The air is salty and sweet, mixed with the smell of seawater. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The river split into two roads before their eyes, and Chris stopped the boat, and she left the decision of which way to go to Wang Xu. Yin Chen and Ning Yifei came to the stern of the boat, in the end, they were boys, and they were full of great curiosity about this strange ship. Chris explains how to control "Flying on the Grass".

Standing at the bow of the boat, Teng Chuliang took out the compass and looked at it at the map.

Hong Qili asked, "Brother Teng, do you know where we are at the moment?"

Teng Chuliang nodded and said, "Coming out along the waterway, the general direction should be to the east of Scorpion Island." The river flows west with the Blackwater River and eventually flows south into the bay. ”

Wang Shu looked at the direction of the boat and said, "This is all the way to the east." The river is narrow and surrounded by trees, so there is no way to go straight south. ”

The two roads in front of you are surrounded by trees on both sides of the riverbank. All the way is a towering cypress grove. These cypress trees have a unique appearance, the trunks and branches are covered with white moss, and the whole cypress tree has been eroded to a miserable white color, except for the brownish-green leaves at the top, and the other road is even more terrifying, with strange low shrubs growing on both sides of the shore, which are so dense that the scalp is numb, like a man-made fence. The trunk of the tree has been corroded by the salt in the water for many years, and the bark has been shed and bare, but the branches have many tender green leaves at the top, so dense that they completely cover the sky, and the smell of decay in the water makes the road full of death.

Teng Chuliang pointed out on the map and said, "We are in the appendage zone on the right side of 'Scorpion Island', but now the water has overflowed this narrow island, separating them into countless isolated islands, as long as we bypass here, we can return to Salmon Island." ”

Wang Shu thought about it again and again, but still chose the road where he could see the sky.

To Chris's surprise, Dumbo understands how quickly he can navigate a boat. When she set sail again, she let Ning Yifei sit in the driver's seat.

Ning Yifei hurriedly waved his hand: "This can't be helped." ”

Chris pressed him back into his seat and smiled, "What's the matter, I say you can drive it." ”

Hong Qili looked towards the stern of the boat and gave the two of them an affirmative look. Only then did Ning Yifei pull the operating lever and let the boat move slowly. Because the voice was very noisy, Chris gave a thumbs up to Hong Qili, as if to say: Xiaofei is great!

Hong Qili raised his eyebrows, and said silently in his heart: It's more stable than you.

Chris immediately expressed his displeasure and made a look of "That's the fun of 'boating!'"

At this moment, Hong Qili laughed, and said in his heart: I didn't expect that I could learn from my father-in-law and communicate with her like a heart.

As Ning Yifei drove more cautiously, the ship moved smoothly and gently, and further forward was still the vast and endless mysterious forest.

But before he had gone far, he was blocked by a huge dry trunk across the water, with tree trunks stuck in the dirt and moss growing on the branches.

When Wang Shu hesitated whether to turn the bow of the boat and go another way, Chang Yutong saw that most of the trunk of the tree was exposed on the water, and the water could be seen to the end at a glance, and it was obviously not deep, so he asked: "My lord, why don't you send someone to remove the dead wood trunk, and you don't have to go far on the road." ”

Wang Shu said angrily to Chang Yu: "This is Xue Ze, looking at the low lying of the stagnant water, I think it's okay? If you accidentally step into it, you will never get out again." ”

Serval Ze is a swamp, and there has long been a saying of "Ten Servals" in "Erya", which is a record of the ten mysterious swamps in the land of Qin and Han during the Warring States Period. Wang Shu is erudite and knowledgeable, and naturally knows the power of the swamp.

Chang Yutong was frightened, and hurriedly said: "I don't know." ”

"You've been on Salmon Island for all these years. ”

At some point, a dense cloud poured out, obscuring most of the sky, and the sunlight, which had just been sparsely glazed, soon lost its light, and the narrow jungle Zehe became suffocating in an instant, as if shrouded in a dark and dense black fog.

