"Really! But doesn't it look like it's dead? Look at the roots in the sand, if they are dead, how can they grow so thick......"

Zhang Meng said strangely, this piece of ancient forest seems to have no vitality at first glance, but such a huge piece of ancient forest, if these trees are all dead and rotten trees, how can they be preserved to this day?

Zhang Meng and Xiaolou thought for a while, and saw that they really didn't have a clue, so they stopped guessing.

"Fatty, Ah Jiu!"

Zhang Meng shouted loudly, beckoned the fat man and the others over, and then prepared to set off for this dead woodland.

The fat man answered, and then walked out of the forest with Ye Jiu.

"Well, have you found anything?"

Zhang Meng asked casually.

"There's a shit that found that it's so lifeless that there's not even a pheasant."

The fat man said angrily.

He and Ye Jiu went into the forest to search for most of the day, but they didn't find anything at all, which really made him a little depressed.

"This forest is very big, we want to finish the whole forest, we don't know if the whole day is enough, why are you in a hurry?"

Zhang Meng scolded with a smile.

They took everything with them, and then Xiao Lou collected two full pots of water in disapprehension, and then everyone set off to this dry forest.

Zhang Meng and Xiao Lou walked in after the fat man, and it didn't take long for them to feel that the light around them was dim, and compared to outside, they were almost two different threads of light.

There were no leaves here, but there were so many dead branches that were tangled together on the top of the head that they blocked out the light.

This dim light makes you have to walk carefully, and if you are not careful, you may kick something to the ground and fall.

"This ...... How do you go from here? ”

Zhang Meng was dumbfounded all of a sudden, they had just entered the periphery of the forest, if they continued to walk, I am afraid that it would not be long before the light would be darker, let alone rush at that time.

"Hmph, the fat man's time in the morning is not wasted, you will know in a while."

The fat man looked left and right, as if he was looking for something.

"This way!"

He took Zhang Meng and them for a few minutes, and then looked at four or five torches on the ground.

The fat man took out a match, lit a torch, and held it one after the other, and the light was immediately enough for them to hurry.

"Not bad! Finally got down to business for a while. ”

Zhang Meng praised.

"What kind of bullshit are you, the fat man has something to do today, so don't quarrel with you stinky boy first."

The fat man said happily.

"Hey, why does it seem to have a faint fragrance?"

Zhang Meng's nose moved, and he said with some vigilance.

"We smelled it in the morning, but it doesn't seem to be dangerous, maybe there are sandalwood plants in this place, don't be so nervous."

The fat man shook his head and continued walking.

"That'll do."

Zhang Meng said softly, what he was most worried about was what the smell would do to his body, and if he was fine, he would be relieved.

Inside, the dry branches, and the dead wood that had lost its bark, became more and more dense.

Xiao Lou hesitated, picked up the Luoyang shovel and patted a small tree next to him, and suddenly the small tree broke into two.

"It's strange, these trees are supposed to be dead, but look at the sand on the ground......"

Xiaolou hit the ground with a Luoyang shovel, and it was hard.

"There's something wrong with some huge rhizomes tangled around here."

Zhang Meng noticed this detail at this time, judging from the trees on the periphery, this forest has long lost its vitality. But if that's the case, the sand on the ground should be exactly the same as the desert outside, how can it be so compact.

"Maybe a small percentage of the plants aren't dead?"

Zhang Meng guessed.

"Don't talk about it, everyone keep a snack, there will definitely be something in it."

Zhang Meng said with a frown.

Xiao Lou nodded, and everyone continued to move forward.

The further they went, the more difficult it became for them to walk, and countless rotten branches were piled up on the ground like garbage, and one of them would trip over if they were not careful.

"The terrain in this forest seems to be a little higher than before!"

Zhang Meng carefully compared, and it seemed that after they had walked for half an hour, they were now at a higher altitude than before.

"Hey, what is this?"

Zhang Meng suddenly saw a clump of gray fur showing a little on an ancient tree, and he slowly walked over to see what it was.

"Squeak!"

It seemed that Zhang Meng's footsteps were too loud, and the thing suddenly made a violent sound, and its entire body was revealed from behind the treetops, and it turned out to be a baboon with gray fur. It slammed one from the branch and wanted to jump onto another, but it didn't know what was going on, but it grabbed a void and fell alive in the air, falling not far from Zhang Meng and them.

This should have been a funny scene, a baboon actually made a mistake while climbing a tree, but when everyone's eyes fell on the baboon, he couldn't laugh anymore......

One of the baboon's eyes was pulled out in the blink of an eye, its nose was torn apart, and some white bones could even be seen on its face.

No wonder it fell from the tree, it turned out to be so badly injured, the baboon bounced on the ground a few times, and then fled frantically.

The look on Xiao Lou's face was a little ugly, where had she ever seen a baboon with such a terrifying face.

"What's the matter with this baboon, could it be that there is a bigger beast here?" Xiao Lou asked.

The fat man thought for a while and said, "Baboons are already very flexible, and they don't have any natural enemies in the forest, or maybe the injury was caused by humans. Didn't Brother Jiu'er say that that person also entered the forest last night? Maybe someone hit it with a shotgun. ”

"Anyway, whether it's a beast or someone else's fight, all we can conclude is that it's not peaceful here, we must cheer up our spirits, don't take advantage of the loopholes!" This kind of place where the light is extremely poor and the line of sight is difficult to derive is the best place for a sneak attack, and if you are not careful, you may encounter great danger, Zhang Meng still can't help but tell again and again.

"Hmm."

Xiao Lou nodded, and she subconsciously tightened the gun in her hand.

"Wait."

Ye Jiu suddenly waved his hand to stop everyone's actions, and he said softly:

"Sounds like water?"

The sound of the water was probably not loud, and Ye Jiu's entire body was almost on the ground.

After a long while, he straightened up and said to Zhang Meng and them, "This way." ”

Zhang Meng and the others also hurriedly followed behind Ye Jiu, there was actually water in this place? Could it be a spring?

(PS: The second will be sent later.) ）
