Chapter 344: Barren Mountain Forbidden Zone
The pack of wild dogs were all dead, and Culomb had the wounds bandaged, curled up in pain, and told the story of what had happened. Li Qingyun successfully cleared the suspicion, because judging from his appearance, there was nothing suspicious, and those who should be afraid were also afraid, and they also pulled out their guns, also shot, and fled, and were also pounced on by wild dogs, scratching their clothes, but they were lucky and were not bitten and scratched.
Peter dragged the sick body to the scene of the incident to investigate, which is basically consistent with Coulomb's account. He took back the firewood that Culomb had discarded, and when he went back to bring back the wild dog carcasses for food, he was horrified to find that the wild dog carcasses were gone, as if they had been taken by some wild beast, leaving traces of drag on the scene.
Peter was so frightened that he ran back with his shotgun. Along the way, it was quite smooth, and he told everyone what he had experienced. Charlie ordered everyone not to go into the forest alone, because the dry wood is available, and after it is lit, the wet wood can be dried, so that the fire will not be extinguished, and everyone will not have to take any more risks.
Five wild dogs skinned stew, enough for everyone to eat for two days. If it weren't for Cullen's injury, it would have been a happy situation.
After Knell gave Coulomb the injection, he said with a solemn expression: "I have given you an antiviral vaccine, but you have too many wounds on your body, if the wound is inflamed and festering, the medicine we brought will not be able to save you, please God bless." ”
"Damn, why are those wild dogs chasing me and biting that yellow-skinned monkey at all? Coulomb shouted hatefully.
Coulomb's voice was very loud, and Li Qingyun, who was huddled in his tent, seemed to be shocked and did not react.
"Coulomb. Pay attention to the way you speak, Li Qingyun is our guide, in an unfamiliar environment, you must learn to respect the guide, otherwise, you will regret it. Charlie reminded.
"Haha, I may regret it to God, but it won't be this yellow-skinned monkey. By the way, the wild dogs we hit today were all bought with our lives. There is no part of him. He was a coward who trembled at the sight of wild dogs. They will only run away and will not be eligible for the spoils of war. ”
Coulomb smiled, and the wound on his face overflowed red blood from the gauze, which was extremely terrifying.
Li Qingyun sat in the tent. Separated by a layer of cloth. Glancing at him coldly. He has been treated as a dead man. When it comes to the dead, there's no need to worry too much.
A pot of dog meat was stewed, and only salt was added. They didn't prepare other materials, they could smell a fishy smell no matter how far away they were, let alone eating it, smelling it all the time, Li Qingyun felt disgusted.
Except for Coulomb, everyone else found it difficult to swallow, and after a few bites, they couldn't eat it. And Coulomb, with hatred, said that the wild dog had torn a few pieces of his flesh and that he was going to eat it back, and that he had eaten a third of the dog.
It's just that before it gets dark, he vomits and discharges, and no matter what medicine he takes, it doesn't work. Eventually, Cornell cast a faint glow that shrouded Cullen, leaving him half dead from exhaustion, but to no avail.
After tossing all night, by dawn, Coulomb, a once strong man, would swing when he took two steps, his face was sallow, and his eye sockets were deep.
This frightened all the foreigners in the team, and those who had nothing unusual in their stomachs also swallowed the medicine. Charlie thinks that wild dogs have a large number of germs and parasites on their bodies, and may not be cooked too well, after all, they are just a stainless steel pot on firewood, which cannot produce a high-temperature killing effect.
Peter swore that it must have been cooked, and if it wasn't, everyone wouldn't be able to chew it. However, he did not dare to confirm that he had swallowed a large amount of medicine, after all, Coulomb's tragic situation was in front of him.
The patients who had a fever yesterday were basically all cured, but there was another Coulomb in the team who vomited and vomited. Li Qingyun didn't say anything about this, just like a passerby, if you don't give you dog meat, I won't eat it. If you don't want to go, let's continue camping, and I'll sleep in my tent.
Coulomb didn't even have the strength to scold today, his body emitted a foul smell, there were more than a dozen wounds on his body, large and small, the wound healing was very bad, and there were four or five places that overflowed with pale yellow liquid, and the possibility of infection was extremely high.
Charlie took out his satellite phone and dialed a number, not knowing who was communicating. After returning, he consulted Cornell, who agreed to continue on the road and never return. Because Li Qingyun said lightly beside him, the current river has long been overflowing, and the current is several times that of the night before yesterday, and the possibility of safe passage is extremely low.
Coulomb gritted his teeth and said that he could hold on, because the sky flashed with the shadow of the sun, and the weather could be clear. A moment of sunshine gave him the illusion of warmth, and in the process of taking medicine and diarrhea, he forcibly followed the team and walked for a day.
The day had reached the second peak, and turning to the left, was an unknown path full of dead grass, overgrown with thorns, although the snow had been washed away by heavy rain, and the dim sunlight could not reach the decay and darkness of the grass.
To the left is actually to the southeast, the reason why this area is desolate and forbidden is the legend of the older generation, this area belongs to the remains of the snake temple, there are probably two hills shrouded area.
