Chapter 18: The Devil in the Water
Although Xiaolong and Erniu's knife skills are very skilled, the bushes are too miscellaneous, and it is still a little slow to cut now, and they have to prevent their clothes from being scratched by thorns.
In addition, it had just rained heavily yesterday, and the dew on the leaves had not yet completely dried, so it had only been an hour of walking, and everyone's clothes had already penetrated, which greatly reduced the speed of travel.
After persevering like this for another hour, the four of them finally walked out of the weedy forest without a dirt road, turned around and looked at the small passage cut all the way behind them, Chen Anran couldn't help but sigh that the adventure was not so easy.
"Let's sit down and rest for ten minutes." The little dragon who led the way took off his coat, wrung out the water stains on his clothes, and covered the canopy of the tree and dried it.
Chen Anran also took off his clothes and twisted them, and before he could put them on the tree to dry, he suddenly saw He Jiaxing's back, which seemed to be lying on his stomach with a few small black things.
"Jiaxing, don't move yet." Chen Anran hurriedly called He Jiaxing, who was about to go up the tree, and took out the dagger on his waist and walked over.
He Jiaxing, who looked puzzled, turned his head to look, and happened to see Chen Anran running over with a dagger, which frightened him, and he lifted his feet and prepared to run.
"Don't move! You have something behind your back. Chen Anran stopped He Jiaxing, took a closer look, and then saw what was lying on his back.
That black whirring thing turned out to be a leech! Four chubby leeches were lying on his back, greedily sucking blood.
Seeing that something was not right, He Jiaxing also became nervous, and turned his head desperately to look over. "What's there?"
"It's a small problem, it's just a leech." Chen Anran took out a lighter from his pocket and scalded it against the leech's fat body.
In the case of being bitten by a leech, you must not pull it hard or deadly, even if you pull it off, its mouthparts are likely to remain in your flesh, which is even more troublesome.
You can use fire or sprinkle salt to let it loosen itself.
Soon all four black leeches fell, He Jiaxing glanced at them with disdain, and then trampled them to pieces.
"Everyone, be careful, there's more to it than that." The little dragon on the side opened his mouth to remind.
Chen Anran took a box of yellow powder from his backpack and sprinkled it on the bite marks left by the leech to prevent the wound from becoming inflamed and infected.
"Crawling four leeches on your back, don't you feel it at all?" Chen Anran said and gave a thumbs up.
After a short rest, the four of them put on their clothes again and set off again.
The coat that had been left to dry for more than ten minutes was of no use at all, and it was still as wet as before.
After walking for another hour, the group came to a waterhole and decided to eat something before heading out on the road.
Chen Anran brought a few dry stones, and several people rested on the stones for a while, and then took out the food they brought and ate them.
"Xiaolong, we've been walking all morning, where are we now?" Chen Anran asked while eating bread.
"Where is this?" Xiaolong took a sip of water and said, "This is the outermost part of the primeval forest, and ordinary tourists can play it. ”
"Where we're going, but in the deepest part of the forest, there's a lot of danger."
Chen Anran nodded, the bread in his hand had not yet been eaten, and suddenly thought of another very important thing.
He swallowed the whole bread in one gulp, and as he chewed, he took out the map wrapped in yellow paper from his backpack. "Now that you know the way, isn't this map useless?"
"Maps? What map? Xiaolong put down the compressed biscuit in his hand and got up to take the map that was handed to him.
"This ......! Where did you get this map from? Xiaolong asked as he looked at the map in surprise.
At this time, it was not clear to explain, and Chen Anran said perfunctorily. "You don't care about the source, is this map useless now?"
"On the contrary, this map is a very important thing!" The dragon's eyes were almost on the map. "According to my recollection of the environmental range outside the tomb, combined with the scope structure of this map, this is likely to be the map in the ancient tomb!"
Looking at Xiaolong's excited expression, Chen Anran had no choice but to reply with a "Huh? ”
"Great! Originally, we were still in a passive state. Xiaolong carefully folded the map: "Now that we have the map in the tomb, we can take the initiative!" ”
After taking the map and putting it away, Chen Anran didn't know how to tell Xiaolong, if nothing happened to this thing, it might be a copy for everyone! "Forehead ......"
"Then you're rejoicing too soon! If nothing else, everyone who comes here should have a copy, and it may be clearer than ours! ”
Hearing this, Xiaolong, who was originally very happy, lost his mood in an instant, and when he just wanted to ask something more, He Jiaxing, who had been silent, interrupted him.
"Look at that pool, you always feel that there is something wrong......" Before the words landed, Xiaolong immediately grabbed He Jiaxing's finger and put it down. Look for death! Don't finger! ”
"What's wrong?" He Jiaxing, who looked puzzled, turned his head to look at Chen Anran.
"Why are you looking at me?" Chen Anran also looked puzzled, and for a moment, the three of them all looked at themselves, isn't there something wrong with the pool?
It's okay not to say this, but as soon as I said it, I felt that something was wrong, and I was chatting just now, and I didn't notice that there was yin in the waterhole next to me.
