Chapter 190: The Aftermath of the Catastrophe
I don't know how long later, Ling Feng opened his eyes, but what he saw was the roots of a towering tree, surrounded by tall grass, small crustacean insects on the ground, and a pleasant birdsong or two from the forest, telling him that this was the depths of the primeval jungle of South America. www.biquge.info He was face down against the ground, cold and wet, and the rain seemed to have subsided, but the rain did not stop, and there were cold raindrops running into his neck. Turning his head, Gao Zhen and Jin Yilin squatted aside, it seemed that he woke himself up, there was light in the sky, and the wind and rain had turned into an oblique drizzle, like the willows in the south of the Yangtze River, and the breeze was blowing, but at this moment, Ling Feng couldn't say disgust when he saw the rain. He asked lightly, "Where are we now?" What about the invincible mountains and the heavenly heroes? As soon as the voice came out, I found that there was a tearing roar in the storm, and the voice was hoarse.
Gao Zhen replied: "I don't know, we were scattered, fortunately your bag hooked the wood, so it didn't sink, we were the closest to you, so we grabbed your log, and we floated in the flood peak for about three hours." His voice was like a broken drum.
Ling Feng felt extremely tired, and he couldn't even use the strength to raise his hand, so he had already vomited out all the things he had eaten in the wind and waves, and grabbed the safety rope tightly, and his strength was already overdrawn. Tianxiong said: "Do you know how long you have been sleeping? You've been sleeping for twenty-four hours. They both rolled over, panting as if they had pulled three cows.
Ling Feng looked at the red eyes of the two of them and asked, "One day and one night!" Then you ......"
Tianxiong smiled helplessly: "I also want to sleep, but there is no way, this jungle is bigger than the jungle in front, the forest is deeper than the front, it is estimated that the sun illumination rate on the ground is less than one percent, and I don't know how many beasts are hidden inside." In this day, there are already more than a dozen things of all sizes coveting us, as long as I lie down, no one can live. ”
Ling Feng looked at Tianxiong's gentleman's hair was messy, his face was full of dirt, and after a few days, there were a lot more wrinkles, his face was haggard, and his eyes were sleepy, quite like an old foreign beggar who had been scavenging for a long time, he couldn't help but be humble in his heart, and said lightly: "You saved my life, I ......"
Tianxiong shook his head and waved his hand: "You saved me first, I saved you again, maybe you will save me again." In this jungle, one person can't survive at all, and we can only rely on each other for our lives, so don't say anything about who saves whom. If you're feeling better now, allow me to rest for a while, and if you don't wake up, I really can't hold on. With that, Sean lay on the ground, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he didn't plan to open them again, and muttered in his mouth: "I have eaten all the things in your bag, and the bark of the tree on the left seems to be able to be gnawed, I have already tried, while you are still gnawing ......" His voice became smaller and smaller, and his breathing quickly became even and thick.
Looking at Tianxiong who fell into a deep sleep, Ling Feng moved his sore muscles and bones, and he was barely able to get up, so he stayed beside Tianxiong, sitting on his knees on the wetland, looking at the luggage bag that was thrown in a mess, and he didn't know what to say to this silver-haired Tianxiong. He spent four or five of the most difficult days with them, and saved himself, and waited all day without sleep; But he turned his bag into a mess and ate all the food, perhaps unlike the English gentleman he understood. The sky was already bright, but the surroundings were still terrifying, Ling Feng guarded a small area around Tianxiong, and thought of Shi Qing and them, in such a great flood, I don't know if they are safe. He is not worried about the Alpine Invincible at all, because the Alpine Invincible is the kind of person who is naturally suitable for survival in the primeval jungle, he is a fierce beast and belongs to the primeval forest; But Shiqing and Ulan are not quite the same. I don't want to be like us, and I've been trained to survive in the jungle since I was a child. They are often at a loss in the face of unfamiliar flora and fauna, as well as the unpredictable environment, and need someone to call the shots, someone who can guide them.
asked Jin Yilin, who was also exhausted on the side, and said: "Yilin, I didn't expect our trip to be like this, I'm really a little sorry for you, I would have listened to you if I knew it, I shouldn't have stepped over the fence!" ”
And Jin Yilin on the side said: "Captain, don't talk about this, if it is deliberately arranged by God, then we should face it, only by accepting the cruel experience, our ability will grow!" ”
Ling Feng thought faintly for a while, only to feel unbearable hunger in his belly, looked at the tree that Tianxiong said, and decided to give it a try to gnaw on the bark.
"You can eat this, don't worry! It's just a little astringent! Jin Yilin said.
The tree is about 20 meters high, but its body is only waist-thick, from the root to the crown, without any branches, from a distance, it really looks like a large umbrella. The bark of the tree looks very dense, the skin is gray-green, with horizontal circles, it looks like a coconut tree no matter how you look at it, but the leaves are like large feathers, and from the ground, a leaf is at least four or five meters long.
Jin Yilin looked at her, then tilted her head again, and changed her posture several times, but the trunk of this tree was thicker than a human waist, and no matter how Ling Feng changed her position, it was still a mouse biting a turtle - she couldn't find a place to put her mouth down. Ling Feng was about to cut a piece of bark down, but the knife didn't know where it had fallen, and the rest of the things in the baggage were almost consumed except for the tent, and he really couldn't find any tools to use.
Ling Feng tried to hang the trunk with his fingernails, and sure enough, the trunk looked hard, but it was actually very soft, and with a little force, the bark and trunk would fall off.
Put it in your mouth and taste it, it is neither bitter nor sweet, there is no peculiar smell, it feels a little dry, eating it in your mouth, Ling Feng found that it is a bit like eating breadcrumbs, he thought to himself, is this the legendary bread tree? When he was studying at the college, he had heard that the trunk of a tree had a lot of starch, and the locals ate this tree as food, calling it the bread tree. I ate part of it, only ate Lingfeng's mouth was dry, so I scraped a lot of tree chips, came to the river, used a tool to hold the flood, put it aside to clarify, take clean water and boil, and then use water to make the tree chips into a mud ball, this time to eat again, the mouth is sweet, and I really have the feeling of eating rice porridge.
Ling Feng and Jin Yilin ate a pound of tree chips, so they didn't feel hungry a little, the rain was even lighter, it seemed that it was about to clear up, Ling Feng stood under the big tree, and he couldn't feel the rain falling, only the rolling reddish-brown river reminded him that in some places, it had changed from a dense forest to an ocean.
Ling Feng and Jin Yilin walked around, the place chosen by Tianxiong was very good, there was no grass and fungi growing on the ground, and there were ten trees and grasses on each side, which was simply a natural platform, and I don't know if it was Tianxiong who chose it or they were washed up in this place by the flood. One thing is very strange, in the jungle before, there were very few stones, but here there is a lot of rubble, and you can kick a fist-sized stone in a few steps, it seems that this place is not only higher than other places, but even the geological structure is different from the rest of the jungle. As Ling Feng was thinking, the grass in the jungle in front of him "brushed" loudly, and a large wild animal that Ling Feng had never seen before ran out from the depths of the dense forest!
