Episode 161: Through the swamp, steppe night

"Miss Miao'er, are you all rested, it's time for us to leave. ”

Not long after the barbecue feast ended, he refined the crocodile meat that he had eaten in his stomach, breathed a little, and after getting used to the new strength, Cheng Fei Huo Ran got up, his face full of condensation.

Although he had already packed the corpse of the giant crocodile into the mustard seed space, the strong smell of blood left here was still likely to cause them unforeseen dangers.

"This is not a place to stay for long, and there will be accidents, we must take advantage of the strength we have just eaten to get out of this swamp, and as shown on the map, we only need to cross this swamp and climb over a mountain to get out of the lost jungle. ”

"Good. ”

Without saying much, Miao Miao just got up silently, holding the wooden spear that Cheng Fei had sharpened for her in her hand.

In fact, she also has weapons, they are two short swords, extremely sharp short swords, which are even stronger than the blood spirit knife that Ye Fei gave to Cheng Fei, and it is definitely enough to be regarded as a divine weapon. But she knows very well that even if she has a magic weapon in her hand, it is not enough to ensure her safety in the lost jungle, and now, she can only rely on Cheng Fei and believe in Cheng Fei to get out of the lost jungle safely.

"Let's go. ”

Cheng Fei also pulled out the wooden spear inserted in the side, "It's still the old way, I'm in front, use the wooden spear to explore the way, you follow carefully, don't fall behind, I'm really tired, I can't hold on, just tell me." ”

"I see. ”

Ethereal nodded silently.

"It's good to know. ”

Cheng Fei said: "Although, I killed a giant crocodile, but I can't guarantee that there is no second, third or even more crocodiles in this swamp, so the swamp ahead is still full of danger, we must be vigilant, be careful of all kinds of poisonous insects and beasts, and of course, those man-eating quagmires." As he spoke, he walked straight forward.

In fact, moving forward in the swamp, those animals that lurk in the bushes or bushes like to attack the people at the back of the team, according to reason, Cheng Fei should go behind, but there are only two people in their team, he must take on the responsibility of finding the way, fortunately, his mental power is increasing day by day, and his six senses are even sharper, and he is sure enough to be able to warn before danger comes, and respond in time.

Ethereal followed Cheng Fei step by step, and after a few days of walking, she was already very convinced of Cheng Fei's ability, especially in such a dangerous environment, she could only be safe if she followed Cheng Fei closely.

All around, the air is filled with white shisha that is heated and steamed, giving people a very primitive and mysterious feeling, and the clumps of tender plants that are enough to reach the height of an adult's knee are scattered and scattered, which looks very beautiful, but in nature, the more beautiful things are, the more dangerous they are.

These plants themselves may not be dangerous, but snakes, insects, rats and ants lurking in the vegetation are likely to carry highly poisonous enough to pose a deadly threat to people.

Therefore, it is best to avoid the grass and bushes when walking in the swamp, otherwise, if you are not careful, you may lose your own life.

Even if he is a martial arts powerhouse like Cheng Fei, in such an environment, he does not dare to relax his vigilance, not to mention, now he is still carrying an oil bottle, so he can only cautiously explore the way forward.

In this way, the two of them walked for more than three hours, and with Cheng Fei's ability, although it was not calm along the way, it could be regarded as a thrilling situation.

At this time, the two of them boarded a relatively large dry quagmire, Cheng Fei had to continue to move forward, but behind, Miao couldn't support it, she couldn't help but say: "I can't walk, can you stop and rest for a while." ”

It's not that she doesn't give up, it's that the road in the swamp is too difficult to walk, plus she needs to be vigilant against all kinds of dangers that may come at any time, three hours of continuous hurry, it may not be anything to Cheng Fei, but for her, it is a huge loss, which can be described as physically and mentally exhausting.

"Okay!"

Cheng Fei had expected this, so he simply agreed, then took out the water and roasted crocodile meat, and handed it to Piaomiao: "Let's eat something, let's just rest for a while, and then we won't make a fire." ”

"It's okay. ”

Miao Miao took the water and barbecued meat, sat on a clod of soil, and while eating and drinking silently, he ran the internal strength of the mind, refining the energy contained in the crocodile meat, recovering the loss, and practicing the internal force.

