Chapter 60: The Miasma Rainforest
The locust took advantage of the moonlight to look at the protruding scars on his arms, one by one, and the memories awakened were different. Although he has escaped from prison, the current situation is not optimistic.
Li Yi is also very aware of this, and since he landed on the island on the first day, he has already investigated the island.
Southeast Asia's island chain is scattered across the Pacific Ocean, and the ecology of each island is different, and there are many islands that maintain a primeval forest. The environment on these islands is not suitable for human habitation, and of course, it seems that the local government has no intention of man-made development, after all, the pristine environment is also a natural museum.
The Santa Prison is located in an even more peculiar place, with a natural prison on one side that is naturally isolated from other islands, and an ancient forest on the other.
The night in the forest was surprisingly quiet, but both Locust and Li Yi knew very well in their hearts that this silence meant silent danger, which was with them everywhere in the forest at any time.
"Leaving at night?" The locust pulls over a branch on the side of the road to remove debris from the path. Although the muscles in his body bulged and he stared at a strong body, it didn't sound like anything from walking through the forest at night, especially in this inaccessible rainforest area.
Of course, Song Yushu didn't dare to come out casually. He had only heard that the forests in this area were very dangerous, but he had neither investigated nor experienced them personally, and this kind of danger in the forest was not real to him.
"It's dark and blind, it doesn't look very reliable." The Black Hole Forest may seem to have no entrances, but it is possible that there are entrances everywhere. Song Yushu swallowed his saliva, in his opinion, as long as he took a step forward, he might not even be able to determine where he was.
"It's okay to stay here." Li Yi spread out his hand, and his tone was very relaxed. "But look at the situation over there, it won't be long before a patrol team formed by the prison guards will search this area."
After listening to Li Yi's words, they looked back and found something unusual. From the top of the Santa Prison, a huge light, which was not usually seen, spread along the top of the spire, and in the dark night, the light began to spin rapidly on the top clouds.
"Maybe that's the case." Seeing this, the locust nodded. "The prison guards here are nominally policemen, but in fact, they are all mercenaries, and their alertness is not ordinarily high."
Song Yushu poked and poked in place, looking at the ground in a daze.
"It's just a prison break, is it necessary to make such a big fanfare?" Song Yushu squinted, and from the huge light, he seemed to see a whole column of armed forces assembled in the square where they had been during the day. Although it is not very clear, it does not have a different response.
"If it's a normal jailbreak, of course you don't need it." Li Yi's eyes have been fixed on the locust, and at this time, he has grasped the key information in the locust's words. "But when the extremely dangerous people escaped, they panicked."
"Extremely dangerous?" The locust shook his head with a wry smile, and casually broke the wrist-thick branch on the side of the road, and the rich sap unexpectedly spewed out.
"The plants here are very unusual." The locusts were at the forefront, reminding the two.
Li Yi followed closely, and they chose a gap in the forest that looked relatively wide, of course, it was said to be a gap, but it was not very spacious, and the distance between the bushes was only enough for a person to pass with his head shrunk. This was even more depressing for the locust, and at first he tried
and cut off the thorns by the roadside with his hands.
But after a few steps deeper, I gave up. In the intertwined rainforest area, there is no way to go.
"Don't bother, let's go inside." Song Yushu shrank his head, his figure was the most slender, and he was not tall, walking through the jungle, but faster than Li Yi and Locust, and he had already caught up with the two of them after a while.
"I think I heard someone talking just now, could it be that they are chasing after me?" Song Yushu said suspiciously, they went into the jungle and walked through it for about an hour, and the bottomless darkness and silence gradually enveloped the three of them.
"They may have searched the vicinity, but they may not have dared to rush in." Li Yi is confident.
"Then let's go." Song Yushu was a little impatient, he took the lead to surpass Locusts and Li Yi, and climbed over the rough wood of the jungle in a few steps, regardless of whether he had his feet or limbs, he could climb and drill, and he was like a rabbit.
"It's safer in the woods." Song Yushu's tone sounded close to ecstasy, and in his eyes, as long as he passed through this jungle, victory was in sight. "I don't know who said it was dangerous, there was no sound at all."
It is true that there is no sound, Li Yi quietly follows at the end, and the heavy breathing of the three people breaks the silence of the forest, but in general, except for the three of them, there is no sound in the forest at all.
"Is it safer?" Li Yi's eyes flickered, in this darkness, quiet is not necessarily safe. "Rather, the quieter it is, the danger lurks behind it."
Song Yushu didn't take this at ease, his current mind was to find a way to cross the rainforest as soon as possible, escape, and then stay away from these two dangerous people. Taking advantage of his small stature, he squeezed a few more steps forward, and slipped through a thick branch in one step, trying to escape further.
