The three of them were lost in the jungle for three days.
Fresh water was very limited. It rained heavily in three days, so they filled it with water and even soaked their clothes in it. The clouds couldn't be poisonous, right? When they woke up in the morning, they used containers to collect quite a bit of water.
Limited dew. Total air
Isn't it poisonous? In the past three days, a few people have only dared to eat fruit that has been eaten by insects and the same kind of weeds that are eaten by small animals. With the help of very limited tools, Qi Huan made a simple hand crossbow to shoot.
Kill small animals and get some meat on them.
On the desert island, there are already many animals and plants that they have never seen before, especially the native species of Jiutian Kingdom. Ordinary flowers can emit strong evil spirits, but the sharp-toothed "rabbits" have no spiritual power.
.In the dense forest, the three of them had no idea which part was normal and which part was abnormal.
On the third night, Jun Aoyan could no longer make a sound.
She tried her best to open her mouth wide and scream, but there was no sound. Could it be that her voice was hoarse? Looking at the firelight, Qi Huan couldn't see much redness and swelling in her throat, but she couldn't speak. She probably didn't eat anything.
——The three of them eat the same food, and if there is a problem, it will happen together. After thinking about it, I can only blame the worsening wound as the cause.
There is one thing that they have more or less figured out, but they have not put it on the table. Ever since the "Poseidon's Treasure" was taken away from its original location, Jun Aoyan's condition suddenly worsened. Before that, the wound
Although she looked very scary, she did not feel any discomfort. That night, Qi Huan finally couldn't help but come up with this idea.
"Didn't we really offend... and get retribution?"
"I don't believe in retribution." Bai Ya snorted coldly, "At least I don't believe in retribution from that thing."
"That's right. I think, maybe...it's not a good thing that this stone is there."
"How to say?"
"Maybe it's left there just to stop the pain, but actually the inside of the person is still rotten. Now that it's taken away, it's no longer useful, and the person starts to feel pain. This thing treats the symptoms but not the root cause. It's useless.
Make people suffer.”
Bai Ya didn't speak, just nodded silently. He thought Qi Huan was right. What's more, now it can't turn people into monsters, it can only make people suffer in vain.
Jun Aoyan's health is getting worse and worse. In the first two days, she could get off the ground and lead the horse for a walk. Now she has to be supported even when getting on the horse. She is in a state of slow blood loss and long-term dehydration.
Lack of food and lack of food make the body worse.
Her face is always green, and there is no demonic aura around her, but people can't feel the living aura. Looking at her is like looking at a moving paper doll, clearly wearing solid armor.
But it seems like it can be blown away by a gust of wind.
Could this be the general's daughter? When others looked at it, they thought she was a sick maid bought from a poor family. She was originally "tall and tall", but now she looks like a dehydrated leaf, which is not enough.
It was completely dry, just limp, and the whole body was so weak that it almost took a lot of energy to even stand there.
She tried her best to keep her eyes open, probably because she was too sleepy, or because she couldn't see clearly. In addition to her strength, her five senses also declined, although she was not "drowsy".
, both ears cannot hear", but this state is obviously not what this age should have.
There is no trace of a town or village. There are almost no traces of human activities in the entire dense forest. Almost because they occasionally circle back to the places where they have left marks, or encounter the footprints of previous horses.
They had to admit that they were lost.
Furthermore, they will also see traces of other people.
Maybe it has been a long time - it was a mark deeply etched on the tree, obviously an arrow. The position was already very high, and Qi Huan accidentally looked up and discovered it. It was obviously man-made, a little blurry, and covered with a layer of
Thin moss. Bai Ya stood on tiptoes and stretched out his hand to try his best to outline the original appearance, only to feel a different kind of dent.
The three of them walked over with a glimmer of hope, but found that it was a dead end and they hit a rock mass. There were no other markers near the rock mass. So they had to follow their original hunch and occasionally found new marks.
, over and over again. Sometimes those instructions will allow them to go a long distance smoothly, but in the end they will lose their traces.
Every night there would be an outrageous cry, more than one, more than one kind. The most frightening thing was probably at night. The two people obviously took turns to keep vigil, and neither of them slacked off. But when they woke up the next day, they
There was a large area of red in the dead leaves pressed under her, like blood. No one was injured, Jun Aoyan's
The wounds were also plugged. Those "bloodstains" had no special smell, they just appeared out of thin air. Because they were isolated by the leaves, they did not stick to their clothes. It was probably because the place was damp and it had been pressed for a long time, so human-shaped water stains oozed out.
.In addition, there may be some minerals in the water, which makes it look red.
At least that's what they convinced themselves. Other than that, they couldn't find any other reasonable and reassuring explanation.
The fourth day also went in circles. The most desperate thing happened today - they encountered the last mark. The reason why it is called "the last one" is because of its form. The arrow is still very high, and it needs to be seen in Bai Ya
The position of standing on tiptoes. However, relatively speaking, it is lower and he does not need to stand as hard. Is it because the tree grows more slowly, or is it too far away from the first mark?
How long? This question cannot be answered deeply, after all, no one can give an answer.
