Chapter 266 269

【269 chapters】

Puqu is in the east.

But Chi Heng couldn't go east, because the tricksters must have formed a net in the east.

Chi Heng chose to go west, thinking that he would be able to go out soon.Unexpectedly, things turned out to be contrary to my wishes, and I became more and more lost, desolate, and humid. I didn’t choose a road just now, but now I’m complaining, the vines and grass under my feet are getting denser, and I accidentally stepped on a mud pit.At noon, the sky was gloomy. Looking up from the dense forest, rotten vines entwined with new trees and new greens entwined with darkness. From time to time, wild elk and unknown birds and beasts ran past. Zhong Xu held Chi Heng's hand tightly and looked up at him. : "General."

Chi Heng stroked his hair: "Don't be afraid."

Xi Shu was surprisingly calm, broke a thick branch and brushed aside the thick decayed leaves on the ground.Tired from walking, I wiped the sweat from my forehead and picked up a clean place to stand.Seeing him so calm, Chi Heng was relieved, and he could divide his mind and pay attention to his surroundings.

From time to time there was a hoarse squawking sound in the sky, and a big black bird flew by and landed on a branch not far away. Its feathers were particularly black, as black as the pupils of a blind man, and its wings were bigger than an eagle, sharp Its claws, sharp round pupils, and eyes like thin hooks greedily look at the prey in front of it.Chi Heng glanced at it and frowned: "Xi Shu, have you seen this kind of bird?"

Xi Shu stared: "The crow? The crow is not so big. The vulture? The vulture is usually fiery red."

With a long howl, the black bird swooped down suddenly.

Chi Heng blocked the two of them from behind, grabbed hold of the branch and yanked them fiercely, the black bird skimmed the ground nimbly and flew towards another branch, settled down, and flew away with a rustle.Chi Heng didn't relax, instead he was worried. The black bird is not particularly big, but it is surprisingly bold and ferocious. It dares to covet even a lively living person. What kind of bird is it?What are your habits?

Xi Shu picked up a feather that had fallen from the bird. The feather was particularly bright, glowing like obsidian.

Feathers are not smooth circles, but sharp diamonds.

Chi Heng has seen many strange birds, but he has never seen this one, and unknowingly, the trees around him have become different from usual, they are all tall and strong, with dense branches and leaves, and complicated root systems.The tree where the black bird perched was very strange, slowly dripping black sap, Chi Heng wanted to touch it with his hand, but Xi Shu hurriedly stopped him: "Don't move, be careful, your hand will be useless." Chi, Chi Heng flicked his sleeve, and a drop of sap fell.

It was as black as ink, and although it was just a drop of clothes, it fainted and gradually festered into a hole the size of a finger.

Chi Heng swung the dagger, and a piece of robe fell down.

Xi Shu suddenly opened his eyebrows: "I remembered, there is a record in "Shuzhou Chronicles": there is a bird named mallard vulture, which likes to live in ink trees, likes to peck its fine eyes, and likes to attack in groups. , definitely a group, we'd better go!"

Just as the voice fell, a group of roars were heard.

Say it and come!

Chi Heng yelled that it was not good, and hurriedly grabbed Zhong Xu with a whip in one hand and grabbed Zhong Xu with the other, and shouted at Xi Shu: "These ghosts are really coming in groups, what are you doing in a daze, hurry up!"

The three of them ran wildly all the way to the deeper side, besides there were trees as black as ink, dense grass as white as snow, and vines as red as blood. When chasing mallards away from time to time, Chi Heng's branches accidentally pulled out A branch of red vine burst out with a blushing sound, and Xi Shu couldn't dodge it. Chi Heng flicked his sleeves to cover Xi Shu's face and neck, and the "blood" in the red vine burst out. Xi Shu's whole body and Chi Heng's sleeve.

It looked like blood dripping, Xi Shu smiled.

Without further ado, Chi Heng quickly took off his coat: "Are you stupid? Quickly take it off, I don't know what the hell it is!"

Fortunately, it looked horrifying, and nothing more horrifying happened. Xi put on thin clothes and smiled: "It doesn't matter. Everything in the world is poisonous, I don’t know, is it.”

When is it, and are you still in the mood to think about this?

"The tree said that the scorpion is the natural enemy of the mallard vulture, so it should be safe here."

When Chi Heng turned his head, the mallards and vultures were gone, as if they had heard a secret order and sneaked into the forest at the same time, as expected, one thing beat the other, but they disappeared so suddenly, and they would suddenly appear again to attack at some point.

