Hoarding money to raise cubs one hundred and eighty-first day [first update]

The ancient trail is a man-made trail that leads to the estuary at one end and connects to the inland at the other end, across several swamp groups in Ghost Forest Swamp.

With the passage of time, both sides of the ancient road have long been covered with vibrant trees, shrubs and weeds. I don't know how long it will take, maybe one day this ancient road will be completely covered by vegetation and disappear silently.

The position where Lu Liran and Ke Ji are standing now is a section of the ancient road that winds around the edge of the marsh, with bushes and vegetation forests on both sides, and there may be a small swamp water area under the bushes, no one can see clearly. .

The swamp zone is such a deceptive and dangerous area. Except for those places that look like swamp waters, there are also hidden stucco swamps covered with vegetation that look like solid land.

This is also one of the reasons why people have always died on the ancient road, and some people disappeared as they walked.

Lu Liran and Ke Ji looked at the fresh footprints on the ancient road. The shoe toe marks were facing the waist-high grass that was cut open, which meant that someone ran out of the ancient road and ran straight into the grass!

It should be the same person, or the same group of people.

Lu Liran also discovered different shoe prints, proving that there were at least three people there.

"Running out from the ancient road, turned around and ran into the weeds that are completely wild and secluded, where it is easy to get lost..." Lu Liran whispered, "Why?"

Ke Ji frowned slightly, looking at the ancient road behind them, suddenly something flickered under the light, which caught Ke Ji's attention.

He strode over, and saw a small camera bag hanging on a branch of a tree beside the ancient road. The light reflected just now was the camera lens in the bag.

Seeing this, Lu Liran came over and took a closer look: "Why is there such a thing here..."

Could it be that they came for sightseeing and taking pictures? He sneered in his heart, shaking off this unreliable thought.

Lu Liran took a closer look, and saw that the outer layer of the black camera bag was soaked in blood. The blood was dried, so he didn't notice it at first glance, but the amount of bleeding was a bit shocking.

"See if there are any photos of the victims in the camera. I'll contact the search and rescue team." Lu Liran said.

Ke Ji responded, and turned on the camera. There was still 40% of the battery, which meant that the camera had not been away from its owner for too long.

Looking through the photos taken in the camera, there is no portrait from the beginning to the end. Most of them are some flowers, plants and trees in the swamp, and occasionally the water surface of the swamp is taken, but it is all muddy, and I can’t see what is underneath. Unknown shooting meaning.

The more you turn back, the more photos on the surface of the water, and some of them were taken underwater, as if they were looking for something purposefully.

The more Lu Liran and Ke Ji looked at it, the more they felt that the intention of the camera owner was a little strange.

"Wait a minute, two pictures ahead." Lu Liran said.

Ke Ji moved forward two photos, both underwater.

Lu Liran stretched out his finger and pointed at the black shadow on the edge of the photo. The area was small and not obvious: "Look at the next one."

The latter one is obviously in the same place, probably taken continuously. The two photos before and after are not different, except that the area of ​​the black shadow on the edge has become much larger, and the distance seems to be closer.

"Compared with reference objects in the water, the volume of the shadow should not be smaller than the giant mouth catfish we met before." Ke Ji said.

Lu Liran nodded, and continued to look back, the three pictures in a row were almost the same, the only thing that changed was the shadow.

"What is that?" Lu Liran was a little puzzled, and always felt that the purpose of the camera owner seemed to be to take pictures of the shadow under the water.

Ke Ji continued to flip back, but the next picture made both of them tremble!

It is completely different from the previous three pictures. The picture in the next picture is almost completely black, except for a sudden yellow ring on the left half, and a slightly shiny bump in the middle. It looks very small in the picture, but it is estimated that it is actually small. Only the size of a fingernail.

Lu Liran's eyelids twitched, those were the eyes of animals!

Ke Ji flipped through another picture, and the fifth picture turned into the same underwater environment again, but the shadows of the previous pictures were gone, and he took two more pictures in succession, and it was the same.

