Chapter 3: Trickery and Trickery

The cave is located on the slope of a hill and is hidden among lush vegetation.

As soon as you exit the hole, you will see a dense thick green color. Trees tens of meters high shade the sky, and cobwebs are pulled in the air like vines. The ground is occupied by low, large-leaved plants and shrubs, and the entire space is filled with a variety of plants.

The two of them stood on the lowest floor, the light was dim, wet and hot, and the air circulation was not smooth, which made people feel very depressed.

"The earth of this era, with its high temperature, humidity and oxygen content, is very suitable for the growth of plants and animals, so that the jungles in central China are even more lush than the Amazon rainforest in later generations."

"Whew." The dragon spirit took a hard breath, rubbed his chest and said, "The air pressure seems to be higher. ”

As soon as I took a few steps, I felt a slight coolness on my body, and when I looked up, I saw countless crystal droplets of water leaking from between the leaves.

"Alas, it's raining again, it's raining every day, it's annoying!" He reached out to catch the rain and cursed.

In this era, the rain was amazing, the rain was a frequent visitor, the sun was rare, the ground was full of stagnant water, and there was no dry ground to be found. Living in the heat and humidity all day, and not seeing the light of day, the dragon spirit felt that his body was moldy.

"Haha, it's a good time to travel on a rainy day, it's cool." Cang Jizi was in a happy mood, opened his mouth wide and his tongue stretched out and retracted to catch the raindrops, like a dog drinking water.

"Let's go." The dragon spirit was speechless at the prophet's stupidity, and dragged him up a large banyan tree.

Impassable and dangerous on the ground, far less convenient than moving around in the trees, where the interconnected trunks and intertwined vines are the path of the indigenous people.

The two of them quickly climbed to a high place, Cang Jizi put the short spear on his back, grabbed the vine and swung it vigorously, and then moved to a tree more than ten meters away.

The dragon spirit also grabbed a vine and swung it over skillfully. He is a master of survival in the wild, agile, and has also practiced the skills of moving in the trees for more than half a year.

"Tarzan of the Apes is nothing more than that." The dragon spirit let go of the vines, did a front somersault, and landed steadily beside Cang Jizi, feeling very proud in his heart.

The jungle was covered with rain and fog, and it was hazy. The two half-naked men were not afraid of getting wet at all, and they were as dexterous as monkeys, breaking through the rain curtain, running fast on the branches of the trees, flying through the forest, moving several times faster than on the ground.

Along the way, there are strange plants everywhere, strange shapes, colorful, and countless animals have been alarmed everywhere they pass, birds and beasts are walking, fish and insects are singing, and some fierce beasts are hiding in the dark and watching.

The dragon spirit felt the vigorous vitality of the natural world, as if the soul had been sublimated, and the mood was extremely happy.

In a short time, he drove out more than ten miles and entered an empty forest, where a nearly 100-meter-high sky-looking tree grew. The two of them were fifty or sixty meters in the air, standing on a thick tree trunk, as small as squirrels.

At this time, the rain stopped intermittently, and the sight was much clearer, and the two of them searched around for a long time, and finally found a group of small monkeys with brown and red hair.

"Don't alarm them."

Cang Jizi looked at the group of monkeys above his head and said softly: "Musk monkeys are very clever, if they are discovered, they will escape in the blink of an eye. ”

The dragon spirit thought for a moment and said, "I'll sneak in front and hide, and then you chase them to me, and I'll catch one while I have the opportunity." ”

"Huh." Cang Jizi sneered: "Don't dream, they are going to die, you can't catch them." ”

"I can only shoot." As he spoke, he took the bamboo bow from his body, took out the string and tied it up.

The dragon spirit hurriedly stopped him and said, "No, the great wizard said that if you want to live, you can't shoot with arrows." ”

"Don't be stupid, the great wizard wants something in the navel of the musk monkey, what does it matter if you live or die?"

"He made it clear that he wanted me to catch a live, unharmed musk monkey, and I heard it right."

"What then?" Cang Jizi collected his bow and shouted in frustration.

The dragon spirit was also very embarrassed, and suddenly remembered a story he had heard, so he smiled and said, "I have my own way to deal with them." ”

He looked left and right, picked a few large durians and papayas, first dug a small hole in the durian with a stone knife, hollowed out the inside, and then cut the papaya into small pieces and stuffed it in. Then the durians are tied with hemp rope and placed in a row on the trunk of the tree.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Cang Jizi asked puzzled.

