Chapter 386: Observing the Subtlety
"Miss Xia, what do you think?" Liu Sanmei asked Xia Yanru curiously, wondering what she thought about this matter.
"It's not a road." Xia Yanru replied without thinking.
"Huh? How so? Hu Tian and the others were stunned, but they didn't expect Xia Yanru to say it with real certainty.
"It's not the same place to come down." Xia Yanru's tone was flat, she was aware of it on the cliff, but she was not sure at the time, but after coming down, she saw the surrounding environment, and she was sure.
This situation is not impossible to happen, although the Tang family and the second young people came here for the first time, but they had the information that the Qi family deliberately revealed at that time, so it is very likely that they will directly find the location of the cliff top corresponding to the underground palace.
"So, it's very likely that they went down directly to the top of the dungeon through the top of the cliff?" Hu Tian immediately thought of this possibility, and after finishing speaking, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was very possible.
When the topic is here, everyone has a rough judgment in their hearts, but in the end, the truth is unknown, the people who followed the Tang family and the second young man were either dead or in poor mental condition, and a lot of information was later analyzed by Jinyan Tang himself.
After walking for a while, the fog around me began to lighten, but there was more rubble on the ground, but the grass and plants became less and less flickered in, and at last it was almost impossible to see them again.
"It's strange, you can still see plants in front, why can't you even see a weed now?" Someone was curious about this strange phenomenon and couldn't help but ask.
"You look at the color of the soil on the ground, it's not normal, it looks like it's poisonous, and it can be explained by not growing grass and trees." Hu Tian kicked away a few pieces of gravel with his foot, revealing a little reddened dirt underneath.
"Be careful!" An exclamation of surprise came from the back of the line.
The people who were still interested in the color of the earth were startled by this exclamation, and before they could complain, they turned their heads and were frightened by the sight in their eyes.
"This, this is the lair of poisonous insects, right?" Lang Cai's voice trembled a little.
"No, how do you know these are poisonous insects?" Sun Lao Er was also a little timid, but when he heard Lang Cai's words, he couldn't help but question.
Lang Cai was stunned for a moment, and said yes, how did he know that these were poisonous insects?
It's just that he can't think about the situation, those dense insects crawling from the rear are terrifying, and for a while everyone wants to run but doesn't know how to run, they can only hope that the team leader Xia Yanru can have a way to deal with it.
In less than half a minute from the discovery of the swarm to now, the movement speed of those poisonous insects is not slow, and in the blink of an eye, it has approached a lot.
The reason why Xia Yanru waited in place was not because she was frightened, but because she analyzed intuitively, Hu Tian's words were still echoing in her ears just now, the plants they came all the way have become extinct, and the soil contains unknown toxins, which shows that the threat in front of this is not smaller than that of this group of poisonous insects.
"Prepare for battle." Xia Yanru ordered coldly, and she had already taken out the tooth knife and held it in her hand.
"Don't you run?" Hu Tian frowned and disagreed.
"I can't run away." Xia Yanru shook her head.
I saw that as soon as her words fell, several swarms of insects really poured out from other directions.
Hu Tian was suddenly dumbfounded, "You, how did you know that there was still a swarm?" ”
"You said it." Xia Yanru looked at him and said lightly.
"Me?" Hu Tian was even more puzzled, if he could know this, he still had to ask her just now?
Xia Yanru didn't bother to explain, and there wasn't much time for her to explain at the moment, those insect swarms quickly moved in front of everyone's eyes, and a fierce battle was inevitable.
"Yes, I hope the patriarch can make it convenient, and we can try our best to meet whatever conditions are needed." Hu Tian said sincerely, and he also knew that there was no need to be careful when talking to the head of such a clan.
The patriarch was silent for a moment after hearing this, then turned his head and nodded to a middle-aged man who was going to negotiate with the other party on his behalf.
When they came, they took into account this exchange of conditions, so Xia Yanru and his party prepared a lot of materials and money tickets, and Miao Zhai did not intend to stop it, after all, with the first release, this second time is naturally not difficult, but in the process of negotiation, the middle-aged man has a lion's mouth.
Xia Yanru, who had been silent, listened to Hu Tian's translation and felt helpless. She is not good at negotiating, but she also knows that she will accept it when she sees it, but it is obvious that the representative of Miao Village on the other side does not have this awareness.
In the end, in order not to delay the trip, Xia Yanru said directly and strongly, "There are so many things, if you are willing, we will make a deal, if you are unwilling, we don't mind a detour, but before that, I will also truthfully report the situation to the above." ”
I probably didn't expect Xia Yanru to be so horizontal, the middle-aged man was slightly stunned after listening to Hu Tian's relay, but he also saw that there was no way to make any more benefits from this negotiation, so he immediately walked up to the patriarch and bent down and muttered quietly.
After a short while, I saw the patriarch nod slightly at the middle-aged man, and then the man got up and returned to the opposite side of Hu Tian, "No problem, then it's decided, you leave your things, and I'll let people take you to the back mountain." ”
Hu Tian smiled and politely greeted the other party, and then gave Xia Yanru a gesture to finish the matter, and then began to ask his teammates to prepare things according to the transaction.
"Miss Xia isn't worried about them refusing?" While waiting for his teammates to prepare to trade items, Hu Tian leaned next to Xia Yanru and asked in a low voice.
"I won't refuse." Xia Yanru replied coldly, the items traded were rich enough, and for Miao Zhai, there was no reason to refuse.
The middle-aged man had been refusing to let go before, just because he wanted to get more benefits, just because the information given by the golden-eyed Tang showed that the last time Tang Ershao traded with Miao Zhai, he didn't give so many things.
"Yes." Hu Tian couldn't help laughing and said, in fact, he could continue to compress the conditions of the negotiation, but he didn't expect Xia Yanru to suddenly intervene, but he was not unhappy, after all, Xia Yanru was the real team leader.
There is nothing special about the back mountain of Miao Village, even the so-called trail, in fact, if you don't observe carefully, it is easy to be ignored, which shows that the people of this Miao Village usually rarely go to the back mountain, let alone enter the deep mountain through the trail of the back mountain.
Xia Yanru led the team into this path without hesitation, the trees on both sides were sparse at first, and after walking for more than ten minutes, not only the two sides, but almost all of them were lush forests.
"It is estimated that no one has walked this road since Tang Ershao and the others left." Hu Tian felt that it was a little difficult to walk, not only were there many weeds under his feet, but they were all entrenched on the road and were very stumbling.
