Ling Zikai woke up suddenly.

In the mountains and forests not far away, He Ling's screams were still continuous, as if she had encountered something very critical.

Ling Zikai didn't dare to slack off, threw the seeds he had just gathered in his hand to the ground, turned around and ran towards He Ling quickly.

Because we have just started to collect, we are still in the same area, and we are only more than 100 meters apart.

Ling Zikai shuttled through the trees, completely ignoring the thorns that had cut the skin on his body, and rushed forward savagely. It only took five or six minutes to see He Ling standing there alone shouting, but Zhang Nan and Su Guoer were nowhere to be seen.

"What's wrong, Nan Nan and them?"

Ling Zikai rushed to He Ling's side and asked loudly.

He Ling pointed to a bush in front of her with a frightened face, and stammered, "Nan Nan and Su Guoer, they fell from there!"

Following He Ling's fingers, Ling Zikai realized that on the flat ground covered with fallen leaves in front of him, there were two people's heads, weren't they Zhang Nan and Su Guoer?

It's just that at this moment, the bodies of both of them have all sunk under the ground, and they have been buried in the position of their shoulders, but fortunately, they grabbed the bushes beside them with both hands, so they did not continue to sink.

But the bush was obviously floating on the surface, and some of them couldn't bear the weight of the two of them, and slowly began to sink.

Ling Zikai didn't have time to think about it, and was about to run over to rescue, but was stopped by a hand. Lin Xing'an's voice came from behind him: "Don't go over, they fell into the big smoke bubble!"

In the Xing'an Mountains, the so-called "big smoke bubble" usually refers to the scene of confusion in winter, when the sky is dark and blown by a snowstorm.

But some of the swamps in the forest are sometimes referred to as "big smoke bubbles".

In dense primeval forests, the litter on the ground is thick, and although microorganisms decay and decompose and merge into the soil, over the years, soft soil layers form in some places, and low-lying areas with abundant water become swamps.

It stands to reason that this woodland is now in the middle of the mountains, and it should not be a swamp, but it may only be that the ground has collapsed somewhere, and it will become a trap-like place.

However, this kind of place is covered with fallen leaves, which blends in with the surrounding environment, and is very hidden, so it is impossible to detect the danger in advance.

It's also hard to tell how deep it is or how big it is, so if you walk over it and trap yourself in it, it's even more troublesome.

"Uncle Lin, their bodies are still sinking, and they will die if they are late!"

"Quickly find a longer tree pole, hand it to them, let them hold on, and stabilize themselves first. ”

Hearing Lin Xing'an's reminder, Ling Zikai hurriedly looked around. However, it is impossible to find any ready-made tree poles available in a short period of time.

In a hurry, Ling Zikai quickly ran to a nearby birch tree, and used the ancestral god energy to punch the trunk of the tree with a diameter of more than ten centimeters.

There was a loud bang, and the birch tree broke off and slowly fell to the ground.

Ling Zikai didn't have time to remove the branches on it, he directly grabbed the trunk of the tree, lifted up the birch tree that had fallen to the ground, and ran to a distance of more than ten meters away from Na Suguoer and them, stretched out one end of the birch tree to them, and shouted loudly: "Grab the branches, I'll pull you up!"

The trunk of the birch tree was more than ten meters long, just enough to be handed to Zhang Nan and them.

Zhang Nan and Su Guoer, who were in despair, hurriedly let go of their hands that were grasping the bushes and grabbed the branches of the birch trees.

Ling Zikai pulled the trunk back with his hand.

But the bodies of the two were almost all trapped in it, and they couldn't drag them out for a while.

Lin Xing'an and He Ling thought that Ling Zikai's pull was not strong enough, so they hurriedly ran over to help.

"Get out of the way!"

Ling Zikai stopped their help and shouted at Zhang Nan and Su Guoer, "You guys hold the trunk of the tree with your arms, don't let go." ”

Zhang Nan and Su Guoer followed Ling Zikai's words, and their hands and arms tightly wrapped around the trunk.

I saw Ling Zikai's body squatting slightly, grasping the trunk of the tree with both hands, pouring energy into his arm, and after accumulating momentum, he shouted loudly: "Get up!"

I saw that his arm was raised violently, and the birch tree more than ten meters long in his hand seemed to have become a fishing rod, which was thrown up by him.

At this moment, Zhang Nan and Su Guoer, who were hugging on the end of the tree, were like two big fish hanging on the fishing line, which were pulled out vertically by Ling Zikai directly from the ground and hung in mid-air.

This scene stunned Lin Xingan and He Ling, who were standing on the side, opened their mouths wide, and couldn't close them for a long time.

Not to mention that the birch tree that was caught in Ling Zikai's hands and held a bowl more than ten meters long and thick in the mouth itself weighed no less than seven or eight hundred catties, plus the weight of Zhang Nan and Su Guoer, the combined weight was definitely more than a thousand catties, so he was lifted in his hand. And it doesn't look that strenuous.

