Chapter 13: Retribution Is Coming?
The camp gradually fell silent, except for the distant roar of beasts and the wind, but this silence did not allow one to sleep.
Wolves are not terrible, but what is terrible is the treacherous heart of people. Wu Feng closed his eyes and lay in the "small house", a pair of sword eyebrows never stretched until the sky was overcast.
Walking to the creek, Wu Feng squatted down, the cool stream water made him suddenly sober a lot, and after taking a handful of drinks, he looked at the camp of the hurricane detachment, at this time, Qin Bai was also walking towards the stream.
"Captain Wu slept well last night?"
"Captain Tuoqin's blessing, it's not bad!"
Smiling at each other, the two of them returned to the camp without further ado, and at this time the other team members also got up, some went to the stream to fetch water, and some began to pack their bags.
The two teams were quickly ready to go, at this time, the sun had completely revealed, staring at the faint mist that drifted out of the forest, Wu Feng took a deep breath and raised his sword to step, this time Qin Bai did not fight for priority.
The further you go, the dimmer the light becomes, plus the moisture, fog, and miasma, which makes people nervous, but fortunately, they are all hunting veterans, and the spirit deer does not like to migrate, so everyone goes straight to the target with a deep foot and a shallow foot.
Two or three hours later, the sound of rushing water sounded, and Wu Feng took a breath because he was halfway through his journey here.
The sound of the water became clearer and clearer, and soon a river was in front of everyone. Although the river is wide, the water is slow, which is not dangerous for the people who hunt for a living, let alone the familiar road.
"Everyone be careful, there has been a lot of rain recently, and the river must have risen a lot. ”
Carefully sail the Ten Thousand Year Boat, Wu Feng commanded softly, glanced at Qin Bai behind him, and then took the lead in jumping into the river.
This river is not the first time to cross, the sound of 'poof' entering the water behind him is one after another, Wu Feng swims in the front, there is still a distance of seven or eight meters from the opposite bank, but he always has a faint feeling of uneasiness for some reason.
"Ah, help me, save ......"
His intuition was confirmed, and Wu Feng hurriedly turned around with a shock in his heart, only to see a hurricane team member being dragged under the water, followed by blood rolling.
"Everybody, get ashore!"
Seeing what was under the water, Wu Feng shouted loudly while swimming back to the last Tailong team member, and in the process, several more screams rang out from the hurricane detachment.
Qin Bai was shocked, his hands and feet slipped and swam desperately towards the opposite bank, where could he still control his subordinates who were dragged into the water.
After a few minutes, the screaming finally stopped, and the blood had already been washed away without a trace, and the river flowed slowly as if nothing had happened.
They sat on the shore, their chests heaving violently from exhaustion, and they were still terrified by fear.
With extremely serious eyes, Wu Feng hurriedly checked, and when he was sure that no one in the Tailong detachment was dragged into the water, he let out a long sigh. If on land, a mere serrated crocodile is not to be feared, but now underwater, even he is not completely sure.
Wu Feng just wanted to sit down and rest for a while, but Qin Bai rushed over with fire in his eyes.
"Wu Feng, you are a good means!"
Looking at Qin Bai like a mad dog, Wu Feng smiled coldly and ignored it, leaning against the tree to close his eyes and recuperate, but at this time, He Kui walked over with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Catch thieves and stolen goods, catch traitors and catch doubles, Captain Qin doesn't want to spew blood!"
Seeing that Wu Feng ignored him, Qin Bai turned his anger to He Kui.
"Hmph, then why do you say that I killed six of my men and you were unscathed?"
He Kui shrugged his shoulders and pointed his index finger upward.
"God knows!"
"You ......"
looked at the indifferent Wu Feng, and then at He Kui, who was smiling lightly, Qin Bai's sleeved robe flicked away one after another.
His eyes slowly opened, and Qin Bai's angry and aggrieved back made Wu Feng shake his head slightly, and then looked at the slowly flowing river, and a pair of sword eyebrows frowned.
