Chapter 31 Konjac - "Devil's Tak"

The clerical subtotal put down Xu Bin and Yan Xiaofen who were tied to the tree, and untied Yan Xiaofen according to the beard's instructions, but the unrepentant Xu Bin still tied his hands behind his back and marched with the team, Yan Xiaofen took advantage of the beard's inattention and secretly stuffed two pieces of wild boar meat into Xu Bin's mouth.

Savage Mountain is located near the Tropic of Cancer, relying on the sun's rays to discern the direction of this trick will not work at all, not to mention that it coincides with the rainy season, light rain is under the sky, heavy rain is 369, all day long clouds and mist, the whole army is lost. In fact, sometimes I am about to walk out of Savage Mountain, because I encounter a big ravine, turn back, and re-enter the depths of the mountain. A lot of geographical knowledge is useless here, for example, the annual rings of trees grow very round, there is no obvious protruding side, and the leaves are not dense in the south and sparse in the north, and they are as complete in all directions.

Most people felt the seriousness of the problem, and the bearded face was even more serious and terrifying. Only Wang Yueyue still had the heart to play tricks, and wrote something on Xiao Zheng's back as she walked. She stopped and asked, "What did I write?" Hey, there's a prize for guessing right." "In this barren mountain and wilderness, what do you use to reward me?" Xiao Zheng was a little unhappy, and he wrote with an itch on his back, but he liked this girl in his heart and didn't dare to offend this girl, so he had to be perfunctory. "And what prize do you want?" Wang Yueyue was still entangled. Xiao Zheng was angry and funny, in this harsh environment, this girl was still very naughty, and he suddenly came to his senses and said: "I guessed right, I will award you as a wife." "You dead ghost, you owe a beating", as soon as the words landed, a raindrop-like fist fell on Xiao Zheng's back. Xiao Zheng said while escaping: "That's good, if you guess correctly, you kiss me, ha, hey, it hurts", the place on Xiao Zheng's back that was cut by a branch really hurts, Wang Yueyue's hand stopped in mid-air, and she felt that her hand was too heavy.

It was getting dark, the terrain ahead was relatively gentle, and the trees were relatively scarce. The group was about to rest in place when they found more than a dozen ragged soldiers lying on the high slope in front of them. Zhao Xiaochun and when they checked, they found that only one person was still panting. They helped the man who was still panting up, and Zhao Xiaochun asked him, "Brother, what's wrong with you?" What's going on? Zhao Xiaochun checked carefully, and found that the corpses were all intact, not like they were attacked by wild beasts, if they were sick, it was impossible for several people to die at once, and he was wondering, the man relieved his breath and said softly: "It's all dead, I have eaten less, and I haven't died yet." Zhao Xiaochun and the others are even more strange, now, there is not much food left that has been brought into the Savage Mountain, how can they support the dead. "What do you eat?" Zhao Xiaochun asked angrily and anxiously. The man's Adam's apple moved, his throat could not make a sound, and he pointed his finger at the low-lying place.

Zhao Xiaochun and Zhang Minmin searched in the direction of the man's finger together, and found a brown ball-shaped thing scattered on the ground, which neither looked like an artichoke nor an ordinary taro. Some are still connected to stems and leaves, Zhang Minmin usually likes to read some miscellaneous books, her mind flashed, and said: "Xiaochun, this may be the legendary konjac, I have only seen the pictures on the book, but I have not seen the real thing", Zhang Minmin is not sure. Zhao Xiaochun said: "Ah, it really may be konjac, I have also seen it in books, that konjac is poisonous." They approached the bodies and found that each of them had some foam foaming at the corners of their mouths. It can be determined that he ate raw konjac, and there is nothing else in his abdomen, so he was poisoned and died one by one.
