Chapter 502: The Thing of the Long Forest
When the convoy reached the river, I stopped and got out of the car to check it myself, because I saw that the water in the river was still relatively fast, and I was worried that the cavalry in front of me had made a mistake.
I tried it, and it was really a palm-deep water, and the bottom of the water was not mud and sand, but a substance similar to cement or concrete, which was paved very flat, and it felt like an artificially dug canal!
"What is this river called?" I asked the captain.
"My lord, this is a fine river."
「…… It's so wide, it's called a fine river?" I laughed.
"The width of this river is only three miles, which is very thin."
It seems that there is a lot of water in the underworld, and the river three miles wide is considered a small river.
Moving on, the cavalry and the cart entered the water, I could feel the impact of the water below on the wheels, but it did not affect the progress of the horses, and when I reached the middle of the river, I came down again to check, and this time I saw a lot more clearly, it really looked like an artificial canal, too peaceful, too straight.
Bingbing even wanted to slip his slippers to go down to the river to play, but the cavalry captain reminded him that there were carnivorous fish in the river, which were more ferocious and often attacked small animals that crossed the river, so it was still not recommended to go into the water.
"Then why don't they attack the horses?" Bingbing asked, puzzled, the horse had armor on its body, but not on the ladder.
"Because they will be trampled to death by war horses." The captain laughed.
Strange logic.
Bingbing was puzzled, but he didn't ask much, after the team crossed the river, there was the forest in front of the county government.
At first, the scenery was still very beautiful, but as the team went deeper, the light in the forest became darker and darker, and the trees became taller and denser, as if we had been shrunk, all of them were trees I had never seen, and there were no grass and flowers in the clearing between the forests, just a clearing, not even a single fallen leaf, which looked very strange, as if it had been sprinkled with some kind of chemical agent.
"This forest, also called—" I was halfway through my sentence, and I stopped, stretched out my hand, pointed diagonally forward, and asked in a low voice, "Captain, are there any beasts in this forest?"
"Yes, there are still a lot," the captain said, "not much, most of the beasts will avoid humans and will not take the initiative to attack, even if there is, adults don't have to worry, we people have all hunted in this long forest, enough experience, plus the fire guns of adults, just a few small beasts, not to be afraid."
The captain liked my gun very much, and always resisted it on his shoulder, unlike the others, which hung in the saddle.
"Be careful." I warned, because I saw a few breaths, moving quickly in this direction, a breath, but it wasn't a ghost, it looked weird, it felt like a wild boar or something.
After about a minute of advancement, I saw that the breath had reached a distance of less than two hundred meters from us, and I quickly reminded the captain again.
The captain looked over there, "No, is it wrong?"
"They stopped, and you give me the gun." I said solemnly, there are more of them than before, and I will stop and take a closer look, it must not be ordinary passing beasts, most of them are here in our spirit.
The captain handed me the gun, I climbed on the roof of the car, followed the direction of the breath, and looked over, but there were too many big trees in the forest, and I couldn't see where they were at all, and I didn't hurry, let everyone rest, pay attention to vigilance, I lit a cigarette myself, and always turned on the phase qi technique to observe. z.br>
After half a cigarette, the breath of the other party finally began to move, and instead of moving directly towards us, it split into two ways, outflanking us in a roundabout way, keeping a distance of about two hundred meters from us.
This is definitely not a beast!
I jumped out of the carriage and drew a diagram on the ground: "You see, where they are now, seven or eight on this side, on that side, a dozen, and on this side, five or six, on three sides, surrounded us, already, captain, do you think this is going to be a beast?"
When the captain looked at my picture, he became nervous, "It's not like this, I've never encountered this before."
"Could it be the enemy, ambushed here?" Bingbing asked.
I shook my head, their breath was different from the enemies I had seen before, what the hell was it......
