The road is full of disasters (5)

After a few days of eating and sleeping in the open, they were about to enter a dense forest shrouded in turbid fog. It's just a shortcut that saves two days of time through this dense forest, not far from the location of the sinkhole. Of course, it is not an easy task to walk through it, and it will take at least more than a day.

When they arrived, it was close to the afternoon, so they rested at the edge of the forest for the night, adjusted their condition, and officially entered the forest the next morning. With the experience of the past, before entering the forest this time, Lu Jingxing took off his deep clothes and wrapped them tightly around Ling Xiao's body to prevent her dress from getting wet with dew.

This place is denser and more expansive than the place where everyone met before, and the surrounding environment is dark and green, and the ancient trees are towering, and there is not the slightest sunlight that seeps in. The ground is full of moss, the air is seriously humid, and all kinds of vines crisscross like nets, coiling and climbing at will. As far as the eye can see, the fog is so thick that there is no end in sight.

Walking through this forest, no matter how superb the people of Yiyue Palace are, they will not be able to fly normally in it, and they need to move forward step by step like other sects. It can be said that it is difficult to walk in this forest, but the people of Yiyue Palace are much easier than other sects, just because they don't have horses in their hands, and it is even more difficult for others to lead horses.

They didn't want to choose this shortcut, but after some thought, the fact of saving people could not be delayed. Time was pressing, and the heads of several sects discussed solemnly together, and finally chose this extremely difficult path, such a large forest, full of dangers, it is inevitable, but sometimes there are trade-offs.

They had given up their absolute safety in exchange for two days of precious time, and for them, time was the most important thing now. As for safety, they are all martial arts practitioners, and even if there will be some crises, they don't care. What really hinders them is the difficulty of the mountain roads.

As we went deeper, the murky fog ahead became thicker and thicker, and wisps of smoke drifted away like firewood smoke. The group did not know how long they had walked, but they did not see the light of day, and they could only vaguely surmise that it seemed to be noon at this moment.

So they stopped to eat something, rested for a while, and then resumed their journey, not wanting to waste any time. After all, it had been too long to delay in the days when their various sects had met, and now they were just trying their best to make up for these losses.

Ling Xiao and Lu Jingxing walked side by side, one foot deep and one shallow, stepping on the fern-overgrown road. After walking for so long, fine sweat oozed from her forehead, and she felt that all her strength was almost gone, and her legs were sore.

This body has been pampered in the past, and even though Ling Xiao has been practicing martial arts for a year, his physical strength is still not as good as others. At this moment, every step relied on endurance, but it did not drag down others, and behind her and Lu Jingxing, there were a large group of people who struggled to walk through the falling branches and leaves, and they were also tired and bitter.

Lu Jingxing led the horse with one hand, and with the other hand, he kept touching the branches and leaves blocking the way in front of him, and glanced at Ling Xiao from time to time, knowing that she must be tired after walking for so long, and was about to say something, but there was an urgent exclamation in front of him: "Someone has fallen down, vomiting nonstop!" ”

Everyone's expressions changed, and they rushed over to see what was going on. However, not long after the cries, others fell one after another. In just a few moments, the people in front of them had already fallen down, and they were still spreading backwards as if they had been under a spell, and the people around Ling Xiao and them gradually appeared in this situation, and their hands and feet began to twitch after they collapsed on the ground, and they kept vomiting.

This sudden accident caused a lot of panic among the crowd for a while, and a noise soon sounded in the secluded dense forest, and everyone was terrified, and some even trembled their legs.

Lu Jingxing and Ling Xiao paused, glanced at each other with solemn faces, and then Lu Ci's raised voice sounded: "This is miasma, everyone quickly cover your mouth and nose." ”

As he spoke, Lu Ci had quickly removed a strand of his clothes, and the others saw this. However, it worked, and the number of sick people gradually decreased, and it was soon controlled. It's just that people who have already fallen ill are facing danger and suffering, and many of these people are from Lufu.

Faced with this scene, the heads of the various sects were all anxious, but they were a little at a loss. They had heard that some of the mountains and forests in this area of the Nanzhuan Country were full of miasma, but they never thought that they would just bump into them. In fact, they are very cautious, but some things are unavoidable.

After covering his mouth and nose, Lu Ci hurriedly handed the reins in his hand to the person beside him, turned around and took off the animal skin water bag hanging on the saddle, took out a medicine bottle from his arms, and then put a few pills into the water, shook it for a while, and handed it to the person who was not sick: "Go, give them this water to drink." ”

"I'll help you." Ling Xiao saw that Lu Ci had taken several water bags again, so he took the initiative to walk over and throw pills into the water.

Lu Jingxing's face was extremely solemn, he tied the reins in his hand to a thick branch beside him at will, walked over and took the medicine water bag in Ling Xiao's hand, starting from the closest to him, feeding the fallen people one by one.

After handing over the water bag in his hand to the others, Ling Xiao was a little skeptical, and frowned slightly: "I don't know if this medicine is really effective in treating miasma." ”

"Don't worry, this is what my master gave me when I was leaving, and it was specially used to relieve the miasma. Master is very familiar with this area, and he gave me this medicine just in case, but now he really uses it. Lu Ci patted his chest, full of confidence, and of course happy. He then took the rest of the medicine into his arms.

After all, this is a miasma in the middle, and after taking the antidote, the effect is relatively slow, and after about a quarter of an hour, the people on the ground are getting better one after another. One by one, they seemed to have been closed from the ghost gate, and they were very scared.

However, it is also true that once you are infected with this miasma, if there is no medicine to cure it, there is only one way to die, as evidenced by the animal bones buried in the greenery on the ground.

Those who were not poisoned in the back also gradually calmed down, and the uneasy noise decreased, and Lu Ci said loudly in his second mouth: "The temperature is high at this time, and the miasma ahead is the thickest time of the day. If you break through like this, even if you cover your mouth and nose, it won't help, and you can only wait for a later day to leave. ”

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. They have just been detoxified, and none of them have recovered their strength, their bodies are weak, and it is difficult to even stand up. Hearing Lu Ci say this, they were naturally willing, and they could just take advantage of this time to recover their strength.
