Chapter 575: Into the Forest of Death
Finally, Dou Zhanlong and his party walked to a forest, stopped, and looked up, the dense woods were endless.
"That's right, it's the Dead Forest." Meng Fu stepped forward, pointed to a sign, and shouted with his mouth open.
"It doesn't look like a normal wood!" Iron Bull's eyes widened, and he looked around.
Dou Zhanlong walked to the sign, looked at it, and doubted: "Don't you think it's strange that someone will deliberately make a sign and put it here?" ”
Tang Bai stepped forward to take a look and said casually: "Maybe it was erected by well-wishers in order to remind passers-by." ”
"You see, the three words 'Death Forest' are neatly handwritten, the style is smooth, and every stroke contains strength. Otherwise, the handwriting would have been worn out long ago. Dou Zhanlong stood in front of the sign, observed carefully, and opened his mouth to analyze.
"In this way, there must be a hidden master in this area, who deliberately doesn't want people to enter the Death Forest." Tang Bai observed and said.
Dou Zhanlong shook his head: "It's not good to say. Let's go in and see. ”
"I'll go first." Tie Niu hurriedly stepped forward, his body was crooked, deliberately collided with Meng Fu, "snorted", and jumped into the woods.
Meng Fu clenched his hands into fists, raised his eyebrows, raised his eyes and glared at Tie Niu, and jumped down as well.
Dou Zhanlong and Tang Bai stepped forward and one after the other, their feet touched the ground, their arms waved, and they fell gently.
"Oh, my mother!" As soon as Tie Niu landed, his face turned red, his body trembled, and he opened his mouth to wail.
"What's wrong? Dou Zhanlong and Tang Bai hurriedly stepped forward to check, and laughed out loud.
Tie Niu sweated on his forehead, landed on his left foot, bent his right leg, stared wide, and said, "Why don't you hurry up and help?" ”
As he spoke, Tang Bai's eyes widened, he bent down, stretched out his hands, and pulled hard, "click", making a crisp sound of metal breaking.
"Nima! Isn't this the Death Forest? How can anyone still put a mouse trap? Tie Niu's face turned pale, his eyebrows were raised, and he cursed.
Dou Zhanlong stepped forward, picked up the clip, put it in his hand, looked at it, and his face changed greatly: "It's not good, the clip is poisonous!" ”
"What?!" Suddenly, Tang Bai and Meng Wei opened their mouths in surprise and stepped forward to check.
"Why did I suddenly feel dizzy?" Iron Bull's body trembled, his lips turned purple, his eyes turned yellow, and he almost fell.
Seeing the situation, Meng Fu stepped forward suddenly, hugged the iron bull, put it in his arms, and slowly flattened it. Then, with both hands, he tore open the hem of Tie Niu's trousers, frowned, examined the wound, and said, "The wound has begun to fester!" ”
Dou Zhanlong's eyes were shocked, and he sighed in his heart that the person who poisoned him was so vicious, he must have deliberately set it up at the import.
"What now?" Tang Bai's eyes were stunned, and he looked at Tie Niu blankly: "You must not be sleepy now!" ”
Tie Niu's eyes were glazed, one by one, his lips were chapped and purple, his forehead was covered with fine sweat, his mouth was open and panting, and he said in a weak voice: "I won't die like this, right?" ”
Dou Zhanlong concentrated his strength, mobilized his true qi, concentrated it on his hand, and grabbed Tie Niu's ankle hard, trying to squeeze out the poisonous blood.
He held his breath, widened his eyes, increased the strength of the true qi in his hand, and squeezed and pressed, only squeezing out a little bit of black blood.
Suddenly, Tie Niu's head tilted, his eyes closed, and he passed out.
Dou Zhanlong's eyes were shocked, he reached out to hold Tie Niu's wrist, touched his pulse, frowned, and said: "Tie Niu's injury is not light, if you don't detoxify it in time, I'm afraid you will have to worry about your life." ”
As soon as Dou Zhanlong's words fell, Meng Wei suddenly lowered his head, opened his mouth to hold Tie Niu's wound, pursed his mouth, sucked hard, and spit out a mouthful of black blood.
