhou Xirui laugh and cry. Regret that the idea of catching monkeys should not have led to the collapse of the harmonious relationship that had just been established! The monkey's quack woke up Acuo. He happened to see Zhou Xirui being teased by the monkey and laughed.
