Because, at this time, we are on very high ground, and the higher places generally do not grow too tall trees, which corresponds to the saying, the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

So we could see that the canopy of trees was at our feet, and if it were not for the empty space of the canopy in the middle of the valley, where the river passed, it was like a wide green river, spreading to both sides of the valley.

Looking at the green beneath my feet, I even felt the urge to jump down. I take a deep breath to calm down, in fact, when I stand on a high place and look down, it does subconsciously cause a certain hint to people's psychology, I believe that there are many people who stand on a very high building, when they look down, they will have a kind of idea of jumping down. I shook my head, stopping the strange thoughts that were going through my head.

The second uncle looked at a few of us who were tired and had difficulty breathing, "How are you resting?" Can you continue? ”

I nodded hurriedly, "No problem, you can go at any time!" ”

Lantern Xiao smiled, "As long as your old man is energetic, we will follow you at any time!" ”

The second uncle snorted coldly, "As long as you can keep up with my old man!" ”

A few of us carefully descended this side of the mountain, slowly entering the dense jungle on both sides of the river valley. We had just walked down this steep slope for a while, and the second uncle, who was walking in front, suddenly said "huh", and then raised his foot and stepped onto a branch on the tree next to him.

In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that you can step up the tree with your feet, the terrain here is steep, and many trees grow perpendicular to the horizontal plane, and if these roots are below where we are, then for the height of the branches, it is equivalent to us standing on the steps, so it is really easy to lift your feet and step up the tree.

We hurriedly followed, and I asked softly, "Second uncle, what did you find?" ”

The second uncle pointed to the depths of the dense branches in front of him, "Did you notice anything in there?" ”

"Huh?" I looked in the direction pointed by my second uncle, and I didn't find anything unusual except for the cluttered branches in my eyes. At this point, the others followed. Lantern Xiao and Anaduo came over to take a look, but they didn't see anything wrong.

And Wen Mo, who was broken in the back, just glanced at the front, and couldn't help frowning slightly, "There are a pair of eyes hidden in the branches in front!" ”

"Hiding a pair of eyes??" As soon as Wen Mo's words fell, we immediately became nervous, and instantly put our respective weapons in our hands.

I clutched the dagger and asked, "How can there be a pair of eyes in there?" ”

Anado also asked, "Could it be just a bird?" ”

Lantern Xiao clicked the bullet into loading, "Where is it?" Why didn't I see it!! ”

The second uncle shook his head and sighed, "The quality of the practitioners in our industry is really getting worse and worse!" ”

Hearing the second uncle's words, I suddenly looked at him in surprise, I didn't expect the usually informal second uncle to say his identity so vaguely at this time, until the second uncle quietly made a gesture in the direction of Anado, I understood that the second uncle was still avoiding her.

I opened my mouth and asked, "Look at what you said, then we, the big soil rakes in this industry, can we see it at a glance?" The second uncle coughed hurriedly, and I realized that I had leaked my mouth, so I quickly changed my words, "Ah, those seniors back then, were so good in their eyes?" ”

Lantern Xiao smiled, as if she understood the intention of me and my second uncle to talk like this, and lowered her head and muttered, "It's really hard enough!" ”

The second uncle led us slowly stepping on the branches, and continued: "This kind of eyes are all based on training, when your grandfather trained me, do you know how to train, a basket of corn kernels, you have to find a soybean hidden in it!" A big curtain of rice, take a dozen eyes, you have to find one of the grains of rice immediately! I don't think you've even heard of this kind of thing now. ”

In fact, this inverted bucket is also a craft, in the early years, but all craftsmen have to work hard since childhood. Lantern Xiao and I were almost stupid, and I knew from Lantern Xiao's expression that although this kid grew up in an inverted dou family, it seems that today is the first time I have heard of this kind of thing. No wonder the second uncle always says that there is no successor in this generation!

At this time, Anaduo on the side spoke, "Qiu Ye, why did you just say that Zhuo Ran's grandfather trained you, so isn't that what your ancestors did?" ”

The second uncle's expression froze slightly, and he obviously realized that he had just said something excited. In fact, I don't blame the second uncle for being careless, who would have thought that he would be in such a place, and he would have to hide his identity. The second uncle may also be the first time in his life. Fortunately, the second uncle reacted quickly enough and immediately explained: "Ah, it's not, my ancestors have practiced medicine for generations, but they have dabbled in all aspects, and it was only in my generation that I picked up this craft." ”

Listening to the second uncle's words, I wondered in my heart, could it be that he had already handed over the truth to Anado, wouldn't it! Originally, I had the intention to ask the second uncle, but when I saw him glaring at me, I had to give up.

