Chapter Twenty-Seven: Adventure in the Woods
In view of the fact that all the situation in the deep mountains is unknown, Mo Ji arranged the team, Chen Yiyao and Lu Ling were responsible for reconnaissance in the two wings, secretly assisting in protection and surveillance, and always vigilant to prevent the demon path from sneaking up on both sides of the team.
Lin Chunxi and Tao Ye were responsible for playing the front station, setting off first, and getting first-hand information for the brigade to advance.
Mo Ji took Xue Lingheng, Lu Yiru, Luo Yifei and Song Yan to follow behind, because the speed of their movements was not fast enough, so Mo Ji personally sat in the town to protect them and move forward together.
The deeper you go into the forest, the more humid the air becomes, and because the trees grow very luxuriantly, with long branches and large leaves, even if the sun is fierce, the woods are still bright and dark.
The trees rot and turn into mud, coupled with the corpses of various birds and beasts, and the air in the dense forest is not circulated, so the miasma is not easy to disperse all year round. However, the power of the medicine is limited after all, so everyone does not dare to hold it up, so in order to seize the time, they speed up their pace.
There were a few birdsongs in the dense forest from time to time, among which there were a few special sounds, which were actually simulated bird calls by Chen Yiyao and Lu Ling, prompting everyone to move forward safely, and Lin Chunxi also replied with the sound of birdsong, indicating the direction of the two to explore.
After just a few days of running-in, several teenagers have gradually formed a tacit understanding, and their cooperation has become more and more proficient, and now there is basically no need to wait for instructions, Lin Chunxi can mobilize the whole team through various ways and fight together, and it looks like a group of veterans who have been in battle for a long time.
Suddenly, Lin Chunxi sent back a signal from Lin Chunxi in front of him to stand by, and everyone stopped and began to pay attention to the surroundings vigilantly. It was only then that you noticed that many of the trees in this area were planted on the ground by roots, and there were signs of cracking in the ground, and the further you went, the more obvious the traces became.
According to the surrounding scene, Lin Chunxi thought that he was very close to the epicenter, so he beckoned everyone to gather, leaving only Chen Yiyao and Lu Ling to remain vigilant around.
This dense forest is located in the central hinterland of the Miaonan region, and I have been here once, but due to the earthquake, the environment has become very different from the original.
Luo Yifei, who is the most sensitive to miasma, seemed to notice something, he bent down, dipped his fingers in the stagnant water on the ground, and touched the broken branches around him, everyone knew that this cold guy must have found something, and he would not say a word before he was completely sure, so he simply didn't bother him.
After a short time, Luo Yifei turned around and took off the miasma avoidance pill hanging on his chest, everyone was puzzled, Luo Yifei pointed around, and said to everyone, "Take it down, you don't need this miasma avoidance pill here, save a little use."
At this time, Mo Ji understood what he meant, it turned out that the closer to the epicenter, the thinner the miasma, and the forest poison gas, which should have been strong enough to hurt people's lives, actually became abnormally lighter, and the closer it was to the depths of the dense forest, the shallower the toxicity. In the face of this unconventional phenomenon, even if it is beyond the reach of the south and the north, it has never been seen.
"I think it's because of the earthquake that this place was purified," Loifi said to herself, holding her chin in thought.
Song Yan shook his head and asked puzzledly, "You mean that it is possible to shake something out and digest the poisonous gas here."
Luo Yifei nodded, with an incredible expression on his face, "It's really unreasonable, it is said that the earthquake itself will also emit toxic gases, but here it is indeed less toxic, or even almost no toxicity, I can only guess this, I think there must be something in play ahead, if I am not mistaken, the further you go, the better the air will be."
Everyone also took off the miasma avoidance pill one after another, and in the face of such a strange scene, everyone's curiosity was aroused, and they couldn't wait to signal Lin Chunxi to continue moving forward. After a short period of recuperation, everyone began to walk to the deepest part of the dense forest.
Sure enough, Luo Yifei said, the more he went deep into the dense forest, the air that should have been turbid and toxic, but there was a faint fragrance, which tasted like fresh flowers and plants, and a little like melons and fruits.
Under the influence of this mysterious aura, everyone even felt that Neidan was also full of energy, and this smell really didn't seem to come from the human world. Walking further, a group of people saw a strange scene, the surrounding trees were full of all kinds of birds, the birds were singing in unison, as if they were vying to show their most beautiful songs, they surrounded a towering tree, the trunk is tall, the branches and leaves are luxuriant, the sunlight here is also the strongest, shining on the people warmly, the aroma in the air is getting denser and denser, floating in the mouth faintly there is a sweet feeling.
I saw that the big tree was covered with all kinds of butterflies, densely covered with a large area, they hugged the trunk of the big tree, the wings of the butterflies were like the waves, neatly and rhythmically maintained the rhythm, the number of butterflies was really surprisingly large, as if the butterflies of the whole mountain were surrounded, as if they were taking care of something.
Lin Chunxi seemed to faintly feel that there seemed to be something under the layers of butterflies, and he was about to walk over to take a look. Suddenly, warning signals from Chen Yiyao and Lu Ling came from the surroundings almost at the same time.
Everyone was immediately alert, quickly withdrew from the vicinity of the big tree, and lined up a defensive formation in layers. Approaching, there was a sound of weapons colliding not far away, it should be Chen Yiyao and Lu Ling who had already fought with each other.
Lin Chunxi motioned to Tao Ye to pick up Chen Yiyao, and instructed Xue Lingheng to prepare the talisman array, while Song Yan and Lu Yiru were responsible for protecting Xue Lingheng, and then flew to the direction of Lu Ling to reinforce him.
Lin Chunxi jumped a few times and came to the place of the incident, only to see three masked people in black robes besieging Lu Ling, these three people showed their true colors as masters in their gestures, and their offensive movements were coherent and sharp, one move after another, the three of them moved one after another, the offensive was like a wave, both fierce and continuous, just a few rounds later, Lu Ling was already a little unable to hold on, and frequently retreated. Lin Chunxi hurriedly drew his sword to meet him, secretly using his skills, several beautiful sword flowers accompanied by fierce sword qi, and pointed at the three people, the three of them saw that the situation was not good, and they retreated while fighting, and after pulling away from the distance, they went up to the tree one after another, and the strange thing is that they completely imitated the movements of bats, hanging upside down on the branches, wrapping people in black robes, only showing their heads, and three pairs of cold eyes stared coldly at Lin Chunxi and Lu Ling.
