Chapter 184: Phantom of the Jungle

Qiu Yan gently untied the wooden stick on his arm, and then used Sanmei to pick open his sleeve, only to see that the skin of his dark wrist was already red and swollen near the broken arm.

Qiu Yan frowned, lowered his head and put the mountain herbs he picked back into his mouth and chewed and crushed them.

"What is this?" Li Mowu looked at the blade of grass that Qiu Yan had not finished chewing in his hand.

"This thing is called discontinuity. Qiu Yan glanced at him, and the medicinal juice in his mouth made the corners of his mouth a little numb, and he said vaguely. "Continuation, also known as the monk's head, is the dried root of the perennial herbaceous plant of the Sichuan intermittent family, named because it can continue to fold the bones, and can replenish the liver and strengthen the muscles and bones, this is a good thing, it can make your broken arm recovery days greatly accelerated, and it is also your luck to find this thing in this barren mountain and wilderness. ”

"I didn't expect that you know a lot at a young age. Li Mowu was speechless, and wanted to say something, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed back.

It didn't take long for Li Mowu to suddenly feel a chill on his arm, and then Qiu Yan smeared a layer of slimy stuff on the wound of his broken arm. After a while, the coolness turned into a fiery sensation again, and I saw Qiu Yan first bandage it with a strip of cloth, and then tie his arms to the two short pieces of wood again.

"Alright. Qiu Yan stood up and continued. "As long as there are no accidents, we will be able to move a little in about seven or eight days, now let's get up and hurry." ”

"Where are we going?"

Qiu Yan groaned and said softly. "I don't know, wait until I can discern the direction and the terrain. ”

"If we don't return the same way, I'm afraid it will be difficult to meet Lu Li and them again in this deep mountain and old forest. ”

"I know that, but I had already surveyed my surroundings in the morning, and when the sun was shining on the shade of the trees, we were almost swept downstream by the rapids, and the river was lined with cliffs on both sides, and it was difficult to walk, and it was impossible to jump into the rapids and go back. ”

Li Mowu was dumbfounded, and at the same time felt that he had just said the wrong thing, if it wasn't for saving himself, maybe he wouldn't have jumped into the river last night. Thinking of this, his cheeks were a little hot, and he subconsciously turned his head away and looked away.

Who knew that when this gaze turned, Li Mowu suddenly saw that behind a dense bush of grass in front of him, there was actually a pair of fierce eyes looking at the two of them from the gap in the weeds, with a hint of viciousness in that look, almost no different from a beast, which made Li Mowu startled, took a step back suddenly, pointed in that direction and said loudly. "Who! Who's over there!"

"What?" Qiu Yan was taken aback, turned around and asked Li Mowu. Li Mowu hurriedly pointed to the grass just now, and said in a low voice: "I saw that there was in the grass just now."

Before the words fell, Li Mowu's voice suddenly stopped, and he looked over there with a hint of astonishment, only to see that the blades of grass in the weeds were still there, but he didn't see the pair of fierce eyes that he had just seen.

Qiu Yan followed the direction that Li Mowu was pointing at, glanced at the grass, frowned slightly, and then walked over.

Li Mowu didn't know why, he was puzzled and felt a little surprised at the same time, and he also followed him, and at the same time kept looking left and right.

The two of them walked to the edge of the weeds, and saw that the weeds were thick, about knee-high, but at the moment the grass was empty, and it was obviously impossible for anyone to hide in it. Qiu Yan pondered for a moment, then broke a branch from the side, and slapped around in the grass around for a while, only to see a few flying insects, but there was still no figure that Li Mowu said.

Qiu Yan looked back at Li Mowu, Li Mowu was stunned for a moment, and he was a little unconfident for a while, thinking to himself, could it be that he was too tired yesterday and his mind is not very clear now? What I saw just now was just an illusion?

Qiu Yan walked back to his side, but didn't say much, just said calmly. "Since it's okay, let's hurry. ”

"Uh... Okay.." Li Mowu replied with some embarrassment.

Qiu Yan nodded, and walked forward, Li Mowu glanced at the grass again, and saw that there was silence around it, as if there was really nothing. It's just that he thought about it carefully, but he remembered that the eyes in the grass were fierce and vicious, and the memory was extremely clear, and he couldn't help but shudder.

After such a delay, Qiu Yan had already walked out of the way, and then he noticed something, and turned around to 'feed' Li Mowu. Li Mowu hurriedly agreed, shook off the inexplicable thought in his mind, and quickly chased after Qiu Yan.

And as the two of them walked away, a light wind suddenly blew from the surface of the river, sweeping through the depths of the silent weeds, and the verdant leaves of the grass trembled like waves, and there was a faint shadow that flickered under the blades of grass in the distance.

Qiu Yan and Li Mowu did not go up the river, but went downstream. Li Mowu found out about this after walking for a while, so he asked Qiu Yan about it with some doubts.

Qiu Yan's answer is also very direct, that is, it is better to go downstream.

If you swim against the current, you will enter several mountain ranges, including the Wandering Mountains, where there are many wild beasts and unknown dangers, which are very troublesome, and even if they find their way back to the camp, it is unlikely that they will return the way they came. Because wolves are very vengeful animals, I am afraid that a large group of vicious wolves are still waiting in that mountain wilderness.

And as long as the direction is correct, you can also go downstream to reach the border of the Hulunbei prairie, although this will be farther and farther away from Xiao Li and his party, but this is also the only way to meet it, and there will be less danger on the road.

Li Mowu actually didn't have too many opinions in the current situation, and after fleeing last night until now, he already trusted this young boy, at least he didn't abandon himself at the moment of crisis. After all, his life was saved by him, and his injuries were healed, even if he wanted to harm him, what he had to do last night would have been done a long time ago.

Therefore, he quickly accepted this reality and honestly followed Qiu Yan downstream.