"You'll be poisoned." Dou Zhanlong and Tang Bai glanced at each other, their faces embarrassed.
The black mist in the heart of Meng Fu's eyebrows moved, his eyes were slightly closed, his hands squeezed the wound, and his mouth sucked hard, five or six times in a row, and finally let go of his mouth and collapsed to the ground, with black blood still remaining on his lips.
At this time, Tie Niu opened his eyes slightly, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
"Big brother, you use a knife to dig up all the meat on the outside of him now, and you'll be fine." Meng Fu opened his mouth and gasped, and said exhaustedly.
"I'll do it." Tang Bai walked up, grabbed it, took out the Tang knife, turned his head to look at Tie Niu, and said with a stern expression: "You just bear with it." ”
After speaking, Tang Bai concentrated, lowered his head slightly, opened his eyes wide, picked up the Tang knife with one hand, grabbed Tie Niu's ankle with the other, his teeth were slightly exposed, he bit his lip, fell suddenly, and cut a long mouth.
"Ah...... Hurt! Tie Niu's body tensed, his legs stretched, his face turned pale, and his eyes were closed.
Tang Bai held his breath, cautiously waved the Tang knife, and cut off the necrotic part of the iron ox's ankle.
"Big brother, do you see the grass under that tree?" Meng Fu pointed to the weeds under a big tree not far away and said, "Put it in your mouth and chew it, and apply it to the wound to reduce inflammation and stop bleeding." ”
When Tang Bai and Dou Zhanlong heard this, they all frowned, and said in disbelief: "Are you sure?" ”
Meng Fu panted, barely showed a smile, and said, "Trust me." When I was a child, I often went up the mountain with my mother to dig herbs, what weeds are, what herbs are, and I would not be wrong. ”
Tang Bai hesitated a little and didn't move for a long time.
"Just listen to him." Tie Niu came to his senses, said weakly, and turned his head to look at Meng Fu, his eyes softened a lot.
After solving the matter of Tie Niu, the sky gradually darkened, and Dou Zhanlong decided to temporarily station: "It's getting late now, the situation ahead is unknown, Tie Niu is injured, take a night's rest for the time being, and set off tomorrow." ”
"Okay!" Tang Bai and Meng Yu nodded in agreement.
The woods in the middle of the night were exceptionally cold, and the iron bull was poisoned and injured, and his body curled up and shivered.
"Put on this dress." With a burly figure and strong muscles, Meng Fu took off his coat and covered it over the iron bull.
Tie Niu looked at Meng Fu with some embarrassment, hesitated for a long time, said with difficulty, and said, "I thank you for today's matter." ”
Meng Fu was stunned, looked at Tie Niu blankly, raised the corners of his mouth, waved his hand and said, "No." ”
"Mengfu, you are really bold enough to take drugs with your mouth? Aren't you afraid of being poisoned? Tang Bai was impressed by Meng Fu and had doubts.
"I'm also in a hurry, but fortunately, everyone is fine." Meng Fu patted his chest and said energetically.
Dou Zhanlong had a solemn face, the more Meng Fu was fine, the stronger his ability to resist poison was, indicating that the black true qi in his body was getting stronger and stronger, and he couldn't help but worry.
"Iron Bull is injured, let's find a way to send it back tomorrow." Dou Zhanlong said.
"I can do it." When Tie Niu heard this, he was immediately anxious, and he was unwilling.
"I'm sorry for you!" Tang Bai pushed the iron bull with his hand.
The next day, the first ray of sunlight penetrated the woods, and Dou Zhanlong and the others got up and prepared to send the iron bull away, but they unexpectedly found that they couldn't find an exit at all.
"Strange! Yesterday we jumped from here, so why couldn't we find an exit overnight? Meng Fu's eyes were panicked, and he looked around.
"Look, the big tree that was here yesterday seems to be gone!" Tang Bai's face was shocked, and he said with wide eyes.
