Chapter 129: Into the Yunnan Mountains
The smell of the mountains and forests mixed with rain and mud made people feel very damp, especially when combined with the hot and humid air in Yunnan, which really made me feel very uncomfortable when I first arrived.
The clothes I wore were only a sweatshirt in the first hour after entering the forest, and even then, I was sweating profusely. If it weren't for the fact that Lilac said that there are many poisonous insects in Yunnan, I would really want to take off this undershirt.
"It's a border with foreign countries, so be careful, you may have a trap like a landmine under your feet." The person who led the way was Ji Yining, and she also came with us.
In addition to her, there were more than a dozen people who looked like mercenaries, walking around me and Lilac and Shan Yufei from front to back.
Lilac dislikes these people very much because it hinders her judgment. Shan Yufei didn't care a little, comforting her with multiple people, of course, this is indispensable to the white eyes of Lilac.
I struggled with the hot and humid air while thinking about all the possible scenarios in my head.
The three Usheri siblings would not come here for no reason, they must have some ulterior motives.
For this reason, he did not hesitate to spend all kinds of means, but also to take down the Nanyang ancient basin.
However, the purpose that drove me here was not curiosity, but Song Anna who had descended. No matter what, I'm going to get Usheri Qi back, even if it's ...... Probably going to kill her.
On the day we received Ji Hao's news, we rushed to the forest farm in Yunnan from Donghua City and tried to catch the three sisters and brothers of Wusheli in Yunnan.
This is not easy, because the news that Ji Hao got was only a photo of the three of them leaving the station, and then they disappeared.
The reason why we came to this dense forest farm almost to the border junction is that Shan Yufei searched for holes through feng shui and found that there was a strange feng shui hole of turtle snake Gongwei in this forest farm.
The existence of such a place and the arrival of the three Usheri siblings are hard not to associate with each other.
I have to say that a few of us have an element of luck, but judging from the accident on the first night of camping in the mountains and forests, we should have made the right bet.
This day was just the first night we entered the mountains and forests of Yunnan, and unlike the three of us, the team led by Ji Yining was very accustomed to mountain activities, and after finding a water source according to the map, they put down their tents nearby.
Shan Yufei and Ding Xiang went to Ji Yining's tent with me to study the map and discuss tomorrow's route.
Shan Yufei judged the location of the bury hole by observing the trend of the mountain range, in the depths of the old forest of the mountain, the potholed terrain, the old trees and broken walls everywhere, there is no road in the usual sense, even if you use the fastest speed, you need to walk for three days.
We had already agreed before we came, we would walk a part of each day, rest at the location planned for the first day, and then plan the route for the second day.
This will ensure safety and avoid getting lost.
If you don't see the three sisters and brothers in that feng shui point, then consider how to search for information from the people.
"I think it's better to avoid this cliff."
In some dim light, I saw Shan Yufei waving irritably to drive away the mosquitoes coaxed by the light, and there were really so many mosquitoes in the mountains and forests that they could eat people.
Ji Yining took out a can of insect repellent from her bag and snorted most of the bottles in the tent, then lowered the curtain, returned to the box that served as a table and said, "It's easy to get around, but it will add half a day to your trip." β
"I don't think the three Usheri siblings would choose rock climbing." Lilac rarely expressed her support for Shan Yufei, I don't know if it's an illusion, I always feel that she seems to have some inexplicable hostility towards Ji Yining.
Are beautiful girls hostile to each other?
As if to confirm my suspicion, Ji Yining pulled her hair back and looked at Lilac toughly: "They have some strange spells, maybe they can climb over the cliff." If we choose to take a detour, it will most likely lead to falling behind and then getting nowhere! β
"They are sorcerers, not immortals." Lilac said without showing weakness, "The sorcerer is not as powerful as on TV, he can fly away!" β
Oh, my God......
Not to mention that I smelled the smell of gunpowder, even Shan Yufei couldn't help but shrink his neck, as if he didn't expect his unintentional words to lead to a-for-tat confrontation between the two beauties.
"That...... Would you like to have a cup of tea to cool down? I interjected and came in to separate the two of them, and at this time someone hurriedly lifted the curtain of the tent and said, "Team leader, Ergazi has an accident, his right hand is red and swollen, and now he has a high fever!" β
"You sit down first." Ji Yining got up neatly when she heard this, and when I heard the man's words, a subtle feeling rose in my heart, and I also got up: "I'll go and see it too." β
It's not that I can't walk when I see a beautiful woman, Ji Yining is very beautiful, but I don't have that kind of mood now. Now I came out to ease the atmosphere between her and my senior sister.
"Miss Ji, you seem to be very used to shuttling in the mountains and forests?" I watched Ji Yining wear double army boots, and quickly stepped over the rocks on the middle river to the other side, his movements were clean and neat, without dragging mud and water.