At this moment, there was a strange sound on the side of the dead tree, and everyone's eyes were drawn to it, and the water surface continued to ripple restlessly, and with the sound of the dry bark constantly being crushed and peeled off, a huge black figure climbed up the trunk. Where everyone focused, they saw that the monster was covered in rotting leaves and sludge, its large open mouth revealing sharp and sharp teeth, and the exposed back was covered with protrusions like particles, as if covered with scales, and it was ugly and unspeakable.

When Hong Qili looked at it, he knew that this was the water beast in the waterway just now.

It climbed over the trunk of the tree, flicked its huge tail fiercely, and stared at everyone with great ferocity.

Zi Ling's face turned pale, and his fingers trembled and pointed at the fierce water beast: "Water ...... Blame ......"

"Crocodile!" Chris called out as well.

Wang Xu raised his eyebrows, and laughed in his heart: This Ouyang Feng is really weird, sometimes he is very insightful and occasionally has amazing actions, but sometimes he seems to have no knowledge, he is obviously a dragon, how did he become a "bad fish"?

Behind the trunk of the tree, one or two crawled out...... More and more. Three or four of them also emerged from the water on both sides of the boat, and they formed a fan-shaped pincer and swam towards the boat quickly.

Flying on the grass is a boxy flat-bottomed boat, and I saw a water beast with teeth and claws on the edge of the boat, and it only took one bite to bite the boat out of a big hole. Teng Chuliang saw that the situation was urgent, and pounced on it, and a fiery palm wind hit its big mouth, this water beast has rough skin and thick flesh, not like a scorpion that is afraid of the heat in the palm wind, but fortunately, Hong Qili followed with a kick, kicked it over, rolled a few times on the water, and fell into the water.

The companion was injured, and the other water beasts were immediately enraged, and let out a loud snoring cry and attacked the ship.

Chris was shocked, how could this crocodile be so berserk, if they were to dismantle the boat and fall into the river, there would still be a life there. She immediately asked Ning Yifei to step aside, and grabbed the control lever herself.

"Hurry up!" Chris shouted, his tone was not negotiable, Chang Yutong was calmed by her sudden appearance, and his heart trembled: How can this little domestic servant be more magnificent than Lord Wang?

When everyone saw her start the boat, they immediately clung to the handrails on the boat.

As long as it had to do with the ship, Chris immediately became extremely brave. She first turned sideways, shook off the three crocodiles that tried to climb up to the port side, and then slammed back, hitting several large crocodiles that were following behind, this time the force was so great that the boat slammed into the ground, and the crocodiles were knocked to pieces, she took advantage of the situation to turn the boat half a circle, and the water splashed several feet high, and was spraying a few crocodiles that were still lying on the trunks of dead trees, and they were swept away by the river and jumped into the water.

Chris just turned the bow of the boat and headed in the opposite direction, speeding away.

The crocodiles couldn't keep up with the speed of the ship, so they had to stare wide-eyed and grinning in a hurry, and one by one they burrowed back into the swamp.

When he had fled far enough, Chris let out a sigh of relief and exclaimed in his heart, "Crocodile, flying on grass, swamp!" God, this is a joke, right? Are you sure I'm on Salmon Island in the Great Song Dynasty, not in Miami?

Exhausted by the torture of the scorpion queen, and experienced a thrilling escape, many people were already weak in their hands and feet at this time, coupled with violent bumps, they felt dizzy when they looked at the water.

The boat returned to the fork in the road and had no choice but to choose another way.

The waterway looked too strange, the crowded bushes were tangled together like spider legs, the branches were green, the roots were white, and the two semicircles, one green and one white, were joined together, and the ship seemed to have walked into a circular pipe. As soon as the boat got inside, a swampy smell of rotten eggs rushed towards it. When we got closer, we could see clearly that the roots of the trees that were entangled in the water were densely covered with small white shells, which made the roots look white. Presumably, due to the influence of the tides, the resurgence of the sea brought back the salty mud paddles and these white shells.

Chris steered carefully, trying not to let the boat touch the surrounding tree roots. Through the bushes, looking forward along the narrow waterway, the towering dead cypress trees on both sides were like curtains covering the background, a ray of sunlight penetrated through the gap in the curtain, and the boat gently pushed away the last barrier that blocked the view like a hand, and suddenly the eyes became open and bright, and almost everyone stood up unconsciously.

