Chapter 412 Poisonous Insect Nest
PS: [Thanks to the great rewards of the 'Yiyitian', thanks to the 'days without you', 'Bingfeng Huanshang', 'Zunshi', for casting precious monthly tickets! Thank you!]
Looking at the corpses of snakes, insects, rats and ants all over the ground, Xia Yuxin unconsciously leaned against Fang Shi, while Li Shuya was very excited to pull the corpses with wooden sticks, looking for scorpions and centipedes that were big enough among these corpses, like treasure hunting, and cheering happily from time to time.
"Do you want to collect some and take them away? These can be used as medicine?"
Lou Jingzhong kicked a huge black spider with his toes. This guy looked a little creepy in his furry look.
"No, we have to stay outside for a while. How can we have time to deal with these things? Besides, are you short of money?"
"This is not a question of whether or not money is money," Lou Jingzhong rolled his eyes at Fang Shi with dissatisfaction: "This is a matter of principle and attitude, and the attitude of doing everything for the best of your belongings and being thrifty."
Fang Shi raised his hand: "Okay, okay, if you want to recite it, you can collect it. I don't recommend it anyway."
Xia Yuxin looked at the dispute between the two men with some amusement. She was definitely standing by Fang Shi's side, why are you doing this in your heart?
Lou Jingzhong looked at him with some regret, shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'm leaving with a very heavy back, I'm leaving."
Li Shuya picked up a few huge insects and quickly threw them into his backpack, preparing to wait for lunch to deal with it slowly. This thing is really worth a lot of money. If the corpses on this place are exchanged for money, it would be quite considerable.
After Lou Jingzhong walked around and confirmed that there was no suspicious place, everyone started the road again and the speed also accelerated a lot.
Four days later, they came to a rather narrow valley with steep hills on both sides, dense plants in the canyon, and significantly higher temperatures than other places, and the soil was quite wet. This place is also a place where insects and ants are active.
In Fangshi's view, this is the dragon cave in Feng Shui, where several dragon veins intersect and branches. Where the luck gathers, such a place is naturally very conducive to the growth of animals and plants.
But for Fang Shi and the others, this is a big trouble, and it really takes some effort to pass through this valley smoothly.
"Cangshi, the map is very consistent with the map. Look, this slightly cornered line here is almost exactly the same as the trend of the valley. If that's right, passing through this valley should be the destination. It's hard to imagine how the ancestors of the Li family chose such a steep and secret place to live in."
Fang Shi smiled and said, "When the war came, they were afraid that they would not run far enough. They would not hide strictly enough. Is this difficult to understand? In fact, your Lou family is hiding nearby?"
Lou Jingzhong smiled awkwardly: "We can only walk from the hillside. The plants in the valley are too dense. It would be a big project to open a road. And there must be a large number of snakes and insects under the plants."
Xia Yuxin also nodded and said, "According to the animal community theory, there must be many animals on the hillside. This is a hunting ground for foraging."
Everyone nodded.
The hillside is actually not easy to walk, not only because it is steep, but more importantly, there are also vigorous vegetation on the hillside. Clusters of shrubs have become stumbling blocks in front of them. Below these shrubs, there are a large number of small animals living in the area. Each shrub is like a small animal tribe, and Fangshi and others are destroyers. Therefore, it is inevitable to be counterattacked by snakes and insects.
So they were going forward and fighting with snakes, insects, rats and ants. Fortunately, these insects and ants were not united, otherwise the insects and ants in the entire valley would mobilize them. Not to mention the few of them, even ten times more people would have to kneel down.
After a journey of less than two thousand meters, the four of them walked from the morning to the setting sun. When Lou Jing cut down the last bush and a handful of deworming medicine drove away the rushing insects, the scene in front of them suddenly became clear. There was a gourd valley in front of them, which coincided with the shape on the map. It seemed that this place was right.
"It's completely different from the aerial map. Judging from the aerial map, it's a hillside, but in fact it's a small basin. This optical illusion is really interesting."
Fang Shi's voice sounded beside Lou Jingzhong, and then Xia Yuxin and Li Shuya also walked over from the gap in the bushes. They were also surprised to see this large basin.
“What a beautiful view!”
Xia Yuxin is a girl after all, and she is always emotional. After she said this, Fang Shi and Lou Jingzhong discovered that this basin is really beautiful, full of green and quiet environments, and birds flying in the valleys. This is like a lost state that is independent of the world.
"It's really beautiful, but it's full of danger."
Fang Shi said, took out the map and looked carefully for a while, pointing to the northwest direction: "Where to go, if that's right, there should be a pool there, and there is a cave behind the pool."
Lou Jingzhong began to explore the way forward without saying a word. The place where Fangshi pointed was not far, at most about one thousand meters. In fact, the longest diameter of this mountain basin is only more than one thousand meters, and the short direction may be less than a thousand meters. It is hard to imagine how the people from the old village of Lijia survived with such a large place.
