Chapter 284: Death Valley (9)
Walking through the ruins of Maha, the scenery ahead changes again.
The thousand-year-old trees live up to the truth, and what is displayed in front of each of us is a sea of red.
This red ocean is not seawater, but a sea of flowers.
A sea of red and bewitching flowers.
"This is the Red Snake Valley, and through the Red Snake Valley, we can enter that place. ”
Red Snake Valley?
Hearing Xu Mu's words, I subconsciously looked at this sea of red flowers.
"There are countless red snakes hidden under this sea of flowers, the longest of these red is not as long as our arm, the shortest is not as long as our little finger, this red is not as poisonous as ever, but it is extremely strange, people who are bitten by them will be addicted, just like poppies, they bite a bite, you will want them to bite you a second bite, a third bite, until you don't know how you died and died. ”
"Let's go! To get there, we'll have to cross this valley of the Red Serpent. ”
Xu Mu was the first to step into the sea of red flowers, I didn't expect this sea of red fire to be so deep, after Xu Mu entered the sea of flowers, this sea of flowers had already passed Xu Mu's waist.
Since Xu Mudu has already taken the lead, we can't lag behind.
The moment I stepped into the Red Snake Valley, I suddenly felt something moving back and forth on my feet.
"Don't be afraid, the more nervous you are, the more they will attack you. ”
Hearing Xu Mu's words, I opened my mouth and asked Xu Mu, who was walking in front, "Can they still feel that we are nervous?"
"Isn't that nonsense you are talking about, people will involuntarily tremble when they are nervous, do you say they can feel it? ”
Well, with all due respect, I resolutely shut my mouth.
Walking in a sea of flowers below the waist can only be felt by yourself.
In short, every step I took was terrified, for fear that the red snake hidden in this sea of flowers would bite me coldly.
But strange to say, we have come this way, as if there has been any danger at all, and there are no poisonous insects, poisonous snakes and the like that actively attack us.
It must have been the ointment that Xu Mu gave us.
Although this Red Snake Valley is very large, there is always a time when it is finished, and the moment we walked out of the Red Snake Valley, I was finally relieved.
The pressure on his body was lifted at once.
"Well, here we are, and this is the end of our safe journey, and the poison I have prepared can only escort us here, because the next place we are going to, even if I have only been there once, and the one I have been to is only on the edge of that place, and I have not dared to go deeper. ”
"But this time with you by our side, I think we might be able to go further. ”
After Xu Mu finished throwing this sentence at us, he limped forward first.
Xu Mu didn't tell us what that place was called, maybe even he didn't know what the name of that place was.
Walking through a dense jungle, I was stunned when Xu Mu led us to our final destination this time.
The tropical jungle is still a tropical jungle, but it is much looser than the jungle behind us.
What struck me the most strange was the stone gate that stood in front of us covered with vines and made of stones.
The stone door has no door, just the appearance of a door frame.
Around the stone gate, I saw rows of Yan Shan.
At first glance, and without the size of the tropical jungle, it looks like we're going into a back garden.
"The stone and the fence are naturally here, not artificially placed. ”
Qin Yue looked at the stone gate and the stone fence and said to us in a determined tone.
"If you look closely at this stone door, apart from the lack of any carving, it looks like a door frame made of three stones at first glance, but you are looking at it......"
When Qin Yue was talking, she had already taken out her hook and hooked the top of the door frame, she was pulling the top of the door frame, pulling hard, but the stone on the two stone pillars was motionless.
Hesheri Diana joined in, and Gu Yicheng and Gou Tang joined in.
The four of them were together, but they still couldn't pull the stone.
"It's a whole, it just looks a lot like a door frame, it's a strangely shaped stone, well, that's it, so we don't have to guess else, this rainforest doesn't belong to any one of the ancients. ”
Hearing Qin Yue's words, I nodded ignorantly.
"Let's go, go in, I'll take the lead. You follow me. ”
Xu Mu stepped into the stone door frame first, and we followed.
After entering this tropical jungle, Xu Mu walked unusually cautiously and slowly.
Strangely enough, I didn't see any poisonous snakes or poisonous insects in this tropical jungle.
Not only can you not see it, but you can't hear any insects.
Quiet, this kind of stillness is not the stillness of the jungle at all.
"All of them cheered up, and my eyes were fixed on your surroundings, I was scared out of it when I first came here. ”
"Remember that everything that you see in your eyes here is not what it is. ”
I understood Xu Mu's words, but I didn't feel like I understood them.
What the eye sees is not what it is.
And Xu Mu's words gave me a deep understanding in the next moment.
To my right, I saw a green leaf, but I accidentally touched it with my shoulder, and it flew away in my stunned eyes.
Fly is really fly!
Camouflage, this is a butterfly disguised as a leaf, and the moment it folds its wings, it actually turns into a leaf.
"See, all the animals that live here, some are good at camouflage, some are hiding in the leaves above our heads, I'm not sure if they are poisonous or not, everyone be careful. ”
Xu Mu's words were heavy, and at this moment, we were all vigilant.
At this moment, I also had a deep understanding.
In this tropical jungle, we can only hear our own footsteps and breathing, and nothing else.
Even the swaying of leaves I had never heard in this tropical jungle.
And just as we were concentrating on our way, Hesheridina's voice suddenly sounded behind me.
Her voice was calm, and there was a deep fear mixed in her composure.
"Look at my earlobe, if it's been bitten by something. ”
Hearing Hesheridina's words, Xu Mu walked quickly to her side.
"Let me see!"
At this moment, we all looked at Hesheridina's earlobe.
Her earlobes were red, but not swollen.
"Does it hurt?" asked Xu Mu to Hesheridina.
"It doesn't hurt, it's itchy, it's itchy and I want to scratch it. Just now when I was walking, I suddenly felt something fall on my ear, I didn't dare to move, so I shook my head gently, and when I finished shaking my head, I felt that my earlobe was very itchy. ”
Hesheridina's earlobe didn't show any signs of mosquito bites, but it was red, red as blood.
"Don't move. Xu Mu ordered Hesheridina.
As he spoke, Xu Mu took out a cloth bag from his satchel and pulled the bag open, revealing its true face.
Xu Mu's cloth bag is a needle bag, and there are many needles of different sizes in the needle bag.
Without explaining to us, Xu Mu pulled out a silver needle like an embroidery needle from the needle bag, and then raised his hand and plunged it into Hesheridina's earlobe.
Hesheridina's earlobe was bleeding, but it was not red blood, but black blood.
Pulling the silver needle out of Hesheridina's earlobe, Xu Mu looked at us with a worried face and said, "Don't worry, it's okay." ”
After saying this to us, Xu Mu began to look around us.
I don't know what he's looking for, but my gut tells me it must have something to do with Hesheridina's ears.
Xu Mu didn't let us follow him, but told us to guard against the surroundings.
When Xu Mu returned to us again, I saw Xu Mu holding a grass with five-petaled leaves in his hand.
"Try this!"
Xu Mu plucked the five-petal leaves, put them in his hands and began to knead them.
