After entering the jungle, the light suddenly dimmed, as if suddenly from day to evening. The layers of leaves above the head block the light tightly, giving people an unusually cold feeling.

From the outside, the jungle seems to be very dense and impassable, but in fact there is no shortage of roads, all kinds of large and small beast paths crisscross and stretch into the endless distance. These paths have been trampled repeatedly, forming unusually solid roads on which even weeds and moss cannot grow.

On both sides, a large number of trees were newly knocked down, and they were all over the place, obviously because of the beast tide just now, and there were still blood stains and bones on the ground, but there were few corpses to be seen. Luo Yuan saw countless hideous beetles under the white bones scattering as the monitor lizard approached.

Luo Yuan's heart was heavy, the volcanic eruption obviously did not make all creatures leave the area, there were still some creatures that were slow to react to danger or moved slowly.

The monitor lizard kept moving along a wide animal path. Along the way, you can see all kinds of strange and strange large trees, old vines, and colorful and huge strains growing in the shade of the trees.

Although everyone looked frightened, their eyes looked around curiously, and they were a little dizzying.

After the end of the world, the evolutionary frenzy of living things began, and the variety of species has reached an astonishing level, and all living things have evolved towards as diverse as possible, even if it is the same kind of creature, hundreds or even thousands of evolutionary categories may develop.

Most of the categories are eliminated from the competition, and those that survive continue to evolve and so on......

Traces of human architecture can be seen everywhere on the ground, and these traces vaguely show that this was once the territory of humans.

The monitor lizard kept walking forward, and it seemed quite calm all the way, and it was almost difficult to see a mutated creature, except for some insects that seemed more silent, and the surroundings were quiet, and it seemed very quiet.

After two hours of travel, it was already completely dark, and Luo Yuan looked at his watch. It was only three o'clock at this time, and at this point in the past, the sun was far from setting, and it was at least two or three hours before it got dark, but now, it was already dark.

Not only because of the dense jungle that obscures the light, but also because of volcanic eruptions, a large amount of smoke and dust obscuring the sun's willingness.

Luo Yuan patted the monitor lizard on the shoulder and told it to lie down, then took the unconscious Wang Xiaguang from Huang Jiahui's hand, turned over and jumped down.

Several other people also slipped off the monitor lizard's back one by one, their feet were weak, and several people fell to the ground, the breath of the monitor lizard's dark blue creatures was not so pleasant, and several ordinary people stayed on its back for so long, and the extreme depression of their spirits coupled with the exhaustion of their bodies had already made their hands and feet weak.

Luo Yuan hugged Wang Xiaguang and looked around carefully, the ground here was flat, and there were not many traces of buildings, Luo Yuan guessed that this area should have been a piece of farmland.

Before they knew it, they had already walked out of the suburbs.

It's a pity that the map is also lost with the luggage, and it is impossible to tell where this is, he has lost his way, but it can be guessed that this place should not be too far from the highway. Luo Yuan forgot to glance at the north side, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything.

Huang Jiahui trampled a small insect that tried to crawl to her instep, and actually made a cracking sound, as if a small firecracker exploded, she retracted her foot and frowned: "Are we going to live here tonight?" ”

Spending the night in the jungle is a big problem, there are no tents, no abandoned buildings, not even a little basic protection, and if you sleep here in the open air, you will probably die before dawn. Although it is very calm here, it does not mean that there is no danger, many mutant insects and some mutant beasts that have not left are still left in this jungle and have not left. Even an inconspicuous bug could kill them.

Luo Yuan shook his head: "We'd better find the cave of mutated creatures and stay there for one night." If you can't find it, you can only dig a pit yourself, or simply sleep in a tree hole! ”

The hearts of the people were heavy, and there was a hint of uneasiness on their tired faces.

Even before the end of the world, it was an extremely dangerous thing to live in a forest where people were extremely rare, let alone now, even Huang Jiahui began to regret a little that he would persuade Luo Yuan to move west, but now, in addition to walking down, there is no turning back, the volcano behind him is still erupting, turning back is death, and there will be a glimmer of hope if he continues to walk.

Luo Yuan pulled out his horse chopping knife and walked into the dense jungle with a cautious face, and the branches and thorns on the road were easily cut by him under the sharp blade. Ten minutes later, when passing through a slope, he suddenly stopped, this is a camouflaged hole, it is covered with thick vines full of spikes, the large leaves of the vines completely cover the hole, it is easy to ignore, not even a footprint near the entrance of the cave, Luo Yuan took a closer look, and found that the soil on it still has traces of passing, it is difficult to detect, if it is not for Luo Yuan's perception that there is indeed a cave here, I am afraid it will not be found at all.

The intelligence of animals is sometimes difficult to describe, and their instincts tend to do amazing things under the harsh laws of nature. Failing to do so would make them obsolete, and such caves are more secluded and safer than man-made caves.

He gently pushed away the vines, the entrance of the cave is not very big, only one meter four or five high, only seventy centimeters wide, and he can't even straighten his waist when he walks in, but now this situation is nothing to ask for, the sky is getting darker and darker, if he can't find a suitable cave, he can only choose to sleep in the tree hole, at that time I'm afraid I don't want to sleep all night.

