Chapter 172: Blurred in the Cloud Forest
Xing Shisan finally put his mind at ease, he put down Cangyue, took a military flashlight to observe the surrounding vegetation, and nodded secretly, this should have passed the high mountain area and entered the cloud forest, no wonder the temperature was so much higher, and the breathing was much smoother.
Cloud forests are not as cold and hypoxic as high mountains, nor are they as dangerous and unknown as rainforest areas. However, there is a characteristic of cloud forests, which is that it is very easy to get lost.
It may be a day, but you may also be standing still.
Xing 13 once saw such a news: in 1986, a treasure hunting team entered the misty forest to find the gold of the Indonesian Empire, it is said that the last king Yate hid a large amount of gold in the cloud forest of Ecuador, and in the end, the whole group of treasure hunting teams died in that place, and ironically, the descendants found their bodies in less than half a mile away from the camp, which is enough to show the horror of the cloud forest.
It was even more impractical to walk in the cloud forest at night, so they had to rest here for the night.
However, in the sound of the rain all around, under the dense forest, although there was not much rain, the ground was wet, and it seemed extremely difficult to find dry firewood to build a fire.
If there is no firewood temperature at night, it will be difficult for the two of them to get up the next day.
The most important thing is that there is no firewood to start a fire, and if you can find it, there may be hope to light the fire.
If it was Xing Shisan, he could go to the ground and pick up some wet grass and dry it in his body as a down effect, but the cangqi was already thin, and it was already cold in the high mountains.
The rain was steady and did not stop. The surroundings are quiet, and the dense forest has an eerie atmosphere.
The military flashlight, which was originally very bright on land, only shone a few meters in the cloud forest, but despite this, he held Cangyue's hand and had no idea of giving up.
If you keep looking at what is underground, if you ask him what he is looking for? He gives you the answer very quickly.
Xing Shisan looked at the remnants of animal feces on the ground, and finally smiled. According to him, it should be rabbit droppings, and if they are lucky, they may even have a full meal.
According to the dung, the two of them moved slowly through the dense forest, and their efforts paid off, and they really found a few small caves.
He quickly poked his hand in, perhaps in the bright light, the cunning rabbit three holes, and there was no figure running away. However, Xing Shisan did not find nothing, there was a lot of hay in the cave that he needed, which was a lifesaver.
Find enough hay, use your body to block the continuous rain, and look at the dark night, it is definitely impossible to build a shelter to sleep in.
It can only be under a towering tree, sheltering from wind and rain, and can also prevent the erosion of landslides. After all, there are thousand-year-old trees, and even if the landslide comes, there is enough time to escape.
Xing Shisan asked Cangyue to take care of the hay, he also picked up some dead wood next to him, and then opened his backpack, there were not many things in his bag, a scimitar, two feet and three inches long, the blade was extremely thin, but under the swaying flashlight, it exuded a white light.
A few compressed biscuits, but they have begun to rot under the long-term rain. A bottle of water, although there is a lot of rain in the rainforest, but the animal vegetation in the rainforest is extremely toxic, and under the rain wash, there will be no less bacteria.
A flint and steel lighter in the rainforest is not a good option and may soon lose its functionality.
A few magnesium bars, which have nothing to do with the dollar, are very common in military camps because of the extremely low ignition point and extremely high combustion temperature, which is very suitable for blasting, or burning enemy camps.
And now it's the best thing to use to make a fire.
A flame rising in the darkness seems to be the only light in this world, carrying hope and guiding the way.
"Hmm," Xing Shisan shrugged his shoulders and let out a soft snort from his snort.
Cangyue was stunned for a moment, and looked through the firelight, but it was Xing Shisan who put a compressed biscuit and the only bottle of water in her hands.
Don't think he brings too little stuff, sometimes in the rainforest, he brings too much, but he dies faster.
Cangyue also knew the importance of water, after eating a biscuit, she only drank a little bit of water, and when she was about to replace it, a soft voice came from her ear: "Drink!" After drinking a lot of natural water, you can disinfect it. ”
If her body is not replenished with water, I am afraid it will be difficult to cope with it tomorrow.
After half a ring, Xing Shisan put the things in his backpack again.
Cangyue hesitated for a while, moved her mouth and said, "You don't eat or drink"?
"I'm not hungry yet". He replied lightly.
This made Cangyue suddenly think of her deceased mother, who always put something delicious in her bowl every time, but when she asked her mother why she didn't eat it, she could always find a lot of reasons that she didn't like to eat.
At the end of the day, it's love!
