"Xiao Su! You little devil, don't poke around with a stick! I stabbed the rat's nest just now, and if you poke a hornet's nest later, we will all have to suffer with you. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Bai Jiansheng criticized.

"Yes! Captain, I'm afraid that we'll be in trouble if we step on the snake's nest. Su Cheng laughed.

"Still laughing? I don't know what to expect later? It's better to pay attention, everyone. Seeing that the road ahead was getting more and more dangerous, Xiao Wu couldn't help but become more and more worried, "Captain! Are we going to keep going? ”

"Of course! This is just the beginning, and the expedition is far from over. If we can't grasp more information now, and when the time comes to suppress bandits, we will not be able to make correct judgments and deal with them, and we will bring even greater sacrifices to the troops. ”

The comrades said no more, they understood that they were not going on an expedition or playing, they were on a special reconnaissance mission, and the results of the reconnaissance would determine the success or failure of the bandits. The group cheered up and continued to move forward.

A few large trees in front of you blocked the way. There was nothing special about these big trees except that they had few leaves and some strange branch thicknesses, but no one dared to touch them with the lessons they had learned before. Just when everyone was about to pass under a big tree, Lin Yi thought of the scene when Su Cheng touched the tree and fell a snake before, so he joked to Su Cheng who was walking in front: "Little ghost! Don't touch any more trees or anything like that, and put snakes on our heads, we can't afford it. ”

Before Su Cheng could answer, Li Bo hurriedly said to everyone, "Shhhh When everyone had come, Li Bo pointed to the branches of the tree and asked, "What do you all see?" Xue Qiang set up the pergola with his hands, looked left and right up and down for a while, and said, "Nothing?" It's just that the branches are thick and thin, and you don't see anything? Xue Qiang was a little puzzled, there are not many leaves on this tree, and he can see it very clearly, why does Li Bo ask so? The other comrades didn't see anything wrong either.

Li Bo smiled but did not answer, beckoned everyone to stay away from the tree, picked up a stone from the ground, and smashed it into the big tree. Stones: "Smack!" "When it touched the branch, it immediately caused a commotion, and the branch, which had been stationary, changed shape in a blink of an eye, and seemed to grow and move. If there is no wind, will the branches move on their own, will they deform? What's going on?

"Look closely! It's a snake! ”

"Oh my God! It's a snake! What a lot? They're swimming. ”

Thinking of the snakes just now, everyone couldn't help but feel numb in their scalps. After a while, the tree was calm again, and its branches were once again in a thousand forms.

What are they doing? Basking in the sun? Lieber explained that snakes don't like sunny places, so they climb trees and disguise themselves as branches to tempt birds that fly to them.

Oh, my God! It's full of murderous and death threats! Everyone couldn't laugh anymore, and their nerves were tense, for fear of encountering something wrong.

Everyone walked cautiously for a while, and basically everyone was able to use a stick to pick off a few snakes that stood in the way or were a threat to themselves. Most of these snakes are venomous snakes such as kraits, silver kraits, and cobras, and they either hide in the grass, or hover between the bluestones, or coil on the side of the road, stretching out their little heads, spitting letters, and attacking at any time, or simply lying across the road, waiting for you to step on them, so as to bite you back.

Soon, they came to the legendary third level, which was even more sinister. There was a huge ball in front of it, and judging from the dead branches exposed on the top of the ball, it can be concluded that it was supported by three dead trees more than one person tall and arranged in a triangular shape, and the appearance of the ball was like a pine bark hu, and it looked like a reddish-brown, huge, "papier-mΓ’chΓ© lantern" that "grew" on the ground.

"Mom! What is this? I've never seen it in my life. Xue Qiang shouted.

"Lieber, come and have a look! What is this? Su Cheng excitedly beckoned to Li Bo. Everyone gathered around this huge sphere, looking at it and talking about it, but no one dared to touch it and break it, and no one knew what would happen?

"Don't touch it!" Lieber gave a warning, came to the front, and circled around it twice, not knowing what it was?

"Lieber! Even you, an old mountain dweller, have something you haven't seen before? That's a horrible thing! Comrades! Stay away from it. Bai Jiansheng ordered. Xiao Wu and Xue Qiang retreated some distance one after another, waiting for Li Bo to explain.

"This thing, I look like an ant's nest." Lieber said after researching.

"How is that possible? I've seen ant nests, and they're just a little bigger at most. Su Cheng gestured with his hand on his chest.

"The ant nests I see are not like this, they seem to be made of mud, especially before heavy rain or flooding, the ants will move to a higher place and build a mud nest." Lin Yidao.

"Layman, huh? What you see is the most ordinary ant, Su Cheng is talking about the nest of mountain ants, this thing, I often see it in the mountains, but I still don't believe that this is the nest of mountain ants, this ...... That's too big, right? Qin Yongsheng said.

"Then let's poke it with a stick and see that everything is clear?" Su Cheng wanted to know what this thing was, said eagerly, and picked up the stick and posed as a poke. This made Xiao Wu anxious, "Don't mess around!" Before, we stabbed the rat's nest and almost got bitten by the rat, and we didn't know what dangerous things would happen when this bucket went down. ”

"I'm going to stab ......" Su Cheng desperately stabbed the stick at the ball, and everyone "Ah! It was too late to stop the sound, so he instinctively hid his face and dodged, and looked at the spherical shape through the palm of his hand, waiting for the doom to happen.

Contrary to their expectations, nothing happened. Su Cheng propped the stick on the ground and was laughing there "hehe", looking mischievous.

"Su Cheng! Are you kidding me? It's scared to death! Xiao Wu scolded.

"Look at you in a hurry, the captain said not to stab you, how dare I disobey the order?"

Li Bo picked up a small branch from the ground, and after obtaining Bai Jiansheng's consent, he said to everyone: "You still have to stab it, but you can't take such a big stick and destroy other people's homes, others are going to fight hard with you, this thing does tickle and won't cause any big trouble." To be on the safe side, Lieber told the others to stay away from this thing.

When there was no one around, Li Bo slowly plunged the small branch into it, and then slowly pulled it out, and the little girl on the stick really brought out a small piece of broken skin, leaving a hole the size of an index finger on the surface of the sphere.

The secret has finally been solved. Soon, a red head poked out of the hole, and the two horns of the head were shaking constantly, looking left and right, as if they were scouting for some enemy situation? Seeing that there was no movement, he shrank his body out of the hole, and walked around outside for a while, and several of the same things came out of the hole one after another, all of them were red-headed and black-bodied......

Li Bo beckoned everyone to come over and watched cautiously.

Xiao Wu asked curiously, "What is this?" It has a red head and a black body, looks like a giant fly, and has antennae on its head. ”

"Ouch! Not like flies, like giant bees. Xue Qiang said.

"I look like a big cowfly, Captain! You say yes, right? Su Chengdao.
