Yan Saburo listened, nodded, picked up the bucket from the boat, turned around and walked into the forest, Zhuang Nanjia and Jing Qing hurriedly followed. The others also acted separately, basically moving forward with the people in the same room, and Hu Yong occupied a room by himself and left alone.

The island is very large, and birds are chirping everywhere, but the mountains and forests seem to be quiet. Jing Qing followed and walked two miles before muttering, "We should stay on the beach." This forest looks dangerous. ”

"Ships often come ashore to replenish fresh water, and there are traces of human activity everywhere. You see, there is still half a piece of hemp rope tied to the tree. Zhuang Nanjia comforted him, "If it's dangerous, they won't come." ”

"The danger comes from other people!" Jing Qing said with a bitter face, "It's hard to get too close to the ship, now that the island is so big and the forest is so big...... there is room for people to play freely."

Swallow Saburo ignored their concerns. At this time, Jing Qing happened to ask him: "Little Brother Yan, why do you want to go deep into the old forest?" He saw that Dou Ya and the others were walking along the seaside, why did Yan Sanlang go straight into the dense forest, and he was still going higher and higher, more and more secretive?

Could it be, does this guy want to do something to them? Thinking about it carefully, the cold hairs on Jing Qing's back stood up, but after thinking about it again, they slept in the same room for several days, and Yan Saburo had a chance to attack them.

He didn't take action at that time, and now the two of them should be safe, right?

Regarding his vigilance, Yan Saburo seemed to be ignorant, and still turned his back to them and said: "There is a water source where the forest is abundant. ”

With Chitose here, he wasn't afraid of these two sneaking up on him from behind.

Speaking of this, he raised his head and sniffed twice: "It's close, it should be just ahead." "Even in November, the air here is very humid.

He strode forward, and within a hundred feet, even Jing Qing and the others heard the sound of gurgling water.

Sure enough, there is fresh water here!

Twenty feet further, the forest stream jumped into view.

The amount of water is surprisingly abundant. Otherwise, in such a cold weather, the shallow stream would have been frozen long ago.

It's no wonder that passing ships like to fetch water here and don't go empty.

Yan Saburo tasted it, the water was sweet, and he filled the two large wooden barrels carried from the boat. It was a few sizes bigger than a bucket at home, but he could carry it with one hand without any effort.

The trio then began to fill their water bladders.

Chitose sighed: "This Zhuang Nanjia is really rich, and he actually has a storage ring." ”

Yan Saburo glanced at the sound and saw that he was still pouring water. He noticed Yan Saburo's gaze and looked up with a smile.

"This is the third water bladder he replaced, and I thought no one had found out. Chitose smiled, "I'm so greedy, I don't even have enough fresh water." ”

Zhuang Nanjia stored an excess amount of clean water in case of an accident at sea.

"It seems that his storage ring is not small. Chitose groaned, "Do you want to grab it?"

By this time the fat old man had been filled with water, and with some difficulty he stood up, and walked a few steps into the woods, looking around. Jing Qing was about to call him back, but he had already pointed to the tree and said, "There is fruit, you can eat it!"

After three days at sea, they had eaten enough dry food, especially fresh vegetables. Jing Qing walked in that direction, and when he looked up again, he saw that the trees by the stream were hanging yellow and clear fruits, oval like olives, but the clusters were dense, and a few of each large handful had cracked, and they were obviously ripe.

"This is a yellow peel fruit, sweet and sour, with the effect of rationalizing qi and eliminating food and relieving depression and heat, there is no harm in eating more!" Zhuang Nanjia tiptoed to pick it while introducing, but unfortunately people are too short to reach. "Tu Guo can only eat it in July and August, and it can still bear fruit in November. ”

As soon as he said "sour", Jing Qing swallowed his saliva: "I'll come." "Tuck the hem into the belt of my trousers and start climbing the tree, very nimble.

As soon as this fruit grows, it is a big handful, Jing Qing took out a knife and cut two handfuls: "Is it enough?"

"Yo, it's so sweet!" Zhuang Nanjia grabbed a fruit and pinched it, put the flesh into his mouth, and said with a smile, "It's not enough, come again!"

He quickly ate a few more: "This thing is so enjoyable, it's not enough for me to eat." ”

Seeing his greed, Jing Qing simply cut off a whole branch and came down, and there was a lot of fruit on it.

But just as it fell to the ground with its branches and leaves, a short shuttle suddenly shot out from the depths of the forest, hitting him on the side of his neck!

This thing is only one finger long and two fingers wide, and has no wings at the end of the tail, so it does not make a sound, but it tests the accuracy of the head and the strength of the hand. Jing Qing paid all his attention to the front, and he didn't expect someone to sneak attack on the side.

This shuttle is extremely powerful, if it is solid, not only will the cervical artery be cut, but it may also hurt the cervical vertebrae, and Jing Qing has little chance of survival.

However, Yan Saburo had already taken a step to the left, and his vision was no longer blocked by the falling branches, and at the same time, with a flick of his left hand, a money dart flew out, and the last one came first, hitting the shuttle with a "ding" sound!

After the battle of Red Crossbow Peak, he also found that his long-range attack accuracy was too poor, and he was thrown several streets by Ke Yanhua and Han Zhao. After returning to Chunming City, he practiced hard for more than half a year, and his skills have improved greatly.

The shuttle was beaten crooked, and it was nailed to the trunk of the tree in front of Jing Qing's eyes, which frightened him into an exclamation.

Yan Saburo's figure flashed, and he chased in the direction where the shuttle was shooting.

Not far away, a tree branch swayed gently, apparently standing alone.

Jing Qing's hands and feet were weak, and he climbed down the tree with a rolling belt, and immediately went to shrink into a ball under the shadow of the tree.

Fortunately, a figure flashed in the field, and Yan Saburo returned.

"Who is it?"

"Did you catch anyone?"

Jing Qing and Zhuang Nanjia spoke together, but the words they said were different.

"I saw only a shadow, vague and not real. Yan Saburo shook his head, "He was injured by my secret weapon." "Hold up a money dart.

With the help of the light in the dense forest, the two could also see a little blood stain on the edge of the dart.

Zhuang Nanjia paused: "Alas, why don't you chase down?"

"What if you turn the tiger away from the mountain?" Yan Saburo didn't raise his eyebrows, "If you have cultivation, I can let go and chase after you." "If the other party has an accomplice, as soon as he leaves, his companion will be able to harvest the two signs here.

Zhuang Nanjia immediately laughed and said: "Ah, I'm sorry, it's me who is overly alarmed, look at my temper! "I was secretly surprised in my heart, this young man looked like he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but his response was far beyond that of an adult, and it was not easy to keep his mind careful in this situation.

Yan Saburo pulled out the shuttle from the trunk of the tree and looked at it twice: "Quenched the poison, see the blood seal the throat." "There's a little bit of liquid on the shuttle head, and it's blue. The trunk of the tree that was shot was even darkened from the wound. "The fruit of this tree can no longer be eaten. ”
