Farmer's Wife Has Space

Chapter 956 The Traps in the Swamp

Gu Zheng and Yue Lingzhi carefully observed the scene, walked to the edge of the swamp, and found some large barefoot prints.

The directions of these big footprints seem to come from the swamp, and then leave from the swamp.

There is water on the surface of the swamp, and the big footprints disappeared when they reached the water.

Yue Lingzhi looked at the shape of the bare footprints and the distribution range, and initially estimated that there should be fifteen or six people.

However, she immediately discovered a strange problem.

Next to these large footprints, there are some normal men's footprints wearing shoes, about three or four people.

Strange, she had already asked those who searched clearly, they saw the big footprints on the edge of the swamp from a distance, so they came back in fright.

In other words, they did not reach the edge of the swamp, and the footprints left by normal men were not theirs.

Who would that be, stay?
Could it be that Long Yan and the others arrived at this place and were suddenly caught by the cannibal tribe rushing out of the swamp, and then caught them to the other side of the swamp?

But no matter how you look at this large swamp, you can't see anyone passing by.

Moreover, her intuition told her that the mud in this swamp was so rotten and there was water on the surface, it must be difficult to pass.

Before they came over just now, a startled porcupine broke into the swamp, and it sank into the mud all at once.

Yue Lingzhi threw a big stone into the swamp, judging from the vortex formed by the sinking of the big stone, the swamp was very deep.

She broke another long stick to test the depth of the swamp, but the result was unfathomable.

She tried another place, but the result was still the same as the first time.

"It's so deep, how did it get past?"

Unwillingly, she wanted to try again.

Gu Zheng stopped her: "You don't need to try any more, this swamp is simply impossible to get through."

"Do you smell the rancid smell in the swamp?"

"It's the stench of animal corpses, or human corpses, buried and decomposed."

Yue Lingzhi nodded: "I've smelled it a long time ago, and I also know that there must be a lot of dead animals buried under the mud."

Gu Zheng said: "Even small, quick-moving animals can't get through it, and if it's a tall savage like a man-eating tribe, it's even more difficult to get through."

Yue Lingzhi was even more surprised: "Then how did these big footprints appear here? How did they disappear in the swamp?"

Gu Zheng looked at her: "Think again and see if you think the same as me."

Yue Lingzhi suddenly realized.

"You guess these big footprints are artificially printed here?"

"Those people made big feet out of wood in advance, and then carried two pairs of big feet on their backs. When they arrived here, they printed the big feet on the ground to make it look like there are savages here?"

"The purpose is to intimidate the people who come to search. There are cannibal tribes in the swamp. Don't go there?"

Gu Zheng nodded: "I think so too."

"However, they do this for another purpose that you haven't thought of."

"Their first purpose is to tell everyone who has been here that there are cannibal tribes in the swamp, they can't go there, and they have to leave as soon as possible."

"Another purpose is to lure people who are interested in the cannibal tribe into the swamp, and then be swallowed by the swamp."

Yue Lingzhi gasped.

"You're right, it seems that the pit they dug is designed to lure the two of us!"
