Chapter 320 Giant Leech
It's getting dark, and we're not in a hurry. Since the Black Swamp is so dangerous, let's wait until tomorrow.

So we found a place to stay nearby, rested overnight, and continued our journey early the next morning.

When it was almost noon, we came to the Black Marsh.

Good guy!
We all gasped at the sight of Black Marsh.

Damn!

Where is this swamp?
It's like a lifeless black sea!

Surrounded by high mountains, the low-lying terrain in the middle is the Black Swamp. As far as the eye can see, it is boundless, like a black ocean.

There was no life in the swamp.

Unlike the azure blue sea, it is full of vitality all the time, giving people a sense of life and hope.

This black swamp gives people a strong feeling of depression and death, as well as deep despair.

There are also many towering trees growing in the swamp. Those big trees are like lush umbrellas, covering the whole swamp tightly. The sunlight is difficult to penetrate, but occasionally the sunlight passes through the gaps in the branches, like sharp arrows. Inserted upside down into the swamp, leaving a little spot of light, adding a mysterious atmosphere to the whole swamp.

Although it was broad daylight, the black swamp was unusually quiet, not even a single bird in the air.

The dark swamp was like a lake of stagnant water, calm without any waves.

The rich aura emanating from the swamp could not evaporate, forming streams of black evil aura in the dense forest.

As Xiao Guoguo said, this place has become a cemetery for animals.

Animal corpses can be seen everywhere near the swamp, and these corpses have basically rotted into bones, so what we see is actually a pair of white animal skeletons, scattered all over the edge of the swamp.These white skeletons vary in size, as small as the skeletons of squirrels, and as large as the skeletons of beasts such as leopard boars. In short, one skeleton is pressed against the other, densely packed. So far, how many lives have been buried?

We stood on the edge of the swamp and sighed for a while. If we want to cross this black swamp, we have to make a bamboo raft to cross it.

Having said that, I have to say that the black swamp in front of us is a kind of swamp with a lot of water. That is to say, as long as we don't fall into the water, we won't be swallowed by the swamp. We can use bamboo rafts to float over.If it is the kind of mud with a lot of silt, it can't even float the wood, just like a black hole, everything can be swallowed and sucked in.

In order to reduce the load as much as possible, each of us built a bamboo raft for ourselves.Only one person stands on a bamboo raft, and they are all small bamboo rafts, which minimizes the load-bearing capacity.If so many of us are crowded on a bamboo raft, it is very likely that we will sink due to too much pressure. After all, the buoyancy in the swamp is not as strong as that in the water.

After making the bamboo rafts, we pushed the bamboo rafts into the black swamp one after another, and then jumped on them. Each of us held a long penny for punting in our hands, and we pushed hard on the tree trunks on the bank. Surprised by the stagnant water, we drove slowly into the dense forest.

Counting Xiao Guoguo, there are seven of us in total, and seven bamboo rafts moved forward cautiously in the black swamp.

The bamboo raft cuts through the waves, making the sound of rushing water, which is very clear in this silent place.

The moisture in the swamp is very heavy, and the heat is unbearable. The heat accumulates in the dense forest, but it cannot be released. There is a damp smell in the air, but this smell is not good, because there is also a rancid smell in it. smell, so we dare not open our mouths to breathe.

Spots of sunlight swayed gently on the surface of the swamp water, and occasionally water spiders or mosquitoes with mottled feet could be seen floating on the water surface, displaying the light skill of floating on water, and running across the water surface.From time to time, big red-eyed dragonflies fly over, tap their tails on the water surface, and fly away quickly after laying eggs.Some trees fell in the swamp, blocking the way. Due to the long-term erosion of damp water vapor, the trunks were covered with black and green moss, and gray-white mushrooms grew on some trunks.

We are not traveling fast in the swamp. According to Xiao Guoguo's speculation, at our speed, it is estimated that we will not be able to cross this black swamp in the evening.

Seeing the sky outside through the gaps in the branches, I wonder why I am not a bird, so that I can fly to Gu Meidi immediately.

Just when I raised my head to fantasize, the bamboo raft under me suddenly shook slightly.

I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but who knew that once the bamboo raft started to shake, it couldn't stop, and it became more and more violent, and the shaking became bigger and bigger, almost throwing me into the swamp.

I was startled, feeling a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly lowered my head to look.

Looking at it, I saw a strange black shadow lurking under the water.

The black shadow merged with the swamp, if it wasn't for a spot of light falling on the water, it would have been hard to spot.

I poked the black shadow with a penny, and it was soft. Unexpectedly, the black shadow rolled up like a snake, wrapped around my penny, and quickly climbed up along the penny.

