Chapter 82: Qilin Mountain

Finally bidding farewell to Baihua Mountain, a paradise for mosquitoes, the team came to the foot of Qilin Mountain.

Lush and lush, there is an infinite sea of green in front of you.

The sun is shining, but there is shade to shelter from the trees. A little bit of sunshine, sprinkled in the woods, smelling the fragrance of laurel flowers, makes people feel quite refreshed and refreshed.

Zha Ling'er was in a good mood, and the poetry was flourishing, and she recited the verses of the Wumen Huikai Zen Master: "There are hundreds of flowers in spring and moon in autumn, there is a cool breeze in summer and snow in winter. ”

Hearing the poems chanted by Zha Ling'er, everyone still felt the spring breeze blowing on their faces, and the haze that had been accumulated in their hearts for a long time was suddenly swept away, and they suddenly felt that this was a good time in the world. The heart is relaxed, the nose can smell the fragrance of flowers and trees, and the ears can also hear the beauty of birds and insects.

The fat man suddenly broke my good feelings, and he said to me, "Lao Zheng, I'm going to make it easier." ”

Although the poetry and painting were completely destroyed, because of the sudden feeling of comfort, I suddenly came to the toilet. I can't even remember the last time I had a bowel movement.

I told them to rest where they were, and then walked with the fat man to the far side of the woods.

The fat man asked the cigarette man for a cigarette roll of herbs, for a somewhat ridiculous reason, he said that he was afraid that when it was convenient, his butt would be bitten by mosquitoes too much. The fat man squatted on the ground, lit the cigarette, took a few puffs and handed it to me, I have never liked to smoke, but the cigarette man's cigarette was mixed with herbs that are good for the body, and I was a little afraid of the mosquitoes that kept pounced on my face, so I took two puffs.

The fat man was probably idle and had nothing to say, so he asked me, "Lao Zheng." There is a question that I have been hiding in my heart for a long time, and I want to hear your answer today. ”

It's rare to see a fat man ask a serious question. He nodded and motioned for him to ask, and the fat man first glanced at me. Then he said to me: "Lao Zheng, do you think Tianyu and Fifth Master Zha are really alive?" Before I could answer, the fat man immediately explained: "I don't mean anything else when I ask, don't get me wrong, you know me, I can't hide something in my heart, and once I have doubts, I want to make it clear." The heart can be at ease. ”

Of course, I understand that the fat man has a straightforward personality, and I myself once asked myself, do I really believe that Tianyu and the fifth master are still alive? But because seeing is believing and hearing is false, I haven't seen any direct clues that Tianyu is still alive, so I haven't come up with a positive answer. However, I choose to believe, firmly choose to believe that Tianyu is still alive. Since I disappeared from the rain. has always been determined to believe that she is still alive and has never changed.

I told the fat man what I thought, and the fat man immediately said to me, "Brother, as long as you believe firmly." I also believe that I will work with you to find the missing Sister Tianyu. ”

He smiled happily and said to the fat man, "There are brothers by my side to help." I believe that I will be able to recover the rain. ”

The fat man was also in a good mood and said, "Actually, I heard you say that." I was finally relieved. Later, when Yue'er wakes up, we will be complete. ”

I imagined us together. His face was about to smile, and he suddenly remembered that there was another person, so he said to the fat man: "Master accepted the monkey as a disciple, he is now our own junior brother, and we have to help him find a good girl in the future." ”

The fat man nodded, and the two of us were immersed in beautiful fantasies, as if a dream was about to come true in the blink of an eye.

Suddenly, he heard screams in the distance, seemingly coming from where his teammates were resting.

I happened to be lifting my pants at this time, and when I heard the scream, I immediately urged the fat man who was still squatting on the ground and said, "Hurry up, I'll go first." After saying that, he fastened his belt while running, and quickly ran to the place where his teammates had rested. Realizing that all the people were not in the camp, he immediately began to look around, and found that there seemed to be a figure flickering in front of him, so he immediately ran towards the figure.

When I ran to the place where the figure was shaking, I found that there was no one around. So he immediately shouted around: "Ling'er, monkey, where are you?" ”

As he walked, he shouted, but he didn't call half of the people to answer. Suddenly, I suddenly noticed that something didn't seem right around me.

Most of the trees in the Qilin Mountain are laurel trees with dense and neat branches and leaves, and now is the time when the flowers are in full bloom and fragrant. However, I suddenly realized that not half of the flowers were in full bloom in the woods that I had accidentally entered. And what's even more strange is that most of the outer bark of the surrounding laurel trees has fallen off, revealing dry and dry trunks, and on the dry trunks, as if they have tumors, bulging out big bags, looking very ugly and ugly, gloomy and woody. In broad daylight, the sun is scorching, and my skin can't help but get goosebumps.