Lu Liran was almost certain that the almost completely black photo was part of the shadow in the water.

The owner of the camera captured what was to be photographed.

Lu Liran's heart beat a little faster, not because of the shot in the photo, but the meaning behind the shot.

He spoke quickly, as if he was trying to clear his mind: "From the first photo, the distance of the shadow should be quite far away, so the owner of the camera should have taken it secretly from such a long distance. Look at the next few The aquatic plants and positions in the lens have hardly changed, indicating that the owner of the camera is shooting continuously underwater."

"The size of this underwater creature is about the same as that of the giant-mouth catfish before. If such a big underwater creature swims over, everyone's instinctive reaction is to dodge, but the camera owner pressed seven or eight pictures in succession. shoot."

Ke Ji nodded slightly, took over Lu Liran's words, and said in a deep voice: "If it wasn't that he was fixed somewhere and couldn't dodge, it was that the speed of that thing was extremely fast, and before he had time to react, he had already swam close Swim away quickly."

"Such a big body with such amazing speed..." Lu Liran took a light breath.

He quickly ran through the large and fast creatures that lived in the swamp waters in his mind, but he couldn't find a match.

【AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[I didn’t understand it at first, but after being explained by the beauty extension, I’m in a bad mood——Give the host 1x sukiyaki hot pot with fat beef in a dry pot]

【I also……】

[Blooded camera bag, footprints of several people running from inside to outside, strange photos in the camera... Brother Lu, do you really want to enter the ancient road! ! ! ——Chili Fried Pork is given to the anchor 1x white truffle]

[I don't think so! It feels cold inside the ancient road...]

Lu Liran contacted the search and rescue team, but because there was no photo of the target, and no one reported the missing case recently, he just filed a record and promised to search near the coordinates.

After finishing the communication, Lu Liran said to the live broadcast room: "We have done what we can, and the rest depends on the luck of the search and rescue team and those people."

Although he said so, he was not very optimistic about the fate of those people.

The search area of ​​the search and rescue team usually takes the missing place as the center and radiates a circular area with a radius of 200 meters. This area is called the golden rescue area. Most of the survivors who are found and still alive are It is within this area, and the farther away it is, the lower the chance of survival.

But a swamp is a special place and cannot be measured in this generally applicable way.

Once those people got into the water wood forest, or groups of large shrubs and trees, whether they were two hundred meters away or less than a hundred meters away, their death probability would be greatly increased.

And judging from the direction of the temporary road found earlier, the group of people was heading towards the other side of the waist-high grassland, where there is a nanmu forest, and the nanmu forest is rooted on solid land, although there will be no swampy waters there , but like a maze.

If it is an experienced bounty logger, entering the Phoebe Forest is not a big problem, but if it is a group of ordinary people who are in a hurry to avoid underwater creatures, then the Phoebe Forest will become completely different.

But these have little to do with Lu Liran, if the search and rescue team with professional quality and professional equipment can't find that group of people, let alone him.

Lu Liran said: "Let's continue on the ancient road."

"It's not only because the ancient road can lead to the civilized world and get rescued." Lu Liran said, "There is also a reason that someone once saw a legendary creature on the ancient road and was convinced that they appeared around the ancient road. "

"This time I entered the Ghost Forest Swamp. My purpose is not only to leave alive, but also to see such a legendary creature with my own eyes."

[Wait, the god is not talking about the ghost crocodile in the swamp, right? ? 】

[Ears pricked up]

[Ghost Forest Swamp has always had legends, saying that there is a swamp creature guarding a road leading to endless wealth. Anyone who approaches that area will be culled by the guard creature. The guard creature is the swamp ghost crocodile]

[Wait, the road leading to endless wealth... is the ancient road? 】

[Sure enough, the legend is the legend, what is the road to endless wealth, isn't it just the Belt and Road, die laughing]

【Then it seems that the statement of the guardian animal does not need to be taken too seriously】

Lu Liran glanced at the live broadcast room and nodded slightly: "Yes, I'm talking about the swamp ghost crocodile, but it's not actually a legendary creature. Their survival signs and habits have been confirmed as early as more than ten years ago— —”

"It mainly lives in groups, with ten to forty individuals as a living population. Experts estimate that the living scale is at least 100,000 or more. However, due to their small size, good concealment, and certain toxicity, very few people have seen them. "

There are a lot of swamp ghost crocodiles in existence, so even if no one has seen them, they are not counted as protected animals.

