It was almost ten o'clock, and if he wanted to return to the village before the sun set, Li Xiao had to speed up. If the trip is delayed, then Li Xiao will have to spend the night in the mountains at night.

Ning Village is surrounded by primeval forests, and spending the night in the mountains is something that even a good hunter would not dare to do.

Everyone in the village knows that night in the mountains is a hundred times more dangerous than during the day. Because many animals that can kill people are infested at night, and spending the night in the mountains is no different from suicide.

At first, Li Xiao didn't care too much. This area is close to the village, and there are often villagers picking wild vegetables here, and there is not much danger.

After walking for about an hour, the original low shrubs disappeared, replaced by a large tree hugged by several people, these big trees are towering to the sky, towering into the sky, the huge canopy will cover the sun tightly, leaving only a little gap, through the gap, the sun is sprinkled in the forest, reflecting a pillar of light, the scenery is very beautiful.

But Li Xiao's face did not have any intoxicated expression, but a cautious face.

Only the people of the village know about the danger here.

This was already the depths of the forest, and Li Xiao had already turned on the perspective ability, and the scene ahead appeared in his mind at all.

Holding a sharp thick-backed mountain knife and cutting off the branches and thorns beside the road, Li Xiao cut a path forward with difficulty.

After walking for a while, a faint mist rose on the ground, Li Xiao knew that this was a miasma formed by the decay of dead leaves and corpses on the ground, poisonous, smelling too much to make people dizzy, and people who were not in good health would even be in danger of life.

Li Xiao took out a small pill and put it in front of his nose, and the thick fishy smell made Li Xiao's brows furrow.

This is a pill configured by his grandfather Li Laojiu, which is light and easy to carry, and it is a good medicine to deal with these miasma, although the taste is a little unpleasant.

But to be honest, although his grandfather is usually quite unreliable, that is the medical skill, which is still good, at least in this Ning village, the villagers have a headache and brain fever, all of which are seen by Li Laojiu, and often only need a pair of decoctions, which can be cured in a few days.

When Li Xiao was twelve years old, Li Laojiu didn't know whether he was missing or dead, in short, he disappeared.

With the help of the perspective ability, Li Xiao moved forward quickly. Suddenly, his body stopped all of a sudden, and a look of horror appeared on his face. His body began to slowly retreat, and after exiting about a hundred meters, Li Xiao wiped the sweat from his head and let out a long sigh of relief.

Just now, with the help of the ability, Li Xiao saw that on the ground not far from him, there was a dark red bulge. The height of the bulge is about a few tens of centimeters, and the range is only a few square meters in size.

However, the moment Li Xiao saw this bulge, he was frightened.

This dark red bulge is slowly squirming, and if you look closely, you will see that it is not a bulge at all. The bulge is made up of dense red ants with dark red bodies, about the size of a child's fingers.

These red ants gather together to form clumps, and finally coalesce into a raised bulge.

And the bulge that Li Xiao saw just now was wriggling, which was the result of these ants crawling.

If someone with a phobia of density sees this scene, I'm afraid they will be scared to pee immediately!

Although he didn't know the specific name of this kind of ant, Li Xiao knew that in this forest, this kind of ant colony was the most unprovoked existence.

Back then, someone inadvertently stepped into the bulge, and three seconds later, his body was gnawed into a white bone by countless ants, which was very terrifying.

Li Xiao didn't expect that his luck would be so good that he would encounter a colony of ants here.

At this moment, Li Xiao was a little glad that he had the ability, otherwise, once he stepped into the range of that group of ants, the consequences would be unimaginable.

With the ant nest in front of him blocking the way, Li Xiao did not hesitate and turned directly in another direction. Perhaps because of the experience just now, Li Xiao became more and more cautious.

After walking for about a kilometer, Li Xiao finally came to an open field.

Suddenly, Li Xiao stopped, looked at the things in front of him, and had a smile on his face.

For some unknown reason, most of the trees in this open field have withered, and some of the trees have even broken in two from the middle, and the dense forest around them are completely different worlds.

Li Xiao looked at the dead wood in front of him with bright eyes, no, it should be the things that grew on these dead wood, the corners of his mouth grinned, and he couldn't help laughing, this is really sleepy, someone sent him a pillow.

Li Xiao never dreamed that he would be able to encounter good things as soon as he entered the forest.

On the surface of these dead trees, dark brown gums bloom like flowers, and these are wild black fungus.

Li Xiao and his grandfather have studied some traditional Chinese medicine, so they naturally know the use of wild black fungus.

Wild black fungus in the edible aspect, the meat is thick and delicate, tough but not hard, soft but not rotten, slippery and cool, is an extremely precious mountain treasure, in the medicinal aspect, it is more precious, not only has a nutritional effect, it also has the functions of nourishing qi and strengthening the body, nourishing the kidney and stomach, invigorating blood, etc., it can be said to be a good medicine that cannot be obtained.

On top of that, these wild black fungus come at a high price.

Li Xiao clearly remembers that a few years ago, a hawker went to Ningxiang Village to collect black fungus, and gave a price of 50 yuan per kilogram at that time. At that time, this price caused a sensation in the village.

Isn't it just wild black fungus?

Who has never seen anyone living in Ningxiang Village?

As a result, when the villagers hurriedly entered the forest to search, they found that things were not so simple, the wild black fungus was too harsh on the growing conditions, and the villagers almost turned over the nearby mountains and forests, but unfortunately they did not find much.

Later, some people took a risk and went into the depths of the forest to look for it, but never returned, and it is estimated that they died in the deep mountains and old forests.

This incident also calmed down the villagers, money is important, but life is one's own, if life is gone, what is the use of asking for money? Gradually, the villagers' enthusiasm for wild black fungus has cooled down.

Li Xiao knows very well that wild black fungus is very expensive, especially those that are dried, and the price is ridiculously expensive. He looked around, this air area is very large, and there are thousands of dead trees, perhaps because the conditions here are suitable for the growth of fungus, and on each dead tree, there are a lot of black fungus, clumps, clusters.

"Damn, it's here!" Li Xiao was excited.
