Chapter 183: The Jungle is Dangerous
"It's very weird here......"
The old man who smoked dry cigarettes spit out a puff of smoke ring, looked at the scene in front of him, and muttered.
"Nonsense, this is the place where immortals ascend, if it's not weird, it's a hell!" Someone on the side sneered.
"I mean the miasma." The old man who smoked a dry cigarette took another breath and said leisurely, "It stands to reason that in the dense forest, the miasma should spread to the surroundings, rather than rising straight into the sky. ”
"Hehe, the land where the immortals ascended, no matter what the vision, it is not surprising, compared to this, we should think more about how to get through this dense forest, right?"
Lin Chen walked up from the side and said with a slight smile.
"That's right, I don't know if Xiaoyou has a way to use this dense forest?" The old man asked rhetorically.
"According to the existing means, it is nothing more than the three categories of burning, felling, and breaking in, so I don't know what the door and Zhang Xianggong's side plan."
Lin Chen chuckled, and then turned his gaze to one place.
There, Zhang Zhiping and the old Taoist priest Yunmeng were discussing.
"The family has already tried it, even if it is a fire oil with good effect, it will not burn for long, it will be forcibly extinguished, the miasma and moisture in this dense forest are too strong, and the fire method will not work at all." The old Taoist priest said in a deep voice.
"If that's the case, the best way is to station, cut down the dense forest, and encroach step by step, so that the casualties can be minimized, but ......" Speaking of this, Zhang Zhiping couldn't help but be silent.
In this way, the loss is small, but the speed of advancement is too slow.
And whether it is the old emperor's side or the family's side, they are already breaking into it at any cost, if they are allowed to enter the land of immortal ascension first......
Zhang Zhiping lowered his eyes, remembering that he had just learned that the imperial court had opened the way with blood and food, completely disregarding the lives of the people, and the family was greedy and encroached on the fields......
"Break in." Zhang Zhiping stared straight at the old Taoist priest and said in a deep voice, "At this time, we have no other choice. ”
“…… OK. The old Taoist priest was silent for a moment, and finally nodded.
Then, the two directly gathered everyone to discuss the way to break through.
Most people want to hide behind the line to reduce the danger of clearing the road, keep themselves safe, and run away in time if something goes wrong.
But if everyone is hiding behind, then who will be at the head of the line.
Among them, there were also people who wanted to let the group of Taoist soldiers who came from the Dao Gate act as the front, wanting to weaken the power of the Dao Gate side, but the old Taoist priest refused without hesitation.
After a long period of "friendly" negotiations, and after more than a dozen heads in a row, everyone finally reached an agreement.
Medicine slaves, Taoist soldiers, some martial arts people, and people from Miao Jiang, wearing light armor, opened the way in front, and the rest followed behind.
As soon as I entered the dense forest, the surrounding light seemed to disappear in an instant, becoming extremely dim, and there was a faint strange smell spreading.
Click, click!
The sound of felling and trampling is very obvious here.
"This forest is too quiet...... someone in the crowd muttered, and others couldn't help but feel creepy.
It stands to reason that in the jungle, there should be all kinds of strange animals, birds, beasts, insects and fish, not to mention all of them, there should be a lot.
And these creatures usually make sounds, which are used to find mates, locate, contact, etc., so in a normal forest, there should be all kinds of chirps.
But the forest in front of him was extraordinarily quiet, except for them, there was no sound at all, and there was an indescribable infiltration.
"Ahhh
Just when everyone was cautious, suddenly there were screams behind them, completely breaking the silence of the forest.
What's the situation?!
The old Taoist priest in the team had a condensed face, and the whole jumped up, turned into an afterimage, and instantly came to the back of the team.
I saw more than a dozen people lying down, their hands weakly grabbing into the air, their faces seemed to be distorted by fright, and their whole bodies were trembling violently.
What's going on?
The old Taoist priest frowned, walked over directly, chose one person to feed an antidote pill, and asked, "What happened?" ”
However, what he didn't expect was that he didn't respond to the question, but stared at the sky, and then, with a violent tremor all over his body, died tragically on the spot!
Immediately afterwards, the people lying on the ground were silent one after another, or screamed, and finally, they all lost their breath with hideous faces!
"What's the situation? Didn't you already take the antidote pill, why did you still die? ”
"The lips and veins are not purple, it doesn't look like it's poisoned, but it looks like it's being killed alive!"