While talking, the two had already walked into the trail of the ancient road.

The path itself is narrow, and now the swampy vegetation growing wildly on both sides occupies most of the area, and the visible path area is even narrower and pitiful.

As he walked forward, two forked paths appeared in front of him.

Lu Liran stopped, and the live broadcast room was also surprised——

【Hey, why is there a fork in the road? It’s all in a swamp like a maze. The road builders can’t just leave it alone.】

[I thought the ancient road was a road leading to the end... I was so naive]

[Which direction is Brother Lu going? 】

【Anyway, it’s an ancient road, so it’s the same wherever you go. In the end, you have to go to the terminal】

【Right? 】

Lu Liran frowned slightly, but it was not as relaxed as the audience in the live broadcast room thought.

He carefully looked at the two forks, one path was obvious, and the other was a bit messy, both of which were covered by vegetation.

Everyone thought that Lu Liran would take the obvious path, but they didn't expect Lu Liran to turn around and go straight to another path.

"There is no fork in the ancient road, and the other road is the beast path." Lu Liran explained, "It is the path that the beast walks out."

"Humans may not be able to walk the path that beasts can walk. It is very likely that they will reach a dead end." Lu Liran reminded, "Similarly, large carnivorous beasts are more likely to ambush on the beast trail, and the danger is higher. .”

【TAT Most people will give priority to the path that looks more open and clear, who knows it will be more dangerous】

[Sure enough, there are traps everywhere in the wild! ! ! Have you opened your notebooks, quick note - charcoal-grilled bullfrogs are given to the anchor 3x sushi]

[I guess those people must have walked through the path of the beast, so they are so embarrassed! 】

【Not impossible】

Lu Liran and Ke Ji walked forward for nearly half an hour, and the path was still clearly identifiable, but compared to the section of the ancient path that they just entered, the path under their feet is obviously covered by grass.

Nature's self-healing ability is immeasurable

"It is very likely that at the end, the road at the end will disappear." Lu Liran said.

Ke Ji nodded slightly, he glanced at the sky and said: "It's better to set up camp near here. Since we want to find the whereabouts of the swamp ghost crocodile, we will stay here for a longer period of time in these two days."

Lu Liran also had the same thought, and replied, "That's fine."

Since we have to stay for two more days, the camp here needs to be a little stronger, not as crude as the hammock sheds before.

There is still a lot of free time, so Lu Liran and Ke Ji split up.

The two cut down a lot of trees in a short time, and built a flat-roofed hut with a height of about 1.23 meters. At least the two of them would not bump into the roof when they sat in it.

A wooden bed was built inside, and Lu Liran planned to put a layer of moss on the bed as a cushion, and then spread a layer of leaves to separate the moss.

There are green mosses everywhere, they all look the same, and they can be used anywhere.

Ke Ji was about to scrape off a layer of moss from a tree, when Lu Liran saw it, he quickly stopped, shook his head and said, "This is dog skin moss, it's full of tiny parasitic mites that are invisible to the naked eye, once it gets on, it will hurt your whole body. The redness and itching were unbearable."

"You never want to feel this kind of taste." Lu Liran said.

Ke Ji was a little startled when he heard the words: "Have you met before?"

"I once went to the Yexia Rainforest with a team. Someone in the team peeled off such moss to make a bed, and scratched his whole body to pieces the next day. I couldn't help it." Lu Liran said, "Later, that person died because of an infection. And the high fever continued, and it was too late to send him out, so he died in the rainforest."

