Chapter 13 Huomulberry
Smack!
There were two more gas explosions, and two spears burst straight out towards the undead fire snake.
The distorted body of the fire mulberry snake suddenly stopped, its prismatic head stood up, and there was a mark like a flame on the center of the forehead and eyebrows. The small flames shimmered crimson and shone brightly.
Flames suddenly erupted from the mouth of the fire snake, forming a line of fire, like a musket slamming straight into the bone spear that burst out from the front.
The musket and the bone spear collided violently, and the flames suddenly exploded!
The body of the bone spear instantly blackened and broke in response to the sound, and the bone spear that had lost its strength broke into two pieces and fell to the ground.
The bone spear that followed was still straight towards the fire snake.
The fire snake seemed to have a spiritual wisdom and let out a burst of roars.
Yikes!
The bone spear pierced through its seven inches.
The fiery snake was not dead, but its neighing grew weaker and weaker until it disappeared and was silent.
Zhang Zhang said for the first time since leaving the village: "Only accept the meat of the five-meter fire mulberry snake, and don't want the two ordinary fire mulberry snakes." ”
It was still the young man who had the meat on his back before, took out a peculiar short knife, and quickly put away the fire mulberry snake meat after simply handling it.
The two old hunters at the front walked to the back of the line, and replaced the two older hunters to clear the way.
At this time, Zhang Libi made a gesture of bending to the right, and the team of twenty-one people immediately changed directions and continued to walk towards the Qingshui Plain.
Half an hour later, everyone who had never encountered the Fire Mulberry Snake again also left the Fire Mulberry Forest smoothly.
A big mountain appeared in front of Godan's eyes, and this mountain was not too tall and precipitous. There is a flat path between the passes, which is overgrown with weeds and a few sparse trees.
From his point of view, the trees were crooked, with some unknown fruits growing on them, bright red in color, and they looked a bit like apples from previous lives.
When everyone saw this mountain pass, they seemed to relax a lot, and they were no longer as cautious as before.
The old hunter in the back jumped up and picked a fruit, wiped it with the placket of his hand, and said vaguely while taking a big bite: "Dog, let me tell you not to look at these trees that grow ugly, but the fruit is delicious." ”
The same is true for the others, and the dogs also jumped up and picked one. The juice is full after a bite, and the sweet and sour taste stimulates the taste of the dog's eggs.
After eating a bright red fruit, Zhang Zhang casually threw the core out of his hand and said: "Dog, some of the things in this wild can be eaten, and some of them will die if they are eaten, so don't try them easily when you see something you don't know." ”
The dog nodded his head to indicate that he understood.
"Was this path already there? Dogan asked curiously.
Zhang Muzhi smiled: "I also asked this question when I first came." How could it have existed in the first place, this is the path that our ancestors stepped on one foot at a time, so we can go smoothly. ”
Goudan later asked why everyone in the Fire Mulberry Forest was so vigilant and relaxed instead.
Zhang Muzhi told him that the Fire Mulberry Forest is the territory of the Fire Mulberry Snake, and no one knows how many Fire Mulberry Snakes live in it, but he only knows that once it is surrounded, it can basically be declared dead, so everyone is so cautious. And this mountain, because there are no good things, there are no monsters living here, and there is only a group of monkeys on this mountain, so it is not dangerous.
Sure enough, there was no danger in this mountain, and I didn't encounter a living creature halfway up the mountain, let alone a demon beast.
Dog Dan stood on the mountainside and looked back, the fire mulberry trees below were connected, and the yellowed mulberry leaves were connected together like a sea of fire.
Although the scenery is beautiful, Goudan still did not stay too long, and continued to climb the mountain, and the woods above the mountainside are even more lush, almost every five steps there is a tree.
Squeak, squeak, squeak!
The sound of squeaking in the tranquil mountain forest is clear to your ears.
"It's this bunch of cheap monkeys again!" Zhang Muzhi said in a low voice.
As if seeing the confusion in the dog's eyes, Zhang Muzhi explained: "It is this group of monkeys who occupy this mountain, because there are almost no demon beasts on this mountain, and there are many wild fruits, so this mountain has become their paradise." As soon as these monkeys see us, they like to follow us all the time, and they can't say that they will attract some powerful monsters, so I said they are cheap, and I tell you that you don't have to hesitate to fight directly when you see this group of monkeys. ”
Each of the twenty members of the hunting party drew a spear from behind his back and threw a projectile with his arm back.
The sound of twenty spears breaking through the air was like a rain of small arrows falling on the monkeys.
The dog also wanted to throw a try, but the tension didn't allow him to make a move, so he had to give up.
Arrow-like spears were thrown through, piercing eight monkeys, but only three were killed. The remaining thirty or so monkeys scattered and fled, and although these monkeys were cheap, they were really unable to escape as fast as they could.
After picking up the bone gun, Zhang Zhang waved his hand and continued to move forward.