"How is this possible, there are obviously no wounds, and they are all old rivers and lakes, why should they be painfully killed?!"
When everyone saw this strange scene, their faces changed, and such a unique way of death made them very jealous.
The old Taoist priest's face also became very solemn, although he had been in and out of the dense forest many times, but relying on the protection of innate qi, he had never suffered this situation at all.
He opened the mouth of the deceased and observed the situation, only to find that the tongue in it had been bitten off hard!
"This, this...... Isn't it, there is a ghost upper body? ”
Seeing this scene, many people subconsciously took a step back, and in the crowd, a slightly trembling voice came out.
"What are you kidding, how can there be ...... in this world" Someone subconsciously wanted to refute, but suddenly remembered that this was the place where immortals flew up, and couldn't help but turn pale.
Could it be in this dense forest...... Are there really ghosts?
When the old Taoist priest heard this, his hand, which originally wanted to turn over the corpse, couldn't help but tremble, and his pupils shrank even more.
Even though he has already achieved innateness, if he really faces this legendary ghost, I'm afraid it's hard to say who will win and who will lose!
"It's not good, it's ...... to retreat quickly"
Just as the old Taoist priest was about to get up and evacuate here, a chuckle came from the side.
"Look at you who haven't seen the world, you're still a ghost." Lin Chen strode directly from the crowd and explained, "They should have been bitten by ants similar to bullet ants. ”
"Bullet ants?" When the old Taoist priest heard this, his body was stunned, "The old man has been walking the world for many years, why has he never heard of this worm?" ”
"It's a bug from our hometown, and it's normal that you haven't heard of it." Lin Chen said lightly, "I mean, the bugs that devour them are very similar to the kind of bugs in my hometown in terms of the effect of toxins. ”
"Once bitten into a person's body, it is like being cut by a knife or poked by a sword, causing severe pain, and even the possibility of death."
Subsequently, Lin Chen directly turned over the corpse, only to see that a small wound was found on the back of the corpse's neck.
"The toxins of black ants here are much more terrifying than those in our hometown, and just one bite can make people die of pain."
"So they are affected by the toxin and die alive, and this poison is different from our ordinary poison, and it will not have obvious traces, so it looks strange to die, but it has nothing to do with ghosts."
"This ......" The old Taoist priest looked at the wound carefully and believed what Lin Chen said, "Xiaoyou is really well-informed. ”
"I just know a little more." Lin Chen smiled slightly, and continued, "Everyone walks, be careful not to get close to the bushes, and be careful to go down to the ground to ......."
Bang!
Before Lin Chen finished speaking, there were people in the team who fell down one after another.
"This!"
Many people around were stunned for a while before they reacted, and they retreated one after another, and their faces became very ugly.
This kind of silent death makes almost everyone feel as if a boulder is pressed on their chests, and there is an indescribable depression.
Lin Chen's eyes moved, he walked over, and after a closer look, he found that he was pale all over, as if he had lost blood, so he said, "This should be caused by insects similar to blood leeches sucking it." ”
Then, he turned over the corpse, lifted his clothes, and saw that its back was indeed covered with dense, fat and juicy leeches.
Its number is so dense and its shape is so strange that when you see people, you can't help but turn pale, and some people even vomit directly.
Lin Chen put down the corpse without changing his face, then stood up, raised his foot, and stepped on it heavily.
With a snapping sound, as if bursting, after a while, dark red blood flowed out from under the corpse.
"When everyone leaves, pay attention to your lower body so as not to get entangled in leeches."
After hearing this, everyone hurriedly touched their bodies, and even more, they opened their pants and looked inside, only to breathe a sigh of relief.
Lin Chen didn't care about their movements, but looked into the distance, his eyes moving slightly.
When he came in, he flew in from the air, and then burned it with fire, and he really hadn't entered the dense forest on the outside, and he didn't expect there to be so much trouble in it.
And this is still without aura, otherwise if there is nourishment of aura, I am afraid that the monks will have to die miserably here.
'But even so, it's not easy here, it seems that casualties are inevitable, but it's okay, it's too easy to get, no one will cherish it......
Looking at the panicked and nervous people in the field, Lin Chen's expression was inexplicable.
And it didn't take long for everyone to move forward again, after all, they had all come to this point, and no one would agree to retreat again.
