Chapter 378: Swamp Forest
The two cold faces and the bright moonlight circulated on the white faces, like a pair of jade people coming out of the picture scroll.
Feeling that his physical condition was much better, and the wound on his leg was also wrapped in a wrapping cloth, the leader immediately understood what the two had done, "Thank you." ”
July smiled, "You're welcome." ”
Ning Yun: "If you don't chase them, they will go away." This group is well-trained, and they move so fast on their feet. ”
Under the rapid march, it is not an interesting story that the special forces have traveled hundreds of miles day and night.
July looked at the crowd walking away, the eagerness on his face in his heart, and turned his head to look at the leader's injuries. At present, his leg injury has not healed, and he can't withstand the long run, and they can't help him all the way. Now, July is in trouble.
"I'll chase them, and I'll follow them, and you'll follow the mark I left behind." Ning Yun suggested that it would be impossible for July to leave the seriously injured leader behind. However, the clue to Zhu Beichen's whereabouts is among that group of people.
That's it, July nodded. Ning Yun quietly retreated into the twilight, keeping up with the soldiers marching through the night.
July turned to take care of the chief, "Your leg is okay, I want to rest for a few more days, and you can fully recover." ”
The leader looked grateful, and he couldn't imagine that the person he had captured would save him regardless of his previous suspicions. Before he fell into a coma, the most memorable thing was the set of "Suyou Gu Weapon" that hid the secrets of the Wu Clan. It's too complete, a whole hundred and eight pieces, not bad.
What made him feel most incomprehensible was that this girl in a strange costume could perfectly manipulate the "Suyou Gu Device", and in his vague memory, he could even remember the feeling of July holding a blood clotting needle through his heart.
Oh no, weren't they left to be guarded by themselves? How did you come here, "You, you! "After all, the people had just saved themselves, and the leader was too embarrassed to ask July.
"How did we end up here, right?" Looking at the way he wanted to speak and stopped, July understood his embarrassment, but how to explain it, there were three dead people in the cave, although their deaths had nothing to do with him.
The leader was buried on his back in the grass, and his tough guy-like silhouette showed a difficult look, and he sighed in his heart, not knowing how to deal with this complicated emotion, so he had to nod.
July explained to the leader in detail what had happened, including the reason for coming here, and whether the man in front of him believed it or not, he talked for a long time until the sky turned slightly pale. The leader listened carefully word by word, as if listening to the July narrative was an extremely wonderful thing, and his expression showed appreciation from time to time. July was interrupted by this kind of hot eyes several times, coughing twice in embarrassment, and the atmosphere was a little weird.
In the end, the leader should have chosen to trust all of them, and since he had the opportunity to let himself fend for himself, July chose to spend his energy to save himself. How bad can such a woman's heart and eyes be?
The leader of "Yangxi" carried Qiyue on his back, looking at the chiseled corpse with a thoughtful appearance.
"What?" July didn't react all of a sudden, and he didn't hear what the leader said.
"Yangxi, my name. A small leader here, but unfortunately, all the soldiers I led with me died. The semicircular weapon stabbed into the headless corpse of the chiseled tooth to express the resentment in Yang Xi's heart.
Yang Xi, breaking down the characters, seems to follow some kind of cultural deduction, and I can't figure it out at the first time of July. Listening to Yang Xi talk about his companions, he realized that he had taken a few people out to deal with this chisel tooth.
Yang Xi said, "You mean that a large number of unknown people have entered here?" "His mission is to protect, protect the land left by his ancestors, and not allow any outsiders to step into it without permission, and now when he hears that so many unknown people have broken in, he can't help frowning.
July explained that Ning Yun had already tracked it first, and he believed that he would soon be able to understand the true intentions of this group. July tacitly did not mention the burial of the ancient city, this mysterious ancient city is likely to be a taboo for Yangxi.
The sky was bright, and July supported Yang Xi, following the trails left by Ning Yun along the way, steadily advancing on the grass, looking for the soldiers who had gone far away at night.
Yang Xi was born and raised here, and has an incomparable understanding of the topography here, so he walked down this road into the hinterland of a group of mountains, and when he walked into the hinterland, he would first pass a waterfall, and then a large swamp, which was full of mystery and danger.
And, where is the place after the swamp, Yang Xi is silent. Faintly let the sensitive July sense the information that Yang Xi was unwilling to reveal in his words.
July only said: "Are there any dangerous creatures in the swamp?" ”
"Anything can happen. It's dangerous, and our people don't go there on a normal day. Since the group of soldiers was heading in the swamp and facing a huge threat of death, Yang Xi still chose to follow July to see what the group wanted to do.
At noon, the following July and Yang Xi gradually approached the inner side of the mountains according to the signs left behind, and the sun was particularly hot at this time. Yang Xi, who lives in this land, is also a little unbearable, perhaps because of the initial recovery after the injury, and the big coarse sweat keeps rolling down.
