Chapter 62

Hoo! Hoo!

In front of Lorraine was a grass nest, short and small, with wide grass leaves.

He took the torch and repeatedly started a few fires on it, driving out many messy insects. Then he changed into a long wooden pole, stood far away and poked with his mouth.

The team went deep into the jungle for three hours and traveled less than two kilometers, slower than the butterfly in the fog area.

But there was no opposition in the team.

Caution is a virtue when walking in a strange jungle.

For example, the sailors had originally had an opinion on the coarse cloth smock wrapped all over the body, because the weather on the island was very muggy, and the sea men preferred the exposure of the sun and the gentle touch of the sea wind.

But after a spider face accident, the sound completely disappeared.

It was a beautiful spider, dark brown, decorated with camouflage light markings on its feet and body, complementary and symmetrical, lying on the tree without trace, floating with silk, and looking like withered fallen leaves.

It has a pair of huge fangs.

Some experienced sailors recognized that this is a kind of lace tarantula produced in the tropics. Although it is not very aggressive, it has amazing toxicity and can make people unconscious.

And it happened to lie on a sailor's scarf

After that, complaints and objections disappeared, and Lorraine, who led the team, became more cautious. The torch burned almost every tree and leaf.

But even so, some sailors were bitten by poisonous snakes running down from the trees. Haina's sharp knife cut off almost half a kilo of meat before the red blood flowed out again.

Simply this damn experience is finally over

Beyond the last grass nest, they set foot on a vast and flat volcanic rock field.

The dark slope is the trace left by the lava flow in the past. It is dense, not easy to weathering and contains a large amount of metal components, which makes it not only an excellent natural stone, but also difficult to form vegetation.

The bare rock is synonymous with safety in the eyes of the sailors. Long Lorraine breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand and said, "move forward 500 meters, rest for half an hour, and allow to drink water."

There were soft cheers from the ranks.

They marched forward and rested on the bare rock. The sailors who had been muggy for a long time couldn't wait to untie their coats and expose their sweaty bodies to meet the sea breeze.

Lorraine picked a higher rock and stood side by side with Haina, looking at the coastline of the island from a distance.

"Have you found a more suitable channel?" it's hard to worry in Haina's voice. "Today's road is too long. Even if we really find a water source, we can't guarantee that the sailors can ship safely."

Lorraine shook his head helplessly.

He squatted down, drew white marks on the jagged volcanic rocks with a machete, and said softly, "generally speaking, the windward side of the island is the most gentle and the windward side is the steepest. The windward side of hebrazil island is in the north, we landed in the west, and the butterfly is in the East."

"In that case, why don't we go north when we look for a boat?"

"Because it's close." Lorraine sighed. "And I'm afraid I'll find the wreckage of the butterfly on the South Cliff. If they land on the windward beach, it's safe, even if they meet later."

Haina agreed and nodded.

Lorraine continued to draw a line on the ground: "around the mountain, we will reach the windward side, where the vegetation will be sparse, and it is most likely to accumulate fresh water sources such as small lakes and deep pools. When we find it, we can delimit the shortest route to the beach, open up a safe passage and ship fresh water."

"What if not?"

"If there is no... Then we can only go to the leeward side. The rock strata there are the most complete, and caves are easy to appear, * *, but the storage of fresh water will be much smaller. Only one or two places can be found, which may not be enough for us."

Haina looked down and thought. She remembered that in the process of looking for the ship, they did find several small pools, which could barely fill a few wooden barrels. It was not only difficult to transport, but also the storage side was not enough for the whole ship to consume for a few days.

As Lorraine worried, the water stored on the leeward side can only be used as supplement, which can not fundamentally solve the problem of water shortage for hundreds of people.

"If only it could rain heavily..."

"Yes. If there were a heavy rain, we wouldn't have to worry about the water source."

The team continued to march along the gentle slope composed of volcanic rocks, detoured north, and soon came to the windward side of the island. In a piece of blue sea, silver sand and starry green dwarf trees, we saw two pools, one high and one low!

The tall one is smaller and gourd shaped. Its long side is about five or six meters and its short side is about two or three meters. It is located at the junction of volcanic rock and sparse forest. It is as green as jasper and billows in the wind.

The short one is huge and round, about 60 or 70 meters up to now. It is located along the beach, with forest on one side and sand on the other. It is transparent and beautiful.

The sailors were excited and impatiently thanked their master for rushing down the mountain. Lorraine couldn't stop them for a moment. He could only watch four or five people rush into the forest, and soon screamed and climbed out of the forest.

Behind them... Is a magnificent boar with tusks.

There are six wild boars. One of them runs the fastest and has a strong momentum.

It bowed its head to catch up with the slowest sailor, barked and arched its head.

The sharp fangs pierced out of the sailor's back. When his chest penetrated, the sailor widened his eyes, opened his hands helplessly, and was soon thrown out by the wild boar.

His body fell on the volcanic rock and rolled, leaving dazzling blood spots all the way.

Lolin Qiang pulled out his double knives and lowered his body: "fight!"

Haina rushed out first.

She leaned forward and ran. After a few steps, four red velvet throwing knives came out of her hands. One of them hit the eye of the killing wild boar and went into the eye socket, straight into the handle.

The wild boar fell out with a terrible howl, and the rest of the wild boar crossed it and attacked Haina.

But Hannah was not alone.

She shot the Throwing Knife, and Lorraine's figure chased the throwing knife.

There were more than a dozen brave sailors behind Lorraine. They crossed Haina, avoided their fleeing companions, and met the fierce beasts in groups of three or two.

Two sailors were knocked out on the spot.

Lorraine dodged to avoid the assault, spun his body lightly, protected his body with a long knife into the stretched petals, and gently cut their hind legs between the two wild boars.

Bright red animal blood splashed out and two wild boars fell to the ground.

Haina returned her breath, jumped up to avoid the pig's protrusion, and four throwing knives left her hand. Three of them hit, and one hit her back hip. With the wild boar running, she tore away the huge wound.

This means that the fourth wild boar loses its combat power.

The strong lethality of Lorraine and Haina reduced the pressure of the sailors. They fought wild boars with five or six people, and their fleeing companions turned back, further expanding the number difference between the two sides.

After two people were hit and one was seriously injured, the left battle regiment finally had a stabbing sword pierced the eyes of the wild boar. The stabbing sword made a decision, and the wild boar also went to the West.

On the right, Lorraine ended the battle.

He turned over and killed back to the battlefield, took back his opponent from the sailors, and two sharp Finnish long knives flew up and down, circling around the heavy wild boar.

The boar couldn't hit Lorraine, and the most threatening pig protrusion couldn't start because of the suppression of peripheral sailors. After fourteen knives, Lorraine finally cut it in the middle of his eyebrows and completely lost its vitality.

The sudden encounter was only a few minutes.

One sailor died, three were seriously injured, and four others were hit and flew, resulting in varying degrees of bruises and contusions. What a heavy price to pay.

Seeing the miserable appearance of the team, Lorraine put his knife back in its sheath and stared angrily at the sailors who acted without authorization.

"Go without order, run and howl. Gentlemen, is that what you want to jump on the board?"