Perhaps they did not mainly farming, but hunting for a living. There might be more prey in that era.
Lou Jingzhong took a few steps, then turned around with a wry smile and said, "There are too many insects and snakes, everyone should be careful. This place has really become a paradise for snakes and insects."
"It's not surprising. It's surrounded by mountains and the climate is warm. It is not only suitable for snakes and insects, but also attracts snakes and insects from other places to spend the winter. There are even large animals. Everyone should be careful."
When Li Shuya heard Fang Shi say this, she subconsciously tightened the dog-leg knife in her hand, and Xia Yuxin also clenched the wooden stick in her hand vigilantly.
Although the target is within sight, you have to be very careful whenever you move forward. Everyone seems to be moving forward step by step, and it is getting dark. It is not a big deal to continue like this.
"Stop, use magic. This won't work. If we haven't found a suitable campsite before dark, it would be a little bad."
Fang Shi stopped Lou Jingzhong and decided to use magic to solve the problem.
Everyone stopped, Fang Shi pointed to several directions. Everyone stood up according to Fang Shi's requirements. Li Shuya was particularly excited. This was a real spell cast! He was still able to participate in it. Now he was dizzy and his hands and feet were trembling. It should be because the adrenal glands were secreted too vigorously.
Fangshi stood in the west direction. This direction was very strange. It was not towards the basin, but towards the steep hillside and forests. However, Lou Jingzhong dared not say anything about Fangshi's choice, but Xia Yuxin knew very well that Fangshi was facing Jingmen in the entire basin. He had to use the characteristics of Jingmen to influence the entire valley.
Fang Shi slowly penetrated his mental power into the wolf god's pupils in his chest. Until the self-stimulation of his mental power reached its peak, just as the mental power rushed out of the wolf god's pupils, Fang Shi shouted lightly: "Lin!"
"boom!"
It seemed like a thunderbolt from the sky, and the entire valley was shaken. Li Shuya looked demented. He was frightened by the thunder. It took him a long time to come back to his senses and stared at the stone not far away in front of him. He could not have imagined that a person's voice could be so huge.
In fact, this is not caused by the sound of Fangshi at all, but is formed by the violently transformed yin and yang energy, which is the same as the lightning in nature.
Then, a jaw-dropping scene of his scalp tingling appeared in front of everyone. The basin, which was originally covered with bushes and dense forests, was green. There were still a few scales in the sun, but after the thunder, the grass suddenly turned black and brown, and a surging sound of a tide sounded, and then the black tide rushed towards the steep hillside.
Li Shuya trembled all over as countless insects and ants passed by not far away and rushed towards the hillside behind him. He felt weak all over and felt a little unstoppable. So many insects and snakes were really scary. The big guys in his backpack could only be considered small here. Thinking of the scene where these insects submerged him, Li Shuya had the urge to turn his head and escape.
"Oh ~" The hunting dog made a strange cry, and its hair exploded. Lou Jingzhong hurriedly hugged the hunting dog to prevent it from running around.
"Don't move."
Fang Shi made a sound at the right time, awakening Li Shuya, who was completely in panic. His teeth were still clattering, and his body was shaking uncontrollably, but his feet were nailed to the ground tightly and he didn't dare to move.
The air was filled with a strong fishy smell. Xia Yuxin closed her eyes tightly, but the smells stubbornly penetrated into her nostrils, causing various terrible scenes to appear in her mind. She really hated snakes and insects, let alone the overwhelming number. If Fang Shi was by her side, she would definitely hide in Fang Shi's arms without hesitation. But now she could only grit her teeth and stand still, fearing that she would attract attacks from insects and ants as soon as she moved.
The black tide spread around and finally disappeared into the woods on the hillside. The rustling sound disappeared, and a mountain wind blew by, taking away the last bit of fishy smell.
"I...Damn!" Fang Shi couldn't help but swear. This was really a little scary. How could so many snakes and insects live here? This is simply a poisonous insect nest!
"Have Fang Shi, have they all gone?"
Xia Yuxin asked with her eyes closed. Fang Shi nodded, then found that Xia Yuxin had her eyes closed and said with some amusement: "I've left, now I can open my eyes."
"My God." Li Shuya screamed in surprise and fell to the ground. Then he remembered something again, jumped up from the ground suddenly, and patted his chest with lingering fear: "I'm scared to death, I'm scared to death!"
Seeing Li Shuya so scared, Xia Yuxin felt that she was not that scared. She let out a heavy sigh and slowly moved to Fang Shi: "Why, why are there so many poisonous insects? We have entered the nest of poisonous insects?"
Fang Shi looked at Xia Yuxin who pretended to be calm. Her pale face and calm expression looked really fun.
"Maybe this is the nest of poisonous insects."
Fang Shi said half true and half false, and Xia Yuxin's face turned pale.