"Wait here for now, I'll go in and have a look." Luo Yuandao.

After that, Luo Yuan didn't wait for everyone to speak, so he lowered his body and walked into the cave, which was pitch black, exuding an indescribable smell, like some fishy smell, and like the rancid smell of corpses, which made people faintly disgusting, the surface of the cave was very smooth, the inside was crooked, extending to the ground, Luo Yuan walked almost a few hundred meters, until his patience was about to run out, but his eyes suddenly opened up.

This is a space of tens of square meters.

The middle is full of large and small white bones, and there is a place in front of the white bones that is very clean, neatly covered with fluffy and soft hay, and there is an obvious depression in the middle, which is obviously the place where the cave owner lives.

After Luo Yuan announced that he was safe, everyone walked into the cave one after another in the dark, and after Huo Dong lit the lighter, he looked at the spacious space with the faint light of the fire, and finally showed a relaxed smile on his tired face.

"Great, I didn't expect to find a place like this, I thought I was going to sleep in the tree hole?" Master Wang smiled excitedly, her spirits were lifted, and she was even happier than the first time she moved into the villa, as for the stench of the cave and the pile of white bones next to it, in front of a safe place to stay overnight, it was not worth mentioning at all.

"The tree hole is too dangerous, don't you see how many insects there are along the way, those colorful insects I saw as soon as I saw them, my hair stood upside down, if it wasn't for Boss Luo to knock down the insects one by one, it would be terrible to be bitten." Huo Dong also smiled.

"But it's too dark here, Huo Dong, you and Lin Xiaoji, go outside to find some hay, dead branches, and light a fire when the time comes!" Luo Yuan was not very cold by Huo Dong's patting the horse, and interrupted.

Huo Dong and Lin Xiaoji did not refute, and walked out of the hall with knives without hesitation.

"If you light a fire, will it be too smoky?" Huang Jiahui waited for the two to leave before asking.

"No, there's no wind here, as long as it's lit close to the outside of the hall, the smoke won't be too big, and the smoke from the fire will prevent the worms from crawling through the hole outside." Luo Yuandao.

Luo Yuan sat down after speaking, his breath had just relaxed, and the cold sweat on his face was painful, and he really couldn't support it.

"Brother Luo, what's wrong with you?" Cao Lin had been paying attention to Luo Yuan, and seeing that he was not in the right state, he hurriedly asked.

Luo Yuan closed his eyes and shook his head: "It's okay, let me rest for a while!" ”

Everyone looked at Luo Yuan's pale and weak face, obviously he was seriously injured, thinking that when he was on the road before, he even let Luo Yuan open the way to eliminate more dangers, and they couldn't help but feel a little guilty in their hearts.

"Let's be quiet and let Luo Yuan sleep for a while." Huang Jiahui's eyes were a little moist, and she said softly.

"I'm going out and getting some food!" Seeing that he was the only man standing around, Chen Xianfeng said a little uncomfortably.

Huang Jiahui was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Chen Xianfeng to be so bold, but considering that one person is very dangerous, she said: "Wait first, when Huo Dong and the others come back, we will go together." ”

Chen Xianfeng was obviously not used to talking to beautiful women, his face was flushed, and he was speechless.

Ten minutes later, Huo Dong and Lin Xiaoji finally returned, each holding a bundle of dead branches and placing them at the door of the hall, Lin Xiaoji was still dragging a frog with a head cut off in his right hand.

"We were lucky enough to see a frog in the grass, but luckily I had a quick eye and I cut off my head, otherwise it would have run away." There was a faint show off in Lin Xiaoji's tone, and he said with a smile.

"You keep your voice soft, don't affect Brother Luo's rest." Master Wang said dissatisfiedly: "And this frog is too small, and we can't share much at all." ”

Lin Xiaoji's face stiffened, but Master Wang, who spoke, he didn't care about her, he noticed Luo Yuan leaning against the wall, and asked, "Is Brother Luo asleep, I'll go outside to look for it, I can't let everyone starve!" ”

"It's too dangerous outside, except for Master Wang and Cao Lin, everyone else should go together, and everyone can take care of each other!" Huang Jiahui pulled out her pistol and said.

"Sister Huang, I'll go too, I feel a lot better." Master Wang stood up weakly.

Huang Jiahui knew that Master Wang of the Dao Dao had a strong mind, and they would definitely be much safer if they followed, but considering Luo Yuan's safety, he still refused: "You can't go, you still have to take care of your big brother Luo, in case of danger, you can deal with it with you." ”

Master Wang reacted, and was afraid for a while, in her heart, Luo Yuan was the most important, and she said without hesitation: "Then I'll stay!" ”

Cao Lin wanted to speak and stopped, but she was still silent after the end. Among these people, she is the weakest, what else can she do except stay?

Not long after the people left, Wang Xiaguang woke up, she coughed a few times, and wanted to sit up.

