Chapter 546: The Horror of the Melon Field

After Yu Wenli was frightened by Rafflesia, she no longer dared to run around casually, she just walked up the river unhurriedly, and occasionally stopped to catch a river shrimp and crab or something, but soon she threw it away and continued to move forward in frustration.

Xu Wenlong naturally saw this in his eyes, was happy in his heart, and secretly thought in his heart: "It should have been like this a long time ago, otherwise I would have paid attention to you all the time, stared at you without a moment's notice, and wouldn't have exhausted people to death?" He walked slowly and carefully, carefully observing the flowers and vines on both sides, hoping to find some melons and fruits that could quench his thirst, because Yu Wenli had already been crying out for a long time. Although the water in the river seems to be clear and clear, almost like a sweet spring, no one can guarantee what deadly germs it contains. If you drink it rashly, it is really not a joke, it can lead to a serious illness at least and a loss of life at worst.

As we walked, the straight northward river suddenly turned westward, and almost at a ninety-degree angle sank into the dense jungle. The tree species at the big angle are also different, all of them are huge ancient trees with branches and umbrellas, and I don't know that there are dozens or hundreds. The trees are covered with hoof prints of various sizes, and it seems that animals often come here to drink.

Yu Wenli stopped, shrugged her shoulders and asked Xu Wenlong: "You are the boss, you are in charge, should we continue to move forward?" Or stop and rest for a while. ”

Xu Wenlong didn't hear it, and looked at a big tree not far away in a daze. After a long time, as if he had made up his mind, he shook off his big stride and walked straight to the bottom of the big tree.

"What do you mean, those who pretend to be ghosts are not afraid of scaring people to death!" Yu Wenli muttered inexplicably, and quickly followed. When she came ashore, she was instantly stunned by the scene in front of her. I saw a large open land under the ancient trees, densely covered with vines with interlaced branches, green and green, like a thick green carpet for the earth. The most gratifying thing is that among the green tangled vines, the stars are dotted with fruits as big as fists and as small as pit dates.

"Melon! Melon! Oh my God, there are such good things in this world! Yu Wenli screamed, ran into the melon field, quickly picked a "melon" with a rich fragrance, and stuffed it into her mouth without wiping it.

"Wait!" When Xu Wenlong saw it, he hurriedly waved his hand to stop her, and then looked around with a pair of vigilant eyes.

"What's wrong? Is it toxic? When Yu Wenli heard this, she was so frightened that she let go of her hand, and the "melon" fell to the ground with a bang.

Xu Wenlong waved his hand, picked up the long javelin in his hand, and slapped it on the vine like raindrops. Puff puff, puff, after a dozen slaps like this, the dense branches suddenly trembled, and instantly poked out a snake head as big as a teacup, twisting the neck as thick as a child's arm, sizzling and spitting blood-red snake letters.

Yu Wenli's head buzzed, and a heart almost jumped out of her throat. Her face was pale, her lips were purple, and her body was shaking like chaff.

Xu Wenlong held a javelin, fully alert, and stared at the big red snake with a russet body. The big snake tilted his head cross-legged, sizzling out the letter, and glared at Xu Wenlong with big eyes like grapes.

Confrontation, one person and one snake did not move for a long time......

Finally, with a swing of his head, the serpent turned and plunged headlong into the dense vines, and with a trembling green wave escaped into the bush, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Yu Wenli said "ah", only to feel a flower in front of her, her legs were weak, and her body collapsed to the ground like dough.

Xu Wenlong hurriedly put down the javelin, turned around and helped Yu Wenli up, and kept comforting her: "It's okay, it's okay, the poisonous snake has run away." ”

Where did Yu Wenli believe it, got up and swooped into Xu Wenlong's arms, hung her legs high, trembled and asked sharply, "There is still ...... Are there still snakes? Oh my God, such a big snake! ”

Xu Wenlong replied with a smile: "It's gone, it's gone, there are no more poisonous snakes, it's safe here." At least this melon field is safe! ”

Yu Wenli listened, and then jumped down tremblingly. But she was still not at ease, so she had the courage to lift a handful of vines and shake them violently a few times, then she shrunk her neck and said with palpitations: "Thank God, there are really no poisonous snakes." So, these melons ...... Can you eat these melons? Is it poisonous? ”

"I was uncertain at first, but now I know. It's delicious, and it's delicious! Xu Wenlong replied affirmatively.

