Forester

() "Sooner or later, those crazy ferocious beasts will discover this place. Hiding here is not a long-term solution. I have to find a way to leave."

Back on the cliff, Mu Yanku sat there for several hours. Seeing that there was still no movement from the rescue team, he felt a little restless.

Taking out the map of Bardia Royal Forest Park, Mu Yan pointed to the scientific expedition team base in Terai Village next to Bardia Royal Forest Park and said to the Nataru man: "I want to go here, you take me there."

The Tharu man came over and looked at the map, pointing at the endless grass and trees outside the cliff, waving his hands and shaking his head.

"It's very dangerous outside, but it's just as dangerous if you stay here. Instead of sitting here and waiting for death, it's better to give it a try."

Mu Yan put away the map, pointed to the cliff at his feet, wiped the neck of the Tharu man, and then said in a deep voice.

When the Tharu man saw this, he was inexplicably frightened. He pointed to the village not far away, then fell to his knees and cried loudly, kowtowing to Mu Yan with his hands clasped together.

"Are you begging me to stay or are you begging me to take you with me?"

Mu Yan didn't quite understand what he meant and asked angrily.

Upon seeing this, the Tharu man pointed to the location of Terai Village on Mu Yan's map, then pointed to the cliff at his feet, and finally sat down on the ground and looked at the village not far away, with a sad expression on his face.

"No matter how much reluctance you feel in your heart, you can't force yourself to die. You..."

Mu Yan finally understood what he meant. He didn't want to leave the village where his ancestors had lived for generations. He wanted to stay here and look at it and feel the deep love of the Tharu men. Mu Yan didn't know what to do to convince him.

, the words stopped.

"I don't need this food and water, I'll leave it to you."

Mu Yan, who had been silent for a long time, carried the sack on his back to the feet of the Tharu man, waved to him, then turned around and jumped off the cliff.

Mu Yan decided to fulfill his love for the land, because everyone has a persistence in their hearts. Guarding the village and the place where their ancestors have lived for generations may be the last and most determined persistence of this thin Tharu man.

Seeing Mu Yan throw down his things and leave, the Tharu man hesitated for a long time, his sad face looked extraordinarily calm, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Mu Yan in the distance.

"No need to thank me, you take care of yourself."

Mu Yan couldn't help but look back at him. Seeing this, he immediately waved to him and then dove into the thick elephant grass. He didn't dare to look back. He was afraid that when he turned around and saw the calm and solemn Tharu man, he would not be able to help himself.

shed tears.

Mu Yan did not rush to the river immediately. Instead, he first went to the Tharu village and found a medium-sized wooden board. Then he followed his previous impression and moved toward the river.

On the land, vines and elephant grass covered the sky, and dangers lurked. Mu Yan did not dare to travel long distances among them, so he could only find rivers to flow down.

The Tharu village was not far from the river. Mu Yan walked quietly and arrived at the river bank safely after a while. As the day and night passed, the bare tidal flats along the coast were covered with tall elephant grass, and everything he saw was green.

The grass was surrounded by dangers, and Mu Yan did not dare to stay for long, so he put the lawnmower on and immediately put the board into the water, then lay on it and floated down the river.

Mu Yan read the signs on the map and followed the river downstream for about 60 kilometers before arriving at the Karnali River. The Karnali River originates from the southern slopes of the Himalayas and flows through Nepal and India, with a total length of 1,080 kilometers and a basin of

It covers an area of ​​about 120,000 square kilometers. Terai Village, where the scientific expedition team base that Mu Yan is going to go to, is located on the lower reaches of the Gernali River.

The midday sun in Bardia was exceptionally bright. Mu Yan lay on the wooden board with most of his body soaked in the water, which was cool and refreshing. If this was a rafting holiday, it would definitely feel wonderful.

It's just that Mu Yan is not on vacation now, but on the run. Not only must he be wary of the swamp crocodiles that may suddenly appear in the water, but he must also be careful of the ferocious beasts that may suddenly emerge from the grass on the river bank. The journey is on tenterhooks, no matter how wonderful it is.

The feeling is also unbearable.

The next 10 kilometers were uneventful, except that if you go further you have to pass through a depression, which is one of the two habitats of the Bardia Swamp Crocodile. Their other habitat is the remote Geruwa River.

Although Mu Yan had personally torn apart a swamp crocodile, the swamp crocodile was only over two meters long and was considered very small among the group of swamp crocodiles. Mu Yan naturally would not conclude that he could deal with an adult swamp crocodile based on this.

Mu Yan chose to go ashore about 2 kilometers away from the depression. However, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he crawled in the elephant grass and waited quietly for more than half an hour until he confirmed that there were no ferocious beasts around.

He quietly slipped into the elephant grass and continued walking along the edge of the depression.

In order to avoid making any noise and alerting the swamp crocodiles in the depression, Mu Yan walked very slowly.

However, the dangers of nature are the most difficult to control. Even if Mu Yan is careful, he will inevitably encounter the swamp crocodile, the overlord of the depression.

Two swamp crocodiles fighting for territory were chasing each other in the elephant grass, and they happened to bump into Mu Yan who was creeping past.