I took a closer look, grass!There was actually a huge leech hanging on the penny.

In fact, leeches are what we usually call leeches. Everyone knows that leeches look like earthworms. They are soft, disgusting, like to suck blood, and like to live in muddy ponds or farmland ditches. Anyway, where are they dirty? Just where it grows.

People in the countryside are even more familiar with leeches. When they return from farm work in the fields, they often get bitten on their legs by leeches.The leech has sharp barbs in its mouth and suction cups on its body, which can be tightly attached to its legs and cannot be pulled off.So usually people will slap their calves vigorously to shake the leeches down.If it doesn't work, use smoke, and the leech will fall naturally.The most troublesome thing is that the leeches get into the blood vessels, so it's no joke.

However, the leeches we usually see are not as big as a little finger, and the leeches that grow in the black swamp seem to have mutated. They are tens or even hundreds of times the size of ordinary leeches. Thick and long, like a big black sausage.

The penny in my hand is about five meters long. Measured by this length, the leech is at least 1.5 meters to two meters long. It is very scary, and it moves quickly.

The leech came so fast, I swung the penny vigorously, but the leech was able to cling tightly to the penny, and I couldn't get rid of it no matter how I shook it.With just that delay, the leech was near the back of my hand.

I rely on!

I was startled, and had no choice but to throw away the penny, and the leech fell into the water again.

The leech in the black swamp probably has a very ferocious temperament because of its frequent bloodthirsty. The leech leaped in the water, and even stuck to the edge of the bamboo raft, wriggling and trying to climb up.

Dog day!
I had no choice but to draw out the Heavenly Evil Gun, and the two guns merged into a long gun. The longer the distance, the higher the safety factor.

I cursed secretly, and pierced the leech with one shot. The tip of the gun was inserted from the leech's head and penetrated through the tail.

I picked up this leech, oh, good guy, it weighs more than ten to twenty catties at least!

Dark red blood flowed out from the leech's body, mixed with foul-smelling mucus.

I swung my arm, and flew the leech five meters away, and slapped it on a tree trunk. All the internal organs burst out, splashing blood all over the trunk, and then slid into the swamp with a groaning sound against the trunk.

As soon as the leech's body fell into the swamp, the surrounding water suddenly boiled, bubbling and bubbling.

We were surprised to see several black shadows coming from all directions.Those black shadows were scrambling to swim underwater. It was those giant leeches, at least there were more than a dozen of them.As soon as they smelled the smell of blood, these leeches went crazy, and even got into the corpse of their companions, sucking the flesh and blood.Soon, the leech's body was eaten up by other leeches, and there was not even a trace of blood left on the water surface, it was all sucked up by those leeches.

Seeing this disgusting scene, I almost spit out the dry food I ate in the morning.

Everyone propped up the bamboo rafts one after another, preparing to avoid those leeches.

I also searched around for nearby tree trunks, ready to break off a branch to punt the boat.

However, those leeches seemed to be stimulated by the smell of blood, and this amount of flesh and blood was not enough for them to enjoy, so they swam towards us in batches.

I took a closer look, and at least seven or eight leeches swam over and surrounded me.

These seven or eight leeches were tightly attached to the edge of the bamboo raft and shook vigorously. The strength of the giant leech is still very large. The seven or eight leeches together still weigh close to a hundred catties. It shouldn't be a big problem to shake the bamboo raft under my feet.

Now that I have lost my penny, I will not be able to move the bamboo raft away for a while.

Oh shit!

Do mere leeches dare to block my way?
Angry from my heart, I raised the Heavenly Evil Spear, one shot at a time, one shot at a time, the tip of the gun sank into the leech with a puff, and then quickly pulled out, spinning and sinking into the second leech.After a while, seven or eight leeches slowly slipped into the water, and the overflowing blood stained the water surface near the bamboo raft.

The smell of blood will definitely attract a large number of leeches to surround them. I quickly swung the Tianxie spear, cut off a branch, and hurriedly fled with the bamboo raft.

Less than ten meters away, I heard the sound of rushing water behind me. Dozens of leeches swarmed like crazy, writhing violently in the water, vying to eat the corpses of their companions. Call a disgusting.I saw with my own eyes that a leech went straight into the head of another leech corpse, and went all the way in...

I turned my head quickly, and I was going to throw up if I took another look.

After crossing the black swamp, it was sunset and dusk again.

Xiao Guoguo pointed to the mountainside not far away, and shouted excitedly: "Look! That's the hell tree! We've arrived!"
