    "Xiao You, please tell me your solution." Shi Lao asked urgently.

    The warthog rolled its little eyes three more times and said, "Since there is a swamp below and cannot touch the water, we can definitely pass through the water!" After saying this, the warthog looked at everyone's reactions.

    "Everyone was speechless. What kind of method is this? Everyone on earth knows that passing through water is the only way, but if we don't have wings, we can't fly, right?"

    Yi Meng seemed to understand what the warthog meant and said, "Old You, do you mean to make a raft and paddle it across the swamp like a boat?"

    "Xiao Yi understands me. This is exactly what we Lao You mean. Look, when I jumped into the swamp just now, I slid on the surface of the water plants for such a long distance. If we make a raft, can't we pass as usual?  It just needs to be bigger, and you see, there are a lot of wood and branches behind us. We can chop some randomly and tie them up with the rope from the dead mouse. Then everything will be alive!" the warthog said in one breath like a machine gun.  After finishing his idea, he stopped and took a deep breath. It seemed that he was quite suffocated.

    There was no better way, so everyone immediately split up and started preparing materials for making rafts.  Professor Chen's rigor was reflected at this time. He quickly sketched a sketch with a branch on the ground, stared at it for a long time, wiped it off with the sole of his foot, and then drew another one. Still not satisfied, he wiped it off and continued drawing.  The third picture When Professor Chen was finally satisfied with his masterpiece and wanted to raise his head to arrange for everyone to prepare materials, he found that the people gathered around him had already dispersed. Except for the injured Qi Lin and Mr. Shi, there was no one else around.  Professor Chen could only laugh at himself at the human figure, sighing secretly at his own dullness.

    In less than half an hour, the materials prepared according to the first sketch were complete, and everyone started to make the raft. Three bowl-sized timbers formed the longitudinal keel, and five slightly thinner timbers were combined to form horizontal connections, and some were laid in the middle.  Using small sticks and then covering the surface with branches and shrubs, a raft has been constructed.  The warthog climbed on it, jumped on it a few times, and made an OK gesture. It seemed to be strong enough.

    Qi Lin, who had an injured thigh, was put on the raft first and settled down. Then Professor Chen and Shi Lao boarded the second batch. Then, the raft was pushed down into a layer of shallow water on the surface of the swamp, and the remaining people stepped on the raft one after another.

    Fanghua and Wasp were on the left and right of the raft, holding two short wooden sticks with one end flattened as oars. They knelt on one knee and paddled the raft in a semi-crouching position. The spinner stood firmly in front of the raft to observe the situation.  The warthog and the dead rat, two generals with very obvious fat and thin contrasts, each holding a long wooden stick in their hands, stood at the tail of the raft and pushed it forward. At the same time, they acted as the rudder and controlled the direction of travel.

    It seems that the raft was successfully built. Although the speed is not comparable to that of a sailboat, it is basically equivalent to Shi Lao's walking speed. This is already very good, and the injured Qi Lin was also able to rest with Shi Lao and Professor Chen.

    In the swamp at this time, the fragrant grass is miserable, and the dense areas seem to be clustered into enchanting and lush meadows. Several small white and yellow flowers are dotted among them. One or two drops of dew sometimes hang on the tender green grass blades, like  Is it the grassland that has just cleared up after the rain? The scenery is peaceful; high in the sky, the sun is shining high, and a few sparse clouds are floating in the blue sky. They change their shapes with the breeze. One moment they are still cattle plowing the fields, and the next moment they become  The farmer who became a hoe took his eyes away for a moment. When he looked up, the farmer became invisible, and the image of a winged dragon appeared in front of him

    Qi Lin raised his head and looked at the blue sky, silently enjoying the rare rest time. His eyes were half open and half closed, and his mind fell into a half-awake and half-sleep state. The wound on his leg seemed to no longer hurt so much.

    At this time, at the far end of Qi Lin's sight, a small black dot flew across the clouds. It looked like an insignificant fly from a high altitude. Then another one flew out from behind the clouds, and then three and four more.  , five and finally there were so many that they formed a group.  And their bodies seemed to be gradually getting bigger. A moment ago they were the size of flies, now they were like gray doves, and after a while, they grew into the bodies of eagles

    Qi Lin was watching them casually, but when he saw that these small black spots were getting bigger and bigger, and seemed to be swooping down from high altitude, he couldn't help but feel a little strange, so he squinted his eyes tightly and looked carefully.  Look at these air travelers.  After a while, Qi Lin finally saw clearly that the direction they were swooping down should be the raft he was riding on, and from the very close appearance, he could see that they were flies, but these flies were as big as golden eagles.  Qi Lin suddenly became alert and shouted: "Look at the sky, a group of big flies are flying towards us!"