If you can pass along the lì, you should be able to reach the nameless Taoist temple of Rizhao Peak.
But Li Qingyun has never walked this road, although he can occasionally glance at Charlie's satellite positioning map, he feels that if he gets lost, it will be difficult for him to get out of this desolate forbidden area for two months.
Charlie said excitedly, saying that he was already very close to the target, and he should have found it when he climbed over the hill and went to the valley in front.
"Oh, well, you're the captain, I'll listen to you. It's just that before entering this desolate area, can everyone's state be maintained?" Li Qingyun said, looking back at Coulomb, this guy had lost weight several times, his face was not like a normal human, and his eyes were abnormally red.
"Look at what, I'm fine, you're tired, I'm fine. Coulomb was a little irritable now, and when Li Qingyun glanced at him, he was furious, raising the wooden staff in his hand, and wanted to fight with Li Qingyun.
was pulled by Cornell, and then he reluctantly quieted down, panting.
Charlie urged Li Qingyun to lead the way in front and not to be like Coulomb, saying that Coulomb was not very stable because of illness in the past two days.
Not only is it not very stable, but it is even more irritable than a woman to come to the aunt. When you get angry, you avoid the sun and want to shrink your head into your collar.
Li Qingyun said that it was okay, and said that he was used to it, and entered this desolate path. He carried firewood in his small space, but he deliberately didn't take it out, and with a vigorous attitude, he took gold and copper coins and drilled into the thorny mountain road.
The people behind followed in, but they screamed in their mouths, and they were not stabbed in the face. Coulomb, in particular, was so frightened and angry that he swung his cane and whipped the rattan with his wooden staff, almost injuring one of the experts.
"Hey, Mr. Guide, shouldn't you mountain people use a firewood knife to cut down the obstacles on the road when you mountain people open up a deserted road?" asked Youzhuan with a few blood marks on his face, a little annoyed.
Li Qingyun turned around and replied solemnly: "Before entering the mountain, didn't you say that you were going to enter the barren mountain where there was no road? We have advanced to the mountain many times, and it was on the main road that people often pass by. If I knew you were going to this damn place, I wouldn't have killed me. ”
"Oh, what's the point of saying this, it's dangerous here?" asked Charlie, uneasy.
"I don't know, anyway, the old hunters in the village don't go into these mountains. But I'm also quite strange, you don't look for an old hunter to lead the way, why do you let me, a young man who has not been into the mountains many times, be my guide?" asked Li Qingyun.
"It's very simple, one is that you know the place where the solar meteorite has been found, and the other is that we have the relevant equipment, as long as we find a local to guide the general route, you don't need to be familiar with the qiē in the mountains. Charlie replied with some insincerity.
Peter, who is good at hands-on people, is not scheming, walked for a while, and suddenly asked: "Mr. guide, I heard that there is an abandoned temple near here, and you locals say that it is very dangerous, is there such a thing?"
When Li Qingyun heard this, he instantly understood that this group of people might have invited the old hunter a long time ago, but they were refused, and they couldn't threaten ordinary hunters, so they had to let their half-bottle of vinegar be their guide. And the unclear relationship between himself and Michelle is also one of the reasons why they can threaten themselves.
"It's a legend a long time ago, and I don't really believe in young people who still believe in gods and ghosts, but I don't want to take this risk. If I hadn't been forced to do anything this time, I wouldn't have wanted to try. Li Qingyun said casually.
Professor Andrew said suddenly: "As far as I know, the locals say that there is a snake temple in the valley ahead, and there are many big snakes in it, and it is not a simple spirit totem, right?"
"Hehe, where did the snake come from on a snowy day, if it was after being stung, it was really uncertain. After all, there are too many snakes nearby, and even if it is a normal mountain road, it is possible to be ambushed by poisonous snakes. ”
Li Qingyun was talking when he suddenly heard the gold and copper coins shouting in front of him. Through the barren grass and dead vines, I couldn't see clearly, and I went around a few times before I walked behind the big tree more than ten meters away.
The gold and copper coins were calling around the fresh skeleton of an animal, and the blood on the ground was not yet dry, presumably in the last few hours.
The skeleton was small, only sixty or seventy centimeters long, with some brown and yellow hairs scattered around it, and a pair of small tan horns attached to the torn fur.
This skeleton is supposed to be of a muntjac, and it is the first time I have seen this animal a long time ago, and it is the first time I have seen its bones. Andrew and several experts stepped forward and took a few photos to prevent Li Qingyun from getting closer.
"Oh, it looks like we're in a bit of trouble, this poor fawn has been dismembered by a pack of wild beasts, and if you look at the bite marks around it, it should be a big guy, not a wild dog or a wolf or something. Look at the fawn's head, it seems to have been smashed by a huge force......"
Several experts took great pains to analyze the scene of the murder, Li Qingyun pouted speechlessly, analyzing your sister, didn't you see a few black bear hairs left on the bark, and there were a few clear bear paw prints left in the dirt next to the stone a few meters away, and you can see it by walking a few steps forward.