"Is that all the monkeys?" asked Dogdan.
"How is it possible, there are tens of thousands of monkeys on this mountain, to say the least. Zhang Muzhi gritted his teeth and said.
It seems that he has an unspeakable story with these monkeys.
These mountains are connected and must be passed through to reach the Shimizu Plain. It took half a day, and everyone was finally about to get out of this mountain range.
"Fix it in place!" Zhang Zhang said.
Dog Dan sat cross-legged on a boulder, opened his baggage and took out the leather water bladder that Daddy had prepared for himself.
Knock knock!
After some cow drinking, he wiped his lips, put away the water bladder, took out a slightly stiff bun, and then took out a sausage-sized piece of jerky and began to eat.
After walking for most of the day, there was hardly any rest, and everyone was hungry, so they took out the dry food they had prepared one by one to replenish their strength.
At this time, Zhang Muzhi, who was sitting next to the dog, said: "When hunting, try to keep some water and food, so that you can maintain your physical strength." No one can say for sure if there will be an accident, and sometimes you may be stuck in a certain place, so food and water are very important. Brother Li said that he was once trapped in a cave by a second-order black tiger for more than half a month, but fortunately he didn't waste much food and water, and finally escaped by luck. ”
"Mmmm, thank you Uncle Mu for reminding me, I understand. The dog broke half of the steamed bun jerky and put it back into the baggage.
The tension realm is the highest, and his consumption is naturally higher, and after eating two pieces of jerky the size of pig's trotters, he is barely half full and puts away the dry food.
He looked up at the sky, looked at the sun that was about to set, and said, "Second and fourth, you go to that place to see if it's still safe." ”
The second and fourth are both old hunters and have already entered the early stage of physical training, after hearing Zhang Li's shout, the two got up at the same time without the slightest hesitation, and walked down a road that was not a road to the right.
After more than ten minutes, the two walked back along the road that was not a road.
"Brother Li, the stone that was put down last time is still there. ”
When Zhang Zhang heard the answer, he immediately clapped his hands: "Let's go." ”
Goudan and Zhang Muzhi finished cleaning up and put the burden on their waists again, and the two of them still stood in the middle of the crowd and walked down the road that was not a road.
Not long after, the group reached a steep mountainside.
Zhang Li removed the three spears and the ring-edged knife from his back and walked to the large stone on the mountain wall.
He stretched out his hands and arms around the stone, and clasped his fingers tightly around the crack in the stone.
Zhang Zhang shouted: "Drink!"
I saw that the green tendons of his arms were bursting out, like a swimming dragon spreading to his hands, full of power.
Thundered!
The massive boulder, which was three meters high and five meters wide, slowly moved to the left. Until a one-man high passage appeared, Zhang Li gasped and let go of the stone and got up.
The dog looked inside, and a cave of about 200 square meters appeared in front of him.
"Third child, you take a few people to pick up some firewood and come back. Zhang Zhang said.
The third child chose seven experienced old hunters and turned to leave.
"Tonight, just spend the night here. Do you bring thick clothes, dogs? It's cold at night in the wild. Zhang Zhang asked.
"Liber, I brought it. Dogan replied.
Zhang Zhang nodded, took out the cortical water bladder and took a big sip.
Autumn nights are not cool in the wilderness, and there is a kind of coolness that has just entered the bones, and it is particularly cold.
The third child and the others had already picked up the dry firewood, and everyone entered the cave, and the third child skillfully piled up the dry firewood and took out two flints from the baggage.
A bonfire was lit in the deep cave, bringing a touch of warmth to everyone.
Zhang Zhang got up and asked for bone meal from Zhang Muzhi, and sprinkled a layer of bone meal on the periphery of the cave, this is to prevent the cave from waking up the next day and being surrounded by demon beasts.
After sprinkling bone meal, he got up and re-plugged the hole with the stones, leaving only a gap so that the air could not circulate.
Dogan took out the thick clothes that his father had prepared for him from his baggage and put them on his body.
"Dog, the most important thing in the wild night is to have a safe place to rest, and it is best to find a cave if there is a safe cave. If you don't have a cave, look for tall trees. If there are no tall trees, find an open plain place, at least to make it easier to escape. Zhang Li suddenly spoke.
"Thank you, Liber. Dogan replied.
"Liber, didn't you say that there were dangers in the wilderness? ”
"Hehe, the wilderness is indeed full of dangers. This time, it happened that there was a shortage of medicinal herbs in the village, and it was necessary to go to the Qingshui Plain to pick medicinal herbs. Medicinal herbs can be said to be the most important material in the village, and the road to get here has been cleaned countless times by the ancestors, so it is not so dangerous. This road is only dangerous in the fire mulberry forest, but if you are careful, you can still get through it safely. If you want to go the other way, it is really a possibility of death if you are not careful. ”
"Oh, I see. Goudan suddenly realized that there was a familiar road to the destination this time, so he felt that it was not so dangerous.