"We'll see." After the dragon spirit finished this, he chopped up the remaining papaya and scattered it around, and then hid it with Cangjizi.

After a while, I saw that the musk monkeys were sniffing and sniffing, and then swarming towards a few durians, first eating the scattered papaya pieces, and then thinking of a way around a few durians.

They usually can't deal with the whole durian, but soon they find a hole in the durian, and the clever guy reaches in and digs it out, and the other monkeys follow suit and put their hands inside.

The dragon spirit saw that several durians had monkeys stretched out their hands, and immediately rushed over with a shout. The monkeys were frightened and ran away as fast as they could, but a few monkeys couldn't get out of the durian and were chained to the spot and couldn't escape.

"Hahaha." The dragon spirit rushed to the front and couldn't help laughing when he saw that he had caught four musk monkeys.

Cang Jizi watched the monkey struggle desperately, but couldn't pull it out, and wondered: "Their hands can reach in, but why can't they pull it out?" Do you practice witchcraft? ”

"It's that they're too greedy." The dragon spirit grabs a monkey and smashes the durian open.

When Cang Jizi saw it, it turned out that the monkey was holding a quick papaya tightly in his hand and didn't let go, so he couldn't take it out, and suddenly realized, and exclaimed: "How can you come up with such an ingenious method?" ”

The dragon spirit said proudly: "I am a person given by the dragon. ”

Cang Jizi was very unconvinced: "Although I am not as smart as you, I am also of noble blood, no worse than your dragon son." ”

The two grabbed a few monkeys and looked at them, picked a male monkey with musk glands, and released the others.

The musk monkey was very small, only more than thirty centimeters long, and Cang Jizi put it in a burlap bag and tied it around his waist.

On the way back, the dragon spirit suddenly noticed that there were many traces of fire on a tree, and the surrounding grass and trees were also scorched, so he stopped to check.

"Someone set a fire here." Cang Jizi said.

The dragon spirit looked over and saw that there were many and scattered fire points, not quite like the ignition method of humans.

Lighting a fire with flint in a humid rainforest is not an easy task, and humans will find a shelter from the rain to light a bonfire instead of setting fires everywhere. Here it was as if someone was using a high-temperature flame to burn around, and the torch had no such effect, only the flame spray guns of later generations could do it.

"It's weird."

The dragon spirit touched the Jiao Zhi, turned back suspiciously, and saw Cang Jizi not far away, his body hidden in the leaves, only showing a face, staring at him intently.

"Let's go." He greeted him, but saw that Cang Jizi was silent, still looking at him expressionlessly.

"What the hell?" Seeing that his face was different, the dragon spirit felt bad, so he got closer to take a closer look, and was so shocked that he almost fell off the tree.

It turns out that it wasn't Cangjizi's face!

I saw that the human face was like a swollen drowned ghost. His complexion was pale, his skin was swollen, his cheeks were bulging with two large bags, his nose was submerged with flesh, and his eyes were sunken in a pile of flesh.

The most terrifying thing is that his mouth is also swollen, like holding two pieces of blood-stained ham sausages, round and red, and disgusting to look at.

"Hmm!" The dragon spirit saw that his scalp was numb, and a cold sweat immediately came out: "This, what is this?" ”

"Where's that bastard Cangjizi?" Sweat was dripping from his forehead, but he didn't dare to move, just rolled his eyes and looked around.

The surroundings were very quiet, and there was no sign of human activity, and Long Yi's head shook violently: "Could it be that something happened to Cang Jizi?" ”

Seeing the slight twitching of the muscles on the human face, he knew that this thing was alive, and Rao was a well-informed explorer, and he had never heard of such a terrifying thing.

As soon as he took a few steps back, he saw the drowning ghost's sausage mouth slowly open.

"Hey, what do you want to do? Don't! He knew it was going to be bad, and immediately scrambled backwards.

"Goo--wow!" The drowning ghost let out a terrible cry, sharp and piercing, like a howling ghost baby.

"Ahh The dragon essence hair exploded, the nerves were instantly broken, and he subconsciously kicked over.

I only heard a 'bang', and his swollen head was kicked off by him and fell straight under the tree!
