I finally know what Wenmo is referring to, it's cloudy now, and heavy clouds are obscuring the sun! In other words, there is no sunlight at all, and there is no way to shine the shadow of the mountain, and if this is the case, what is the dark place in the river that I regard as the shadow of the mountain peak!

There is only one possibility, and there is a huge stretch of something hidden beneath the surface of the river. I don't exaggerate when I say it's extremely long.

Because the dark shadow below the surface of the river meanders along the river from the corner of the mountains in front of it. And when I turned to look behind me, the black shadow in the river was still stretching into the distance, and disappeared into another bend in the river.

I finally understood why Wen Mo said that just now, and indeed as he said, only when the water level is lowered, the secret below will be revealed. Because even if the current water level of the river is at its lowest level in 50 years, if it were not for Wenmo's reminder, we still can't see it, according to this situation, as long as the water level rises a little more than a few dozen centimeters, the things under the water surface will be completely hidden.

Following this line of thought, I seem to be able to guess why the second uncle and Yuan An chose to come here at this time, maybe now is the best time.

I was thinking, but Lantern Xiao was still shouting, "Why didn't I see anything!" Anador in front of me also shook his head while watching, but Wenmo didn't seem to have any intention of continuing to explain, and turned his head to look at the other side of the suspension bridge.

I waved my hand at Lantern Festival, "Hey! Stop talking nonsense! Look at that! As I spoke, I pointed to the dark shadow that appeared beneath the water's surface.

But the Lantern Festival is the same as when I first looked at it just now, and I didn't react at all. Sometimes it's hard for people to jump out of habitual thinking.

I pointed to the shadow that appeared on the surface of the water and said, "That's not a shadow at all!" ”

As soon as my voice fell, Anaduo reacted faster than Lantern Xiao, and immediately her face changed, "It's true!" What is that? It seems to be underwater! ”

At this time, Lantern Xiao also reacted, looked at us and said, "Damn! What's that? ”

Wen Mo didn't speak, as if he was thinking about something. I could only mutter, "Who knows what this is!" ”

Lantern Xiao looked at the other side, "Shall we find a place to dive into the water and have a look?" ”

As soon as I heard it, I felt that it was inappropriate, so I quickly stopped him, "Don't, with the lesson of the stone man just now, this place is not simple, let's be cautious." ”

Lantern Xiao nodded, and asked Anaduo: "Sister, cross this suspension bridge, where does this road lead?" Is it directly to the mountains? ”

Anador shook his head, "After crossing this bridge, there is a forest ranger station on the top of the white stone in front, after the forest ranger station, and then over the mountain, there are still a few scattered families on the opposite hillside, and there is a village at the foot of the mountain, if you follow this road further north, you will enter the county seat." ”

"Huh?" Lantern Xiao looked inside along the suspension bridge, "After a long time, this road is not the road into the mountain, but the road out of the mountain?" ”

Wen Mo, who had never participated in our discussion, suddenly asked, "Where is this river further down?" ”

Anador was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Oh, you're asking about the direction of the Caibu River, right?" As she spoke, she raised her hand and pointed, "If you go inside the white stone top, you will find Xueyanping, and if you continue to go forward, you will find Tengmen Mountain." Snow Rock Flat is already off the beaten track, where the jungle is dense and the environment is extremely complex. And Tengmen Mountain is basically the hinterland of 100,000 mountains, there is a typical rainforest area, towering trees shade the sky and the sun, the sun can't shine into the forest at all, there is damp and dark inside, all kinds of poisonous snakes and beasts are entrenched in it, and there is the most deadly miasma, once you encounter that kind of thing, it is impossible to survive. It is a forbidden area for humans, and legend has it that whoever enters there, no one will get out alive. Even the most experienced old hunters were reluctant to go near that place. ”

Wen Mo nodded.

Looking at the depths of the slightly misty mountains in the distance, I couldn't help but feel slightly distracted, and suddenly a gust of mountain wind blew, and the suspension bridge began to shake violently again. Frightened, I hurriedly grabbed the iron cables on both sides, "I said, everyone, let's go down the bridge if we have anything, okay!" It's not good to talk about it here! ”

So the four of us walked straight across the suspension bridge and along the mountain road for a while. The mountain road winds along the mountain for a while, and then winds its way to the north.

Here we stopped, according to Anadot, this mountain road is the closest to the deepest of the 100,000 mountains, and if you want to go inside, there is no road. Here we have to go down the road, and then we go down the mountain road, and we go out.

We plunged headlong into the dense bushes on the side of the road, and we slashed through the staggered branches and vines as we walked forward.

The idea was to follow the river and reach Snow Rock Flat first. Because according to what Anado's father told us, I speculated that the location of the valley he strayed into at that time should be at the transition between the white rock top and the snow rock flat. Of course, I won't tell Anador about these thoughts, after all, we promised her father that we would keep these things secret for him.

