Chapter 192: Through the Jungle
The morning sun is pouring down through the gaps in the leaves, and the rain-soaked ground is gradually becoming dry. I tore off part of the pork I had roasted and let Kalmi eat it as she walked, and I tore some strips of meat and chewed them in my mouth.
I looked around, and last night I was panicked by heavy rain and realized that I was in a swampy area.
In such a place, the surface calm may be a swamp trap, and you have to be careful every step of the way. The best way to get out of here is to take advantage of your stamina and go all the way.
I wasn't sure I'd be able to get through the swamp myself, not to mention that I had a Kalmi by my side.
I glanced back at her, and she was looking at me with a very uncomfortable look.
"What's wrong?" I noticed something was wrong with her.
"It's tickling," Calmi said, a little embarrassed to show me the rash on her arm.
I frowned, the biggest trouble in the swamp I had overlooked, the dreaded jungle mosquitoes.
The mosquitoes that grow in the jungle are not only much bigger than those in the city, but also very poisonous.
But there was no mosquito repellent or anything like that right now, so I could only look at her in embarrassment and say, "You... Bear with me, and the insects in this place, don't touch them yourself when you see them, understand? ”
"Hmm..."Kalmi replied with some grievances, I can't blame her for being squeamish, this kind of thing is enough for anyone.
Luckily, Kalmi's adaptability is much better than I thought. Today, from sunrise to now, we have walked non-stop for three or four hours, and she has not shouted tired.
Maybe it's because I know that I won't get used to her, and it's useless to shout tired.
As I walked, I kept an eye on my back, and though there was no such thing as being tracked for the time being, I couldn't let my guard down. I still remember this morning, and I don't know how the demons, or the magicians who summoned them, found us.
After a long walk, we finally entered the real rainforest area. Here the mountains are stacked, the fog is hidden and the clouds are steaming, and the colorful exotic flowers and plants abound, and they all have a strong toxicity that matches the color.
I didn't let Kalmy touch anything, for fear that she wouldn't be able to suppress a girl's instinct to pick some beautiful flowers. If the juice is highly poisonous, it's over.
Soon, a meandering stream appeared in front of us. The last thing we need to worry about in the rainforest is water, but Kalmi is clearly excited: "Water! Angel, can I go wash my face? ”
Listening to her anxious and hopeful question, I couldn't help but want to laugh a little, and looked at the water flow that was not deep and should be safe: "Go ahead." ”
I sat down, wary of my surroundings.
Kalmi hurried a few steps there, but then stopped with some hesitation, and I asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”
"Angel, inside... Will there be crocodiles? ”
I was almost amused by her words: "Such a small stream, why don't you say that there are sharks in it?" ”
"I'll just ask......" Kalmi muttered quietly, and bent down to the water's edge to wash his face as if he was afraid of being scolded by me.
is really a star model, and she doesn't forget to wash her face at this time.
I smiled wryly and shook my head, thinking that if it wasn't for the creek wasn't big enough, she might have rushed straight down to take a bath.
After a while, Kalmi washed his face, turned some water back with an empty kettle, and knelt next to me with bright eyes: "Angel, I'll help you wash your face~"
I raised my eyebrows, and just as I was about to say no, she had already wet the paper with water and wiped it on my face.
I snorted softly, didn't say anything, and turned my attention to my aching arms and back.
Those wounds have become inflamed and suppurated, and even if I try to hold on, I won't be able to last a few days, and if it causes a high fever, it will be troublesome.
I got up and said, "We've got to go faster." ”
"Okay." Kalmi's mood seemed to be much better because of the rest, and he put on his backpack and tried to catch up with me.
"Hold steady a bit." I glanced back at her, and although I only let her carry a military bag now, it was still a bit difficult for her thin body, and she walked somewhat staggeringly.
"Hey," Kalmi smiled, standing up a little longer.
I turned around and continued to find my way.
Walking through the jungle is like playing hide-and-seek with the sun, which often makes it impossible for me to tell how long time has passed.
But no matter how you count it, I know that the best three days have been exceeded. Along the way, I didn't find any more animals to hunt, and the last part of the food was eaten in the morning.
The sun was setting in the west now, and I could see some dim sunlight through the leaves.
Fortunately, in such a deep jungle, the pursuers did not continue to chase down. But unfortunately, the demon still can't shake off like a maggot attached to the bones.
No matter how I chose my route, the magic circle would always appear nearby, which made me confused and worried.
After probably the fourth night in the jungle, Kalmi and I were reaching the limit of our stamina.
She was crumbling, and I had barely closed my eyes since I entered the swamp, and I had to fight the demon who had come out of the magic circle, and the wound continued to deteriorate, so I really felt like I was going to collapse at any moment.