They couldn't imagine how Ling Zikai's not burly body could contain such huge power, if he went to participate in the Olympic weightlifting competition, wouldn't he have to sweep all the events.

In a shocked gaze, Ling Zikai slowly moved the birch tree, took Zhang Nan and the others to a safe place, and only after they landed on the ground with their feet and let go of the trunk with both hands did they leave the birch tree aside.

He Ling and Lin Xingan hurriedly ran over.

Zhang Nan and Su Guoer, who were out of danger, were still in shock, and sat down on the ground all of a sudden, their clothes covered with dirt and leaves, looking embarrassed.

While cleaning up the dirt on Zhang Nan's body, He Ling asked with concern: "Nan Nan, are you okay, you really scared me to death just now!"

Zhang Nan's face was a little pale, but his expression was quite calm, he combed the hair that was floating on his face with his hand, and said, "I'm fine!"

Ling Zikai walked up to them, and when he saw Zhang Nan's calm tone, he couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart: "This girl, on the surface, looks quiet and quiet, she has just experienced the test of life and death, and she can still be so calm, and her psychological quality is not bad!"

On the contrary, seeing that Su Guoer's face was a little blue, it seemed to be even more frightened than Zhang Nan, so he couldn't help frowning and asked, "Why are you so careless? Su Guoer, didn't you find the danger beforehand!"

Although this large smoke bubble is very hidden, if you look carefully in advance, you can still see the clues in the distribution of plants growing on the ground. As Sugol, who grew up in the forest, he should be able to judge the danger.

Thinking of the danger just now, if he hadn't been nearby and rushed over in time when he heard the shouting, the lives of the two of them would probably have to be confessed here.

Ling Zikai thought that he was afraid for a while, so his tone of voice was a little angry.

Su Guoer's face rose, and when he saw Ling Zikai's angry look, he didn't know how to explain it.

Zhang Nan, who came back to his senses a little, said apologetically: "This matter has nothing to do with him, I accidentally ran over there and fell down." Seeing that I was in danger, Sugol rushed to save me, but I dragged him down and fell down. ”

"Fortunately, we stepped on a thick branch buried underneath our feet, and there happened to be a bush growing next to us, so we were able to stabilize our bodies and not continue to fall. I estimated that the smoke bubble was at least three or four meters deep, and if it really fell to the end, it would definitely be dead. How can there be smoke bubbles in this forest! I think most of them are hunting traps dug by people a long time ago, and after they catch the prey, they forget to fill them in and leave them here to harm people. What a fucking lack of morality!"

Su Guoer couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

"You yourself are careless, and you blame others!" Ling Zikai said dissatisfiedly.

"Okay, fortunately, nothing big happened, and you don't have to complain about each other anymore!"

Lin Xingan comforted beside him: "In the future, everyone should be more careful!"

In order to prevent further accidents, Ling Zikai changed the collection plan, no longer acting separately, but gathering together, and the range of activities was not allowed to exceed a radius of 100 meters.

As a result, the progress of the collection is much slower, but the security is increased.

Moreover, every time he went to a new area, Ling Zikai would quietly use his consciousness to investigate in advance to ensure that no accidents would happen again.

Nearly 300 different species of plants were collected throughout the afternoon.

This is also because it has just begun, and there are many types that need to be collected to have such a big harvest.

In the following time, after removing the plants that have already been collected, the number of targets to be collected will be greatly reduced, and it will be good to be able to find a dozen new plants in an area, and the progress will be slowed down.

According to the previous arrangement, this time I could only stay in the mountain for six days, and it had already taken half of the time on the way back and forth, so the time was still relatively tight.

The next day, as they continued to move around the area of collection, they gradually went deeper into the old forest.

When it was time to camp in the evening, they were not far from the Tiger Leaping Stream.

This was also deliberately done by Ling Zikai, when he came, he was already planning to go into the Tiger Leaping Stream again, so he took everyone closer to this side.

When he was resting at night, Ling Zikai quietly pulled Lin Xingan aside and said, "Uncle Lin, I want to go into the Tiger Leaping Stream tomorrow." ”

"Into the Tiger Jumping Stream?"

Lin Xing'an was obviously taken aback by Ling Zikai's proposal, and said, "Why did you suddenly think of going there."

It is one of the three desperate situations in the Xing'an Mountains, not only the miasma that pervades all the year round is poisonous, but it is said that there is also a poisonous bee that is also very powerful, and after being stung, it will pass out.

In the past, we at Lin University also organized an expedition group to go inside to have a look, but as soon as we reached the edge, we encountered miasma, and several people were poisoned, and finally had to withdraw. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Xing'an suddenly stopped talking, looked at Ling Zikai, and said, "By the way, I seem to remember that you told me about it before, you once went in, right?"

Ling Zikai nodded and said, "That's right!"

"You're not afraid of those miasma?"

Ling Zikai said vaguely: "Probably my physique is a little special, and I have immunity to miasma!"

Lin Xing'an suddenly became interested and said, "Then can you take all of us in?"