Cao Lin hurriedly went over to help her: "Are you awake?" ”

"Where is Luo Yuan, where is Luo Yuan?" Wang Xiaguang asked anxiously, her voice a little hoarse: "And where is this, why is it so dark?" ”

"Brother Luo is too tired and asleep, let's keep our voices soft and don't wake her up. This is the cave, and everyone else went looking for food and came back very quickly. Cao Lin sighed and said.

"Sister Wang, what is your relationship with Brother Luo?" At this time, Wang Shishi suddenly asked.

Wang Xiaguang heard that it was Master Wang's voice, but he didn't expect Master Wang to be there, and he felt a little uncomfortable, but he still tried his best to say in a calm tone: "We used to be colleagues, but we have a good relationship. You look so young, you shouldn't be too old, right? ”

"I'm the youngest here, I'm only fourteen!" Master Wang said proudly.

Cao Lin looked incredulous.

Wang Xiaguang was also a little dumbfounded, she really couldn't see that Master Wang was still so young, in her imagination, she should be sixteen or seventeen years old, or even seventeen or eighteen years old, some people believed it, she hurriedly asked: "You are so young, does Luo Yuan know Lu Dao?" ”

Master Wang was not a fool, so he naturally heard what she meant, and said with a disdainful face: "Brother Luo has long known the Tao, so what?" I just like Brother Luo! ”

"How could he do that?" Wang Xiaguang muttered to herself, looking incredulous, at this moment, Luo Yuan's glorious description in her heart collapsed.

Luo Yuan has been closing his eyes and recuperating, at this time he finally couldn't listen to it anymore, he coughed a few times, his old face was a little red, fortunately everyone couldn't see it in the dark, otherwise I was afraid that it would greatly damage the image in everyone's minds, he hurriedly diverted the topic and asked Wang Xiaguang: "Are you awake, are you feeling better?" ”

Wang Xiaguang turned his face and didn't want to pay attention to him, and then felt that this was inappropriate, and said in a muffled voice: "Don't worry about it, I'm much better!" ”

"Your physique is too weak, will you drink some more blood from high-level mutant creatures later? In a few days, there should be no trouble. Luo Yuan said with concern.

"Brother Luo, you're not sleeping, are we waking you up?" When Master Wang saw that Luo Yuan was talking to Wang Xiaguang as soon as he woke up, his heart was sour, and he hurriedly pulled over the topic.

Luo Yuan thought to himself, he knew that he was talking a lot, it was not good to talk about something, I had to talk about this, otherwise how could I wake up, he glared at her, but unfortunately Master Wang didn't see it at all, he thought so, and said on his lips: "I didn't fall asleep in the first place, how are you now, does your head still hurt?" ”

"It's much better, but my head has been a little swollen, like it's going to explode, or you can rub it for me!" Master Wang said coquettishly, as if he intended to show off to someone.

Luo Yuan noticed that Wang Xiaguang's face was ugly, and he was about to get angry, but he suddenly remembered the scene when Master Wang was desperate to save himself, and his heart softened: "Do you want me to rub a seriously injured person for you?" Cao Lin, please help her rub it! ”

Cao Lin lowered her eyebrows and stood up obediently.

Only then did Master Wang remember that Luo Yuan was seriously injured, and hurriedly said, "Sister Cao, no need, no need, I'm already fine." ”

When Wang Xiaguang heard that Luo Yuan was seriously injured, he felt a pang in his heart, both distressed and worried, but he bit his lip and kept silent.

After a while, everyone came back, except for Chen Xianxian, who wrapped a bunch of things with leaves, and the other people's hands were empty except for bundles of firewood.

Huo Dong lit the hay and added a few sticks of firewood, and the hall suddenly lit up.

"Didn't find anything to eat?" Luo Yuan asked out loud.

"You're awake!" Huang Jiahui asked with concern, and then sighed: "There are not many animals outside now, except for insects, there is no food at all, and I only found a bunch of cocoons on the tree at the end, and I don't know if I can eat it." ”

"You bring me the cocoon?" Luo Yuan said.

Chen Xianfeng hurriedly handed over the things in his hand, these cocoons are very large, each one is the size of a palm, there are a total of nine cocoons, all of them are cocoons of the same insect, with complex lines on the surface, Luo Yuan picked up one, took out the horse chopping knife beside him, and cut the cocoon shell, revealing the chrysalis that looked a little hideous inside.

He secretly used an identification technique, and said, "It's completely okay to eat, it's okay." ”

"Bring the frogs too." For what to eat, no matter how cautious it is, it is necessary, Luo Yuan said again.

Luo Yuan identified it again, shook his head under the eyes of everyone, and said: "This can't be eaten, eating it will paralyze the body, throw it away!" ”

Everyone was shocked, fortunately they hadn't eaten yet, otherwise they didn't know what would have gone wrong with the road. They knew that Luo Yuan had the ability to distinguish food toxins, and they didn't doubt it, but Lin Xiaoji's face was a little unpleasant, and they didn't expect that the food they had worked so hard to get was poisonous.