This forest has a very eerie atmosphere, and compared to the previous green woods, the uncomfortable feeling has reached the extreme.

The figure that flickered here before and disappeared is now certain that it is definitely not a teammate, it seems that someone specially led me here. Knowing that someone did it on purpose, I was a lot more relieved, which showed that the scream just now was not from my teammates, and they were not in danger.

But now is not the time to think about others. If someone really has an ulterior motive to lure me here, then it must be a bad plot and wants to disadvantage me. And I, at a convenient time, did not carry a backpack or a vajra peg, and now I am empty-handed, and it is difficult to deal with sudden crises with my bare hands.

When I thought of the black cat owner who was following us and knew a lot about the magic of the arts, I knew that I was now about to face an unimaginable and terrifying danger.

Not knowing what the purpose of the people who had led me here, I began to look around to see if anyone was hiding in the surrounding woods.

The shape of the tree nodules in the forest is very strange, almost all of the trees are densely covered with oval or round nodules, and the pimples seem to have a strange disease. All the trees were twisted, and there were quite a few roots underneath them, which were also protruding from the ground with teeth and claws, entrenched in the craters of varying shades around the trees. Some of the branches of the trees are in a messy shape, like a large spider spreading its webs and spinning silk; Some of them are very ghostly, like rampant and vicious tree people; Others looked like old women with strange temperaments, with hideous eyes and lowered heads, and their arms outstretched, as if they wanted to catch children who were greedy for fun at night and never returned home. All kinds of strange and hideous trees make the whole forest look like a gathering place for demons and monsters, not to mention how eerie and terrifying! Being in the middle of it, you can only feel the scalp tingling!

After staring at the bare trees without bark and full of ugly bulging trees for a long time, I was shocked to find that the ugly-looking nodules on the trees turned out to be "anthills". There are many small holes in the nodules, and many black ants are busy coming in and out of them. It turned out that the protruding nodule on the tree turned out to be an ant's nest. I didn't expect the ants here to build their anthills on top of trees.

Looking around, it is hard to imagine how many ants must live in such a large area of hideous woods, on top of countless trees, densely packed with tens of thousands of tree nodules. Moreover, I also found that the ants living in these tree nests are all one centimeter long, and some are even the size of half a thumb, which is really amazingly large.

I remember that although the ant colony is very numerous, it is absolutely disciplined, and even when it comes to eating, the previous ant will immediately leave after taking a bite and give up its place to the latter. When the ant troops are in and out, the leader and the broken are definitely the strongest and strongest soldier ants, while the other old, weak, sick and disabled ants are carried by one or two ants. If they encounter danger, the ants will definitely not become a plate of loose sand. They will always believe in the power of many, and they will unite in the face of any crisis, and there will never be a single defection.

For example, in the event of a fire, ants that can't swim will hug together one by one, and then turn into a basketball-sized ant mass and jump into the water, using hundreds of millions of tiny ant legs as a pulp to paddle the water. In the turbulent water, the outermost layer of ants will drown, and then the ant colony will get smaller and smaller. Until they find a safe place to land, there may be only a ping pong ball-sized ant colony left, and they will continue to look for a place to live and start a new life.

Ants have an absolute spirit of sacrifice that puts the group first, so once you become an enemy of an ant, you have to fight its entire team until the ant dies to the last one.

Looking at the huge black ants coming in and out of the nodules, I feel that they seem to look a little similar to "man-eating ants". When I thought of the man-eating ants with their "many ants", even the lions, tigers and leopards were powerless to fight against them, and I felt a chill in my heart and wanted to leave this place as much as possible.

The strange woods full of tree nodules already make people feel gloomy, and if you encounter man-eating ants here again, it will be such a terrifying thing, I can't imagine it at all, I just want to get out of here as much as possible.

But there is a saying that "no book is made without coincidence", and I was about to leave when my teammates suddenly rushed over from a distance. When everyone saw the hideous forest full of ugly tree nodules, they couldn't help but be deeply attracted to their eyes.

Seventh Master Zha walked up to me and asked me, "What's the matter?" How did you get here? ”

I will hear the screams and see the figures, and tell the Seventh Master about it, and the Seventh Master feels the same as me, and thinks that someone did it on purpose and led me to this place. So, staying here now is definitely dangerous. (To be continued......)