"What a huge explosion of character. This is..."

Mu Yan was furious when he saw the two swamp crocodiles that had been fighting to death stopping and staring at him.

Two swamp crocodiles with a body length of more than four meters quickly separated, one on the left and one on the right surrounding Mu Yan.

Now that he had been discovered, Mu Yan would not sit still and wait for death. He slowly pulled out the lawnmower, bowed his body slightly forward, and prepared for the attack.

One of the swamp crocodiles was obviously a little anxious. When he saw Mu Yan holding a bright knife in his hand, he hissed and swung his body and flew towards him.

Mu Yan now has more or less control over his body's abilities and is more proactive in fighting, no longer restrained as before.

The swamp crocodile quickly rushed to Mu Yan. It suddenly jumped up from the ground, opened its bloody mouth and bit Mu Yan's head unscrupulously, as if it wanted to kill him with a fatal blow.

At the same time, another swamp crocodile was not to be outdone and flew over quickly. However, it did not jump up and bite Mu Yan's head. Instead, it opened its bloody mouth and bit Mu Yan's legs.

Enemies from above and below!

Mu Yan shouted deeply, kicked his feet on the ground, and flew backwards, barely dodging their attack.

After landing, he saw two swamp crocodiles stacked on top of each other. Mu Yan mustered up the courage to rush forward and cut off the swamp crocodile in the air with the lawnmower in his hand, trying to destroy the eyes of the swamp crocodile above.

However, before Mu Yan's lawn mower could land, the swamp crocodile that was being pressed suddenly jumped out from the ground and bit Mu Yan's calf.

Mu Yan's calf was bitten, and he lost his center of gravity. He fell straight on the back of the swamp crocodile above. Fortunately, he fell to this side, otherwise the calf would not have been bitten off a piece of flesh, but the whole leg would have been bitten off.

The swamp crocodile was right under him. Mu Yan endured the excruciating pain and stretched out the lawnmower in his hand to the softest skin under its neck and wiped it hard. A bloody arrow shot out.

Mu Yan succeeded in seriously injuring a swamp crocodile. In order to prevent another swamp crocodile from turning around and attacking, Mu Yan rolled out.

Sure enough, the swamp crocodile that bit Mu Yan's calf escaped not far away, then turned around and pounced back.

The swamp crocodile was approaching fiercely, and Mu Yan did not dare to fight with his calf injury, so he had to wrap his head around the injured swamp crocodile, which was writhing on the ground in pain, waiting for the opportunity to strike.

There was a companion blocking the way, but Mu Yan avoided and refused to fight. The swamp crocodile was a little angry, and it immediately raised its head and opened its mouth and let out a series of neighing sounds.

"Isn't it better to eat alone? Why call your companions?"

Mu Yan teased.

Of course, this was just what he said casually, and he did not understand what the swamp crocodile was shouting.

But what happened next made Mu Yan a little stunned.

The swamp crocodile was still neighing, and bursts of neighing suddenly came from the surrounding elephant grass, as if in response to the swamp crocodile's call. Then, Mu Yan heard the sound of the sound coming from all directions.

"You damn thing really called for help!"

Sensing something strange around him, Mu Yan immediately pointed at the swamp crocodile and cursed angrily.

This depression is overgrown with grass, and you can't see the edge at a glance. How many swamp crocodiles are lurking there? Mu Yan doesn't know. Based on the current situation, if he dares to run away randomly, he may alarm the entire swamp crocodile group. By then, I'm afraid

It’s really hard to fly without wings.

Therefore, even though he was surrounded on all sides, Mu Yan did not dare to run around. Suddenly, he had an idea and grabbed the tail of the dying swamp crocodile on the ground, and then used all his strength to drag it towards the swamp crocodile that was eyeing him.

.

The four-meter-long body was the best barrier. Mu Yan held a lawnmower and pressed on the swamp crocodile step by step.

The swamp crocodile didn't seem to expect Mu Yan's move. When his companion's body pushed him up, he had to sway his tail and move aside.

Taking advantage of the swamp crocodile's distraction, Mu Yan threw away the swamp crocodile in his hand, jumped up, and stabbed the swamp crocodile's head straight with the lawnmower in his hand.

puff……

A bloody arrow flew up, and the sharp lawnmower instantly pierced the swamp crocodile's upper jaw, and then pierced its lower jaw before the castration was complete.

The swamp crocodile's upper and lower jaws were connected together with the lawnmower. It lost its best attack weapon. Mu Yan turned his hands into claws and dug out a pair of its eyes.

His eyes were crushed, and Mu Yan's hands were stained with blood and colorful juices.

After gouging out the eyes of the swamp crocodile, Mu Yan immediately pulled out his lawnmower and jumped away.

The blind swamp crocodile rolled in the elephant grass together with the previous swamp crocodile. It no longer threatened Mu Yan. He looked around, picked a direction where there was no sign of the swamp crocodile moving, and then got in with the wooden board.

.

The swamp crocodiles in the depression had been alarmed. Mu Yan did not dare to stay. After getting away from the elephant grass, he groped in the direction facing away from the river. He wanted to use the dense forest to bypass the depression and then return to the river.
