Where there is water, there are living things. The swamp is a large reservoir on the earth. It not only has abundant biological resources, but also maintains the ecological balance in nature.
Chen Rui stood on the of the edge of the swamp, looking at the vast area in front of him, and could not see the end, like a swamp with a green carpet.
This swamp was once part of Lake Maien-Donbe.
Like the swamps that most lakes have evolved, here has also experienced subtle changes in nature.
This is a humid climate area suitable for all kinds of plants.
The river water brought sediment into the lake, because the water surface suddenly widened, the speed of the water flow slowed down, and the ability to carry sediment decreased. As the water drifted to the wide part of the lake, it was deposited on the bottom of the lake.
Over time, the lake became shallower.
And in different depths of the lake water, various aquatic plants gradually multiply.
In the depths of the lake, various algae such as lettuce are grown.
In deeper areas, duckweed, water lilies, water lily, etc. grow, and reeds and cattails grow in shallow coastal areas.
They keep growing and dying, and a lot of decaying debris continue to accumulate on the bottom of the lake, eventually forming peat.
As the bottom of the lake gradually became shallower, new plants appeared and developed from the surroundings to the center of the lake, the lake became shallower and smaller. When the sediment in the lake increased to a certain limit, the lake with the wide water surface turned into a shallow, water-grassed swamp.
At this moment, Babulu murmured something in his mouth.
Barbara translated Barbro's words in English and said, "Barbro said that the swamp is called 'Mamogi'." After the translation, Barbara explained to Chen Rui, "'Mamogi' in their language It means 'the devil's mouth'. It means that this swamp is very dangerous, deadly, and has killed many lives. "
Chen Rui said. "Finding a horror bird requires going deep into this swamp. Now that this swamp is called 'the devil's mouth.' It has killed many lives, it is very dangerous and deadly. There are other ways to let us enter the swamp more safely. ?"
Barbara translated Chen Rui's words.
Babro grunted.
Barbara translated the words of Barbro and said, "Barbro said yes, the tribes living on the edge of this swamp have lived here for generations, living on the richness of the swamp. They are very familiar with this swamp, in the swamp , Where they can pass safely and where they are very dangerous, they will trap people, they are very familiar and straightforward. "
Chen Rui said, "Can I hire them to help me find the horror bird?"
Barbara translated Chen Rui's words.
Babulu nodded and murmured.
Barbara translated Bablo's words and said. "Barbro said yes, you just need to send some gifts to the chiefs of these tribes."
Chen Rui asked, "What kind of gifts do they like?"
Barbara translated Chen Rui's words.
Babro grunted.
Barbara translated the words of Barbro. He said, "Exquisite and beautiful handicrafts." After translating, Barbara inserted a sentence, "It is best to make them aware of the value of items, such as fine gold, silver, gemstone jewelry, and your fine Chinese porcelain. Very good gift. "
Chen Rui nodded, and finally asked. "There is no taboo to communicate with them, so as not to inadvertently offend their gods."
Barbara translated Chen Rui's words.
Babro grunted.
Barbara translated the words of Barbro. Said, "The Pablo Patriarch said. Do not act in disrespect to their idols or totems, do not enter places where they are not allowed to enter, and we may enter some cannibal and human tribes. When you see something Do n’t make excessive movements and expressions at the time, it will irritate them. "
"Okay." Chen Rui nodded.
Bablo was very familiar with the expedition and entered the tribes.
Barbara acts as a translator.
Chen Rui sent all kinds of exquisite gold and silver wares, jewelry, and exquisite porcelain to the chiefs of these tribes.
The chiefs of these tribes are very happy and willing to help find and catch horror birds.
The chief who did not want to help also gave a lighter gift, and they all accepted the gift. They became indifferent and slightly hostile to Chen Rui's party and became friendly.
In the primitive tribe, giving gifts to others means that we are not hostile to coming here, and we have come with friendliness.
If we accept the gift, it means that we accept your kindness.
If you do not accept the gift, it means that we do not accept your kindness and you are not welcome here.
"Matriarch Kabul, is there really a horrible bird in this swampland?" Chen Rui was wearing a fur coat on the lower body next to him, showing dark and shiny skin on the upper body, back, shoulders, and arms cutting a crocodile tattoo with a blade, The face was covered with red, black, and white mineral pigments, and a head was woven with a wreath, tiny vines, and bird tail feathers, and decorated with malachite.
Barbara acted as a translator.
Kabula said with certainty, "Sure there is, I'll show you something." After that, Kabula took Chen Rui into a room and pointed to a pile of dry bones on a wooden shelf to Chen. Rui said, "This is the bone of the horror bird."
Chen Rui picked up a bone, which was very dry and calcified. It was full of small potholes, just like corroded rocks on the river bank. These bones have existed for at least several decades.
Chen Rui took a leg bone. From the joint, this is the upper leg bone of a huge bird, which is equal to the leg bone of a chicken leg.
This bone is very long, about 50 to 60 centimeters thick, very thick, 2 fingers wide in diameter, thicker than a human leg bone ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Compare the proportion of bird legs, Then, this big bird has a single leg over 1.3 meters and 1.4 meters.
Birds may be more than 3 meters tall and weigh more than 200 kilograms.
Very huge bird.
Inside the wooden shelf, there is a huge bird skull and a beak. The upper beak is very long, and the tip of the beak is very hooked and very pointed.
Chen Rui then confirmed the existence of the horror bird.
Chen Rui turned to Kabula and said, "How long have the bones of these horrible birds existed?"
Barbara translated Chen Rui's words to Kabula.
Kabula said, with a little pride in her expression.
Barbara translated Kabul's words and said to Chen Rui, "Chief Kabul said, for more than 50 years, this horror bird was captured by his grandfather and his people in the swampland."
