Wandering in the world of martial arts

Chapter 126 Swamp mud pit, fingertip flames

After making up his mind, Wu Chen took a short rest and stood up.

The one washed up on the mud flat with him, and the bamboo that helped him save his life, he walked over and picked it up.

Walking in this swamp, because I don't know what's underwater, so there must be something that can explore the way. This is the same reason as he was in the Sea Snake Cave before.

Wu Chen started to move.

He first used a bamboo pole to explore the path in the water beach in front of him, and only after making sure that there was no danger, he stepped forward to follow.

However, before walking a few steps, Wu Chen frowned.

It's really not easy to walk here!
Because the feet are stepping on the mud, every step takes a lot of effort.

And soon, his bamboo pole touched something blocking the way. He stepped forward and touched it with his hand, and found that it was a piece of rotten wood. He took a lot of effort to move the piece of rotten wood away, and then continued on Walk.

There are a lot of driftwood soaked in this kind of water, which makes Wu Chen's walking speed slow.

Then Wu Chen discovered another thing that made him depressed.

he's lost.

The environment of this swamp seems to be the same from front to back, he can no longer tell the difference between south, east and north, and he even went around in a circle and came back!
It can't go on like this!

If it took so much effort to escape the swamp, how could it take three days for him to find the system's settlement?
Wu Chen came to a taller tree nearby, and started climbing directly without using any tools.

Soon, he climbed to the top of the tree and looked around.

Then his heart sank.

He looked from the height of the trees, but he still couldn't see the edge of the swamp from a distance!

This swamp, I didn't expect it to be quite big!
How can this be good?

There is no way, now I can only catch one direction and run there, and it should be possible to leave this swamp.

Wu Chen chose a direction that seemed to be relatively higher, and started to head there.

An hour later, Wu Chen passed a swamp.

Walking here, even the calves will get stuck in the mud, and every step is very strenuous.

At this moment, when Wu Chen stepped on a place and was about to lift his foot to leave, an accident happened suddenly!

With the strength of his legs and feet, instead of being able to leave, he sank deeper and deeper, even his entire thigh was sunk in the mud!

So now, he is only above the waist above the water!

Wu Chen said badly!
He must have fallen into a sinkhole!
This is due to flowing groundwater eroding the limestone, creating a pocket-like thing filled with silt and water that could swallow an entire car.

In this kind of mud pit, the more you struggle, the deeper you will be sucked!
At this time, I can no longer struggle indiscriminately!

Wu Chen quickly recalled the method of leaving the mud pit explained in the video he had watched before, and soon had an idea.

He laid the bamboo pole across the dirt in front of him.

In this way, when you grasp the two ends of the bamboo pole with both hands, it is equivalent to increasing the surface area of ​​the human body and can bear more weight.

Then Wu Chen began to lower his head and lie on his chest, trying to put his entire chest on the bamboo pole.

Then, he started exerting force from the waist, buttocks, and legs, little by little, and slowly lifted the buttocks away until he couldn't lift them a little bit.

Afterwards, he moved the bamboo pole forward a little bit, followed by the whole upper body, and then exerted force on the lower body, using all the strength in his body, to lift up again.

In this way, in the process of constant struggle, the buttocks were first lifted out, then the thighs, and finally the calves, until the entire lower body gradually got out of the mud pit.

Wu Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

But you can't completely relax just yet.

Next, he lay down on the bamboo pole and crawled forward, finally escaping from the limestone pit!

Wu Chen fell on a hard ground, feeling like he was about to collapse.

He is now covered in mud from head to toe, and there is a pile of sand in his pants, which makes him very uncomfortable.

In fact, when he left Jinniu Island, his body didn't recover. He didn't rest well during the time he was drifting at sea, and then he encountered a storm, which made his body lose strength again, so now his overall physical condition is not good. of.

However, he had to find a settlement within three days.

Although the system didn't specifically say what mission penalty there is, the title of "Elite Forerunner" cannot be invincible. If the penalty for failure this time is harsher, it will be very detrimental to his future development.

The start was already so bad, and he couldn't let it get worse.

So it's best to do it as soon as possible.

In order to drive a longer distance before dark, although Wu Chen was tired, he persisted in walking for another two hours before finally stopping.

The edge of the Everglades was still out of sight.

And by this time it was almost dark.

He had to set up the shelter and rest at night.

He plans to build a bed in a tree and light a fire, which will prevent predators from attacking at night.

He chose a small, stout ash tree.

The advantage of this tree is that there are many vines on it, which can be used as natural ropes to tie things.
Wu Chen quickly got to work, found some hard branches, tied them to the branches of this small ash tree, and built a branch bed.

He spread palm fronds on top of it for a mattress.

But then, there is a very troublesome thing.

In the humid environment of this swamp, it is basically impossible to start a fire with bare hands.

So, is it OK?
It seems to be okay, if it is just to defend against animal attacks, there is really no need to light a fire.

Wu Chen had obtained a "safe sleep" before, and when he was sleeping, there would be a system to help alert him.

However, he still decided to live.

There are two reasons. First, he needs to use flames to roast his clothes and dry his body. Second, he can light a fire to roast some cooked food, and he can also boil the sewage for drinking.

The benefits of fire are enormous.

But the wood here is all damp, and it is impossible to make fire by drilling wood.

If it is someone else, there is really nothing to do at this time.

But don't forget, Wu Chen still has "Flame Finger"!
Although he hasn't practiced yet, he still has more than 400 minutes of epiphany time!

Because he was not in a hurry before, he didn't use up these epiphany times, because he was not sure that these epiphany times would be easy to get in the future.

But now, there is no way.

"System, I want to activate the epiphany time!"

After Wu Chen said something, he raised his right thumb!
After opening the epiphany time, his ability to comprehend immediately improved a lot!
Now that I started practicing "Fire Finger" again, many things that I didn't understand before were easily solved!

Half an hour later, he turned off the enlightenment time, grabbed a ball of resin with his left hand, moved his qi to the position of the thumb of his right hand, took a deep breath, and pressed his thumb on the resin!
With a sound of "Chi!", a bunch of flames sprang up lightly!

Wu Chen was overjoyed!
It worked!
He successfully used the "Flame Finger"!
