Chapter 290: Into the Jungle

Sunset dusk, sunset shone. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The water of the Chishui River is as rough as ever, and it is flowing endlessly.

Nie Zheng estimated that there was still more than an hour before it got dark, so he ordered the team to camp here and rest, and wait until dawn the next day before crossing the river.

All of a sudden, on the long riverbank, 8,000 Black Eagle soldiers set up tents and set up tents to cook rice, and everyone was busy with their duties.

Nie Zheng, escorted by several dragon blood masters, came to the river, looked at the boundless dense jungle on the opposite bank, and couldn't help frowning.

If you want to lead 8,000 Black Eagle soldiers through this jungle and fight all the way into the hinterland of the Yue Kingdom, I am afraid that it is not a simple matter.

In the tropical jungle, it is dark and damp, and there are countless poisonous insects and ants, and if you don't take precautions in advance, it is easy to be attacked by those cunning and sinister Dayue people.

In addition, in the jungle, at night, it is dark everywhere, and you can't see your five fingers, let alone fighting at that time, you may get lost even if you go out to pee.

That's why Nie Zheng bought so many thermal imaging displays and military night vision goggles.

"Rustling ......"

A rush of footsteps, from far to near, quickly came behind Nie Zheng.

"Subordinate detective...... Yang Feihu, the commander of the reconnaissance company, has seen the big handsome! Yang Feihu bowed, but secretly felt a little awkward about the new official positions that Nie Zheng had arranged for these leaders.

Especially the strange names of platoon commander, battalion commander, regiment commander, etc., sound very awkward. However, Nie Zheng strictly ordered everyone to comply, so the following generals and leaders had no choice but to follow the new army name in a proper manner.

Nie Zheng turned his head and glanced at Yang Feihu, and found that this guy was a lot fatter than when he was in Heifeng Village before, especially that face, which was obviously a little rounded, it seemed that his food was good during this time.

Since the last military reorganization, Nie Zheng deliberately transferred Yang Feihu from Chishui City to the Black Eagle Legion, and appointed him as the company commander of the reconnaissance company, commanding the eighty reconnaissance soldiers under him.

Nie Zheng looked at him and said lightly, "Are you ready?" ”

Yang Feihu nodded and said: "The eighty scouts have already been equipped with night vision goggles and other night combat weapons given by the marshal, and now they are all ready to go, just waiting for the marshal's order." ”

Nie Zheng's eyes flashed, and he ordered on the spot: "You will lead all the scouts to the opposite bank now, and be responsible for exploring the road and opening the way, if you find the secret agents planted in the jungle by the Da Yue people, kill them all!" ”

Yang Feihu's heart sank, and he arched his hand and said: "Subordinates obey orders!" ”

Soon, Yang Feihu led eighty scouts, quietly dispersed along the river, and took advantage of the approaching night to sneak into the jungle on the opposite bank.

After a short time, the dinner of the gang leader had been prepared, and Nie Zheng returned to the camp when he saw this.

That night, the camp was uneventful.

………………

Early the next morning, the 8,000 Black Hawk soldiers were divided into two groups, one group was responsible for packing up the camp tent and setting off. The other group was responsible for cutting down trees and making rafts to cross the river.

Originally, Nie Zheng wanted to lead the army directly by boat, go down the Chishui River, and go straight to the Mei River to kill, but thinking of the water monkeys domesticated by the Dayue people, Nie Zheng finally gave up his plan to take the waterway.

After weighing it again, he still felt that it was more reliable to go directly through the jungle and kill it.

In a short time, hundreds of simple rafts appeared on the shore, and at this time, all the soldiers, under the command of their respective commanders, crossed to the opposite shore on rafts.

When all the horses were fed and all of them successfully crossed to the other side, at this time, Nie Zheng led the team and poured into the dense jungle.

Since the country is located in the southernmost part of the country, the climate in this area is very hot.

After entering the jungle, the harsh environment inside made Nie Zheng frown.

In the jungle, it was dark and damp, and overhead were full of towering trees that were more than ten feet high, with dense and numerous branches and leaves, blocking most of the light.

On the damp and soft ground, a thick layer of dead branches and rotten leaves piled up, and the entire jungle filled the air with a foul smell of decay.

In a hot season like now, entering the jungle is deadly, and piles of mosquitoes are flying all over the sky as if they have exploded their nests, and they are biting around everyone.

Even more troubling are not only mosquitoes, but also poisonous animals such as poisonous snakes, poisonous ants, scorpions, centipedes and poisonous spiders that hide in the jungle.

These snakes, insects, scorpions, and ants like to live in this humid and hot jungle the most, and they pose a great threat to everyone.

Anyway, after entering the jungle, Nie Zheng saw the most mosquitoes and drought locusts, and the most troublesome things were these two things.

Drought grasshoppers are more aggressive than water grasshoppers, and if they are not careful, they may be attached to people's bodies, and in the process of their bites, people do not feel pain at all, and it is difficult to detect them.

However, after being bitten, the wound will often bleed non-stop, and after a while, the wound will be slightly red, swollen and itchy.

These hateful drought locusts are very troublesome for Nie Zheng's team, every time someone is absorbed by them, Nie Zheng told them that they must not be pulled hard by hand, and must be driven away with the spirits they carry with them, otherwise, if they are pulled hard by hand, the suckers of the locusts are very likely to remain in the human body, which contains a large number of bacteria, which can easily cause wound infection.

Fortunately, Nie Zheng conveyed some precautions in the jungle before entering the jungle, so the soldiers also knew how to deal with these poisons in the jungle.

Wu Xuanyin came with him this time, and he brought some secret insect repellent cream from Xuanmen, as long as he applied insect repellent cream on his body, he would not be disturbed by snakes, insects, rats and ants. But his insect repellent cream is only enough for a few hundred people at most, and the Black Eagle Legion has 8,000 people, and the insect repellent cream is not enough at all.

In the end, everyone followed the method taught by Nie Dashuai, grabbed some mud from the ground and smeared it on the exposed skin, and when the mud was dry, it could effectively defend against mosquito bites. You must know that after being bitten by mosquitoes in these tropical jungles, it is very easy to be infected with viruses, such as dengue fever and malaria, which were common on the earth in the previous life, most of which were caused by mosquitoes.

After Nie Zheng entered the jungle, he discovered a strange phenomenon.

When everyone was harassed by snakes, insects, rats and ants, he didn't do anything.

Not to mention poisonous snakes, not even a single mosquito has ever appeared in front of him, basically, every time Nie Zheng goes, within a radius of a few zhang, all the snakes, insects, rats and ants retreat.

Seeing this scene, Nie Zheng felt very strange in his heart, and said secretly: "I didn't apply Wu Xuanyin's insect repellent cream, why are these snakes, insects, rats and ants so afraid of me?" Could it be that I swallowed the Dragon Python Neidan? ”

Wu Xuanyin once spoke, the dragon python is an ancient fierce beast, it is the nemesis of ten thousand poisons, no matter what poison, as long as it senses the breath of the dragon python, it will stay away and escape.

Although Nie Zheng is not a dragon python, the dragon python inner pill in his body itself contains the essence of the dragon python for tens of thousands of years, so it is not surprising that he exudes the breath of a dragon python.

But in the team, there are many soldiers who have taken dragon python blood, but they do not have this kind of treatment themselves.

It can be seen that although dragon blood can improve strength, heal and detoxify, it cannot have the effect of driving away poisons like itself.