The three of them didn't dare to stay longer, and rushed forward all the way. When the sun set, the scenery of the deep forest finally became less eerie and weird. Under the magnificent sunset, the flowers in the deep forest in February were extremely gorgeous.These flowers are all big, full of water, bright red, purple, and thick yellow, all of which are ostentatious and have a strong fragrance.The attracted bees and butterflies were also surprisingly large, three or four times the size they had seen before, and looked very strange.

The trees, too, were less ghastly, becoming low and curly.

Of course, the three of them had no intention of watching the scenery.

They were chasing and killing by treacherous men for their lives, and they were also escaping the sneak attacks of vultures. Those who escaped desperately were already starving.There are deep forests, undulating highlands, and gurgling streams. The water is very clear. Chi Heng asked, "Is there anything strange about this water?"

Xi Shu rubbed his arms: "Probably not."

Chi Heng tried to put his hand into the stream, the water was very clear and cool, no different from ordinary water.Zhong Xu wanted to drink, but Chi Heng stopped him.Xi Shu smiled, rolled up his long sleeves, showed his white wrists, and held up a handful of stream water: "Don't worry, if those are ducks and eagles, then this stream is Changshou River. It is said that people who drink it Longevity!" After saying that, he took a sip.

Chi Heng breathed a sigh of relief: "Is this place famous?"

Xi Shu smiled: "I just occasionally read the local chronicles of Shuzhou, and when I saw strange places, I remembered them." Later, Chi Heng found out that Xi Shu is well-read and knowledgeable, and he has a photographic memory. Remember, he is also a strange person.

Chi Heng looked around: "Why haven't I heard of such a strange place in Shuzhou?"

Xi Shu said: "It only exists in Unofficial History..."

"Hush... I saw a wild elk, wait a moment! Don't wander around!" After finishing speaking, Chi Heng turned around and left, he saw more than one wild elk gliding across the flowers.

There is no bow and arrow, no big knife, but none of these troubles him. Chi Heng can always hunt what he wants in this kind of place. When a long branch pierces the neck of a wild elk, blood flows.

Chi Heng took out the dagger and ended its suffering.

A brook full of aquatic plants, a wild elk enough to satisfy hunger, Xi Shu looked at the sky and said: "I'm afraid it's going to rain, we have to find a place to hide, if it gets wet, it will be troublesome, I just said I saw a protruding rock, maybe I can hide there."

The voice just fell, and it really started to rain, with a hissing cold air.

The three of them ran to the rock, and the slanting rain hit them. They had no choice but to walk along the rock. As they walked, they suddenly found a sunken cave, which seemed to have been dug open by someone. The three of them went inside. Once hiding, at least there is no wind or rain.

Chi Heng dragged the wild moose and said with emotion: "This place is good, look at it!"

Chi Heng spent a long time trying to light the fire.

After all, the flames got higher and higher, and the wild elk was roasted deliciously.On the rising flames, Chi Heng tore off a wild moose leg and handed it to Zhong Xu. Zhong Xu took a bite carefully, with sharp teeth, and then chewed quickly. His eyes flicked past Chi Heng, and he licked his lips with the tip of his tongue, still wanting more.

Chi Heng couldn't bear it, and threw another one away.

Cut the remaining cooked wild elk meat into slices and put them in front of the mat for him to eat.Xi Shu was not too polite, twisted a piece into his mouth, and smiled while eating: "You are a powerful dagger, you can cut branches, make fire, and cut meat..."

"You can still pick your teeth." Chi Heng joked.

Xi Shu smiled crookedly and added a piece of firewood.One wild elk is enough, and three people can't finish it.

Chi Heng is best at hunting wild animals in the mountains and forests. He is also familiar with all kinds of edible wild vegetables and wild mushrooms, and even some bark can satisfy hunger after boiling. He knows clearly that although there are many strange things, it is a deep forest. There will be everything that should be there - the most important thing is to rest first and let your strength recover.

After a day of running around, I can now take a breather.

Just when he was about to lean on the rock, his hands were hooked, Zhong Xu raised his head worriedly: "When can we go out?"

Chi Heng pinched his smooth cheeks and patted him affectionately: "Don't be afraid, the general is here."

Caressing his slender spine.

Chi Heng said: "Zhong Xu, do you like guns? After returning to Zhaojin, I will hire you an instructor master to keep your men invincible!"

He rubbed his nose again and didn't speak.

Chi Heng couldn't help lowering his head, and touched the tip of his nose with his nose, Zhong Xu took a step back, blinking his eyes quickly.Chi Heng laughed at himself, and turned to look at the blazing flames.
