vs 102 Demigods
readx;? A soldier lay on the ground, his body twitching strangely from pain. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The reason for this injury was obvious, and in his hand was a multicolored spider as big as an egg—the one that had been crushed. But it was clearly too late, and his pants were taken off, leaving him with a huge black lump on his lower body.
Seeing this, almost everyone could guess what was happening: when the unlucky guy pulled his pants open to urinate, a spider happened to fall into his crotch - and then it all happened.
From the time he screamed to the time Zhang Sanyou arrived here, it was only five or six minutes at most, but this guy had already rolled his eyes and lost consciousness.
The military doctor arrived, and in just a short time, he announced that the man was hopeless. "Neurotoxins," he explained. "If I had to say, give him a bullet so he would be less miserable. ”
"What kind of spider is this?" Although this spider has been pinched into a mess of rotten flesh scattered with juice, even Zhang Sanyou doesn't want to get close to this thing. "I've never seen it. "He's a local, and he's been there long enough, if not native. However, this primeval forest was indeed the first time he had entered. With such a fierce poisonous insect, it seems that as long as it is bitten, it will not be saved.
"I don't know either," said the adjutant beside him, "but there are probably quite a few of these spiders in this forest." He looked around, and the scene before him was quite shocking. It can be seen that the problem with this unlucky guy is not that it bites its lower body, but that the spider itself is too poisonous - it will be fatal wherever it bites.
Most of them were dressed and wore hats. But there are still a lot of exposed places such as collars, cuffs, trouser legs, etc. Besides, you have to sleep at night - sleep in such a hellish place.
A hundred kilometers of marching in such a ghost place may directly lose one-third of your troops due to injuries and illnesses.
"Sir, the soldiers are starting to get restless. He said in a very soft voice.
After all, they had only walked for a few hours, and their current location was still on the outskirts of this primeval forest, so they could only say that they had advanced a little bit from the outside to the inside. And if you want to cross this forest, the distance by air is nearly 100 kilometers. Compared with the distance traveled now, it is simply the first step of a long march.
If even the danger here is so deadly, then it is understandable that the team that found the forest passable has disappeared. They were like snowflakes in the sun, they existed, but soon disappeared completely. Although Zhang Sanyou never took the time and energy to inquire, he believed that even if he inquired, he would not be able to know where those pioneers had gone.
That's why the old stuff never thought of blazing a trail any further: it's too dangerous. If it weren't for being cornered, no one would want to walk nearly 100 kilometers from such a ghost place.
The wounded's convulsions were getting more and more intense, and if there was a big hospital nearby, it might have been a try, but for now, this situation is ...... Being alive only adds to the suffering. The military doctor looked at Zhang Sanyou, there was only silence on his face, he didn't say anything, and he didn't seem to be doing anything.
So he drew his pistol from his body and aimed it at the wounded man's head. Before firing the last shot, he glanced at Zhang Sanyou again.
The latter's gaze was still fixed on the wounded's face, looking at the face that was convulsed and twisted by pain, as if he had not noticed anything around him.
A gunshot rang out.
"Well, sir," asked a soldier next to him. "Do you want to send someone to bring his body back?"
Judging by the look on his face, he must have really wanted to get this task, which can be said to be quite cumbersome.
"The old thing entered this place, and the chances of escaping alive are less than one percent," Zhang Sanyou said, looking at the dead on the ground. "And, even if he dies here, I'm afraid we won't find the body. Let's go back. ”
……
"Actually, it's not that hard to walk. Thomas said as he walked.
I've been walking in this ghost place for three days, but this foreigner still has the spirit to say this kind of, which is enough to show that the environment is not too bad.
In fact, it is. Although the veteran was always worried about the pursuers behind him, there were no incidents. Thomas was a little nervous on the first day, but by the second day, he was used to it. This kind of ghost place is too easy to hide and too easy to hide. To put it mildly, if four people find a corner to hide, ten thousand people may not be able to find it. Not to mention that there is still a considerable amount of water in between, and even if the pursuers have dogs, it is difficult to chase them along the scent.
It is said to be a dangerous primeval forest, but in fact a group of people are not in any danger. In fact, it is almost the same as normal outdoor travel, the only thing is the terrain. This forest is probably very humid because of the dense woods that make it difficult for water to evaporate, and there is a lot of standing water, so much so that it is not so much a forest as it is actually a complex terrain of mountains and swamps. Almost all the valleys or low-lying areas have accumulated a lot of water and are difficult to navigate.
