By the time the last needle fog was raised, Pan Jiuzhou's group had already become hedgehogs, and the neckline, cuffs, belts, trouser legs, and all the exposed seams on the clothes were all swollen and swollen by pine needles, not to mention that the rest of the body was also covered with green pine needles.

The needle fog stopped, but Pan Jiuzhou and his gang didn't dare to move at will, one by one, on tiptoe, like thieves, carefully walked out of the area covered with pine needles, and then began to clean up the needles on their bodies.

I looked at Pan Jiuzhou's tired and anxious look, and I didn't dare to move casually, and I wanted to be happy.

Zuo Youdao muttered quietly beside him: "It hurts to look at." ”

I said, "It's a little bit of pain, if it were for us, we would be able to endure it." But some people, just stay in the greenhouse for a long time, don't suffer, give him a little frustration, a little tiredness, and a little pain, and they will collapse. ”

Zuo Youdao couldn't help laughing: "What you say is like singing." ”

Immediately, he changed his slightly serious expression and asked, "Are you sure about the next level?" ”

I can't give a positive answer, I can only say: "It's definitely no problem to break the level, as for whether you can control those mandrills, it depends on whether these mandrills in captivity in Guiyin Mountain are the same thing as the mandrills we expected." ”

Here I was chatting with Zuo Youdao, when I heard the sound of tearing clothes from Pan Jiuzhou.

Snort -

When I looked up, I saw Pan Jiuzhou tearing a companion's shirt, and then he also pulled out a two-foot-long gourd hammer from his waist and smashed it at his companion, scolding while smashing.

After listening to Pan Jiuzhou's scolding, I realized that when the man helped him clean the pine needles on his back just now, it hurt him because his hand trembled, which was not a big deal, but he couldn't bear Pan Jiuzhou's irritability, so the scene in front of him appeared.

Zuo Youdao looked at Pan Jiuzhou's actions and couldn't help frowning.

Seriously, I can't stand it anymore, so ...... I chose not to watch it.

I patted my thigh, got up from my chair, and said to the guide behind me without looking back, "Let Pan Jiuzhou and them rest in place for twenty minutes." ”

The guide was a little confused at first, but soon understood what I meant and nodded at me.

Then I beckoned everyone and continued our journey deeper into the mountain stream.

In the afternoon, the sun set in the west, and the entire mountain stream was shrouded in shadows, and Pan Jiuzhou they could not see the situation on this side of the grass hut, and they would not find that we had stayed here.

It is estimated that in their eyes, the two teams of me and Liang Houzai are still trapped in the Gu Mountain.

When I was about to walk to the exit of the mountain stream, Brother Niu suddenly ran over to me and asked, "What do you think?" ”

I couldn't help but wonder a little, "What are you talking about?" ”

Brother Niu said: "Why do you want to let Pan Jiuzhou's gang rest in place? ”

Hey? Didn't he grow up in the mountains, how could he not even see through such a simple thing, it seems a bit unreasonable, right?

But after thinking about it, I understood that Brother Niu's physical fitness was much better than that of ordinary people, and he probably didn't encounter the situation of walking mountain roads to exhaustion of physical strength.

I told Brother Niu that sitting down and resting immediately after strenuous exercise will not only not relieve fatigue, but also aggravate fatigue, especially in the mountains, you try to run crazy for 30 kilometers, and then find a mountain to sit down and blow the mountain wind, I guarantee that you will never get up again after sitting down for 20 minutes.

Pan Jiuzhou and they drove the mountain all night last night, and cut down trees for several hours during the day, and after entering the Thousand Spider Array, they jumped and jumped, and now they are weak and bloody, and the limelight at the mouth of the stream is very strong, so let them rest there for twenty minutes, in order to continue to abuse their physical strength.

When I said this, Liang Houzai began to worry again: "You say, will that Xu Shigao see the problem?" ”

"It's useless for him to see the problem," I turned to Liang Houzai and said, "With Pan Jiuzhou's temperament, even if Xu Shigao advises him to continue walking, he will insist on stopping and resting. If you want to talk about that Pan Jiuzhou, it is the flowers cultivated in the greenhouse, and he can't stand the tiredness. ”

Although Liang Houzai nodded, the doubts on his face still did not dissipate.

I found that Liang Houzai has a problem, he is smart and smart, but he is easy to be timid and hesitant when doing things.

If you want to give advice and insight into opportunities, Brother Xiaoliang is really powerful, this cannot be denied, but if you want him to make a decision, it will be a little difficult for him.

Liang Houzai is good at scheming, Zuo Youdao is good at decisiveness, and the combination of the two of them can be regarded as a combination of gold and jade.

Out of the mountain stream, is a valley full of moisture, there should be a lot of swamps in this place, I swept it with my big eyes, and found that many places have wild mushrooms, alder and other vegetation, and you can also faintly see some purple celandine, like these vegetation are common in swamps, but due to the relatively large growth density of vegetation, you can't see the mud soup and water on the ground, which makes the swamp zone more dangerous.