It is a vast swamp with half-man-tall sawgrass growing. The evening sun casts down from the distant clouds, like divine light, sprinkled on the boundless waters. The grass is crystal clear in the sun, schools of fish swim among the roots, occasionally leaping out of the water, and a string of bird footprints have just been left on the mud of the swamp, and the birds fly up, hovering and foraging for food, and finally stop at the top of the trees to enjoy dinner.

It's a place of nature.

Someone else has noticed something different here.

Chris saw that Hong Qili kept pointing in one direction, and she looked in the direction of her finger and found many black pointed wooden pillars towering into the sky, so she drove in that direction.

When they got closer, it was even more surprising that what appeared in front of everyone was a small island, on which a black thatched village was built. Chris watched with wide eyes and drove the boat over, and there was a small dock in front of the village, which had just stopped and flew on the grass.

Who built this village? Everyone is asking this question in their hearts.

Hong Qili and Teng Chuliang were still one step ahead, followed by the old man with green beard, Wang Xu, and Chang Yutong, and the others followed closely behind, and they walked along the dock with low wooden fences and wooden planks towards the gate of the village.

Xiong Daiying helped Chris tie the cable, Ning Yifei wanted to help the injured middle-aged man get off the boat, but who knew that the other party suddenly fell on him obliquely, he immediately sensed that something was wrong, and then used his finger to probe his nose, and there was no breath at all. Ning Yifei looked up at Chris and said, "He's out of breath!"

"Dead?"

Yin Chen also checked it, on the middle-aged man's arm, Tuwa had helped him Hu in the wound of a leaf fell down, and the wound that was originally pierced by the blue scorpion's ears turned black and blue. When he opened the bandage again, he found that both of his arms were blue-black.

"He had been dead for a while, and he had been poisoned to death. ”

Hearing what Doctor Zhang said, the faces of several female Taoist aunts changed greatly, and Mai Xiu, who was carried by Gao Liang'er, was also injured by the scorpion queen's hair. Huang Jingjing went up and probed her senior sister's forehead, "What should I do, senior sister's poison seems to have attacked!"

Mi Yu carried Bei Sanqi on his back, he sighed and said: "It's also very bad to look at, you quickly find a place for her to lie down, and the old man will show her." Then he said to Chris, "Brother Xiaoyi, you bring the body of the deceased with you, and the old man will also take a look to see if the poison can be found." ”

Xiong Daiying and Ning Yifei also carried the body of the middle-aged man off the boat.

Several people rushed in the direction of the village.

On the left and right of the gate are two black wooden pillars with spikes, painted with lines, which look solemn and full of mystery. Entering the gate, there was a circle of black pointed pillars standing in an empty square, and the remains of a cow's skull were hung on each wooden pillar. Looking through the fog, behind the square is a large black thatched house.

Chris looked at the strange hexagonal building and was shocked. Because it was built in a swamp, the dry-bar structure of the house was both moisture-proof and waterproof, and the builders also used local materials, using wood as columns, bamboo and planks after weaving as walls, roofing with thatch, the roof has a fork-type wind fighting board, and the ground is a staircase made of whole wood.

Wang Xuzheng sent people to explore the inside and outside of the village, Hong Qili and others saw Chris, asked about the situation, and quickly carried people into the village.

The expansive room was flooded with sunlight through the countless crevices in the woven bamboo walls. The floor was also divided by wooden planks, and the bamboo mats were braided, and in the middle of the room was a fire platform with unburned firewood and some ashes, and an iron pot was set up on it.

Placing Mai Xiu on the bamboo mat, Bie Sanqi and Mi Yu said, "Find some clean cloth and fetch some water." ”

"It seems to have been a place for people to heal the sick. The old man with the green beard pointed to the back of the room and said, "There are two ear chambers in the back, and there are many bottles and jars, and the old man has seen that most of them are herbs, which may come in handy, and there are some wooden pots in them that can draw water." ”

Nodding, Mi Yu and Gao Liang'er turned around and went busy.

