Chapter 38 The Swamp

Wang Lang didn't expect to walk out of the forest so soon. It's only been a month since they evacuated, so it seems that their original residence should be at the edge of the forest.

Although people were very excited, there was still a long way to go to get there. With hope, people's fighting spirit was rekindled.

This side of the hillside is relatively gentle, and people rushed down the hill briskly with excitement.

It was not until dusk that a small hill was climbed, and as night fell they had to spend the night behind a boulder jutting out.

After dinner, people dragged their tired bodies and fell asleep early. Tomorrow they will set foot on the land of their dreams. The future life seems so beautiful. Many people did various things this night. dream.

In the early morning of the next day, the thirsty people greedily sucked the dew on the leaves of the plants. The sweet morning dew swept away the fatigue of the body. After simply eating some jerky, people got ready to go.

"Let's go!" Wang Lang shouted excitedly.

People screamed in excitement, a better life is ahead, and people walked briskly over the hills one by one.

With the gradual reduction of trees, people finally set foot on the longing land.

However, what you see in front of you is not the Garden of Eden, but a vast swamp.

The good wishes were shattered by the ruthless facts, and the long journey along the way ended up with such a result, and people felt a strong sense of frustration in their hearts.

The swamp in front of him was extremely muddy, the lush aquatic plants grew taller than a person, the muddy water flowed slowly, and the criss-crossing rivers spread all over this vast plain. Although Wang Lang had never seen a swamp before, the swamp was terrifying. Whether it is film and television works or novels, it is described as a place of death.

In this terrifying place, there are quagmire that can bury people, and there are countless terrifying beasts hidden under the water. In this barbaric era, Wang Lang could not imagine that there would be anything lurking under these dense aquatic plants.

But Wang Lang was still unwilling to give up like this, and had already walked out of the woods, so it proved that as long as he passed through this swamp, he might reach the grassland.

Seeing the defeatism spreading in the tribe, Wang Lang stood up and said, "Cheer up, everyone. We have gone through so many difficulties to get here. Are you willing to just give up like this?"

People sat on the ground dejectedly, did not answer Wang Lang's words, what could they do if they were not reconciled, how could such a place be passable.

Looking at the people who had almost given up hope, Wang Lang sighed helplessly, and said, "It's not impossible to pass such a place. You can see that there are many large and small highlands in this water area. As long as we are careful, even if we walk Slow down, we can always pass through this wetland, as long as we pass through this wetland, we can realize our ideals, please believe me."

People looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. Such a place is very dangerous at first glance. Countless experiences tell them that underwater is far more terrifying than land.

"Lang, it's not that we don't believe you, but if you look at this place, do you think we can walk through it safely?" Jian Ya said dejectedly.

Wang Lang was silent, he knew what Jian Ya said was right, and he needed to take great risks to pass through this place, but he was really unwilling to give up like this, and Wang Lang fell into a dilemma.

The atmosphere seemed a little depressed for a while, and everyone sat on the ground and stared blankly at this desperate swamp.

After a long time, Wang Lang gritted his teeth and said, "I still plan to go there, so how about it! Those who are willing to go with me go with me, and those who don't want to go by, I won't force it!"

People didn't expect Wang Lang to be so determined. What is he going to do?Do you want to break up this tribe?People suddenly became excited.

"Lang, what do you mean, you will only break up the tribe!" Jianya said excitedly.

Wang Lang glanced deeply at everyone's face, and said in a deep voice: "I don't want to do this either, but if we don't, we can only go back to the jungle and live a life as hard as before. You may not understand To the kind of life I described, but I saw it in my dream, I really hope that everyone in our tribe can have a full stomach every day, do not have to be afraid of the threat of rainstorms, floods and beasts, and everyone can do what they like, Don't worry about whether you can have a full meal every day, do you really want to go back to the jungle and fight the beasts?"

In desperation, Wang Lang had no choice but to put on the posture of a magic stick again, and in the future, the unneeded gods would come out to endorse him, and speak to them with reason and emotion.

People fell into silence once, and the dark cloud poked the soil on the ground with a wooden stick with its head down. It was extremely agitated. On the one hand, there was a danger of killing oneself, and on the other hand, there was no stability in the creation of words that one loved. In such an environment, he didn't have the energy to study those things at all. After struggling with pain in his heart, Wu Yun finally made a choice.

"Lang, I'll go with you, I believe you can lead everyone out of here." Wu Yun said firmly.

Wang Lang nodded to Wu Yun, looked at the others and said, "Is there any more?"

With the leader, the others didn't want to prove that they were weaker than Wu Yun, so Jian Ya and Huo said almost at the same time: "Count me in!"

The rest of the people watched the best warriors in the tribe come out to support Wang Lang. If they stayed, they would not be able to survive in this world. Whether they wanted it or not, the reality could only make them follow Wang Lang and the others. go down.

Wang Lang knew that it was selfish of him to do so, but if he didn't take a risk, he could only stay in the jungle as a savage for the rest of his life. Even if this savage could develop some humble civilization, the fishing and hunting civilization was not much better than the savage.

Putting in some hard work now, just to live a happy life in the future, Wang Lang believes that he must not be soft-hearted now.

Although people agree to take a risk, walking over without preparing anything like this is definitely tantamount to courting death.

Wang Lang led the people to cut a few branches more than two meters long from nearby trees. These branches can be used to explore solid ground or places with shallow muddy water.

As mentioned in the documentary that Wang Lang watched before, there are often ponds formed by clustered plants in the swamp. These floating layers composed of broken leaves, lake grass, and soil have different thickness, strength, and support. Walking on them Accidents are easy to happen, and if someone accidentally gets stuck in the mud, a stick is far more effective than a soft rope.

Be careful not only of the dangers posed by the terrain, but also of the predators lurking in the swamp.
