Chapter 085: Fear of Fire

I have never seen such a strange animal, and I don't know what species it belongs to, and it is difficult to judge according to the description of the genera and species of the Phylum family in biology, which is estimated to be the top scientist in the world.

Let's say it's a bird, one is covered with feathers and meets the basic characteristics, and the other is huge and has blood, both of which are vertebrate characteristics, and it is almost impossible if it is an insect. But how to explain the spider legs under the body and the spider silk spitting out?

In this situation, I naturally have no time to explore what it is, and I have the right to call it a nondescript name: spider.

Being stared at head-on by the spider birds, I realized that I had been in the tree for too long and had exposed my target.

Almost instantly, the giant flapped its wings, and countless gray-white scales rolled down towards me like a rain.

"I'll go!" Because I didn't know if this thing was poisonous, I didn't dare to underestimate it, so I saw the way back, rolled over, and threw myself directly into the dense forest branches.

Although the thing was huge, it flew in the sky after all, and it couldn't penetrate the branches and leaves for a while, so I seized the opportunity to jump down the tree.

This place is full of silver cocoons, and who knows how many moths will pounce out in a moment. I don't have support, so I won't be stupid enough to rush over and fight it, as the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat four hands, people don't just have hands, but also wings.

I don't know if it was because of the recent rain, and as soon as I landed, I stepped on my feet full of mud and almost fell. But he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and when he looked up at the movement of the thing, it was really so impenetrable that the canopy of the tree stumbled his hands and feet, and he couldn't get close to the ground for a while.

I ran as soon as I pulled my legs, picking up the narrow and dense fork in the road. The thing kept following me above my head without letting up. I knew in my heart that there was no way to escape like this, and I had to think of a way to get out, and the key was to join up with the big army.

It's just that when I first arrived at Xianren Peak, I couldn't even discern the direction at the moment, and it was even more difficult to break through from here than to grab a bun from a dog's mouth.

In my eagerness, I remembered that Ciwang had said that the goal of our trip was to climb the mountain ropeway, and people and goods had to go through the ropeway in order to reach the opposite bank as quickly as possible. At that time, he also said that our location was only a few hundred meters away from the ropeway, and I was pulled up the cliff by the silk for only ten minutes, as long as I could touch the main road and go all the way down the mountain, I would definitely be able to find the whereabouts of the caravan.

After making up my mind, I no longer hesitated, puffed up my breath, and prepared to rush out of the woods in search of life. Silver powder kept falling from the air, indicating that the spider was still staring. I really don't understand how such a huge creature can survive here.

The water village is only half a day's journey away from here, and there are often travelers borrowing the road from the mountain, just see their larvae on the mountain road to prey on the silver cocoon as a cage, the whole process is skilled and old, it is their ancestors in the process of evolution to accumulate the predatory instinct, by no means a day's work. With such a huge size, what do they usually feed on, and why have the nearby residents, the merchants of the False Dao, never been attacked?

I always felt that the attack on the caravan was unreasonable, but for a while, my mind was too confused, and I was too busy running for my life, I really couldn't think of a reason.

At this moment, a crackling sound came from above my head, and when I looked at it, good fellow, it turned out that there was also a silver cocoon wrapped around the end of the tree here, and it was crumbling at the moment, but I was afraid that another spider bird would break out of the chrysalis.

I saw that this place was not suitable for a long time, and I didn't think about turning around and preparing to leave, but I saw a burst of fire suddenly burning at the bottom of the silver cocoon, and the strange sound just now was made when the silver filament was burning. When I saw the strange situation, I was puzzled, and I did not rush to flee, but quickly looked around, and picked up a rotten branch from the ground and stabbed it at the silver cocoon of the fire.

After poking it, I actually heard someone shouting pain inside. I am glad that this brother has not yet turned into a chrysalis. He jerked at it a few more times, trying to get it off the tree as soon as possible. I didn't want the flames to burn more and more, I was roasted under the tree and my eyes hurt, and if I didn't hurry up, it was estimated that the person inside would not be eaten by the strange birds, and he would be buried in the fire.

The people inside also seemed to be suffering greatly, and the silver cocoon that was bubbling with fire was like a big red lantern, constantly shaking.

Soon under the fire and shaking, the bottom of the silver cocoon cracked a scorched black path, and before I could see who the person who fell was clear, I felt a weight on the top of my head, and my whole body was crushed to the ground with my back down. It hit me so hard that my spine was about to break, and I screamed in pain.

"Lin Kun?" The person I was holding on was Ren Yonghai, his face was black and gray, and the clothes on his body were almost baked.

"Old Ren, you're not dead?"

Ren Yonghai escaped death, he glanced at the broken cocoon burning at the end of the tree, and said with a smile: "I saw that after you were caught, I also followed your example and pulled the silver wire." No, it's trapped. He pointed to his neck, which was full of blood, red and swollen, "If it weren't for the lighter we had with us, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to speak by now." ”

I saw that in addition to the marks of being bitten, there were several blisters on the exposed skin on his body, especially on his arms, the skin and flesh were red, and if he was not disinfected and bandaged in time, it was likely to leave hidden dangers.

