Chapter Twenty-Six: The Treasures of the Forest

I heard a rumbling sound overhead.

Zheng Jing looked around and decided to build a shelter here to protect him from the wind and rain.

Thanks to the wilderness survival experts, if he hadn't watched their survival shows, he wouldn't have built a shelter.

As a primeval forest, trees are the least lacking.

In order to set up the shelter before the heavy rain fell, he quickly sorted out a clearing around it.

Gather some branches and use them as firewood.

Use a knife to cut down a few arm-thick trees, and then clean the branches on them.

After several back and forths, he finally got what he needed.

Without a break, he plunged the sticks into the ground, and when they were firm, he tied a stick horizontally with vines between the main trunks, so that the skeleton of the shelter was built.

He then built a roof out of sticks and vines, and put palm fronds on top of it to protect it from the rain.

Once the palm fronds are put on it, the shelter is complete.

After the shelter was completed, he found a lot of branches around and stacked them in the shelter.

He didn't know how heavy the rain was and how long it was falling, so he looked for a lot of branches and leaves.

The leaves he was going to lay on the ground, and then he put a sleeping mat on top of the leaves.

He tossed back and forth several times, and finally managed to get enough branches.

"Boom! Whoa!! ”

With a thunderclap, the heavy rain that had been accumulated for a long time finally fell unsupportively.

Hearing the sound of rain falling on the palm leaves, Zheng Jing unhurriedly took out some meat from the space and ate it.

Now that it's raining, the smell of food can't be transmitted, so he can eat it with confidence.

After eating his food, he took out the sleeping mat and placed it on the leaves inside the shelter.

Light the fire, lie on the sleeping mat and look at your phone comfortably.

Although he doesn't have an internet connection, he has downloaded a lot of novels on his mobile phone, which is just right for him to read at this time.

…………

As night fell, Zheng Jing's dark color was a little dignified.

The rain was still pouring and it had been raining for more than four hours.

In some low-lying places, rainwater has accumulated.

Luckily, he chose the highest place nearby to build his shelter.

I looked at the branches stored on the side, and I didn't know if it was enough.

If he didn't have enough, he would have to brave the rain to pick up some and bring them back.

It wasn't until nine o'clock in the evening that the heavy rain finally subsided a little, and Zheng Jing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the rain decrease.

If it was still so big, he really wouldn't be going to sleep tonight.

……………

The next morning, Zheng Jing woke up early.

Looking at the drizzling rain, he sighed, and he couldn't imagine that it was still raining all night.

Looking at the wet ground, he could feel how slippery the ground was now.

I ate something to fill my stomach, and I didn't know what to do for a while.

I had to lie on the sleeping mat and wait for the rain to stop.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the drizzling rain suddenly became heavier, and he thought that today would be delayed for another day, but who knew that the heavy rain suddenly stopped at about ten o'clock.

Coming out of the shelter, he took a deep breath as he looked at the environment in front of him.

Looking up, he saw that the clouds had dispersed, the sun was exposed, and it seemed that the rain had shifted.

He went back to the shelter to pack up his things and doused the fire with standing water from the palm leaves.

I opened the map and looked at it, and found that it was very close to the area where the treasure was.

Should be able to get there today.

……………

"Smack!"

slapped a locust on his neck, and he took out the wind oil essence and dripped it on his neck.

As the rain passed, the grasshoppers and some blood-sucking bugs also became active.

Grasshoppers, in particular, are so small and small that they cannot be found at all when they are hidden in the leaves.

Especially when he walked through the bushes, the locusts on his body were particularly terrifying.

Luckily, the clothes he wore covered his skin, only his neck leaked out.

Looking at the environment in front of him, he opened the map and looked at it, and found that he had entered the area where the treasure was.

It's finally here.

He looked around, wondering if it was more nutritious, and the trees here grew very tall.

Even the vines grew thicker than anywhere else.

He took a look at the knife and saw that the blades were a little curled.

You can see how harsh the environment is here.

The vines are overgrown, and the aerial roots that fall from the canopy can be touched if you are not careful.

In particular, the roots of the trees that protruded from the ground made him even more unguarded, and he didn't know how many times he had tripped over the roots when he came here from the edge of the forest.

There are so many fallen leaves that they cover the exposed roots, and you can't see them at all.

So, if he's not careful, he'll trip over these roots.

He changed to a mountain opener and walked forward, he didn't know where the treasure was, so he could only continue to walk forward.

Seeing the traces left by the snake next to him, he didn't take it seriously and continued to walk forward.

Ever since it rained, he would occasionally see animal traces on the ground.

After walking for some reason, he suddenly heard a commotion in front of him.

When I walked over, it turned out to be a small waterfall, which was supposed to be the cause of the rain yesterday, and the water looked muddy.

Seeing that there was nowhere to go around, he came to the waterfall and found a branch around it to test the depth.

After seeing that the waterfall was only ankle-deep, he waded straight over.

Leaving the waterfall, I opened the map and looked at it, but I didn't find any red spots of light.

It seems that the location of the treasure is still ahead.

After looking at the time, he decided to eat here first before walking.

Sitting on a rock, he looked around vigilantly and found that there was no danger, so he put down the mountain knife in his hand.

After eating in three or two bites, he continued to walk forward with the mountain opening knife.

In five hours, it will be dark, and if he can't find the treasure today, he doesn't know what will happen to the car parked in front of the hotel.

He now regrets why he didn't add two more days.

If it hadn't been for the rain yesterday, maybe he would be going back by now.

Just as he was thinking about the boss, the boss was also thinking about him.

In Fengshali, the proprietress was a little anxious to see that Zheng Jing had not come back yet.

Thinking of the clothes he wore when he left the day before yesterday, he looked like he had gone into the mountains.

Thinking of the heavy rain yesterday, she picked up the phone and was about to call the police.

But as soon as she saw the sun outside, she put down the phone and decided to wait a day.

If she doesn't come back tomorrow, she'll call the police.

Back in the forest, Zheng Jing was clearing the branches and vines with a mountain opening knife.

I didn't know that the proprietress almost called the police when she saw that he didn't come back.

After walking for some reason, he noticed that the terrain around him had changed.

He found that he was now going down.

From the surrounding trees and the stagnant water on the ground, it was clear that he was indeed going down.

Although it was a downhill slope, Zheng Jing didn't care, he wanted to find the treasure quickly now, but unfortunately, the red light spot still didn't appear.

After drinking some water, he didn't care about resting, and continued to walk forward with the mountain opening knife.

He hadn't gone far when he suddenly heard a terrifying roar in front of him.

This roar is terrifying, I don't know what animal screamed out.

He stopped, and his hand holding the mountain knife couldn't help but tighten.

Although the sound was far away from him, he was not sure that it smelled his scent before calling out.

Thinking that the monster was ahead, he opened the map to see if he could get around.

But when he opened the map, he suddenly found a red point of light running towards him.