Walking through the dense canopy, it is like the four of us walking through the canopy of the huge Bodhi gold-leaved banyan earlier, but the difference is that due to the shy phenomenon between different canopies, there will still be a certain gap between the canopy, and we have to jump in the air between the branches from time to time, but the branches below the canopy are also dense, so when we jump, there will be no excessive psychological pressure, because I can't help but think: It's okay, Even if you fall, you will be caught by other branches.

It was probably this hint that made our minds more relaxed, so that everyone walked smoothly and no one made mistakes.

As we progressed, I soon noticed an unusually tangled mass of branches not far ahead, and just inside the branches, I saw a pair of shining eyes. What Wen Mo said just now is indeed true! My heart immediately tightened, and I immediately clenched the short knife in my hand.

Lantern Xiao next to him couldn't help blurting out, "Damn!!" What's that? ”

I took a closer look and said, "What kind of beast does it look like?" ”

"Beasts? Could it be that these tangled branches are the nests it has built for itself? After Lantern Xiao finished speaking, he turned to Anador and said, "Sister, do you know what beasts are in this mountain?" ”

Anaduo thought for a moment and said softly: "There are a lot of wild animals in Guangxi, but looking at those eyes, it may be a clouded leopard or a golden leopard, and there are South China tigers in this mountain, but South China tigers can't climb trees!" ”

I muttered to myself, "Is there a leopard up ahead?" "However, if this is the case, I am not very worried in my heart, if this is just a lone beast, the gun in Lan Xiao's hand and the steel needle in Wenmo's hand can deal with it!

So a few of us cautiously approached, just after a few steps, Lantern Xiao suddenly stopped, he pointed to the big tangled branches, and said a word, but his voice was a little trembling, and trembling so much that I didn't hear what he was saying clearly, I leaned over to him and asked in a low voice, "What did you say?" ”

Lantern Xiao raised the decibel level of her voice, continued to point to the tangled branches, and said, "Ghost vines!" It's a ghost vine!! ”

Hearing these two words, I was full of a spirit, these ghost vines are powerful, I have been taught. Although the addition of the second uncle at this time has strengthened our strength, I still have the urge to turn around and run.

Wen Mo looked at the position of Lantern Xiao's finger, and then shook his head, "That ghost vine has withered!" ”

"Huh?" Lantern Xiao and I were in a bit of a mood stabilisation. The second uncle glared at the two of us, "Panic!" Let's talk about it when we see it clearly! ”

I remembered that I was a little embarrassed about my performance just now, so I opened my mouth to explain: "Second uncle, you don't know how powerful those ghost vines are, and a few of us almost couldn't break through!" Lantern Xiao immediately chimed in, "Yes, yes!" ”

The second uncle laughed, "Nonsense, can I not know, I was also attacked by these tigers when I arrived here before." ”

Hearing that the second uncle called this thing a tiger scorpion, I knew that the second uncle also knew something about this kind of ghost vine. Wen Mo waved his hand at us, made a silent gesture, and then cautiously walked towards those eyes. We all held our breath as Wen Mo approached those eyes, and my heart almost rose to my throat, ready to watch out for something behind those eyes to burst out.

Just when Wenmo was less than five meters away from where the eyes were, I saw his tense body suddenly relax. Just as I was confused, he turned his head and made a gesture to us to disarm the alarm. We hurriedly gathered around, and the second uncle asked, "What's the matter?" What's the situation? ”

Wen Mo pointed to those eyes and said, "It's dead!" ”

As soon as we heard that this thing was dead, we immediately became emboldened, and I reached out and used my short knife to pick open the tangled branches and leaves, and the contents were all exposed at once.

Only then did we see that in the midst of this tangled foliage was the corpse of a wild beast. But this beast is so strange that I don't even know it. I turned my head to look at Anadot, hoping to get an answer from her, but I didn't expect that she would shake her head blankly after watching it for a long time.

I looked at the beast closely, it was supposed to have been dead for very long, and its body was very well preserved. This beast is not small, larger than the South China tiger, but not as big as the Siberian tiger, the body is slender and strong, there is neither the pattern on the leopard's body, nor the same fur color as the black leopard, there are purple markings on its body, the most conspicuous is its back, three light-colored stripes run through the head and tail, this is really a beautiful and majestic animal, but we have never seen it, or even heard of it.
