Chapter 107: The Poison Forest
Fortunately, Jiang Bin's poisoning is not deep, as long as the poisonous blood around the wound is removed, there will be no threat to his life.
Ye Qi bandaged his wound and asked, "How is it, can you still walk?" ”
"It's not a big deal, although it still hurts a little, but it's absolutely fine to walk a few steps." At this time, Jiang Bin could still squeeze out a 'bright' smile, and it seemed that his wound was basically no big problem. It was also thanks to the fact that this toxin would not paralyze the nerves, otherwise he would not be able to feel the pain in the first place, and then it would be a big trouble.
"Everyone pay more attention to their feet, the grass and trees here are much more lush than before, and there must be a lot of poisonous insects and poisonous snakes hidden, try to prevent them from attacking suddenly." Ye Qi stood up and commanded the crowd.
The team continued to march, this time on guard and beware of the danger under their feet. In this way, the speed is much slower, and it can even be described as a turtle speed.
Sacrificing travel speed in exchange for a higher safety factor, they have avoided six or seven waves of poisonous snakes and poisonous insects along the way. Most of the poisonous stuff is piled up in the weeds and rocks around it, and if anyone comes near them, they will launch a surprise attack. If you don't pay attention, you will definitely fall for it.
"How long is it left?" I don't know how long I walked, Ye Qi asked everyone to stop and rest first, and he came to Marceau's side and asked.
Marceau wiped his sweat casually, gasped for a while, and said, "It's soon, it's only three or four miles, and you can go down this ramp." ”
Three or four miles away, it is only more than a thousand or two thousand meters, although they travel slowly, but at most they can reach it in a dozen minutes.
Ye Qi noticed that everyone was standing and resting, neither sitting on the ground nor looking for a big tree to lean on. These people are very experienced in the jungle, and they know that there are many poisons on the ground and on the edge of the trees, and coupled with what happened to Jiang Bin before, they are even more vigilant about their surroundings.
After repairing in place for a while, the group set off and continued to move forward. The rest of the mile was a very difficult walk, and the poison was so dense that you would encounter a group of people after walking a few steps. The strange thing is that these poisons actually turned a blind eye to everyone, and went in the direction of discovering the meat reishi mushroom.
"Is this how these poisons are?" For such a strange situation, Ye Qi couldn't help but ask.
Marceau pressed his right hand against his chin, and pondered: "It's strange, when our people came last time, although we also encountered a lot of poisons, they definitely didn't come so much this time. And looking at their orderly way of traveling, there must be something strange in it, which may be related to the meat reishi. ”
Ye Qimo nodded his head without hesitation, and it seemed that only this statement was the most reasonable. These poisonous insects and poisonous snakes will have such strange behaviors, it is very likely that they are affected by the meat reishi. The lower animals generally act on instinct, and they should have felt that the meat reishi was beneficial to them, so they would come in groups.
"It's useless to discuss it here, let's talk about it later."
Led by Ye Qi, everyone walked along the place full of reptiles, but the insects completely ignored these outsiders, as if everyone was transparent.
After a short walk, a cave that could only be passed by one person appeared in front of everyone's eyes. All kinds of reptiles from all over the world converge into the cave, and the scene is like a pilgrimage festival.
"What to do? There is so much poison in the cave that we definitely can't enter it at the moment. "When everyone saw such a dense swarm of insects and snakes, they all felt a tingling of scalps. Besides, the cave is only big enough for one person to pass through, and if you go in, you will definitely be crowded with many poisons, and what kind of scene will happen at that time, just imagining it is terrifying.
"Then wait here, and when they're all passed, it's not too late for us to go in." At the moment, this is not the only way to go.
The insect tide was surging, and a large number of known and unknown snakes, insects, rats and ants were burrowing into the cave one by one, as if they were going to fill the entire hole before they would stop.
Ye Qi and the others hid in the low bushes on the side, trying not to disturb these crazy guys, there was no need to make extraneous branches until they found the meat lingzhi.
I don't know how long it was, maybe an hour, maybe a day. Everyone's feet were numb and sore, and the reptiles that came outside gradually became scarce.
At this time, Ye Qi stood up and said, "The army has entered, and it seems that it is time for us to act." ”
When they reached the entrance of the cave, there were only a few small bugs left outside. So they took up their torches and went into the narrow caves one by one. Soma led the way with a machete, followed by Yeki, followed by the others.
The cave is inclined downward at a 30-degree angle, and there are strange rocks inside, and there are natural formations such as stone spears and stone pillars, so it can be inferred that this cave was formed naturally.
"The smell here is really unpleasant, and I almost didn't faint the laborers." Jiang Bin pinched his nose at the back of the team and said.
It may be because a large amount of poison passed by just now, and the air quality here is quite poor, and you can clearly smell the fishy smell coming from it.
"Bear with me, this hole is not very long, it is only more than 400 meters, and we will soon be able to reach the underground." Marceau, who was at the front of the line, said softly.
After enduring the pungent and unpleasant smell, I walked in this narrow hole for five or six minutes before an extremely wide space appeared in front of me. Illuminated by torches, there are patches of columnar or cone-shaped stalactites, and under these stalactites are potholes deposited all year round, and the sound of stone milk dripping into the pools can be heard from time to time.
Out of the narrow hole, Wang Hao suddenly shook his nose and sniffed in the air a few times, and said in surprise: "The position we are out of now should be two hundred meters below the mountain, I didn't expect that there is also air circulation here, it is really not ordinary weird." ”
"It's not surprising that there are several passages throughout the mountain, and it's not surprising that the air can circulate." Marceau, who is most familiar with the place, explained.
"Don't worry about these useless things for now, our first goal is to find the 10,000-year-old meat Lingzhi first." Ye Qi deliberately reminded everyone that this time was not to conduct scientific exploration, but to find medicine to save people.
"This cave is really big, I haven't been able to see the other side after walking for so long." Jiang Bin sighed with infinite novelty, and the torch in his hand shook a few times above his head from time to time, but it caused a large group of bats at the top of the cave to fly away.
Seeing him make such a noise, Marceau couldn't help but scold: "Be quiet, we don't even know much about this place, and no one can save you if there is any danger." ”
Jiang Bin was reprimanded by her like this, and finally lived a lot, and everyone was silent and continued to grope in the darkness with torches. It didn't take long for the guy to exclaim again: "Damn, look at what that is?" ”
In the extreme silence, everyone was startled by the sudden scream.
When Marceau tried to reprimand again, he couldn't say anything more. Because he saw that in front of the firelight, a large group of poisons gathered there, and in the center of that group of poisons was the flesh reishi they had been looking for for a long time.
