    Everyone on the raft rowed as hard as they could, but they were still far behind the native monitor lizard. Two minutes later, the vanguard of the monitor lizard had arrived behind the raft and pounced on them with their teeth and claws.

    Fanghua and Wasp were already guarding the tail of the raft. When they saw the monitor lizard pounce on them, they stabbed it hard with a bayonet. However, the head and back of the monitor lizard were covered with hard scales, and the wasp's bayonet only penetrated a small amount.  In part, although the monitor lizard retreated temporarily due to pain, it was not fatally injured and could come back after resting for a while.

    Seeing that this was not a long-term solution, Qi Lin stared at the monitor lizard's weak points. Qi Lin saw that the monitor lizard's throat was white and seemed to be shaking in waves. It should be a softer part, so he reminded the wasp:  : "The wasp, sting its throat underneath its body."

    Upon hearing this, the wasp took advantage of another monitor lizard to pounce on it. First, it kicked out and pushed the monitor lizard almost upright. Then, taking advantage of the hole in the monitor lizard's abdomen, it inserted its bayonet deeply into the monitor lizard's throat, and then  Cut down hard.  A two-meter-long monitor lizard was disemboweled, most of its internal organs had been cut open, and blood gurgled out.

    The other monitor lizards smelled the smell of blood and immediately stopped their attack on the raft. Instead, they swarmed towards the disemboweled monitor lizard. First, they dug their slender heads deep into the body, biting out several pieces of intestines, and then slammed backwards.  Pull until it breaks, and then swallow it whole. The internal organs are quickly eaten away, and the body of the monitor lizard becomes the part of the fight. Two monitor lizards actually fight for the same piece of flesh, and they rise up facing each other and support each other with their hands.  Teeth and claws clashed with each other.

    Everyone on the raft was shocked by this extremely cruel scene of cannibalism, until Qi Lin reminded: "Go quickly, this is not the time to watch a show!" Everyone woke up and rowed forward with all their strength.

    A corpse of the same kind is just an appetizer for hundreds of monitor lizards. The monitor lizards who have tasted the blood became even more excited, and the pursuit became even faster, and soon surrounded the raft.  They started coming from different directions.

    Qi Lin endured the severe pain in his thigh, half-crouched on the side of the raft, pulled out the dog-leg knife, and resisted the giant lizard's attack with everyone else. However, among the nine people on the raft, Mr. Shi and Professor Chen were unable to help.  Yi Meng was also in a hurry, and the remaining six people had to resist the successive attacks of hundreds of monitor lizards, which was simply an impossible task.  But even so, the six people still tried their best to resist. Fortunately, the monitor lizard is an animal with a low IQ and is greedy by nature. Once a companion is injured or stabbed to death, it will immediately turn to devour the corpse of the companion.

    Fortunately, everyone was able to support themselves with all their strength, but it was not easy to seriously injure these cold-blooded monsters. Soon, Qi Lin felt that his hands were sore and his legs were numb, and his physical strength was almost exhausted. Qi Lin felt that this was consuming each other, because  There is a huge disparity in numbers, and sooner or later my group will become the giant lizard's meal.  "What should I do?" Qi Lin took advantage of the giant lizard to devour his companions and looked around.

    At this time, Qi Lin saw a Mayan corpse being pulled out of the muddy water where the monitors were fighting and fighting. The paper-thin skin was broken when stepped on, and countless white maggots were exposed. Two lizards dug their noses into the ground.  After leaning over to take a sniff, he stretched out his long, forked tongue and rolled a maggot the size of a goose egg into his mouth. It seemed to taste good, and then he ate it one by one like eating beans.

    "Yes! Damn, why didn't I think of that? You're so stupid!" Qi Lin secretly cursed himself, then inserted a dog-leg knife into the water, fiddled with it for a while, and found a corpse. Then he inserted the blade of the knife under the body and used force  When he poked it out, he saw the corpse jumping out of the water and flying towards a monitor lizard. During the flight, the skin of the corpse was broken, and white and tender maggots were scattered everywhere. Several lizards quickly took their mouths and started eating.

    Seeing that the idea worked, Qi Lin called on others to do the same. He saw corpses being thrown in three directions: left, right, and back. Maggots were spread on the swamp like grains of salt. The monitor lizard that originally attacked the raft,  They all gathered around and started grabbing the white, tender and delicious maggots.

