Chapter 69: The Figure

Lin Chunxi and his party waited until dawn and left the temporary campsite and began to advance into the depths of the swamp.

Everyone found that since the Gu worms were eliminated last night, the crows no longer followed, and the Miao people were also sad when they thought of the two companions who died tragically last night. Lin Chunxi and the others were also very depressed, these Miao friends came to help them, but five people had already died, and they would never go back. What makes them most sad is that the bodies of these people have not been preserved, the Miao people advocate burial, if the corpse is not preserved, they will always feel that the soul can not be at peace, Lin Chunxi and other brothers and sisters, recited a paragraph of French together, hoping that the souls of these Miao brothers can be rested.

But everyone still had a task to do, and they couldn't stay here for long, and they hurried on the road after mourning. The closer they got to the center of the swamp, the smell of decay became heavier and heavier, and the group had already put on their masks, and the pills on the masks were changed more and more frequently.

The old Miao doctor consulted the notes from time to time, and according to the clues left on the notes, under the advice of the team leader, he looked for a suitable route for everyone. After approaching a piece of water, the old Miao doctor told everyone with a happy face that he was very close to the destination, and everyone was very pleased.

The air in the swamp is very humid, which makes people feel very excited, and the physical consumption is very large, because the fresh water is getting less and less, so everyone drinks as little as possible. Although it should have been close to noon by the time, the fog in the swamp was still heavy, and when I looked up, the whole sky felt dark.

Lin Chunxi was a little worried at this time, because according to the old Miao doctor and his analysis, there were still faceless enemies lurking in the swamp, which could drive Gu insects to harm people, indicating that the other party's strength was not bad. The sudden killing of Xia Yimo before is a good proof of this, maybe more than one dangerous enemy is secretly watching them at this time.

Lin Chunxi knew that the other party must be waiting for them to find the immortal grass, or wait for them to be exhausted, and then come out to eliminate them, but at the moment, he couldn't divide his troops to actively search in the vast swamp, so he could only be vigilant at all times, waiting for the moment when the enemy appeared.

Lin Chunxi secretly informed Xue Lingheng that many rune arrays had been laid along the way to monitor whether anyone was following. As a result, there was really a discovery, when they were having lunch, Xue Lingheng secretly came over and told Lin Chunxi, "There is a tail coming up", Lin Chunxi signaled him to keep quiet, and continued to secretly set up the rune array.

The water in the swamp in front of you is vast, and from a distance, it seems to divide the swamp into several parts. The team leader arranged for the rest of the people to prepare the bamboo raft, and everyone took three bamboo rafts and began to glide along the water.

Because after sliding for a while, the team leader found that they had returned to the place where they started, and after several attempts, they were all like this, as if they were spinning in place, no matter how they skated, they would still return to the original point.

Song Yan shook his head and asked, "Senior brother, have we encountered ghosts hitting the wall again", Lin Chunxi frowned and shook his head, the team leader didn't feel like he was being disturbed by something, but really lost, this swamp was separated by water into a labyrinth, until the sky was close to dusk, everyone was still spinning on the water, and there was no progress in half a day.

Just when everyone was anxious, a group of unknown birds flew in the sky, and the old Miao doctor shouted to everyone in surprise, "Quick, go in the direction of the bird's flight, they overlook this water area from the sky, it must be better than our sight, the animals will always find a way to find the exit", the team leader hurriedly instructed the rowing Miao people to quickly move forward in the direction of the bird's flight.

Sure enough, the birds took them to a place where they had not been before, and after several turnarounds, the group finally rowed out this labyrinthine of waters, and finally drove to the flat ground before dark, and after collecting the bamboo rafts, they chose a relatively dry plateau as a temporary campsite, because they did not dare to venture through the swamp in the dark night, so they were ready to sleep out for the night, and then plan after dawn tomorrow.

After everything was ready, Lin Chunxi quietly found Xue Lingheng and asked him if the person who was following him was still there, Xue Lingheng smiled and shook his head, "Since we entered the water, there has been no trace, I think he is also going around the maze at this time", Lin Chunxi also smiled slightly, according to his analysis, the other party did not dare to go deep into the swamp easily, but he still couldn't take it lightly.

After dinner, it was getting dark, and it was dark as far as the eye could see, with a little starlight on the water, but at a distance it was impossible to see anything clearly.

In order to prevent the sneak attack of the secret enemy, Lin Chunxi increased the manpower on duty in the middle of the night, but still did not arrange a person on duty at night for Bailing, such an arrangement provoked Bailing's small mouth to pout Lao Gao, under Bailing's repeated insistence, Lin Chunxi had to listen to her request, because he couldn't rest assured, he divided Bailing and Qingshan and himself into the same group, so that Bailing's face showed a smile.

The night in the swamp was not quiet, the sound of insects chirping one after another, if you did not have enough concentration, you could not sleep at all, everyone had been running around for days, and they could not take care of much under exhaustion, leaving the night watchman, and the others slept very deeply.

Qingshan is often responsible for the task of keeping vigil in Miao Village, so presumably the other two are more energetic, Bailing rarely has such an experience, and at the beginning he can still talk and laugh with Lin Chunxi, ask this and that, but after a while, he began to doze off, Lin Chunxi did not disturb her, let her sleep peacefully, and he and Qingshan stared at the movements around the camp with high vigilance.

When it was time to change shifts, Lin Chunxi was also a little tired, and he stood up to soothe and soothe his muscles, but when he stretched his waist, he suddenly found that there seemed to be a figure near the water on the left side of the camp, and Qingshan also found out about this situation, and the two did not speak, exchanging glances with each other.

Lin Chunxi motioned for Qingshan to stay behind to protect Bai Ling, and quietly sneaked over with his sword to investigate the situation. Lin Chunxi held his breath and stared, tiptoed close to this figure, and when he walked in, he found that Lin Chunxi was surprised that this was actually a person with his back to him and facing the water.
