"We're not going to be lost, are we? Or rather, what kind of phantom array is here? ”

The fat man looked around with some uncertainty and asked weakly.

Gao Xing looked around, shook his head and said, "There is no phantom array, it's just that we keep going around and around, and the actual distance we walked is not far." ”

Indeed, there is simply no way to go straight in this valley.

Almost all of them are soft meadows, waterplains, dense bushes and rocks.

So, you can only go around and around the curve.

It's like eighteen bends in a mountain road.

"Why don't you find a place to rest, it's getting dark and you're hungry."

"Okay, find a dry and open place."

A few minutes later, the four of them set up an improvised tent in a rocky thicket.

And set up a fire.

"It's also strange here, there isn't even a hare, otherwise you can roast a hare to solve the slander."

After the fat man said this, Hu Bayi also came back to his senses and wondered: "Yes, such a big valley, there are no small animals?" ”

Shirley Yang guessed: "I guess even if there was before, it was eaten by the bugs here." ”

"But that's not right, we haven't seen many mosquitoes and the like along the way......"

"Fatty, your uncle, listen to what you mean, I still wish I met a large group, right?"

"Old Hu, how do you speak? Isn't this just weird for me......"

The four of them chatted while munching on jerky.

Jerky is an essential food for expeditions.

High energy and easy to carry.

It was getting dark......

Gao Xing looked up and said, "Okay, you guys should rest first, let's take turns keeping vigil." ”

"Okay!"

Hu Bayi responded.

As a result, the three of them had not yet laid down, and suddenly, a dull buzzing sound came from far and near......

"What sound? Feeling a bit like an airplane? ”

"No, there should be a large number of mosquitoes flying over."

Shirley Yang's face changed, and she hurriedly took out a bag from her bag.

In the bag, there was some compressed wormwood fleece.

This thing is better used to repel mosquitoes.

"Damn, so many ......"

The fat man ran outside, and by the light of the fire, he saw that there were many mosquitoes flying around.

At first glance, it doesn't look like ordinary mosquitoes, they are about the size of a little finger, and you can even faintly see their red eyes.

"Quick, burn them with torches!"

As soon as Hu Ba came back to his senses, he hurriedly rushed to the side of the fire and pulled out a burning torch.

Shirley Young hurriedly threw a bag of wormwood fleece into the fire......

For a moment, smoke billowed out.

The unique medicinal scent of wormwood fills the air.

For the human body, the smell of wormwood burning smoke has a faint fragrance, and it can also have a refreshing effect.

But for mosquitoes, it's a nemesis.

This is called one thing descending from one thing.

With the thick smoke, those mosquitoes really didn't dare to approach, but just circled around.

"Damn, I'm going to burn them!"

The fat man put on his insect suit tightly, brandished his torches, and charged into battle like a general.

Although these mosquitoes are large, they cannot resist when they encounter fire, and a large pile of charred corpses soon falls on the ground.

Gao Xing took out a Dao Talisman and directly caused the Dao Talisman to explode, just like setting off fireworks, which was more efficient.

It lasted for about ten minutes, and finally the mosquitoes that attacked were almost solved.

The surroundings began to slowly fall silent.

Although the incoming mosquitoes were easily wiped out, Gao Xing and the others did not dare to take it lightly.

This is also a wake-up call for them.

After all, this is Worm Valley.

This time it's just the bigger mosquitoes, so what about next time?

What if something is not afraid of fire......

"Forget it, I'm not going to sleep, it's better to keep vigil with multiple people."

Obviously, Hu Bayi also realized that it was not safe here, so he sat down by the fire and began to guard the surroundings.

In the second half of the night, the fat man replaced Hu Bayi.

Gao Xing, on the other hand, had been sitting by the fire to breathe, and at the same time, he had a trace of energy to guard the surroundings.

Fortunately, except for this false alarm, nothing happened overnight.

The next day, the four of them continued on their way.

This time there was finally a pleasant discovery......

They found a number of monuments, as well as a large number of traces of human activity.

However, due to the erosion of time and the heavy humidity in the valley, these monuments have almost collapsed, or have been flooded with all kinds of grass and rattan......

"Look, there's a broken wall there."

"Let's go, see if there's any text on it or something."

The group walked to the ruined wall.

This remnant wall, which is a mixture of mountain stone and rammed earth, looks quite thick.

But no matter how thick it is, it can't withstand the passage of time, and gradually blends in with the surrounding natural environment.

The walls are covered with unknown rattans and thick moss.

"Scrape the moss off and see if you can find words, patterns, and so on."

Just as the four of them were about to act, suddenly, a fishy wind blew, and there was a sudden rustling sound from the grass on both sides.

"It's not good, get back!"

With Gao Xing's shout, snakes of all sizes, innumerable, flowers suddenly poured out of the grass.

None of the four knew these snakes.

The spots on their bodies are rather strange and not at all regular. And it seems that each one is different, and the colors are also mixed.

The long one is about two or three meters, and the short one is only the length of chopsticks.

The snakes were surging, and Gao Xing and the others didn't have time to run away at all, so they were surrounded in the middle.

"Day, I'm afraid there are tens of thousands?" The fat man was so frightened that his legs went limp, and his voice trembled.

"I'm afraid of birds, they're not as powerful as black snakes, right?"

"Well, there shouldn't be...... But can this insect suit prevent them? ”

"What do you say? How can so many be prevented? ”

Gao Xing glanced at it, pointed in the direction where the encirclement was rather weak, and said, "Rush out from here!" ”

As he spoke, he casually slapped out a flame talisman, which shocked the group of snakes into chaos.

"Run!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the four of them rushed into the snake pile desperately.

Anyway, there is an insect protective suit on the body, which is estimated to be able to resist for a while.

Gao Xing wielded a peachwood sword in front of him, killing a bloody path.

Hu Bayi, Fat Man, and Shirley Yang also wielded tools such as shovels, slapping the surging snakes, and even rushed out directly on the snakes.

Fortunately, after rushing out of the snakes, no one noticed dizziness.

This fully shows that this insect repellent clothing is still relatively reliable.

After running for a while, the fat man looked back and found that the snakes had not chased after him, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Damn, it's disgusting to see so many snakes together for the first time."

"I guess there's a huge snake nest next to the broken wall......"

"Then forget it, don't go over there, change the direction and continue to the middle."

After discussing for a while, the four of them changed directions, circled, and continued to walk towards the middle of the valley.

After walking for about half an hour, the fog thickened.

"Is this a miasma?"

The fat man asked with some weakness.

"This shouldn't be a miasma, but miasma tends to be mixed in fog, so we have to be extra careful, and it's better to put on a gas mask......"
