Chapter 34 Chapter 34: The Third Night: The Swamp Thing

If you look carefully, you will find that the mud at the bottom of the pool is stirred by something. It seems that there is a huge thing moving under the mud, turning up the black air that exists under the mud.The entire bottom of the pool was moving, and there seemed to be an irregular vortex in the mud, wrapping the corpses in and spitting them out. As the silt activity became more intense, more and more black air came up from below. I didn't have any strength to feel afraid at this time, but my teeth were clenched, and the clockwork of my whole body was already wound up to the tightest. Impossible Going a step further, while his mind was spinning rapidly thinking about what to do, he was vigilantly watching the situation below.

These black gases may be toxic gases formed by the rot of a large number of leaves in the rainforest under the swamp. This gas often exists under the silt in the depths of the swamp and rainforest, and it will be released if there is a large natural climate change. Manpower cannot be involved in many tropical rainforests, because the existence of this poisonous gas blocks large passages.And some poisonous gas is caused by the volatilization of special minerals or volcanic gas, or the highly toxic cloud formed by mixing with fog. "That's how it came about. If so, this thing is definitely not a good thing, and I don't know if it will be as blinding as the fog encountered in front of the temple yesterday.

I thought about whether I could go down immediately and rush back to the ruins, but after calculating the distance and time, there was nothing I could do. The black air had already permeated under the tree, and I couldn't go down.And if the fog over the temple doesn't recede, it's likely to cause me to be poisoned and lose my eyesight again. If I encounter a group of snakes, I may be like a fat man, so I'd rather kill myself. I prayed that the black air would only spread under the tree and would not rise to the crown of the tree, but obviously this was impossible. Slowly, I found that the black air rolled and began to fill the entire space as if it were alive.

I cursed in my heart, knowing that if the black gas was poisonous this time, it might be more serious than blindness. In a hurry, I immediately tore off a piece of my clothes, wiped a large piece of black mud on my body, covered my mouth and nose, Made another one for the fat man. Then I remembered that I was on a tree, and immediately found vines to tie myself and hang on the tree, in case I fell from the tree if I became unconscious after being poisoned. As soon as I finished, the black air reached my feet, and when it was covered, it spread at an astonishing speed. The black shadow was like a ghost, and it enveloped the branches we were sitting on almost instantly. I even heard it pass by. The trees all made a slight crackling sound, and then the surrounding areas within sight were suddenly enveloped in black air.

Thin black air filled the surrounding area at once. Watching the black air rising, I felt as if I was trapped in a house on fire, but at the same time, I immediately smelled a strange smell, and my throat started to itch . A itchy throat was obviously not a good sign, so he instinctively held his breath, trying to take as few breaths as possible. A few seconds later, I didn't die immediately, so I breathed a sigh of relief. Obviously, the black gas is not very toxic, so we have a great chance. However, if I inhale too much, it's hard to say what will happen. I was praying that the black air would subside by itself like the fog, and I looked up to see if I could climb higher and go to a place where the black air was thinner. It was shrouded by the black gas, and under the beam of the miner's lamp, I saw that the black gas seemed to be small solid particles, which seemed to be smoke, not gas. I touched it but couldn't touch it.

What is this?I suddenly feel that I have seen this kind of black smoke somewhere, where is it?I felt vaguely uneasy when I thought about it, and an extremely unlucky feeling emerged. I suddenly thought of Poker Ping, and I only greeted his ancestors in my heart. If I had listened to me just now, I would not be so embarrassed now.Why don't I insist on it, if I die here, I don't know who to turn to to complain. It may be that I trusted him too much before, but the decisions he made recently were a little out of order, and I suddenly wanted to slap myself in the face. However, even if I don't come, I don't know if I can come tonight. I didn't bring a gas mask at the time. It was my mistake, but the gas masks equipped by Aning and the others are very big, and the ones that Fatty and Pan use are old military ones. , strong but too heavy for convenience.

No matter how you think about it, it's wrong. Thinking about it, this is also a catastrophe that you can't escape. Continuing to look at the quagmire, I heard a series of churning sounds from the swamp under my feet. It was very heavy and not noisy to my ears. It sounded like something huge was about to come out of it. There must have been some changes in the swamp, otherwise there would be no such movement. I wondered if the snake eggs in the stomach of the corpse hatched, or a big snake came to eat? I could only hear the sound of the water getting louder and louder, as if it was approaching under our tree. I took a miner's lamp to illuminate it, and saw a black spot as big as a calf hidden in the black air, which was constantly moving. , and its shape is even bigger than the one we encountered before.But in the end it is really impossible to judge whether it is a snake or not.

The black air permeated the field of vision, and I couldn't see what was under the black spot. I felt that I could only resign myself to fate at this time, and watched the movement of the black spot calmly. There are swamps under this mist, and the black spot comes from the swamp, so it must not be a land creature, and its shape is not the kind of giant snake I encountered before. I thought to myself, otherwise I couldn’t have missed him with such a big body just now. See, could it be a big fish buried in the mud. However, what fish in the swamp can grow to the size of a calf, is it an alligator?Thinking about it, it's impossible. If it was a crocodile, I would have died just now. In this kind of quagmire, if there is a crocodile the size of a calf, I will definitely drag it in. The crocodile will never let go of anything that invades its territory.

While thinking about it, the black spot suddenly stopped near the spot of my miner's light, and seemed to have noticed this spot of light. I felt a little bad, so I immediately removed the spot of light and turned it into the tree canopy to shine on the fat man. After taking this photo, I found something was wrong. The fat man’s head drooped, and black blood flowed from his eyes. I was horrified. I reached out to touch it, and I broke out in a cold sweat. I'm out of breath. I cursed inwardly, I don’t know if it’s the snake venom, or the poison of the black gas, I can’t control it so much now, I moved the fat man to the right, and pinched him hard, and after a few pinches, it didn’t hurt at all. Yes, I feel sick for a while, and I feel like giving him artificial respiration.

However, the posture of the fat man is very awkward, and there is no branch behind him, so I have to support him with my hands to straighten his head. However, this person is very heavy, and I stepped on the branch and it cracked, and I changed several positions. No, one hand can't support his upper body at all. In the end, I simply stepped on the branch he was sitting on, and lay down on him. However, I was so anxious that I just lay down on him. Suddenly, I heard a "click", followed by a crisp sound, and the branch he was sitting on broke. I suddenly felt that my body was empty, and I didn't realize what was going on. I hugged the fat man and fell under the tree and fell into the pool.
