our supernatural life

For an hour or so, nothing more happened to them, and they kept on going.But trekking in the forest is quite exhausting.There was too much moisture in the air, and it was difficult to breathe. In addition, it was almost noon, and the temperature rose, and it was humid and hot. My whole body was sticky, and I wanted to take off my clothes to dry my flesh.

Hengrou was the biggest and the hottest, cursing the damp air as he walked.After walking for about an hour and a half, he couldn't take it anymore, so he took off his jacket, tied his sleeves around his waist, and wiped his sweat with his hands: "Hey, it's cooler here! I was so hot that I was dizzy just now." , Don’t you have heatstroke? Why do I feel a little dizzy and nauseous..."

Before he finished speaking, the dwarf who was walking behind him suddenly gasped, turned his head nervously, and saw the dwarf pointing at him with doubts on his face: "Why are you covered with purple spots all over your body? Did you hit it just now?"

Maimai and the woman walked in front, and when they heard the dwarf's call, Maimai looked back and was also startled.The arms and chest where the flesh was exposed outside the vest were covered with little purple spots, each about the size of a mung bean, like some subcutaneous bleeding spots, and they were evenly distributed.If you look carefully, there are actually some fleshy neck and face, but not much, and he is tanned, and his head and face are covered with muddy water, so you can't see it if you don't pay attention.Now that he has taken off his shirt, his skin is slightly lighter, which is obvious.

The military adviser came over and took a look, frowning: "What's going on? When did you have it?"

Hengrou was puzzled on his face: "I don't know..." He moved a bit, and felt that he didn't feel uncomfortable, but his head was a little dizzy, "It's nothing, just a little dizzy, it's too hot." He took off the vest, and sure enough, his body was covered with purple spots from his chest to his abdomen to his back, and there were also spots on his waist.He rolled up his trousers again to have a look, and his legs were also covered with purple spots.Mai Mai noticed that his shoes were already clean, and those transparent and flat bugs were gone now.

"Dizziness?" The military master was most afraid of what kind of poison the woman had put into their drinking water. He quickly checked his arm and found that there were no such purple spots, nor did anyone else. He was relieved and pressed a piece of purple spot with his hand. ,"pain?"

"It's a bit--" Hengrou's words hadn't finished yet, and everyone saw that the purple spot that was pressed by the military master moved to the side, avoiding his fingers.

Everyone's complexion changed abruptly.Hengrou opened his mouth halfway: "This, this, this--" He didn't say anything for a long time. He raised his hand and patted his arm tremblingly.After this shot, all the purple spots that were photographed suddenly started to move, and they let out a groan, raised their arms and stared in horror: "What, what are these things?"

No one could answer him.The strategist drew out his gun and pointed at the woman: "You, come here, what is this?"

The woman glanced at it from a distance, and replied blankly: "He probably has a stroke."

"What?" The military division didn't understand.But there is no need to ask anymore, the slap that Hengrou slapped seemed to startle the purple spots. From the position where he slapped, the purple spots started to move from the center to the surroundings like ripples washed out by a stone.Hengrou let out a miserable scream with a different tone, and stretched out his hand to grab his arm forcefully.His nails were cut very short, and it was not easy to scratch his skin, but his skin seemed to have become as thin as a piece of paper. When he scratched it off, a large piece of skin was lifted, revealing the bright red flesh inside.So everyone saw that there were mung bean-sized worms crawling under his skin and on his flesh, and his whole body was blood red, even redder than his flesh, but there was not much blood oozing from the place where he scratched. Come.

Hengrou screamed heart-piercingly, while tearing off his belt, scratching all over his body.Wherever he caught, the skin was peeled off in large chunks, and the inside was full of that kind of worm.He crushed a few of them to death during the tearing, and blood splashed out from the plump worms, as if all the blood in his body had been sucked by those worms.The worms were alarmed and started to burrow into his flesh. On the neck and face where the skin was still intact, purple spots moved up quickly and burrowed all the way to the top of his head.

The strategist's lips were pale, he lowered the muzzle of the gun, and pulled the trigger expressionlessly.A gunshot opened a hole in Hengrou's chest, but no blood flowed out.Hengrou twitched a few times and didn't move.All the people were so shocked that they couldn't even think of going away, so they formed a circle and looked at him silently.After a few minutes, the fleshy temple twitched, a hole was opened, and a little white stuff flowed out. Then, a bright red worm crawled out and burrowed into the grass, and then another, and then another. , one after another, lined up in a line, crawled out continuously, and then got into the grass.

The dwarf suddenly yelled, jumped up like a madman, took off his clothes to check, even took off his trousers, and pulled down his underwear.The military commander turned pale and gave him a hard slap before he woke up, standing there half naked in a daze.

The military commander himself was also afraid, but he was still calm. He first bent down and lifted up his trousers to see if there was anything wrong with his legs. Tight, and finally tie the cuffs.While doing these things in an orderly manner, he asked the woman coldly: "What did you just say?"

