That night, the group spent the night in the forest.

The jungle was damp, and the fire did not spread on a large scale, and thanks to this fire, it burned and smoked, which not only burned an empty field, but also drove away most of the insects, and some of the dampness.

Ramos sprinkled some of his own insect repellent on the ground, spread the blanket on the ground, sat on the ground, and told everyone about the precautions for the night, and everyone took out dry food and listened while eating.

A few orange lightstone lamps were planted next to the makeshift camp, the flame-like color that scared off some of the beasts.

"We have just lined up the order of night duty, as long as everyone is vigilant, there is nothing to worry about. There's one thing I'll say ahead of time, so as not to make a fuss. ”

Ramos pointed to a ring of pale green moss the size of a water tank not far away, "Remember the Hell Sponge I mentioned?"

Everyone nodded, and Duck said, "It doesn't move during the day, and it ...... at night Lots of activity?"

"Yes, the evening is when it eats and grows like crazy. If you hear grinding your teeth and chewing while sleeping, it's eating, and if you tear paper, you're growing your body, so you don't need to be nervous when you hear these two sounds, just get used to it. Let it last overnight, and tomorrow morning we will harvest it, and we will have time to tidy up our equipment in the morning, and we will set off close to noon. ”

Yu Panji said: "The supplies we brought are relatively sufficient, and we can also hunt birds and beasts directly from the forest to eat, so we don't need supplies for the time being—can this thing be eaten?"

"It's poisonous, swamp ants like to eat it, and people have diarrhea after eating it. Have you noticed that the bodies of those who were choked and burned to death are gone?"

Isabella snapped up: "What? Could it be swallowed by it?"

"Correct. It doesn't eat anything but meat, and the green circle you see is its mouth. Don't be afraid, it won't move, as long as you don't lie stupidly in its mouth for more than an hour, it won't swallow you, and it swallows very slowly, let me put it this way, as long as you can still move, it won't catch you. ”

Yupanki exclaimed, "Can it swallow a whole person?"

"Not only that, but a wild boar and a leopard can swallow it. It is born on the ground in a small part, and underneath it is a long, large bag that you can think of as a huge stomach with an opening directly above. These stomachs are connected by thin fibrous tubes at the bottom of the stomach, and when food is stored in one stomach, the nutrients produced by digestion are transported through the tubes to the other stomachs. ”

Duck said, "How many of these things are in this swamp?"

"It's everywhere, it likes to be wet, and wherever there's fresh water, it's likely to survive. ”

"So what do we do when it grows out from under our bodies while we sleep?"

"It's simple, a drop of salt water will dry it out. ”

Duck was stunned: "Salt water?"

"Yes, in order to adapt to the humid and freshwater environment, its body surface is composed of exocrine cells, and it relies on secreting interstitial fluid to maintain the balance of internal and external fluid concentration, and secreting interstitial fluid requires a large amount of water. If a small grain of salt falls in the water......"

Duck snapped his fingers: "Understood, the salt solution is a strong electrolyte, which will destroy its cells, causing a large amount of tissue fluid extravasation, and the salt and its tissue fluid will be mixed into a high-concentration solution, forcibly increasing its cell osmotic pressure, and eventually dehydration and death!"

The alchemist and the alchemist smiled at each other, and the other three were stunned for a moment, and Isabella said, "What are you talking about?

Duck laughed: "You can just think of it as a plant leech, afraid of salt." So, that's clear enough, right?" After speaking, he said to Ramos: "What is the best concentration ratio?"

"1:500 and 1:1000. ”

"Got it, I see why you're spending the morning sorting out your gear. ”

Enya poked her head out at the right time: "Why?"

Duck was confident: "You'll know tomorrow morning." ”

Ramos pulled out four small bottles filled with salt water and placed them in the four corners of the rest area, with their mouths facing downward, slowly oozing salt water from the mouth of the bottles, which had never been completely closed, so as to effectively prevent the growth of infernal sponges under his body while sleeping.

The five of them briefly discussed the route of the next day, and then rested early.

The first to be on duty was Isabella, who spent the first two hours in fear, but fortunately it was not completely night, and all kinds of dangerous animals were either dormant in their nests, or it was not yet time to forage and move.

The second on duty at night was Ramos, who was in charge of the two-hour guard from eight to ten o'clock, and the old fritter was experienced and did not make any mistakes.

The third was Yupanki, a saber-toothed warrior who was an expert in jungle warfare and had a lot of experience in keeping vigils, from ten to twelve, unharmed.

The fourth period is midnight, which is quite a dangerous stage, the activity of various nocturnal creatures has reached its peak, and Duck wanted to come by himself, but Enya insisted on coming, so he had to give it to her. There was no abnormality, only a leopard with no eyes probed its brain nearby, and was cut in two.

Finally, between two and four a.m., the darkest hours before dawn, when many creatures, including humans, were asleep and when many bush killers were active, Duck himself went into battle.

Overhead, the shadows of the trees and the dancing orange light stone lights were heard, the smoke of the embers being extinguished by the moisture came from the flanks of the nose, and the muffled snoring and rustle of the wind shaking the canopy in the ears.

Yupanki and Ramos slept very soundly, Yupanki snored like thunder, and he had to grind his teeth every ten or so blows. Ramos turned his face sideways, snoring and drooling, soaked a piece of the mat, soaked his ears, he touched his ears, muttered a few words in a daze, turned over and snored again.

Duck couldn't help but chuckle. Eyes on the two girls on the other side of the campfire.

Enya slept very calmly, her delicate face seemed to be carved out of white marble, even in her dreams, there was no expression, her slightly undulating shoulders and well-proportioned breathing indicated that she was entering a pleasant deep sleep.

You don't even need to use a spider silk circle, don't you worry about your safety at all? It's really not like the Spider Queen.

Isabella on the side was obviously not so calm, and the girl wrapped the blanket very tightly and wrapped her neck hard, as if only the small blanket could give her a little sense of security. Her brow furrowed tightly, her long eyelashes fluttering a few times from time to time, and it was clear that what she had seen in her dream was anything but a good scene.

Duck couldn't help but feel distressed, poor girl, since she left Port Snell, she didn't know if she had a good night's sleep!

I'm so sorry that I got you involved, and you had to wander around with me, and you had to go against the Cult of Light in turn. However, you must not want to go back to your old life, right?

How could I not?

A small temporary patrol officer can actually cross most of the continent and come to this southern jungle. What a wonderful situation in life!

It's really an era of change, everyone is changing, and those who can't keep up can only be abandoned and crushed.

George, the Three Sages of Alchemy, Aubrey, Patrick, and Ramos in front of him, the more I deal with these alchemists, the more I feel that I know too little, and the more I feel a sense of crisis.

Alchemy is not a shenanigan, but a force that creates and destroys worlds.

People should be in control of their own destiny.

Think about the self before, relying on brute strength, working more than ten hours a day, saving money for penny by penny, most of it fills his belly and his sister's belly, the remaining half saves for his sister's tuition, and half buys indulgences, and I feel quite happy, now think about it?

I'm already awake, more people are still sleeping, I have to wake them up.

The Cult of Light, you unique and greatest liar in history, wait and see!

Dark's gaze moved back to Isabella, and he was surprised to see that the girl's smooth face was covered with a long, black claw, and a sharp nail flashing with cold light, slowly hovering at the base of her ear!
