Chapter 035 Jungle Misfortune
Throughout the night, Tang En took two rookie subordinates and ran around, and elusively removed most of the pursuers' scouts.
As the old butler said first, Tang En had a unique feeling about hiding. In such an environment, the scouts had almost nowhere to hide. In the second half of the night, the other party's commander finally realized something, so he did not send scouts alone, but instead searched in a small team. Each team had more than ten people, with a distance of no more than a few dozen meters, and pulled a net to advance forward.
In this way, David and Mithur had to retreat. So the two changed from the practice mode that they started first to the observation mode, watching Tang En's sneak attack performance alone.
This night was painful and long for the scouts sent. Without knowing what the other party looked like, they found that their teammates were getting fewer and fewer... This feeling was desperate and frustrating. Even if they wanted to fight desperately, they could not find anyone. In the end, the scouts were almost crazy. More than a dozen people shrank in a group, and any movement could make them terrified.
As for the person involved, Tang En, he didn't feel much. Just like working, he would be indifferent if he did too much. A sneak attack was a process, and killing was just a result of letting things go...
No matter how long the night is, it will pass, and before you know it, the jungle is shining with light again. Tang En took David and the others quietly retreated, just like the Tathagata.
There is no point in sneak attack during the day. Although you can succeed if you spend more time, your efficiency will be much worse. And if you are not careful, you may be surrounded by others.
According to the hidden sign left behind, a few hours later, Tang En and the others caught up with the large army.
At this time, the people in the gray-clothed army had not closed their eyes for two days and two nights. Although the pursuers behind them were the same, they at least didn't have to worry about food for the time being. The gray-clothed army was not good at this. When they first entered the jungle, most of the two pounds of beef they had already eaten. Now everyone is tired and hungry, and their morale is extremely depressed.
"Sister Shia, I'm so hungry..."
"Little Helen, I still have a piece of beef here, you can eat it." Joshia squatted down and stuffed a piece of beef jerky into the girl's hand.
"Yeah..." Little Helen happily took it, biting it like a puppy.
After a moment, she licked her lips, looking unsatisfied, and then said softly: "Sister Shia, are those bad guys still chasing us?"
"Yes, but don't worry. Brother Tang En taught them a lesson last night." Joshia touched Helen's broken hair and smiled with a squinted smile.
"Oh, Brother Tang En, are you careful." Little Helen clenched her fists, "I heard that bad guys are very powerful. They will emit a big sword energy, well, at least five or six meters." The little hand opened with great force, intending to show a big and big look.
"Haha, don't be afraid, and your sister Shia is also there. I'm a magician, and I have at least five or six miles of magic. There's no problem with hitting them."
Then Joshia tried hard to explain how many five or six meters it was, as if he was better than anyone who was longer. Little Helen nodded with her eyes shining with admiration.
...
Tang En turned his head and couldn't help but chuckled as he looked at the scene.
After comforting the little girl, Joshia ran around and encouraged everyone. She smiled brightly and spoke gently. The members of the gray-clothed army were a little restrained at first, but after a few chats, the atmosphere would soon be harmonious.
After Joshia took off the magician's aura, she became a girl. Everyone saw that she was so optimistic and cheerful, and they felt a little embarrassed by her discouraged look. Gradually, the lifeless team had a little laugh and the atmosphere became much better.
Tsk, this woman... Tang En can see the fatigue after Joshia's smile. It can be said that she is even more tired than most people here. The magician's body is weak, and the load can be imagined during such a sleepless marching. Tang En once saw her frown and rub her legs, and her eyes were slightly red. But after a moment, she would clench her fists, show a bright smile, and then she would inspire everyone with an energetic look...
...
It was almost noon, but the team still had a problem.
A strong man suddenly looked up and fell down as he walked. At first, people around him thought he was too tired, but when he saw him foaming at the mouth, he knew something was wrong.
Darren and the others quickly walked over, and the man had already started to twitch.
Tang En quickly opened his mouth, and after checking, not only did his face change. The man's tongue was already black, but in an instant, it was silent.
After exploring his nose and under his neck, Tang En shook his head and said helplessly: "No, it should be poisoned."
"Poisoned?"
"How could it be?"
"Uh, he just picked up something to eat." A young man with a panic expression said in a shocked voice, "He just found a few strings of dark red berries and gave me a string..."
"Where is the thing?" Tang En asked anxiously.
The man immediately took out a large bunch of small dark red and oval fruits from his pocket.
There are thousands of plants in another world, and Tang En doesn’t recognize it. However, not knowing it does not mean that there is no way to know whether it is poisonous.
"Get a piece of salt." After saying that, Tang En chopped the berries with a dagger and dripped the juice onto a rolled leaf.
Then he took the small piece of salt from a woman and put it in it.
After a moment, the salt blocks discolored and dyed red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Tang En sighed: "It's it, this thing is poisonous!"
"Damn it, alas..." Darren slapped his palm.
Everyone shook their heads and sighed. Who would have thought that just this string of unknown small berries could kill a person's life?
Ding, Ding, Ding... The young man suddenly changed his face and took a few steps back.
"You ate too?"
"I, I, I ate a few..."
"Open your mouth!" Tang En shouted softly and pinched the young man's mouth.
Hiss... the people beside them gasped, and they also saw the tongue in their mouths and the blackness was already visible.
Tang En quickly turned around and looked up, rose up, and took a few leaves from the big tree more than ten steps away.
It was a bitter mulberry tree, an ordinary plant, and it was seen everywhere in the north and everyone knew it.
"Chew and swallow!"
Young people subconsciously chew, uh... bitter mulberry tree, you can tell how it tastes like by listening to the name.
"Swallow!" Tang En yelled anxiously.
The young man didn't care about the bitter taste of his brain at this time, his throat kept shaking, and his face swallowed the chewed leaves with a hideous face.
In an instant, this bitter taste spread throughout the body like wildfire. The stomach and intestines were entangled,
"Wow..." The young man leaned over and vomited, vomited, vomited...
"Eat again!"
...
The food was tight, and the young man didn't eat much, but in the end he vomited, he was left with sour water dripping.
After repeating this for seven or eight times, the young man could no longer hold on, and fell to the ground like a loss of strength, his abdomen twitched, and his breath was as if he was a slept in his spring.
Tang En checked and said, "Find the water source as soon as possible and let him irrigate it a few more times. Then it depends on whether his luck can survive!"
Darren nodded silently, knowing that this was the best result. Fortunately, the young man didn't eat too much, otherwise he would have been powerless to turn things around.
He quickly digs the pit and burys the poisoned man. Such an environment is nothing to do, and he can only prevent his body from falling into the belly of a beast.
The team was silent for a few minutes before the burial site, and then set off again. This time, everyone who had learned the lesson did not dare to eat anything at will.
However, disasters will never go alone!
In the evening, the gray-clothed army found a clean water source. After settling down the poisoned young man, everyone was delighted to find that there were still some fish in the pool.
But just that's right, several big men hurried over.
Chapter completed!