Dou Zhanlong looked around, and sure enough, the layout of the woods had changed unconsciously, and he opened his mouth to appease everyone's feelings, saying, "Don't panic, everyone. This should be someone who has set up a maze and deliberately misled our vision. ”
Dou Zhanlong looked up as he walked, and suddenly remembered the Five Elements Forest, and suddenly realized in his heart that in fact, the pattern of the forest had not changed, but people's vision was lost.
"What are we going to do now?" Iron Bull endured the pain in his leg and stood up, his face anxious.
"Sit down!" Dou Zhanlong suddenly retreated to the same place, sat cross-legged, took a deep breath, and said, "Everyone sit in place and don't move." Close your eyes, take your luck, concentrate, and never open your eyes. ”
Dou Zhanlong clearly knew that this was a trick used by the masters of the forest to deal with foreign invaders. The purpose is to confuse the intruder's sight and trance its spirit.
Once they fall into a maze, they will be dizzy, dazzled, have a mental breakdown, break through their psychological defenses, and eventually die themselves.
Tang Bai and Tie Niu, lined up, sat on the ground, their eyes closed, their lips pursed, their hands folded, their breath sank into the dantian, they inhaled lightly and exhaled, and their chests rose and fell.
I don't know how long it took, but Dou Zhanlong and his party always maintained a state of meditation, as if they were isolated from the outside world.
Suddenly, a biting cool breeze "whoosh" hit, and everyone couldn't help but shiver.
Dou Zhanlong slowly opened his eyes, and suddenly, his eyes lit up, his vision was broad, and the originally crowded and chaotic woods became neat and tidy in an instant.
What made Dou Zhanlong even more strange was that all the trees were consciously lined up in two rows, leaving a wide path in the middle.
"Wow, this is another world!" Iron Bull opened his eyes, his mouth wide open in surprise, and his eyes widened.
Tang Bai got up, spun around, stunned, frowned slightly, stretched out his hand and pointed to the path and asked, "What's going on with this road?" ”
Dou Zhanlong's face was solemn, his eyes were deep, and he said, "This must have been deliberately opened to lure us in." ”
"Shall we go in then?" Meng Fu sneezed, opened his eyes and looked ahead, touched his scalp, tilted his head and asked.
"Now, do we have any other choice?" The corners of Dou Zhanlong's mouth twitched, revealing a sly smile.
The others looked around and found that there were trees everywhere, and there was no way out at all, so they simply walked into the path with a hard scalp.
"How do I feel like I'm being manipulated?" Iron Bull limped, his face full of displeasure.
"Forget it, who let us be on someone else's territory?" Tang Bai shook his head helplessly and sighed secretly.
Dou Zhanlong was silent all the way, his eyes staring straight ahead.
"Not good, there are traps!" Suddenly, Dou Zhanlong stopped, hurriedly waved his hand, and motioned for everyone to stop.
"Bang dang", an iron cage fell from the air, Dou Zhanlong was agile and reacted quickly, and hurriedly stood on tiptoe, jumped backwards, avoided the iron cage, and couldn't help but gasp.
"I'll go, this place is just full of mechanisms." Meng Fu couldn't help but complain.
"Everyone cheered up and was vigilant." Dou Zhanlong took a deep breath and said roughly.
As soon as the words fell, he heard a "whooshing" sound in the distance, Dou Zhanlong's eyes were slightly closed, his ears trembled, and he said loudly: "Hurry up and lie down." ”
Then, Dou Zhanlong bent his knees, pressed his body down, stretched his arms out, and lay straight on the ground.
It was too late, but it was fast, and the homemade thorns, like darts, shot at a very fast speed.
Meng Fu's center of gravity was unstable and he almost won the bid. He frowned, his eyebrows darkened, and he was on one side of his body, dodging a mark. Then, Meng Fu kicked the ground suddenly, his legs went up hard, his arms swung up, his body soared, his feet stepped on thorns, and he flew forward.
Tang Bai's iron bull body was tightly attached to the ground, his eyes widened, and he looked at Meng Fu who stood up in a panic, dumbfounded, and speechless for a long time.
