The forest became denser and denser, and by the end, the surrounding trees and vines had spread all over the mountain, and the off-road vehicles crushed the dense vines, whistling past, and the leaves of the grass and trees were constantly splashing up.

Song Jian shrunk his body and carefully observed this mountain forest. Without an off-road vehicle, trekking through such mountains and forests is simply painful.

"Huh? Out of the way? "The speed of the off-road vehicle slowed down, the forest in front of it was too dense for the off-road vehicle to pass, and the old madman poked his head and looked back and forth, left and right.

"Lost? You're really old," Kong Qixiao also got up and looked at it, "When we came last time, we could drive directly to the Red River mountain stream." ”

"Last time? The last time was thirty-seven years ago, okay! The old madman muttered, "It's been so long that the little trees have grown into big trees." Hey, it's a dirt slope, let's go up and have a look. ”

As he spoke, the old madman stepped on the accelerator, and the off-road vehicle drove towards a sixty-degree dirt slope.

The fat Taoist priest beside Song Jian looked at this posture, was a little frightened, and shouted, "The dirt slope is too steep, don't ...... Yes! ”

The fat Taoist priest didn't finish shouting, and the four wheels of the off-road vehicle were already digging at the dirt, and the body rushed towards the steep slope.

Song Jian is ready to overturn at any time, but this modified off-road vehicle is also too good, it is simply omnipotent.

The off-road vehicle drove up the big dirt slope without danger, Kong Qixiao's eyes were sharp, pointed to the distance, and said: "Look, it's the Red River mountain stream, it's not far away." ”

The old madman looked around for a moment, looked at the position of the sun, and said with a smile, "Before the sun goes down, you will be there." ”

"Boom ......"

The buggy crushed the vines again and drove down the other side of the dirt slope.

Finally, just as the sun was going down, the buggy stopped next to a huge mountain stream.

Stepping off the off-road vehicle, Song Jian came to the edge of the mountain stream, looked down, the cliff is more than 70 meters high, below the cliff, is a rolling river, on the other side of the river, the trees are even more dense, this mountain stream is about more than 60 meters wide, Song Jian looked at this distance, frowned, more than 60 meters away, he can't jump over, I don't know how to get to the other side of the mountain stream tomorrow.

"There is the Blood Forbidden Zone," Kong Qixiao walked over, stood beside Song Jian, and pointed to the opposite side of the mountain stream, "Look, this is the famous Red River, you see the color of the water, blood red." The color of the river changes with the seasons and the time of day. ”

Song Jian looked at Kong Qixiao's fingers and nodded, he had heard of the Red River when he came, and knew that the color change of this river was because of the ore at the bottom of the river, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

"Let's set up a tent, it's going to be dark soon," Kong Qixiao patted Song Jian on the shoulder, and then walked back backwards.

Song Jian also turned around.

At this time, the three Taoist priests were sitting cross-legged in the distance, and the thin Taoist priest was facing the wood, and with a "poof", the wood ignited and a bonfire was lit.

When Kong Qixiao saw it, he immediately walked over and said, "Three Dao Masters, you can't use a bonfire here, it will attract bad things." ”

Before the old Taoist priest could speak, the thin Taoist priest was already a little impatient, "Old man, don't you worry, isn't it just going to attract wild wolves and leopards or something." As for those beasts, we are not afraid of hundreds. ”

Kong Qixiao's expression was serious, he ignored the thin Taoist, but arched his hand towards the old Taoist, and said: "Old Daoist, there are a lot of insects and snakes in this place, and when the weather gets cold at night, the temperature of the bonfire will attract them all. ”

The old Taoist priest waved the dust at Kong Qixiao, and then with a wave of his palm in the air, the bonfire on the ground was extinguished.

Kong Qi said: "The three Dao Masters should set up a tent as soon as possible, the time is not early, and it will be dark in a while." ”

After saying that, Kong Qixiao turned around and left.

Song Jian sat with the old madman, inquiring about how to get through this mountain stream.

The old madman was very free-spirited, and while he stroked his messy beard, he rummaged in Kong Qixiao's backpack, and said: "Young man, you have thought about it, after this mountain stream, it will not be so easy to come back." Walking along this mountain stream for about three or five kilometers, there is a feldspar, which is very close to the opposite bank of the mountain stream, about ten meters away, and there are vines on it that are connected to the opposite side, and you can pass it. ”

Song Jian let out an "oh".

The old madman pulled out a box of cans from Kong Qixiao's backpack, and his hand jerked under the cans, and a puff of heat came out.

"What is this?" Song Jian is quite strange.

"You won't leave a quick can, you're out of luck," explained the old madman, "and you can't make a fire in this place, because it's easy to cause a fire, and because the temperature of the fire will attract the poisonous insects around it." So you can only eat this kind of fast-heating canned food. Oh, and under this kind of can is quicklime and clear water, which were originally separated, but as long as the middle partition is removed, the quicklime and water meet, and heat can be generated. ”

After a little explanation, the old madman had already opened the can and ate it in a big gulp.

Song Jian also took out some dry food from his backpack and ate it slowly.

"Choose a place on high ground to set up a tent," Kong Qixiao dragged his backpack, "In addition, I brought realgar powder, and after setting up the tent, sprinkled it around to prevent poisonous snakes from coming at night." ”

Song Jian said that he understood these common senses, and he had learned them from Xiao Han when he went to the desert.