It was painted over like crazy.
The original traces were crooked and shallower than those encountered before. Most likely, they were carved with little effort. But after that, the layers of scratches covering them were made even harder. The lines were messy,
Madness makes people feel chaotic and crazy. The disorder and despair revealed in it turn the last encouragement into nothing.
The three of them didn't say anything and left as if they hadn't seen him.
The determination and strong will required to survive here is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. This dense forest is boundless, and people almost lost their lives several times. Bai Ya reacted quickly enough and cut off several venomous snakes within seven inches.
Qi Huan also knew some rare medicinal materials that could heal the wounds scratched by thorns. The thorns were probably poisonous and could cause bleeding. That night, a horse ate an unknown weed and became extremely excited.
Jumping like crazy
It jumped around and shook all their luggage off. The two big men tried their best to hold it down, and it rushed straight into a fault. It was like a "cliff" on the flat ground, which was not deep.
Bottom out, they can't even hear it
The sound of a horse falling off a cliff. The two ends of the chasm were far away. Bai Ya led the horse carrying Jun Aoyan and weapons, and Qi Huan led the horse carrying twice as much luggage. They walked along this crack in the earth for a long time.
, there is no end, I have to give up.
On the fifth day, another horse drank water from a huge flower. He was probably very thirsty, but he couldn't help it. People can still drink boiled blood - although the smell and taste are indescribable, horses can't.
It didn't touch any meat or fishy smell. Qi Huan noticed that it drank the floral water without paying much attention, but found that the water was rust-colored, so he immediately made it
It stopped. In less than half an hour, it contracted dysentery and died of dehydration. Fortunately, Qi Huan's strange illness improved slightly and he could carry some luggage. Aoyan's wounds also deteriorated slower than they expected.
He is probably a martial arts practitioner with a good foundation. However, everyone knows that if he cannot find a suitable place, everyone will die.
They tacitly avoided talking about it to avoid the entanglement of death.
Another heavy rain came on the sixth day. Several people replenished their fluids and their faces improved slightly. However, the road was muddy and it was inconvenient to rush. In fact, no matter how long we walked, it was useless - not knowing where to go was the most terrible thing.
Things took a turn for the better on the seventh day.
It is a meadow full of flowers. Compared with the forest land, this place is much more open, but there are still big trees in all directions. In this open area, you can see the complete sun without being cut by the tree crown. There are many flowers, very mixed, and very beautiful.
, and among them was the variety that Jun Aoyan had almost smelled. They did not dare to get too close, for fear of something unexpected happening.
But everyone loves beauty. As long as food is not particularly scarce, a few people are willing to stay here for a while. Since there is no point in walking anywhere, it is better to stop for a while in a place worth admiring. In exchange for a short time,
Peace of mind is not easy.
Bee butterflies were flying among the flowers. Some butterflies were beautiful, while others were terrifying, as if they were threatening humans or even larger species. Speaking of which, they had seen extremely huge footprints a few days ago.
It forms a terrible deep pit, but it is so big that you can only see it when you go to a high place.
After looking at the flowers, Qi Huan turned his head and looked at the boundless woods. Suddenly, his eyes froze for a moment, and then he grabbed Bai Ya's sleeves.
"Is there anyone there?"
"The flowers are poisonous, are you hallucinating when you smell them?"
"No, it seems to be true. I saw the shadow of a person." Qi Huan poked his head and took two steps forward, "I saw a figure wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat... Look, there is still smoke there!
Is someone cooking?"
Bai Ya looked over and saw black smoke rising from the forest not far away.
"Isn't the cooking smoke white? Isn't this a wood-burning bonfire?"
"You don't care what it is, someone will get it!"
"But old trees can also spontaneously combust? We don't want to be killed in the flames before we go out."
"Don't think so much." Qi Huan frowned and accused him, "Think about it, we didn't encounter any dead trees along the way, right? Even if we did, they were the kind covered with moss and mushrooms."
The two discussed it over and over again and decided to go over and take a look. Qi Huan stayed here to accompany the sick Jun Aoyan, in case something unexpected happened. Qi Huan was a little excited. He was sure that he had read the dialogue correctly.
Ya repeatedly stressed not to be too aggressive.
Bai Ya carried the knife on his back and walked forward. He aimed at the direction of the rising black smoke and walked forward. The smoke lasted for a while and then disappeared. But although the smoke was short-lived, it was very choking. Bai Ya covered his nose with his sleeves.
, coughing slightly and squinting his eyes as he moved forward. To his surprise, Qi Huan was indeed right. There was indeed a figure wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat.
The man was holding something, and one end was burned out. The black smoke probably came from there. The man was wearing a power fence to block himself. Now Bai Ya understood that the man in front of him was a bee collector.
Man. As expected, the ancient tree above this man had a large black hive. There was a faint buzzing sound from inside, which was probably the last struggle of the bees.
"Who is it?" Bai Ya pulled out a knife and cautiously approached.
The man stood there without moving. It didn't look like he was scared, but as if he knew someone was behind him from the beginning. The man didn't look back, but asked calmly:
