Chapter 190: Savages
Soon, everything around was calm again.
Song Jian slowly lay down and closed his eyes, he really needed to rest, this place was too dangerous, and he needed to maintain good physical strength at all times, and more importantly, although these three Taoist priests looked harmless to humans and animals, Song Jian still had to be more guarded.
The next morning, after everyone got up and ate some dry food, Kong Qixiao stood up and looked at the mist in the forest, and when the mist dispersed, Kong Qixiao waved his hand and said, "Let's go!" Today we must get out of the outer mountains and forests and camp in the big trees of the swamp. ”
After speaking, Kong Qixiao picked up his bag and walked first, since entering this dense forest, Kong Qixiao has not left his bag, thinking that there are many life-saving things in the bag.
Song Jian carried his big bag on his back and followed closely behind, although this place was dangerous, there was nothing to worry about for the martial artists who reacted quickly, especially since Song Jian also had a lot of medicines in his own backpack.
Kong Qixiao was short and burrowed into the dense woods.
Song Jian looked around, and knew why this place was easy to get lost, the trees here were too dense, and they grew too tall and dense, covering the sun, so that ordinary people walking in the woods would lose their sense of direction after a long time, plus there were too many magnetites in this place, and the compass would fail, so it was necessary for experienced hunters to be able to take them out of this dense forest.
The three Taoist priests followed behind, not worried, even if they lost their sense of direction, the old Taoist priest could easily climb to the canopy of the tree and discern the direction by the sun. These trees are naturally difficult to climb in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of the old Taoist priest, they are not enough.
The group followed Kong Qixiao and moved quickly.
When Kong Qixiao saw the particularly thick cedar tree, he would carve a mark on it, thinking that it should be to prevent getting lost, or to make it easier to come back.
After about three hours, Kong Qixiao stopped, he squatted down, carefully picked up the ground, and frowned: "It's not good, there are wild people, just walked by." ”
Song Jian didn't speak, and the thin Taoist priest on the side had already sneered, and said, "Don't look at it, na, the wild man is watching us not far ahead." ”
Kong Qixiao was startled, took out a small telescope from his backpack, and looked in the direction where the thin Taoist priest was looking, and sure enough, a wild man with a height of two meters and a half was standing on the middle of the tree, looking at a few of his own people, it was obvious that it was a mother's surname, because there were two piles of meat hanging from his chest.
Kong Qixiao put down the binoculars and said in a low voice, "What now?" Wildlings are the toughest to deal with, they are intelligent, they can even use weapons such as poisoned arrows, and they are extremely powerful, making them the most difficult animals to deal with here. It's estrus season, and a few of us may be knocked unconscious and dragged back to the cave by them. ”
Song Jian wanted to laugh when he heard this, and the three Taoist priests also tried hard to hold back their laughter, only Kong Qixiao looked flustered, he saw the expressions of Song Jian and the three Taoist priests, frowned and said: "You don't know the special surnames of these apes, the male savages are a little better, they only like to grab food and play, there are no women among us, they will not embarrass us, but when we meet the female, we will be in trouble, the female's attack surname is stronger than the male's, because they are too uncomfortable when they are in heat, and the white bears and leopards here dare not provoke them." ”
The old Taoist priest held back a smile and said, "Mr. Kong doesn't have to be afraid, just take us on the road." ”
Seeing that several people had no intention of looking back, Kong Qixiao turned around and continued to observe the surrounding plants and the feces of animals on the ground, and hurried away with a few people.
"Rustling ......"
The leaves in the distance trembled, and then two wild men appeared, still two females, but this time they were closer, only more than ten meters away from Song Jian and the others.
The old Taoist priest snorted, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it at a wild man.
With a "bang", the stone smashed on a broad-leaved tree with a thick bowl mouth next to the wild man, and with a "click", the tree was directly smashed and fell to the ground.
Several of the wildlings were startled, one of them screamed, and then several of them turned around at the same time and disappeared without a trace.
Kong Qixiao was secretly speechless, and he realized that the strength of the old Taoist priest was so great that even the savages would be frightened away.
Seeing the wild man leaving, Kong Qixiao relieved his heart, led a few people to shuttle between the vines and trees, and finally walked out of this tall dense forest in the afternoon.
The miasma in the forest grew thicker.
Kong Qixiao put the leaves in his mouth, and brought a simple gas mask, he pointed to the front, and said angrily: "The front is the middle of the blood forbidden area, there are many swamps inside, and poisonous insects and centipedes are very powerful, everyone take care of their legs, if you are bitten, you must tell me in time." ”
Song Jian looked ahead, except for the miasma, the trees in front of him were much lower, and these trees were all crooked, no longer as tall and dense as the forest he had just passed.
At this time, the sky was about to get dark, Kong Qixiao found a relatively gentle area, and said: "Let's rest here tonight, don't put the tent on the ground, hang it on the tree, let's get together all night, and tomorrow afternoon, we should be able to reach the destination." ”
Song Jian stepped on the ground, there were a lot of dead leaves on the ground, and when he stepped on his feet, he would gurgle and bubble, this kind of place, not to mention Kong Qixiao's emphasis, even if he didn't say it, no one wanted to sleep on this kind of ground.