I could only force myself to stay awake, and I was well aware that Kalmi was not capable of protecting me. If I close my eyes, I will probably become fertilizer for the forest and never wake up again.
"Angel...," Kalmi licked his dry lips and looked at my obviously bad face, "You... Are you okay? ”
"It's fine." I'm a little afraid to blink now, I feel like just a moment when I close my eyes, I might faint, "Let's make a fire, rest here today." ”
"Hmm." Kalmi walked over with some difficulty, perhaps because of the ability she had honed in the past few days, and it didn't take long for her to start a fire.
Next to the flames, I let my sore muscles relax for a moment, no more in the jungle than in the swamps, at least the flames provide warmth and safety.
"Angel...", at this time, the voice of Kalmi on the other side looked at me weakly, "I'm so hungry..."
I was stunned, but I couldn't blame her. It's been four days here, and she hasn't been able to eat anything since she had eaten her last meal in the morning, and there's no way to cry out if she's hungry.
I could starve for a few days, but she was so good that she would have to lie down at the end of the day, and I would have to take care of her by then.
I sighed, and could only stand up with my body propped up: "Wait for me here, don't walk around." ”
Now I wish there was a demon that wouldn't turn into brimstone and still have some meat... So that at least you won't starve.
Finding food in the jungle was more difficult than I thought, especially since I didn't dare to get too far from Kalmy.
And just as I was about to go back with a pile of grass, a scream from Kalmi came from the camp.
"!" I've been telling her to be quiet for the past few days, and if it weren't for the real danger, she wouldn't scream so loudly.
I immediately strode back to the camp, only to see smoke rise from the fire that had just risen, black and blood-red magic patterns appeared in the air, and a devil's claw full of black animal hair stretched out, about to grab Kalmy who was paralyzed on the ground!
"Go!" I let out a loud cry, grabbed the bone spear in my hand, and smashed it into the beast's claws.
At the same time as the beast's claws were smashed open by me, a large hole was torn open in the black demonic qi, and a huge demon was about to emerge from it.
The heavy smell of sulfur permeated the air, and the black wind around it was as sharp as a blade. I saw those scarlet eyes, peeking out of the address, the sheep-headed demon!
"Let's go!" I yelled at Kalmy, and she finally came to her senses and ran off the distance with her hands and feet.
I was about to catch up, but I noticed that the space around me was inexplicably distorted, the color turned gray, and the claw demon finally broke free from the big hole.
Warren Buffett stared at me, and I could feel the burning gaze of the flames. The moment I turned around, Buffett had already taken its three-strand fork in his hand and stabbed it at me.
The demon's strength was incomparable, and I only had time to jam the three-strand fork with a bone spear, but the whole person was still hit by it and fell out of seventeen or eighteen meters.
The bones all over his body were creaking, and the inflamed and injured arm was almost unconscious.
Damn it!
"I'm glad I took you to death." Warren Buffett spoke in the old language in the distance, "Your soul will be my collection." ”
"Why don't you tell me why I want my life?" I stood up with my trembling hands and handed the bone spear to my left hand, which was still conscious.
Warren Buffett's sheep's head showed a very strange smile, and when it struck at me again, the war spirit rushed out, waving a large knife in his hand and slamming it into its three-strand fork.
"Break the formation!" The battle spirit snorted, the bulging muscles stretched open the covered armor, and the big knife that was suddenly waved forced back Buffett out.
"I'll hold it off, you take the girl away!" The war spirit said loudly.
I didn't hesitate to leave Buffett to him, and quickly found Kalmy, who was also trapped by warped space. She trembled with fear, uneasy and terrified.
I grabbed her, ignoring the rules of mortal beings. The bone spear turned into a ring, and his left hand quickly pinched a few tricks, and his fingers quickly drew a round of Tai Chi in the air: "Immortal guidance, break!" ”
A round of Tai Chi flowed, and the yin and yang fish moved, as if the roulette wheel had run over the glass, causing the entire black-and-white distorted world to shake and shatter.
Warren Buffett and the war spirit have ten more moves, but in terms of moves, they are evenly matched.
"It's a pity that I wasted a bit of effort to arrange such a battlefield where we can give it a go." Warren Buffett looked at the cracked sky and opened his left hand, "You can't stop me." ”
This was addressed to the War Spirit, and as it spoke, a huge fireball, like a sun falling to the earth, was thrown from its fingers and thrown towards me and Kalmy's position.
"Hope to see you again, deceased."
With the complete shattering of the warp space, Buffett left. Also at this moment, a huge fireball exploded silently on the ground, and the flames swept through all!
