Although these poisonous insects do not move very fast, Zhang Yueqing shuttles between the branches and leaves, and it also consumes great internal strength. Although he had followed his master to Miaojiang, he had never seen such a scene, and his curiosity was great for a while, and he followed all the way regardless of the difficulty of his actions.

It was more than two hours long, and the moon was hanging in the sky at this time, and it was the middle of the night. Zhang Yueqing saw that the forest in front of him was no longer boundless, and he ran dozens of feet again, and he reached the end of the dense forest.

He looked down and saw a small river not far away, glowing with an eerie sheen in the moonlight, winding all the way to the east. There was no trace of those poisonous insects under the tree, and he said in his heart, "Could it be that I guessed wrong, those poisonous insects are not coming this way?"

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the sound of the sound again, and hurriedly leaned down, hiding his figure among the branches and leaves, and at a glance at the hazy moonlight, he saw a strange scene that he had never seen in his life.

The leader of the poisonous insects is a human-like monster, standing long, a few points taller than the average adult. He has hair on his body, like an ape in the Yunnan-Guizhou Mountains, but when he walks, he is the same as a human.

Zhang Yueqing remembered that when he followed his master to the rivers and lakes, the master told him some strange things, among which there was an animal called the mandrill, which was somewhat similar to this, but it was not as tall as the one in front of him.

Behind the monster, there was a black press, lined up in a long row that was more than a foot wide. As the monster moved forward, it continued to pour out of the forest, and I don't know how many were behind. The monster led the group to the river, only to stop, facing off into the distance, and let out a strange scream.

The voice was fluttering and flickering, like a baby's cry, mixed with the screams of human despair and the triumphant laughter of someone, accompanied by many painful and impermanent screams.

In the dim moonlight, it spread far away, like a sound from hell, Rao is Zhang Yueqing has experienced people, and has never heard such a creepy sound. I couldn't help frowning, and I felt a little chill in my heart.

The monster screamed a few times, seemed to be a little tired, bent its legs, and sat down by the river. When the poisonous insect behind him saw that it did not move, they also remained motionless.

After a while, a clear flute on the river in the distance suddenly pierced the sky, fluttering in the dead night sky.

The sound of the flute was light and graceful, refreshing, in stark contrast to the terrifying screams of the monster that had preceded it, like a sudden transition between hell and heaven, and the monster heard the sound of the flute and stood up. Waving his upper limbs, his mouth creaking sounds, as if welcoming the arrival of the owner of the flute.

Zhang Yueqing held his breath and looked towards the place in front of the monster, only to see a big boat suddenly appear on the small river in the distance.

The boat was so large that it took up almost half of the river. On the bow of the ship stood a man, dressed in a robe and a hat, with a flute across his lips, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman.

When the monster saw the ship coming, it danced with excitement. As soon as the boat reached the shore, he jumped up, ran to the man, jumped up and down with his teeth and claws, and the man waved his hand lightly, and the monster stopped making trouble, and obediently crouched down.

The poisonous insects behind him climbed up the boat like a tide, and after a meal, the man on the boat put down his flute, turned the bow of the boat, and went down the river in the moonlight, and in a moment, disappeared from view.

When Zhang Yueqing saw this scene, his heart fluttered. Before coming to southern Yunnan, he knew that there were thousands of miles of mountains and thousands of years of lush forests.

The people here are good at raising poisonous insects and poisonous Gu, and are accompanied by wild beasts and snakes, among which there are many unknowns and horrors that are unknown to others, but even if they are prepared, when they witness this strange and impermanent picture, they still feel unbelievable and unbelievable.

He saw the great ship go away, and he was not seen. And when he saw the moon on the top, and the tiredness of his body came, he closed his eyes and slept on the tree.

The next day, at dawn, Zhang Yueqing woke up. He was already sleeping lightly, and when there was a slight light in front of him, he woke up immediately. In the distance, the morning sun slowly rises. The sun falls on the river, the breeze blows, the water shines, reflecting the mountains and trees, but it is a beautiful scenery.

It's as if there had never been such a horrific scene as last night.

Zhang Yueqing hastily ate some dry food, jumped off the tree, and walked to the river. In the daytime, the river meanders and circles, with no end in sight. He remembered the man and the boat full of poison last night. A thought rose in my heart, "I am in southern Yunnan, although I don't know where the Five Poisons Sect is, but this sect is based on poison, I wonder if this person last night has anything to do with the Five Poisons Sect?"

I thought again, "I'm looking blindly now, I don't know when I'll be able to find the Five Poisons Gate and get the antidote." Naturally, I am not afraid of delay, but Xiaoyan can't wait, and ten days have passed since the January period. Yesterday's person, even if he was not a member of the Five Poisons Sect, at least he was on the same path as them, and from him, he might be able to find some clues. ”

But he didn't have a boat to ride, and if he went up the river in the forest, it would be too slow, and he thought, "I need to make a boat first." "Draw your sword, cut down a few small trees, and divide the trunks into sections about a foot long. He also found some vines and tied the trunks together to make a simple raft. He cut down a long log, and cut off the branches, and used it as a pole. Cut off two planks and you're going to have an oar.

He pushed the raft into the river and stood on it, and the raft draught, but did not sink. He was overjoyed in his heart, and secretly lucked, "Fortunately, I was lucky, the first time I made this kind of thing, I succeeded." ”

Pick up the pole, stretch it to the shore, and the raft will sail into the river. He was originally from Jiangnan, and he had lived in the Jiangnan water town for many years, and his water nature was excellent, although he had rarely rowed a boat before, and it was not difficult to control this small raft to move forward in the river.

However, the river in the jungle swamp is inaccessible and there are many fish underwater. Zhang Yueqing paddled forward, and there were often flying fish jumping out of the water and falling on the raft. When I looked closely, I saw that some fish had sharp teeth, and after getting out of the water, they did not struggle, and opened their mouths to bite them.

Zhang Yueqing recognized this as a piranha. Although this fish is not large, it has a fierce personality and eats meat. When I was a child, I often heard that a fisherman encountered a storm in the river, and after the boat sank, he was gnawed to the bones by a crowd of piranhas. ”

Although his raft is made of wood, it will not be bad if a fish bites it. But the raft is connected to the vines found randomly in the jungle, and the fish can't bite the wood, but they can bite the vines. Once the raft is separated, the buoyancy is not enough, and it falls into the water, facing an unknown number of ferocious fish, which is really not an easy thing to deal with.

However, as the so-called blessing is rewarded, the disaster is silent. He was worried about himself when he suddenly heard a creaking sound, and the vines at the edge of the raft had been bitten off, and the two logs were separated from the raft and floated away.

Zhang Yueqing secretly complained bitterly, thinking, "What do you really want to do!" The long sword came out of its sheath and plunged underwater. It's just that the other man is unsteady on the raft, and second, how nimble is the fish in the water? At first, it can also scare the fish and make them afraid to approach. But these fish were very clever and bold, and when they came later, they were no longer afraid, and they swarmed in groups.

Zhang Yueqing only felt that his body sank, and the void under his feet turned out that the vines between the rafts had been bitten off by these fish. Pieces of wood scattered in all directions, and he lost the support under his feet, and fell into the water with a thud.

When the fish saw him fall overboard, it was as if they had seen their prey suddenly take the bait, and they opened their mouths and bit at him.
