Chapter 31: Mystic Forest
Suddenly, with an exclamation, Lin Xiao watched Xu Liang in front of him sink into a puddle of black mud with one foot, his body tilted, and slowly sank down. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
"Help, help me!"
Ergou and Lao Hei, who came with him, looked at him with a frightened face, their bodies did not move, they turned to look at Lin Xiao and the others and said, ", Xu Liang is finished, he stepped on the corpse swallowing pool." ”
"What do you mean by Corpse Swallowing Pool?"
"This, I can't say a word or two, anyway, once a person steps into it, it will be swallowed in a few minutes, and he won't survive. Xu Liang is finished! ”
Lin Xiao looked at Xu Liang's sinking body and frowned, "Elder Xuan, drag him up." ”
"Yes, master."
Xuanzimo got Lin Xiao's order, and with a "whoosh", he didn't know where to pull out a piece of gilded smooth rope, and instantly rushed to half of his body Xu Liang, who had already fallen into the mud, wrapped around his waist with a "poof" and pulled it back.
With a "bang", the person fell heavily at Lin Xiao's feet.
Ergouzi and Lao Hei's eyes widened in confusion, and their mouths became a circle, and it took a long time to recover.
"Xu Liang, you, your TMD life is really big."
Xu Liang glanced at the two of them coldly, looked at Lin Xiao and the others sincerely, and as soon as he grasped Xuan Zimo's hand, his eyes were already red.
"I won't say anything else, thank you, thank you for saving me."
Lin Xiao nodded.
The Corpse Swallowing Pond, also known as the Muddy Lost Pool, looks like it is connected with the grass orange on the surface, but the soil below is loose, once a person steps into it, the more he struggles and sinks, the faster he sinks, so people are used to calling it: Corpse Swallowing Pond.
Generally, people who accidentally step into the corpse swallowing pool, nine times out of ten, they can't survive, first, there is no tool to pull people up quickly, the speed of its swallowing is extremely fast, and it will be a few minutes before people will be gone, if this person is not calm and keeps struggling, then the speed of sinking increases exponentially, this is to meet Lin Xiao and the two, if it is someone else, it is impossible to save it.
"Xu Liang!" The second dog barked.
Xu Liangzheng didn't glance at the two of them, turned around and walked forward, and said to Lin Xiao as he walked: "Thank you for your kindness, I know that you are going to the innermost part of the no-man's land, I promise you, even if you encounter great danger, I will send you to the place." ”
Seeing that Xu Liang was so indifferent to them, Ergouzi and Lao Hei were also panicked in their hearts, and muttered in a very unhappy whisper, "What are you pretending, if the two of us fall into the corpse swallowing pool, you won't save us either." ”
Although the voice was not loud, it was just enough for Lin Xiao in front of him to hear it clearly, Lin Xiao glanced at Xu Liang, and saw that his face was a little paler than just now, and continued to Lin Xiao with a little unnaturalness: "Don't worry, I will definitely say it this time, and I will do it, although I have not been to this Shennongjia, but the general situation has been told many times by the partners who have been there, and I recognize the way." ”
Lin Xiao nodded.
After another 2 hours of walking, the grass poles on both sides are not so dense, and in front of it is a lush dense forest, which should be the boundary between the front and middle sections of the no-man's land. Xu Liang stopped, told Lin Xiao and the two to wait a minute, turned around and walked towards Ergouzi and Lao Hei.
Ergouzi and Lao Hei saw that Xu Liang didn't say a word to them all the way, and they walked over here, their bodies tightened, as if they were waiting for Xu Liang's fury like a storm.
"Ergouzi, Lao Hei, this is two thousand yuan, you take it, and your task will be completed when you get here. You're right, if either of you falls into the corpse devouring pool, I used to be without blinking a brow, and I will immediately walk away. But, now I won't. After experiencing life and death, I realized how dangerous it is to take care of each other without life and death brothers in a dangerous place, you shouldn't have followed me in the first place, you go back. ”
After speaking, he stuffed a dozen old man's heads in his hands into the hands of the two, turned around and ran towards Lin Xiao.
The second dog and the old black face looked at each other, looked at the dozen money in their hands, and their eyes were a little sour.
"Lao Hei, what Liangzi said is right, we are all brothers in life and death, we can't be so cold, I can't leave him to go back alone, I want to follow Liangzi." As he spoke, he lifted his heel.
Lao Hei stood in place, not walking, not going, the sky has gradually darkened, now returning, he doesn't dare alone, but follow Xu Liang and Ergouzi forward, he is not very willing, Lao Hei who is embarrassed on both sides hesitates.
Looking at the footsteps of the second dog catching up, Xu Liang didn't say anything, patted him on the shoulder, something shiny flashed in his eyes, and then Lao Hei seemed to have made up his mind, gritted his teeth and ran up.
"Ryoko, I'll go with you too."
Late at night, the five people walked and stopped in the dense forest and finally found a bare hill bag, a few people slowly took out their tents from the bag and set it up, the two dogs and Lao Hei took out a machete and split a bundle of firewood on their shoulders and walked back, just walked a few steps, suddenly stopped, looked back, the dark mountain forest was silent, occasionally there were one or two sounds of birds and beasts, bringing more mystery and horror to this dark mountain forest.
