As soon as the expedition entered the dead river, it was attacked by a large swarm of giant mosquitoes. Fortunately, none of the team members are rookies, and they have taken out their housekeeping skills to kill mosquitoes.

I've only seen Long Xiaoyan practice boxing before, but I didn't expect his greatest ability to be magical, and it was very simple and rude, that is, he kept throwing ghost fireballs. He is full of yin power, and his techniques are also flexible, and the ghost fireball in his palm is thrown out as if he doesn't want money. The head was also okay, and each giant mosquito thrown by the ghost fireball instantly began to burn, making a "crackling" popping sound, and turned into a ball of green light falling from the sky, and finally filled with a burst of scorching smell.

The big stupid cow Lu Dian was even more unreasonable, grabbing the stone tablet he had been carrying on his shoulders with both hands and swinging it frantically, his mouth was still roaring, like a mad cow. The giant mosquitoes that were photographed by the stele were all photographed as flat specimens and stuck to the stele.

I had a chance to look at Lu Dian's stone stele carefully on the way, and it was Lu Dian's own name engraved on it. He even used his tombstone as a weapon, and it was absolutely amazing!

"Pseudo-Niang" Liu Yuxin no longer pretended to be delicate at this time, but showed her surprisingly accurate shooting accuracy. Originally, she held a short crossbow in each hand, but this only ensured that the two arrows would be fired at the same time when she struck. Once she fell into a protracted battle, in order to ensure the rate of fire, she only used a short crossbow, and switched to shooting with one hand and loading arrows with the other, and the arrows were sure to hit, and there was no omission.

Ximen Ji seemed to be inconspicuous, but the yin banner in his hand kept shaking, and his mouth kept reciting some kind of awkward incantation. The giant mosquitoes facing him were as if they were drunk, and they lost their sense of direction when they flew, and either fell to the ground in a daze, or simply collided with each other, completely unable to get close to Ximenji's body.

Needless to say, with a shield in my left hand and a knife in my right hand, I cut the giant mosquitoes that flew near in half one by one. The bird meat was a little embarrassed, because he still had to take care of the big lizard he was holding in his hand, so he could only defend with the eagle-headed cane left by Bu Ye with one hand. But the subsequent scene surprised him a little, but at the same time, he completely got out of the predicament.

Have you forgotten that lizards are meant to catch insects and eat them?

The lizard carried a heavy load as an animal, but at this time it also became a member of the battle, with its head held high, and from time to time it ejected its long tongue to stick to a giant mosquito and then roll it back into its mouth. This small battle was like enjoying a sumptuous feast for him!

After a quarter of an hour of fighting, we managed to wipe out this swarm of at least a hundred giant mosquitoes. The ground was full of mosquito carpets, and even the big lizard was so full that it was estimated that it would not need to be fed all day today.

But just after experiencing a small test of giant mosquitoes, our expedition team immediately fell into another headache: getting lost!

After walking forward for an hour, we found that we were back in the battlefield of dead mosquitoes. What's going on? Did you just make a 180-degree turn on the road?

Long Xiaoyan didn't speak, and directly changed the direction and took us on. The road I walked before was relatively densely vegetated, and it is indeed possible that I went around in circles unconsciously.

However, after another hour of walking in a new direction, we arrived at the "Giant Mosquito Cemetery" for the third time!

Long Xiaoyan didn't believe in evil, so he changed to a new direction again and continued to walk, and now he walked in all three directions: left, middle and right. As a result, it was the fourth time to return to the same place.

"What's going on? Is this a labyrinth? Bird Meat couldn't help but complain.

"If you can't do it, let's go back the way you came!" Liu Yuxin also complained.

I didn't want to make a sound, and Ximen Ji had a gloomy face, and I didn't know what his opinion was. But even the big stupid cow who supported Long Xiaoyan the most stopped talking, he kept opening the way in front, and he should be the most tired. The atmosphere in the team immediately became low, and Long Xiaoyan's prestige as the captain was definitely going to be questioned at this moment.

"Yuxin, you fly to a high place to see, is there any safe path?" He still forced his composure and asked Liu Yuxin to go above to do some reconnaissance.

But Liu Yuxin only flew up for a short distance and then descended. She frowned, "There is a thick fog everywhere, and I can't see where there is a road." Besides, if you fly too high in this kind of place, I'm afraid that there will be hidden monsters in the upper layer, which is very unsafe! ”

"What the hell went wrong?" The big stupid cow kept scratching his head, this kind of weird thing was really a bit brain-burning for his IQ.

I proposed: "Otherwise, we may consider lining up the ranks and increasing the radius of the march, so that it will not be easy to make an inexplicable turn in the middle of the road." ”

Long Xiaoyan shook his head: "That's too unsafe!" The more you encounter this strange situation, the more you must pay attention to maintaining a tight formation, the line is too scattered, and the flanks are easy to attack! ”

"Alas, it's a pity that this guy's nose doesn't work! If only it were a proboscis dog! "Bird meat didn't actually come up with any good way, so he casually complained about holding the big lizard.

