I traverse America, using holy light to quell American terror!

Faced with the sudden downpour, everyone huddled together under the small boat awning to take shelter.

However, the cabin, which was gradually leaking water, clearly wouldn't last much longer.

Li Yuan pointed to the withered tree in front of the bow of the boat and said to everyone:

"We can climb along it to the other side."

Mary, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up and asked:

"But there's still a distance in between, how do we get across?"

There are crocodiles in the swamp!

"It's simple, just lay the tree down."

Before anyone could react,

Li Yuan leaped onto the bow of the boat and kicked the withered tree hard!

*Click*

After a sound of wood breaking,

The dead tree fell straight down, its crown crashing onto the bank with a thud!

Li Yuan clapped his hands and said to everyone:

"Come on, let's hurry up, or the ship will sink."

Everyone stared in disbelief at the fallen tree, forgetting even to seek shelter from the rain.

Edward and Cotton decisively stepped over the dead trees and crossed to the other side.

Only then did the others realize what was happening.

They quickly and carefully climbed over one by one.

But just as Li Yuan, who was left last, stepped onto the withered tree,

Suddenly, a crocodile with its gaping maw sprang out from the water below!

Before Li Yuan could even make a move, Mary, who had already reached the shore, pulled out a pistol.

He pulled the trigger directly at the crocodile!

"Bang--"

Whether it was luck or Mary's marksmanship was genuinely good,

The crocodile, with its mouth open, was hit directly in the upper jaw by a bullet.

Startled by the pain, the crocodile suddenly shrank back into the water!

Seeing this, Li Yuan immediately put away his shotgun and smiled as he praised Mary:

"Wow, that's a good shot."

Mary nodded with lingering fear and whispered:

"Thank you for the compliment."

At this moment, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the crocodile retreat.

They then quickly surrounded Sean, shouting:

"Oh my god, we want our money back!"

"This trip to the swamp was absolutely terrible!"

"That's right! Are you a director or not?"

However, Sean, clutching his head, blurted out something unexpected in a panic:

"No! I'm not a guide!"

I just wanted to take my family's boat out for some fun...

It turns out Sean wasn't a director at all.

He was the son of the owner of Mary's Witchcraft Shop.

Everyone was speechless upon hearing this, and they exchanged glances.

I didn't know what to do for a moment.

At this point, it seems to be an attempt to divert attention from the conflict.

Sean suddenly pointed at Mary, who was holding a gun, and shouted:

"How did you get a gun? What are you doing here?"

Hearing this, the others also turned their heads, seemingly wanting to stay away from Mary who was holding a gun.

Upon seeing this, Mary sighed softly and slowly revealed the purpose of her trip.

It turns out Mary wasn't there for tourism; she was searching for her missing father and brother.

The two of them were crocodile hunters in the swamp.

A few days ago, everyone, including the boat, disappeared in the swamp.

An actress standing nearby voiced her doubts:

"But you still haven't explained why you brought a gun."

Mary said somewhat nervously:

"Because I know it's not safe here, there are monsters!"

Aside from Li Yuan and the other two who knew the truth

The other passengers were all taken aback, and they all wore expressions of disbelief.

Sean denied it:

"No! You're talking nonsense, there's nothing here, only crocodiles!"

Upon hearing this, Mary explained emotionally:

"You're talking nonsense! You have no idea what we're facing!"

It will kill us all!

With trembling hands, Mary began to tell the legend of the swamp to everyone.

Legend has it that a father and son once lived in a small cabin in the swamp of Honey Island.

The son, Victor, was a deformed child, ugly in appearance and intellectually disabled.

The children around him were all terrified and disgusted by Victor's appearance.

This situation worsened as Viktor grew older.

Until one year's carnival,

Three mischievous children arrived at the wooden house in a small boat.

He wanted to scare Viktor with firecrackers.

Viktor's father came home just in time to see this scene.

He was so angry that he wanted to chase after and beat the three children.

However, the firecrackers thrown by the three children accidentally set the wooden house on fire.

Viktor, locked inside the room, was terrified.

He frantically pounded on the window and shouted, hoping his father would save him.

In desperation, Victor's father grabbed an axe and prepared to chop down the door.

But then, an accident happened!

As the door was slashed open,

The axe struck Victor, who was hiding in front of the door, perfectly!

Upon seeing this, Viktor's father immediately panicked.

He couldn't believe that he had accidentally killed his son.

He turned and fled the cabin.

Viktor, however, was burned to death inside.

At this point, Mary sighed and said softly:

"From then on, people always saw a figure carrying a short-handled axe."

It appeared in the swamp, hunting down anyone who approached the wooden house.

Just as Mary finished speaking, a thunderbolt struck!

Everyone looked in alarm toward the direction of the thunder.

Amidst the flashing lightning, a dilapidated wooden hut suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.

Mary pointed to the wooden house on the high slope and cried out in terror:

"Oh no! It's that cabin, Victor is coming!"

"Stop scaring people here, there aren't that many ghosts."

The director, soaked to the bone, scoffed at Mary with a disdainful look.

Then he addressed the crowd:

"I'm going to rest in that cabin; my DV camera isn't waterproof."

As he spoke, he started to walk towards the wooden house.

At this moment, the elderly couple suddenly suggested:

"I think he's right. It's better to stand here in the rain listening to ghost stories."

I'd rather sit inside the cabin; maybe there'll be food inside.

Seeing that no one believed her, Mary covered her head and shouted:

"Don't go, please! There really are monsters there!"

Apart from the couple and the director

Everyone else stood still, caught in a dilemma.

They wanted to go into the cabin to take shelter from the rain and rest, but they were afraid that there might really be monsters there.

At this moment, Li Yuan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.

He shouted to the three people walking towards the wooden house:

"I think what Mary said is true; there is indeed danger there."

"Tch! Stop playing tricks on me."

The director turned around and gave Li Yuan the middle finger, then laughed and cursed:

"You're not even from around here, how do you know there's danger here?"

He then turned around and slowly walked towards the wooden house on the high slope.

Li Yuan shook his head and said with a smile:

"It's impossible to reason with a damned ghost; perhaps this is your fate."

As soon as Li Yuan finished speaking

A burly, tall, and ugly figure suddenly appeared in front of the director, like a ghost!

The director walked forward with his head down, not noticing anything unusual.

Until he crashed into that massive body.

"Ugh! What the hell is that...?"

The director muttered a curse under his breath, then looked up.

But when he saw the hideous monster standing in front of him, he finally believed what Mary had said.

He spoke to the monster before him, his voice trembling slightly:

"Um... Mr. Victor, would you like to make a movie?"

However, it's no use saying anything now.

Viktor suddenly raised the short axe in his hand.

It struck the director squarely on the top of the head!

With a "splat," bright red blood splattered all over Viktor!

"ah--"

The elderly couple screamed in unison and ran away as fast as they could.

Li Yuan shrugged and said to Edward and Cotton beside him:

"See, I told you so."

The sudden appearance of the terrifying figure threw everyone into a panic.

They fled in a panic, not knowing where to go.

He was terrified of falling behind and being killed by Viktor.

Only Li Yuan and his two companions remained, along with Mary, who was holding a pistol.

Mary raised her pistol and pulled the trigger repeatedly.

Several bullets hit Viktor, who was slowly walking towards him.

But Viktor seemed unharmed and continued walking straight towards them.

Mary shouted at Li Yuan and the others:

"Run! I'm out of bullets!"

However, Li Yuan said nonchalantly:

"Don't be afraid, we'll be alright."

Then Li Yuan waved to Cotton beside him and gave the order:

"Go ahead, this is a very good practice subject."
