19 Chapter 19

The place to settle was ready, and Ah Yun also deliberately used a wooden spear to drive away the insects in and around the tree hole, cleaned out the sludge inside, and spread some leaves picked from the branches outside, so that the single room of such a temporary tree hole youth hostel could already be put on the shelves for sale.

She sealed the hole in the tree from the inside in her delicate little door and returned to the surface. The next step is to make a mark, and if you take two steps in the rainforest, you will get lost, first by placing a small circle on the ground with a stone, and then sticking a stick into the nearby moss, and tying some vines to the head of the stick.

After marking the near the tree hole, she began to explore slowly, wrapping stones with leaves or throwing short sticks on the ground every few steps to mark, and after walking slowly for a hundred or so, Ah Yun was tired again......

The road in the rainforest is even more difficult to walk, the vegetation at the edge of the rainforest is still under control, the more you move inside, the more moist the soil becomes, the dark brown soil turns a very deep black, the plants that grow on these black soils seem to have overdosed on hormones, and the leaves of bushes and ferns are almost the size of small beds, and the branches are too extended.

There were many palm-sized insects hanging under those huge leaves, and Ah Yun didn't dare to look closely, and he didn't intend to disturb unfamiliar animals.

There were so many obstacles in the path that I couldn't feel it at all on Tiso's shoulder last time I rode it...... As he ran, he clattered and shredded all the leaves and other things that stood in his way. Damn, why is he so strong, Ah Yun sighed at the unfairness of fate as he sat down on the root of a nearby bulging tree.

As soon as she sat down, she jumped up like a spring, and the thing that looked like mud at the root of the tree was not mud at all! What kind of bug is it?!

She took a few steps back in a panic, glaring at the thing that had been flattened by herself...... It's a bit like the skin of a slug, about the length of a forearm, and you can't tell the head and tail, but there's a brush-like exploding tentacle at one end? The thing was now hanging lifelessly.

After looking closely, Ah Yun felt that his entire scalp was tingling. What she thought was a "bulging root" was wriggling in a very slow motion, and the little slug she was sitting on was just a larvae attached to a larger body. And it's not just one, everything that looks like dirt on the "root" is an arm-sized mollusk.

After a brief wriggling, the "roots" began to move slowly forward, dragging the leaves on the ground with a scalp-tingling sticky rustle.

Ah Yun stiffened and slowly moved backwards, but fortunately the giant root worm didn't seem aggressive. Under Ah Yun's eyes, the giant insect gradually disappeared into the bushes, and the ground it crawled away left behind a slimy, astringent strip of paste.

I regret it a little, why don't I hide in the tree hole until the next morning? Ah Yun's hands holding the wooden spear were sweating wildly, and she was afraid that if she continued to walk, she would accidentally run into some camouflage-colored insects or beasts. Isn't it too hasty? Do you want to be more careful......

By the way, act more carefully!!

โ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ

Ah Yun squatted on the ground, sweating profusely at a pile of leaves, realizing that he was not careful enough...... That is, after she didn't have a tactical covert jungle suit, she planned to make a leaf hat on the spot, which was in the cave before, but she didn't bring it.

The leaves in the rainforest are so thick and thick that they are difficult to string together and drape over her body, so she has to spend her time looking for smaller leaves. But the smallest leaves in this rainforest are as big as plantain leaves...... Ah Yun thought about it for a long time, and decided to tear the huge leaves into one by one, but not from the stem, similar to an advertisement pasted on a telephone post, and the phone below would be split into one by one, so that pedestrians could tear it off and take it away.

After tearing off a leaf, she lifted the stone and began to smash the stem, softening it so that it could bend. After beating for about ten minutes, it felt soft enough, and Ah Yun wrapped the leaf strips around his shoulders, and the effect was not bad. I made a few more gourds in the same way, and then used vines to connect them like mahjong mats and draped them on my back.

Then Ah Yun went to find some relatively small ferns and dead grass and leaves, and strung them together with vines to make something like a grass crown and put it on his head.

Well, now I may have fully integrated into the forest. She straightened the leaf coat on her tiara and shoulders.

Lying on the ground was like a poor leaf that had lost its nutrients and fell from the branches. Lying on the trunk of a tree is like a fern clinging to the trunk from the bottom up trying to steal the sun.

Ah Yun's rainforest camouflage suit is undoubtedly the best of the humble productions.

After she put on the camouflage leaf coat, she became much more confident, and immediately walked out of the shadow that had just been frightened by the giant mollusk and stiffened her hands and feet. On the rest of the way, as soon as she noticed any wrong sound, she just lay down on the ground and did not move, and when the sound subsided, she crawled forward on all fours like a โ–กโ–ก. During this period, he did not forget to make a mark on the ground.

