Chapter 31, Wu Miao

What else did Yang Qian want to ask, but Zhou Qiao didn't want him to ask more, so he changed the topic

"What kind of existence do you say the mysterious witch seedlings are? I don't know if I can find a way to help the fat brother solve the spell this time."

Zhou Qiao was a little worried

Yang Qian smiled and comforted: "It's okay, I believe that the fat brother has a big life and will not die easily!" ”

When Zhou Qiao heard him say this, his heart was also much more steady.

In the past few days, they have crossed mountains and mountains, trekked through mountains and rivers, and finally came to a deep mountain.

Zhou Qiao looked at the vast mountains and forests around him, surrounded by colorless and odorless "miasma", even if he and Yang Qian were carrying deworming drugs, they felt dizzy and weak at the moment.

"What a heavy poisonous mist! This place is really weird."

Yang Qian frowned, and after looking around, he found that not far away, a tree with a trunk as straight as a spear and a tree covered with small blue-green flowers caught his attention.

"Brother Zhou, look, that tree is very strange, I remember that I have seen this kind of tree before, it is called 'ghost tree', it only lives in extremely cold places, and it only blooms every summer, but why does this tree bloom in autumn and winter this year?"

Yang Qian took a closer look and was surprised to find that the branches and leaves of this tree had all turned black and purple, and there was a circle of pale golden spots on the edge of the leaves, which looked very weird.

"Hmmm! It's really weird, let's be careful, this place is too weird and dangerous," Zhou Qiao reminded.

Yang Gan nodded, and the two continued to walk forward, and suddenly Yang Gan stepped on something under his feet, and when he looked at it, it was a corpse!

He quickly turned the body over to examine it.

The corpse had dark green skin, wide eyes, black lips, and most of the skin was rotten and apparently dead for a long time, but judging from the clothes, it was supposed to be a man.

"Hey, there's a pattern on the chest of this corpse" Zhou Qiao leaned over to take a look.

Upon closer inspection, it was found that on the left side of the corpse's chest, there was a peculiar pattern drawn, like some kind of symbol, and like some kind of writing

"It's ......"

After Zhou Qiao saw this pattern, he suddenly showed a look of shock.

"This is the symbol of Wu Miao, he is a member of Wu Miao, but how did he die here, could it be that he was killed by these poisonous mist? Isn't that right, weird? ”

Zhou Qiao was a little puzzled, he squatted down and reached out to touch the pattern on the corpse.

He always felt that there was a little strange about this matter, but he couldn't tell what was strange

"Brother Zhou, you say...... Is there really a way to break the spell here? Yang Qian suddenly asked.

Zhou Qiao stood up, looked at the mountains in the distance, and sighed: "We have no choice but to try our luck"

Yang Qian nodded in agreement, and the two walked along the mountain road, and gradually, the poisonous fog became thicker.

"Oops, this miasma actually has the effect of corroding human flesh and skin, and if you go any further, I'm afraid even the bones will rot," Zhou Qiao shouted in a low voice

"Let's go back first, find a way to restrain ourselves and come back, this hellish place is too evil, we must leave immediately"

Yang Qian also felt a strong threat.

The two quickly turned back and returned the way they came.

But after walking for a while, Yang Gan suddenly stopped his pace, he looked to the right, and his face instantly became solemn.

"Brother Zhou, come with me" Yang Gan grabbed Zhou Qiao's arm and pulled him to run.

"Hey, wait a minute! Yang Qian, what are you doing? ”

Zhou Qiao was dragged by him and staggered a few steps, a little annoyed

But when he looked up, his face was shocked

Hundreds of meters in front of them, a dense swarm of ants, almost twice the size of ordinary ants, appeared and rushed towards them

"These are man-eating ants" Zhou Qiao exclaimed, his scalp tingling,

Man-eating ants are creatures that, despite their cute names, are actually very ferocious.

They like to devour the flesh and blood of living creatures the most, and they are not picky when eating people, as long as they have meat, so this is a very feared creature.

"Brother Zhou, let's retreat quickly! Otherwise it will be too late."

"But where to retreat, there are man-eating ants in front, and poisonous miasma that can corrode human skin and flesh in the back!"

Zhou Qiao shouted eagerly, they were now in a desperate situation.

"No, we can't give up, we're just a kick in the door after walking ninety-nine steps, we have to find a way to break through!" Zhou Qiao gritted his teeth and insisted.

By this time, the man-eating ants were already approaching them.

"Brother Zhou, look at it"

Yang Qian pointed to a boulder in front of him.