The woman had been standing and watching from a distance, and at this time she replied coldly: "Qi, it's a kind of bug. If you explain it in detail, you don't understand."

The military master tied up his clothes, and the bugs on Hengrou's body stopped crawling out, and it seemed that they were all gone.He came closer, stretched out his arms and used a dagger to pry open the cloth strips wrapped around his fleshy legs, revealing the swollen wounds.I saw that the flesh around the wound was swollen, but the skin was full of tiny holes like a fishnet.The strategist looked at it, turned around and pointed at Mai: "Show me the wound on your leg!"

Xiaomai wanted to understand the origin of these bugs a little earlier than he did. Thinking of the wound on his leg, and thinking of the itching, he couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling. Needless to say, he was already undoing the bandage.However, there was nothing unusual about his wound, his skin was of a normal color, and there were no tiny holes, and there was even a tendency to heal.The military commander looked at it for a while with a gloomy face, then suddenly pointed his gun at the woman: "What grass did you put on the wounds of the two of them?"

The woman stood nonchalantly, as if she didn't see the muzzle of the gun: "Hemostatic grass, everyone here knows how to use it."

The military division took a step closer: "Then why is he fine?"

The woman glanced at the fleshy corpse lightly: "He has a heavy body odor, a high temperature, and no eyes. He hunts prey entirely on smell and temperature."

Mai knew she was lying.When the woman chewed herbs for him, he saw the appearance of that kind of grass, which was indeed similar to the grass she applied to the flesh, but the roots were different.The grass roots applied to him are white, and the grass roots applied to Hengrou are green.Of course, because there is soil on the grass roots, you can't notice the slight difference unless you look carefully.

The strategist didn't fully believe the woman's words, although wheat did have a difference in body odor and body temperature compared to hunk meat.However, he couldn't say anything more at this time, killing the woman, it was obvious that it was impossible for them to get out.Although two people died within a few hours after walking through the door banyan tree, but they didn't die on their own head, so they always felt that there was still hope.The military adviser thought over and over again, but he could only shake his gun and threaten coldly: "Be careful! If you still want to go back to see your husband, just lead the way honestly! Otherwise, I will kill you first!"

The woman looked away from the fleshy corpse, and said lightly: "I will see my husband, let's go."

The back of the wheat felt cold for a while.He can now be sure that the woman brought them to a road of no return.The woman turned her head and glanced at him, her lips moved, it took a while for Xiaomai to understand, what she said was: "I'm sorry."

Wheat's brain buzzed.Although he knew that his life was short, and even though he knew that passing Menrong would be dangerous, he still held some hope. People don't want to die, even if they can only live for a while longer.However, the three simple words of woman now seemed to push him into the abyss, and it was like pouring a bucket of ice water on his head in the dog days, almost knocking him down.

The military adviser asked the others to tie up the cuffs of their trousers, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Mai Mai standing there blankly, and unceremoniously stabbed him with a gun: "Go! Why are you in a daze! If you are in a daze again, I will kill you!"

Wheat moved forward mechanically.He didn't even notice where he was going, and staggered along until he tripped over something and fell in the grass.He bumped into a plantain-shaped plant. The plant was shaken, and with a bang, water poured down from the leaves two or three times, icily pouring on his head.Although the woods were sweltering and steamy, the water in the leaves of these plants was cold, pouring it down all over the place, and the wheat suddenly woke up.He sat up and looked at his hands, they were scratched by something, and there were red threads, but fortunately, the skin was not broken.Wheat pressed it with his hand, and it tingled slightly.At this moment, he suddenly felt extremely clear-headed: Although his life is not long, he doesn't want to die here. The woman also said before entering the door that if he is lucky... that means, it is not absolutely impossible to get out of this place!Maybe the hope is very small, but he has to work hard!In his short twenty years of life, he has been working hard, whether it is career or love, he has been working hard. Although he has been hit repeatedly, he has never given up, and it is the same now.If he is destined to have a life of failure, at least he hopes to end it in struggle.

The military division and others were startled by his sudden fall, and they all stood and watched from a distance, only the woman came to pull the wheat up.She brushed the dirt off his clothes and said in a low voice: "Be careful, try not to have any wounds here, if you get hurt, pull out that kind of grass, you know it."

Wheat nodded.Sitting on the ground, he also tied up his trousers and cuffs, then tightened his backpack, and stood up: "Let's go."

Shao Jing saw the two tall banyan trees and the entrance formed by the roots at around 01:30 in the afternoon.After a rain, the roots of the tree are covered with green vines, which are gratifyingly green in the sun.The little beetle crawling on the back of Shao Jing's hand squirmed, and the two almost invisible tentacles on its head wobbled a few times, as if it felt something.Based on the experience of the past half a day, Shao Jing already knew what this unknown Gu worm meant - its kind was behind the tree root wall.

