After walking for a while, there was a pool of water ahead. Under the pool, there was a bright light, so the cave was brighter.
The two of them, with pale faces, chose a clean place to sit down, and carefully checked whether there were any black insects in their luggage with repellent medicine.
Both of them had large red spots on their backs, shoulders and necks. They must have been scratched by poisonous insects, so they each quickly took a packet of medicinal powder.
After resting for a long time, the three souls and seven souls that were scared away finally came back.
At this time, the hissing sounded again, and the snakes poured out of the wormhole and crawled in all directions.
Several of them seemed to smell the snake luring potion on the two of them, and raised their necks excitedly.
The two of them had no choice but to cross the pool.
It was winter at this time, and we were underground. Although the underground pool was not frozen, it was still very cold. Entering the water was like being tortured.
Fan Jun was so powerful that he first threw all his luggage to the other side, and then threw himself into the pool. Wei Jing gritted his teeth and followed into the water.
Unlike Fan Jun, who had not practiced Qigong as well as he did, he felt that his heart and lungs were about to freeze.
Although he couldn't swim, he had experience in the sea before. At this time, he took Fan Jun's shoulder and kicked the water. After a lot of tossing, he finally managed to climb to the other side.
There is no way out on the bank at this end of the pool, but it is much cleaner. Although there were many snakes before, they seemed unable to swim and could not come over.
What surprised them even more was that there were several clumps of smelly grass growing on this bank near the earth wall, which was enough for them to return home with a full load.
Wei Jing and Fan Jun put on dry clothes and immediately checked their surroundings carefully.
Apart from stinkweed and a few steep rocky platforms, there were no insects, no snakes, and no weird caves on this shore.
The two of them packed up all their luggage, food, and medicine, and calmed down to think about how to get out of trouble.
The two of them were very tired, so they took turns keeping watch to let the other person sleep and rest.
After an unknown amount of time, Wei Jing had rested enough. He felt itchy and uncomfortable on the back of his neck. Thinking that the insect poison was still there, he took another packet of medicinal powder and murmured to himself: "It must have been a day..." and felt I had a headache and fever, thinking that maybe I had caught windchill due to being frozen while swimming. I had no choice but to take a few more refreshing pills.
He remembered that there was a bag of crushed charcoal in his luggage, which was originally intended to test the efficiency of the stink grass in absorbing charcoal smoke. It was also good for heating at this time.
Just as he was about to take action, he saw a strange thing sticking its head out from the edge of the pool. He became curious and went to take a look.
"What a strange fish?" Wei Jing couldn't help but feel a little scared when he saw that the strange fish was very long, with long legs, a long and narrow mouth, and protruding eyes.
When Fan Jun heard what Wei Jing was saying, he was already awake. When he saw the thing in the pool, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Stay back, that's a crocodile!"
Wei Jing was startled and quickly backed away. The gray crocodile suddenly jumped up and ran up the bank. It was seven feet long and opened its mouth wide to bite Wei Jing.
Wei Jing hurriedly ran back. He had never seen a crocodile before, so he thought it was a strange fish. He never expected that there would be fish that could wash up on the shore and bite people.
Fan Jun picked up the kidnapper and ran towards him. The gray crocodile opened its mouth wide and jumped up, biting Fan Jun's thigh. He swung the kidnapper on his nose and threw him to the ground.
As soon as the gray crocodile pounced, its tail was already raised and swept against Fan Jun's calf.
This strike was so heavy that Fan Jun couldn't dodge and was swept to the ground.
"More powerful than Zhang Sanlong and Yu Ershan's feet!" Fan Jun turned over and bounced up with a smile. If he hadn't taken advantage of the force and fell over at the moment he was hit, the calf bone might have been broken at this time.
Wei Jing came to help with a long and short sword. He slashed the gray crocodile's back with his sword, but it seemed like it was slashed on the armor, and it could only penetrate a few points, which surprised him.
The gray crocodile's long mouth was like a pair of pliers. It suddenly opened, tilted its head and body, and grabbed Wei Jing's belly from the waist.
Fan Jun quickly picked up Wei Jing and swung him by the collar, throwing him away and scolding: "You are no match for this guy, get out of the way!"
Wei Jing was disgraced from the fall and was very dissatisfied. He struggled to get up, holding the long sword and waiting for the opportunity.
Fan Jun and Gray Crocodile were seen fighting fiercely.
The gray crocodile charged fiercely and almost bit Fan Jun's legs several times.
Fan Jun dodged repeatedly and found that although the gray crocodile was powerful, his movements were rigid and very stupid. He then found a flaw and used his left hand to grab the kidnapper and swipe it out as a bait.
