Chapter 152: Arriving at the Destination
Life and death are impermanent.
Experienced adventurers are already accustomed to life and death, maybe the companion who was still talking and laughing just now will die the next moment, and maybe the next person who will not see the sun the next day is himself.
Every time you go hunting in the jungle, you are gambling with your life.
If you win the bet, you will be able to relax for a few months without thinking about anything, and your family will be able to live comfortably for a few years. If you lose the bet, it's a big deal to lose your life, it's a pity that the virtuous and capable mother-in-law and the cute little daughter who is only four years old......
The thick beard is even more unkempt because he has lived in the jungle for more than half a month, and he feels that he may not be able to go back this time.
Originally, every time he hunted, he was occasionally in the mood to shave his beard with a knife and clean up his image, but this time he was not in any mood.
There is a problem with the two companions around me.
In fact, there are not only these two, but the previous companions also seem to have problems, but they are all unlucky or weak and hung up halfway.
Lao Hu can now see that Wen Sha, as the initiator of the team, doesn't care about the life and death of other people at all, and the few people who join the team also have other purposes.
Among the two remaining companions, the tall "Wind Thorn" is the person of the famous force "Angry Red Dragon" in Lie'an Town, and the long-faced man "Wang Da", who has always been low-key and silent, although he doesn't know what force he belongs to, but Lao Hu accidentally found that he secretly left an indicator mark on the tree during his vigil one day, which is a sharp arrow through two overlapping triangles, which must be guiding someone.
Lao Hu began to regret a little because of the high remuneration and took over this task with a fever, and thought that after doing it this time, he could accompany his wife and children to live a few years in peace, and sure enough, there was no good thing about pie in the sky!
This time things are quite dangerous, he has been caught in the whirlpool and can't get out!
Regardless of which side wins in the final battle, he is quite dangerous.
If Wen Sha wins, she is afraid that she will use some kind of situation and power to trap everyone fiercely, and she may not be particularly merciful because he has followed all the way, and may even use him as a bait to attract those big forces.
And if the big forces that were tracked down behind finally won, in order to keep the secret, they would definitely not leave an insider like him, and it would be inevitable to kill him.
Lao Hu didn't think about escaping alone, but whether he could escape the pursuit of Wen Sha, who was amazingly powerful, not to mention, and in such a dangerous jungle, as long as he encountered any demonic beast on the road, he would die as a high-level swordsman, and he would die more happily than following the team.
After thinking about it, Lao Hu finally set his eyes on Lin Yunxi.
At the beginning, he, like others, thought that Lin Yunxi and Wen Sha had known each other for a long time, but after observing for a while on the way, he felt that this was not the case, and carefully knocked on the side, he knew that Lin Yunxi had only met Wen Sha in Lie'an Town, and he had not known each other before.
And he found that although Lin Yunxi was indifferent and wary of strangers, his personality was actually not cold and difficult to get along with. At least give her something to eat, and she will politely say thank you...... Although it is expressionless.
Wen Sha valued Lin Yunxi very much, and Lao Hu felt that it was because she must have used Lin Yunxi's place, so she behaved so warmly and kindly.
Unconsciously, Lao Hu already had a strong fear of Wen Sha, and he always felt that under her seemingly normal smiling appearance, she was staring at everyone with a pair of cold predator eyes, which made him shudder.
"Lao Hu, ready to go!"
Lao Hu, who was resting on the root of the big tree and pretending to sleep, opened his eyes, only to see that the wind thorn was getting up to greet everyone, next to Wang Da was silently sorting out the equipment, not far away Lin Yunxi was standing quietly in a black cloak, her beautiful little face was still expressionless, and the slender and tall figure of Wen Sha in front jumped on a high ground, with a happy smile on her face, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, she stretched out her hand and pointed ahead: "We are almost there!" ”
Coming? Lao Hu's body suddenly trembled.
"Lao Hu, what's wrong with you? It can't be sick! ”
Windthorn looked at him and shouted.
Lao Hu shook his head and smiled reluctantly: "I'm fine!" ”
Giving him a puzzled look, Windthorn stopped talking. When he saw everyone get up and leave, the wind thorn quietly shook his hand, and a small flying arrow was inserted into the big tree not far away, and the purple silk spike swayed lightly with the wind.
And where Wang Da left, a sharp arrow from behind the big tree passed through two overlapping triangular markers, pointing in the direction of several people's advances.
Wen Sha stood on the high hill and looked into the distance, the light waves in the peach blossom eyes flowed, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing an inexplicable smile.
……………………………………………………
Descending along the steep rock crestic to the depths of the canyon, looking at the sky above that had almost become a line, as well as the dark and lush environment of the surrounding forests, Lin Yunxi frowned and avoided a dark red strange vine that was wriggling and winding around her, such a remote and strange place, no wonder Wen Sha said that others could not find it.