[I'm going, is it so cruel! ? 】

[Oh my god, that big brother...it's my own skin, he's so ruthless]

【This is so itchy... goosebumps all over SOS】

【Fortunately, brother Lu called an emergency stop】

[Cough, it's still not very reliable for a beauty to survive in the wilderness]

[Laughing, indeed]

Lu Liran coughed lightly, and said to Ke Ji: "This kind of moss is indeed not easy to distinguish, you should go to make a fire, and I will peel the moss."

Ke Ji had no choice but to nod, he was indeed not as clear as Lu Liran in this regard.

【Your Excellency the Commander is really disgusted hahaha】

[Brother Lu is drifting away, he actually despises his idol hahaha]

[Between the unbearable pain and the face of the commander, I chose to abandon the latter (dog head)]

Lu Liran glanced at the live broadcast room, touched the tip of his nose, and did not refute.

He walked in for a certain distance, and came to a relatively open place. The ground was covered with a layer of green moss, which is also the most common type of moss, and it can be used.

Lu Liran cut a piece of moss with a dagger, and rolled up the moss like a carpet. After rolling more than ten bundles like this, he hugged all the moss skins rolled up on the ground and walked back.

"I'll go find something to eat." When Lu Liran returned to the camp, Ke Ji had already started the fire, and the roof had been protected from rain, so he handed over the dozen or so bundles of moss skins to Ke Ji for disposal.

[Outside the male protagonist, inside the female protagonist... 噫——Salt and pepper steak strips will be given to the anchor 1x top-quality wagyu beef]

[Laughing to death, Brother Lu, Universe Strong A does not accept rebuttals]

[Okay, okay, the feature film is here, Brother Lu is looking for something to eat! ——Charcoal-grilled bullfrog gave the host 1000x rice grains]

[! ! ! No reminder upstairs, I almost forgot]

【Brother Lu, who has eaten crocodile meat, which small animal will he attack this time...】

[I think the curved-billed lizard I met before is quite suitable]

[+1 I think Brother Lu has been watching people for a long time, there must be something deep in it]

[Hahahahahaha, have you considered Brother Lu's feelings! 】

There are fish and food in the swamp waters, and there will naturally be food on land, as long as you know where to look for them.

Both sides of the ancient road are both land and swamps, and the boundaries are not clear. Most of the swamps are low and shallow, only reaching the depth of the calf, and the threat is not great. Lu Liran will also go into the water to try his luck.

"Look at the tree over there!" Lu Liran narrowed his eyes slightly, and quickly threw himself on the tree, pressing his palm directly on the tree, grabbing the thing firmly, and the drone camera came closer, "It's a tree frog."

"It's not poisonous, it's edible." He said, and with his other hand, he pulled out his pocket dagger, and directly cut off the small pointed head with one knife, only to see that its limbs were still twitching and kicking.

Lu Liran squeezed the blood and internal organs from the severed neck, and stuffed it into his pocket.

"Yes, it's open." Lu Liran grinned, "It seems that today's luck is pretty good."

[Hiss, look at my id, my head turns cold - the charcoal-grilled bullfrog is given to the anchor 1x top-quality Wagyu]

【Hahahahahaha this is definitely Brother Lu's recipe】

[Fortunately, there are many parasites in frogs, Brother Lu didn't eat them raw, otherwise the scene would have been embarrassing for a while]

[Sister, I advise you to change your name hahahaha]

Lu Liran walked forward not long, but he was very lucky as he said, and caught another beetle with iron pincers not long after.

This thing stopped on a waist-high weed, and before it could run away, Lu Liran caught it with quick eyes and hands.

"The beetle with iron pincers gets its name from its pincers. Have you seen this pair of pincers? Although it is not big, it has the strength to cut a branch as thick as a finger." Lu Liran grabbed Iron clamps on both sides of the beetle's body, so that it cannot attack itself, were raised in front of the camera of the drone.

I saw the iron tongs, which was half the size of a palm, baring its teeth and claws.

