"Let's stick to the wall, remember one thing, even if an insect crawls on you, don't attack, don't make any noise, except for cockroaches, nothing else is poisonous, and there will be no serious consequences if bitten." Jiang Xun advised.

We slowly paddled the raft to the edge of the wall and gently pushed the carcass away with the oars for some distance long enough for us to pass.

The water vapor is thick, and the surroundings are no longer the same as we were the day before yesterday, and the fog that was about to disperse was also temporarily reminded, and changed its temperament to stay, and spit out more hazy scenery like a mischief.

There was a gust of wind in the cave, and the river rippled at your feet.

The raft walked very slowly, Jiang Xun moved the corpse slowly in front of him, and the cockroaches continued to pour out, persistently swimming towards the rope that was endowed with magical power. The cockroaches who arrived at the place lay on it, and the later ones had no place, so they pressed on the backs of the previous batch of cockroaches, and stacked them one by one.

Be careful, and your breath will not be heard.

Except for Jiang Xun, no one dared to make a big move, and no one dared to make a sound.

The fog was pushed by the wind, and we followed behind, the long river holding the corpses in sight, with no end in sight.

When a person is in one position for a long time and is highly stressed, muscle fatigue also comes on exceptionally quickly.

My defenses were gradually decreasing, I was so sleepy that I couldn't open my eyes, my mind seemed to be covered with a thick quilt, bulging, and my forehead was swollen and painful, as if I would fall asleep on the spot in a few seconds.

I wondered why my body had become so bad, I used to make coffins when I was in a hurry, I spent a few all-nighters working overnight, and I was still alive during the day, why I didn't sleep well all night, and I was sleepy like this.

His eyelids sank, and he closed his eyes and tightened his brows to sober himself.

Zi didn't see my abnormality, and asked me if I was okay with my eyes, I shook my head gently, and there was a little pain in my chest, a feeling that I had never felt before, a feeling of numbness and numbness.

It took too long and there were many corpses along the way, and it took half a day to walk patiently a few steps.

I was trying to figure out how to distract myself so that time didn't seem so slow, but just as I was looking for a topic worth pondering, I saw snakes crawling down the wall, looking exactly like the ones I found in bed.

If those snakes and insects were really released by Wang Min, he may have been to Muzhang County before.

Tang Jiao almost subconsciously shouted when he saw the snake, but I stepped forward in time, grabbed him by the neck, dragged him to my side, and covered his mouth so that he would not snort.

Tang Jiao's face was flushed by me, and he blinked at me in response, and when I let go of him, he was suffocated in his chest, and he didn't dare to gasp up in a loud voice.

He himself covered his mouth with his sleeve, and with great difficulty, the snakes had already climbed onto the raft.

Jiang Xun shook his head and told us not to move, and the three of us stood one by one, the snake wrapped around our feet, and began to climb up along our ankles.

I didn't wear that much in the summer, and when the snakeskin was on my skin again, my hairs stood on end, goosebumps fell to the ground, and my eyes were staring at the eight-claw hook not far away. I don't know why, there is still a long way to go in the river ahead, but I think that when we get to the place where the eight-claw hook is, the situation will be better.

Seeing that we were getting closer and closer to that place, Ziwei and Tang Jiao and I were all covered with stout snakes, like sacks that had been cut and torn, hanging a few upside-down rags.

Jiang Xun was still different from us, he stood at the head of the raft, paddling slowly and leisurely with the oars in his hands, and the snakes that were close to him were coiled around his feet, and none of them stepped forward to climb on his body.

They seem to regard us as a resting place, but they regard Jiang Xun as a king, entrenched and guarded by their side.

Everything here is a beast, a poison, not a domesticated friend, and it is only natural for them to attack us, but why put on a posture of subservience, with a special case for a single person?

I can't explain it, I can't understand it, and the mysterious veil on Jiang Xun's body in my heart has a thick layer, making it impossible to see his true face.

Just when our raft was drawn parallel to the eight-claw hook of the rope, Jiang Xun turned around, stopped the raft in the corpse pile, threw back the dagger he had used before to me, and said sharply: "Kill!" ”

I was stunned, and while raising my hand to catch it, my body also subconsciously reacted, cutting off the head of the snake closest to my neck with a backhand, and cutting it into several pieces in a row.

The people on the raft were finally able to move, but those snakes were not easy to kill, there were too many of them, and one could not take care of the other.

When I threw them all into the river, my hands, legs, and waist were bitten a few times, and I was sweating profusely.

The cockroach on the rope heard the movement and was about to rush, Jiang Xun had already prepared, "snapped" and flicked off the lighter, controlled his strength, and threw it at the rope.

The moment the flame touched the rope, it was like being poured a bucket of gasoline, and the flames ignited all of a sudden, almost like an eruption, and the sparks splashed everywhere, and it was a death when it got on the cockroach. In less than a second, the whole rope was completely burned, and the skin of the cockroach was crackled by the fire, and the flames were raging into the sky, but there was no smoke, no smell, just kept burning, and kept burning.

