Chapter 15 Hidden winged insects

Finally I know what Wen Mo refers to. It is cloudy now, and the thick clouds cover the sun! In other words, there is no sunshine at all, so there is no way to shine the shadow of the mountain. If that is the case, then what is the darkness in the river that I regard as the shadow of the mountain!

There is only one possibility, and there is a huge stretch of something hidden under the river. I say it is extremely long, not an exaggeration.

Because the black shadows under the river meandered from the corners of the mountains ahead along the river. When I turned around and looked behind me, the black shadows in the river were still extending to the distance and disappeared at another turning point of the river.

I finally understood why Wen Mo said that just now. As he said, the secret below will be highlighted only if the water level drops. Because even if the current river water level is at its lowest level in fifty years, if Wen Mo had not reminded us, we would still not see it. According to this situation, as long as the water level rises a few dozen centimeters a little, the things under the water will be completely hidden.

Following this idea, I seem to be able to guess why Uncle Second, Yuan An and others chose to come here at this time. Maybe now is the best time.

I was thinking, and Yuanxiao was still shouting, "Why didn't I see anything?" Anaduo in front of me was also looking and shook his head, but Wen Mo seemed to have no intention of continuing to explain, so he turned to look at the other side of the suspension bridge.

I waved my hand to Lanxiao, "Hey! Stop talking nonsense! Look at that!" As I said that, I also pointed to the black shadow that appeared under the water.

But Lantern Festival is the same as when I first glanced at it, and I didn’t react at all. Sometimes it is difficult for people to jump out of it with inertial thinking.

I pointed to the black shadow that appeared on the water and said, "That's not a shadow at all!"

As soon as I finished speaking, Anaduo reacted faster than Lantern Festival, and his face immediately changed, "It's true! What is that? It seems to be underwater!"

At this time, Yuanxiao also reacted, looked at us and said, "Damn! What is that?"

Wen Mo didn't say anything, as if he was thinking about something in a daze. I could only murmur: "Who knows what this is!"

Yuanxiao looked at the other side, "Are we looking for a place to dive into the water and take a look?"

When I heard this, I felt it was inappropriate and quickly stopped him, "Don't, with the lesson from the Stone Man just now, this place is not simple, so we should be more cautious."

Yuanxiao nodded and asked Annaduo: "Sister, when you pass this suspension bridge, where will this road lead? Does it lead directly to the mountains?"

Anado shook his head, "After crossing this bridge, there is a forest protection station on the top of the white stone in front. After passing the forest protection station, and then climbing over the mountain, there are several families on the opposite hillside, and there is a village at the foot of the mountain. If you follow this road further north, you will enter the county town."

"Ah?" Yuanxiao looked inside along the suspension bridge, "After a long time, this road is not a way to enter the mountain, but a way to exit the mountain?"

Wen Mo, who had never participated in our discussion, suddenly asked, "Where is the river going further inside?"

Anado was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Oh, are you asking the direction of Caibu River?" As she said that, she raised her hand and pointed, "Walking in the Baishiding, it is Xueyanping, and then continuing to move forward is Tengmen Mountain. Xueyanping is already rarely visited, with dense jungles and extremely complex environment. Tengmen Mountain is basically the hinterland of 100,000 mountains. It is a typical rainforest area. Towering trees cover the sky and the sun cannot shine into the forest at all. It is wet and dark, with various poisonous snakes and beasts entrenched in it, and there is also the most deadly miasma. Once you encounter that kind of thing, you will never survive. It is a forbidden zone for humans. It is said that no one who enters there can come out alive. Even the most experienced old hunter is unwilling to get close to that place."

Wenmo nodded.

Looking at the depths of the mountain with a slightly misty mist in the distance, I couldn't help but feel a little confused. Suddenly, a gust of mountain wind blew, and the suspension bridge began to shake violently again. I was so scared that I quickly grabbed the iron chains on both sides, "I said, everyone, if we have something to do, let's talk about it, okay! It's not conducive to thinking when talking here!"

So the four of us walked straight across the suspension bridge and walked forward along the mountain road for a while. The mountain road hovered along the mountain and then meandered to the north.

We stopped here. According to Anaduo, this mountain road is the closest to the depths of the 100,000 mountains. If you want to walk in, there will be no road. Here we have to go down the road, then walk along the mountain road, and we will go out.

We leaped into the dense bushes on the roadside, and walked forward while waving our knife to cut off the intertwined branches and vines.

