Junko thought for a moment and said, "Let's wrap a bag of mud in a tarp and stick a torch in the mud so that we won't be afraid of burning ourselves." As soon as I thought it was okay, I nodded in agreement, and then Junko climbed up the tree, hung the tarp and silt with a rope and fixed it, poured oil on it, and this time it was lit directly, and Junko hurriedly pulled us up and sat down. The fat man looked fat, but this skill was quite flexible, the straight was pulling on the top, Qin Feng and I were pushing it up at the bottom, and when we all sat on the trunk, we tied ourselves to the trunk with a belt to prevent ourselves from falling. At a height of five or six meters, even if you don't fall to death, you can break a bone.

Junko cut a few grooves in the trunk of the tree above and below us, pulled out a few smoking wet wood from the fire and inserted it to prevent snakes from crawling overhead and under the tree, after doing this, we were all a lot more at ease, five or six meters from the ground, the fog was much thinner, Junko took off the gas mask and smelled for a while to signal that we could breathe, and we all took off the gas masks. Although the air still smelled musty, it was much better than the smell of gas masks, so I took out compressed biscuits and gave them them, and the fat man took out a jug of wine and put it in the fire to heat it up.

Compressed biscuits don't taste great, but for those of us who have been hungry for more than a dozen hours, they're delicious. We ate two of them and drank a few sips of hot wine to warm up, and suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.

Although it was still dark around now, it was not so scary to have a fire around. There were still more than three hours before dawn, and a few of us discussed it, taking turns to keep vigil, Qin Feng and I slept for two hours first, and then replaced the fat man and the straight son.

Although it was not very comfortable to lie on the trunk of a slippery tree with a belt around my waist, after such a long period of walking with weights, I fell asleep in a daze within a minute.

This sleep was very unstable, and in our dreams we were all chased by pythons, and we were almost swallowed by pythons several times. Suddenly, I felt that someone had been tapped on the shoulder a few times, and I barely opened my eyes to see the fat man, and I realized that it was a dream. I sat up and rubbed my face, took a sip of the water the fat man gave me, lit a cigarette and took a few puffs before I could barely sober up. Over there, Qin Feng had already woken up, replacing Junzi and looking around vigilantly.

The blackness in front of me had begun to fade, and when I looked at my watch, it was already half past five. There was still more than an hour before dawn, and at this time, I remembered the compass last night and asked Qin Feng: "Little brother, last night you said that we were put together, what is going on." Qin Feng didn't say much, so he took out a palm-sized compass from his arms and handed it to me, saying that you can see for yourself. I'm already used to Qin Feng's character, and I don't care about it, so I just picked up the compass and put it to look at it.

I felt frightened at this glance, the magnetic needle in the Tianchi was rotating rapidly at this time, and it could not be used to locate it at all.

I also know a little bit about the compass, and those who do antique business, especially those who resell Ming utensils, will have a little simple feng shui survey, and this compass is also the most basic tool. As long as you follow the direction of the magnetic needle, you can survey the feng shui of a place, and in some strange places, the magnetic needle will also have a different state, but this is the first time I have seen this rapid rotation.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but look at Qin Feng, and asked in confusion: "The magnetic needle rotates in a circle, is the surrounding magnetic field unstable?" Qin Feng took the compass, "There is still a difference between the compass and the compass, there are many small magnetic field changes, and the compass cannot be seen." The magnetic needle keeps spinning, and the magnetic field around it keeps changing, and if we really follow the compass, then we will be trapped here. ”

"That.. Is this change coincidental or artificial? ”

"It's not clear yet, there is a certain amount of interference in the rainforest itself, which I have been prepared for, and deliberately expanded the margin of error, but I didn't expect this to happen, and then we can only judge the direction according to the sun and star charts. If it's artificial, then there must be something around here that doesn't want to be found by us, or rather, it's just trying to trap us. Qin Feng said faintly.

Now I already have a sense of powerlessness, I have experienced so many things before I find the ancient tomb, the giant python, the snake, the labyrinth, so if I enter the ancient tomb, what will happen. At this time, I thought, can we really enter the ancient tomb smoothly? This series of events has already begun to have a kind of psychological pressure on me.

"Actually, you can't come, or you shouldn't be in this muddy water." Qin Feng suddenly said such a sentence to me, I didn't react for a while, and after a few seconds, I smiled bitterly, "Hey, I don't want to come either, it's just that someone wants to drag me into this troubled water, so why are you coming?" Qin Feng didn't expect me to ask him, so he lowered his head and pondered for a while before saying, "I'm here for an answer, an answer that I'm not sure about." Then he didn't answer any more than I asked, and looked at the fire with a confused look in his eyes.

An uncertain answer? I can understand that Qin Feng came here for the sake of the Ming Weapon or for the money, but for an answer, I really can't figure it out. At this time, I looked at Qin Feng and felt that there seemed to be a lot of mysteries on his body, but there was a layer of fog that I couldn't grasp or understand.

Everyone here has their own purpose, Shunzi is to protect me, the fat man is to get the corpse of the ancient Shu king, Qin Feng is for an answer, now think about it, I am actually more pitiful than Qin Feng, until now, I have been led by the nose all the way, I don't know what I'm going to do, why am I doing this.

Qin Feng and I didn't talk anymore, we lit two cigarettes and smoked together, now the cigarettes, the medicinal value has been brought into play, tobacco has a strong dehumidification ability, those people in the rainforest in Yunnan are all carrying a pack of dry tobacco leaves, basically the smoke does not leave the hand.

When I finished smoking the third cigarette, Qin Feng patted me and said, "Okay, don't think so much, remember, I won't harm you, I'm on your side." ”

"On my side?" I couldn't help but smile bitterly, until now, I don't know which side I am on.

Qin Feng crawled over and woke up the fat man and Shunzi, lit the smokeless stove and began to cook for us. It was already dawn, and although the sun was not visible in the woods, the fog under the trees had begun to dissipate, and the darkness around them had disappeared a lot, and the oppressive feeling of the night had diminished a lot. But I still feel like there's a rock hanging in my heart, and I just don't know when that stone will fall, and besides, who it will hit.
