The night was calmer than they expected, and the moonlight after a long rain was extraordinarily bright, gently covering the water like milk, and casting a faint white halo.

The four of them were careful and stayed up until midnight, and there was no movement, so they simply relaxed their minds and went to sleep.

Only Cheng Cheng, who was the most sleepy on weekdays, tossed and turned, tossing and turning, so he came to the deck alone, looked at the moon in a daze, and muttered in a low voice: "Now that even Ah Qi has been promoted to silver, and I am still stuck in the bronze, full of crane tail, won't I have to drag the back of Baihua City in the future?" ”

Thinking of this, he sighed again and again, and looked sad.

Suddenly, a string of ripples rippled in the reeds on the shore, as if something was swimming in the reeds, and when I looked closely, it was the crocodile that had escaped two days ago!

Immediately excited, quietly touched the past.

After many dealings, he knew that as long as he robbed this crocodile, he would definitely get a treasure!

So, under the cover of the reeds, he successfully touched the crocodile's side.

"Where to go!"

Cheng Cheng raised two axes and jumped out, so frightened that Li Ergou was suddenly frightened, and he didn't see who jumped out, so he turned around and fled.

The axe fell on it, and it was blocked by the armor, but it cut down the armor.

Li Ergou turned around and wanted to take it, but saw the white-clothed scholar suddenly walk out of the cabin, knowing that it was not his opponent, so he had to give up, give up his armor and flee for his life.

Cheng Cheng took the crocodile armor back to the boat to reward it, and the four of them tried it with their weapons, but none of them could hurt the armor in the slightest.

Ye Bai was overjoyed and said: "Fat man, you really picked up a big treasure, although this treasure armor does not fit, it is not difficult to find a skilled craftsman to help you change it after returning to the town." If you wear the armor on your body, with the power of this armor, you can also break into the tiger's den in Longtan! ”

Cheng Cheng was naturally happy after hearing this, swept away the decadence in the daytime, and proudly held the treasure armor in his arms and slept all night.

In the early morning of the next day, the weather cleared, and the sunshine finally came to this river area again after a long absence, and the river water had receded by half, and the river surface became gentle.

When the ancestor of the saber-toothed crocodile finally couldn't bear the fact that his descendants were bullied repeatedly, and fled with the family of all ages, he found that the four villains had left.

Li Ergou was suddenly grief-stricken, looked at Ronghe opposite and wept: "Erya, it's not that I don't keep my promise, and it's not that I don't want to marry you, it's just that I lost the dowry, how can I have the face to propose to your family?"

I'm afraid that we won't be able to be husband and wife this year, and you will stop complaining about me every day, blame the four thieves, and blame the two of us for having a deep relationship! ”

"Bastard!" The old ancestor suddenly opened his mouth and scolded, "You have been crying in front of me four or five times these days, how can you still have the slightest bit of manliness." Now that the thief has retreated, there is no one to stop you from proposing your relatives, and since you don't even care about your life in order to marry her, how can you be difficult to live without the dowry? ”

"Ancestor, you don't know, the Erya family is very utilitarian, I promised them to send a valuable dowry, if I leave empty-handed, they will definitely not marry Erya to me."

"If there is no dowry, then the little lady will not want to marry you, right?"

"I love Erya with all my heart, until death, I have already made a private life, even if I am poor and white, it is willing to follow me."

"That's not it, although love is about two families, but in the final analysis, it's just a matter between two people, since the two of you have decided, identify each other, promise each other for life, and what else to do? Even the king of heaven can't tear you apart!

Not to mention that the two of you are the right person, even if you are just a poor boy, in this undying love, utilitarian money should give way to love!

Now that the water level of the main river is still falling, the Willow River and the Rong River are about to separate, and you still have one last chance to marry the little lady back. Whether face is important or happiness is important, you can decide for yourself. ”

After the old ancestor finished speaking, he left with the other crocodiles, leaving only Li Ergou by the river.