It was much slower than planned, but it was a thrilling way to the trickle where I was last in. She washed her hands on the edge of the trickle, then took a few sips of water.

She had been carefully observing left and right when drinking, after all, she thought that although the river was small, it was also a qualified water source, and there would definitely be other animals at the lower end of the food chain to come and drink water.

That's right, about fifty meters away from Ah Yun, there was a group of small animals drinking water, they were a bit like turtles carrying trapezoidal grass-green shells on their backs, but they couldn't see their eyes, and they also had a lot of fleshy thorns on their bodies.

The movement seemed to be slow, and the group was large and small, and they had apparently noticed Ah Yun's arrival and stopped drinking water. After Ah Yun straightened up, these turtle-like things left in a panic, and the speed was unbelievable, almost disappearing in the blink of an eye.

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ Isn't it a turtle. "Ah Yun originally wanted to observe these animals more. Now she can only start looking around for something to eat.

There are a lot of mushrooms growing around here, all kinds of colors. Blue, yellow, red...... Everything imaginable was stained with mushrooms. Saying that it is a mushroom is just a general name for Ah Yun, and if you want to describe it more precisely, it is......

Drilled out of the black earth, strangely shaped solids, in any shape and color, just like those incomprehensible avant-garde art sculptures in museums.

There was even a chain that snaked up from the dirt. Some of them are very large, maybe a meter in diameter, and some are very small, maybe half the size of a palm, but they are very numerous, and one after the other can stretch and cover a large piece of land.

The reason why these things that don't look like mushrooms at all are called mushrooms is purely because Tisso said when he introduced her earlier: "Beautiful, but if you eat it, you will die." โ€

And these things will shatter when pinched, and they will spray suspicious powder, no matter how you look at it, they are all mushrooms!

It's a pity that you can't eat it even when you've grown so much. Ah Yun poked one of the pale yellow round mushrooms with a wooden spear as if he was angry, but the mushroom squirted out a little fine and dense powder, and it quickly turned into an ugly yellow-brown shriveled down.

"...... herself had better not move these things, lest she faint from the poisonous spray later, she took a few steps back away from the mushroom area, and began to look for other food near the river, collecting food was the easiest part, and it didn't take long for her to fill a fanny pack of food. That's enough for her to eat until tomorrow morning.

Next...... While Ayun was thinking about what to do next. Ticking, a drop of water fell on her forehead, and she looked up, and there were many droplets of water dripping down from the leaves, not raining, as if the sequel of the water droplets on the leaves had suddenly slid down together at this time. Not quite sure what was going on, Ah Yun just pulled the leaf clothes up to cover his head.

The water droplets fell for about ten minutes, and it was at this time that Ah Yun suddenly felt that something was wrong, and the ground was ...... Seems to be trembling?

It wasn't an earthquake, but a more regular sound of leaves tumbling, branches and vines tangling and breaking, huge roars and heavy footsteps rushing towards Ah Yun's place like waves.

There is no doubt that the water droplets on the leaves were shaken down by this movement, what happened? The unpleasant sound of a huge tower falling in mid-air had already vaguely given the answer, some giant creature was coming, and there was more than one.

The voice came from the south, in the direction of her tree hole. Ah Yun hurriedly tightened his pocket...... What to do? Do you run away into the woods, or hide further in?

She only marked one way back to the tree hole and outside the rainforest, at which time she did not dare to easily find a way to run, the rainforest was not flat, and a few trees could block people from getting lost in a single turn.

In a panic, Ah Yun decided to run back to the tree hole. The ground shook more and more intensely, and she didn't care if she would hit bugs or small animals, but just ran ahead of her head. When she arrived at the tree hole, she hurriedly stuck the wooden spear in the ground, and quickly climbed to the hole of the tree and got in, firmly blocking the wooden door from the hole.

Unfortunately, the tremor inside the tree hole was even stronger, as if it had been placed in a dark cradle. Ah Yun felt that his heartbeat was fast and synchronized with the vibration...... Was it a bunch of big dinosaurs? But giant carnivorous dinosaurs don't travel together, and the hordes in the documentary are only giant herbivorous dinosaurs. The sound was getting closer and closer, and Ah Yun couldn't help but be curious, so he moved the wooden door away a little and peeked out.

She could barely see anything from this perspective, but she also felt safe. Closing the door again, he curled up and managed to make himself comfortable in the hollow of the tree. It was like forcibly stuffing the chicken breast into a small crisper box that didn't match, and although it was uncomfortable, Ah Yun quickly fell into a light sleep due to exhaustion.

