"Miss, what's the matter?" Xie Tan was the first to clean up and walked up to her and asked in a low voice.

"The mosquitoes here are poisonous." Xie Qingning's brief answer made Xie Tan a little confused, but remembering the young lady's previous confession, he asked him to protect everyone and continue to move forward, striving to cross this forest and climb over the high mountains in front of her within three days, and she didn't know where to go or what to do, and her heart became more and more worried.

"Seventh sister, your face is not very good-looking, haven't you rested?" Xie Huazhao, who had just finished packing his things, also walked over, and when he saw that her face was slightly pale, he hurriedly asked.

"I'm fine, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's go quickly." Xie Qingning's solemn face made everyone's hearts rise, and after silently putting away his things, he took advantage of the night to walk slowly in the woods.

Xie Qingning, who was behind the palace, quietly turned back while everyone was not paying attention, and returned to the place where everyone was resting to observe silently, and sure enough, he found that a black, long-legged mosquito flew from the southeast, and began to frantically devour the red snake corpses all over the ground with a noisy buzzing sound.

But after all, she is a healer, and she is very interested in the toxins that come with those poisonous mosquitoes, which is the main purpose of her return and return. But how can she take a few poisonous mosquitoes for her to study without alarming the mosquito swarm? Xie Qingning felt a little embarrassed.

At this moment, a cyan python appeared in her field of vision, speeding towards this side at an alarming speed, the surrounding trees were hit by its huge body, and the weeds all over the ground were crushed by it.

Xie Qingning's pupils shrank, and he just wanted to fly away, when out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a blood-red python appear in the woods on the right, and an adult-like roar came out of its throat, it was actually ...... The ancestor of those red snakes?

She couldn't help but feel extremely lucky, fortunately she let Xie Huazhao and the others withdraw in time, otherwise wouldn't she have to be chased and killed by these two giant pythons?

But what she didn't expect was that the two giant pythons were not here to hunt down humans, but to ...... Cannibalism?

Seeing the two giant pythons rushing over at a terrifying speed, intertwining with each other and attacking each other, causing the fallen leaves to fly all over the sky and the mud stars splashing on the grass, the scene was spectacular and mighty, and even those black giant mosquitoes were frightened and fled, Xie Qingning was very interested and reluctant to leave.

She simply stepped back, swept to a branch and sat and watched, seeing that the two giant pythons were inseparable, biting each other all over the body, blood splashing, dispelling the white mist in the forest, and couldn't help but think, "There are many strange beasts in Xizhou, this is really true, but how did these strange beasts evolve to this point?" ”

According to normal reasoning, it is impossible for ordinary beasts to evolve into such perverts, whether it is the giant spider or the red snake that I have seen before, or the black giant beast hiding in the black lake, including these poisonous mosquitoes are more than three times larger than normal of their kind, and they all have toxins hidden in their bodies, but they have not let themselves be poisoned, which is a very intriguing thing in itself.

Xie Qingning faintly felt that there must be a terrible thing or a terrible monster hidden in this Cangyu Mountain or this forest that affected everything, and to be able to make these strange beasts change in nature, it must be some kind of food or water source that affected them, could it be the strange beast in the black lake?

Just when she was thinking nonsense, the two giant pythons had gradually divided the winners and losers, the red python with a thicker skin and flesh, sharp fangs bited the green python and ran around, the two pythons chased each other and gradually disappeared traces, Xie Qingning then turned over and got off the tree, carefully searched in the grass under the cover of night, and sure enough, she found a few mosquito corpses that were affected to death by the double pythons, she wrapped it in a handkerchief before turning around and chasing in the direction of everyone's travel.

The darkness before dawn was far worse than the darkness of the night, and the white fog in the forest made Xie Qingning's vision blurry, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

She looked down at the increasingly damp ground, afraid of falling into the swamp and did not dare to speed up, but those thoughts had been haunting her, and she had unconsciously returned to the vicinity of the black lake she had encountered earlier.

Looking at the lake that became more and more eye-catching in the white fog from afar, it was like a huge natural black gem lying horizontally in the middle of the trees, so abrupt, so quiet, the conflict between the two extreme and contradictory images, deepened the doubt in Xie Qingning's heart.

If she could capture this beast alive, would she know what the secret of this forest was?

Just as she was about to try, she suddenly heard Lan Yongzhi's low and hoarse voice in her ears, "What do you want to do?" ”

Xie Qingning was really too focused, but he didn't notice that someone was approaching, and the night near him was as dark as ink, and the surrounding environment was strange and indescribable, so he was inevitably frightened by his voice and turned pale, and almost stabbed him with a backhand.

Thankfully, she stopped the action in time, and glanced sideways at him, and the two quietly retreated, not alarming any creatures, not even the trees.

After a full five hundred meters away from the black lake, Xie Qingning told him his speculation, and he remained silent for a long time before saying, "I still think it's too dangerous here, let's leave early, they are waiting for us in front." As you said, the longer we stay here, the more dangerous it becomes, and with our current capabilities, I'm afraid it's not enough to find out the secrets of this place, so why not wait for us to be strong in the future? ”

Lan Yongzhi rarely said so much, and seeing the deep worry in his eyes, Xie Qingning closed his eyes and was silent for a long time.

"Qingning," Lan Yongzhi suddenly called her softly in a very low and crisp voice, and when Xie Qingning opened his eyes, he happened to collide with his eyes full of tenderness and concern, and his heart trembled for no reason.

"Have you ever thought that Cangyu Mountain in Xizhou is so special and weird, and all the beasts here grow so amazingly, haven't they ever attracted the attention of the high-level monks here in Xizhou? But why didn't they go into the mountains to investigate? Why is it that this place is reduced to a forbidden area, and no one dares to set foot on it easily, preferring to go around the ground for a hundred miles and get as far away from it as possible? Is it true that they are not curious or have no ambition or desire for peace? Could it be that the power here is too strong and mysterious, and even they dare not set foot lightly and dare not provoke them casually? ”

Xie Qingning's pupils shrank, and his heart was shocked.

Although Lan Yongzhi's words are not very good, they are very sharp and true. Sure enough, she herself was too light on the enemy, too self-righteous, and with the strength of Feng Ningyu, she thought that she could conquer the power of nature and affect the pattern here?

She couldn't help but feel ashamed, she smiled a little embarrassedly, "You're right, I'm too anxious, let's go back." ”
