Chronicles of Primordial Wars Chapter 45: Crocodile
From the small tributary in the hunting area to the wider river, and then find the main river painted on that map, it took Shao Xuan twenty many days, and this twenty has been on the road for many days, Shao Xuan, Without much rest, he did not expect that it would take so long to just find the main river.
No wonder people from Tai River Tribe said that when their ancestors went out looking for a medicinal plant, it was a year away. If it was for some seasonal flowering medicinal plants, the herbs collector would even wait longer because they might You will miss the opportunity and can only wait for the next year.
Shao Xuan doesn't need to wait, he just needs to find a place.
Turn over a tree, Shao Xuan stands on the branch, takes out the animal skin roll and looks at the map drawn by him, guessing where he is now. Without positioning and navigation, you can only judge based on the place you pass and the general environment.
The surrounding trees are not high, the ground is watery and humid, there are many potholes and ponds, and there are many water plants.
This area belongs to the Swamp area. In order to quickly find the main river, Shao Xuan directly passed through this dangerous Swamp land and did not walk from a safer mountain. The although mountain forest area is also in crisis, but it is better than the Swamp area.
Now, the surrounding trees are not dense and sparkling underneath. When Shao Xuan stands on the branch and looks at the map, you must also pay attention to the surroundings.
"It should be good here." Shao Xuan looked at a "not a short distance away," and calculated how long it would take to find Gongjia Mountain. He only knew some vague geographic information and could not find detailed information. If it did not go well, it would take longer.
I was thinking, Shao Xuan's eyelids moved, and I couldn't care to roll up the animal skin in my hand. With both legs struggling hard, they leaped and bounced.
At the moment of the Shao Xuan operation, the calm water surface under the tree broke open, and a huge, narrow, long mouth full of fangs opened upwards. The direction of the bite was where Shao Xuan had just stood.
That's a crocodile. The body is huge and its length exceeds ten meters. As for how long it is, Shao Xuan has no time to guess. Because of the sudden jump, some water plants and leaves floating on the water surface were also lifted high.
The water droplets of micro turbid are scattered towards the surroundings with the rising waves. Shao Xuan can even smell the smell of soil and waterweed of muddy water, and the smell of murderous aura.
The cold eyes without emotion. Face to face with Shao Xuan in the air, the open mouth bite, but Shao Xuan stepped back first, it only bit the branch where Shao Xuan was just standing.
click!
The crisp and decisive cracking sound shows that the thick branch of a man is as easy as a biscuit to this crocodile.
Shao Xuan was standing at least seven meters above the ground, but the crocodile easily passed this height. Even the entire head goes beyond. The bite of the big mouth, due to the upward trend. Still continuing to rise, Shao Xuan can see its nasal cavity that is larger than the average crocodile.
In a miss, the crocodile did not give up, but swayed his head vigorously in the air, and the biting mouth opened again, sweeping towards Shao Xuan. Perform a second bite.
In terms of the hook-like tooth structure at the front of the crocodile's snout, they are better at catching prey. As long as Shao Xuan is bitten on one place, even if it is only the trouser legs or the corner of the garment, it will be tightly hooked and dragged .
However. The response from Shao Xuan was too fast. Even though the crocodile already made a second capture, Shao Xuan still got rid of its grasping range. It's just half a person's distance. However, at this time, the crocodile already started to land and was unable to make a third bite.
The closed mouth makes a gurgling noise, and the jaw epidermis with scale armor is shaking due to the action of occlusion, which seems to vent the host's unwillingness. In the end, the crocodile fell into the water fiercely, smashing a large number of turbid's splashes with water plants.
After falling back into the water, the crocodile did not rise again, and left as the water ripples distant.
Shao Xuan fell to another tree, but did not stop, but continued to jump several times. The seven or eight meters high branch was not safe at all. He had to find a bigger tree and rest like that. Always be safe. The water under the tree was deeper than he imagined, otherwise the crocodiles would not be able to completely hide their bodies.
When Shao Xuan was looking for a taller tree, I encountered a leaping crocodile. While Shao Xuan popped up, I took out the copper sword given to him by Zheng Luo in the air, twisted his waist, and held the arm of the copper sword. Flicking it, the blade was severely chopped on the crocodile's mouth.
Oh!
The tremor transmitted by the sword body shows the hardness of these crocodile skins and scales, but it was still cut by Shao Xuan, and the blade also pried off one of its teeth. If Shao Xuan has more strength, it will probably be able to Try to cut the crocodile's jaw directly.
Traveling on this Swamp ground is like a crocodile tooth gap. It is very thrilling. Because of this, the ancestors of Tai River Tribe marked this piece of Swamp. If Safe River people have to pass here, they must be extra careful.
