Chapter 523 Serious
Author: See water is water
Some insects look inconspicuous, but they can kill people. After Tang Qiang reminded them, several people tightened their trousers and cuffs to be prepared.
Tang Qiang had brought Lao Yang and Axiang here twice, and they knew the way. Tang Qiang even drew a map before coming. In addition, he still brought a compass.
Even so, Tang Qiang still did not let down his guard.
Along the way, apart from the creaking sounds of walking, there was only the sound of a few people breathing in different shades.
On the periphery, there are still people walking out of the path, but as you go in, the path gradually disappears.
Looking at the similar trees around him, Hammer asked: "Captain, do you want to make a mark?"
"do it."
The hammer marked one of the trees at regular intervals.
This is commonly used in their team.
After walking for about an hour, the trees became denser and denser, and the surrounding area became quieter.
"It shouldn't be. Even if there are no insects or snakes coming out, there will still be birds." The hammer drew another line, and he walked behind Tang Qiang. He looked at the sky that was blocked by branches and still had mottled light, "Captain,
Is it coming soon?"
"It's still early." Tang Qiang stepped on a dead branch under the snow, "It was like this last time I came here."
There used to be many kinds of precious animals and plants here, but now it's so quiet, and I don't know how many of those birds and animals are left.
Shi Luo released his consciousness, searched the surrounding area, and said, "At least there is no living thing other than this vegetation within a mile."
"Luoluo, your spiritual power hasn't recovered yet, I think it's a bit dangerous here." Qu Hao said warily, leaning against Shi Luo.
"Now that we're here, let's go meet him for a while." Shi Luo's steps were firm.
Qu Hao refused to accept Shi Luo's advice. He just told himself that if he encountered danger, he would risk his life to protect Luo Luo.
"Someone." After walking for about half an hour, Tang Qiang paused and stretched out his hand to stop others from moving forward.
Just as Tang Qiang finished speaking, a embarrassed figure rushed this way.
This is a young man. The coat on his body seems to have been torn by a sharp object. Cotton comes out from the dark blue cloth. There are scars on his exposed face and hands, probably from running too far.
In panic, one of the shoes fell off.
"Who are you?" Hammer took a step forward and stood next to Tang Qiang, he asked loudly.
The young man was running and looking back. When he heard the noise, his legs gave way and he collapsed to the ground, his face full of despair.
"I'm asking you something!" Hammer emphasized his tone.
The young man seemed to be awakened by Hammer's words. He raised his head suddenly and looked at Shi Luo and his group. He first supported his arms and backed away. When he saw that Shi Luo and the others did not attack him, he asked tremblingly: "
Are you human?"
"That's true." Hammer frowned, "If we are not human beings, what should we be?"
The young man's eyes widened. He tried his best to jump up from the ground and rushed towards Tang Qiang, shouting: "Great! Great! Help me, there is something murderous inside."
As he ran, the blood on the man's face and hands was still dripping down, looking miserable and terrifying.
Hammer raised his hammer to stop the man from approaching, "Stop first."
Looking at the hammer, the young man shouted in fear, turned around and tried to run away.
"Hey, why are you running? We won't beat you." Hammer shouted behind him.
Thinking of the life-threatening thing behind, he looked back at Tang Qiang and his group. The young man finally stopped. He shrank his head, a little afraid of the hammer.
"Put it away." Tang Qiang said to Hammer.
Hammer puts the hammer away.
Without the weapon, the young man became bolder. He took two tentative steps towards Tang Qiang, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
"We asked you first, right?" Hammer frowned.
The young man replied: "My home is in Baitan Town, and I came here just to pick some mushrooms."
Baitan Town is the closest town to this side.
Although this is also a nationally famous natural scenic area, it is remote and there are not many tourists. Especially since the winter here is too long, tourists are not willing to travel so far just to take a look at the scenery.
The nearby villagers did not have much source of income, so they all left here and went to the city.
The young man wanted to pick some mushrooms and wild fruits.
"You shouldn't go so deep to pick mushrooms." Tang Qiang saw the young man's eyes dodge and knew the truth he didn't tell. "Besides, there is a warning sign at the entrance. For a while, you are not allowed to go deep into the forest.
"
"I, I didn't come in from the east."
Realizing that Tang Qiang and the others were not easy to fool, he struggled in his heart, but in the end his life was still more important, so he had to tell the truth, "I came in from the northwest corner, and the mushrooms outside have been harvested long ago. I heard
They say there is a very delicious fungus in it, which is very expensive, costing six to seven hundred yuan per catty. I heard that some people can pick two catties in one day."
Even now, the young man still didn't want to tell Tang Qiang what kind of bacteria it was. He had hidden selfish motives. Even if he couldn't pick it himself, he didn't want these people to come and pick it.
From Tang Qiang's tone, he was not a local, so the young man thought that Tang Qiang and the others were traveling here.
"You just called for help. Was there something dangerous inside?" Tang Qiang didn't pay attention to how he got in, nor did he care about the valuable bacteria he mentioned.
Mentioning this, the young man hunched his shoulders and said with lingering fear, "The trees over there can kill people!"
Having said this, he rushed over and wanted to grab Tang Qiang's arm, but Tang Qiang avoided him.
"You have something to say."
"I, I have a friend still inside." The man was frightened. "He is entangled with a tree vine. I can't pull it away. The thing will still move and whip me. Please help me call the police."
He ran so fast that the man threw away his backpack. He originally wanted to call the police, but his cell phone was also swept away by a vine.
"Not a pine tree?" Tang Qiang frowned and asked.
The wounds on this man's body don't look like they were pricked by pine needles.
The young man shook his head, "No, it's not a pine tree, it's a tamarisk tree."
"Not only the red willows, but all the nearby trees are moving, even if there is no wind." The young man thought of the scene just now, and even in the cold weather, he was still sweating.
Tang Qiang looked back at Shi Luo, "Master Shi, it seems to be more serious than the past few days."
A few days ago, a single pine tree was unusual. If what the young man said was true, then every pine tree was different.
"In which direction? How far is it from here?" Tang Qiang asked.
"You want to go in?" The young man shook his head hurriedly, "Don't go in, it's too dangerous inside, people will die. We'd better get out first and call the police after we get out."
Now he doesn't feel safe even looking at a piece of grass under his feet. The man wants to persuade Tang Qiang and the others to go out with him.
"Master Shi, what do you think?" Tang Qiang asked Shi Luo. He couldn't make the decision on his own in such a weird place.
"Go and have a look." Shi Luo said.
Tang Qiang nodded, and then said to the young man: "You can go back safely by following the marks on the tree."
