The professor nodded, but he pointed to the blank space outside the temple gate on the third painting, "I found two strange places when I was drawing this picture, but I didn't draw them because I couldn't figure it out for a while." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"What do you mean?" Anne asked him

"First of all, the temple carved in the relief did not have Shinto, and there was no Shinto fenced by Naga and Asura statues, but instead it became a river that stretched straight out after the merger of the two moats. Secondly, there are many pictographs carved on the back of the upper part of the temple that I couldn't understand for a while. ”

……

Stern watched the two scholars discussing academic matters, and felt that he couldn't interject, so he wanted to go back to the tent and sleep first, so he told Anne to tell him when the discussion was over, and he would get up for the vigil.

Although he didn't feel any danger now, in this kind of primeval forest, he must be extremely vigilant, and he knew this even more after experiencing the battlefield, so he lay down with the aftermath of the curse......

In a green jungle with no end in sight, Stern cautiously paced forward, holding the M16 to clear the way, and then took out the knife to cut down the obstacle in front of him, a wide palm tree. Noticing that his teammate Sid was also moving forward with a gun in front of him, he quickened his pace to take a round with him. But at this moment, he noticed that there was a buried body under the right foot that Sid was lifting—a pile of grass that did not blend in with its surroundings!

- Stand still! That's a mine! Damn it! Sid!

- Watch your right foot! Retreat! Quickly find cover....

However, the people in front of him didn't seem to hear his order and continued to step on the haystack

Bang –

Suddenly, the mine detonated, muddy water splashed, mixed with human flesh and skin splashed in front of Stern, and he could smell the heavy smell of blood when he closed his eyes and leaned against a tree. While he kept cursing the damned Viet Cong in his heart, he began to raise his gun and inspect his surroundings to see if there were any enemies in ambush nearby. However, there was silence around him, and just as he was holding up his scope to switch his gaze to the accident location in front of him, a bloody face suddenly appeared in front of him staring at him - Captain, what did you just say?

Yes......

Stern was so frightened that he screamed and fell to the ground, and kept kicking his legs backwards, and his right hand subconsciously wanted to pick up the mountain knife in his hand - but he was caught off guard and touched a severed hand that was still bleeding! He was so frightened that he immediately shook the severed hand away......

The face in front of the most terrifying was still repeating the terrible words in front of him - Captain, what did you just say?

He didn't dare to look ahead, but when he turned his gaze to the left-hand side, he saw the back of a helmeted head! At the same time, the head slowly turned forward, and when it faced him head-on, it scared him even more!

- A thin skull with only dry flesh and skin, two hollow eye sockets staring straight at him, and the bare gums under the eye sockets closing one by one repeating the sentence - Captain, save me......

Stern was so frightened that he forgot to struggle, his mouth was wide open but he couldn't hear what he was shouting, and he felt his heart stop beating.....

However, a large group of skinny monsters suddenly jumped out in front of him, crawling in front of him from all directions at a rapid pace, opening their blood-red mouths and sharp teeth......

Stern snapped his eyes open, panting in his chest, breaking free from the horrific scene. He realized he was having another nightmare, but he opened his eyes to find a blank void. He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, kept waving his hands, rubbing his eyes vigorously, and found that what he saw still hadn't changed.

He couldn't help but wonder - could it be that there was something wrong with his eyes? Or are you still in a nightmare? But after thinking about it, I felt that it was wrong, I shouldn't be in this situation in the nightmare, but should be those lingering ......

His mind raced as he remembered last night's campfire conversation... Go to bed... Wake up to a vigil by Anne - yes! He should be by the fire at the moment! So he immediately groped his hand for the neighborhood—and at last he touched the stand on the fire, and the stand fell to the ground, and he immediately dimly saw a little light under the stand. I can't help but understand what happened - the forest is foggy!

He remembered that it had rained in the early hours of yesterday morning, and then the sun had come out during the day, and that the wind and clouds had been clear since last night, all of which could easily lead to the appearance of a dense fog, which he had encountered in the jungles of Vietnam before. In this case, if you want to travel people, it is most likely to get lost, and he remembers that during that time, they were scouting the secret passage where a group of Viet Cong was transporting supplies, and then they got lost and walked into a high mountain ravine, where it had just rained, and somehow it began to fog, and the fog became thicker and thicker, until it reached the concentration of five fingers that could not be reached. Then one of his teammates somehow fell behind in the thick fog, and when the fog cleared, the whole team went to look for him but couldn't find anyone or the body, and finally found his equipment near a lowland swamp, and the man was gone...... In fact, the best option for this sudden fogging phenomenon is to stay where you are and try not to move around and wait for the fog to dissipate, because this primeval forest is full of potential dangers......

But it suddenly occurred to Stern that this could also be a fog miasma - a mixture of toxic chemicals emitted by ground decay, bacteria, and various plants, which can cause people to hallucinate, mild coma, and even poison to death!

Thinking of this, Stern quickly covered his mouth and nose, and quickly groped with his hand to find his water bottle, poured some out into the towel, and covered his mouth and nose with the towel. Then he rekindled the fire, and went to a nearby camphor tree to pick up a camphor branch and put it in the fire to burn. This is a method he learned from local people, which is said to reduce the concentration of toxic substances in the miasma, which is why he prefers to camp next to camphor trees.

Then he hurried to wake up the other people in the tent, and after making sure they were all right, he also had them cover their mouths and noses with wet towels. This is just a temporary measure, and after a long time, the skin will still be affected, so you can only wait for the fog miasma to dissipate on its own. Luckily, it's early in the morning, and the fog is starting to thin out as the sun rises, and visibility is starting to improve. They also packed up as quickly as they could, and groped along the city wall to the river, where the terrain was more open, the air was more circulated, and the sunlight was shining, which was conducive to the dissipation of the miasma.

As the dense fog gradually dissipated, a primitive primeval rainforest landscape with no end in sight appeared in front of them, dozens of meters high dipterocarp trees occupied the upper position, and down was a lush relay of various rainforest tree species to absorb every inch of light, a large amount of dirty muddy water on the river surface quickly poured downstream outside the city wall, and some dead wood floated on the river surface from time to time. Plantain trees grow along the riverbank, a few slender palm trees are intertwined, even on the edge of the swamp there are trees and vines intertwined on the shore of the water, and the sound of birds chirping can be heard from the depths of the woods, a typical tropical rainforest scene.

"So we went through a lot of trouble to climb over the walls just to investigate this rainforest?"