"Captain, how could the Sawtooth Crocodile appear here? Could it really be that Qin Bai was retribution?"
He Kui also put away his banter and squatted beside Wu Feng.
"I don't know, tell me to be more careful, I'm afraid this trip is not so simple. ”
Retribution is an unfounded statement, Wu Feng shook his head slightly, the river under his feet made him both familiar and unfamiliar.
Hunters, with the sky as the quilt and the earth as the seat, have long been accustomed to life and death after going through danger and hardship. After resting for a while, everyone gradually regained their strength, and the fear in their hearts weakened a lot.
Wu Feng stood up with the trunk of the tree, and at this time there was a sticky feeling from his fingertips.
"Resin!"
Rubbing his fingertips and then putting it on the tip of his nose and sniffing, Wu Feng looked up at the sky, it was not a few hours before the light disappeared, and the forest must not be like outside.
"Collect resin and make torches. ”
The deeper you go into the woods, the more humid it gets, and a small twist of fire can't light a bonfire. The members of the Tailong detachment tore out pieces of their clothes, stained them with resin, and wrapped them around the half-meter-long, wrist-thick tree bars.
Seeing that the Tailong detachment was in full swing, the came to Qin Bai's side, but the latter was still occupied by anger.
"Captain, let's light the torches too?"
"Prepare a fart!"
......
Outside, the sun was hanging in the sky, and the forest was like evening, and the light that had finally passed through the layers of branches and leaves was absorbed by the mist.
After the preparations, Wu Feng wiped the broken stone sword and prepared to set off, and at this time, Qin Bai walked in front of him with the people of the Hurricane detachment, and when the two were side by side, the latter's eyes were still full of poisonous resentment.
When he first entered the forest, Qin Bai chose to hide behind to avoid risks, but he didn't expect to encounter a catastrophe, and the team lost one-third, and he wouldn't make the same mistake twice.
Watching the people of the Hurricane detachment take the lead, Li Da spat and spit.
"Captain, let them go ahead?"
Wu Feng looked indifferent and smiled slightly.
"Do you know which clouds have rain? Let the brothers be more careful, let's go!"
......
The Hurricane detachment was in front, and the Tailong detachment was behind, continuing to move towards the set goal, because of the sawtooth crocodile matter, both detachments were extremely careful, even if it was a familiar place, when they passed by, they first explored the way and then passed, and did not dare to act rashly.
There's a cave in it. After passing through the cave, Wu Feng subconsciously touched his arms, because he was the iron tool he found here.
Although it is a pile of scrap iron, Wu Feng always carries the iron close to him after the fight, and only puts it under the pillow when he sleeps, maybe he still retains a glimmer of hope.
After two hours, the sky gradually darkened, and according to the original plan, this hour had almost reached the vicinity of the spirit deer's lair, but due to the increased vigilance, the speed of the team was greatly reduced. The night belonged to the beast, and both Wu Feng and Qin Bai chose to camp and rest.
Having entered the relatively deep woods, where there are few places to build "small houses", these are not difficult problems for hunters.
The team members took out ropes one after another, some climbed the trunk of the tree to wrap left and right, and some directly tied knots and tied them on two trees not far away, and the "soft beds" were quickly compiled, of course, the boundary between the Tailong detachment and the hurricane detachment still existed.
After a period of busyness, the light had blurred to the limit, Li Da and He Kui came to Wu Feng's side, and the three of them discussed something in a soft voice. They were attacked by wolves last night, and they were afraid that they would not be able to live in peace tonight, you know, Qin Bai had six of his men dead.
However, at this moment, the unpredictable rain clouds fell on the heads of the hurricane team again, and one of the hurricane team members screamed and fell from the soft bed on the branches, and what was even more shocking was that the big living man was a pile of white bones in the blink of an eye.
The screams were followed by a creeping sound, and a thick black began to rapidly descend from the surrounding trees.
The incident happened suddenly, everyone was stunned, and after a while, I don't know who was the first to wake up, but he was obviously completely consumed by fear.
"Man-eating ants!"