Li Ergou stared blankly at the other side of the Rong River, unable to make up his mind, maybe it had been looking at it for a long time, and there was a hallucination in front of him, and the person who had been thinking about it for a long time was smiling at it on the other side of the river.

"Erya, I'm here!"

An unprecedented courage poured into its body, gritted its teeth, jumped through the river, and although it was empty-handed, it swam firmly towards the other side of the river.

A leaf flat boat goes up against the waves, the river surface gradually becomes wide, flat, after the rain, the green mountains are like washing, the new bamboo on both sides of the bank is stacked with green, the ape can't stop crying, the birds sing endlessly, under the autumn light of the early sunshine after the rain, presents a lively and extraordinary scene.

Suddenly, two cliffs appeared in front of them, one on the left and one on the right side of the river, forming a natural pass, and within the pass, the fog was so thick that even the sunlight could not shine into it, and it was particularly gloomy.

In stark contrast to the brilliant sunny sky outside, it is as if two worlds are separated by a cliff.

Gusts of wind blew out of the pass, mingled with the sound of ghosts crying and howling, as if there were ten million demons whispering and roaring inside.

Ye Bai knew that the Poisonous Mist Valley had arrived.

Looking at the cliff top connected like a giant beast with a big mouth open, Ye Bai had a bad premonition, and said to the other three: "Ahead is the Poisonous Fog Valley, according to the "Brief History of Wild Monsters", the Poisonous Fog Valley is not only poisonous in the fog, but also a lot of strange wild monsters, most of them are poisonous, few people who go in can come out alive, we must play with the spirit of twelve, otherwise Qianqian did not find it, but put ourselves in." ”

"Hmm."

The other three nodded earnestly in uncommon agreement.

Paddle the oars, the boat continued on its way, past the pass, and gradually into the depths of the mist, before soon vanishing.

In the canyon, the trees on both sides of the river are luxuriant, and the fallen trees are piled up and rotting like mud, and the bones of many wild monsters are buried in the middle.

There are many wild monsters in it, there are glowing fish lying at the bottom of the river, strange snakes with two heads hanging upside down on the branches of the trees stretching out to the surface of the river, and from time to time there is the sound of fierce beasts trampling dead leaves.

The four of them hid in the cabin and did not dare to go out, and walked in a low-key manner, the deeper the fog became, so big that the road ahead could no longer be seen clearly, and the air became more and more humid and smelly, and several people began to cough and vomit.

Ye Bai finally figured out why these mist were poisonous, and said, "It seems that these are not real mist, but miasma!" ”

"What is miasma?" Cheng Cheng didn't understand.

Ye Bai explained: "Miasma is the poisonous gas generated after the decay of animals and plants, probably because the forest here is abundant, suitable for the survival of wild monsters, and there are many natural deaths, and the dark and humid temperature here is still high, which produces the most suitable conditions for the fermentation of miasma, and it has accumulated in this canyon over the years." ”

Baili Tu Su frowned after hearing this, and said, "Now that there is a miasma around here, and we can't even see the road ahead, how can we go about finding Huahua?" ”

Ye Bai also looked embarrassed when he heard this, but what made him even more worried was not only that.

He had lived in the mountains and forests before, and he had a certain understanding of miasma, and knew that this thing did not necessarily mean qi, and that there was something even more terrible hidden in it - mosquitoes, swarms of mosquitoes!

Places with carrion and filth are the most likely to give birth to and provoke mosquitoes, because these mosquitoes have devoured carrion, often carrying terrible germs, and after humans and animals are bitten, they will be infected and sick, this disease is very common in Africa and subtropical regions, the Italians call it 'Yin Feng', and in China it is called 'malaria'.

Malaria is a very terrible disease, which can be complicated by anemia, splenomegaly, liver and kidney failure and other diseases, and if not treated in time, it can be life-threatening.

Just when Ye Bai was worried, the boat suddenly received a violent impact, and the four of them were startled, and immediately came to the deck to investigate, and when they came out, they were frightened by the situation in front of them.