After only sitting on the road for a while in the morning, the long walk and the rainforest consumed too much energy, and when I woke up again, the ambient sound and smell outside the tree hole were different.

Ah Yun felt stiff, and it was really uncomfortable to curl up in the hollow of the tree to sleep. She removed the wooden door a little, and it wasn't as bright outside as it had been when she had fallen asleep, because the canopy was so thick that time seemed to pass a little faster in the rainforest than outside. She wasn't quite sure what time it was...... Maybe three or four o'clock in the afternoon?

Anyway, she didn't plan to leave the tree hole anymore today. Now I have to go out and stretch...... Otherwise, you'll have cramps.

opened the wooden door, and his head drilled out first, followed by his shoulders and upper body, but when his thighs moved out, Ah Yun noticed something unusual, and he couldn't tell...... It was as if a few drops of sweat had slipped from the thighs and fallen down the calves with the movement. She didn't pay much attention to it, it was already stuffy in the tree hole, so let's go to the trickle near the trickle to wash her body after seeing that the surroundings are safe.

But something was still wrong, and when Ayun climbed down with the trunk facing down, he still felt that something was wrong. My stomach was a little uncomfortable, and the sweat was still sliding down my calves intermittently.

What's going on...... It can't be that staying in the tree hole for too long is something unusual. She sped up to get back to the ground, and looked at her calves as she stood still.

"Ah......" makes people a little speechless, and there are also some unexpected things that are reasonable.

She had her period...... What I thought was sweat just now was actually a small bead of blood that had slipped down, and there were already three or four thin blood marks from thighs to calves.

What? What?? Is this time ?? Ah Yun was no less surprised at this moment than when he had his first menstrual period in junior high school. It feels like I'm ten years younger.

After crossing here, she was so busy making ends meet that she had completely forgotten that she had the special ability of bleeding regularly...... Not only did she forget, but her body also forgot mechanically because of its poor food and shelter and excessive emaciation.

In the past few days, it is the middle of the second month that she has been here, maybe because she has eaten well and slept well in the last few days.

Mentality is really important, even if she just encountered a strange giant creature passing by, she didn't break down or be scared.

Ah Yun stood in silence and thought about what to do, the smell of menstrual blood is not good in the rainforest, it is very bad. There was a slight pain in her stomach, but it didn't affect her movements.

And if it's a lot, she'll have to figure out how to make something to cushion it. Well...... From all sides, this time the amount should not be large, right? Or wash it first and get rid of the smell.

Thinking about it, Ah Yun picked up the leaf clothes that he had taken off on the ground before, took the spear that was placed next to him, and walked in the direction of the trickle again.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the rainforest was much quieter along the way, because the unknown giant creature passed by earlier and scared away the animals and bugs in the area? It's a good thing, she walks more at ease. This time it was a lot faster than the last time, and it was a few minutes before she heard the murmuring of a trickle, and an abrupt voice sounded softly as she approached the trickle......

"Ayun?"

Yes? That's a coincidence, isn't it? She looked in amazement at Tisso, who was standing not far from the trickle, who was a little dirty. Suddenly met his good friend Tisuo in such a place, and after Ah Yun was surprised, he immediately became more relieved: "Why are you here?" โ€

Before she could get an answer, Ah Yun was grabbed by Tisuo who rushed towards her: "What are you doing!?" โ€

Tiso's expression Ah Yun had seen before, it was the same as when he killed birds before, and at this moment he was staring at the few blood marks on Ah Yun's calf, and his six pupils seemed to shrink because of anger: "Ah Yun, does it hurt?" There are other places, are they hurt. โ€

It was then that Ah Yun noticed that the things on Tisuo's body that she thought were dirty were not dust or mud lumps. Rather, blood splatters on the body and kills the lumps.

"Ah Yun, I thought you were dead." Tisso grabbed Ah Yun closer, and as he spoke, Ah Yun saw that under his sharp teeth, there was blood swimming around the edge of the row of bright red gums, "I went to the cave to look for you, you are not there, everywhere is destroyed." โ€

Tiso pulled his hand and hugged Ah Yun in his arms: "Does it hurt?" I'll get you some medicine. โ€

After being held in his arms, Ah Yun found that the smell of blood on Tisuo's body was very strong, and there were several new wounds on his body: "Why, blood, wounds...... What did you do? โ€

Tisso looked down at her, those horrified eyes changing back to their original ways after confirming that she was okay: "They, destroy your cave, I thought, they let you die." โ€

"So, let them die."
