Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Strange Old Tree

As he spoke, Jiang Qi took out a large bag from the backpack on his body. This bag looks a little familiar, very similar to the one Tashi and they were holding before, and it looks like there are a lot of goods bulging inside! It is estimated that Jiang Qi has confiscated everything that can be "requisitioned".

However, Lao Gu looked at the bag of lime and looked a little unconfident, he sighed and said, "Daqi, isn't this thing used to deal with leeches?" Can you use it against mosquitoes like this? If the mosquitoes don't eat this set, the lime will run out, and the leeches will come into play...... That's not good. ”

When Lao Gu said this, Jiang Qi was also a little hesitant. Because it's really a problem to deal with mosquitoes with this thing, you can't wipe it on your body, right? In that case, the mosquitoes don't die, they burn first. And the effect of this thing on leeches is still very significant, and it should be reserved for the leeches in the future. Who knows what level of leeches must be in this place!

Lao Gu frowned at this time and turned his head to look at Qin Zhen, and then asked, "Hey, Qin Zhen." What's wrong with you being a spy sent by the Nazis? How did you bring us this skullland? Didn't we say that we should avoid walking as much as possible? ”

Qin Zhen also had a headache and said, "Old Gu, I really let you talk about it." Over the past 70 years, it is estimated that a lot of things have been moved. Where we are now, we are obviously trying to avoid the marking point of the red skull. But I still encountered these things. No way, let's be careful and move forward as fast as possible! ”

Lao Gu didn't say anything more, and volunteered to take the lead, saying that it was because his vigilance was relatively high......

Neither Qin Zhen nor Jiang Qi was willing to hit his poor self-esteem. So it's up to him. If you want to talk about his vigilance, it is estimated that if the Blood Mosquito King does not bite him in the face, he may not be able to detect it. What's more, there are only three of them in total, where are there any pioneers who are not pioneers? Everyone helps each other and looks at the places that each other can't see.

The rainforest is dense, crisscrossed with vegetation and vines, making it difficult to see what is hidden in the shade.

After walking for another hundred or ten meters, an old tree stretched by vines and plants into an extremely inclined way blocked in front of them. The surface of the tree was covered with gray-green moss, and the hanging rattan was like a curtain. Where the branches are lowest, they have to bend down to get through.

The vegetation on both sides is covered layer by layer, and there is no place to put your feet at all. So if you want to move on. You have to get under this old tree.

Let's be honest. The thought of brushing aside the rattan and touching those thousands of years of rotten moss, Qin Zhen and the others really felt a little disgusted. The feeling of being slippery and cold to the touch is uncomfortable to think about.

But there is no other way forward. Qin Zhen pulled Lao Gu back. And he instructed: "This place is not at peace. Especially this strange old tree, there is something wrong with it. You give me an honest reason and follow me. "Finished. Qin Zhen turned around and said to Jiang Qi again: "Daqi, keep an eye on him." ”

Jiang Qi nodded sternly, and his eyes immediately turned into looking at Lao Gu as if he was looking at a felony who had just been caught. This made Lao Gu very uncomfortable, and said unconvinced: "I said Qin Zhen, you are obviously faking public affairs and personal vendettas!" Gu Ye, I'm so brave, you can't use me as a stinky thief to guard against me! ”

Qin Zhen waved his hand impatiently, signaling Gu Jie to stop talking nonsense, and then turned around and walked towards the old tree.

The closer he got to the old tree covered with mossy vegetation, the more Qin Zhen seemed to smell a hint of danger. I don't know if it was because of his intense psychological uneasiness, but he felt a burning sensation in his right arm again. And after such a long time of fusion, it seems that he can feel that kind of power not only in his right arm, but also in his left arm, shoulder, back, etc.! That's Juntian's power......

Qin Zhen clenched his fists, although all his energy and attention were focused on this old tree at this time, he still couldn't help but have a thought in his heart - Cangjie's power is still there, Juntian must still be alive! If Juntian can still live after exhausting his strength, then Yudong will definitely be safe......

Thinking of this, Qin Zhen seemed to feel that everything in front of him was no longer so terrifying. The leadership effect is probably so powerful. As long as you firmly believe that Yudong is still alive, you can find him again, and you can survive all kinds of difficulties. To exaggerate it, from a psychological point of view, this is the same reason as going through a catastrophe and having to meet the chairman victoriously. Although I don't know if they will have 25,000 miles on this journey, the fear and thrill they have experienced far exceed that of the Long March. After all, they go deep into evil places.

