202. Unexpected out of the mountain
I reflexively turned around, and saw the tail of the long worm smashed into the bamboo row directly behind, and I was terrified. At this moment, he suddenly saw Sheng Shiyao leaping from the air, and the target was the tail of the long worm.
In my stunned gaze, his people rode on it, and because of his jump, the long tail that was originally slapped vertically and down was knocked off, and he brushed the wall down, and finally the bamboo row was only swept to a corner, but even so, the power was not small, and the second half of the bamboo row was pressed into the water, and my body slid down, and I reacted quickly to pick the crack of the bamboo row, so that I did not slip off the bamboo row, but half of my body sank into the ditch.
It doesn't feel right, how can this bug seem to be able to see? The lightning flashed in his head, and he suddenly realized that he shouted loudly: "Sheng Shiyao, that's not the tail of the long worm, it's its head, it can see us!" Regardless of whether this reminder is helpful to Sheng Shiyao or not, I must tell him immediately, and at the moment when my words fell, I heard an indescribable chirp, and then Sheng Shiyao jumped from the top to the front of the bamboo row, and pressed the bamboo row that was inclined to a forty-five degree angle again.
We were already on the slope, so we slid down the water again, and in a blink of an eye we slipped out of dozens of meters, and then I got up from the bamboo raft and turned around to look, and found that the long worm was shrinking into the water a little bit, but it didn't chase it. Remembering the chirp just now, I asked in amazement, "What did you do to it?" ”
"Pierced its skull." Sheng Shiyao said coldly. I stiffened my gaze to look at the Shadow Moon in his hand, which was still dripping with a liquid as black as ink, the blood of the long worm? Black?
Seeing that after the long worm retracted into the water, it didn't come out again, and it probably wouldn't come back to pursue, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked in fear: "What kind of creature is this?" Is it a bug? Sheng Shiyao nodded, "It is a kind of long worm that grows at the bottom of the water, this ditch is not flowing water, but magma, the long worm is a high-temperature resistant creature born in the magma liquid, its shell is actually wrapped in a thick layer of rock, so it is as hard as iron." If I'm not mistaken, there is more than one such worm in this long ditch, otherwise the ditch wouldn't have turned so black. ”
"What? Are you saying that the ditch water turned black because of this long worm? "I was surprised, more of a hair in my heart, more than one, that means there may be another encounter in the future? Sheng Shiyao didn't change his complexion much, but said lightly: "When I rode on it just now, I saw that there would be black juice sprays on both sides of its body, which was darker than the water color, and it should be that it spontaneously produced this juice." ”
I noticed that his arms were all stained with black juice, and I couldn't help but worry, "This ink can't be poisonous, right?" He shook his head, "No, if it's poisonous, I won't be fine, and the water in the ditch will be poisonous." This is supposed to be just a special secretion of this long worm, which may be able to stimulate its potential power. ”
It makes sense to think that Mia is so familiar with this place, if it is poisonous, she will not sneak into the black water and escape. In the end, there was no danger, and neither of them was injured, but they knew that this was just the beginning. The imaginary picture of encountering the long insect again did not appear again, but the water flow became more and more turbulent, and our long bamboo pole also disappeared in the fierce fight with the long insect just now, so it was completely impossible to control the speed and direction of the bamboo raft drift.
During the period, the road encountered a turning point many times, collided with the corner, and bounced off again, and the bamboo row almost turned over several times, which can be described as thrilling. When you get to the place where the water is not in a hurry, you can breathe a little easier, but it is really a kung fu to slow down, and immediately usher in the next wave of "torrent bravery". After nearly two hours of tossing and bumping, it gradually turned into a gentle slope, and the speed of the bamboo raft finally slowed down.
But I couldn't relax, because I found that the space was getting bigger and bigger, the ditch was no longer a ditch, but a long river, with a width of more than ten meters and a height, and it became very empty. I took a deep breath and asked worriedly, "Isn't there going to be anything waiting for us?" "This kind of spacious space, if there are long worms, it is estimated that it must be as huge as the rift that attacked us before.
Sheng Shiyao didn't reply to me, his eyes probed in the dark, and after a while, we were surprised to find that there was a huge hole in front of us, which was ...... Out of the mountains? I couldn't believe it, I thought that what was waiting for us was a more dangerous encounter than before, and I never thought that it would be a huge natural hole waiting for us. When the bamboo raft floated outside the cave on its own, there was still a feeling of being in the clouds, but when we looked up, we could see the night sky, and we were indeed out of the cave and outside the mountain.
I instinctively turned to look at Sheng Shiyao, and saw that there was also a look of hesitation on his face, obviously even he didn't believe that he could go out of the hinterland of the mountains so easily. But what is this place? Obviously not where we came up.