"Why? Why can't I be sure at first? ”

"Don't you see those cracked and rotten 'remnants'? It was left behind after the beast had eaten it. What the beasts eat, generally without lethal toxins. But if you're going to eat it now, it's best to wash it with clean water first! Xu Wenlong picked up the javelin on the ground, picked out some ripe "melons" and kept stuffing them into his bag.

"But I want to eat it now, and I don't have clean water! What to do? Yu Wenli picked a big "melon", put it to her mouth and sniffed violently, greedily smelling the rich aroma it emitted.

"It's easy to do." Xu Wenlong raised his hand and motioned for Yu Wenli to go with him. He walked into a bush with a javelin in his hand, performed another trick of scaring the snake, and then pulled a thumb-sized rattan from the bush.

Yu Wenli looked at Xu Wenlong's every move in surprise, frowned and asked puzzledly, "What are you doing here?" Do you want to make a net pocket for 'melons'? ”

"Help you wash the 'melon', don't you want to eat the 'melon'? This is a water vine, which contains a large amount of pure water, which can be drunk or used to wash 'melons'! After Xu Wenlong finished speaking, he asked Yu Wenli to put the "melon" in her hand on the edge of the water vine, and then took out the dagger and waved it vigorously. The water vine broke off from it, and a stream of clear water gushed out from the fracture.

Yu Wenli screamed happily, and immediately cleaned the "melon" with running water. When the water in the water vine runs out, the "melon" has been washed. She shook off the water stains on the "melon", opened her mouth and bit down hard: "Ah, it's so sweet!" It's as sweet as honey! Mmmm, yes, yes, you're amazing, you deserve to be my boss! Her latter sentence is naturally heartfelt praise for Xu Wenlong.

"Eat your 'melon' slowly, and remember not to run around." Xu Wenlong smiled, took out all the "melons" in the bag, and then pulled out a large handful of water vines from the bushes, and carefully cleaned them one by one.

Yu Wenli ate the "melon" in her hand in two bites, and when she was still unsatisfied, she twisted another one from the vine. When she wanted to take it to be cleaned, she felt that the "melon" was a little smaller, and she pondered to find the biggest and sweetest one. So she threw away the "melon" in her hand and stepped on the soft branches to look around.

Xu Wenlong cleaned the "melons" in the bag, picked a few more from the vines, washed them and sat down to eat them with taste. After walking the river for so long, it is very tiring to have potholes, and it is time to take a good rest. Fortunately, the jungle and the sea are different. Although the sun is scorching and just overhead, it is not scorching at all, not stuffy at all, and it is very comfortable to be cool and shady under the trees.

Yu Wenli monkey picks watermelons, picks one and throws one, throws one and picks one, always feels that the pick is not good, and the next one will be better. She muttered, shaking her head and looking around. Suddenly, she let out a scream of "ah" from her mouth, and her body stood still like a stake, her eyes staring straight at the back of a giant tree, and her face showed a look of horror.

Xu Wenlong was taken aback, threw away the "melon" in his hand, grabbed the javelin next to him casually, and rushed over in a hurry, tightly hugging Yu Wenli, who was trembling.

"It's ...... What the hell is this? Room...... Is there hell on earth? Yu Wenli hugged Xu Wenlong's waist tightly, pointed to the back of the giant tree in a trembling voice and said, "What...... Why are there so many animal bones? ”

Xu Wenlong looked up, and he didn't feel that he gasped, his back was cold, and his scalp was numb.

