Volume 2 Survival in the Forbidden Land Chapter 67 Deep Mountains and Swamps
Ordinary days are played out every day.
Hurry, find water, hurry, sleep. As long as they don't encounter danger, for them, every day is actually the same, peaceful and beautiful. But in a comfortable environment, people's spirit, which has been tense, may slacken. Because not everyone can be vigilant all the time, and they can prevent danger in advance.
"It feels good here, it's cooler all of a sudden. Wang Qingyun is still dressed in that bohemian outfit.
At this time, they passed through a forest, and for them in the very heat, it was as if they had suddenly entered a cool place, which was very refreshing.
"Hmm!" Wang Qingyun took a deep breath. The smell hasn't changed much, and after staying in the forest for a long time, it's nothing more than that unique smell of earthy and grassy mixture. At first, I felt refreshed and relaxed, but over time I got used to it and felt nothing else.
When you enter here, you can obviously feel that the temperature has dropped a lot, and it is a good place to cool off. But it was still early in the morning, and there was no rest. But I don't think it's possible to pass through here tonight, so it's nice to be able to rest here.
"After a while, you can find a good place to rest, so that everyone can rest in peace. Ling Chen thought to himself.
The hot weather is indeed very tormenting people's will, and everyone can no longer stand it after many days of rushing. And mosquitoes in the jungle are also a big problem, and everyone is already overwhelmed by the time they go to bed at night. The flames only attract more insects, and in such hot weather, roasting is an ordeal.
But they found a plant and grinded it into sap and applied it to their bodies, so that mosquitoes would no longer bother them. While the juice doesn't taste very good, it can at least help them solve a big problem.
Where there is a water source, mosquitoes are the most numerous. Because they lay their eggs in the water, there are far more mosquitoes here than in other places. This knowledge is also the law that they have summed up after being harassed by mosquitoes for several days.
"Let's all look for a suitable place to build a shelter, and let's get some rest tonight. Ling Chen was looking around, already looking for a good place.
Even Ling Chen spoke, it seems that their trip today is over here. They have long developed the habit of division of labor and cooperation, and after each day of the rush, they will complete their own work. For example, picking up wood, leaves, cleaning, inquiring and so on.
"Hey, there are so many mosquitoes. Wang Qingyu slapped several people to death one after another, pouting with disgust.
"This kind of mosquito likes to drink the blood of the fine skin and tender flesh the most. You see, someone like me with thick skin won't even look at me. Therefore, no matter what the characteristics, there is always its shining point. yes, dust. "Wang Qingyun is chopping down a small tree with a sword, which is used to build the framework of the shelter.
"It's the first time I've heard of someone talking about rough skin and thick flesh as a virtue. Ling was cutting branches on the side, all of them were looking for dense leaves and slender branches.
"I think Ling is right. Ling Chen looked back and forth between the two trees and felt that this place was indeed good. He didn't look in the direction of Wang Qingyun, but just replied while doing something.
"But then again, isn't Xu's head also thin and tender? Why didn't I see any mosquitoes bite him? Wang Qingyun asked with a little confusion.
Because for so many days, everyone has been annoyed by mosquitoes, but Xu Ziqing feels that it doesn't matter, and he can't feel this kind of trouble.
"People are called polite and scholarly. You don't understand. Wang Qingyu said disdainfully.
"Maybe Shaoqing is just because he is weak, so he doesn't even want mosquitoes to patronize me. ”
Xu Ziqing smiled faintly, although he was very reluctant to hear the word Xu Bighead, but Wang Qingyun was used to calling it like this, and what Xu Ziqing said was equivalent to saying it in vain.
"Probably because I don't take a shower. Ling Chen continued to interject casually on the side.
"Hahahaha!"
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and now even Ling Chen has learned to tease people.
"Alas. Xu Ziqing sighed and muttered helplessly: "Even Brother Chen has learned badly." ”
Wang Qingyun touched his face that was gradually losing weight and said, "But I feel that I have become thinner, and I have also become darker." ”
In this kind of environment, I can't even eat enough every day, basically I don't have a meal, and it's no wonder that I can eat fat. However, after the last sunburn, after treatment, although Wang Qingyun's face was cured, it was very easy to get sunburned, so that he now looks dark.
"But you've also gotten stronger. Ling Chen said on the side.
"Yes? But I think so too. Feeling that Ling Chen was praising him, Wang Qingyun couldn't help but be complacent.
With everyone's help, the efficiency is obviously much faster. After a while, a simple but very simple camp appeared in front of everyone. At this time, there is still a ray of residual sun in the sky, and it will be dark soon.
"Sister Yuanru, why haven't they come back yet?" asked Wang Qingyu.