Song Jian set up his tent on a stone, and when it was dark, he got into the tent, draped in a sleeping bag, and closed his eyes to rest.

The three Taoist priests were quite far away, and the thin Taoist priest pulled the tent and said in a low voice: "Master, I always think that Kong Qi is not simple, you said that we let him be a guide, if he catches that thing, will this old man tell this matter." ”

The old Taoist priest stood aside, he glanced at Kong Qixiao, Song Jian and the old madman in the distance, and said: "Although Kong Qixiao is not simple, he is just an ordinary person in the end, and Song Jian's person is not simple. ”

"Song Jian?" The thin Taoist priest smiled, "Master, you are too careful, that kid Song Jian is only in his twenties, even if he is not simple, he is just a hairy boy, what can he do?" Moreover, the talented children of the Six Sects of the Spring and Autumn Period, Master, you have also seen it, but you have never seen this guy. ”

The old man said "um" and said no more.

Soon, all six of them had set up their tents and rested without mentioning.

Song Jian was lying in his sleeping bag, listening to the gusts of wind outside, and closed his eyes.

The night is like water.

In a small tent, the thin Taoist priest quietly opened his backpack, took out the greasy roast chicken from it, and gnawed it up, although he ate a lot, but the whole person was skinny, and the fat Taoist priest was the opposite, the fat Taoist priest of more than 200 catties usually eats very little, just drinks a lot of water, perhaps in response to the old saying, drinking water can be fat, it is obvious that the fat Taoist priest belongs to this situation.

The thin Taoist priest finished chewing, wiped his mouth, threw the bag of chicken bones out of the tent, and fell asleep contentedly.

...... "rustle...... Rustling...... Sand ......"

A light sound like a breeze came, Song Jian opened his eyes suddenly, he listened carefully for a second, and then quickly put on his clothes, pulled out the tent, and walked out.

The moonlight is as quiet as water, giving the entire mountain forest a layer of quiet color.

Song Jian's eyes were like electricity, and he soon found that in the distance, where the "rustling" sound kept coming, there were a lot of dark green fluorescent lights shaking.

"It's a poisonous snake!"

Song Jian immediately understood, he looked at the ground, at this time there were no snakes crawling around, Song Jian flew a few times, came to Kong Qixiao's tent, and pulled him up.

At this time, the old Taoist priest sleeping in the tent suddenly opened his eyes, he vaguely heard someone talking outside, the old Taoist priest thought that Kong Qixiao wanted to sneak back, he got out of the sleeping bag and got out of the tent.

At this time, outside the tent, Kong Qixiao, Song Jian, and the old madman had already woken up and were discussing countermeasures.

Seeing that the old Taoist priest woke up, Kong Qixiao strode over and said, "Old Daoist, things are a little bad, the insects and snakes around me have somehow surrounded me, hurry up and pack up our things, while the number of these poisonous insects is still small, let's evacuate here." ”

The old Taoist priest called out to his two apprentices, and looked at Kong Qixiao suspiciously: "Mr. Kong, this is the place you chose." ”

"I know, but I don't know what's going on, generally speaking, unless there's a fire, or a heat source, or the aroma of roasted meat, especially chicken, these poisonous insects will gather." Kong Qixiao didn't have time to look for the reason too much, he waved his hand and said, "Fortunately, I found it early, let's get out of here quickly." ”

The six of them packed up, and the old madman didn't start the off-road vehicle, after all, the off-road vehicle was too quiet, and the sound of the off-road vehicle could be heard throughout half of the forest on this quiet night.

Kong Qixiao walked at the front, and took out a bamboo tube-shaped item like a firecracker in his hand.

The old Taoist priest followed behind Kong Qixiao, and when he heard Kong Qixiao say that chicken would attract these poisons, he already understood that it must have been his greedy thin apprentice who threw chicken bones everywhere to attract these poisons. Chicken, especially rooster, is a popular surname, and the temptation of cold poisons such as these centipedes and vipers is very strong.

Thinking of this, the old Taoist priest turned around and glanced at Song Jian, he was very puzzled in his heart, how did Song Jian discover these poisons first? Could it be that this guy's ears are stronger than his own?

At this time, Kong Qixiao had already pulled out the stopper of the bamboo tube in his hand, and a pungent yellow smoke immediately came, which was the smell of realgar.

Kong Qixiao shook the thing a few times, and suddenly the surrounding poisonous snakes avoided it, and several people took the opportunity to leave the place with their bags on their backs.

"Go straight to the cliff," Kong Qixiao looked at the moon and whispered, "It's not safe here, old madman, come here again the next day to drive your wild donkey." ”

"It's all right, as long as I don't get pushed down the mountain stream by those savages," laughed the old madman.

Song Jian and the three Taoist priests all thought that the old madman was joking, but Kong Qixiao didn't laugh, he said lightly: "Don't worry, there are poisonous insects here today, and the wild people don't dare to come." ”

Turning off the male yellow smoke bamboo tube in his hand, Kong Qixiao took a few people, walked more than three kilometers, and in a slightly flat place, Kong Qixiao stopped, and said: "Just rest here, there are about three hours before dawn, as soon as the sky is bright, we will set off and officially enter the blood forbidden area." ”