Due to the dense woods, we couldn't see the outside at all, but we were not far from the Tsebu River, so we could clearly hear the sound of the river rushing and at the same time, we used it to guide us.

As she progresses, Annado reminds us to be careful of mosquitoes and poisonous snakes. Fortunately, we prepared insect repellent and mosquito repellent in advance, and I and Lantern Xiao each sprayed a lot on the exposed parts of our bodies, and sprayed Wenmo a little, I asked Anador if she wanted it, but she waved her hand, reached out and took out some plants with purple flower bones from her bag, squeezed out some juice, and then smeared it on her neck, face and hands.

I looked curious, so I asked, "Sister, what are you wiping this?" ”

Anaduo smiled and said, "This is called Purple Top Dragon Sprout, also called Verbena. Lantern Xiao next to him immediately came over when he heard this, "Verbena? I've heard this, I've seen movies where people use this stuff against vampires! Lantern Xiao's eyes widened deliberately, "Sister, is it possible that we are going to fight vampires in a while?" ”

I know that Lantern Festival is stinky and poor again, and he will be uncomfortable after saying that he is not poor for a while. Anaduo glanced at him, "There is no common sense at all, this dragon sprout grass is a medicinal herb, which can be used to repel insects and detoxify." What do you think? Would you like to have some? ”

I waved my hand, "No need, we have all prepared strong insect repellent water and mosquito repellent, mosquitoes within a radius of ten meters can't get in, it's okay!" ”

Anado sneered, "Your kind of chemical preparation, just put on a show, and when you go deep into the woods, it won't work at all." ”

Lantern Xiao put the insect repellent medicine in his hand into his bag, "You have to believe in modern science." ”

Anador snorted coldly, "Don't come to me if you are bitten for a while!" With that, he walked straight forward.

Wenmo walked at the front, chopping the branches with a short knife to clear the way for us. We followed the sound of the water, looked for a route we could take, and slowly approached the direction of the river.

Many branches in the woods are entangled and intertwined, and many of them have withered and rotted due to the competition for nutrients and sunlight. In such a place, sometimes you slash down with a knife, as if you have stabbed a hornet's nest, and with a pop, countless insects of all kinds will fly out of it. I don't know if the insect repellent water on our body is really effective, these flying insects all scattered and fled, and they didn't hit us.

At this time, Lantern Xiao said to Anaduo with some pride: "How about it, this modern chemical preparation is also effective, there are so many insects, none of them dare to approach this young master!" ”

Lantern Xiao was chattering, and suddenly a faceless insect fell from his wrist as if he was deliberately against Lantern Xiao, and he didn't know where to fall from. The insect has a black body and swings its antennae and tail, as if it is demonstrating to the Lantern Festival.

Lantern Xiao suddenly had a feeling of being slapped in the face, and said angrily: "Hey, there is really this one who doesn't know whether to live or die!" As he spoke, he raised his hand and slapped it at the bug.

When Anador saw it, he immediately shouted, "Don't! ”

But it was too late, Lantern Xiao's speed was faster, and the worm was shot to death by Lantern Xiao, and at the same time, a stream of yellow water flowed out, Lantern Xiao looked at Anaduo, who had a shocked expression, and flicked the insect corpse in his hand to the side, "What's wrong?" Can this worm bite me? ”

Anador looked at him a little strangely, but did not speak. At the same time, Lantern Xiao's face changed, and he cried out with an "ah", "It hurts!" This bug is poisonous! Lantern Xiao held her wrist tightly and screamed in pain.

At this time, a row of blisters the size of broad beans appeared on his wrist, which had been contaminated by the body fluids of eating insects, and the wound began to become a little rotten.

Lantern Xiao sat down on the ground all of a sudden, and Anaduo stepped forward to support him, and then said to me, "Quick, help him get out of here!" ”

We helped the Lantern Festival to the middle of a few trees on the side, and the Lantern Festival was still calling vigorously.

Anador looked at Lantern Xiao helplessly, "What about a big man!" Hold on! With that, he turned around and rummaged through his bag.

At this time, Wen Mo walked over and looked at Lantern Xiao's wound, frowning slightly.

Seeing Wen Mo's expression, Lantern Xiao immediately became a little nervous, "Boss, does it matter if I'm injured?" I'm not going to die of poisoning! ”

Wen Mo shook his head gently, "It's okay, it's just the corrosion of the body fluids of the cryptoptera, it hurts a little, and if you don't have allergies, you can't die!" It's just disgusting to watch! ”

"Oh," Lantern Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, "but it's not a little painful, it's really painful!" ”

"That's right, the bug that bites you is called a cryptoptera, and the PH value of this bug's body fluid is only 1 to 2, which is almost equivalent to concentrated sulfuric acid." At this point, Anador turned, holding a hook knife and a small medicine bottle in her hand.