Seeing the frowning and fearful looks of several people, Wen Sha opened his mouth and smiled: "It's not far from the target, just a few miles ahead!" ”
Windthorn pretended to be casual and said, "I heard we're looking for a ruin?" If there's a treasure in there, you'll only give us a few hundred gold coins, that's too little, right?! ”
Probably about to reach the destination, Wen Sha waved his hand in a good mood: "Actually, I don't know what's inside!" If you find something, whether it's treasure or whatever, I'll pay you more than that! ”
Windthorn pursed his lips slightly, but did not speak again.
The five of them struggled to advance in the lush entanglement of trees and vines, Lin Yunxi was the shortest, and the others were rotten leaves that had sunk most of their calves, and when they arrived at her, they were knee-deep, and it was the most difficult to walk. Lin Yunxi just wanted to jump up to the branch to walk, but Wen Sha pulled him and whispered a warning, saying that the higher it is, the more dangerous it is, and it must not go beyond the range of the forest shade.
Lin Yunxi frowned slightly, she also felt a strange feeling here, as if there was always something around her staring at her.
She wanted to summon the War Guards to open the way, but Lin Yunxi looked at the dense staggering of trees and vines around her, she was afraid that it would be difficult for the War Guards with extremely heavy metal bodies to advance in this environment, and the momentum was so great that it would be easy to provoke other demonic beasts, and it would be even more troublesome when the time came, so she dispelled the idea and continued to trek forward with difficulty.
Lin Yunxi inadvertently raised her head, and saw that there was a huge gray-brown vine with waist thickness beside Lao Hu, who was holding a shield and a thick-backed slashing knife in front of her, which seemed to be writhing slightly weirdly, and she couldn't help but exclaim: "Old Hu, be careful!" ”
Lao Hu's reaction was also fast, and he didn't want to swing the knife to protect his body and retreat directly!
"Whew! ……”
The thick-backed chopping knife was slashing at the gray-brown writhing vines, and suddenly a stream of dark green juice came out, and the thick vines quickly twisted and withdrew, as if frightened!
"Bang Bang Bang Bang ......"
Several people were stunned and looked at the thick forest vines that covered the sky and the sun around them, and the wriggling and contraction of the sky instantly decreased by more than half, and their hearts were all such a big "slot"!
The thought of them just passing through the strange vines that wriggled like countless giant pythons made goosebumps fall to the ground. After a moment, Feng Thorn swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked around in horror: "Could it be that the vines here just now are all ...... Alive? ”
Wen Sha pushed aside the dense weeds that were more than half a person tall and beckoned the others to move on, and said in a relaxed tone: "It's okay, but these vines aren't really threatening...... As long as it doesn't get out of the woods. ”
Looking at the puzzled faces of the others, Wen Sha explained: "The vines here basically do not pose a danger to the living creatures on the ground, but are full of aggression to the sky, as long as you don't look for death and jump into the sky, just treat it as a normal and harmless vine!" ”
Having said that, after walking forward for a while, they began to see this kind of thick gray-brown vine again, and everyone was still trembling in their hearts and carefully dodging.
After all, Lao Hu slashed down in a hurry just now, and he didn't even cut off the vines, but some juice came out. And that kind of wound may not be as good as a vine that does not know how to grow.
Lin Yunxi threw a check at the vines, but didn't get any feedback. She looked at the small map in confusion, only to find that the surrounding area was densely covered with red.
An incredible thought came to Lin Yunxi's mind, could it be that these vines were actually just tiny branches, not even the trunk? The main part of the vine was beyond the scope of Lin Yunxi's minimap, so she couldn't check any information about the vine!
it!
Lin Yunxi couldn't help but be shocked, what a big guy this must be!
……
Seeing that the canyon in front of them finally revealed rocky cliffs, a small lake, and a long-lost sand and gravel ground, except for Wen Sha, several people couldn't wait to speed up their pace and leave this strange jungle.
Lin Yunxi also couldn't help but speed up, although she knew that it might be really harmless, but the thought of walking among the countless wriggling vine tentacles of the guy who didn't know how huge it was, made her heart a little furious.
Walking all the way to the small lake outside the jungle, seeing that a few people were still a little nervous, Wen Sha smiled and said, "Let's eat here and rest first!" ”
"Here?"
Wind Thorn looked at the opposite side of the small lake in front of him and the end of the canyon, where there was bare sand and gravel ground except for a deep lake, and he couldn't help but look at Wen Sha with dissatisfaction: "Didn't you say that it would be there soon?" What about the ruins? There is clearly nothing here! ”
"Who said it didn't arrive?"
Wen Sha ignored Wind Thorn's rude tone, and a happy smile appeared on his face: "Ruins, right here!" ”
Following her gaze, everyone's eyes looked at the lake next to her, which rippled slightly, but looked dark in the depths of the middle!
