Bang bang bang, countless wooden boards hit the muddy road continuously, the weeds were submerged by the rain, and only the shrubs were left above the water.
Ao Yu was the most relaxed one. Although the soles of his feet were not tied with wooden boards, they never sank into the mud. He suddenly stopped and looked forward intently, but his body did not sink.
"There seems to be a small hill ahead."
The rain was so heavy that even the guide couldn't see the scenery in the distance. However, no one doubted Ao Yu's eyesight, and the scenery he saw was naturally correct.
Ding Kui and Xue Chong looked at the guide together.
The guide nodded and said: "That's right, it should be 'Ji Zhi Cao Gang'. We will rest there tonight, and we will have to walk for a whole day to find the campsite."
"Everyone, hurry up. We are approaching soon. This damn weather will take us a lot of time to camp." Xue Chong ordered.
"Is there anything special about 'Ji Zhi Cao Gang'?" Ding Kui asked.
"It is a small hill covered with thistle grass. Thistle grass is very bitter and few animals use it as food. Therefore, there are very few animals and magical beasts nearby. It is very suitable for humans to camp. But you also know that the rain here will
It has a bitter taste, so if you don’t bring enough water, you won’t be able to stay there for too long,” the guide replied.
"Is thistle poisonous? Bah, bah." Ding Kui spat out a few more mouthfuls of saliva.
"Haha, it's not poisonous. On the contrary, it is an antidote for certain diseases. Make a juice of thistle and give it to a person who has been poisoned and he will wake up immediately. The taste is too bitter, no matter you
No matter how sleepy you are, just one taste will keep you awake for a long time."
Ding Kui and Xue Chong's eyes lit up at the same time.
"Will the thistle grass be picked off by others?" Xue Chong asked.
"No, it's not like all the antidote to diseases require that thing. Only people nearby can use it. How many people would venture into the swamp to pick it? You will know when you get there, thistle grass grows all over the mountain.
Gang. Is it useful to you?" The guide was very surprised.
"It's useful. It's of great use." Ding Kui was happy.
The special operations brigade carries a large amount of incense, ready to be used in missions, but the number of antidotes is not large, and there are restrictions on large-scale use of incense, otherwise everyone will be infected. The emergence of thistle grass juice just solves this problem
The problem is, everyone carries a small bag with them, and they can release the smoke to cover the entire battlefield without worrying that their own people will lose their combat effectiveness.
"Are there any adverse effects if you drink too much thistlegrass juice?" Ding Kui was worried that there would be side effects.
"I've never heard of this humble position. I just can't sleep and it affects my rest." The guide also belongs to the military establishment.
"Well, it has the side effect of overdrafting physical energy. It has no impact on soldiers. Every battle will overdraft physical energy. Just don't use it during rest." Ding Kui felt relieved.
The guide suddenly bent down, touched in the water, pulled out a handful of weeds, handed it to Ding Kui, and said, "Here, this is thistle grass."
Even though it was soaked in muddy water, it still couldn't cover up the emerald green grass leaves. Thistlegrass is one finger long and about two fingers wide, with an arc-shaped top.
Ding Kui divided some and showed it to Xue Chong. He took one out and washed it in the rain, then put it in his mouth and bit off a small piece.
A bitter taste quickly invaded his mouth, stimulating his tongue to secrete saliva continuously. Even so, it could not dilute the bitter taste.
"Bah, bah, bah, oh my god, this is really refreshing." Ding Kui hurriedly spit out the grass powder in his mouth.
The guide laughed, "Hahaha, Captain Ding, the thistle juice is ten times more bitter than this. People who drink it will never forget it. If you want to play tricks on people, this is the best way to use it."
Xue Chong, who was about to put thistle grass into his mouth, saw this and immediately put it down, "Yes, it works. I'll let Ba Xi try the scent later to see if it can solve the problem."
"You can't retaliate against me like this, Captain Xue!" Ba Xi screamed.
After arriving at Jizhicaogang, the heavy rain still did not stop, but the intensity of the rain became slightly lighter.
Well-trained special operations team members set up tents in the rain and threw items that were afraid of water into the tents.
"Can you make thistlegrass juice?" Xue Chong asked the guide.
"Of course, I've learned to do humble jobs since I was young."
"Okay, the fourth and fifth squadrons spread out to collect thistle grass. After the rain stops, the first and second squadrons will assist Li Tie in making juice." Xue Chong still used to call "Ding Kui Squadron" the first squadron.
The guide's name was Li Tie. He looked up at the sky and said, "This rain is coming hard. It won't last long. It will probably stop before dark. Let's take advantage of this time to catch more rainwater and use the rainwater here."
It is most suitable to use rainwater to brew thistle juice, and the effect is the best."
Ding Kui winked at Ao Yu, suggesting that he secretly collect some of the rainwater.
It was not easy to catch the rain in this kind of weather, but it was a piece of cake for Ao Yu. He wished he could transform into a dragon and fly in the air.
After getting the hint, Ao Yu excused himself to patrol around and ran away alone. The special operations brigade was supplemented by a hundred archers, but in terms of patrolling the security of the station, Ao Yu was the first person, and Ding Kui could only take second place.
second.
Sure enough, the heavy rain stopped before dark, and the special operations brigade quickly lit several fires. Some rude soldiers simply took off their clothes and warmed themselves naked by the fires, causing the female soldiers to curse.
A few particularly energetic ones even deliberately shook their crotches at the female soldiers, and were struck so accurately by pieces of mud that they were unable to straighten their backs for a long time.
Bai Qian blushed and ran over to set up an iron pot for Ding Kui, preparing to boil thistlegrass juice.
"Haha, those rough guys are so cowardly, no matter what you do to them, I'm sure they'll all soften up." Ding Kui said with a smile.
"What about you?" As soon as Bai Qian said this, she realized something was wrong and immediately closed her mouth, her jade face even turning crimson.
This stupid girl wanted the black man to take her with her, and even made me shoot.
Ding Kui was sweating and had to change the subject, "Li Tie, are you sure there is no danger here?"
Li Tie didn't seem to hear anything, only the questions asked to him, and replied: "Generally speaking, there is no danger. Foreigners definitely don't know about this place, and animals and monsters that can hurt people don't like to come. Unless
…”
"Unless what?"
"Well, unless the mudworms can't find anything to eat, they will come over and eat some of the rhizomes of thistlegrass. This situation rarely happens, and there are so many of us who are not afraid of large groups of mudworms." Li Tie thought about it.
There is no guarantee that mud bugs will not appear, so I still choose to speak out.
"Mud bugs? Are they the kind of soft bugs that can corrode metal?" Ding Kui's heart trembled, and his mental energy immediately looked around.
"Captain Ding is really knowledgeable about the bugs you mentioned. However, I have been here many times and have only seen mud bugs once."
