Chapter 210: The Jungle (2)
Wang Lang nodded and said: "Although the workload is a bit large, but this road must be built, if we find anything useful in the jungle in the future, how to transport it is also a problem, such as these fruits, although we found it, but want to carry it back with manpower, it is obviously very difficult, only to build a road that can pass vehicles." ”
Lin Huo pondered for a while and said, "That being said, this has taken too long! ”
"I guess it will take at least seventy or eighty days to build here, and the trees along the way are all of ordinary thickness, and it is not particularly difficult to cut down, and if we don't build roads, the things of this jungle will be useless to us."
Lin Huo sighed and said, "Okay, that's the only way to go. ”
After receiving the goods, Wang Lang re-established his confidence, although there is no road, but as long as the road is completed, this forest will be like a woman who has stripped naked, there will be no more mystery, and the things inside can be picked by themselves.
After resting for a while, everyone continued on their way and found fruit, which immediately boosted their morale.
Wang Lang didn't know how far he had gone now, there were dense woods all around, and even the high mountain could be seen here.
Not long after passing through this orchard, Wang Lang and the others encountered a new problem.
There was a huge broken valley in front of him, Wang Lang stood on the edge and looked down, and couldn't help but gasp, this broken valley can be said to be bottomless, the cliff is full of dense vine plants, in the lush leaves of these vine plants, something can be faintly seen wriggling, and the huge tentacles that are sometimes exposed, make people see that this thing is not a good kind.
"Chief, what are we going to do, will we go back?" Kong Yi asked.
Wang Lang looked around, but he didn't see where the end of this broken valley was, and he hesitated for a while and said: "We can't go for the time being, it's too dangerous to go now, if an accident happens, we can't retreat." ”
"So which way do we go now?" Lin Huo asked.
"South! Let's go south! Wang Lang said.
Having chosen their direction, the team slowly headed south.
The tiring and boring expedition soon made the soldiers feel depressed, dragging their heavy steps through the dense forests.
After a day's walk to the south, good fortune seemed to have drifted away from the crowd, and nothing useful was found except for the killing of a few small predators.
Looking at the gradually declining morale, Wang Lang knew that this expedition could not be carried out any longer, and he planned to walk for another day, so he returned the same way.
Just when Wang Lang decided to give up, Lin Huot suddenly shouted: "Lang, look over there, isn't that the hemp used to make cloth?" ”
When Wang Lang heard this, he hurriedly looked in the direction of Lin Huo's finger, and sure enough, he saw a dense shrub growing a large area of hemp from behind.
This surprise discovery made Wang Lang overjoyed, and led everyone straight to the hemp field.
Kong Yi looked at this large area of densely packed plants more than one person tall and asked, "Chief, is this hemp?" ”
Wang Lang nodded and said, "This is hemp, this is a good thing, I didn't expect such good luck this time." ”
"So how do we get these things back?" Kong Yi asked.
"Wait a minute, I'll see if the hemp is ripe, and if so, we'll bring the seeds back." After Wang Lang finished speaking, he walked to the side of a hemp plant, checked the situation of the seeds, and showed a happy smile on his face.
"Well, will these seeds work?" Lin Huo asked.
Wang Lang nodded and said, "Yes, everyone hurry up and collect these seeds, and after the collection, we will go back." ”
When everyone heard that they could return, they were immediately excited, and the soldiers with bags hurriedly collected the seeds.
The seeds of hemp plants are small, and a bag can hold a lot of seeds, and it didn't take long to collect almost ten catties of seeds.
With these seeds, Wang Lang estimates that at least ten acres of land can be planted.
"Let's go, let's return to the tribe." Wang Lang said excitedly.
The crowd cheered, and their morale was immediately high, and they walked briskly and returned the way they came.
But not long after the team left, they heard a tooth-aching creak sound coming from the hempfield.
"Team up, there seems to be some voice behind you." A soldier said to his team.
The team was listening carefully, and sure enough, they heard a strange sound, and hurriedly told Wang Lang about it.
Wang Lang was stunned for a moment, asked the team to stop, and listened carefully to the surrounding movements.
"Lang, what's that sound?" Lin Huo asked nervously.
Wang Lang shook his head and said, "I don't know, tell everyone to prepare for defense." ”
When Lin Huo heard this, he didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly organized the team, nervously waiting for the unknown enemy.
"Titicaca!"
A twenty-chestnut-long red centipede appeared on a plant in front of it, and looking at the centipede's dense legs, everyone felt their scalps tingle.
However, to their horror, with the appearance of this first centipede, countless centipedes crawled out of the grass.
These centipedes gathered together, arching themselves from time to time, and two mouthparts like pincers, make people shudder to look at.
When Wang Lang saw this scene, his face turned pale with fright, and he shouted, "Everyone run!" ”
After the soldiers reacted, they did not hesitate to pull their legs and run wildly.
And when the centipedes saw their prey fleeing, they chased after everyone at a fast speed, which was not a few points slower than that of humans.
The people who fled in the wilderness did not dare to delay for a moment, and ran for more than twenty minutes in one breath before throwing off the group of terrifying creatures.
Tired and out of breath, the crowd sat on the ground, gasping for air.
"Check to see if you're left behind." Wang Lang said breathlessly.
When Lin Huo heard this, he got up from the ground, counted the number of people, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Wang Lang: "There are no ones left behind, they are all here." ”
Wang Lang nodded and said, "You can't stay in this place for a long time, get out of here quickly." ”
Lin Huo looked around, frowned and said, "Lang, we don't seem to have been here, are we going by mistake?" ”
Wang Lang was stunned when he heard this, and also looked at the direction around him, his heart sank, and in a panic, the team had lost its way.
Through the dense foliage, Wang Lang observed the direction of the sun, which was already in the west, and if he wanted to go back, he could only move along the east.
"Don't panic, as long as we go east, we can always go back, now let's get out of here, I don't know if those things will chase after us." Wang Lang pretended to be calm and said.
