At this critical moment, a crisp gunfire suddenly rang out, and Lantern Xiao raised his gun and fired two shots at the ghost vine next to Wen Mo on the tree. Although these vines are not very thin, they are almost as thick as a forearm. But even so, it is not easy to hit with bullets.

Lantern Xiao's two shots missed, and he turned to me and Anador and shouted, "Quick!! Help me be on the alert! ”

The two of us hurried over and watched around the Lantern Festival in case a ghost vine sneaked up on him. Lantern Xiao quickly ran a few steps, found a suitable shooting point, half-squatted into the water, put the pistol on his arm, closed one eye and focused on aiming, and then pulled the trigger, "pop papa" and fired several shots in a row. I quickly turned my head to look in Wenmo's direction. Fortunately, the Lantern Festival shots really worked, and two ghost vines around Wen Mo were broken, so that Wen Mo's hand holding the knife, which was not restrained, broke free at once.

As soon as Wen Mo's hand was released, the rest of the scene was like Sun Wukong, who had just rushed out of Laojun's gossip furnace, and it was turned upside down in an instant, and several ghost vines around him were cut down at once.

Wenmo jumped out of the encirclement of the ghost vine and landed neatly from the tree. As he ran past us, he whispered, "Thank you!" ”

Wenmo's words instantly filled our hearts with a sense of satisfaction, I didn't expect that we would finally save Wenmo one day, not for any vanity or value embodiment, but because Wenmo had done too many things, we just could repay him some favors. Especially the Lantern Festival, he opened his big mouth and laughed for a while.

We followed Wenmo and continued to move forward, these ghost vines seemed to be shocked, and it was also possible that they were seriously damaged, although there were still occasional attacks along the way, but compared to the scale of the storm just now, this was simply a drizzle level, and we could easily deal with it.

We waded forward for a while, and at last I noticed that the water was getting lighter and lighter, and I immediately realized that we were about to get out of this swamp!

Sure enough, after passing through a few broad-leaved metasequoias, the long-lost land reappeared in front of us. We walked two steps to the shore, and it was still a good feeling, and I suddenly had a strange thought, I can see the road under my feet, I am happy!

We turned around and looked behind us, this vast swamp seemed quiet and peaceful at this time, but who would have thought that there were murderous intentions hidden everywhere in it, and I remembered a sentence I had heard before, there are many places in this world, and they are not places for human beings to set foot in at all.

In the direction we are going, there is still a dense jungle ahead. I tried my best to recall the location of yesterday and the direction of the cigarette letter I saw, and after adding the position and direction of the cigarette letter that Wenmo saw at that time, we crossed the lines of the two, and finally determined the place where the intersection point was the specific location where the cigarette letter rose.

At this time, several of us were very embarrassed, and everyone was soaking wet, but the good thing was that we had washed all the stinky mud we had made when we fought blind insects in the low swamp.

A gust of wind blew, and I felt cold on my body, and I couldn't help but sneeze.

Anador also hugged her shoulders on the side, "Let's find a place to rest as soon as possible, otherwise this situation will be sick for a long time." ”

Wen Mo nodded, "Get out of here, let's go to the jungle!" ”

We don't have any objection to this, and I wish I could get as far away from this swamp as possible!

And I still have a question in my heart, although since we walked out of the swamp, those ghost vines don't seem to come out, and they don't attack us, but my heart is still not steady, I always feel that they won't just give up our big meal, but a plant is impossible to think, what it does is a stress response that has evolved over thousands of years, but whether we have escaped from its encirclement, I am really not sure.

And I heard Wenmo say just now that this ghost vine is actually a part of the ghost vine flower, but the mysterious ghost vine flower body is hidden somewhere in the swamp, or it is not in the swamp at all. These thoughts in my heart inevitably caused some worries.

The direction of the target was determined, and it was in this direction that the jungle was entered. It is densely wooded and diverse. At this time, it was close to noon, and the sunlight became much stronger, and the light shone in through the gaps in the branches and leaves above our heads, forming a dappled light and shadow, which was actually quite meaningful.

There are many kinds of trees growing in this jungle, but we only pay attention to one thing, and that is the vines, and every time we encounter this kind of plant, we will take a closer look, for fear that there will be ghost vines around us again.