Before setting up the camp, Ning Yuanru and Ling discussed going around the camp, although it was a bit risky, Ling Chen did not stop them. In case a girl wants to talk about some intimate topics, it is not good for him to intervene like this.
But it's been some time now, and it's going to be dark soon. If it had been normal, they would have come back a long time ago. If Wang Qingyu is playful, Ling Chen will think that it is quite reasonable, but they are not ignorant people, and they think that something happened.
Ling Chen immediately greeted everyone and hurriedly chased in the direction where the two were walking before. This place is overgrown with weeds, and the two of them did not deliberately hide their traces, and it is very easy to search all the way from here according to the map.
The sun was about to set, and they had to pick up their pace. Otherwise, when it gets dark, everything will be extremely difficult.
I hope they were only delayed because of some things, Ling Chen could only think of this in his heart. It's been a long time since it was calm, so at this time, Ling Chen didn't want any accidents to happen to his partners. Anxious in his heart, Ling Chen used his spiritual power to move his feet, and his speed suddenly increased by a few points.
The speed of others can't keep up with Ling Chen, so Ling Chen takes the lead. While keeping an eye out for all kinds of marks on the road, I hurried away.
The field of vision ahead widened, the trees became fewer, and the bushes almost obscured the path beneath their feet. Ling Chen didn't say a word, and stepped over in one step.
Ling Chen, who was in mid-air, saw that there were two figures not far in front of him, it was Ning Yuanru and Ling. Their entire bodies sank into the ground, leaving only their upper bodies exposed.
In just an instant, Ling Chen understood, it turned out
Both of them were swept into the swamp.
Ling and Ning Yuanru also saw Ling Chen at the same time, but at this time, Ling Chen's whole person was already in mid-air. Their eyes widened in horror, as if they had anticipated what would happen in the next moment.
The ground under their feet was full of swamps, and Ling and Ning Yuanru had fallen into it because of negligence. If Ling Chen falls like this, he will definitely be swallowed up by the swamp at the first time.
Ling Chen condensed his spiritual power, slapped it out with one palm, and the palm carrying the spiritual power hit the ground directly. The sparse marshland was blasted open in an instant, and muddy water mixed with rotting black soil splattered everywhere. Ling Chen used the recoiling of this force to bounce himself back. Although this hurts oneself, I believe it is worth it compared to losing one's life.
Seeing Ling Chen bounce himself back again, Ning Yuanru couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At this time, their condition is relatively bad, and their bodies are sinking all the time. Although it was relatively slow in comparison, they did not move because the more they moved, the faster they fell.
"Don't go over!"
There was no time to inquire about the situation of the two people opposite, and at this time, Wang Qingyun and his party hurriedly came. They were about to go over, but they were hurriedly stopped by Ling Chen.
Hearing this, the group hurriedly stopped, and the shrub barrier in front of them was indeed easy to confuse people, making people be fooled if they rushed forward without seeing the situation ahead. Ling Chen is like this, just because he was too reckless and almost had a big accident.
"What's wrong?" Wang Qingyun asked.
"Ning Yuanru and the others are in front, but there is a swamp in front of them, and they are trapped inside. Ling Chen said as he brushed aside the bushes in front of him.
Sure enough, the ground is full of loose ** black soil, and there is a place that has been blasted open, which is made by Ling Chen. Further ahead were Ning Yuanru and Ling.
If you step on this kind of place, you will only continue to sink deeper and deeper. The more one struggles, the faster one falls, and the end result is that he is completely engulfed in the swamp, dying slowly in pain and fear.
"Don't panic, we'll come and save you right away!"
Wang Qingyun shouted over there, trying to stabilize the emotions of the two. Turned to look at Ling Chen and said, "Is there any good way?"
Time is pressing, and if you wait until the sun goes down, it will be more and more difficult to rescue the two people due to the obstruction of vision. And the two of them can't stand the delay of time, and after a while, I'm afraid that the whole person will be gone.
"Use vines as nooses and pull them out. Ling Chen said.
This is the most effective and fast method that can be thought of so far, but Wang Qingyun frowned and said, "I don't know if they still have the strength to hold on to the rope and escape." ”
"This method may not work, the body is already trapped in most of it, and it is difficult for them to climb out again. Xu Ziqing also added on the side.
"Then what should I do?" Hearing them say this, Ling Chen also knew that this method might not work. But now that he couldn't think of any other way in a short period of time, Ling Chen couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Time is running out now, and the time they have to negotiate is precious, and they have to race against time to find a way to rescue their partners.
"There you go. Wang Qingyun and Xu Ziqing said in unison.
It seems that both of them have thought of a way, but they don't know what the solution is, and whether there will be disagreements again.