This Swamp area is very wide. After finding a higher tree, Shao Xuan tries to find land. The river bank is not all Swamp land. But where is the land, Shao Xuan does not know, even the notes and maps left by the ancestors of Safe River did not indicate. Shao Xuan can only find it by itself.
Close the map. Shao Xuan continues to jump over the Swamp ground. He is not good to leave in the direction away from the river, away from the river bank, he can indeed leave this wet Swamp zone faster, but then, Shao Xuan will not know Can you determine the position of the main tributary? After all, the main tributary has made several turns, not flowing in a straight line.
After the Swamp site next to the river has continued to travel for a long time, when the Swamp site gradually narrows, Shao Xuan sees a large forest in front of it, which is a taller and more lush forest land, and can also see mountains.
Swamp ground is coming to an end. Shao Xuan thought.
There are fewer crocodile around. There are always many crocodile activities on the rivers and river banks that passed before. The crocodile can often be seen in the Swamp zone, but the more you go this way, Shao Xuan is rare To one.
Like a ferocious beast in the mountains, a huge crocodile needs to occupy enough area to get food for it to survive. In such a large range, there are not a few crocodiles ... There are no Safe River ancestors here yet. The danger zone of the circle should still be the site of the crocodile. If something goes wrong, there must be a reason. Shao Xuan is more vigilant.
When running towards the woodland, Yu Guang of Shao Xuan glimpsed something floating on the river.
After jumping to a tall tree, Shao Xuan looked at the river.
There is a ball of waterweed on the river, but looking closely at the structure, Shao Xuan notices a sense of disobedience.
The ball of waterweeds floats up and down with the ripples of the river,
Oh!
The group of water grass shook and shook a little, and there were water splashes from it. At the same time, Shao Xuan also felt that the sound of the impact was very strange. Just now, there were more than one sound, and it seemed to have metal The sound of collision.
What the **** is that?
Shao Xuan stared at the ball of waterweed, there seemed to be something inside.
Crocodile? Crocodile trapped inside water plants?
No, take a closer look. The ball of water plants is square, and on both sides of the water plants ... wood?
Because of a few severe vibrations, the edge of the waterweed is a little loose, and the places exposed on both sides can be seen as tree trunk.
That's not water plants! That's a cage! !! It's a trap! !! !!
Shao Xuan is a huge tremor in the heart. If it is a trap, it means that there is human activity around it. Moreover, a trap has been specially made to see the size. It should be to catch prey in the water.
Some fishermen fish by netting, some are good at fishing, and some are caught by water traps. However, the third type is rare. This is the first time Shao Xuan saw a trap for catching crocodiles.
Oh!
The crocodile trapped inside struggled again, making the waterweeds covered there looser and allowing Shao Xuan to see the trap more clearly.
That ’s a metal cage, Flaming Horn, Safe River and other tribal people are reluctant to use metal as a trap. although copper already has begun to spread, but the use of copper has always been very economical. Even if it is a trap, it wo n’t be willing to spend so much to make . How big is the crocodile in the river? The length of such a cage is at least fifteen meters, how much metal must be used?
The farther away you are from the six cities, the less bronze you should use. Shao Xuan also saw people from other tribes when I came here. I recently saw people from a tribe who used horns when hunting. There are very few bronzes.
Suddenly seeing such a big metal cage, Shao Xuan was very surprised.
At the same time, Shao Xuan pondered. Could already be close to Gongjia Mountain? Others use few bronzes, but the craftsmen are different. Besides, the person who can create such a trap for catching crocodiles is definitely not an ordinary tribe.
Shao Xuan left in no hurry, he found a suitable tree, stood on the branch and hid, waiting. Since the trap already catches the prey, I believe that the person who set the trap will also arrive soon. If the crocodile in the trapped cage continues to struggle, the trap will be more damaged.
Sure enough, Shao Xuan heard someone approaching quickly, not too loud, the other party was very good at walking through the jungle, and he was quiet and quiet. The other party should know this area very well and act decisively when acting. Without hesitation pause, quite confident.
The sound of 嗖 嗖 soon came not far from the river bank, Shao Xuan looked over, and then 愣 愣.
I didn't see the front, but at first glance, I thought it was a little crocodile, but if I look at it again, I will see that it is actually a person's body, and the hands of the person are exposed.
It really looks like a crocodile. Even when a Drumming tribe person is Totem, no one looks like this person.
However, if you continue to observe, Shao Xuan finds that this is actually a man in crocodile skin.
When a Drumming tribe person uses Power of Totem Totem, it is a change of features, bones, etc., and this person is just covered with a layer of crocodile skin, and the actual appearance is still similar to ordinary people. (To be continued ...)