Cheng Fei was not idle, after draining a large bowl of water, he took out a large piece of roasted crocodile meat and feasted on it, the giant crocodile flesh and blood can actually increase his strength, this is a big unexpected harvest, he has sat down and decided that in the future, three meals a day will be all crocodile meat, and he wants to use this as a basis to cast an immortal foundation for himself.

After eating and drinking and resting for a while, the two continued on their way.

"After dark, the swamp was unsafe, and we tried to get out of it before nightfall. ”

While moving forward, Cheng Fei did not forget to cheer at the ethereal who was following behind: "Believe my judgment, the scope of this swamp is actually not very large, Miss Miao'er, you see ........." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed ahead, only to see that not far away, a majestic mountain stood upright, as if it was close at hand.

"It really doesn't look far off. ”

Seeing this, Miao Miao couldn't help but burst out with two hopeful gazes in his eyes: "It's just that this mountain looks so high, as if we are at the foot of it, the map says that we only need to climb over this mountain to get out of the lost jungle?"

"That's right. ”

Cheng Fei said with a smile: "According to the map given to me by Ye Fei's seniors, as long as we climb over this mountain, we can get out of the lost jungle, and when the time comes, you can go home, and I can be regarded as fulfilling my promise to Ye Fei's predecessors." ”

"It's just....... Promise........."

The unspoken words were only whispered back in his heart, and a faint flash of loss flashed in his ethereal eyes, but soon, he was replaced by the hope that he was about to go home.

The two continued on their way.

Xu is getting closer and closer to the goal, so the two of them are also working extremely hard, and the speed of progress is getting faster and faster, even the ethereal who is shallow in cultivation and weak in strength feels that he is full of energy.

Finally!

By dusk, the two men had finally crossed the swamp and entered a dense grassland. The scenery here is beautiful, full of lush green plants, and in the distance, the gentle hillsides are densely populated with shrubs, the air is enchanting, and the surroundings are dotted with unknown beautiful yellow and white flowers.

"It's beautiful!"

After all, it's a girl, born with a love of beauty, and she can't help but praise it in her mouth.

At this time, Cheng Fei sniffed the air, and then frowned imperceptibly, because he noticed that the humidity of the air here was very high, even greater than before in the depths of the jungle, which was definitely not good news for adventurers.

Passing through the grassland, a large expanse of jungle is impressively presented in front of you, in the jungle, a huge forest with a height of tens and hundreds of meters stands, and the jungle is full of various large-leaved plants.

The majestic mountain is just behind this jungle.

But this jungle is like the final level of a game, and the hot and humid environment, under the influence of inexplicable forces, is definitely enough to give birth to the world's most dangerous animals, plants, and insects......... and terrifying creatures you've probably never seen or even thought about.........

"The final test?"

Cheng Fei couldn't help but murmur in his mouth, and when he looked at it, he saw the afterglow of the sunset shrouded in the Guangxiang jungle in front of him, with big trees, flowers and plants, under the reflection of the sunset, the beauty of nature was like poetry, picturesque, and songs, and from a distance, it really looked like a beautiful and colorful oil painting.

At this time, it suddenly rained in the jungle, and the rain hit the leaves, crackling, like playing a gorgeous music, so that the air that drifted from there became very cool, and it also carried the fragrance of the earth.

It's so beautiful, Cheng Fei swears, this is the most beautiful jungle he has ever seen, so beautiful that people don't want to destroy it, let alone bear to destroy it.

"Girl, it's already raining in the jungle, and it's getting late, so I don't think it's a good time for us to move on. ”

Cheng Fei said in a deep voice: "In the lost jungle, the temperature difference between day and night is very large, especially when it rains, plus a large number of giant beasts and poisonous insects that come out of the day and night, which are all dangers that are difficult to resist, so we still make up for one night on this grassland where there is no rain, and wait for tomorrow after the jungle rain stops, we will enter again." ”

Yes, the weather in the Lost Jungle is so strange, it is raining in the jungle ahead, but the grassland next to the jungle is still sunny.

However, strange is strange, this is definitely enough to be regarded as pretty good news for Cheng Fei and Miao Miao.

"I'm going to find dry wood to make a fire. ”

Miao Miao had no objection to Cheng Fei's proposal, she didn't want to run into the jungle to get drenched in the rain, and it was a jungle full of dangers.