We had a rough estimate of the distance from here to where we found the cigarette letter, and at least one to two hours at our normal pace, so we decided to take a break, not that we couldn't hold on, but we couldn't take any chances, and it was dangerous to get sick in this place if we didn't get effective treatment, and besides, we didn't have time to delay any longer.

We found a relatively flat clearing in the jungle and started a fire. Already frozen, we were desperate to get warm, and we immediately gathered around the fire. The scorching flame roasted on our bodies, and I could even see a hint of moisture rising from each of us.

The top priority, we must first dry the clothes on our bodies, Lantern Xiao got up and couldn't wait to take off his shirt and began to untie his pants, until Anadot next to him screamed, Lantern Xiao came back to his senses, quickly re-tied his pants, and apologized again and again, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's too cold, I forgot!" ”

So we set up two tents by the fire, one for the three of us, one for Anado, and we took off our clothes, carried them on a long branch, and went to bake them beside the fire. Although it was a little tiring, this method was quite effective, the clothes were dried quickly, although some areas were not completely dry, but the whole garment was baked hot, and it was much more comfortable to wear.

After changing our clothes, we walked out of the tent one after another, ate something, and boiled some hot water, which made our condition get a big improvement. But the recovery of this state is only relative, the fatigue and muscle soreness in the body are still relatively obvious, if I simply ask what I want to do now, I really want to sleep, but now is not the time to sleep.

I put the tent away and poured water on the fire on the ground, and in such a jungle, fire prevention is very important, and you have to be very careful with fire.

Everything was packed up and we continued in the predetermined direction. As we got closer to where the cigarette letter appeared, we became more cautious in our actions. We don't know if the person who set up the cigarette letter is still nearby, so we have to be more careful. A few of us scattered, each vigilant and moving forward, felt like a jungle war in an American blockbuster, which was both exciting and exciting.

Wenmo found a suitable tree, like a spirit monkey, and climbed it lightly, barely making a sound. He looked around the tree for a moment and made a gesture to us to indicate that our destination was not far ahead.

I walked forward for a while, and after I got out of a bush, I found a pile of burning marks in the open space ten meters in front of me, and it seemed that our judgment was correct, this is the place where the smoke signal was originally issued.

I had just wanted to get up and walk over, when I suddenly noticed a figure flashing by in the bushes on the opposite side. I was immediately shocked that there was someone here. I wanted to look up and gesture to Wenmo on the tree, but he seemed to have caught up with him earlier than I had noticed.

Anador and Lantern Xiao, who were not far away, didn't see the figure, so they didn't understand why. Lantern Xiao thought I made a questioning expression, I didn't care about talking to him, I just made a gesture to him to ask him and Anaduo to pay attention to the surroundings, fortunately, I have known Lantern Xiao for so many years, these tacit understandings are still there, Lantern Xiao did not dwell on this issue, but raised his hand and said OK to me.

So, I got up and chased in the direction where the figure had disappeared. I ran to the woods where he had just disappeared, but standing here I looked around, full of branches, vines, bushes, and there were still people there.

I groaned slightly, but fortunately I had a secret weapon in addition to my eyes, and I held my breath and listened carefully to the sounds around me, and sure enough, in front of my right, there was an unusual rustling sound.

I rushed over without thinking about it, and before I arrived, I saw that there was a person already standing there, it was Wenmo.

I ran over to him and cast a questioning look, Wenmo shook his head slightly, and instead of speaking, he pointed to an extremely dense bush not far from him.

I understood what Wenmo meant, the two of us pursued from two directions and converged here, so that figure was probably hiding nearby, and the best place to hide around this area was this bush. Because this bush is extremely dense, it can be said that it is impermeable, so even if someone is hiding inside, they must not be able to see the outside.

Wenmo and I flanked from both sides, and then suddenly rushed into the bushes, we thought that such a move would startle the grass and snakes, if someone hid inside, they would definitely be frightened and run away, so that we would be able to catch them, but we didn't expect that after we rushed in, there were no other creatures in the bushes except for a few birds and a flying insect.

Wenmo and I were a little surprised, did we guess wrong, just as I was about to turn around and go out, not far behind me, a person suddenly stood up, strangled my neck, and a short knife instantly hit my carotid artery.