Just when this flame ignited and a large number of cockroaches died like this, the surrounding environment also changed.

The road ahead was shortening, and the river suddenly changed its appearance, and there was no long flowing water, and the dense fog was removed, and the scene of a rainforest was seen.

The tall trees are towering into the sky, branch after branch, leaf on leaf on leaf, coiled and intertwined, and even the light penetrates into the dark gray green.

The uneven wet soil between the ravines, the large leaves that facilitate heat dissipation, and the kudzu vines wrap around the trunks of the trees, and there are lush greenery everywhere.

I looked back and saw that the way we had come was gone, and there was no river of corpses, no burning cockroaches and ropes.

Beneath our feet, the raft was not parked in the water, but in the middle of a swamp, surrounded by empty water and bubbling in the muddy water.

In the grass in the distance, several small insects jumped from one leaf to another.

All of this is very similar to the scene of the mirage that Jiang Xun and I saw in the woods behind the bushes.

"This is Muzhang County?" Tang Jiao grinned, covering his buttocks, which had been bitten by a snake, with a mouth, nosebleeds flowed down, and the back of his hand was wiped on his face.

Ziwei and I are no better than him, no one laughed at him, and he couldn't laugh at the moment, because it was true that he found Muzhang County, but we were in a swamp, and how to get out was more of a problem.

"Don't look at me." Jiang Xun met my gaze, "I'm also afraid of sinking, I can't help it." ”

His face was hot, and he didn't realize when he wanted to rely on him for anything.

I remembered that at the power station, Jiang Xun took his bag and put it under my feet to cross the mud, and look at the distance, if there were two planks, and walk alternately like that, almost to the other side.

I looked down at the raft under my feet, didn't understand what I meant, and said, "The tools are all in the bag, if you want to dismantle it, you can do it now, soon." ”

I hummed, Ziwei didn't have time to get the tool, suddenly an arrow shot over, the space was too small to dodge, I gritted my teeth and blocked in front of Ziwei, but the arrow that shot at him stopped less than a millimeter in front of me.

I looked at Jiang Xun, he held the arrow, and with a little force, he broke it into two.

Suddenly, a whistle sounded, and a group of strangely dressed people poured out of the surrounding jungle, with patterns painted on their foreheads and faces, shirtless, with a totem carved like a badge on their shoulders, and with primitive weapons, drawing improvised bows and arrows aimed at us.

Jiang Xun didn't know what his psychology was, and he smiled when he looked at them holding bows, "It seems that we don't have to find a way to get out of this swamp by ourselves." ”

"Ancestor, don't laugh, you didn't see people pointing arrows at us."

"What's the hurry?" Jiang Xun said: "Someone will always come out and give us a chance to live. ”

We are foreign intruders, and the first arrow before was not aimed at the fatal part, there are so many of them, it is too easy to kill us, and before we can do it, there are their concerns.

No one knows if anyone else who knows about this place will follow us if we die.

There was a man on the other side who shouted something at us, in a language that we didn't understand.

"He asked us who we were, where we came from, and why." Jiang Xun translated for us.

Tang Jiao said: "Tell them quickly, we don't know how we got in, it's all a misunderstanding, we'll leave immediately." ”

Jiang Xun shrugged his shoulders, "I'm sorry, I will only listen, not speak." ”

The other end was shouting again, but this time not to us, but to another person beside him, who had put away his bow and arrows and ran deep into the jungle.

"They're going to report to the chief."

After Jiang Xun finished speaking, not long after, the man ran back with a young girl.

As soon as we saw that girl, Tang Jiao and I were a little stunned.

She is very beautiful, her eyes are not big, they are very clear, like a hidden lake, sprinkled with stars in the night sky, and her long eyelashes are like rows of willows, guarding this pupil lake full of affection.

When she looks at you, she doesn't have to wait to speak, her eyes speak first.

Standing there with small features and a slender figure, long hair braided, even the odd outfit became exotic.

"Who are you?" The girl opened her mouth and asked us from afar.

Tang Jiao's eyes were straight, and he didn't say a word at this time for the set of rhetoric he had made up.

Seeing that we did not speak, the girl turned back to the man who had called him and spoke a few words in the local language, after which the man waved his hand, and the others put away their bows and arrows. A man took a heavy cylindrical shape, lowered it in front of the swamp, raised his foot and kicked it, and the cylindrical bone rolled away until it reached our feet.

It is a roll of wooden boards.

"I take back the sentence that we will leave immediately, this is really a good place, hehe, don't talk for a while, let me talk to her." Tang Jiao was the first to step on the plank with his bag on his back, and he didn't cover his buttocks at this time, straightened his waist and tried not to limp towards the girl.

The three of us looked at each other, and always felt that it was not so simple, and after following us to the shore, the girl looked at us, and Tang Jiao was about to open her mouth, she said a word in dialect, and the other men all took out their knives and put them neatly on the necks of several of us.