My movements were not pretty, but one of the rocks was so slippery by the water that I couldn't see clearly in the night, and I almost fell into the river.
"Habit? So to speak. Ji Yining stroked her slightly curly hair, and strode towards the tent where a moaning sound came from, "In Chechnya before, the environment I stayed in was much worse than here. β
Chechen ...... Hearing these two words, I had a convulsion recently, and I couldn't help but think of what Ji Hao said.
What kind of position do you have to hold in the United Nations to get used to staying in a place like Chechnya???
Come to think of it, you have to say, "So... Miss Ji, my senior sister is not very used to dealing with strangers. If there is any rudeness, please bear with me. β
Ji Yining glanced back at me, her beautiful eyes with a very sharp gaze: "You came here to say this, right?" But it doesn't matter, you saved me, and I owe you a favor. β
"Actually, that's not human, I was also called by Ji Dashao to help." I followed her to the outside of the tent, and when several men in the tent saw Ji Yining coming, they all consciously retreated, which was obvious about her status in this group of people.
Ji Yining bent down and said to me: "That's my cousin's business, you saved me, it's your business with me." The distinction between public and private is the family motto of our Ji family. β
In a sense, Ji Yining and Ji Hao are really a family, and they are unexpectedly similar in this kind of place.
I followed her into the tent and immediately smelled a disgusting smell.
The smell surprised me, like a mixture of evil, despair, and sorrow in a wonderful proportion, making people feel extremely uncomfortable.
Normally, practitioners refer to it as evil spirit.
I immediately opened my eyes, and I could see wisps of dark green evil qi emanating from the swollen arm of the lying man.
"Don't touch him!"
I saw Ji Yining squatting down and wanted to touch the man's red and swollen arm, so I hurriedly grabbed her wrist and pulled her up.
The next second. I felt like I was flying, and the landscape was blurry in front of me. Then there was a sharp pain in his back, and the man had been thrown the uneven ground.
What happened?
It took me a moment to react, and I was a little stunned. I looked at the woman who said I was a benefactor one second and threw me to the ground the next.
Are women so fickle?
"It's not my fault, who made you arrest me suddenly." Ji Yining didn't react until after making a move, and stretched out her hand to me who fell to the ground, "I have been specially trained in conditioned reflexes before, and if someone suddenly touches me from behind, I will throw him out directly." β
ββ¦ This kind of thing, can you please talk about it in advance in the future? When I heard this, I silently withdrew my outstretched hand, otherwise it would have been even more unlucky to be thrown again.
"Let's be serious, don't touch that person, he seems to have fallen under some spell." I rubbed my numb back, which had been broken, and walked into the tent again, making sure that my swollen hand was sinister.
"When did he become like this?" Ji Yining immediately interrogated the other mercenaries, several mercenaries questioned each other, and one of them came over to explain.
It was said that after dinner, the lying mercenary went around the camp for a while, and when he came back, they all thought that he had been bitten by some poisonous insect.
I looked in the direction the mercenary was pointing, and the first thing that came to my mind was that the three Usheri siblings might be nearby.
"Don't go around, Miss Ji will go to Shan Dao Chang to come and undo the spell for him, I'll go there and have a look." As I spoke, I walked over to the forest, and turned the ring into a bone spear in my hand, just in case.
"Wait, I'll go with you." Unexpectedly, Ji Yining grabbed a person and asked him to find Shan Yufei, grabbed a bag by himself, and caught up with me in a big stride.
Come on, this isn't an outing!
I frowned and said, "It's dangerous." β
"I'm not afraid of danger." Ji Yining's tone was tough, and her attitude was like a mold from her cousin, "Those people paralyzed me in bed for three days, and I have to pay tribute to them!" β
As soon as I saw that the blocking didn't work, I stopped holding on.
It was absolutely dark in the mountains and forests, and it was impossible for the fire of the camp to shine through, and the air was humid and disgusting, mixed with the smell of dirt and algae, and the sound of all kinds of insects filling my ears.
As soon as I walked into the woods, I was more vigilant, and by watching the Qi, I could see some of the scenery in the night that ordinary people could not see. But the Qi in the mountains and forests was very mixed, and it was as turbid as mist.
"Miss Ji..."I was just about to say that she should follow me, but Ji Yining walked in front of me, the bag in her hand shook off, and showed her own equipmentβa gun I can't name.
"Follow me." Ji Yining ignored my stunned, she bent her waist slightly, and her movements were like a black panther shuttling through the night, agile and silent.
Sister, what the hell are you doing?
I feel more and more that Ji Yining's purpose is not just to lead the way.
At this moment, I stopped sharply to the low bushes twenty paces to the left, and there was the sound of leaves shaking, as if something had passed through them.
I immediately looked over and saw only a blurry black shadow.
It hurts!
When I was distracted, there was a sudden sharp pain in the back of my right hand, and a black spider the size of a palm bit the back of my hand!