I guess the reason why this place is called the Valley of the Clouds is because the swamp often returns to the tide and forms mist, and when you look at the valley from the mouth of the valley, you can see a large area of mist and miasma, as if the clouds from the sky have fallen into the valley.

However, at this hour, the wind is constantly flowing in the mountain stream, and the moisture in the valley of gloomy clouds cannot be condensed into a mist miasma.

I asked Zhang Donghai: "Your branch also has a feng shui heritage, right?" ”

Zhang Donghai nodded quickly: "I don't know much." ”

Since the people of Jingzimai know some feng shui, it should not be difficult to avoid the swamp, so I relaxed my heart a little, waved my hand, and led everyone to move on.

I used the method of five elements to calculate the distribution area of the swamp, and led everyone along the dry road, during which everyone looked left and right from time to time, carefully looking for traces of mandrills.

Speaking of mandrills, there are three completely different records about them in ancient books, the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" says that they are a kind of upside-down fur-covered giants, and the "Chinese" says that they are a kind of one-legged cattle, but most of the ancient books in the industry equate mandrill and dwarf mules, mandrills, that is, dwarf mules.

Many people think that dwarf mules are spirits in the mountains, but in fact, they are a special kind of ape, most of them are not as tall as the waist of adults, and only a few mutated ones can grow to one meter four. The IQ of this thing is between that of humans and chimpanzees, but its living habits are different from those of other living creatures, most of the other creatures have the habit of tending to the yang and avoiding the yin, and the dwarf mule is the opposite, they prefer to drill into places where the yin qi is heavy.

It is precisely because the dwarf mules are washed by yin qi all the year round that most of their temperaments are vicious and perverse, and they are particularly vindictive.

But dwarf mules like yin energy, and for a reason.

I've read from the old man's ancient books that the dwarf mule is a very rare double soul body, they have two souls in their body, a yang soul and a yin soul, the yang soul is used to maintain their vital signs, and the yin soul can give them psychic abilities. It is said that whenever you fall asleep, the yin spirit in the mule's body will sink to the ground and enter the underworld. They accept the drive of the ghost pawn in the yin cao, and use it in exchange for the next life of yang longevity.

So theoretically, in the hierarchical system of the underworld, the dwarf mule is equivalent to a kind of errand with a lower status than the ghost pawn, and I can control the ghost pawn, and I should be able to control these dwarf mules.

As for whether such a theory can stand the test of practice, it is difficult to say at present, and we are not sure whether the mandrills in the Valley of the Sorrowful Clouds are dwarf mules or not.

When we walked past a swamp, Huang Yuzhong and Liu Shangang noticed the problem at the same time, when Huang Yuzhong just raised his hand to the southeast and gave me a look, while Liu Shangang directly picked up the sniper rifle and opened the safe.

Fortunately, Zuo Youdao reacted quickly, grabbed the gun and asked Liu Shangang to put the gun down, as long as he was a little slower, Liu Shangang had already compacted the trigger.

I looked in the southeast direction, and sure enough, I saw a dark shadow squatting in the grass, my eyesight was still different from Huang Yuzhong's, I could only see the outline of the thing, but I couldn't see its specific appearance, but judging by the size, this guy should be a dwarf mule.

"It's supposed to be a dwarf mule." Huang Yuzhong whispered.

I nodded, reached into my trouser pocket, grabbed the Netherworld Treasure, and pulled out two streams of pure yin qi from the Netherworld Treasure.

As soon as this yin qi appeared, the valley suddenly became agitated, and the impatient "rustle" sound gathered towards us from all directions, and the grass set off one wave after another, during which a large black figure could be vaguely seen coming along the gap between the grass.

At that time, almost the entire valley was moving, but I didn't expect that Guiyin Mountain would raise so many dwarf mules here.

It didn't take long for the agitation to cease abruptly, and circles of dwarf mules surrounded us, and they sat motionless on the ground, staring at us in a daze.

Liu Shangang swallowed his saliva: "If these dwarf mules attack together, what are our chances of winning?" ”

Liang Houzai said: "The spiritual charm on these dwarf mules is very weak, and it is not difficult to suppress them, but it is difficult to let everyone stand out unharmed. ”

I took out a blank piece of paper, wrote a few ghost inscriptions on it, and then flipped the paper over so that the few dwarf mules closest to me could see the handwriting on it.

The dwarf mule can't read human language, but it should be able to recognize ghost scripts.

What I wrote on the paper was: "Let your leaders come out." ”

As expected, these dwarf mules who had worked errands in the underworld really knew the ghost text, and when they saw the ghost text, several dwarf mules exchanged heads and ears for a while, and then they turned their heads and let out a low roar of "silk" behind them.

It wasn't long before an extraordinarily burly mule approached me, and the mules around it automatically made way between me and it.
