According to the old hunters in the hunting team, the valley was very unsafe at night, so when it got dark, they closed the tree hole. They also found two thick logs to block the wooden door, and a thick log was placed across the middle.
latch.
Bo Long specially asked the newcomers not to go out at night.
The people in the hunting team strung the field yellow truffles handed over by Gong Liang on the branches and baked them like him with animal oil. After a while, a fragrance wafted out. Feng Han couldn't wait to take a bite of the truffles that had been roasted earlier. They were so hot that they screamed.
He screamed, but the delicious taste that entered his mouth instantly made him forget the feeling of being burned.
After eating all the yellow truffles in a flash, Feng Han rolled his eyes and asked Gong Liang with a shy face: "A Liang, do you still have that stuff?"
Gongliang glanced at him, pointed at the boiling helmet iron pot and said: "There is some in it, we can eat it later."
Feng Han looked at the basket next to him, and there was obviously a pile in it. Yuan Gungan noticed his eyes, and grinned at him while guarding the food. Naturally, Feng Han would not take this big little beast seriously.
But Gongliang didn’t take it out, and he didn’t have the nerve to do so. The white-scale fish happened to be cooked, so he took a grilled fish and ate it. When he ate it, he found that the taste of the white-scale fish was not inferior to that of Tianhuang truffle.
Immediately, I completely forgot about the field yellow truffles and started eating them.
Gongliang also picked up a grilled fish to eat.
The old hunter is an old hunter, and he is very considerate. He knows that the skin will be blackened when grilled, so he doesn't need to remove the scales at all. He only needs to lightly scratch the fish with something after it is cooked, and the scales will peel off in pieces, revealing the white and transparent inside.
Take a bite of the fish meat and it will be sweet and tender. It is a perfect natural delicacy without adding anything.
"Ouch ouch ouch"
The gluttonous Yuan Gungun had just finished eating the field yellow truffles, and when he saw him eating fish, he screamed again.
He glanced at the little guy with a mouthful of oil angrily, cut half of the fish into pieces for him, and Yuan Gungun buried his head in it and began to eat it.
After a while, the meat of the ferocious beast was ready, and the soup made from field yellow truffles and ferocious beast bones was also ready. Gongliang ate fish, barbecue, and drank the soup. The taste was incomparable to even the gods.
Grilled fish, barbecue, bone and truffle soup, everyone ate and drank happily.
Suddenly, there was a "chila" sound of scratching the wooden door from outside. After a while, the sound disappeared, and there was another "bang bang bang bang" and a huge knock on the door. I didn't know what was going on outside, so Mr.
He was so curious that he wanted to open the door and take a look. However, the old hunter in the hunting team did not make a sound. Even the sound of his eating movements became a little softer, and the atmosphere became solemn. He quickly moved softly and put aside all the questions he had.
In the belly, only Yuan Gungun was eating heartily.
It was destined to be a sleepless night. When Gongliang was leaning against the tree wall and squinting to rest, he counted the knocks on the door. There were more than a dozen of them. Each sound was different, and he didn't know what was knocking.
He remembered that he didn't see any animals during the day, so why were there more animals at night?
The next morning, he got up early and walked out of the tree hole. Gongliang found strangely that the stingers of the Bull-headed Fire Bee that were originally stuck on the wooden door had disappeared completely. Not only that, even the bodies of the Bull-headed Fire Bee that were spread on the ground were also missing. They were probably killed by
The things that knocked on the door yesterday were dragged away to eat. In view of the sound of knocking on the door last night, he specifically looked at the ground at the door of the tree hole, and saw countless footprints mixed together, large and small, of all kinds.
"Uncle Dashi, why are there so many wild beasts in the valley?" Gong Liang looked at the footprints and asked Dashi in confusion.
"It's not just wild beasts, there are also some particularly big bugs. Even though the Bull-headed Fire Bee yesterday was big, some are even bigger, even bigger than your little beast."
Gongliang glanced at the plump and round figure and said in disbelief: "There are such big bugs."
"That's because you haven't seen it before. When I was hunting before, I saw a big bug crawling on the mountain wall. It was about this long and big, and its legs were densely packed. It was very scary."
Dashi gestured with his hands, making Gongliang feel doubtful. According to what he said, the insect must be five or six meters wide and twenty or thirty meters long. Do you think he is talking about fantasy? Where can such a big insect come from? Look at Gongliang.
Liang looked unbelieving, and Oishi quickly explained until Gongliang had no choice but to believe it.
After breakfast, the hunting team continued to set off.
Moving forward, the scenery in the valley repeats itself. There are no mushroom forests, no giant trees, and no flowers everywhere. There is only a very ordinary low forest.
There are a lot of medicinal herbs in this forest, so the hunting team started picking herbs here. This time they did not just pick part of the herbs like before, but the whole plant. Gongliang and the other newcomers knew a few trees, and they also helped pick them.
Get up and pick while walking. About an hour later, a big tree with wide roots appears in front of you, blocking the way.
The big tree looks like a willow tree, emitting a faint fluorescent light in the dim valley. Its side roots are as broad as an old banyan tree, and a tree is like a forest.
The tiny roots hanging down from the trees are also fluorescent and flutter gently in the breeze, just like the neon lights in the city, twinkling and very beautiful.
When they arrived here, Kang Lang and Pa Yan took out a piece of animal skin clothing from behind and covered themselves tightly. The exposed eyes seemed to be attached to something, almost transparent.
"Be careful." Bolong said to the two of them.
"Know."
The two of them agreed and walked towards the big tree. The speed was very slow, as if a person's walking was slowed down countless times, which was painful to watch.
"Uncle Dashi, why are they walking so slowly?" Gongliang asked.
"You don't know, this tree is a man-eating tree. There are many furry seeds on the tree. If you move too much and stir up the wind, the seeds will float down and stick to your body. If you are accidentally touched by them on your exposed body parts,
, the seeds will take root and sprout in the body, absorbing the essence of flesh and blood in the human body as nutrients, until they turn into a pile of white bones."
Hearing his words, Gong Liang, Feng Han, and Jin looked at each other. Their hearts were full of furry feelings. They couldn't help but move their feet slightly and stepped back a few steps, fearing that they would be touched by the furry seeds falling from the tree.
Without being driven by the wind, Kang Lang and Pa Yan walked slowly towards the big tree through the layers of tree roots, and gradually reached the root of the tree.
The goal of their trip was to parasitize the roots of trees, a kind of crystal clear ice crystal jade dew that looked like water droplets but had layers upon layers like a lotus platform. When they arrived at the place, they hurriedly dug up, not much, only three.
Hurry out of the range of the man-eating tree.
Bolong stepped forward and took the ice crystal jade dew from their hands.
Others also came forward to help them take off their animal skin clothes and check to see if there were any seeds dropped by the man-eating tree.
Bolong came to Gong Liang and the other three people with ice crystal jade dew, and handed out one to each of them, "You guys have one cup each. Eat it quickly. Eat as much as you can. If you can't eat it, don't force it."
