Chapter 22 Terrible Aquatic Creatures
After dawn, Colonel Todd regrouped the team, and the rainstorm had stopped, but the nearby river channel swelled, and the original low-lying places were flooded.
And the only way must pass through those low-lying areas flooded.
Here are Amazons, piranhas, crocodiles, electric eels... Colonel Todd thinks one head is two big.
However, after eating the Titanoboa, the physical fitness of the Marine Corps has obviously improved a lot compared to yesterday, which gave them some comfort.
After leaving the abandoned cannibal tribe, the front will enter a depression, which was originally a swamp, so it is easy to get stuck, and the speed is so fast that it is almost too late to rescue.
Gwen volunteered to take the lead and used the spider sensor to explore the way ahead. The water level was below the ankle to half the waist, and walking would consume a lot of energy.
However, there were no casualties in the swamp area, which made Colonel Todd breathe a sigh of relief.
The water level in the next area is relatively deep, almost reaching the neck, and there are more aquatic organisms in it, so it is still unknown what is there.
Gwen and Jessica couldn't walk on the ground because of their height. Lin Fan was about 1.8 meters tall. He put the two of them on his shoulders, sat one on each side, and walked directly in front.
But Lin Fan finally had to face his first opponent.
A Salomon crocodile, thirteen meters long and as wide as an ordinary speedboat, swam in. This place should belong to its territory, so no other aquatic life is close.
Colonel Todd was going crazy. It's better on land, but this is in the water. How could they do such a thing without ammunition? !
The Salomon crocodile twisted its tail, faster than a speedboat, pushing the water waves, making the Marines' bodies weightless.
Lin Fan put Jessica and Gwen down, and then faced the Salomon crocodile.
Colonel Todd originally planned to use the Gauss rifle to fight the broken bones, but seeing Lin Fan rushing up, he gave up the idea, but this one-handedly charging up and fighting a 13-meter-long giant crocodile, isn't it courting death?
Gwen used the spider sense to catch Lin Fan's life signal. Hope he's ok.
Lin Fan grabbed the horny back of the Solomon crocodile, causing the Solomon crocodile to suffer.
Crocodiles are very cruel creatures. They drag their prey into the water, then bite the prey's body in circles, tearing the flesh off.
At the same time, this is also a common method used by crocodiles to throw off their enemies.
The Solomon crocodile submerged in the water and kept turning in circles, trying to shake off Lin Fan on its back.
Lin Fan's hands turned into claws, and he climbed on the back of the Solomon crocodile, and then dunked his claws into its eye sockets, pulling out the two eyeballs.
The originally boiling water calmed down again.
Jessica grabbed Gwen's arm.
Gwen comforted: "It's okay, he's very strong, and he's still alive."
Colonel Todd and others also held their breath.
Suddenly a huge object floated up, it turned out to be the body of the Solomon crocodile.
Then Lin Fan came out, climbed onto the crocodile corpse, and said with a smile, "Today's meal is ready."
"It's really you, this kind of thing can kill you." Colonel Todd suddenly felt that if his old friend George hadn't recommended this Chinese, the mission of Osborn would have been wiped out long ago.
But one wave of unrest and another wave of ups and downs! !
The blood of the Salomon crocodile is spreading in the water, and a large number of aquatic creatures are approaching in the distance.
Lin Fan scanned with the eyes of God.
Piranhas: Scary small fish species living in the lower reaches of the Amazon. They often compete with dominant aquatic creatures for prey. Their violent feeding methods are often massacred by the owners of their prey. However, as long as they are for feeding and reproduction, piranhas will be fierce Fearful of death to seize prey. The source of the bloody smell can be found in waters more than ten kilometers away.
Poof... poof...
These piranhas suddenly jumped out of the water, as if a hammer hit the soldier's face, and with a sharp bite, the sharp fangs could crush even the skull.
At the same time, the piranhas under the water will gnaw at the soldiers' bodies frantically, tearing them off with every bite. The severe pain, not to mention counterattack, will turn into white bones covered with mottled flesh before they even have time to scream.
Lin Fan thought about it, before the crocodile guarded this water area, the piranhas could not come over, at least on the premise that there was no bloody smell.
But now the Solomon crocodile died and released a bloody smell, which attracted the group of piranhas and caused heavy casualties to the remaining marines.
But what's worse is that it's not over yet.
A wave of dozens of giant electric eels attacked and discharged discharges into the waters. Even if the piranhas were very violent, it was difficult for them to resist the power produced by the combination of water and electricity.
Soldiers who get too close at the same time are paralyzed.
The body of electric eels is semi-cartilaginous, and they are not very interested in piranhas, but fresh humans.
Chi slip.
Those soldiers who did not escape and were left in the waters were drilled through their mouths by electric eels, and then they were stimulated by living electric currents to stay awake, and they had to experience the pain of being eaten up by electric eels.
Colonel Todd and others climbed onto the land, and there were 21 soldiers left, and most of them were wounded. Their appearance was extremely embarrassing, and everyone's eyes were full of fear.
But Jessica's exclamation made Colonel Todd see hope again.
A flower field of blood orchids is not far ahead. And it doesn't look like any dangerous creatures.