    After hearing this, everyone raised their heads and looked at the sky. At this time, the giant flies had entered a distance of fifty meters above their heads. Their strange appearance and body shape were very clear. Speaking of which, besides being a bit ridiculously big, these flies were also  The color is a lush green, and the two large compound eyes are so red that they shine.?A thick needle as long as a fire hook protruded from the bottom of the head, aiming at the direction of the raft. Two transparent wings as big as an unfolded raincoat vibrated and flapped at extremely fast speeds, making a huge buzzing sound like a plane landing.  Came from high in the sky.

    "Oh my god! How big of a maggot would it take to create such a big fly?" The warthog, looking up blankly, couldn't help but imagine the past and present lives of these flies, but even if he studied them thoroughly, it would not help.  Because these giant flies had clearly regarded the nine people on the raft as food.

    Mr. Shi said while watching: "It turns out that these prehistoric flies were really so big. I thought they were just cases of mutation. Now there are so many on top of our heads. It seems that it is not just a coincidence. Everyone, please pay attention, this  The most powerful thing about growing flies is the mouthparts on their heads, which is the needle.¡±

    Everyone stopped moving forward and raised their weapons and wooden sticks and paddles, preparing to beat the invading enemy. Only Taoist Master Xuanjizi was a little disapproving and said softly: "Flies like you are also in the same category as forest monsters. They are facing the enemy in the hands of this poor Taoist."  The Crystal Skull is quite afraid. Why is it so confident? Is it just a common thing, or is the target not us?"

    Although the Taoist priest's words sounded reasonable, at this moment, a huge fly raised its two iron cone-like mouthparts and pierced towards the direction of the raft. The distance was less than thirty meters away, so everyone asked the Taoist priest.  He was not completely convinced by his understatement, but saw that the warthog had already waved the long stick in his hand, fearing that a fly would be the first to attack him.

    The prehistoric flies continued to dive downwards. Wasp and Fanghua had already held a gun in one hand and an oar in the other, waiting for the opportunity to take action. However, Qi Lin always felt that something was wrong, because except for the first one that rushed straight towards the raft, the other prehistoric flies  The flies were in the shape of fairy flowers, and their target range was very scattered, not specifically aimed at the raft.  So Qi Lin said: "Captain, wasps, if these flies are not heading directly over our heads, you can avoid them first and don't take action. I feel that their target is not us."

    Although Fanghua always criticized Qi Lin for his rash advances, she admired his prediction and intuition very much. After hearing Qi Lin's words, although she was still on full alert, she gave up her plan to intercept in advance.

    The height of the first huge prehistoric fly was less than ten meters, and it aimed directly at the empty space between the keels of the raft. Fanghua and the wasp stood on both sides to get out of the direct range of the fly's mouthparts.  Sure enough, the prehistoric fly ignored the humans on the raft and swooped down. Its long mouthparts inserted into the empty space of the raft, and then quickly fluttered its wings and flew up. There was an arm-thick penis inserted into the long mouthparts.  Earthworm-like creature.

    Fanghua looked at the big hole drilled in the raft and found that there was a big earthworm hidden under the raft. So he stabbed down with the rifle and bayonet, and a stream of blood gurgled from the muddy water under the raft.  Gu gushes out, and the rifle in Fanghua's hand is being dragged to one side.

    "There's something under the raft! Everyone, stand up!" Fanghua shouted while lifting the butt of the rifle in his hand. Another earthworm-like creature as thick as a calf was inserted into the front end of the rifle.

    "Earth-blind dragon, everyone, be careful. This creature will spit out an extremely pungent and viscous liquid that is highly corrosive. Don't get it on yourself!" Mr. Shi waited until he recognized the type of this creature and was speaking.  The warning came, but it was already too late.  The warthog looked at the blind dragon picked up on the tip of Fanghua's bayonet. It was so plump and cute, and the deep pit at the front of its body was like an enlarged dimple, so he teased it with the wooden stick in his hand.  But as soon as the wooden stick touched the pit on the head of the blind dragon, a milky white liquid spurted out along the wooden stick. With a squeaking sound, it hit the warthog's head squarely, and then a smell of rotten eggs erupted from the warthog.  The smoke spread out from the pig's head, driving everyone away, leaving only a lone warthog at the end of the raft.

    When the warthog figured out what was going on, he immediately lay down on the raft, put his head into the shallow water on the surface of the swamp, shook his head vigorously, and rubbed it vigorously with both hands. After a while, the warthog took his head out of the water.  Lift.  But then a burst of laughter boomed from the other end of the raft. At this time, there was only a hat ring left on the warthog's head, which was already sparse. The middle part was shiny and barren, and it was cleaner than a dog licking it.