Chen Anran just wanted to take out the Love Crazy 18 scan, but suddenly thought that there were still Xiaolong and Erniu, so he had to condense his true qi in his eyes and look towards the water intently.
About ten seconds later, Chen Anran vaguely saw that there seemed to be a few black shadows in the water, and he couldn't see what it was.
"It can't be a ghost, right?" Chen Anran asked uncertainly.
"Well, it should be." Xiao Longye walked up and stood not far from the waterhole to observe. "So you can't point to it, the water ghost will find someone who points it as a stand-in."
Chen Anran, a mere water ghost, didn't care about it, and had no interest in going down to play. "Let's go, it's a waste of time to take care of it, just let it dangle in the water." Anyway, I didn't do anything, so I didn't need to deal with it.
Xiaolong also nodded in agreement, after all, more things are better than less things.
Just as Chen Anran and the others were packing up their things and preparing to set off again, He Jiaxing stood up with a dull gaze.
"What are you doing?" Chen Anran patted him on the shoulder: "Are you choking on eating?" ”
He Jiaxing didn't pay attention to him at all, staring at the green lake with blank eyes and slowly walked over.
"This is ghostly again?" Chen Anran was completely speechless, and he didn't know what kind of physique this guy was, why he was being fascinated by ghosts all day long.
"You deserve it! It's okay to point fingers at anything! ”
Chen Anran scolded, and rushed forward with an arrow to stop He Jiaxing, who was walking forward.
I don't know why, He Jiaxing's strength is surprisingly large at this minute, Chen Anran always feels like pulling a cow, seeing that it is useless to use brute force to pull hard, and he is afraid of hurting his body, Chen Anran has no choice but to let go of his hand and think again.
Taking advantage of the fact that He Jiaxing was still a little away from the waterhole, Chen Anran immediately opened his backpack and rummaged for something.
At the same time, Xiaolong and Erniu on the side also hurried over to help, and the two of them raised their hands in front of He Jiaxing.
"Found it!" Chen Anran was overjoyed and took out a rectangular piece of toffee.
"Big brother! When is this, you still eat sugar! Xiaolong was a little speechless.
The toffee is about 20 centimeters long, and Chen Anran tore open the wrapping paper and removed the icing wrapped in the toffee.
Only then could I see that the sugar coating used in the package turned out to be an edible rune paper!
"Open his mouth!" Chen Anran jumped behind several people, but it was too late to think that He Jiaxing jumped directly into the waterhole like crazy, but sank into the water and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
In an instant, Xiaolong and Erniu quickly jumped into the water and dived.
Seeing the two of them jumping into the water with knives, Chen Anran had to stand by the water and look carefully, it was not that he didn't want to save people together, although his ghost-catching skills were not ordinary, but his water nature was too ordinary.
If he jumped into the water recklessly, he was afraid that he would be unhelpful, so it was not too late to see what the situation was first.
By the way, you can also take a look at the skills of this Miao teenager Dalong.
Although Chen Anran had already looked very carefully, the water in the waterhole was too turbid, and the perspective of his eyes was really limited.
I could only roughly see two shadows trembling together with a few clouds of black gas.
Suddenly, several heads poked out of the middle of the water, and Chen Anran looked up to see that it was Xiaolong and Erniu who pulled He Jiaxing out of the water to take a breath.
"How?" As soon as Chen Anran's words reached his lips, the three of them were pulled down by something in the water.
"Something doesn't seem right! Fack! Chen Anran, who was very anxious in his heart, decided not to wait any longer.
"It has to be Young Master Ben himself!"
Chen Anran took out the M1 Ghost Broken Pistol from his backpack, then took a sharp breath and resolutely jumped into the water.
Fortunately, the products developed by the Ministry of Science and Technology are waterproof.
After jumping into the water, I originally thought that I could see a little clearly in the water, but I didn't expect that my vision in the water was even more blurry, and I could only barely see my five fingers.
"Huh! Pregnant! Chen Anran was shocked, although he couldn't see with his eyes, the camera could see it! The Super Perspective lens of the Crazy 18 will definitely be able to see it clearly, but it is carried in a backpack.
Thinking of this, Chen Anran hurriedly floated to the water, just showed up to breathe a breath of fresh air, and suddenly felt a hand grab his right ankle and was dragged directly underwater.
"!" Chen Anran scolded secretly in his heart, and he didn't care about him, he took the pistol and bowed up and fired two shots at the bottom of his feet.
After two shots, the hand holding his ankle still did not react, and he was still dragging Chen Anran to sink all the way.
There was no way, Chen Anran had no choice but to fire another shot in the opposite direction.
Fortunately, Chen Anran stopped falling after this shot, and it seems that this shot was hit.
When he was about to surface to change his breath, he suddenly saw a miserable white face when he looked up, which brought a very strong visual impact, even Chen Anran was frightened, and when he hurriedly raised the pistol and just wanted to pull the trigger, he was afraid of hurting three other people, so he had to give up the idea of shooting.
After all, there is no line of sight in the water, and you don't know if the other three are above you at this time.
