Chapter Forty-Eight: The Jungle Is Deep

Sun Cheng walked to the trunk of a tree that seemed to be made up of many vines, took out a knife and scraped off its gray skin, then scraped the pale yellow bark into shavings, picked a leaf and put it in it, and handed it to Li Kai and them to eat. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It can help you treat mosquito-borne malaria." Sun Tong said.

"There's quinine in there?" Li Kai asked as he picked up a piece of bark. He knew that quinine was used to treat malaria.

"That's right."

Li Kai stuffed the bark into his mouth, bitter and bitter, but thinking of its effect, he still chewed it a few times and swallowed it. Simon also picked up some and ate them. Ansu had never been bitten by a mosquito and gave them all to eat. Sun Cheng took a knife and scraped some more, wrapped it in leaves, and hid it in a cloak.

While they were busy, Ansu's eyes caught a glimpse of several vines that looked like water vines, twisted together like the tentacles of an octopus. Ansu walked over and slashed at a vine, then another on it, and to her surprise, no water came out. Wisps of white smoke came out of the incision, and at first glance it looked like the entire vine was burning.

Ansu cautiously took two steps back. After Sun Cheng finished collecting the bark, he turned around and saw the smoking vine, and his eyes lit up. "It's smoke vines, which smoke when cut down, and these smoke have hallucinogenic properties. But these are too small to pose any threat to us. ”

"Does it work for mosquitoes?" Li Kai asked. He was disgusted with the mosquitoes in the jungle, and although they did not dare to bite him so violently after being coated with the juice of the green fruit, the buzzing sound around his ears still annoyed him.

"It worked. But burn a lot. Sun Tong said.

They paused for a moment and continued to walk on, the vines in front of them were different, they were like an elongated, twisted iron plate, unlike the other vines that were cylindrical, it was flat. There are uneven vertical lines on the body. They hang down from the tall trees, twist on the ground, and walk in like walking into a forest of steel. Ansu knocked and there was a bang.

"This is iron rattan, which is very hard." Sun Tong said. Ansu nodded, these steel-like vines are good for building fortifications, but only if they can be cut down.

However, although these vines are the thick vines, there are clusters of small yellow flowers like lily of the valley, like newborn yellow chicks. The contrast between strong and weak, but with a strange beauty.

Passing through the iron vine forest, there is a slope occupied by vines and plants with leaves that resemble the leaves of palm trees. Ansu was glad to see that there were more plants on the ground, and they were no longer covered by dead branches and leaves. Only this time it's the alien palms that aren't friendly, with spikes on their petioles and stems. Although it is not as long as the five or six centimeters that grow on the vines seen before, it can also cause harm to reckless animals.

Simon grabbed his hair, there was no machete, and it was not easy to get out of the way.

Ansu stepped back and climbed a vine to take a look, fortunately there are not many of these alien palm trees, they can walk over, but it is estimated that there will be a little trouble. Because the thorny leaves have peeled off on the ground around them, and the leaves have rotted, and the thorns are still there. If you walk barefoot like this, you will definitely get pierced with holes all over the soles of your feet.

An Su looked at the peeling palm leaves and thought for a while, and asked Sun Yan, "Is this plant poisonous?" ”

"Nope."

Ansu stepped forward cautiously and dragged back a palm leaf, which was longer than a normal human, and the petiole was almost as thick as a human forearm, but it grew wider and wider the more it reached the base, and finally it was as big as a stem, after all, the leaf was peeled from the stem, like a bamboo shoot. Ansu sliced the thorn off, measured its broad base with her hands, cut off a part of it, and trimmed it with a knife into the shape of the sole.

"I'll see if I can make a pair of shoes." Ansu said that the simplest thing is flip-flops. Ansu tore a few strips of leather from the petioles, which had been dried up but were still tough, and threaded them through the holes dug out with knives in the soles of his shoes, dressed as a "human" character.

Ansu tugged at the herringbone strap and finally slipped her foot in. Although the construction is a little rougher, you can isolate your feet from the ground, so you don't have to worry about getting punctured.

Ansu wore this pair of special flip-flops and dragged a few leaves back, and Simon and the others made a pair of each according to Ansu's method. By the time they were all done, Ansu had cleared a path to come out. The fracture of the palm leaf is clean and neat, and it can be seen that Ansu is fast and powerful. The severed palm leaf was pushed to both sides by Ansu holding down the thornless upper part.

The four of them walked smoothly through the palm leaf forest and continued on their way. They had barely eaten much since eating a few fruits and drinking some water in the morning, and now that it was past midday and the light above their heads was fading, it was time to find food and build shelter. The most important thing is to stay hydrated. After descending the slope is a ravine with dense vegetation. Shredded sunlight shines down from the canopy of the trees, making it look vibrant.

They decided to search the area to see if they could find food. Ansul searched the places where the roots of the trees were enclosed and some caves. These shady places are usually home to insects, snakes, frogs, etc. However, you should not rush into it, as there may be a poisonous snake or other poisonous insect hiding inside.

Ansu picked open the rotten leaves with a spear, and a thumb-sized millipede crawled out from under the rotten leaves, it was not like the brown and gold on the earth, but blue and red, the color was very gorgeous, but this guy may be more poisonous than the one on the earth. Ansu carefully put the rotten leaf back.

She then searched the caverns made of dirt, this time trying to control the range of her psychic search, rather than reaching the maximum range all at once, which would have caused her psychic power to drain more quickly.

The spiritual power penetrated the thick layer of mud, and the animals hidden in the cave were delicately revealed, centipedes, scorpions, snakes, frogs, crickets, ...... all presented in her mind. Finally, Ansu stopped in front of a hole. She plucked the grass from the entrance of the cave, then broke a branch and made a simple long hook, and went into the hole, where there was a snake about three fingers thick brown. After An Su could "see" the hook poking in, the snake assumed a posture ready to attack, and the branch moved violently, and it was the snake that attacked. Ansu ignored its attack, hooked its body with a hook and adjusted its direction, hooked its tail out first, and then grabbed its tail with her hand and dragged the entire snake out.