Just like Xing Shisan beside her, in the night, in the rainforest, there is a bonfire next to her, and there is a light rain next to her, she suddenly feels that this is also very romantic.
Leaning gently on his shoulder, enjoying the evening breeze in the rainforest, she seemed to feel a little sleepy.
~ "You take off your coat, I'll set it on the fire and roast it". Xing Shisan didn't look at her, but he was adding firewood to the side, and his movements were very light.
Following.
Cangyue woke up from her daze, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a dry coat draped over her body, and her whole body was almost leaning on Xing Shisan, who didn't seem to have moved all night.
However, the campfire next to it was still burning with its life, which meant that he must have moved, and probably hadn't slept all night.
The two looked at each other, and there were many things in them.
The rain has stopped, the wind has stopped.
Xing 13 suddenly broke the silence: "We should set off for breakfast."
Walking in the forest is very difficult.
Moreover, the trees are similar in shape, which is extremely unfavorable for identifying directions.
Xing Shisan suddenly grabbed a handful of vegetation next to him, and when he squeezed it, it was water, and he seemed to have some understanding, as long as he went down, he would definitely be able to find the stream, and where would the stream end up?
The Amazon River, which is in the middle of the rainforest, is where he is going.
Of course, it would be nice to find the plants he wanted in the Cloud Forest.
Here, you can often smell the smell of rotten wood, as if it is rotting in the forest.
"What's that"? Cangyue's exclamation startled Xing Shisan. Quickly grasping a snake in his hand, he exuded a smile and said, "This is a great supplement."
Cangyue turned her face away, not wanting to look at this disgusting thing.
"It's not a snake, it's an earthworm, commonly known as a snake lizard, which lives on food such as insects and spiders." Xing Shisan's knowledge of nearly a month was not made up by his brain, he paused, and then said: "There is abundant rainfall here, the soil is moist, and it is forced to save up on the surface, it is a very nutritious food, but unfortunately the subcutaneous glands contain highly poisonous, so I won't eat it."
With that, he threw it back into the forest.
Holding Cangyue's hand and quietly exerting force, he instructed: "It seems that we have reached the danger zone, we must be careful."
However, before he had gone half a mile, there was a large-scale landslide in front of him, and the entire cliff seemed to have been erased, leaving a scar.
"It's so dangerous", both of them are panting, if they go faster, they are afraid that they will be completely buried in the ground by this landslide.
Recently, a bus carrying 31 passengers was hit by a massive landslide along a mountain road, which consolidated as soon as it stopped, and the people caught in it had no hope of survival, and all of them died.
So, in the rainforest, there is plenty of rainfall, landslides are common, and you must be careful and careful.
Both of them were in shock, walking forward step by step.
I don't know how long they walked, they only felt hungry in their stomachs, Cangyue pointed to a mushroom in front of her that was about the same height as her and asked, "Can you eat this?"
"This is a highland scale umbrella, don't pass it with your hands, it is extremely poisonous, and there is no cure if you eat it." Xing Shisan said, and couldn't help but do some popular science to her, some beautiful things may be deadly toxins.
Dense vines, making it difficult to see the road in front of you, between the dense trees, suddenly a narrow ditch appeared, probably hundreds of years ago, the result of water erosion on the surface, it seemed to be a highway through the forest, leading to the river, but the riverbed led to a cave.
The cave here is usually a dangerous place, Xing Shisan glanced back, Cangyue nodded, and the tacit understanding between the two is getting better and better now.
In the dark cave, there were some passages that could only accommodate one person, and the two of them cautiously poked in.
However, the smell inside became more and more foul, and Xing Shisan lowered his voice and said, "Slow down your breathing, this gas seems to be poisonous."
In this kind of place. Insects that are prone to biting insects.
If you are interested, you can add a penguin colony: 56601121 discuss it together**********
"Voice"? He seemed to hear a strange sound coming from the depths of the cave, which paused their steps.
In this kind of place, you must always be vigilant, otherwise you will not know how to die.
Cangyue listened to this strange voice, and her body couldn't help but gradually approach the direction of Xing Thirteen, and the cold sweat that Xing Thirteen ran down from her palms could also know that in her heart that was scared at this time, the strength of holding her hand was silently strengthened.
The sound was getting closer, so close that his flashlight could faintly see what was coming from.
"What's that, carving"? Cangyue exclaimed, anyone who saw the dense black flying things in the middle of the cave that were half human-high, in the dark, would always make people's hearts frighten.
"Shhh
The way bats fly is peculiar, they are all oriented by sonar, and the same is true for their attacks.