A few people found a place to sleep.
The thin Taoist priest suddenly ran over with his pants and said, "There are monsters!" ”
Kong Qixiao was taken aback.
The old Taoist priest looked at the thin Taoist priest with a dark face, "Qingsong! How can you talk nonsense! ”
The thin Taoist priest's face was a little pale, and while he was tying his pants, he said in a panic: "Master, there really is, just now I went over there to relieve myself, and I turned my head sharply and saw a crooked-necked tree walking. It really is the Dryad. ”
Kong Qixiao heard this, Fang breathed a sigh of relief, he walked over, and said with a smile: "Dao Chief, don't panic, it's a man-eating tree, its roots grow in the swamp, it can swim when hunting, it may be that the breath on our body attracts it, don't panic, they move very slowly, and they can only walk in the shallow swamp, they can't come to our side." ”
The fat and thin Taoist priests all looked at Kong Qixiao in disbelief, as if they couldn't believe that there would be such a creature.
"Not really a dryad?" The thin Taoist priest asked again.
Kong Qixiao was very sure: "It's not a tree demon, where is there a demon?" ”
The old Taoist priest waved the dust and said, "I've also heard of the man-eating tree, but I didn't expect our country to have it, let's go to sleep, don't make a fuss." ”
Everyone went to rest.
Song Jian slowly climbed up a large willow tree and shrank into the tent, which should be called a hammock more appropriately because it was hung from the trunk of the tree.
After seeing the wild man and the walking man-eating tree, Song Jian's heart was numb, or rather, when he knew that the fire linhua really existed, Song Jian was already immune to these strange species that came out, and even the fire linflower was there, and it was naturally not surprising that there were man-eating trees and wild people.
Song Jian closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and fell asleep lightly, in this kind of place, he must ensure sleep and let his body be in the best time.
The night was fine, and the next day, after Kong Qi instructed everyone to devour a crisp camellia leaf again, he set off with everyone.
The swampy land is really disgusting to walk in, many times, where it seems to be a normal path, as soon as you step on it, the stinky mud will come up, which can directly drown your knees, and a lot of leech-like insects are rolling in the mud, ready to give Song Jian and others a bite at any time.
Because of the existence of Kong Qixiao, the old Taoist priest and several people could not use light power to fly quickly, so everyone had to endure the stinky mud and pass through this area as soon as possible.
Fortunately, the swamp was not too wide, and after walking for more than four hours, I finally stepped on a mountain forest.
From a distance, one after another high mountains are connected in the distance, and above the high mountains, white mist rolls and even snow accumulates.
Stepping on the sturdy mountain ground, Song Jian and the others were relieved, and finally they didn't have to worry about those disgusting bloodsucking worms burrowing into their legs.
Kong Qixiao packed up his clothes, then pointed to the north, and said, "Over this hillside, this is where you are on the map." ”
Hearing this, everyone had spirits, Kong Qixiao also showed a smile on his face, and said: "Originally, this part of the journey, we had to worry about creatures such as savages and leopards and wild wolves, but with the old Taoist here, I believe it must be no problem, let's hurry up, at ** o'clock in the evening, we should be able to arrive." ”
The five of them hurried on their way, and there was basically no danger except for the occasional poisonous snake that appeared in danger.
"Master, look," the thin Taoist priest behind him suddenly spoke, whispering to the old Taoist priest beside him.
At this time, Song Jian and Kong Qixiao walked more than twenty meters in front, and the three Taoist priests didn't pay much attention to them.
The old Taoist priest looked in the direction pointed by Qingzhu, and then ran quickly, squatting on the ground, checking the ground, and above the ground, a paw print more than half a meter long was clearly visible.
"Master, is that it?" Qingsong and Qingzhu also surrounded them.
"It's it, but it seems to be bigger than the rumors, it's a bit troublesome, and I don't know if I can catch it in this kind of place." The old Taoist priest groaned and said in a low voice.
Song Jian's ears moved, it seemed that these three Taoist priests were just here to catch some animal, and the target was not Huolin Flower, since this was the case, Song Jian was a lot more relieved.
"Master, those two people, what should we do? They will definitely reveal what they have seen," Qingzhu said, and at the same time, there was a bit of murderous intent in his words.
Lao Dao did not speak.
Fat Taoist Qingsong spoke: "If you are afraid that they will leak it, we will separate here, there is no need to make more killings." ”
The old Taoist priest stood up and said, "Go on, pay attention to these footprints, and discuss whether to leave these two people behind when you get to the place." ”
In fact, this old Taoist priest is not a murderous person, but at his level, the martial artists of the inner qi realm are basically out of the level of ordinary human beings, just like a gentle gentleman will also use a kitchen knife to kill chickens, and he does not have too much guilt in his heart, because the old Taoist is already looking down on human beings.
Song Jian listened to the conversation of the three Taoist priests in his ears, knowing that the old Taoist priest already had killing intent, he looked ahead and made a decision in his heart.