Our idea was to go along the river and arrive at Xueyanping first. Because according to the description of Annaduo's father to us, I speculate that the location of the valley he accidentally entered at that time should be located at the transition from Baishiding to Xueyanping. Of course, I would not tell Annaduo these ideas, after all, we promised her father that these things should be kept secret for him.

Because the woods are very dense, we can't see the situation outside at all. Fortunately, our location is not far from the river, so we can clearly hear the sound of the river flowing. At the same time, we also use this to guide us.

During the process, Annado reminded us to be careful of mosquitoes and poisonous snakes. Fortunately, we prepared insect-proof and mosquito-repellent in advance. Yuanxiao and I sprayed a lot of exposed areas on our bodies, and sprayed Wenmo again. I asked Annado if she wanted it, but she waved her hand and reached out to take out some plants with purple buds from her bag, squeezed out some juice, and then applied it to her neck, face and hands.

I looked curious and asked, "Sister, what are you using?"

Anado smiled and said, "This is called Ziding Dragon Sprout Grass, also called Verbena." The Lantern Festival next to him immediately came over, "Verbena? I have heard of this. When I watch movies, people use this kind of thing to deal with vampires!" Yuanxiao deliberately opened his eyes, "Sister, can we fight vampires later?"

I knew that Lantern Festival was stinking again, so he felt uncomfortable if he was not poor for a while. Anadu glanced at him, "No common sense at all. This dragon bud grass is a medicinal herb that can be used to deworm and detoxify. How about it? Do you want to do some?"

I waved my hand, "No need, we all prepared powerful insect repellent water and mosquito repellent. Mosquitoes within a radius of ten meters cannot enter, it's okay!"

Anado sneered, "Your chemical preparations are just like that. After a while, they reach the depths of the woods and they don't work at all."

Yuanxiao put the antiworming medicine in his hand into his bag, "You have to believe in modern science."

Anado snorted coldly, "Don't beg me if you get bitten later!" After that, he walked straight forward.

Wen Mo walked in the front, chopping the branches with a short knife to open the way for us. We followed the sound of the water flow, looked for the route we could go, and slowly approached the river.

Many branches in the woods are entangled and intertwined. Due to the competition for nutrients and sunlight, many branches have withered and rotten. In such places, sometimes you cut down with one knife, it is like stabbing a hornet's nest. Countless insects will fly out of it in a flash. I wonder if the deworming water on our bodies is really effective. These flying insects all escaped in all directions and did not impact us.

Then Lantern Festival said to An Naduo with some pride: "How about it, this modern chemical preparation is also effective. There are so many insects, no one dares to approach me!"

Yuanxiao was showing off, and suddenly a bug that was not giving face turned out to be against Yuanxiao on purpose. It fell from somewhere and fell on his wrist with a bang. The bug's body was black, swinging its tentacles and tail, as if it was demonstrating to Yuanxiao.

Yuanxiao suddenly felt like she was slapped in the face and said angrily: "Hey, there is really such a life-and-death person!" As he said that, he raised his hand and patted the insects.

Anado immediately shouted: "No!"

But it was too late, and Yuanxiao was faster. The insect was beaten to death by Yuanxiao. At the same time, a stream of yellow water flowed out. Yuanxiao looked at An Naduo with a shocked expression and bounced the corpse of the insect on his hand to the side, "What's wrong? Can this insect bit me?"

An Naduo looked at him strangely and did not speak. At the same time, Yuanxiao's face changed and she screamed "ah" "It hurts so much! This kind of insect is poisonous!" Yuanxiao held his wrist tightly and screamed in pain.

At this time, his wrist was stained with the body fluids of insects, and a row of blisters the size of broad beans appeared, and the wound began to rot a little.

Yuanxiao sat on the ground all of a sudden, Anaduo stepped forward to support him, and then said to me: "Hurry up, help him leave here!"

We helped the Lantern Festival to the middle of a few trees on the side, and the Lantern Festival was still shouting.

An Naduo looked at Lantern Festival helplessly, "Is it a big man? Hold on!" After that, he turned around and went to the bag to search for something.

At this time, Wenmo came over, looked at Lanxiao's wound, and frowned slightly.

Seeing Wen Mo's expression, Yuanxiao immediately became a little nervous, "Boss, is it important for me to be injured? I won't die of poisoning!"

Wen Mo shook his head gently, "It doesn't matter, it's just that the body fluid of the hidden wingworm is corroded, it hurts a little. If you are not allergic, you will not die! It just looks disgusting!"

"Oh," Lanxiao then breathed a sigh of relief, "But it didn't hurt a little, it really hurts!"
