Chapter 450 Encountering the Swamp Again

The two monkeys were clearly resistant to his enthusiasm. They wiped the drool off their heads in disgust, struggled a few times, and then broke free and ran to Ye Feng's side.

After treating Zhan Pengfei's wounds, Ye Feng looked solemnly at the forest not far away.

Those few faintly visible red eyes were extremely clear in the night.

He knew that these vampire bats wouldn't fly away easily.

"Keep your guard up while you're on duty, those beasts haven't had their fill yet."

Now that we no longer have the safe shelter of a treehouse, we must be extremely careful when spending the night in the wild, and the fire must never be extinguished.

There are far more deadly creatures in the jungle than just these bats.

Everyone nodded, and after the Chinese medicine was cooked and the wounds were treated, they all went back to sleep.

Tonight was extremely dangerous. If it weren't for the two monkeys' early warning, Ye Feng and his companions would not have escaped their fate.

Vampire bats are social animals, and they can transmit signals to other members of their species through sound waves.

To achieve the cooperative goals of predation and courtship.

Although Ye Feng and his companions slept with their backpacks on, these guys would sneak in through any gap they could find...

Viruses in bats are random, and you may not necessarily get infected, but who would be willing to gamble with their own life?

Soon, Qi Xiaojie took over Zhan Pengfei's job. Having learned from the previous experience, he naturally dared not relax in the slightest and kept his eyes wide open.

The bats watched as the fire grew larger and larger; the intense light was their nemesis…

After hesitating and circling for more than an hour, they finally gave up on their prey.

That night, as everyone took turns standing guard, the familiar chirping of birds gradually filled the air…

At 6 a.m., everyone was awakened by a dripping sound...

When I opened my eyes, I realized that it had started to drizzle again…

Ye Feng, who was on his last shift, had already put away the stove and put on a raincoat.

At this moment, the sky was only faintly lit, and the road ahead was barely visible.

Ye Feng increasingly felt that this was definitely a deliberate arrangement by the production team.

They knew it would rain in the next two days, which is why they made me leave during those two days.

This will significantly shorten the lead.

Unfortunately, the weather was unsuitable for travel, so the group could only stand in the rain, munching on dried meat and chatting as they waited silently.

It wasn't until 8 a.m. that the sky was fully bright.

Ye Feng then urged everyone to hurry on their way.

The pattering raindrops hit the raincoat, making a pattering sound.

The mountainous terrain is already difficult to traverse, and after nearly two days of rain, the ground is now a complete mess.

The soft, sticky soil, mixed with many withered branches and leaves, made it even more difficult for them to move forward.

The sensation was like walking on a giant pile of clay.

Combined with the strong earthy smell, everything became sticky and nauseating...

The only fortunate thing was that everyone followed the map, and the route was mostly downhill or flat, with not too much of an arc.

This saved a lot of physical effort and trouble...

But after walking for more than two hours, Ye Feng began to notice something was wrong with his feet.

The clay on the road surface used to leave a hole with every step...

But now it's becoming increasingly thin, and eventually there won't be any soil left; it'll all turn into water...

The others also noticed the change on the ground and looked puzzled.

How could the perfectly good ground suddenly be flooded?

Ye Feng sensed something was wrong and shook his head helplessly. What was bound to happen had finally arrived…

He sniffed around, and when he smelled the pungent odor, his suspicions were confirmed.

"Can you smell something special about this place?"

Upon hearing this, everyone also stuck out their noses and sniffed.

As a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine with special training, Zhan Pengfei quickly detected the pungent smell hidden within the earthy odor.

It wasn't that smelled particularly bad, just very pungent and overpowering...

It's somewhat like some kind of chemical liquid...

"Brother Feng, this taste... why does it taste so weird and awful?"

He had a embarrassed look on his face, and his expression was one of disgust.

Ye Feng slowly squatted down, poked at the withered leaves submerged in water with his finger, his brows furrowed...

"Ladies and gentlemen, unfortunately, we have entered a swamp. This pungent smell is a combination of marsh gas and miasma."

Hearing this, Tang Weiwei and his two brothers didn't react much.

Because they had only heard of such places but had never experienced them firsthand, they naturally did not understand how dangerous they were.

But Fu Changxiong and the others had actually seen it. When they parted ways with Ye Feng and headed towards this land, they passed through a swamp.

Ye Feng often shared this knowledge with them.

"Brother, that can't be right. I remember the swamp was a big pool of black mud, that stuff was all sticky..."

"I...I don't see it here either..."

Ye Feng rolled his eyes...

"I hope it's not true, but last night there were anacondas and vampire bats, and now there's miasma..."

I'm pretty sure our route will pass through mangrove swamps, and this... things are getting a bit complicated.

Seeing Ye Feng's serious expression, Tang Weiwei realized that the problem was not simple...

Are mangroves dangerous? What's there?

Ye Feng continued to lead the way, explaining the dangers of the area to them as they went…

Mangroves and wetlands are essentially complementary; they are both unique wetland ecosystems…

It plays an irreplaceable role in maintaining biodiversity, purifying water quality, and preventing wind and waves.

But at the same time, it is also one of the most dangerous and terrifying places in the entire Amazon.

The swamp, formed by countless soft, rotten silt, is foul-smelling and has hidden currents.

Once trapped, one will be unable to escape and will eventually be swallowed by the foul-smelling sludge.

Once their remains decompose, they will become nutrients for the swamp and form poisonous miasma.

This is similar to the Blood Pool in martial arts novels.

Regardless of the species, any living organism with a respiratory system will suffer from severe malaria disease, which can even have long-term consequences, if it inhales too much miasma.

Malaria, dysentery, dizziness, difficulty breathing, and finally death in the wilderness…

In some ways, it's equivalent to the gas produced when the trunk of the box tree burns.

Over the years, many adventurers who dreamed of conquering this land have perished here…

The body couldn't even be found afterwards...

Swamps are not only off-limits to humans, but also a nightmare for all native animals.

However, over time, many animals here have developed a sense of vigilance, and they will automatically avoid the miasma whenever they smell it.

To determine how dangerous the swamp is, one can smell the intensity of the miasma.

Ye Feng looked serious because he could smell the miasma even before he saw the swamp.

This indicates that the swamp is very large, and many animals have died there, making it extremely dangerous...
