Plan to walk through the dense forest during the day and rest at the last stop on Snake Island.
But the plan could not keep up with the changes, and the group far underestimated the difficulty of walking in the dense forest.
As night fell, ten people were still in the forest.
What we saw ahead was getting darker and darker, and everyone was a little anxious, not knowing how long it would take before we could get out of the woods.
In addition, there are many poisonous insects in Miao territory, and everyone has bites of varying degrees.
Some were in severe pain, some were extremely itchy, and the journey was very torturous.
"Stop, it seems like we can't get out today."
A person from the Mo family suggested loudly from behind.
"Yeah, let's quickly clear a clearing while there's still some light. If we're trapped in the woods in the middle of the night without any preparation, we'll probably all be bitten to death by these bugs early tomorrow morning."
"You guys are too slow!" Ayu turned around and complained, "You will be able to walk out soon. Just hold on."
"Immediately, immediately, girl, how many times have you said immediately? No, we must stop and rest."
Bai Song looked at Qing'er and saw that she looked tired, but she was still holding on.
Then Bai Song made a decision: "Everyone stop, let's rest for one night before leaving."
Bai Song is the absolute core of the team. Now that Bai Song has made the decision, Ayu can only stop and rest no matter how much she complains.
Everyone started cleaning the inside, but the mosquitoes everywhere were their biggest difficulty.
Several Mohist brothers lit torches. After lighting the fire, they also spread a layer of charcoal ash on the ground to bake it to feel at ease.
While several people were looking for firewood, someone suddenly shouted: "Third Master, there is someone here!"
Third Master refers to Third Uncle Mo.
Bai Song was attracted by what he said next, and he leaned over to ask what was going on.
The man stood under a tree, holding a torch and motionless.
Bai Song walked to the side and took a look, slightly stunned.
This is a man dressed all in black, face down, lying on the ground, motionless.
It looks like a corpse.
The other party's attire is definitely not Miao.
The material of the black clothes seemed a little weird, and it looked very close to the body.
Bai Song was stunned for a few seconds, and the others gathered around him, all of them frowning.
"Where did it come from? The costume is so weird."
Bai Song didn't answer. He walked closer, took the torch from the person next to him, and looked closer.
There were no wounds visible on his back, so Bai Song fortunately turned him over directly.
Bai Song just made a move.
Da Wu Liu'er, who had always been silent, suddenly shouted: "No!"
It was too late for Liu'er to speak out.
Bai Song had already turned the body over.
When the body was turned around, the first thing Bai Song saw was that the other person's face was covered.
Then Bai Song immediately recognized this person's identity.
Japanese people.
Although she was dressed in black, her attire was exactly the same as the Japanese woman I saw last time.
Bai Song was thinking about what it meant for the Japanese to appear here, and completely forgot about Liu'er's reminder.
At this time, another torch stretched out and illuminated the lower body of the man in black.
Under the black clothes, a strange bloody hole suddenly appeared on his thigh.
There seemed to be some gray-white cocoons growing around, like silkworm chrysalises.
"Quick! Burn him!"
Ayu also ran over and threw the torch directly.
The gray-white cocoon burned the moment it came into contact with the flame.
But it seemed to have touched something.
The body that had been motionless suddenly twitched, like a zombie coming to life, and its gray eyes suddenly opened.
Bai Song was looking at his face, and Bai Song was so frightened that he sat on the ground, his hair standing on end.
Then the corpse made bursts of roaring sounds, like bones exploding. As the flames spread, the corpse became crazy.
Suddenly he rushed towards Bai Song again.
Bai Song reacted quickly, put his foot on the lower abdomen of the corpse, and kicked the corpse away.
But the corpse seemed to have been hollowed out, and Bai Song's kick was more like popping a balloon.
A black mass of insects suddenly emerged from the corpse!
Marrow-eating Gu!
"Idiot!"
Bai Song was frightened. The louder he cursed, the more fear he felt in his heart.
Facing any martial arts master or grandmaster, he was not worried at all, but facing a group of ant-like bugs, just thinking about it made people shudder.
Bai Song didn't expect that these insects would swarm all over Bai Song's trouser legs.
"Fire! Fire!"
Bai Song shouted, not caring about anything, he picked up the torch and burned it on his legs.
When exposed to fire, insects jump around like fleas.
Fortunately, the fire was extremely lethal to them. As long as they were touched even slightly, a large number of them would be dead in just two jumps.
There were only a handful of bugs on Bai Song's legs, and more bugs poured out from the gaps inside the body.
The others were shocked, and when they were waiting to use fire to burn them, they found that many insects had already fled into the darkness.
The fire quickly engulfed the body.
The body was already a hollowed-out shell and was quickly reduced to ashes in the flames.
Bai Song burned himself very hard. He endured the burning without saying a word and stopped until his pants were completely burned off.
Qing'er was so frightened that she covered her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes, and was about to go up to ask about the situation.
Bai Song patted the charred body, gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go quickly! It's not suitable to stay here for a long time!"
Yes, there are bugs scattered around, and I wonder how many marrow-eating Gu are there.
Even if the probability that there is a female insect among these insects is very small, who can say for sure?
"Hurry up!" Uncle Mo also shouted, "These damn bugs are still alive, get out of here quickly."
The group of people held torches and walked around the corpse as much as possible. Everyone stared at the ground and shuddered at the darkness of the dense forest.
The most terrifying thing is always the elusive things.
The threat from insects is much greater than the pressure exerted by humans.
"Sir, your legs..."
"Come on, I'm fine!"
Bai Song gritted his teeth and persisted, but in order to completely eliminate the bugs, the burns on his legs were too serious.
Even with perseverance, I was still limping and felt like I might fall down at any time.
"Stop holding on!" Ayu suddenly arrived in front of him. Without giving Bai Song a chance to speak, he stretched out his hand and carried Bai Song onto his back.
Qing'er guarded this woman all the way and tried her best to prevent her from getting close to the young master.
But at this time, there was no choice. This Ayu was the person in the team who was the most calm in dealing with the dense forest.
Along the way, everyone became a drag on Ayu. If there were no other people, Ayu would have left the forest long ago.
Now that everyone is in a hurry to leave, only Ayu can spare time to take care of others.
After experiencing the scene just now, everyone in the team no longer felt sleepy, and a group of people rushed forward desperately.
Not long after walking, I suddenly felt a heat wave not far ahead.
A group of people just stopped.
Bai Song breathed a sigh of relief just now, but now he feels that his foot injury is serious and his breath has become much weaker.
Everyone was in a daze.
He felt the team stop, looked up and looked ahead, and his eyes widened.
Suddenly there was a fire ahead and a thick smoke drifted towards everyone.