A layer of mist drifted on the water, making the vision hazy, and we vaguely saw the shadows of the mountains, surrounded by mountains on all sides, as if we had entered a canyon. The bamboo raft floated to the calm place on the water, but it no longer moved, and there was no shore within sight, and there was no bamboo pole, how could we move forward, so that we would not always be floating in the center of the river.
The water here is not as dark as the previous long ditch, it cannot be said to be clear, but it also looks normal. Judging by this, there should be no such long worms that secrete ink. The method was thought up by people, and after a moment of hesitation, Sheng Shiyao untied the filament that bound the bamboo row and pulled out a thin bamboo, although it was not thicker than the original bamboo pole, but it could still be used to cross the water.
The bamboo raft is finally getting closer to the shore, and it is better to be down-to-earth than to be on the floating water. When I stepped ashore, I was dizzy for a moment, but only for a moment, and I didn't care. It's a pity that the jar of honey sesame paste fell into the ditch during the fierce fight with the long worm, and it still didn't finish eating.
As we walked along the riverbank, we gradually noticed that it seemed to be inhabited, because along the road we could see the cultivated land and the vegetables were planted in the fields. The fog in the mountains is thick, and the vision is becoming more and more unclear, even if the flashlight is shining, it is only two or three meters of sight. Sheng Shiyao decided not to go any further, and confirmed that there were people here, which meant that we might have really entered the mysterious tribe, or we had gone to another tribe, just in case, or we should make plans after dawn when the fog cleared.
I found a vacant space in front of the mountain, sat on the ground, and I didn't feel it when I was on alert, but I started to feel cold when I was quiet and planned to rest, and most of my body was immersed in water before, so the clothes on my body were wet, and I was blown by the mountain wind, and the cold that I couldn't resist seeped into my bones, and I shivered. Sheng Shiyao frowned when he saw me like this, and said in a low voice, "You wait here, I'll go pick up some dry firewood and come back to light the fire." ”
I have no opinion, watching him walk into the thick fog, vaguely recognizable in the distance, knowing that he has not gone far, and I am relieved. Another gust of wind blew, and I hugged my knees and curled them together as much as I could, but the chill and my own yin qi emanated made my clenched teeth tremble. When Sheng Shiyao came back, he saw my trembling appearance, and without saying a word, he took off his shirt and put it on me, but he himself was naked.
I wanted to say that he would be cold, but he was so cold that he couldn't speak, so I could only watch as he came out of nowhere and lit a flint, and soon a small bonfire was erected. Fortunately, there are many trees in the mountains, so I don't worry about running out of firewood to burn.
Sheng Shiyao turned around and glanced at me, and suddenly said, "Take off your wet clothes and dry them." I was stunned, and he continued without moving: "I'll light another fire in front, and you will hand it to me when you take off your clothes." With that, he took two steps forward, set up the firewood, lit another bonfire, and without looking back, ordered, "Bring it." ”
I hesitated for a moment, but listened to him, slowly took off the wet clothes that were stuck to my body, which was also his coat, and handed it over. After he took it, he said after a few seconds, "And the pants, bring them too." After some struggle, Suo Suo took off his jeans and handed them over, but fortunately his shirt was long enough, and I was petite, so after putting on his shirt, it could cover his thighs, and I didn't feel so embarrassed.
But after a few minutes, he suddenly coughed lightly twice and asked, "Is there anything else?" My face turned red and I stuttered back, "No...... Without. He was silent for a moment and said in a low voice: "It's not good to wear wet, it's just the two of us here, you don't need to guard against me." I couldn't laugh or cry, and whispered, "Where is there any defense against you, it's just ...... It's just that I'll bake it myself, don't look back. So he didn't say anything more.
Pretending to know all about Suosuo's clothes, and then staring at his bare shoulders in a daze, jokes, no matter how thick the lines are, I don't dare to take off the only piece of clothing left under the shirt in front of him to dry. The bonfire was finally strong enough, and soon the underwear gradually dried, and the chill was no longer as strong as before. When Sheng Shiyao dried all the clothes and handed them over, I only took my trousers, and didn't take the rest of the coat, "You can wear this, I'll just wear your shirt." ”
He didn't refuse, silently put on his clothes, and when I was dressed, he turned around, his dark eyes stared at me, and my cheeks turned red inexplicably. I didn't feel anything about the ambiguous scene just now, but I was shy when he saw it. He got up and walked to me, and after adding some wood to the fire, he took me in front of him, "Sleep." ”
I nodded obediently, I was indeed sleepy, and when I was in a daze just now, I started to fight between my upper eyelids and my lower eyelids, and I was able to hold on to this. The warmth of his chest reached me through the warmth of his clothes, and he closed his eyes in peace. But in the next moment, I felt the corners of my lips touch softly, and I opened my eyes to meet the dark eyes that were close at hand.