Zhou Qiao looked over, his eyes shrinking slightly.

He saw what appeared to be a cave behind the boulder, and there was a roar of wind coming from inside.

"The wind?"

He immediately remembered the place where the wizards in the witch and Miao tribe practiced according to legend, surrounded by poisonous mist,

They will use the wind to blow away miasma and poisonous mist.

"Brother Zhou, you see that there is a rumor, which proves that there is an exit nearby! These man-eating ants don't seem to dare to go near there."

Yang Qian patted Zhou Qiao's shoulder excitedly.

"But we can't get in at all, there are too many man-eating ants, once we get close, we will definitely be surrounded by them and torn apart" Zhou Qiao shook his head bitterly.

The toxicity of man-eating ants is extremely violent, and once contaminated, it will be in severe pain, and even rot, and in severe cases, it will die directly.

Yang Qian pondered for a moment, and then said, "I have a way."

Zhou Qiao's eyes widened and he looked at Yang Qian

"Hehe, since the man-eating ants are afraid of the wind and dare not approach that cave, let's lure the man-eating ants away and take the opportunity to rush in!"

Yang Qian smiled evilly, and the scene of himself entering the cave already appeared in his mind.

"This is a solution, but how to lead it away, you can't risk your life, right?" Zhou Qiao was a little hesitant.

"Hehe, let's hold our breath for a minute and introduce that group of man-eating ants into the poisonous miasma, the poisonous miasma is so lethal to people, it should also be useful to this group of man-eating ants," Yang Qian said slyly.

"It's easy for you to say, but those man-eating ants are very smart, will they be fooled?" Zhou Qiao retorted.

Yang Qian waved his hand, signaling that he didn't have to worry about it.

"I know there's a way, we can ......" Yang Qian leaned over to Zhou Qiao's ear and muttered quietly

"Is this really possible?" Zhou Qiao stared at Yang Qian in disbelief.

Yang Qian smiled, full of confidence: "Absolutely feasible!" ”

Zhou Qiao nodded and decided to give it a try.

Subsequently, the two began to prepare.

It turned out that Yang Gan's thought of the solution was that since this group of man-eating ants liked meat, they just had a few packets of yak jerky on them, and the dried meat was pickled and fragrant, Zhou Qiao and Yang Qian held their breath and threw jerky on the ground while running towards the poisonous miasma.

Sure enough, the man-eating ants couldn't resist the temptation of food, and drove them into the poisonous miasma area.

Seeing that the group of man-eating ants was chasing after them, they were stunned by the poisonous miasma, Zhou Qiao and Yang Qian looked at each other and smiled, and immediately ran wildly, bypassing the man-eating ants and running into the cave.

Entering the cave, Zhou Qiao breathed a long sigh of relief, and then he had the strength to look at the cave.

"I didn't expect this cave to be so hidden, we are really blessed with stars, hahaha!" Yang Qian couldn't help but praise himself.

The cave is empty and cold, but there are no traces of snakes, insects, rats and ants crawling in the cave, and it is rare and very clean.

"Yang Qian, be careful, I feel that this cave is a little strange," Zhou Qiao frowned and glanced around vigilantly.

Yang Qian was also cautious, slowly moving forward.

The deeper you go, the more space you have,

Yang Qian suddenly pointed to the front in surprise and said, "Hey, I seem to hear the sound of gurgling water."

Looking in the direction of his finger, hundreds of meters away from them, there was indeed a natural cold pool, from which the sound of rattling and flowing came from.

Zhou Qiao's eyes flickered, and he muttered to himself: "Could it be that this is where the Wu and Miao people live?" ”

Yang Qian was also excited, and the two of them quickened their pace and walked towards that side.

"Hmm...... There seem to be traces of human activity here," Yang Qian said with a sudden frown.

Zhou Qiao looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, there were still mottled footprints next to a stone wall.

"It seems that it was once inhabited"

The two of them continued to go deeper, and after passing through a narrow and dark corridor, they saw a world that suddenly opened up.

It is a vast valley with green grass and spirit birds running.

"It's so beautiful" Zhou Qiao couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at this beautiful scene.

It's almost like a wonderland, full of mysteries.

Zhou Qiao looked at a small wooden house in the middle of the valley, where cooking smoke rose and a faint smell of medicine wafted in the air, obviously a witch doctor lived there.

"It seems that this is where Wu Miao lives." Zhou Qiao judged.

He was about to go forward to investigate the situation, but found that next to the thatched hut in the middle of the valley, there was a black-robed man, who was staring at the two of them coldly, his eyes were dark and cold, which was intimidating.