Although Song Yushu didn't put this at ease, the locust that followed in the middle in silence stopped in his ears, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. What place is dangerous for him? Where is the safest place?
The locust clenched the branches and pieces of iron in his hands, and fell into deep thought. Li Yi, who was following behind him from afar, took a look at this big drug lord who did all kinds of evil, and on the way to escape, he was in a trance, and these trances were all in Li Yi's eyes, and he looked at them carefully.
Li Yi was about to say something, but Song Yushu's exclamation came from a distance.
They followed the sound, and although they couldn't see their fingers, the forest seemed to suddenly come alive from its sleep, and suddenly there was a great movement. Li Yi rushed out first, he took a few steps out, and ran in the direction of Song Yushu.
Unexpectedly, this short man was already more than ten meters away from them, in the rainforest area, it was almost difficult to walk an inch, step by step in the swampy puddle of terrain, a distance of a few meters was no longer easy to walk, but Song Yushu was like a fish in water, running full.
When Li Yi rushed to Song Yushu's side, he only saw that this kid's face was pale, his teeth couldn't stop chattering, and his hands were shaking.
"Snakes." Without waiting for Li Yi to ask, Song Yushu had already found the two people who rushed over, and his first word was a snake.
Looking back again, a triangular head the thickness of a wrist was prostrate on the ground, and the translucent fluorescent eyes and the scales hidden in the forest could almost drip water, and every time the body squirmed, it made a slippery and disgusting sound.
It looks like a beetle, and its length is hidden in the forest, so it's hard to see clearly, but
Judging by the thickness and size of the head, it is at least three meters long.
"It's not a good thing to deal with." The locust clenched the iron piece in his hand, and when they came out of the prison, there was not a single guy who could use it, and even if there were, the locust did not think that these two imps could come in handy.
"Don't worry, I don't think it has the intention of attacking." Li Yi stopped the locust that was eager to try and dragged Song Yushu back. He knew that the dragons in the rainforest usually eat scavengers, and unless there is a huge difference in size, they will not rush to hunt for food, at most in self-defense. And the one in front of him is obviously not big enough to be able to prey on humans.
He stared carefully at the head of the tree beetle, and the letter spit out from the tip of his mouth suddenly retracted, but his body retreated a little, obviously startled by the three of them.
"Let it go slowly, don't alarm it." Li Yi held down Song Yushu.
Song Yushu's heart can be regarded as bitter. He hurriedly rushed over from the forest, and grabbed the branch in his hand, obviously it was not a branch, just a tree worm hanging upside down among the trees, as soon as he touched this smooth body, Song Yushu's face changed.
However, the result of the cry was even worse, as if it had alarmed the whole forest, except for the tree worm, and more strange things seemed to be hiding in the shadows and waited for him to approach with their mouths open. When he took a few steps to escape, he tripped over the soles of his feet again.
When I looked up again, the huge head of the tree beeper hung in front of my eyes. Song Yushu only felt like eating a dead mouse, and the internal organs were still lunch, gushing out. By the time Li Yi and the locust got closer, he didn't even have the confidence to speak.
The tree worm slowly receded.
But the forest is no longer quiet. The three of them could clearly feel an invisible pressure over the entire rainforest, in addition to the slimy snake, maybe something would come out, but at this time, Song Yushu, who was too frightened, was the first to fall to the ground.
He almost lost consciousness.
"This little ghost is really troublesome." The locust frowned and glared at Song Yushu, kicking his body away like garbage. "Put this guy here, let him be bait, and we'll be able to leave."
The locust looked at Li Yi and said, "You said that he is part of your plan, isn't this just the right time to be implemented?" It's worth it to exchange his cheap life for the two of us. ”
The locust said that it would do it, and the blade-like iron slashed through Song Yushu's wrist, and a blood mark gushed out.
"No matter what monsters are here, come at him, and it's none of our business." The locust threw Song Yushu to the ground and was about to leave, but Li Yi stood still and didn't move.
"What, you're still reluctant?" The locust was not in a hurry to leave, he stood in place and looked at Li Yi.
"It's not." Li Yi sniffed lightly and said, "I just feel that the smell is wrong." ”
The locust was stunned, and he also realized that something was wrong. In the rainforest, like Song Yushu, who was unconscious and dripping with blood, to say the least, would attract a lot of mosquitoes, but after being on the ground for a while, there was no movement.
"Something else." The locusts realized that perhaps something more sinister was haunting the area, causing the more ferocious insects and beasts to dare not approach.
Li Yi took two steps forward, leaned on Song Yushu's chest, pinched Song Yushu's thin two lips, and squeezed out his tongue.
"Miasma poisoning." Li Yi's words made the locust's whole face turn white with fright.