Lao Gu in the back saw Qin Zhen's clenched fists, and asked with some curiosity, "Da Zhen, what's wrong with you?" Are you nervous or something? ”

"No, it's me who feels the power of Cangjie." Qin Zhen said lightly.

Lao Gu and Jiang Qi were both shocked, and they felt excited, excited, and a trace of helplessness. The excitement is because Jiuyou said that the foundation of Qin Zhen's strength must be Juntian to live. In this way, since Qin Zhen can still feel it now, Juntian must still be alive.

The excitement is because with the ancient power that can make the "night ghost cry", they naturally have a full confidence! Scrappy!

But...... The main thing has to be said to be the last feeling - helplessness. Because the power of this Cangjie may be able to make the ghosts and gods fearful, so that the demons and evil spirits cannot be troubled. But、But...... After all, it can't play the effect of flower water and wind oil essence! It can't have a mosquito repellent effect!

Therefore, no matter how strong Qin Zhen's current power was, it didn't seem to be of any help to them. This kind of supernatural power is naturally to deal with supernatural opponents. Pointing at it kills mosquitoes bigger than faces...... This seems to be less real than lime and green clay.

Perhaps all three of them realized this, so none of them said anything, but they were all engrossed in preparing to drill through the "danger zone" of the old trees.

But when they had just walked in front of the old tree, Qin Zhen stretched out his hand to open the layer of vines, he suddenly stopped! And the hand that was halfway stretched out also froze in mid-air.

Gu Jie in the back looked anxious, so he asked urgingly: "Da Zhen, what's wrong with you?" No, just say it, you come to the middle, buddy, I'll be a pioneer! ”

Unbeknownst to him, Qin Zhen not only did not return a few words to Lao Gu, but also began to tiptoe backwards. He didn't speak, and pushed Gu Jie back vigorously.

Although Lao Gu was a hundred puzzles in his heart, he could also see that Qin Zhen was not suspicious, he must have seen something. So at this time, he also closed his mouth and retreated very cooperatively.

When they retreated to their previous position, Lao Gu asked in a low voice, "What is it?" ”

"Mosquito ......" Qin Zhen's face was very ugly, and even when he said this, his eyes looked a little flustered.

"What?" Lao Gu didn't seem to understand what Qin Zhen meant.

"That tree was full of mosquitoes...... Because it was so dense, we didn't even see it, and we just thought it was a simple layer of moss on top. ”

When Lao Gu heard this, he had goosebumps all over his body! He shuddered and said, "You—do you see clearly?" It's disgusting! Isn't that mosquito bigger than a face? How can it be densely attached to an old tree?! Lao Gu said angrily in disunderstanding.

Qin Zhen made himself as calm as possible, he looked at the tree, and analyzed rationally: "Not only the surface of the tree, I suspect that the inside will also be full of mosquitoes. This tree has been turned into a mosquito nest. And the red skull marked should refer to this place! If you want to walk towards the Lotus Secret Realm, you must pass through here. As for the size of the problem...... I think it might be a male mosquito. ”

"Holy! Don't tease me, okay? Mosquitoes still/male and female? Not all that one virtue!! Besides, these male mosquitoes are all small? Watching from home in groups? Are female mosquitoes bigger than their faces? Going hunting? Is this law reasonable? Lao Gu's face was full of disbelief, and he even felt ridiculous for Qin Zhen's statement.

But Qin Zhen said with a stern face: "Old Gu, the mosquito is not an earthworm, of course it is male and female!" And don't you know that mosquitoes only suck blood from females, while males only suck the juice of plants. This explains why these male mosquitoes are full of attachments to trees. A place like the rainforest is definitely the best environment for them to survive. Maybe because of the peculiar breed itself, coupled with blood sucking, the female mosquito will change into that and become the king of blood mosquitoes. ”

Jiang Qi looked at Lao Gu's stunned appearance on the side, and added: "Aren't ants also queens, and bees also have queens?" Lao Gu, is this so difficult to understand? ”

Qin Zhen pulled the corners of his mouth, patted Lao Gu and said, "Brother, your machismo is probably useless in the natural world. Let's think about what to do with these things! We can't move forward without getting rid of the mosquitoes in this tree. Let's just say they don't suck blood, but that's a terrible amount! Who knows if they will suddenly change their appetite when threatened? ”

Lao Gu nodded again and again, which meant that as long as they could be destroyed, anything would be done. But then it will definitely not dare to come forward.

Qin Zhen touched his nose, rolled his eyes, and then said hesitantly: "Actually, I have a way, we can try." However, there is some element of luck in this. ”

"Oops, why are you so inked! Something to say! What's the solution?? Lao Gu interrupted Qin Zhen impatiently. (To be continued......)