    The warthog leaned over to look at the water, and understood the situation from the reflection. A series of curse words came out of his mouth. It was obvious that he hated the blind dragon to the core, but he did not dare to come for revenge no matter what.

    On the raft, there was laughter after the danger was temporarily lifted, but the surroundings of the raft were already a battlefield where land and air intersected.  The first batch of prehistoric flies benefited from the surprise attack and took a considerable advantage. However, the second round of air strikes did not seem to go as smoothly as before. As soon as the prehistoric flies rushed two meters above the swamp, balls of milky white spherical mucus began to appear.  Shot from the water, the prehistoric flies that had no time to dodge were shot one after another. After flying up into the air with mucus, they tried their best to flick left and right, but it was all useless.?Watching a deep hole being corroded into his body, he finally gave up and fell into the swamp.

    The blind dragon seemed not to be interested in the old and hard body of the prehistoric fly, but there was another animal that regarded it as a delicacy. A two-meter-long lizard emerged from the mud of the swamp.  He took one bite of the struggling prehistoric fly and started feasting on it.  Afterwards, dozens of lizards came one after another from nowhere to join the gluttonous feast.

    The battle between the three animals was going on, but everyone on the raft was surprised and happy. After all, it was better to stay out of the situation than to become prey. So everyone did not intend to disturb the three warring parties, but quietly rowed the raft to continue.  Move forward in order to escape from this biological battlefield as soon as possible.

    The warthog was still tangled in his precious hair, muttering at the dead mouse, and occasionally lying on the edge of the raft, looking at his image in the shallow water of the swamp. It seemed that the warthog cherished the few hairs on his head.  To the extreme.  Qi Lin did not expect the warthog to be so narcissistic, so he moved next to the wart pig and wanted to comfort the wart pig. But before Qi Lin could speak, he discovered that there seemed to be a pale human face in the water used by the wart pig as a mirror.  .

    Qi Lin thought he had seen it wrong. He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then looked at it intently again. He saw a dead gray human face that was unmistakable. Qi Lin did not yell, but gently touched the person next to him.  Warthog, then points in the water toward the person's face.  The warthog looked in the direction indicated by Qi Lin without knowing why. After being stunned for two seconds, a roar erupted from his throat that was so powerful that it could last three days!

    Not only were the other seven people startled, but even the flies flying in the air and the lizards eating on the swamp seemed to be frightened. After a ten-second pause, they resumed their respective actions.

    Qi Lin didn¡¯t pay attention to the warthog¡¯s reaction. Moreover, the howl sounded right next to his ears. He felt like there was a buzzing in his ears. It took him a long time to regain normal hearing.  Afterwards, Qi Lin gave the warthog a hard look, turned around and waved to Mr. Shi.

    Mr. Shi walked tremblingly from the front end of the raft and looked into the water directed by Qi Lin. There was a slightly moved expression on his face. After staring blankly for a while, he said, "Maybe we can pull out the head to take a closer look.  .¡±

    Of course Qi Lin didn't care, but he was suffering from the inability to use one of his legs, so he called the wasp over. After reading the wasp, he directly reached out to touch the water, and then lifted it up.  Who knows, there is not just a human head under the water, but a complete corpse seems to be connected below. Although the clothes on the corpse are somewhat rotten, the original color and style can still be vaguely seen.

    Mr. Shi said: "This clothes should be the style of the Mayans in the Classical Period. And although the body has been soaked in water and turned white, it is undoubtedly a yellow race. Based on this calculation, the body has been buried underground in this swamp.  It has been more than a thousand years, but this This is a bit unreasonable. Because of such a long period of soaking and bacterial erosion, the skin and muscles on the corpse should have rotted away long ago, and even the bones should have softened into a handful of soil.  You know, the environment here is not a hot and dry desert, nor is it the sealed liquid corpse coffin in Sanxingdui."

    At this time, Wasp had pulled out the upper body of the body. It should have felt heavy, but after being looked at by Mr. Shi for a long time, his arms were still not sore or tired. Wasp couldn't help shaking it up and down, weighing the weight, and it felt a bit too light.  , then he said: "Mr. Shi, why is this body so light? Isn't it just an empty shell?"

    Through this period of understanding, Mr. Shi understood that Wasp never talked nonsense and did not doubt Wasp's judgment. He just asked Wasp to lift the body up a little more so that he could see clearly.  Unexpectedly, just as the wasp completely lifted the body's upper body out of the water, a white ball the size of a goose egg popped out from under the body's buttocks. The ball touched the water and immediately burrowed desperately into the mud.

