Ten people carefully climbed over the crater and walked along the inner wall of the crater into the volcanic forest. The vegetation here is lush and wide. When you look down from the crater, it doesn't feel very big, but once you enter, you are mesmerized by the towering trees.
The road. The fallen leaves in the forest are very accumulated.
It's so thick that it can reach your ankles when you step on it. If there is a snake hidden in the dead grass, there is a high probability that it will not be discovered. But fortunately, the snakes are not active today. They beat the grass and the ground with long branches while being cautious
As we moved forward, occasionally a few snakes were frightened and ran away.
Because everyone was extremely careful, there was no danger on the road, but the trees were too dense, and they had to use their waist knives as woodcutter to "kill" a way out, so the team's progress was very slow.
After searching for an hour, Zhang Xiaowu ordered everyone to rest and immediately hung hammocks on the trees to rest. They found strong trees, then built hammocks, and connected several hammocks together, using the tension of the ropes to connect each other, so that they could
Look after each other during breaks.
Lu Bugui suddenly held his stomach and wanted to poop, so he called out to everyone who wanted to poop. Everyone looked at him with contempt and said, "Poop somewhere farther away. Don't stink us." Lu Bugui said.
Bu Huihui gave everyone a fist, then scraped some bark with a knife to use as toilet paper, and walked away.
Everyone said nothing and lay down on the hammocks to rest. Seeing that it was getting dark, Zhang Xiaowu organized everyone to clean up the resting place and make rainproof work. However, while everyone was cleaning up the ground, Liu Ding suddenly said
: "Lü Bugui has been gone for a long time, right? Isn't this too much shit? Is Lu Bugui really not coming back?"
"Bah, bah, bah!" He Wuqing said angrily, "What are you talking about! Frustrated! Hurry up and spit."
Liu Ding hurriedly spat on the ground.
Zhang Xiaowu said: "Liu Ding, Jia Shan, Yu Sanbei, you three go and see what happened to Lu Bugui."
"Here."
The three of them carried weapons and carefully followed the footsteps to search for him. After a while, they found Lu Bugui. However, they saw Lu Bugui's face was charred, he was foaming at the mouth and rolling his eyes. Liu Ding screamed, and everyone ran over quickly.
, saw Lu Bugui hunched into a ball. Liu Ding touched Lu Bugui's pulse with his hand and found that his heartbeat had stopped and he was completely dead.
"How did he die?" Zhang Xiaowu asked. Everyone carried Lu Bugui's body back and placed it on the cleaned ground. However, Lu Bugui huddled up and it was difficult to open his body. He Wuxian suggested
They cut his armor open with a knife, and everyone untied his armor, but no wound was found in the end.
"Not a poisonous snake."
"It's not a poisonous insect either."
"That would be strange."
"Is there anything to eat or drink?"
"It's impossible. We bring our own food and water."
Everyone checked around Lu Bugui's body for a while. Zhang Xiaowu found that Lu Bugui's anus was black. It wasn't because he had defecated and hadn't been wiped clean, but more like traces of poisoning. He looked at the bark of the tree not far away.
He looked at Lu Bugui again and put forward his guess to everyone.
"It's very possible." Everyone also felt that apart from this conjecture, there seemed to be no other reason. Poor Lu Bugui died in the hands of toilet paper. It can be said to be the most depressing way to die.
"Damn it, I might as well scrape with the back of a knife." Mao Dazhuang sighed.
Everyone buried Lu Bugui's body more than a hundred steps away from them, not far nor close. After returning to the camp, they were in a bad mood. Coupled with the fatigue of the day, everyone was unwilling to talk.
It was getting dark and everyone was getting ready to go to bed.
"Ouch——"
With a howl, everyone woke up, drew their weapons and prepared to look around.
Zhang Xiaowu frowned and jumped down from the hammock. After the ground was cleared, there were no fallen leaves. He felt very at ease. This made him feel confident in fighting. Other Han soldiers also jumped down and prepared their weapons, back to back.
Ready to fight. But maybe the beast was too cunning and did not get close, but howled in different places. As the sky became darker, the situation became more dangerous for them.
"Light the fire." Zhang Xiaowu said.
Because the space was cleared, they did not worry about causing a wildfire. After gathering the dead branches and leaves into a pile, someone used fire sticks to light the pile of dead leaves. The fire started quickly, but the dead leaves were very resistant to burning.
It burned out after a while, so everyone had to continue filling in the dead leaves. Fortunately, there were enough dead leaves, so everyone leaned against the fire to keep warm while filling in the dead leaves while watching out for wild beasts.
After keeping watch for an hour, Zhang Xiaowu divided the nine people into five classes. He was counted as one class alone, leaving one class to guard the fire, and the rest went to sleep in hammocks. Maybe they were too tired during the day, so after everyone was divided into five classes,
The resting soldiers soon fell asleep. The soldiers who filled the fire with dead leaves continued to be alert to the surroundings, guarding against sneak attacks by wild beasts.
In the second half of the night, everyone was fast asleep, and even the soldiers watching the night slowed down. At this time, a dark cheetah sprang out and bit He Wuxian's neck. Fortunately, the iron armor on his neck helped.
block
After catching the cheetah's teeth, He Wuchong screamed and kicked the cheetah's leg. The cheetah escaped immediately after missing the hit. However, the soldier who woke up immediately shot the cheetah with his crossbow. Two crossbow arrows hit the cheetah at the same time.
body.
The cheetah howled and then ran away, but its body was dripping with blood.
"Don't worry, it won't survive." Zhang Xiaowu said.
He Wuhang touched his neck with lingering fear and found that the iron armor protecting his neck had been bitten and dented. If he had bitten his neck directly, he would have no chance of surviving.
At the same time, Zhang Xiaowu also thought of another question and said: "How did a creature like a leopard appear? Is it born with it, or is it born from a female leopard?"
Liu Ding said: "Of course it was born from a female leopard?"
Jia Shandao: "In addition to female leopards, there are also male leopards, otherwise who will breed them?"
Mao Dazhuang said depressedly: "So there are still cheetahs?"
Zhang Xiaowu said: "No, I am talking about the cheetah group. Although cheetahs are animals that are hunted alone, they must reproduce after all, otherwise they would have been extinct on this island. Because cheetahs are typical inbred animals, so as long as
With one male and one female, a tribe can be created."
Everyone was filled with anxiety. Unexpectedly, they had beaten away a cheetah, but there was still a group of cheetahs waiting for everyone. They slept restlessly until dawn, and everyone sat around the fire, leaned on the pancakes, and drank the rice wine.
After a while, I drank a lot to warm my body. In the wild, everyone puts wine in one kettle and water in another kettle. In many cases, wine is more effective than water.
Before setting off again, everyone came to Lu Bugui's grave, observed a moment of silence, and then said goodbye one after another and moved on.