I saw that on the hill rising behind the giant tree, there were countless dirt bags that looked like volcanic craters one after another. The soil bag is not big, but the quantity is huge, densely surrounded by a ring of melon fields, there is no grass on it, it is bare, dozens of animal skeletons are displayed in the meantime, the posture is different, the miserable white and gloomy, it is shocking, and it can't bear to look at it directly.

"Marching ants! Marching ants in the jungle! Bulging is their nest ant pack! Xu Wenlong shuddered, dragged Yu Wenli, who was trembling, and said, "Let's go, we have to get out of here quickly." ”

Before they could lift their legs and take a step, they heard a loud sound, and a wild boar suddenly sprang out of a bush on the edge of the ant pack, and stepped into the dense ant pack in a daze. This is a medium-sized wild boar, with a black mane and shiny oil, about more than 100 catties. After seeing it emerge from the bushes, it arched its long mouth, stepped on the soft soil, and walked leisurely towards the melon field. Obviously, this wild boar is coming for the melon field, wanting to let go of the "melon" mouth.

Xu Wenlong visually measured the distance of the ant pack and felt that there was still enough chance to escape. So he gave up the idea of leaving, and took Yu Wenli to stare at the wild boar at ease. At this time, although Yu Wenli was frightened and almost wanted to fly away, because of Xu Wenlong by her side, she didn't seem to be very scared, and she dared to sneak at the eerie ant bag with her eyes.

The wild boar shook its head and tailed leisurely, slowly walking into the middle of the ant packs step by step. Suddenly, as if aware of the approaching danger, it stopped and pricked up its ears to listen. But it was too late. As a sound of trembling fingernails cutting through the glass, countless ant bags seemed to have received a unified order, and their mouths trembled, and the soil particles tumbled, and they kept falling like an earthquake. Immediately after that, there was a hula sound, and countless ants covered in brown and the size of fingers poured out of the ant pack like a tide, overwhelmingly pounced on the wild boar that was still in ignorance.

The boar finally realized that something was wrong, raised his head and screamed, and spread his hooves and scurried out desperately. It's just that it runs fast, and the marching ants that come from all directions run even faster, and in the blink of an eye, they climb up from its legs and feet, and instantly crawl all over its body. The wild boar was in pain, raised its head and roared repeatedly, and went on a rampage, scurrying blindfolded in the ant pack with ants all over its body. With a terrible wail, the wild boar finally couldn't support it, trembling and falling to the ground, with a long and short scream in his mouth. Regardless of the marching ants, they still surged upward, piling up on top of each other, and soon became a huge colony of ants like a small mountain. The wild boar finally stopped crying, and lay silent and motionless, and the empty ant pack forest echoed only the rustling and gnawing sounds...... For a long time, it is dense, which makes people change color and tremble when they hear it, and a layer of goosebumps explodes all over their bodies.

In less than a cup of tea, the stacked ant group seemed to have received an invisible order, and they scattered and fled with a coax, pouring into the ant bag like a tide, and disappeared in an instant, leaving only an intact wild boar skeleton, white and miserable, and not even a trace of blood stains could be seen.

Yu Wenli shuddered, looked up at Xu Wenlong with a frightened face, and trembled and couldn't speak for a long time.

"Let's go, let's go! The sooner you get out of here, the better! Xu Wenlong made a silent gesture with his fingers, pulled Yu Wenli and moved lightly out of the melon field.

"They...... Will they chase after them? Yu Wenli walked forward with Xu Wenlong with a shallow foot, and asked worriedly, "If they chase after us, can we escape?" Will...... Will it also become a pile of bones? Oh my God, I don't want to be a pile of bones! ”

Xu Wenlong gently comforted her and said, "Don't worry, they didn't find us, and they can't outrun us." As long as we jump into the river at the critical moment, they will be helpless, and they can only look at the river and sigh! ”

Before the words fell, there was a sudden roar from far and near overhead, and then the branches and leaves of the giant trees behind him trembled and shook endlessly, like a violent wind destroying the top, pouring torrential rain, accompanied by a squeaking, chirping and noisy chirping, and I don't know what it came from.

