Lu Yuan, along with Xiao Shan and several family members, searched for the giant crocodile along the perimeter of the nearby river pool.
Because the terrain here is very complex, there are all sorts of unseen mud traps everywhere, and you could easily drown in them at any time.
Therefore, they had to slow down, preferring to lose their cars and belongings rather than lose themselves in this muddy trap.
These silts may look insignificant, but once you get stuck, it's very difficult to get out.
Most people have never had the opportunity to face this situation before. This was also the first time Lu Yuan and his group had encountered such a mud trap, so they had to carefully wade through the swamp.
Lu Yuan's eyes were filled with vigilance, and he had almost turned all his senses up to the maximum.
The people around were all quiet, simply walking forward, constantly paying attention to their surroundings and their vicinity.
Even the slightest movement could cause a huge problem, possibly involving a giant crocodile.
The giant crocodile is said to be tens of meters long. Such a huge crocodile could basically swallow everyone whole if it encountered them.
Lu Yuan continued walking forward, and the mud on the ground became increasingly wet.
After glancing at it, Lu Yuan immediately led everyone to walk in the opposite direction, so as to avoid the swamp and better avoid danger.
The wet mud stuck to the soles of the shoes, making them very heavy. As a result, people had to remove the mud from their feet after walking only a few steps, otherwise they would quickly exhaust themselves.
Lu Yuan was the first to walk, so he had to set a good example.
Everyone behind him followed him. After walking for a while, Lu Yuan discovered that the river was full of all kinds of leeches, each about half a meter long, wriggling back and forth in the water.
The water looks terrifying, and the sharp suction cups, once attached to a person's body, will rapidly suck all the blood out of them.
Although this substance has extremely high medicinal value, it is currently unusable for Lu Yuan and his group.
They continued walking forward. After Lu Yuan had gone about a few hundred meters, they suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from the woods in the distance.
Lu Yuan quickly crouched down, and the people behind him, seeing his reaction, all stopped and began to be on guard around.
Lu Yuan pointed forward, his ear pointing into the distant jungle, where something seemed to be slowly sliding across the muddy ground.
Be careful!
Lu Yuan pointed in the direction ahead, then spoke quietly from behind him.
Xiao Shan slowly relayed his words to the people behind her, and so on, one person telling the story to another.
Lu Yuan continued to listen quietly to the sounds in the distance; the sound of footsteps on mud was very crisp.
He could clearly tell that what was in front of him was a person, not a crocodile.
If it really were a crocodile, the sound would definitely be much louder than that; it should be much more intense.
Lu Yuan guessed that it was either one of his own people or other outsiders, because this place was no longer a secret.
He was definitely not the only one who could find out about this place from their own place, so there must be quite a few people who came here to hunt down the second-tier armored giant crocodiles.
However, there are also many dangerous things here, such as double-crossing.
This is absolutely the most common scenario, where human nature is completely exposed. If you don't have the ability to protect yourself, then having a treasure is a very dangerous thing.
Therefore, the principle of "black eats black" has become a basic rule in the entire food chain.
Only by becoming stronger can one better protect oneself, and to protect oneself, one must become stronger.
This creates a paradoxical cycle.
Therefore, how to become stronger is the biggest question in human history.
Those who had gone further away had not yet noticed Lu Yuan and his group, while Lu Yuan and his group walked forward one by one, quietly waiting in the nearby bushes.
The enemy drew closer, and Lu Yuan and his men gripped their weapons tightly, waiting for the enemy to appear.
All that could be heard was a burst of dissatisfied curses coming from afar.
"What the hell is going on? It's all muddy, how is he supposed to walk?"
"Yeah, damn it, I've wasted all my energy on mud the whole way. I hope the rest of the road won't be like this."
"Fourth brother, what's going on? Do you even know how to lead the way? Can't you take an easier route? If we keep going like this, we'll get stuck here sooner or later."
However, the middle-aged man walking at the front looked tired.
He was exhausted from walking, but there was no other way; going further out seemed to be even more dangerous.
He was the only person from the south in the entire group, so he was quite familiar with the area.
However, the Earth changed later, and the location here changed drastically. He had only been here once.
"Don't shush, don't talk, or you'd better shut up if you don't want to die."
After hearing his words, the people behind him, though dissatisfied, obediently shut their mouths.
Who knows what dangers might be nearby?
If they accidentally encounter danger because of what they say, who will take responsibility?
So the people in the distance continued to walk forward. The middle-aged man called Lao Si suddenly stopped after taking two steps. The people behind him were slightly taken aback, wondering what he was doing.