But Simon Jie distilled a good idea from this sentence, although he was not pleased to compare him to a proboscis dog.

I saw him pick up a dead giant mosquito from the ground, put it under his nose and sniff it violently, and then threw the dead mosquito away.

"Who spotted the first mosquito first?" He asked.

"Xiao Zhai!"

"From which direction?" Simon turned his gaze to me.

I reached out and pointed to my left hand side and said, "It should be there." I remember there was a stone platform in the direction they came. ”

Simon took a few steps in the direction of my finger and looked up, twitching his nose at the same time. His ability is the same as that of my master, belonging to the "dog's nose".

"We'll get lost, but mosquitoes won't." Ximen Ji said to Long Xiaoyan, "Although I don't know what will be inside the mosquito's nest, at least I should be able to get out of this fog." ”

Long Xiaoyan nodded in agreement with Ximen Ji's opinion, because he couldn't do anything better. Although he is arrogant, he is not stubborn and self-serving, and he can't listen to other people's opinions.

As a result, the expedition team changed direction again, and along the direction from which the giant mosquito flew, it broke through all the way and launched the fourth breakthrough.

The stone platform wasn't high, it wasn't huge, but it was a big obstacle, and we had just passed through it on the right side. According to Ximenji's judgment, we should face the difficulties and obstacles this time and forcibly cross the past!

The two ghost cultivators, Big Benniu and Liu Yuxin, jumped onto the stone platform first, and after some reconnaissance, they did not find the enemy. They hung down a sturdy vine from above, and let the remaining four Yin cultivators climb up one by one. The big lizard with the load doesn't have to worry about it at all, because it can climb walls and trees, and if the bird meat is patted on the back, it will jump up on its own, which is much more flexible than humans.

Finally, the stone platform is much drier than the water depression below, and the vegetation is relatively scarce. After tossing for so long after entering the Death Ze, Long Xiaoyan immediately decided to let everyone rest here and prepare to spend the night.

I can't cook on a fire overnight because I can't cook on a fire than on a business road, so I don't have the opportunity to show off my cooking skills. Bird Meat was very frustrated by this, but when he first arrived at this kind of Jedi, everything still had to be arranged by Long Xiaoyan. Everyone hastily ate some dry food and fresh water, and then rested after being hungry.

It's the same when sleeping, and the person who needs to keep vigil is absolutely awake. So, the six team members were divided into three groups, two for vigil and four for rest. There was no day or night, and everyone had to get up and set off after sleeping for two hours.

After a sufficient rest, the expedition was launched again, and crossed the stone platform to the rear. The scenery behind the stone platform is really different from the place we walked before, the terrain here is a little higher, and the feet are all fine sand. We asked Da Ben Niu and Liu Yuxin to go down to explore the road first, and after confirming that it was safe, the army used a natural vine to slip down.

But as soon as he walked out of the stone platform less than a mile, the big stupid cow who was opening the road in front suddenly stopped. Although his brain is not very bright, he still has a keen instinct for danger.

"There's a figure up ahead." He turned his head to Long Xiaoyan and said.

"How many?" Long Xiaoyan asked.

"Just one, sitting on the ground."

Figure? In this dead river, it is not uncommon to meet anything, but it is a rare thing to meet a figure!

Long Xiaoyan also walked to the front row and observed carefully. But Liu Yuxin, who was standing behind her, had the excellent eyesight that an archer should have, and she could see more accurately than the two of them, and suddenly said, "Don't worry, it's just a dead man!" ”

"Dead people?"

When Long Xiaoyan heard this, he had the courage to go over and check it directly. It was indeed a dead man, and a dried corpse, sitting against a large rock. Judging by the armor he was wearing, he should have been a member of another expedition from earlier. But I don't know what kind of accident he suffered to die here?

"How long has this man been dead?" Lu Dian asked.

"I'm afraid it's been half a year, right?" Then the bird meat that came up shook his head and sighed, "It's all shriveled and shrunk like that!" ”

"Nope! Just died! Long Xiaoyan came to a conclusion very firmly.

"How can you judge?"

"No body can survive in the dead for half a year. There are so many scavengers here, it won't take three days to gnaw away a pair of wreckage, and there won't be even bones left! ”

Long Xiaoyan squatted down, pointed to the skin on the corpse that was already clinging to the muscles, and said, "You see, his body is covered with tiny holes like this, as if he has been pricked by needles. Even if I haven't seen this kind of death before, it's easy to guess it now! ”

"Must have been bitten by a mosquito!" Liu Yuxin frowned, and preemptively said the common answer in everyone's hearts.
