Chapter 418: Poisonous Mushrooms

The scorching bonfire gradually went out in the second half of the night, and the icy cold wind blew into the tent through the cracks, and I was awakened by the cold.

I couldn't help but light a cigarette at the corner of my mouth to banish the cold, but I didn't expect that outside the canvas across the tent, there were several dark green points of light shining.

This strange scene instantly sent me into a cold sweat, for I could clearly remember the same place where I had first found the seven bodies in the dirt of the ravine.

After lifting the tent, the scene in front of me can be described as weird.

These dark green points of light are actually emitted by mushrooms that grow from the ground.

The rhizome of this mushroom is the thickness of an adult's finger, but the umbel-shaped cap on it is much larger than that of a normal mushroom.

And the places that emit glowing green are the rounded edges of the mushroom caps.

I was shocked by what I saw, I had never seen a glowing mushroom before, and the most strange thing was that the mushrooms grew in the same soil that had covered the corpse.

It's as if these mushrooms are growing so big with the help of the nutrients of corpses.

It lasted until the third day, and this time I realized that what the old man had said was true.

After ordinary people come here, it is really like encountering some kind of ghost hitting the wall, and they will completely lose their way in the mountains and forests.

Seeing that the dry food on my body was about to run out, my mood became more and more irritable, and the bones were still neatly arranged in the distance of the tent.

The hollow eye sockets seemed to mock me on purpose, making strange noises as the damp cold wind peeked through the cracks in the bones.

It wasn't until this night that I ran out of dry food, and I had to tighten my belt to reduce the hunger in my stomach.

At night, the bonfire gradually went out, but I couldn't sleep in the tent, and my mind kept recalling the nightmares I had on the bus before going to the Taoist temple.

"Do people really have an afterlife, reincarnation repeats itself, and it is ordinary."

I want to unravel the obsession of hiding the secret behind the two black and white photos, has it always been from the concern of my previous life.

I finally understood why at a depth of 800 meters underground, Xiao Nan would fall into her arms and cry silently.

But I held her all the time, not daring to whisper a word, until her life gradually withered.

I had no sleep that night, not only because of hunger, but also because of the mysteries that had been rolling wildly in my mind for the past few days, and I couldn't sleep peacefully at all.

When I woke up in the morning, looking at the mushrooms on the ground that no longer glowed green, I gradually felt an irresistible temptation in my heart.

The dry food he was carrying had been completely eaten yesterday, and the intense hunger made him gradually develop an appetite for the mushrooms that grew in the corpse.

I tried to restrain my consciousness, but the hunger kept multiplying until the last knot on my belt was tightened, and I experienced for the first time how hard it was to be hungry.

If you don't eat, you'll definitely starve to death here, so it's better to be a full ghost and fight to the death.

The intense hunger gradually overwhelmed my vigilance against the poisonous mushrooms, and I looked at the snow-white mushrooms in front of me, which were a few points larger than the palm of my hand, and finally couldn't help but bite into them.

At first, the taste was okay, but I didn't expect it to become more and more bitter later, and I couldn't even swallow it.

I couldn't help but vomit it all in one go, and I couldn't help but start to regret it a little.

It wasn't until my legs began to get a little paralyzed that I sat down in the jungle and looked up at the green sky and realized that I must have been poisoned.

There are many kinds of toadstools in Xiangxi, Yunnan, and the more famous one is "Seeing Hand Blue".

And although I don't know what kind of mushroom I just eaten, it is obviously not a normal mushroom that grows from the pile of corpses.

The scene in front of me gradually became distorted, and it was as if I could see the clouds falling from the sky, which was similar to the symptoms of accidentally ingesting poisonous mushrooms in the newspaper.

Suddenly, my hands began to tremble, and even my mouth and nose were foaming at the mouth, and my vision became more and more blurry.

There was even a little bit of earth-shaking change, and many ruins and ruins inserted in the soil appeared around them, and a tall stone monument emerged from half of the soil.

But I was trembling and couldn't speak, and I could barely make any other movements except for the corners of my mouth that kept foaming at the mouth.

The consciousness in his mind gradually became clearer, and the tall stone monument in front of him was particularly eye-catching in the ravine.

It wasn't until this time that I suddenly realized that the expedition team that the old man was talking about and the ruins of the ancient kingdom of Yelang that he saw could be these hallucinations that appeared in front of me?

I felt like I had figured out something all of a sudden, and I looked at the twisted ruins around me, as if I was no longer in the ravine just now.

Instead, it appeared in the ruins of an ancient monument.

Everywhere there was a scene of decay and decay, and the stone tablet that the old man had mentioned was quietly nestled in front of him.

It is full of dense small seal characters, which makes people feel a little numb and dazzled.

I tried hard to translate the contents of the stele, but I felt that no matter how close I got there, I couldn't read the words clearly.

I knew that I must have had a side effect after ingesting poisonous mushrooms by mistake, and I was still in the ravine in broad daylight, but my spirit seemed to have drifted away from knowing where I had gone.

It was only at this moment that his heart suddenly calmed down, could it be that the ruins of the ancient country that the old man said at the beginning were precisely because of the hallucinations that arose in his mind after eating these fluorescent mushrooms by mistake.

I couldn't help but close my eyes and wipe the foam off my mouth with my trembling hands, feeling more and more that this guess was very likely.

However, after ingesting poisonous mushrooms by mistake, everyone's illusions are different, so how can there be exactly the same strange experience.

My heart trembled, and I felt more and more frightened, whether this question was from the mushroom or in the human heart.

In other words, everyone who wants to explore the ruins, after eating the mushrooms, will have a picture of the ruins in their minds.

This is directly related to what people are thinking in their hearts and what kind of environment they are in.

As my body trembled more and more, I finally felt a pain in my abdomen, and I rolled on the ground in pain.

I can't help but recall many ways to induce vomiting and self-help after accidentally ingesting poison.

In military training, the most common thing is to eat flour or mud and soapy water, and these memories of decades ago rush wildly in the mind as if they were instructed to do so.

I grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground, and I didn't care if it was mixed with leaves and insects, and I shoved it into my mouth and chewed and swallowed.

Until I feel intense discomfort and nausea in my stomach and throat.

I finally vomited out of my mouth all the shredded mushrooms that I had chewed before before I could digest.

The pungent smell accompanied by stomach acid spurting from my throat and I ended up tossing myself half to death, but I also saved my life.
