"Damn it, it seems that my premonition is quite accurate. This place doesn't seem to be peaceful." Lin Fengjin said silently in his heart.
At this time, Lin Fengjin re-thought this fragmented sentence. When he saw the four words "immortal", he suddenly felt an ominous premonition:
"This...I have been involved in the case of the female pupa since Tianchang Academy, and I was involved in this mysterious incident of immortality. Later I gradually realized that it was related to the Nawa Snake God. Holy shit
!Is it possible that I came to this far north, almost to the end of the world, and got involved again? "
"No, at this time I can almost conclude that the Nawa Snake God should have already entered the world and is hiding in the Xiangdu area of Nanzheng. With the help of a country to support it, how could it come to this remote place in the countryside?
I must be thinking too much. Anyway, no matter what happens, I can just ignore it and go back to let others take care of it. We will set sail tomorrow and no big trouble will be found on my head."
Now that he had made up his mind, Lin Fengjin didn't say anything more. These illusory things really only disturbed the morale of the army. After everyone soaked in the hot spring for a while, they felt warm all over their bodies.
Feeling comfortable, he called someone and set off back.
In order to avoid causing any trouble, Lin Fengjin even counted the number of people twice before turning around and leaving. When he returned to the campsite, he found that grills had been piled up and a lot of prey had been accumulated. It turned out that this
Among the people who went hunting on one occasion, the majority were the fanatical believers from the Sanli tribe brought by Lin Fengjin. They were already perfect archers, so wherever they went, there were almost no animals left, and they returned with a full load.
It's really strange to say that the people in Sanlibu are all good hunters, and they all say that there seems to be a lack of wild animals here. Therefore, there are many rabbits, pheasants and other living animals, and it is as if they were picked up for free.
And these fanatical believers all unanimously offered the best prey they had obtained to Lin Fengjin. If Lin Fengjin refused to accept it, they would be disappointed from the bottom of their hearts, and their frustration was palpable. Once they were accepted, they would be disappointed.
He immediately beamed and was very excited. This kind of treatment could not help but make others envious, and they all admired him.
The group of people chatted for a while, and the first batch of prey put on the grill was already ripe. They were sprinkled with salt and spices, and then the fattest parts were cut and served, supplemented with Dongxia's specialty rice wine.
When you take a bite, you will feel the aroma of fat. In addition, the person doing the barbecue is also a veteran on the ship, and the craftsmanship is worthy of the eight words of "fresh, delicious and excellent taste".
Among these prey, Lin Fengjin thinks the most delicious is a giant rat with gray and linen fur, which seems to be related to squirrels. The fat on this giant rat's body is very rich, and it also has a fragrance of pine wood.
There is no fishy smell, and even the bones are crispy after roasting. It looks like it has been deep-fried, which is especially delicious.
Sailors who have been here said that this kind of animal is called pine bark, and it usually likes to pick up pine nuts and eat them in the pine forests hundreds of miles away in the south. But now it is taking advantage of the warm weather in the summer to rush north, but it wants to
Look for the red fruits in the mountains here to eat. Only by eating this fruit will the pine bark be able to come into heat on time. And this guy is very alert as he leaps and flies. When I came here before, I could only rely on luck to pick it up.
There were only a few of them, but today they unfortunately bumped into these sharp archers around Lin Fengjin, and they suffered eight lifetimes of bad luck.
Although it was still June at this time, we were already close to the Far North, so once night fell, the temperature dropped sharply, and everyone gathered around the fire, eating barbecue, and they all felt very comfortable.
The collected wild vegetables are not only large in quantity, but also of various types: shepherd's purse, purslane, fennel, dandelion, bitter greens, bracken, water celery, wisteria, etc., all of which are naturally picked by people.
Come out, wash it until it is green, white and tender, and put it in a big dustpan. After a while, the cook fried a large bowl of egg sauce and came out. Everyone scooped up half the bowl, and then grabbed it and washed it clean.
I ate wild vegetables with the sauce and ate them happily.
Seeing that it was already dark, Lin Fengjin looked around. According to the regulations before departure, he had to return to the camp before nightfall no matter what, so he whispered to shopkeeper Qin who was in charge next to him:
"It seems like there is still someone who hasn't come back?"
Shopkeeper Qin immediately said respectfully:
"Going back to Young Master, a total of eight groups of people went out, and now six groups have returned. However, one group of people who have not returned is led by Du Qi, and the other group of people includes your personal captain Gu Bei, and
I have also asked those Dongxia people many times, and they all said that there have never been wild beasts around here, so there should be nothing wrong."