Thomas likes the mountain trail best - it's a tricky climb, but at least you don't have to put your foot in the rancid leaves. Walking on that terrain, there is a strong feeling of being bottomless. And in the mountains and forests, the trees will be significantly smaller, and there are even a few places where people can get sunlight.
Luckily, there was no danger in the mountains or in the swamp – Thomas's fear was of encountering crocodiles, but at least they didn't encounter any crocodiles along the way. Not to mention crocodiles, not even the wild boar, arguably the most widespread animal in the world, has never been seen.
They were hit by a heavy rainstorm the next day (which is common in this place), and it was the biggest trouble God gave them during the whole trip. They were in a mountainous area, and they couldn't even find a place to hide from the rain.
Although modern people living in cities feel that it doesn't matter if they get a rain. In many cities, it is normal for the sudden heavy rain to fill the whole city with "soup chicken", and there are no other adverse consequences except for taking a shower and changing clothes. But that is based on the premise of improving various living facilities and medical services. In fact, rain, colds, pneumonia and death have an immediate and intimate relationship with each other. In a deserted place far away from the city, even a strong man is often killed by a cold.
The group of them was going to go through a dangerous test of physique, but Lu Wu actually carried a tent with him. A tent protected from rain and moisture, yet large enough to accommodate four men. So the trouble caused by this god was solved so gently and skillfully.
Overall, although the road is often muddy, it is generally okay, not to mention difficult and dangerous, and even if you happen to encounter impassable terrain, you will quickly find a way to get around. After all, someone has ever crossed through here.
The veteran played a big part in this, and it was he who found the road signs left by the original team that crossed the forest—the road signs were not complicated, because the people who left the signs were for their own convenience, so it was impossible and would not hide those secret codes for way in a place where no one else could find them.
Whenever they find that there is no way forward, or that they don't know what to do with multiple options, veterans go to the marks left by their predecessors. It's not a difficult task, you can find it by looking around, anyway, these marks are either on trees, stones, or even a combination of stones in an open field.
Another piece of good fortune is the problem of food and water. The problem of water was relatively good, and they used the method provided by the veterans to squeeze the juice out of some leaves and drink it - it was not very tasty, but at least it quenched their thirst. The problem of food is a different way: the previous small patrol unit that had been destroyed gave a few people adequate rations. True, the amount of dry food (compressed biscuits) that those people carried with them was limited, but after all, it was a ration for a dozen people for a day or two, and for four people for five or six days, which was barely enough. And Lu Wu also carried some compressed biscuits that I don't know where they were produced.
It was the strangest food Thomas had ever eaten.
Of course, it is not delicious, its texture can only be said to be plain, and the taste can only be said to be slightly salty. In order to eat better, Lu Wu soaked it in water more than once and ate it as a paste. But the problem is that it only needs to be eaten very little to make people feel full.
It's not the kind of satiety that adds a lot of water to the food to create the illusion of fullness. That kind of "fullness", in the face of strenuous physical exercise, will soon be revealed. It's really full.
"Mr. Thomas, we are almost empty-handed. If you bring a load, or a mule or horse, you know it's not a good road. The veteran said.
In the past few days, the hard work has made people's physique level immediate. The veteran was the worst of them all, for on the one hand he was not young, and on the other hand he was wounded—although the injury no longer affected his journey, it was impossible to say that it had no effect. Thomas was still energetic enough to say stupid things, but the veteran had recovered from his original condition. In other words, many times, you have to help small soldiers.
"And it's quite dangerous on the road...... "The veteran squinted at Lu Wu, who was walking at the back of the line. "There's a reason why we're doing so well. ”
Thomas was also puzzled by this.
As the saying goes, distance produces beauty, and in fact distance also produces mystery. If they didn't know anything about each other and had misunderstandings before, then now he felt that Lu Wu was far less mysterious than the veteran said. Well, he's just a human being, no different from the others Thomas met growing up. If there is one thing that characterizes him, it is that he seems to be a little worried, similar to some of the merchants that Thomas has met before who have failed in business and have incurred large debts.
Regardless, the ground beneath their feet had gradually become dry, the trees around them had begun to thin, and everyone knew that they were about to leave this primeval forest.
"I can finally see the gods of the earth," the master said in Lu Wu's ear. "It's just a demigod though. ”