Everyone didn't make a sound for a while, watching Bei Sanqi take Mai Xiu's pulse, Zi Ling and Huang Jingjing couldn't rest assured, and stayed by their senior sister's side.

Yin Chen stood in the room for a while, and then withdrew, he was not a genuine doctor Zhang, so naturally he couldn't see a doctor or detoxify. Fortunately, Zhang Changbei's reputation for being lonely and cold is outside, and everyone knows that he will not save people at will, so people naturally don't feel abnormal.

Ning Yifei also felt that he couldn't help, so he followed out.

Mai Xiu suddenly muttered, "Okay...... Cold ......"

Zi Ling pressed his hand to her cheek: "It's so hot!"

Such a high body temperature and still feel cold is enough to prove how bad the situation is.

Teng Chuliang walked to the edge of the fire pit and lit a bonfire with flint and steel.

Waiting for Mi Yu and Gao Liang'er to call Qingshui, Bei Sanqi turned his head and said, "Everyone, the old man wants to decompose and detoxify the injured, please avoid it." ”

Most of the people in the room were men, and the wound was on the arm, so it naturally needed to be avoided.

"If there's anything, just call it!" Before going out, Wang Shu added.

Chris was a man at the moment, so he had to retire with everyone.

At this time, the soldiers who were exploring the island turned around and said, "My lord, it has been found that there are no people on the island, but we have found other things. ”

Wang Xu followed the soldiers to the back of the village, and sure enough, as the old man with the green beard said, it was like a building like a medical hall, and there were many wooden frames for drying medicine outside the house.

The island was not large, only a single building, and when they went around the back, they stood on the shore and could see from afar that there were several islands of different sizes around the island, all of which were black thatched huts, some were low-slung single-storey round houses, and some were larger multi-storey hexagonal buildings than the one in front of them.

Xiong Daiying accompanied Chris along the narrow road, all the way to check the isolated islands in the swamp. When I got to the right side, I heard a low cry, which was the cry of the spirit.

Chris made a waiting gesture with Xiong Daiying, and then flew and jumped, and landed outside the right ear room, the window was only half closed, Chris pushed lightly, and saw Zi Ling.

"Sister Ling'er?"

Zi Ling heard a familiar voice outside the window calling for himself, wiped his tears, walked over, propped up the window, and when he saw the concerned face, tears flowed down his cheeks again, and he choked up and replied: "Xiao Yi...... Brother. ”

Chris looked at it, and there were indeed many medicine bottles in the ear room, and there were also herbs hanging on the wall.

"What's wrong?"

"Senior sister," Zi Ling's voice was hoarse, and he began to sobble in the middle of speaking.

Chris asked, "What's wrong with her? Isn't Bei Sanqi detoxifying your senior sister?"

"Don't say that the seniors have never seen such a fierce scorpion venom, senior sister is only afraid of the fierce and auspicious ......" Zi Ling walked in here to see what herbs he could find to detoxify and remove heat. But she was alone, and the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became, so she hid inside and cried silently.

Along the way, Chris discovers that the blue mineral on the rock face releases a unique heat energy that can be used as fuel as well as to power boats. I don't know how those scorpions stuck to their bodies and became extremely fierce, could it be that something had changed? If that's the case, this poison will definitely be difficult to solve.

Seeing her crying sadly, Chris didn't know what to advise, maybe it would be better to let her vent and cry at this time. Although I thought so, I saw the tears rolling down, but my hand unconsciously wiped it.

When his fingers touched his skin, Zi Ling was gratefully touched by the coldness, and said in surprise: "Brother Xiaoyi's hands are so cold!"

"Ice?" Chris went to shake her hand, only to find that his body temperature was much lower than that of Zi Ling.

Zi Ling's face turned red, and he quickly withdrew his hand.

Chris looked at her hands in a daze, her mind was spinning fast: last time I was poisoned by the Tang Sect, Mr. Zhizhi used the cold qi to help me suppress the poison, she raised her head and said to Zi Ling: "My cold ice qi may be able to help suppress the poison on your senior sister's body!"