    Qi Lin saw that there was no longer a giant lizard in front of the raft, so he called on everyone to take the opportunity to escape. In this way, the warthog, the dead mouse, and Yi Meng slid the raft with all their might, while Wasp, Fanghua, and Xuanjizi said  Chang and Qi Lin continued to dig out the corpse from the mud, then broke the skin and spread the maggots inside backward.  Although this method is somewhat disrespectful to the corpses of the ancients, there is no other way in the vast swamp, and there is no way to care about so many things.

    But there are too many monitor lizards. After eating piles of maggots, they are still following closely behind the raft. If this continues, everyone on the raft will run out of energy sooner or later, and they will eventually be unable to escape.  doom.

    ?As a philosopher said, who knows which cloud will bring rain.  When Qi Lin was feeling depressed on the raft, a turning point appeared!

    I saw that after the battle with the blind dragon, he floated and disappeared.The prehistoric fly appeared from behind unknown clouds at this time. Seeing countless giant lizards on the ground eating their own larvae, they couldn't help but flew into a rage. They plunged down from the sky again, and were in close combat with the giant lizards in an instant.  .

    Although lizards should be regarded as the natural enemies of flies, they can only be beaten passively on the ground. The prehistoric flies can only hope to sneak attacks without being noticed. Once discovered by the lizards, they will suddenly swoop down and often face the giant lizards.  Big mouth.  For a while, neither of the two animals could do anything to the other, because the scales on the lizard's back were thick and hard, and flies could not penetrate it like the blind dragon, but the monitor lizard could only hold its head high to guard against the attacks of flies.  , the crawling inevitably stopped.

    Faced with the unexpected God-given opportunity, everyone on the raft naturally did not waste the kindness of the fly. Everyone started to row or support together. Even Shi Lao and Professor Chen, who had no tools, squatted on both sides of the raft and slid with their hands.  The water and mud pushed the raft forward faster.

    Suddenly, a small green insect bit Professor Chen's exposed ankle. Professor Chen screamed in pain. After hearing the news, Taoist Master Xuanjizi immediately came to Professor Chen, and with two fingers like pliers, he drilled his body into three  One of the green bugs was pulled out.  Only then did Qi Lin see clearly the face of the heartworm that had penetrated his thigh. It was green all over, the size and shape of an iron nail, the head was as thin as a needle, with a circle of curved teeth like barbs, and the tail was slightly thicker.  , there is a narrow circle of fleshy fins at the end.

    The Taoist priest placed the heartworm on the keel of the raft. Qi Lin raised his dog-leg knife and swatted it horizontally. After a piece of green juice splashed everywhere, Qi Lin felt a little relieved and asked: "Professor Chen, where did this insect come from?"  Where did it catch you?"

    Professor Chen also had no way of knowing, so everyone quickly checked the surface of the raft, and suddenly found a piece of monitor lizard thrown into the intestines of the raft during cannibalism, and several green heartworms were still struggling to get out.  Qi Lin repeated his old trick, and after a few hard slaps, he used the tip of his knife to throw the ball of meat far into the swamp.

    The culprit has been found, and the threat of the borer has been temporarily lifted. Everyone continued to row forward, but Qi Lin became thoughtful while paddling. After a while, he asked: "Mr. Shi, the borer  They seem to be parasitic in the intestines of monitor lizards, but why does Isabella call them heartworms? They are obviously in the wrong place."

    Shi Lao frowned and thought, and after counting all the creatures in the swamp, he said: "I have a bold idea, of course I have not proven it. Look, the several creatures that appear in this swamp are very strange.  , especially the prehistoric flies are obviously not of the same era as human beings, and there is no record of the heartworms in current biology. As for the geocephalus, although there are close relatives of it on the modern earth, they are not the same type. It should be said that the geophysics  The blind dragon has also been extinct for a long time. The monitor lizard actually exists now, but the monitor lizard here seems to have been transplanted specifically for this swamp. As we just saw, the food habits of the monitor lizard are very mixed and they will eat almost anything.  , but it seems that the fly larvae in the ancient corpses under the swamp have never been found. Of course, it is also possible that they cannot be detected, or the surface of the ancient corpses has been specially treated, and the monitor lizard does not dare to tear the ancient corpses rashly."

    Old General Shi counted almost all the creatures he encountered in the swamp. This large circle made him feel dizzy. After pondering for a moment, he continued: "This swamp should undoubtedly be the burial site of the Maya people in the Classical Period.  , but judging from the completeness of the corpses, it is not due to war or alien killings. It is possible that they were concentrated in this place, or they may have volunteered"

    "Shi Lao, wait a minute, how can so many Mayans die voluntarily? Isn't this a bit unreasonable?" Qi Lin heard this and interrupted Shi Lao.

    "Oh, of course, the idea of ??voluntary burial is just my guess at the moment. You can refer to two points in this regard. First, the Mayans are religious fanatics. They believe that their lives and deaths are arranged by gods. Even if they are still alive, they are  They sacrificed their hearts to the gods, and they died without hesitation. In fact, everyone has already felt this on the Aztec altar. Secondly, regarding group religious fanaticism, everyone should have read about it in the news and newspapers before.  There are many places to visit, such as the Islamic pilgrimage in Medina, where hundreds of thousands of people gather in a small place in just a few days. Stampedes are not uncommon, and the same is true for the annual Hindu bathing ceremony in the Indus River, where thousands of people gather at every turn.  Thousands, even hundreds of thousands are not unusual.¡±

    Qi Lin nodded, because these scenes are seen on TV every year.  Then Mr. Shi continued: "In this way, human corpses are the source of the biological chain in this swamp, and their death should be caused by these green heartworms. They burrow into human skin and then follow the blood vessels.  Finally reaching the heart, after biting the human heart, the people died without any trauma; when all the humans were dead, they entered a dormant state. As expected, they should be stored in the digestive tract of the monitor lizard.  AlthoughHeartworms can harm the human heart, but for monitor lizards, which are cold-blooded animals with strong immunity, they do not cause much harm, they just use them as hosts.

    The dead human corpses became a paradise for maggots, and the maggots that devoured human flesh and grew up eventually transformed into prehistoric flies. They hid in the air to protect their young from being eaten by the blind dragons. At the same time, the juicy blind dragons also happened to  Became food for prehistoric flies.

    Although the two creatures are mutually reinforcing and restricting each other, without a stronger natural enemy, one day there will be too many to destroy the ecological balance in the swamp, so the monitor lizard was introduced. As an omnivorous animal, the monitor lizard can not only devour the ground but also destroy the ecological balance of the swamp.  The blind dragon can also control the population of prehistoric flies, so a delicate balance emerges in this swamp.  "

    No one had thought of this level, especially Qi Lin. After hearing what Mr. Shi said, he suddenly felt that this swamp was simply designed by man, but there seemed to be something wrong with it.  Qi Lin racked his brains and slowly sorted out his thoughts. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he asked Mr. Shi: "Old Shi, your idea is very logical, but why don't lizards and blind dragons directly get into human corpses and eat them directly?"  Aren't maggots less laborious and much more nutritious? Another point, you said these ancient corpses are thousands of years old, so why do these maggots still retain their larval form instead of turning into prehistoric flies?  What if you finally die and become extinct?"

    Qi Lin's question seemed to be what Mr. Shi wanted to say next. After sorting out his thoughts, Mr. Shi said: "You must have seen the shape of these thousand-year-old corpses. The bodies have been eaten by maggots, but the skin is still intact.  , there is not even a trace of damage, is this just a coincidence? Perhaps these corpses took some kind of medicine before death, or were treated with special substances after death, so as to ensure that the skin is intact and not rotten, and can be stored inside the skin  Set up an environment in the human cavity so that these maggots will slowly grow and hatch when the food is exhausted, and use the special environment inside the corpse to transform into prehistoric flies in batches, so that this swamp can be preserved for a long time.  orderly existence. Just"

    Everyone raised their ears, waiting for Shi Lao's next words, but after a long while, Shi Lao seemed to have gathered a lot of courage before he said: "But, what is the purpose and significance of designing this swamp in this way? What is the designer's purpose?  Doing this for a special reason? If it is just to kill people, then the corpse remains should be disposed of as quickly as possible and as cleanly as possible; if it is to keep these corpses intact, then there should be a better way to bury them so as not to let them  Soaked in mud. What on earth is this for?¡±

    In fact, the questions in Mr. Shi's mind are the doubts in everyone's mind. Since Mr. Shi can see the design of this series, but cannot figure out the designer's intention, then everyone who has just tried it has no way of knowing.  In this case, it is better to concentrate on getting out of this weird swamp first, at least that's what Qi Lin thinks.

    At this time, the battle between the prehistoric flies and the monitor lizards had already come to a close. After dozens of prehistoric flies sank into the sand and became the meal of the monitor lizards, they no longer dared to pounce down anymore and shook themselves from the corpses.  The maggots that fell out were also scraped away by the giant lizard.  But if it is true what Shi Lao said, although the giant lizard is so greedy that it can even eat its own compatriots, it seems that it does not dare to tear apart the human corpses soaked in the mud, even if it seems simple and almost easily available.  Maybe, there is some special substance in the bodies or on the skin of these corpses, which makes these creatures afraid to the point of stopping.  So the monitor lizard had no choice but to follow the scent of the living person and chase him again.

    It was getting late, and the monitor lizard arrived again. Qi Lin saw the clumsy-looking monitor lizard chasing after him from a distance on the raft, and he couldn't help but become anxious.

    Fortunately, the other shore was not far away within sight. Everyone was a little excited and rowed the raft with all their strength towards a very tall brown-red cliff that extended in an arc.

    The monitor lizard chasing closely behind seemed to understand that its prey was about to escape, so it couldn't help but speed up its running speed. Qi Lin visually measured the distance and speed of the pursuers, and then wanted to follow the same pattern again and dig out several thousand-year-old Mayan corpses.  , and then use the maggots in its abdomen to slow down the monitor lizard.  But just now I heard what Mr. Shi said was so mysterious, and I felt a little uneasy in my heart, but there was no other way. Qi Lin could only recite a few empty words in his heart like "Save the suffering, don't blame me for being disrespectful." After reciting, he suddenly turned his head  The knife was inserted into the mud, and then lifted up with force, and a fresh corpse wearing a camouflage military uniform was thrown out.

    Qi Lin watched the corpse draw a parabola in the air, and then fell heavily. His head was a bit unable to turn. He thought that the ancient Mayan people could also play time travel, and actually traveled through the uniforms of American soldiers.  But after calming down for a moment, he immediately understood what was going on, so he said to Yi Meng beside him: "Xiao Yi, look at the corpse. It seems that Fake and the others passed here. They are very capable!"

    After listening to this, Yi Meng turned her eyes to the raft.In the surrounding water, as expected, there were more than a dozen corpses of American soldiers submerged in the water. It seemed that they had not sunk for a long time. After reading it, Yi Meng was filled with indignation and said: "Fake, this scumbag, look at these soldiers.  They were all his comrades. Not only were they taken away together, but they were not even given a basic burial. They were just thrown into the swamp and became food for lizards and maggots. How could they be considered human beings? There were so many people fighting for him.  Working hard, I really can¡¯t figure it out!¡±

    Yi Meng¡¯s words touched Qi Lin¡¯s heart. Seeing that this beautiful woman who was usually cold and glamorous actually had a sincere and passionate beautiful heart, Qi Lin unconsciously stared at Yi Meng in a daze.  Yi Meng quickly noticed Qi Lin's fiery gaze. After glaring at Qi Lin, she turned to the back of her head.  Qi Lin could only smile bitterly.

    The lizards that followed soon discovered the fresh corpses, and they started fighting over them one after another.  In this way, the raft was given enough time, twenty meters, ten meters, five meters, two meters, and finally docked!

    The warthog threw the wooden stick in his hand high, and then was the first to step onto the hard ground on the other side of the swamp. Then a group of people stepped off the raft one after another and came to the hard ground covered with brown-red soil.

    "The solid feeling under my feet feels so good!" This was Qi Lin's first feeling. Although his thighs still hurt, the joy of walking out of the mire seemed to dilute it all.

    It was just a slight joy. There was no celebration with singing and dancing, and there was no noise of celebrating with crowns, because the cliff in front of him was too steep, almost completely vertical, and the overall brown-red appearance reminded Qi Lin of the character in Journey to the West.  The Flame Mountain is a bit like Ayers Rock in Australia. Climbing up it with bare hands is almost as difficult as climbing to the sky.

    Everyone felt worried together. Seeing that the monitor lizard had reached the edge of the swamp and seemed to have the idea of ??continuing to climb up, Qi Lin said: "Since Fake is not here, it means it should have passed. Since they can climb up, why should we?"  No? I think there must be a place to go up, so we might as well walk to both sides and take a look."

    Everyone agrees, but whether to go to the left or to the right is really a question!  Finally, the warthog suggested rolling dice. Everyone was accustomed to the warthog's sudden cerebral cramps, and they all agreed as a matter of fun.  But let alone the dice, it was hard to find even a stone on this soft, powdery red ground. The warthog lowered his head and searched everywhere. Suddenly, a dark brown round stone appeared in the warthog's sight.

    The warthog happily ran over to pick it up, blew the dust on it with his mouth, and then shouted: "Another wax pill!"
