The monster bit the food happily, then stretched its neck that was connected to its body to swallow it. Blood dripped from the jagged tips of its teeth.

When he wanted to repeat his same trick and pull off a piece of minced meat, he suddenly turned his head and looked directly in the direction of Du Heng and the others. The black vertical pupils in the turbid yellow eyes almost formed a line, making any man or beast confused.

You can't put it in its eyes.

While he was swallowing the minced meat in his mouth, tears of compassion seemed to be shed in his dim yellow eyes. His tears fell down to the side of the kiss, like pot water flowing on the edge of the dark stove.

The onlookers felt disgusted when they saw this scene.

"This, what kind of monster is this..." Ma Wu, the bravest among the group, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and tightened his grip on the blunderbuss he had snatched.

"It's a 'cat', I didn't expect it to be so big..." Wu Youdong said.

"Is this kind of thing born to be so bloodthirsty and cruel?" Xue Feibai murmured.

"It shouldn't have anything to do with that. This thing has short hands and a flat body. It can't tear its prey into pieces, nor can it directly swallow prey several times its size. It can only break the prey into pieces before eating..."

Du Heng analyzed calmly as always, but she also really felt that there were many things in nature that were beyond the control of human beings. This feeling made her strange and frightened, and she didn't like it very much.

Looking at the turbid river water that had turned bright red and the dead Annan monkeys, Wu Youdong and his party felt that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time and let the remaining Annan people fend for themselves!

But before he could give the order to evacuate, a white light appeared in the black-red river water, as if a pot of thin noodles as long as a little finger had suddenly been put into the pot, and it surged.

If you have good eyesight and look carefully, you can see that they are a group of almost transparent small fish. Their organs are clearly visible, so when viewed from a distance, they look white.

The little whitebait seemed to be particularly sensitive to the smell of blood. It desperately dug into the broken corpses of the Annamites who had just died, feasted on it, and shared lunch with the giant cat.

They're wrong, and this is what's really disgusting.

Many people couldn't stand the stimulation and turned around to vomit acidic water on the ground. They even didn't want to think about the scene just now, and even dared not eat tomato noodles for a long time.

"Where do these little fishes come from!? Ugh—"

"Hey, I think I saw something swimming out of those piranha gills..." one of Wu Youdong's men said tremblingly.

Parasitism. This is the word that comes out of everyone’s minds in unison.

"Boss, I feel like I'm a little dizzy. Do you feel this way..." An officer blinked vigorously and shook his head desperately.

Ma Wu saw this and shouted: "Hurry up and cover your face with your face!"

I don't know when, but there was a thin mist in the forest again. Those who couldn't help but lift up their face masks and vomited could not help but inhale some of it. Not only did they feel dizzy, but their complexions also turned pale.

This is not fog at all, it is miasma!

"Quickly retreat!"

Wu Youdong calmly arranged the command along the way, so that every four people held a blunderbuss in their left and right hands to form a square team, so that anyone who fell behind would be noticed in time.

But as we returned along the original path, the invisible miasma became more and more fishy, ​​as if it were real.

Suddenly, a golden light exploded in the jungle shrubs, as bright as gold, and fell from the air for a moment. Gold particles poured out like pills, rushing down like a waterfall, and then disappeared into the air;

Suddenly, it is like a millstone cracking, like a rainbow, like clouds and like smoke, filled with five colors and overflowing with fragrance.

When Du Heng smelled this smell, he also felt dizzy and his eyes were blurry. However, if he fainted here, there would be no chance of survival!

She rubbed her swollen temples, pinched her palms hard, and quickly pressed several acupuncture points such as Jianjing, Zhangmen, and Zhongwan, letting the pain awaken her clear consciousness:

"Don't panic, everyone! We should have encountered the Miasma Mother. As long as we bypass this place, our lives will not be in danger!"

"Yes! Listen to Du Heng, cover your mouth and nose and try not to breathe!

There are many rocks and few trees here, it is wet and hot due to the rain and sun, plus the phlegm, saliva, and arrowheads of various poisons are mixed in, so the terrible river water just now is black and green;

As long as we leave the mother miasma here as soon as possible and go to a place covered by trees and trees, the miasma will disappear on its own!" Wu Youdong said.

Fortunately, the miasma here only had a peculiar smell, and was not a thick fog indistinguishable between humans and animals. Everyone listened to Wu Youdong's command, followed a place with dense trees, and moved quickly.

Everyone just rushed to a well-ventilated place, gasping for air with their mouths wide open, soothing their chests that were rising and falling violently until they were about to explode.

Just as he was about to count the number of people, Ma Wu shouted in panic: "Fellow, fellow! What's wrong with you!"

Ma Wu held up a man who was foaming at the mouth and laid him flat on the ground anxiously. Everyone turned around and saw that it was the clansman sent by Jinhua to guide them.

There was a wound on his arm made by Annan Monkey with a sharp blade. Although it was only a minor skin injury and was simply bandaged, the area around the wound was red and swollen, blood was constantly oozing out, his face was red, and he was talking nonsense intermittently.

He must have a fever, this miasma is so overbearing!

But this tribe is most familiar with the forest terrain. Without him, Wu Youdong and his party would not be able to get out at all...

Everyone unanimously stopped talking, and an anxious atmosphere slowly flowed among everyone like invisible lava. Although it was okay for the time being, no one knew when the critical eruption moment would come.

Even Wu Youdong himself felt a little regretful about going his own way and taking his subordinates on an adventure... And at this time, even Du Heng, who Xue Feibai had always thought was the calmest, seemed to be no longer calm.

For a while she squatted on the ground and didn't know what she was looking at. For a while she jumped high to reach the tree branches. For a while she raised her head to look at the dense sky blocked by leaves.

"Stop playing tricks, okay? When did this happen..." Xue Feibai tugged on Du Heng's sleeves anxiously.

Old God Du Heng took out his sleeves and said, "Don't panic, there are ways to identify the direction even in the wild -"

Wu Youdong nodded in agreement: "Du Heng is right, we entered the forest from the east, although the way here is a bit winding; but the return journey is always east, and we will definitely be able to get out of the forest before evening..."

The hope in everyone's hearts rises like the rising sun that must rise every day.

Xue Feibai: "Then how do you distinguish between east, west, south and north?"

Du Heng: "The simplest and most accurate way is to look at Polaris..."