Along the way, the surrounding environment seemed to be muted, and not the slightest sound was made. Scattered mist is volatilizing from the mountain stream with the vicious sunlight, the speed of the fog is extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, the range of more than ten meters in front is already hazy, and the scene is not clear.
Yang Xi's face became more and more ugly, and his forehead frowned, "In our place, every time there is fog, something bad will happen, and we can't keep up with it, we can't follow it anymore." ”
The sudden fog completely interfered with the vision, and the current location could not be confirmed, and the marks left by Ning Yun along the road were lost in the fog.
The germination of Yang Xi's retreat made July feel very embarrassed, "Do you think you can quit again?" You can still tell if you're in the right direction, and where the swamp you're talking about. "The more I felt that the soldiers were aiming for the swamp, and I always felt that they had a detailed topographical map in their hands.
Yang Xi slowly raised his right hand, and his muscular arm pointed straight to the depths of the fog, "Forget it, I'll go with you." ”
July nodded excitedly with wide eyes and thanked repeatedly.
The wind blew the ground, and before I knew it, the grass ground had changed shape, and under my feet was dry and water-deficient gravel, which was somewhat similar to Lop Nur.
Occasionally, I saw a few large blood-red earthworm-like creatures squeezing through the sand and crawling out of the ground, squirming their dry bodies and turning over and burrowing another piece of sand into the bottom of the formation.
Yang Xi became more and more uneasy, crouched down, and pressed her ears to the ground. This method is ancient, but it is also most effective in the wilderness.
There was a sound in the ground in his ears, similar to the sound of a strong wind roaring underground, Yang Xi's face became extremely strange, and his ears unconsciously chilled.
July said, "Well, hear nothing yet." She wasn't good at getting information in this way, and she was curious about Yang Xi's weird expression.
Normally, this is how he would only judge if there were large creatures in the vicinity, and the first time he heard such a sound, according to an older clansman, there were often unexplained natural phenomena in the vicinity of the swamp.
In the minds of the aborigines, the swamp is equivalent to the modern human reverence for the Bermuda Triangle, full of mystery and unknown, full of mystery and danger. If July hadn't saved his life, he would never have made it to the swamp.
The initial fog filled quickly, covering a large area in a short time, and nothing could be seen in the ghostly fog. They became blind people with their eyes open, Yang Xi's heart was solemn, and the retreat was even stronger.
"Roar!"
"Shhh
Like a cloudy wind sweeping the ground, blowing on the back, the chill suddenly arises, and the sound is like the roar of an animal. July straightened his ears, and as he listened, his rich experience denied the idea that the call was made by animals.
Yang Xi's legs trembled, and her voice trembled, "The swamp forest is a forbidden area for our people, and the rules that have been passed down over the years, I don't know what's inside. ”
"But if you want to go in, I'll accompany you."
I don't know where the courage was born, Yang Xi's last sentence revealed a strange firmness, it seemed that the beautiful woman in front of him gave him infinite courage and confidence, and his eyes were full of perseverance.
The swamp forest is a woodland that grows in a swamp, covering a vast area, and with the heavy fog that perennially perennially fills from time to time, it is not known how much coverage there is. It is said that anyone who enters the swamp forest is trapped in a labyrinthic disorder, and sometimes even the animals that live in it are lost. As a result, strange noises are made from time to time in the swamp forest, and the mud pool is covered with the remains of creatures of the past. Some of the creatures that died in it had not decayed for years due to the protection of the swamp, and remained in their pre-death state. It is also rumored that the earliest ancestors of the land lived in the swamp forest, who were mysterious, powerful, and afraid of visitors from outside the swamp forest.
With the passage of years, the legend of the swamp forest has become more and more mysterious, and some people even say that during the period, there are often mountain and forest spirits haunting, devouring people's souls and flesh.
Smell the swamp forest and change color!
Thank you! Qiyue Min felt that something was wrong with Yang Xi's expression, his face turned crimson and embarrassed, and he thanked him and said no more.
"Now that you've decided, you'll have to listen to my arrangements when you enter the swamp forest area."
Immediately, Yang Xi quickly added, "I haven't heard that anyone who has entered the swamp forest will come back alive." In the words, there was a faint sadness, as if he had already decided on life and death, but he did not regret it.
After clarifying a direction, the two of them moved forward slowly, due to Yang Xi's injury, the speed of dragging Qiyue would not be too fast. And due to the influence of the fog, there is no trace of the marks left by the clouds. The fog was the same for everyone who entered the area, and the soldiers would not be able to grope their way through the fog very quickly, but it was not known if they were equipped with machines to find their way through the fog.
With complex thoughts, July helped Yang Xi to explore and move forward in the fog.