    How could Qi Lin allow it to escape so easily? He saw Qi Lin pull out a dog-legged knife from his waist and poke it under the white ball that had been submerged in the mud. Then he gently lifted the tip of the knife and the white ball flew out. Qi Lin did not  He rashly caught it with his hand, but the flat end of the blade was used, just enough for the white ball to fall on the blade surface.

    When the white ball came into contact with the cold blade, it immediately spread out and squirmed along the blade. Qi Lin looked at it for a few times and finally discovered who this white ball was. It was a huge maggot!

    Qi Lin suppressed the nausea in his heart and swung the blade lightly, throwing the disgusting maggot far into the water.  Mr. Shi didn't react much at this time, but said calmly: "It seems that this maggot should be the larvae of these prehistoric flies in the sky. No wonder it is so big. Maybe this corpse is the hatchery of maggots."

    Upon hearing this, Qi Lin directly cut the quite complete thousand-year-old corpse in two with a knife. The sound of the corpse being cut was like cutting a piece of rice paper, thin and crisp, and the place where the knife was cut was as dry as if it was stored in the pharaoh's house in Egypt.  ?Mummy in the pyramid.  Qi Lin used the tip of the knife to gently pick up the cut area, and saw goose egg-sized maggot balls densely arranged inside, like a large bunch of white grapes.  Several maggot balls rolled out from the cut body, and immediately a blind dragon emerged from the mud. The maggot balls were quickly wrapped in the depression of its head, and then a circle of small, pointed teeth emerged from the skin.  The middle was exposed, and he bit the maggot in one bite, and the greasy white juice immediately overflowed.

    Qi Lin couldn't bear it anymore, threw the dog-leg knife aside, squatted on the edge of the raft and vomited.  But at this moment, the sharp-eyed warthog said: "Look, where the body was picked up just now, there is another one now."

    Hearing this, the Wasp lifted it up again, and sure enough, a female corpse was lifted out. The Wasp simply took the long wooden stick from the warthog's hand, and pulled aside all the floating plants on the swamp surface, and then one after another thousands of ancient corpses  The wasp revealed its original appearance. The wasp did not stop. After changing its position, it continued to clean the water. Sure enough, another dense mass of corpses appeared.  Then another one, and another oneeven the underside of the raft.

    At this time, corpses were found all around the raft. The swamp seemed like a mass grave. The thick mud seemed to be filled with thousands of human corpses. These corpses were arranged neatly, with their heads facing the same  The directions are divided into three layers: upper, middle and lower. There are no wounds on the surface of the corpses, indicating that they did not die in war or massacre, but one thing is common, that is, these corpses died at least a thousand years ago.

    "What on earth is going on? Is this a huge burial ground? And why are the corpses not rotting even though they are soaked in water? Is there something weird in the water? Then there are these big flies, maggots, and ground blinds here.  Dragons and monitor lizards are mutually reinforcing and mutually reinforcing. They seem to be deliberately designed to be like this. Could it be that human corpses are the starting point of this biological chain?" Qi Lin finally stopped vomiting after vomiting until there was no more left in his stomach.  Wiping the corners of his mouth, he asked Mr. Shi.

    Mr. Shi's expression was extremely solemn at this time. After thinking for a while, he said: "Judging from the area and density of corpses in this swamp, it can accommodate hundreds of thousands or even millions of people buried here. If this swamp is  There are ancient corpses under the water in the swamp. Isn¡¯t that equivalent to the total number of all Mayans? You must know that the Mayans had a population of only one or two million during the most prosperous Classical Period. But current archaeological discoveries and the history of the Mayans  There is no information about such a large-scale population extinction in the classics.¡±

    At this time, the three-party war just now has come to an end. More and more lizards have gathered and eaten all the prehistoric flies that fell into the water. They are crawling around unsatisfied, looking for new food sources.  I saw that some lizards had begun to dig holes, and then dug out strips of ground blind dragons from the mud, and then devoured them with great enjoyment.

    Qi Lin became alert. It is said that monitor lizards are a typical animal species that has no taboos. Whether it is animal carcasses that have been rotting for several months, or fresh animals and insects, they will eat them without hesitation. When they are very hungry, they will even eat them.  The young ones of the same kind will never be let go.  So Qi Lin reminded: "Wasp, captain, speed up, those lizards will catch up in a while, but it won't be fun!"

    Hearing this, Wasp and Fanghua immediately rowed harder, while the others remained silent for fear of being targeted by the lizards.  But unfortunately, no matter how careful you are, what is supposed to come will always come!  Who can say that the smell of living people is more attractive!

    No, hundreds of giant lizards are swinging their long tails, chasing the nine-person raft!