Cheng Fei cleared out a clearing, collected some soft hay, and spread two straw bunks, on which were covered with a few wolf skins, thick fur to withstand the sudden drop in temperature at night.

He then collected a number of thorny plants with spikes and built a simple fence around the clearing.

In the wild, such a wall can keep many animals at bay, and, even if it can't, it can serve as a warning to a certain extent, giving adventurers enough time to react to impending danger.

By the time he was done with all this, Ethereal had already built a bonfire.

Cheng Fei took out a large piece of crocodile meat, cut it into strips, and roasted it on the bonfire, while he took the opportunity to tell Miao Miao: "Miss Miao'er, there is something I have to tell you, the jungle in front of me gives me a very dangerous feeling, after a while, you try to eat as much as possible, use your skills to refine, and improve your internal strength as much as possible, after all, relying on the mountains, relying on the flow of water, relying on everyone to go, everything still depends on your own good after all." ”

"This ........."

Miao Miao was slightly stunned, but then nodded heavily: "I understand." ”

Soon, the aroma of meat came out, and the crystal clear white meat was roasted and browned, and at a glance, it gave people a great appetite, Cheng Fei saw that the heat was almost over, so he hurriedly took out a piece and handed it to Ethereal.

"Thank you. ”

After taking the barbecue, Miao Miao thanked him, and then began to eat, and at the same time, the internal strength and heart method operated, refining the energy contained in the flesh and blood, and improving the skill.

Cheng Fei is no exception, devouring it in a big gulp, with such a miraculous skill as Zhantian Qi Transformation, his efficiency in refining crocodile meat is much faster than that of Ethereal.

A large piece of crocodile meat was quickly eaten by the two of them, and Cheng Fei immediately took out the second piece of meat on the bonfire, roasted it, and continued to drive.

In this way, the two fought until midnight and ate five large pieces of crocodile meat.

Ethereal has reached the limit, although, in terms of the total amount of her appearance, she only ate a large piece, but, you know, this large piece of crocodile meat, at least hundreds of catties, she is a little girl, even if she is a martial artist, it is enough to choke.

On the other hand, Cheng Fei is eating faster and faster, eating more and more energetically, four pieces of crocodile meat in the stomach, and there is no adverse reaction, his stomach is like a bottomless pit, as if, as long as he is given enough time, he can eat a whole giant crocodile in one go.

Hundreds of catties of crocodile meat brought a strong growth, very obvious effect, Cheng Fei was very satisfied, but there was ethereal on the side, and he was not good at eating it all the time, yes, after the sixth piece of barbecue was roasted, he did not continue to eat, but put it into the space ring, ready to be eaten when he was in a hurry tomorrow.

On the side, Ethereal Misty lying on the grass bunk saw this, and suddenly asked out loud: "Cheng Fei, can you tell me, where did you get your mustard seed space?"

"Huh?"

Walking all the way, this is the first time that Miao Miao has asked about his space ring, Cheng Fei was slightly stunned, and did not answer, but asked instead: "Do you know the mustard seed space?"

"Of course. ”

Miao said: "In my family, my father has it, and my uncle told me that the mustard seed space is very precious, and only the real Yuan Shen Shangxian can make it." ”

"Oh?"

A flash of surprise flashed in Cheng Fei's eyes, he thought that he had looked high enough at the level of this world, but now it seems that he still looks down, but fortunately, he has not stayed in this world for much time, and he has no intention of exploring deeply, just smiled: "So, you ask me about the origin of the mustard seed space, do you also want a mustard seed space?"

"It's not. ”

Miao Miao hesitated slightly, and said with a bit of temptation: "If I tell you that I have a mustard seed space on my body now, do you believe it?"

Suddenly, Cheng Fei's gaze froze and fell on Miao Miao, but soon, he took it back, walked to his own grass bunk and lay down, and said: "Believe it, why don't you believe it?" However, this is your business, for me, it doesn't matter, you don't think that I will rob you of your mustard seed space, right?"

"How is that possible!"

Miao said: "I know, you are not that kind of person. ”

"Hah!"

With a chuckle back, Cheng Fei said casually: "At your words, don't worry, I will send you out of the lost jungle safe and sound, hurry up and sleep, you have to hurry tomorrow!"
