Chapter 50: The Law of the Jungle
The person who led the hunting team in Miao Village this time was named Luan Ji, who was a good hunter in the village, and there were fifteen other hunters, all of whom were men, plus one Qiuxin.
Luan Ji is in his thirties, tall, carrying a longbow behind him, and is more enthusiastic about Qiu Xin, and the rest of the people don't have a good attitude towards Qiu Xin, and they are in pairs.
In the swampy jungle forty or fifty miles southwest of Miao Village, it is the place where they often hunt, and then go out, it is very dangerous, and the elderly hunters generally do not go there.
Qiu Xin followed the hunting team, it was to pass through the swamp, and after walking more than fifty miles, he would reach the four ring mountains that Liuyu said, in order to avoid trouble, Qiu Xin rarely spoke, and followed silently along the way.
It was nearly dusk, and the group finally walked to the swamp, and the rest of the hunters were naturally tired because they had carried hunting equipment and walked more than forty miles.
But Qiu Xin was relaxed, and the forty or fifty miles of footsteps were very easy, and they helped them a lot when they set up camp, and these hunters became a little enthusiastic about Qiu Xin.
In the Miao village, Qiu Xin is an outsider, the Miao people are far from the Central Plains since ancient times, and naturally they don't have much good impression of the Central Plains people, plus Qiu Xin had angered six witch doctor disciples in the small courtyard before, so they had a sense of hostility towards Qiu Xin.
Now Qiu Xin has not done anything bad to them, these hunters are away all the year round, and they have a bold temperament, and they gradually get acquainted with Qiu Xin after coming and going.
When they knew that Qiu Xin was going to the Sihuan Mountain, their eyes widened and they looked a little incredulous, they lived here, so they naturally understood the danger.
Qiu Xin didn't seem to be much better than them, and going to the Fourth Ring Mountain was simply a suicide path, and someone immediately persuaded him.
"Brother Yin, listen to me, we Miao people don't dare to say it. However, our understanding of the Great Wilderness is still far greater than that of your Central Plains people, and our hunting is mainly around Wushan.
If the year changes, there are fewer prey here, and if we want to go to the southwest, we will also bypass the Sihuan Mountain, and there will be hunters in the village for generations. No one has ever dared to enter the Fourth Ring Mountain. ”
The person who spoke was named Qiankuque, his eyes were small, but he was shining, and he seemed to be very clever, and there was no more xenophobia for Qiu Xin between the words, Qiu Xin picked up a lit branch and leaned in front of him.
"I didn't go to the Four Rings Mountain to hunt, no matter how dangerous. I always have to go, and if you have any experience in the mountains, I would appreciate it. ”
The knowledge of the Sihuan Mountain is only heard from the mouth of the Liuyu, and now these hunters are experienced, if they know any shortcuts or the like, they will save a lot of trouble.
But I am not very afraid of the danger. The Miao people have not practiced martial arts for generations, and hunting also relies on brute strength. Qiu Xin asked himself if he could still do it by relying on his martial arts.
Qiankuque groaned slightly, and then heard a person next to him interject, "Qiansankou, you are mistaken, people want to go to Sihuan Mountain." Naturally, you have the ability, and you don't dare to go with those two brushes, and what experience can you have. ”
Qiu Xin threw the branch out of his hand and looked up. The person who spoke seemed to have seen it outside the small courtyard that day, but his attention was all on the body of the Iris Dai and the others at that time, and he didn't pay attention.
Luan Ji clapped his hands and said, "Our understanding of the Sihuan Mountain is also very limited, and we can't talk about any experience, but we also know that the Sihuan Mountain will be shrouded in dense fog for half of a month, and the road is difficult to see."
Therefore, if you want to enter the mountain, you must enter when the fog clears, and there is another point, that is, the miasma in the fourth ring mountain is very easy to ignite, and the open flame cannot illuminate the road.
Regardless of other dangers, the mountain is steep alone, and if you are not careful, you may lose your life, and the previous hunters all said that the Sihuan Mountain is dead, and if the Yin brothers encounter any danger, it is important to save their lives. ”
Qiu Xin nodded gratefully, what Luan Ji said had already helped Qiu Xin a lot, at least if he had a little understanding of Sihuan Mountain, the greater the chance of picking sequoia fruits.
The hunters of Miao Village are experienced, and the camping sites selected are also very particular, but they are higher in all directions, but not the highest place, the fire is very bright, and the ordinary beasts dare not approach.
There was nothing to do all night, and when it was dawn, Qiu Xin was like a few people saying goodbye and setting off, his body was light, and there was a shadow, and the stream was broken, and the wind was a superb light skill, a short distance of fifty miles, if nothing happened, it would be possible to arrive in half a day.
But he only cared about asking about the situation of the Sihuan Mountain, but ignored it in this jungle, thinking that the people of Miao Village were not in danger, and he would be fine.
However, the experience accumulated by the Miao people for thousands of years will not be child's play, and his light skills are not like birds and birds that can move by the wind, at most they can only volley more than ten zhang in the air, and they will be exhausted.
After more than ten zhang, he had to stop and borrow, but it was this borrowing that made Qiu Xin have a big headache.
Later, I met the swampy land, the shadows of the trees were almost invisible, and the water and soil intersected between the swamps.