Although he was burning with anxiety, Shao Jing still didn't rush in.Ever since he saw the Gu worm spit out by the man, he expected that there must be something in this forest that cannot be deduced by common sense.To be able to use Gu to extend her life, this woman must be a master of Gu, but she didn't use Gu to deal with those robbers directly in the car, presumably because all her Gu were used to extend her husband's life.Now that she dared to lead six robbers with guns alone, there must be something in this forest that guns can't deal with, and it is very likely that they will kill people invisible.What's more, this is a tropical jungle, where countless weird and dangerous plants and animals grow.For example, these vines now, they don't have leaves.

Of course, not all vines have leaves.Some parasitic vines rely entirely on absorbing nutrients from the host body, do not need photosynthesis by themselves, and naturally do not need leaves; there are also some plants that have no leaves, but are green in themselves and can also survive well, but such a A large vine without leaves, without any other kind of plants, at least shows that this kind of vine is exclusive, and the exclusive plants either secrete some kind of irritating substance to inhibit the growth of other plants, or -- it's strangling plants.

Shao Jing has a little experience in living in the wild.He has participated in a one-year celestial master training camp, where young celestial masters are trained in physical strength, fighting and field survival. Of course, it is not as strict as in the army, but veterans are specially invited to guide the training .Nothing else, celestial master is actually a dangerous profession. Even if you can draw amulets and cast spells, if you can't even dodge the first attack of monsters and ghosts, I'm afraid there will be no chance to show you your learning results.Naturally, the celestial masters would not regard this kind of training as a major subject, but Shao Jing, an awkward kid, was just the opposite of others at that time. He spent a lot of energy on it. Subjects, on the contrary, he was absent-minded. In the end, he flew all the main subjects at low altitude, becoming the most hated student of that class.

Shao Jing still remembered that the first lesson that the retired special forces instructor taught them was: when you see unfamiliar plants in the wild, the first thing to do is to observe them.Due to the limitation of training conditions, it is impossible for these young celestial masters to be airdropped into various jungles for field training. Therefore, for the places where they cannot go, the instructors can only sum up some experience to teach them, just in case there is something wrong. One day, they could come in handy.

This area of ​​vines is widely distributed, and in the field of vision, all the air roots of banyan trees are covered, the thickest one is no more than the thickness of a thumb, hanging loosely on the air roots, it looks gentle and harmless, but Shao Jing carefully After watching for a while, I suddenly found something - all these vines, their tips are slightly tilted upwards, like snakes, watching their prey, ready to attack at all times.

Shao Jing felt a slight layer of cold sweat on his back.Climbing plants have a high auxin content on the tips, so they can climb upwards continuously. However, such a large area of ​​vines maintains the upward posture of the tips without exception, which makes people feel hairy.

The Gu worm in his hand suddenly crawled uneasily, flapping its wings a few times, as if it was about to fly.This happened once around eight o'clock this morning. According to Shao Jing's pitifully little knowledge of Gu, it was the reaction of Gu insects when they found danger. However, Shao Jing was only walking in the jungle at that time and did not encounter any Dangerous, so he judged that the one who was in danger was the owner of the Gu worm, that woman, and since Mai Mai and the woman were together, they must also be in danger, so he was in a panic at the time, but fortunately the Gu worm calmed down quickly, and he Just a little relieved.However, the commotion of the Gu insects this time was more severe than the previous one. What happened to Xiaomai?

Shao Jing tentatively took a few steps toward the Qigen wall, and as he approached, the tips of the vines closest to him trembled slightly, and rose slightly.Shao Jing frowned, and after walking a few more steps, there were already vines trying to reach him.Shao Jing picked up a branch and poked the vine, just as soon as it touched it, the vine immediately rolled up, entangled the branch, and dragged the branch out of Shao Jing's hand abruptly, but it soon discovered that it was a The inanimate thing let go again and stretched towards Shao Jing again.Shao Jing stood still, but reached down with his right hand, took out the dagger that he carried with him, and calmly waited for the vine to climb up his left arm.This is a bit risky, but he can only use this method to find out where the danger of these vines is, otherwise, he doesn't know when he will be able to pass through this air root wall, and the Gu worm in his hand is still spinning around. It even flew up from his hand, turned around a little and landed again, this restlessness made Shao Jing even more anxious.

The vine wrapped itself around Shao Jing's left arm, quickly wrapped it twice, and then moved its tip lightly. Shao Jing felt that it seemed to be looking for something.This time he took a closer look at the vine. It was only as thick as a little finger, and it was green all over. However, the outer skin was not like a plant, but a bit tough like cowhide. rubbed against each other, gradually moving towards the inside of his upper arm.

Shao Jing suddenly picked up the tip of the vine with the tip of the knife, and pulled out his hand violently.This thing is definitely not a vine!At that moment just now, he saw the tiny protrusions on the tips of the "vines" suddenly elongate a little, and were about to pierce into the blood vessels on the inside of his arm.And when he opened the tip, he saw those tiny protrusions, which looked like the mouthparts of some kind of bug.This thing is not a vine, but a bug whose name he doesn't know!Blood-sucking bugs!
