"So what do you say, then we're in the nest of those strange birds? Isn't it death for us to go in like this? The fat man said.

"I can't say for sure." "It's been so many years, the climate here has changed so much, there is so little food, and the bird may be extinct here." The Mother Kingdom of the West is based on the Xuanniao as the guardian deity, which means that we have entered the boundaries of the Mother Kingdom of the West. It's all here, how can you be scared back by this kind of thing that doesn't know if it still exists. ”

Wu Xie and the others all nodded, and the fat man said: "It's better to be extinct, otherwise it will become a meal for these birds, and I will really die young." ”

In fact, the fat man's concerns are also everyone's worries, in case he encounters this kind of human-faced bird, this is someone's territory, and they are the fish and meat slaughtered by the birds on the chopping board.

Although they are worried, they still have to move on, and in the depths of the canyon, Chen Wenjin and the truth are waiting for them.

They carefully walked through the jungle, beware of the trap that the Queen Mother of the West might set, but "the house leak happened to rain overnight", and suddenly there was a thunder in the sky, and they saw a little light flickering in the clouds, and the dark clouds above pressed down to the top of the canyon.

"The rain that comes once in a few years has met us, and it seems that the Queen Mother of the West does not welcome us uninvited guests." Mengli looked at the precursor of the coming storm in the sky and said.

"Hurry down, hurry down, I'm going to suffocate to death, it's raining and cool." The fat man is now especially looking forward to this rain.

Suddenly a raindrop the size of a bean fell on his face, and then the rain poured down through the cracks in the canopy, and the rain was so fierce that they were caught off guard and hugged their heads, trying to find a place to shelter from the rain. Fortunately, it was at the bottom of the dense forest, and there happened to be a tree around it that was covered by tangled vines, and they hurriedly climbed up to avoid the rain.

They looked across the cliff, and the rain crashed down the cliff like a waterfall. Underneath the canyon, the rain washed down formed countless streams that began to converge and gather into rivers that flowed down into the swamps.

"This rain...... It seems that the road ahead is even harder. Mengli looked at the swamp that was already very wet, and with this rain, the difficulty factor of going deep into the swamp increased again.

"'Tibetan wind gathers water and does not move', it has not changed here for thousands of years, it seems that this is really a treasure of feng shui." After the fat man sighed, he suddenly became restless, the space on this tree was not large, and when the fat man's body moved, everyone else could feel it.

Mengli saw that there were a few small insects crawling on the back of her hand, they were very small flower insects, they looked like spiders, she watched them stay in her hands for a while, and immediately somehow they suddenly scurried around as if they were very scared, and they all jumped off her hands.

This is...... Grass ticks!

The fat man twisted his body and asked, "Do you guys feel itchy in your buttocks?" ”

"Bugs!" Wu Xie shouted, and everyone stood up and looked at the trunk of the tree they were leaning on, only to see that the trunk was full of dense flowers and insects, which seemed to crawl out of the cracks in the trunk.

The strange thing is that Wu Xie and the others are all patting the bugs on their bodies, but Mengli and the little brother have no bugs on their bodies, could it be that the nature of these bugs is the same as that of corpses, and their blood is immune?

"Run into the rain. These insects are grass ticks and can suck blood! Aning shouted.

Fortunately, everyone had the foresight to put on a long coat and trousers, and the trousers were tight, and the bugs could not easily get into the skin, but there were still fish that slipped through the net. In the rain, the bugs were washed away. A-Ning pulled out a knife and placed it on the lamp to burn it, scalding off the bugs that stuck to the back of her hand and legs.

"Hurry up and scald those bugs off, or they'll drain your blood." A-Ning hurriedly said.

Mengli casually pulled out a dagger and said, "I'll help you." After saying that, he put the dagger on the miner's lamp and burned it, looking at Wu Xie and the fat man seemed very uncomfortable, it seemed that there were many insects sucking their blood. A-Ning didn't seem to be bitten inside, and he didn't have to burn some of it.

"Hurry up, I'll get it for you." Mengli looked at Wu Xie and the fat man and said.

"No...... No need. Wu Xie waved his hand, "I can handle it myself." ”

"You give us the dagger and the miner's lamp, and Wu Xie and I will go over there and deal with each other." The fat man pointed behind the branch, "Come on, it's going to hurt to death." ”

Mengli hurriedly gave the miner's lamp and dagger in his hand to the fat man, and at this time, Wu Xie and the fat man, Pan Zi and Liutai helped each other deal with those grass ticks.

Mengli turned around and found that the little brother was gone, and when she looked up, she found that he had crawled to the place under them that was covered by the plants that had just sheltered from the rain, and he was shining a miner's lamp, not knowing what he was looking at. She walked up and looked at him and asked him what he was doing with her eyes.

The little brother grabbed the vine on it at once, turned over, and jumped on top of the plant cover, and he beckoned her to go up.

Mengli climbed up, and saw the mossy plants entangled with branches, parasitic vines, and ferns, and the little brother took out his knife and cut the surface of the covering, and a large number of vines were cut inside, revealing what was wrapped inside. There were a lot of grass ticks in there that were being washed out by the rain.

"Little brother, what are you looking for?" Mengli asked softly, the pile of things emitted a terrible smell, and the little brother vigorously tore open a large piece of dead vines, and in an instant, grass ticks like a tide poured out of it.

"Looks like this is a nest of grass ticks." Mengli leaned over and looked at the contents inside, "No wonder......"

I saw that inside was a mass of rotting animal remains wrapped in fur, the skin had rotted black, I don't know what kind of animal it was. The little brother inserted a dagger into the fur and stirred it, and the skin was full of bones, which had been tightly entangled with the tree, and it seemed that this thing had been around for a certain year.

Fortunately, Mengli's cleanliness habit has been cured, otherwise she would definitely have to vomit.

"Little brother, Mengli ......" Wu Xie also climbed up and asked, "What are you looking at?" ”

"There's an animal carcass here...... Mengli said.

"This may have been caused by sucking the blood of these insects and then contracting the disease, lying on a tree before dying, and as a result, all the insects around them were attracted and sucked dry." The little brother frowned and looked at Mengli and Wu Xie, "They should be resting here, waiting for the next victim." ”

"The corpses are all rotten, and none of these grass ticks are dead?" Wu Xie asked.

The little brother shook his head, saying that he didn't know, he looked down at the pile of bones, and suddenly took out his knife and made a cut on his palm, blood flowed out of his palm, he shook Wu Xie's sleeve and stained the blood.

Mengli and Wu Xie knew what he wanted to do at once, and sure enough, he suddenly leaned over and put two long fingers into the bones under the vines, and suddenly countless grass ticks swarmed out of it, Wu Xie screamed in fright, fortunately he didn't have a dense phobia, but there was nothing to be afraid of insects.

At the same time, the little brother's hand ripped something out of the skeleton, first a twisted old-fashioned flashlight, and then a human bone, could it be that this animal corpse, there was still a human corpse?

"It's a big tree python that ate a man. The flashlight belonged to the man. The little brother said expressionlessly.

They decided to take the bones out of the tree first and see who it would be.

They rested directly on the tree, and Wu Xie felt really sleepy and soon fell asleep. When he opened his eyes, he found himself alone on the trunk of a tree, and the others were all gone.

"Little brother...... Dream Glass ...... Fat man......" Wu Xie shouted in fear, but there was no echo at all, and there was silence all around, terrifyingly quiet.

Suddenly, the leaves around me were rattling, like something rubbing against the leaves, and it was coming this way. Wu Xie looked back and was so frightened that his legs were weak, it turned out to be a big white python!