"Old Black, do you feel like there's something behind us?"
The old black heart tightened, and he said with some stumbling: "Don't scare people, there's nothing behind, just move the firewood back and start a fire." ”
Ergouzi and Lao Hei quickly picked up the firewood and ran in the direction of the tent, and finally reached the end, the two of them looked behind them with palpitations, and saw that nothing was coming up, so they put the firewood in the open space with confidence, and lit the firewood with a lighter.
The fire burned more and more, and the red flames illuminated this ten-meter-square hill like the light of life.
I don't know who screamed, "Whew! ”
Seeing the bloodless faces of Ergouzi and Lao Hei, he looked at Lin Xiao in horror, pointed to his back and said, "That, that-"
Lin Xiao was taken aback, with his five senses, he didn't even feel that there was something behind him, which was unreasonable, but Ergouzi's pale face told him with facts that there was indeed something behind him.
Lin Xiao stabilized his mind for a moment, jumped high with a "whoosh", and saw a figure like a civet cat burrowing into the depths of the forest with a "swish", and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Is there really anyone? What will it be? Is it a human or a demon? ”
Lin Xiao wiped the cold sweat on his face, slowly squatted down, and Xuan Zimo on the side looked at the depths of the forest, where there seemed to be a wild beast, waiting for them all the time, waiting to harvest their fresh life.
"Master, what is it?"
"I don't know, but it's certainly not a ghost, because that thing has a body temperature." Lin Xiao tilted his head and carefully recalled that feeling.
Ergouzi and Lao Hei ran up, seeing that Lin Xiao didn't have anything to do, they touched their chests with a little fear, and they both regretted following Xu Liang to the troubled waters this time.
Lin Xiao instructed them a few words, stayed and kept vigil with Xuan Zimo, Xu Liang did not allow it, insisted that they go back to sleep, Lin Xiao was helpless, pulled Xuan Zimo and pretended to go back to the tent, but never closed his eyes.
At 3 o'clock in the middle of the night, Lin Xiao seemed to hear something, and got out of the tent with a "whoosh", and saw Xu Liang napping with exhaustion, leaning against a big tree and getting acquainted.
Lin Xiao didn't wake him up, found him a comfortable sleeping position, and gently draped his clothes on his body. His ears moved slightly, and he heard the sound of "whooshing" and slowly approached, and a pair of green eyes stared coldly at Lin Xiao and the sleeping Xu Liang, as if their arrival disturbed this peaceful forest.
It was a pack of wild wolves, more than a dozen of them.
Slowly surrounded them, with a bloodthirsty light in his eyes, Lin Xiao threw in a few thick wooden branches to burn the flame bigger, and the wolves slowly took a few steps back, without tightening the encirclement any further.
One of the male wolves slowly stepped out, with a pure white mane all over his body, only a wisp of gold on his chest, and he stared at Lin Xiao's eyes, as if he wanted to find a trace of horror and fear in it.
Lin Xiao smiled slightly, and with a "swish" sound, a flaming magic knife appeared from his hand, and made a slashing motion in the direction of the male wolf.
"Hmm", the male wolf seemed to be frightened, or perhaps saw that the magic knife in Lin Xiao's hand was extraordinary, took two steps back, stared at Lin Xiao for a while, turned around and disappeared into the forest, and then, more than a dozen wolves next to him disappeared.
Lin Xiao shook his head helplessly, "When did even these little wolves come to bully me." It seems that I haven't moved my muscles for too long. ”
In the blink of an eye, it was dawn, how did the sleeping people know the thrill of the middle of the night, more than a dozen wild and fierce tigers waited for them for a night, if it weren't for Lin Xiao, they would have pounced on them and bitten their throats.
"I, why did I fall asleep?" Xu Liang opened his eyes, looked at the clothes draped on his body, and cracked his mouth embarrassedly, seeing Lin Xiao setting up a turkey on the fire, which was already steaming hot, and the aroma of meat slowly drifted away, causing a few people who had just come out of the tent to swallow their saliva.
"It smells so good!" Ergouzi sighed, unceremoniously tore off a chicken thigh from the fire rack and put it in his mouth to chew, chewing and muttering that he didn't expect your support to be so good, I don't think you should be that researcher, just open a barbecue restaurant, it will definitely be hot.
"Puff" Yile, Xuan Zimo looked at the face of the oil and twist that Ergouzi ate, and whispered closer to Lin Xiao and said: "Brother Black Tiger's restaurant has been opened, and the business is not bad, he said that he feels that there are a lot of people coming to Xihai recently, and there are many strangely dressed people walking around, so let's be careful." ”
"Hmm!" Lin Xiao nodded, straightened up and looked into the distance, something seemed to be beckoning him from the depths of the dense forest, causing him to jump.
"Have you eaten enough? After we had eaten, we began to set up camp on the road, the road ahead was not easy to walk, and we had to set up camp everywhere before dark. ”
Lin Xiao and the others cleaned up and embarked on the journey to find Liu Bai again.