"This one belongs to me first, and I will bring it back to him when I find another one." Lu Liran skillfully held down and removed the head with a knife, and said, "Of course, I mean the premise that there is no other edible food. Next. Anyway, there are a lot of bugs here, and there is always something to eat."

【The beauty is going to cry hahahaha】

[Commander: You don't have to! 】

[For a while, I don't know if Huang Xing hates the commander more, or the anchor hates the commander more]

[Hahahahahahaha love to the depths of nature...? 】

"The pliers have to be removed too. You can see that it can still swing the pliers with its head removed. I don't want it to move when it enters my throat." Lu Liran narrowed his eyes, and broke two more large pliers with a knife, and then Grab the body of the longhorn and send it to the mouth.

In the live broadcast room, they inhaled one after another——

[Is it just eaten raw like this? ! I thought the host said "it's mine" to mean go back and bake it before eating! ? 】

[At first glance, the upstairs is a newcomer! But Brother Lu has indeed not eaten such a thing for a long time! ——Pickled Pepper and Chicken Feet are given to the anchor 1x Sukiyaki】

【Visual Feast (bushi)】

Lu Liran put the beetle into his mouth, but after a while, he pulled it out again.

[There are still bugs that Brother Lu put in his mouth and then took out? ! 】

[Is the taste so bad? 】

【I don't seem to be chewing】

[I just said how could the anchor eat bugs, as expected, he couldn’t eat them like that]

Lu Liran squinted his eyes, and let out a soft "hiss": "I didn't expect that there are small pincers on its other thin feet. They are so small that they can hardly be seen, but they are quite attractive. I have to remove several of its feet. .”

As he said, the drone camera pointed at the corner of his mouth, and sure enough, a slender leg of the beetle with iron pincers hooked Lu Liran's lips, and it hurt a little.

Lu Liran tore off the beetle, removed all the thin legs, and put it back in his mouth.

The beetle with the iron tongs was a bit too big to fit in one bite, but Lu Liran grabbed half of it and bit into a piece, and immediately an unknown liquid jumped out of his mouth.

The "creaking" chewing sound is especially clear under the drone footage.

Lu Liran frowned slightly, took a few bites and swallowed, spit out a small piece of hard carapace, and stuffed the remaining half into his mouth.

[I ate it hastily! ? Take it out and put it back in to eat? ! ——Congchong, who died with regret, gave the anchor 1x sushi]

[Before I could react, I bit it off! 】

[The anchor is a ruthless person, I will live in this live broadcast room! ——The fried pipa is given to the anchor 1x Buddha Jumps the Wall]

【Help, it looks very juicy...】

【Stop talking, vomit】

Lu Liran frowned and finished eating, wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, and said, "Although the taste is not very good, it can at least provide some energy and protein."

Lu Liran didn't give up before the intake of dinner was caught. Seeing that it was getting dark, Lu Liran didn't go further, but started to turn back.

"Looks like I have to try my luck in the water," he said to the camera.

After pushing away the waist-high grass and walking a few dozen meters in, the solid soil under my feet began to become moist and soft.

In the next step, Lu Liran suddenly stepped into a swamp submerged up to his calf!

With a splash of water, Lu Liran stabilized his balance, looked around carefully, and said, "Fortunately, this place is not too deep, but if the water level is ten centimeters higher, it is very likely that it will be a hunting ground for crocodiles and lizards to lurk and attack. So I have to be more careful about changes in the water level and the surrounding environment."

Lu Liran said so, but he had no intention of going back and shrinking.

After soaking in the water for nearly half an hour, Lu Liran finally found a target.

Lu Liran saw something in the muddy water.

His muscles tensed slightly, and suddenly he pounced into the water, and the water splashed all over the place!

He quickly pressed down on the guy who was twisting and trying to break free under him. He failed to catch the slippery skin with his palm several times, and finally grabbed the slender tail and pulled it out of the water!

Without further ado, Lu Liran threw the prey in his hand towards the stump beside him before he even saw what it was.

He swung it several times in a row, knocking the struggling prey unconscious before stopping.