Yu Wenli's legs weakened at first sight, and she sat down on the ground screaming, crying with an earthy face: "Mom, it's not good!" Ant...... The ants are flying! They...... They want to cut us off and then ...... And gnaw us into a pile of white bones......"

Although Xu Wenlong didn't believe that ants could fly, he didn't dare to take it lightly, picked up the javelin to block Yu Wenxian, who couldn't sit on the ground, and stared at the top of the giant tree whose voices were becoming more and more chaotic and noisy.

Boom, squeak, squeak, branches swinging wildly, screaming everywhere. In the blink of an eye, a large number of brown and yellow monkeys jumped and jumped, climbed and swung vines, roared like locusts, and gathered in several huge ancient branches, hanging or hanging, or hanging or hooking, all scratching their ears and cheeks curiously looking at a man and a woman in the melon field. One of them is the most large, more than twice the size of the average monkey, and is estimated to be the king of monkeys. It sat high on a huge branch and looked at Xu Wenlong with a very serious face.

"stinky monkey, scared your aunt and me to death!" Yu Wenli smiled when she saw this, raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, picked up a fist-sized "melon", and rounded her arm to smash it at the monkey on the tree.

Xu Wenlong was shocked, and hurriedly stopped Yu Wenli and said, "Don't, don't, don't provoke them!" ”

Yu Wenli held the "melon" straight, looked at Xu Wenlong with puzzled eyes and said, "Why?" Are you afraid of them? What is there to be afraid of such a skinny group of monkeys? I'm not afraid of them, see if I don't smash them to the ground one by one, dare to scare your aunt and me! After saying that, she picked up the "melon" again and aimed at the monkey king to throw it.

Xu Wenlong quickly snatched the "melon" from Yu Wenli's hand, and said to her patiently: "Forget it, they have a lot of monkey strength." If we annoy them, they will swarm up and chase after us and bite us. ”

"Really? Is it so powerful? Yu Wenli's body trembled, and she put down her hand to snatch back the "melon".

At this moment, the big fat monkey king let out a long "squeak", jumped down from the giant branch, stood cautiously three zhang away, looked at Xu Wenlong with a wary face, and twitched his nose from time to time, and looked straight at the grilled fish bag he was carrying.

Xu Wenlong's heart was bright, knowing that the Monkey King smelled the unique aroma of grilled fish on his body, and he probably wanted to taste what it tasted like. However, he didn't want to deal with it, he didn't want to ask for trouble, and of course he didn't dare to make a big and drastic action, so as not to cause misunderstanding by the Monkey King. He gently stuffed the "melon" back into Yu Wenli's hand, pulled her and slowly walked to the river step by step.

The Monkey King felt no threat, so he raised his head and let out a long roar. The monkeys got the order, and then they jumped down from the giant tree, squeaked and swarmed to the melon field, pulled and picked the "melon" on the vine, and squeaked and chewed nonsense. One of the monkeys was the sharpest-eyed, and soon spotted the broth that Yu Wenli had placed on the river embankment. It then screamed, jumped over and grabbed a "pot" of soup, looked left and right, sniffed and sniffed. The spilled soup was dripping and dripping, staining its head and head full of monkey hair. The other monkeys spotted it and ran over to it, tugging and tugging for the broth.

When Yu Wenli saw it, she couldn't help but say to Xu Wenlong anxiously: "Lunch, our lunch was taken by that damn monkey, do you want to snatch it back?" ”

"Forget it, let's go, it's better to get out of here early!" Xu Wenlong picked up Yu Wenli and strode towards the river.

Yu Wenli was unwilling, but she didn't dare to mess around, so she had to glare at the monkey who snatched her lunch, picked two "melons" shortly, grabbed Xu Wenlong's hand and hurried towards the River of Hope. Leaving a large group of monkeys to wreak havoc and scream in the melon fields.