At this time, because of the fierce fire, the cocoon finally couldn't hang up, and the whole fell down. I hurriedly pulled Ren Yonghai aside.

"Extinguish the fire." I took off my coat and rushed forward. This place is full of flammable materials, and a random spark can cause a forest fire, which must be extinguished now.

Ren Yonghai also understood the stakes, and immediately ran up, first throwing away the dead branches and rotten leaves on the ground, and then violently trampling the fire cocoon with his feet. The two of us were busy for a long time, and finally extinguished the burning silver cocoon.

Ren Yonghai gasped, looked at the wound, and said to me, "This place is too dangerous. I think it's a worm nest, so let's go. I don't know what's going on with the caravan. ”

"Go out of the woods and look for the main road, if there is a ropeway in this kind of place, it must not be possible to hide in the dense forest. It should be a relatively open place, and then there should be a strong foundation stone to lay the foundation. ”

"Our current location is roughly two-thirds of the way to Immortal Peak. They said that the ropeway was on the mountainside, and if we could go back to the winding mountain road when we came, the speed would be faster. ”

I said don't rush to leave yet, and take care of the wound a little. Ren Yonghai also reminded me to be careful of my injuries, how did he know that I was already invincible, I wanted to see how poisonous this strange bird was, and whether it could compete with the brocade scale beetle.

What do I want, just when I was worried about Ren Yonghai's injury, I saw two lights not far behind me, and I was surprised to find that it was Xu Yaxian and Caiyun who came.

At this time, I didn't care about how blessed these two girls were, so they arrived here intact, and immediately asked Xu Yaxian to treat Ren Yonghai's wounds, Xu Yaxian's backpack had water, alcohol and gauze, just in case of emergency.

Xu Yaxian picked up all the tattered cloths on Ren Yonghai's body, and then washed his wound with water, and did not dare to wipe the alcohol directly, only roughly cleaned up the parts that touched the dirt at some edges.

I made a simple torch out of torn clothes and alcohol, and then set out on my way to find the large army.

Along the way, Ren Yonghai and I told Xu Yaxian and Caiyun about the spider bird, and we both felt incredible.

"Is it possible, you say, that it came out of nowhere?" Ren Yonghai asked.

"Unlikely." I shook my head.

"I think so too, but what do they do for a living? You've seen today's scene, it's definitely a carnivorous insect...... No, I'm not sure if it's an insect or not. Ren Yonghai felt the same way as me, "Perhaps, it's a bird." ”

When Ren Yonghai said this, it reminded me. I shushed and looked up to find the strange bird that had been following me. After turning around, there was no trace in the sky. It's strange, just now it was still following me all the way, why did it disappear after Xu Yaxian and Caiyun came.

I looked at Ren Yonghai, who was wrapped in gauze on his arm at the moment, how embarrassed and embarrassed he was, not like he had any secret recipe for repelling insects.

When Xu Yaxian saw me looking at the sky, she also stopped and asked me what was going on. I told her about the disappearance of the spider bird, Xu Yaxian pondered for a while, and said, "Do you think there is such a possibility, it is not afraid of people, but fire?" ”

Hearing Xu Yaxian say this, I suddenly realized: "Very possible!" When I was putting out the fire just now, I really didn't see the powder drifting down again, which means that it was no longer at the scene. Since then, we've been fighting fires, at least until now, and we haven't seen any of it. In my opinion, this strange bird is afraid of fire and has long fled away. ”

Soon, we found the traces of the winding mountain road, and Ren Yonghai pointed to the firelight in front of him and shouted: "There are people there." ”

I saw that it was indeed a bonfire standing among the cliffs, and I knew that it was Uncle Ciwang and they were below, so I immediately ran towards the mountain path.

In a few moments, the caravan was in my sight. The people over there also clearly felt the fire in the mountain forest. Qiangba was the first to see us, and he jumped up excitedly and waved vigorously at us.

The people in the team showed surprised expressions when they saw us coming down from the mountain. Tenzin, who had been sitting by the fire, drew his double-barreled shotgun as soon as he heard the movement.

I was afraid that he would go off the beaten path, and shouted, "It's us." ”

Deyang Ram and Uncle Ciwang stood up at the same time and looked over to us. Qiangba, this kid walked up quickly, with a black face, I don't know whether to cry or laugh, hugged me and said, "You guys are really scared to death, why are you walking and disappearing?" ”

I just said that we are not in the way, and we will see Uncle Ciwang first. Qiangba nodded hurriedly and said yes, and pulled me to walk quickly towards the campfire camp in the mountain clearing.

When I walked in, I found that there were a few fewer people in the team, and several guys looked at me with frightened eyes, as if they had seen a ghost.

I didn't ask too much, I walked straight up to Uncle Ciwang and said to him, "I have figured out the disappearance." It is a strange bird in the mountains that is preying, they use tough silk as bait to stick to people's shoulders, and when people are unprepared, they will carry it up the mountain, and we almost died in the cocoon just now. It's too dangerous here, so it's better to get out early. ”