Lin Fengjin nodded, grabbed a handful of green and tender wild vegetables, dipped it in egg sauce, and chewed slowly. For a moment, a shadow flashed in his heart: Could it be true?
What happened?
Gradually, as time went by, everyone felt that something was wrong. This was a whole two groups of people. More than a dozen people actually disappeared like this. It should not be done anyway, not to mention that among the two groups of people, Gu
Bei and Du Qi both have special fireworks and flag signals on their bodies. There should be opportunities to release the signals anyway.
Seeing that the lively atmosphere of the banquet was gradually getting lower, Lin Fengjin ordered a search and rescue team to be formed, and the rest of the people went back to the ship to sleep! There were two sentries on duty, and all the ships were thirty feet away from the shore.
Stay anchored, after all, even if there is any danger in the sea, there are still five demonic snakes of the Ao family and the Lord of the Sea lurking on the deep seabed five miles away who can provide support at any time. It is many times safer than on land.
At this time, it was natural to conduct an investigation. Fortunately, in order to avoid accidents before going out, I had clearly recorded the list of people in each group, the direction and distance, etc. Then I found someone.
After questioning, it was finally determined that Du Qi's group C, who had not returned, was heading three to five miles northwest, while Gubei's group D was three to five miles west. It seemed that the activity areas of the two groups should be adjacent.
According to the most likely speculation at present, an emergency occurred in one of the groups, and another group next to it went to the rescue and fell into it together. However, why did the fireworks flag signals of the two groups not be released at all?
, but it still doesn’t make sense.
A search and rescue team was quickly formed. It was led by Cai Hengyuan, the one who was most familiar with the nearby situation. There were also three guides who were also familiar with the journey. The members of the search and rescue team were mainly Lin Fengjin's fanatic followers.
, More importantly, Lin Fengjin knew that his five senses were much higher than ordinary people, so he defied all opinions and led the team himself. For Lin Fengjin, if Du Qi dies, he will die, but
Gu Bei is a man who is loyal to him and must be saved.
At this time, dangerous signs were already looming, so Lin Fengjin would never play any trick of dividing his troops and letting others cannibalize them. The people he brought with him were all trustworthy dead soldiers. He thought about it and thought that the safety of his retreat would be the same.
It was important, so the wild boar was specially left to guard the ship, so that everything would be safe.
***
Walking in the dark in an unfamiliar jungle, even though there are people next to you and there are torches, the timid person will still feel extremely palpitated and frightened. In the darkness around you, there seem to be unexplainable evil and strange creatures at any time.
Staring quietly, looking for the perfect opportunity, the feeling under my feet is soft, and the dead branches and leaves accumulated for countless years are still very elastic when stepped on.
Lin Fengjin walked right in front of the team. Next to him was Cai Heng, the guide. Because of his excellent night vision, Lin Fengjin could easily find the traces of these people who had walked before, and added
This is a high latitude area, and the trees are not very tall. Although the shrubs are dense, they are still growing in groups. The grass and trees growing close to the ground are rare in the jungle, so the field of vision is actually quite broad.
.
"This should be their activity area." Lao Cai raised the torch and shined it in all directions.
Lin Fengjin's eyes fell on the broken branches and fresh footprints nearby. He should have left the woods and came to an area similar to a ravine. The view here is wide and shrubs are growing intermittently.
The ground is covered with green weeds and the like, and the people who come here are obviously rushing to collect edible wild vegetables.
At this time, another guide also walked quickly for a few steps, then bent down and pulled it a few times, then illuminated it with a torch and said:
"That's right, look at this pit. The soil in the pit is still very fresh, and the digging is quite deep. It should be left over from when the mother-in-law was harvested. The older generation has long passed down the experience. Chewing the roots of the mother-in-law can help
To avoid getting angry, that’s why the hole is dug quite deep.”
Lin Fengjin nodded and said:
"Spread out the search, keep the distance between each person no more than three feet, and loudly announce your name every ten breaths."
After Lin Fengjin issued the order, he stood at a relatively high place to monitor the surroundings. Not long after, a series of news came back:
"Nothing found..."
"Nothing found..."
"Sir, please take a look! This bag of wild vegetables should be left behind by them!"
One of his men came to claim credit with a bag of wild vegetables. The bag of wild vegetables was wrapped in an old piece of clothing, but was hastily abandoned on the spot. However, Lin Fengjin's men searched the entire place.
In the area, only two or three bags of discarded wild vegetables were found, and no blood or other suspicious traces were found. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