[Holy shit, what a violent output—the slobber baby gave the anchor 1x white truffle]

【The violent beauty is me, brother Lu, that's right】

【What did Brother Lu smash...? Feel like an alligator? 】

[The anchor is having trouble with the crocodile, right... The crocodile eats and broadcasts? 】

[The crocodile is much bigger than this, right?]

"It's a juvenile body of a curved-billed lizard, probably only two or three years old." Lu Liran panted heavily, the originally very energetic little guy was hanging limply in his hand at this moment, so he had a chance to take a closer look .

【...You won't be approached by your parents】

[Hiss, don't be scary! 】

"No, even, it feels safe to see it here." Lu Liran picked up the little lizard, climbed up to the shore, and said with a grin, "Adult male lizards will eat their cubs. Since it can appear here, it means that there should be no adult male curved-billed lizards around."

"As for the female curved-billed lizard, it usually only lives with its cubs for about half a year before leaving. So if you catch it, you don't have to worry about being retaliated against."

Such a small lizard about seventy or eighty centimeters long can barely serve as dinner for two people.

Lu Liran dealt with the curved-billed lizard on the spot, so as not to bring other beasts into the camp.

He skinned and gutted it, washed the blood off his hands, and kicked all the bloody residue into the swamp before getting up and leaving.

After such a toss, the sky was getting dark, and Lu Liran accelerated the pace of the return journey.

When he returned to the camp, he saw the flames jumping in the camp, which looked extremely warm and safe, so Lu Liran strode towards the fire.

"Are you back?" Ke Ji was changing his medicine, when he heard footsteps, he looked up and saw Lu Liran's lower body was wet.

"I caught a cub of a curved-billed lizard and a small tree frog, which can be grilled on skewers." Lu Liran said, taking a closer look at Ke Ji's wound.

It's much better, but the wound is pulled repeatedly, and the scabs are easy to stretch out, and the recovery is a bit slow.

Ke Ji put down his clothes.

The beast meat was skewered on sticks, the fat was sizzling, and the aroma immediately aroused hunger.

It took only a while for the two of them to finish their small dinner.

He was leaning on the bonfire to warm his body, but he heard the sound of "Salsa" suddenly in the grass behind him.

Lu Liran's scalp tightened, he suddenly drew the knife in his hand, and turned around to defend himself.

As the sound gradually approached, Ke Ji took a step forward, stopped Lu Liran behind him, and said in a low voice, "Cooperate from the side."

Lu Liran nodded slightly when he heard the words, quietly walked into the night on the side, and quickly merged with the night. If the camera of the drone was not aimed at it, even the audience in the live broadcast room would not be able to find their anchor.

Not long after, a tall and big shadow finally appeared in the noisy grass. At first glance, it looked like a black bear. Lu Liran couldn't help but inhale, and his pupils shrank fiercely.

However, when the shadow got closer, it suddenly jumped forward, fell into the grass pile, and then remained motionless.

Lu Liran and Ke Ji exchanged glances, and they approached cautiously, pushing aside the grass.

Where is the black bear! It is clearly a man!

Seeing this, Ke Ji turned the man over. The man was unconscious, his face was covered with blood, his clothes were torn, and there was a serious injury on his waist and abdomen where bones were visible.

Lu Liran blurted out: "Why is it him!?"

Hearing this, Ke Ji looked up at Lu Liran in surprise: "Do you know him?"

Lu Liran nodded slightly. The comatose man in front of him was especially coincidental. Not only did he know him, but many people in the live broadcast room probably knew him well.

【Wait, the eyebrows and eyes look familiar...】

[Grass, isn't this who? factory! ! 】

【Oh oh oh oh oh! ! Jiang Kun! 】

【Gan, that outdoor anchor who competed with Brother Lu? 】

[He also came here to start a live broadcast, right...and then the car overturned? 】

[Shouldn't be a live broadcast, I think he hasn't updated the live broadcast room for a long time]

【Then why is this person here? 】

The author has something to say: Come~Although it is a bit late! But I'm super thick and long! !