The gray crocodile pounced and bit away, but the bite was empty. Fan Jun's right fist had already struck, and he hit the gray crocodile hard on the lower jaw with his hook, knocking it over halfway and exposing its belly.
Wei Jing finally seized the opportunity and stabbed the gray crocodile in the belly with his sword.
The gray crocodile was about to struggle, but Fan Jun stepped on its head, roared loudly, and stamped on it so hard that the gray crocodile's brains burst out, and he finally died.
"There's something delicious!" Fan Jun laughed.
"Can this guy eat it?"
"Okay, and it's delicious!"
The two of them skinned and cleaned the seven-foot gray crocodile and started a fire to grill the gray crocodile.
Wei Jing took a half-burnt crocodile leg and took a bite. It tasted like chicken. Although it was not seasoned, it was much better than dry food saltine crackers.
While the two of them were devouring the crocodile meat, they were studying where the gray crocodile jumped out from. They could only guess that there might be another hole under the pool leading to somewhere else.
"So full." Wei Jing ate the two front legs, and Fan Jun ate the two hind legs and a small part of the body meat, and then couldn't eat anymore.
The two cut the cleaned crocodile meat into several pieces, placed them in a corner, buried the perishable internal organs and head, and planted a stinkweed on top.
Wei Jing had nothing to do, playing with the thick skin of the gray crocodile and imagining how to make this piece of crocodile skin into armor.
Fan Jun rubbed the wound on his calf and saw that the place bitten by the poisonous snake was still swollen and sore, so he drank another bottle of potion.
At this time, there were still some snakes scurrying around on the other side of the pool, but there was no longer any stimulation from the snake-inducing scent, so they stopped moving. Presumably they were still feasting on bugs.
"If the snake eats all the bugs, we will save ourselves one layer of trouble." Wei Jing said, but he couldn't think of a good way to pass the snake's nest. Although he no longer carries the aura of attracting snakes, he has finished drinking the potion to prevent snake bites. If he is bitten again, it will be very dangerous.
Wei Jing had no clue. He sighed and stood up. He walked to Gray Crocodile's grave and bowed a few times. He said, "Weird fish, weird fish. Don't blame me and Fan Jun for eating you. If you want to blame me, blame you for biting people indiscriminately." . Alas, if you have children, those little strange fish are also pitiful..."
"Who said it is a parent? It is also a child." Fan Jun said suddenly without saying a word.
"How could such a big weird guy be a child?" Wei Jing was dissatisfied and retorted, then turned around and was speechless.
I saw a large black shadow swimming in the distance of the pool. It was much larger than the previous gray crocodile, and it was at least twenty feet tall with its tail.
"Wow - isn't this awesome!" Wei Jing screamed strangely. Fan Jun carried his luggage, climbed up a high rock, and pulled Wei Jing up. The two of them followed the high rock and continued to climb higher. , condescending.
I saw the giant crocodile coming ashore, approaching the pile of gray crocodile meat in the corner, and with a slanted mouth, he actually ate the whole pile of meat.
"How scary!" Wei Jing was horrified when he saw the giant crocodile eating its own kind.
I also saw a smaller gray crocodile climbing up on the other side of the pool. As soon as it landed, the snakes around it immediately scurried around, but the gray crocodile still ate many of the snakes that could not escape.
"So the snake is afraid of this monster..." Wei Jing pondered for a long time and saw the gray crocodile and the giant crocodile swimming in the pool for a while and had a fight. The gray crocodile was defeated by the giant crocodile and got into a corner of the pool. The giant crocodile also chased after them. Then there was no movement, and the water there could indeed lead to somewhere else.
Looking down from a high place, you can still see some snakes, gathering in groups in every corner.
Wei Jing's heart moved, he ran back down, opened the grave of the gray crocodile, grabbed out the internal organs, mixed the sand and soil, kneaded several balls of earth, returned to the high place, and threw them at the pile of snakes.
The snakes were hit by the earth balls stained with crocodile blood, and fled in panic. The effect was the same as the snake repellent potion.
"The crocodile defeats the snake, and the snake defeats the strange insects! Most of the strange insects in the cave should be eaten by the snakes. We only need to use the crocodile's body to scare away the snakes and return to the original place. Are we still afraid that we will not be able to get out?" Wei Jing shot Palm yelled.
"Yeah, compared with these weird guys, the wooden board at the entrance is nothing!" Fan Jun also cheered. The two of them worked hard before the giant crocodile came back. One picked stinky weeds, and the other Dig up the remains of the gray crocodile and put them into small cloth bags.
Fan Jun used the same method to throw all the luggage back to the original shore, swam across, took one end of the rope thrown by Wei Jing from a high place, tied it to his arm and held it tightly.