Often stepping on it, thinking it was the ground, but he would sink deeply, and after a while, his clothes were stained with black mud and a foul smell.
Fortunately, the swampy land is not very large, and Qiu Xin came out safely after a lot of effort, dried his clothes with true qi, and the soil that had dried into scabs fell down one by one.
As soon as I looked at the weather, it was already noon, and it was very quiet everywhere, not even the sound of animals, and it seemed that the scenery was the same everywhere, and the trees were even more similar.
If the trees are not tall and you can still see the sun, then every once in a while, Qiu Xin has to climb the treetops to identify the direction, and as the walking distance lengthens, the trees gradually become taller.
The broad-leaved trees that cover the sky and the sun make the jungle very dark, and there are also the terrible cries of unknown animals, which are very terrifying, coupled with the feeling of humidity and stuffiness, which makes people's hearts unbearable.
Qiu Xin felt that he was a person who could endure loneliness very much, and he was silent for ten days and a half on Qingsang Mountain, pondering sword moves, and became scared as soon as he went down the mountain.
In the past, I was accompanied by Xiaobai, although I couldn't speak, but I had more fun, but today I was only in the jungle for half a day, and I felt that my mouth and throat were dry and unbearable.
At this moment, there was a loud and earth-shaking sound from the front, and the sound became louder and louder, shaking off the leaves of the trees and spilling them down.
The sound got closer and closer, and Qiu Xin jumped up, clinging to the trunk of the tree, ten feet above the ground, but his vision was still separated by layers of trees, and it was difficult to see what was happening.
Feeling that the whole earth was shaken, the next moment, Qiu Xin was shocked by the scene in front of him, first the deer, rabbits, lemurs, and other animals rushed in unison thinking about the direction they came from.
Then the jackals, tigers and leopards, but not at the things in front of them, more like being driven down by the things behind them, and there are towering giant apes mixed in it, the scene of ten thousand beasts running is very spectacular.
Qiu Xin was glad that he had climbed the tree and hidden, otherwise he would definitely not be able to stand it under the impact of the beast tide, but he didn't wait long for him to be happy.
I saw that behind the herd of beasts, there was a black press, overwhelming, dense, this thing to chase, Qiu Xin couldn't be more familiar, it was a group of ghost-eyed silkworms.
At this time, there are so many of them, the ghost-eyed silkworm driven by the gray-clothed man that Yuansheng saw on the bank of the River of Tears at the beginning, the oily green eyes are cold and ruthless, as long as there is an animal that runs slowly, it will be swarmed by the ghost-eyed silkworm later, leaving only white skeletons, still steaming.
Qiu Xin didn't have time to think about it, jumping between the big trees, three points faster than this beast, if it wasn't for the river of tears blocking the ghost-eyed silkworm, his fate might be a white bone.
Now there are so many ghost-eyed silkworms, as long as they are caught up, even if they have sky-high martial arts, they will also die, and now only by returning to the swamp can they get rid of the silkworm group behind them.
The maddening sound of flapping wings resounded through the heavens and the earth, and some animals ran as hard as they could, but they did not dare to stop, preferring to die on a tree rather than suffer the pain of devouring flesh.
For a while, behind the herd, the bones were covered with bones, until the swamp was approaching, and the group of ghost-eyed silkworms seemed to have eaten a full meal and began to return the way they came.
At this time, it was also the beginning of another killing, and the ghost-eyed silkworm drove all the animals from the forest to the swamp, which was a good place for jackals, tigers and leopards to feed.
Before those weak animals could be freed from the joy of life and death, they were torn apart by other beasts and became a delicacy in their bellies, which was extremely miserable.
Qiu Xin watched all this from a distance, and couldn't bear it, although it was the law of the jungle, the rules of heaven and earth, but it was too cruel, the white tiger closest to him was long, and the fierce light in his eyes was great, and a small deer in front of him began to tremble, and it was a dead end to the left and right, so he could only turn around and throw himself into the swamp.
The white tiger had already thought of this, jumped forward, and instantly heard a hiss, and the white tiger bit the deer in its mouth, and the flesh and blood were blurred under the tearing.
Under the victory of the white tiger, he looked up to the sky and roared, completely forgetting the fear of being chased by the ghost-eyed silkworm, and the autumn heart floated lightly, and sat on his back when the white tiger roared.
The white tiger jumped upward, with a thousand strengths, Qiu Xin firmly grasped his hair, and the white tiger was even more angry under the pain, and rushed towards the entire herd.
Qiu Xin was immovable, if he was running wildly under the herd of beasts, he might still be afraid, but now that the beasts were exhausted, he had no strength to fight again.
The four-colored true qi in the palms of Qiu Xin's hands surged, patting on the white tiger's back, neck, and forehead, causing bursts of hissing, struggling for a long time, the white tiger finally stopped, his limbs were weak, and he fell to the ground, snorting to blow up the dust on the ground.
At this time, the other beasts saw that the white tiger was exhausted, and if it was in the past, they naturally did not dare to fight the tiger's might, but at this time, they were bold and slowly approached Qiuxin's side, and they actually took the white tiger as their prey.
Qiu Xin sighed in his heart, his actions were really stupid, and he was dissatisfied with the white tiger eating the fawn, so he wanted to tame it, and then the white tiger became a weak person again, what should he do? )
