Survival male god

Chapter 185 Rainbow Pool

There are about 200 million alligators living in the swamps of the southern United States.

These include American alligators, black caimans, and saltwater crocodiles.

Black caimans are found mainly on the border of South America, while saltwater crocodiles are found in bays and deltas.

As for the state of Louisiana where Chen Jing lives, the main species of crocodile is the alligator that has been sent to the door before.

Its body size is generally about two or three meters, and the largest adult individual can be more than five meters long. It is the uppermost existence in the swamp ecological food chain.

Crocodiles are such creatures that all experienced wilderness survivors have dealt with them.

Naturally, Chen Jing has also come into contact with a lot, both at home and abroad.

But to say that there is not a single large crocodile that has been hunted by hand.

This kind of guy with a great reputation in nature has a long history. It has multiplied from the age of dinosaurs to the present and has witnessed the prosperity and decline of civilization on this planet. It is called the "living fossil" among animals.

This is enough to prove how excellent the biological traits of crocodiles are, and they even retain most of the forms and functions of ancient times.

To put it simply, crocodiles have almost no natural enemies except in their own habitat during their juvenile period.

Feeds on small fish and insects when young, and as adults, their diet is further enriched and will eat a variety of large fish, amphibians and reptiles, including many mammals.

Take alligators as an example, the largest alligator, in addition to preying on its own kind and pythons, bison, jaguars, and even bears that live on land have all been awed by their ferocity.

According to the description of the mission, since he was dubbed the "Swamp Giant Alligator", Chen Jing believed that his hunting target must not be an ordinary adult alligator.

Therefore, on the way, he found many crocodile nests and encountered a few alligators, but in the end he didn't choose to make a move, but just took a detour and left.

As night fell, Chen Jing cut down many branches and built a triangular platform on the water.

The bonfire was lit again, the raw water was re-filtered with cloth, and boiled in fresh bamboo tubes.

His backpack was full of food he had gotten in the past few days.

Including some palm hearts, atta and wild oranges unique to the swamp, and the staple food is a big fish caught in the evening.

"I have to say that although the environment in the depths of the swamp is harsh, walking in this kind of place will make your lower body wet every second."

"But aside from these things, the richness of resources inside far exceeds that of the surrounding wetlands!"

"There are all kinds of magical medicines, fruits, and unknown fish. Every time you step down, you can feel the species in the water increasing."

"Except for the illusion that these big trees will give you ghostly shadows at night, the rest of the experience is surprisingly good."

Chen Jing drank the freshly brewed tea and ate the fresh and tender grilled fish, feeling extremely satisfied.

But after a while, he remembered something that had been in his mind for a long time.

"By the way, do you still remember the Rainbow Pool I photographed yesterday at noon?"

"Only when there is sunshine during the day, the muddy water surface on the ground will show colorful colors. Once it is cloudy and night, the colors will disappear."

"At that time, everyone was still confused. I thought about it for a day, and finally remembered that I had seen similar situations in other places."

"This is a very unique natural phenomenon. Under the water surface of the swamp, there is some solidified oil in the mud layer. When the temperature rises during the day, the oil melts and the water surface becomes colorful."

"At night or on a cloudy day, the temperature drops, the oil solidifies and sinks, and the water surface returns to normal. This cycle repeats itself, day and night."

"This is not a kind of pollution, the reason lies in the word "rot". The seeds of certain plants, such as acorns and pine cones, have not been completely decomposed in a unique natural environment, resulting in a large amount of vegetable oil existing in the mud among."

"There is also a relatively rare theory. Some people propose that some kind of microorganism separates the metal elements in the soil, and under the right temperature and light, it will produce color, which has nothing to do with oil."

"In the beginning, I also thought the former was more likely. After all, there are too few microorganisms that can separate metal elements."

"But after a day of observation, I found a strange place..."

Chen Jing's expression became extremely intriguing. Speaking of this, he held a bamboo tube and drank slowly.

The audience roared with anger.

【"You're talking about it, it's tempting, isn't it?"

"A broken dog can't be a house!"

"A Jingshen is by the river, laughing at the crocodile being flooded, the crocodile bites off Jingshen's whip, and Jingshen cries oh my god."

"What about down there?"

"Say it quickly, I'm so anxious to death!"

"Half of the talk, it's held."]

Chen Jing rolled his eyes angrily, and said:

"What's the hurry?"

"Even the water is not allowed to drink, right?"

"The anchor is young and afraid of online violence, if you scold me again, you can only break the defense and broadcast..."

After making a joke, Chen Jing recovered his normal expression and continued:

"This strange phenomenon is that in areas within the rainbow pool, although the vegetation has not changed, the number of animals has decreased."

"I tried to use acidic grass juice and alkaline solution to mix with the water in the rainbow pool, and the result was a replacement reaction, including color change, temperature rise, bubbles, precipitation and condensation..."

"So I came to an important conclusion that there are indeed excessive levels of heavy metals in some swamp areas. In other words, this is a different kind of pollution."

"But its appearance is not necessarily caused by human factors."

"After discovering this situation, another kind of doubt arose in my heart. You said, over the years, will the plants here absorb a large amount of toxic substances?"

"As for the birds and animals, if they eat the poisonous fruits and seeds by mistake, they will slowly die in the swamp and never leave."

"The water system of the original swamp was not active, but over time, fish, birds, and plant seeds continued to migrate to the location."

"Excessive heavy metals will slowly spread to other areas in this way."

"One day, the creatures in the entire swamp will be wiped out."

Chen Jing's words sparked heated arguments and discussions among the audience in the live broadcast room.

Some people think that he has found the real source of the ghost swamp horror phenomenon.

Others said that such remarks are simply nonsense, how could a little bit of heavy metals exceeding the standard lead to the extinction of life in the huge swamp area.

In the end, Chen Jing could only speak out and stop this meaningless quarrel.

"Some things can be changed by non-human beings. No matter which direction it will develop, we can't stop it."

"Just like the hole in the ozone layer cannot be reversed, no, maybe it's just that our current technology cannot interfere with nature."

"Human beings will be able to create miracles if they don't keep the future intact. All in all, let's stop this debate!"

"My mission was to find a swamp crocodile, experience a traditional Louisiana swamp hunter routine, and get back to civilization, that's all."

"It's getting late, everyone, good night, um... no, it should be daytime in China."

"Then see you later, we will see you in ten hours..."
