Blue, Red and White Dark Abyss Cauldron

Chapter 349 Dangerous Road (2)

Everyone lay on the top of the mountain, panting heavily, feeling the cool breeze on the top of the mountain, and couldn't help laughing.

Su Mishun said, "We have an ancient legend in Yutuo City. A long time ago, the camel mother saved the world by carrying people up the Yashan Mountain over and over again. She climbed the mountain 36,000 times, and only then did the people of Yutuo City not get harmed by the evil spirits. We have only climbed four or five times, and we are far inferior to the camel mother..."

Ling Weidou asked curiously, "Brother Shunzi, the camel mother is so powerful, is she still alive now?"

Su Mishun shook his head and said, "I heard that after going to Yashan, the camel mother turned her flesh into food and her blood into clear water, which has been eaten by the people of Yutuo City..."

Everyone was silent, thinking that this camel mother was so kind, no wonder she was remembered by the world. The original Jade City was therefore renamed Jade Camel City.

Wu Sheng said, "This camel mother is really big. It is enough to feed tens of thousands of people for several months or even a year."

Wangang quickly scolded: "Don't talk nonsense to the ancient gods, kid!"

After resting for a while, I looked at the steep stone slope under my feet and realized that I could no longer go down. There was no other way but to keep moving forward.

The ridgeline at the top of the slope is relatively gentle, and there are traces of the Hoofed People along the way, with occasional drops of blood, making them easy to distinguish.

At the beginning, everyone was very happy, thinking that they had not lost them and that they would be caught up and killed sooner or later. But later, they began to become worried, not knowing what the result would be when they finally caught up with them. What if they encountered evil spirits like Yin Sheng Ya and Black and White Saber Tooth, they would be in big trouble.

There was no other way around, so I had to continue walking along this path.

The terrain went down slowly, and the ridge gradually turned into a valley. The forest became denser and denser, and the strange trees and vines on both sides gradually squeezed in, leaving only a foot wide "road" for people to pass through. Fortunately, there were no more strange rocks and steep slopes, so it was much easier to walk.

The sky gradually darkened. The mountains were high and the forests were dense. In the forest, mosquitoes began to fly out from the rotten leaves and grass, buzzing more and more.

The horses were bitten by mosquitoes and were whimpering. They kept shaking their ears and slapping their tails, and they looked very impatient. Everyone had to break some branches to help drive them away. However, these mosquitoes not only bit the horses, but also the people. Zhang Hou slapped a mosquito that was biting on the back of his hand to death. He lifted it up and saw that its belly was big and white, more than four or five times bigger than the mosquitoes on the grassland. He shouted, "Everyone, look, have you seen such a big mosquito in your city? Mu Tou, do you have any on Baihua Island? Tsk tsk, it's really exciting!"

Everyone kept calling him disgusting.

Lin Zhen said: "I know what this mosquito is called."

Zhang Hou asked, "What's your name?"

"It's called the Thick-skinned Midge."

"Pachydermida? I've never heard of it. It's really different."

"Yes, everyone dislikes it, but it insists on sticking to their bodies and can't be driven away, so it's called the thick-skinned mosquito."

Everyone knew that he was cursing Zhang Hou indirectly, so they all started laughing.

Zhang Hou finally understood, and he laughed and said, "Xiao Zhen'er, you actually dare to make fun of your brother Hou'er, be careful of these thick-skinned mosquitoes that will stick to you at night and suck all your blood!"

The darker it got, the more mosquitoes there were. Although each of the nine people had a torch, they still felt unbearable and wanted to burn down the beast mountain. However, the forest was deep and dense, and they didn't dare to burn the mountain. They had to speed up their pace, hoping to get out of this hellhole as soon as possible.

They didn't know how long they had been walking, but everyone was exhausted. They finally found a spacious place. They didn't care about mosquitoes anymore and sat down on the ground one by one to catch their breath.

Chu Xiaomu was stronger than the other eight people, so he cut some random branches and made a big fire. Among them, there was a kind of branch full of fine leaves, which burned like thick fur on the grassland. The smoke was very thick and had a faint strange fragrance. The magical thing was that when mosquitoes encountered the smoke from the burning branches, they fell down one after another, kicked off a few long legs on the ground, and died.

Everyone was overjoyed. They used torches to break off a bunch of thin-leaved branches and threw them on the fire, creating smoke that filled the entire hillside. The stupid mosquitoes didn't have time to fly away and were all suffocated to death on the spot. People and horses were finally no longer bothered by mosquitoes.

Chu Xiaomu sighed in his heart, Uncle Huai was right, all things are interdependent and mutually restrained, no matter what the thing or the law is, there is always a way to restrain it in this world.

Without the bites of mosquitoes, the horses calmed down and fell asleep on the ground early.

Everyone was very tired, so after chatting for a while, they lay down by the fire and fell asleep.

It is often said that the Beast Mountain is dangerous, so Chu Xiaomu did not dare to be careless. The night sentry duty naturally fell to him as the captain. When practicing the "Returning to the Stars Technique", he would involuntarily enter a state of emptiness and clarity without any thoughts, so he did not dare to practice here. He could only sit near the fire and stare blankly, adding a few dry firewood branches from time to time to prevent the bonfire from going out.

But the night was long and hard to endure, Chu Xiaomu's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he didn't know when he entered a dream of nothingness.

In a daze, he suddenly felt someone pushing him. Chu Xiaomu sat up with a start, and saw that it was already light, and Qisheng was pushing him with his head. Just as he was about to scold Qisheng for making noise, he heard a burst of rustling sounds, which seemed to come from all directions.

Chu Xiaomu rubbed his eyes and looked around. It would have been fine if he hadn't looked, but when he looked, he almost lost his soul. He saw that not far from the people, there were densely packed red insects as thick as little fingers, like a layer of red leaves on the ground.

These long worms kept wriggling, competing to eat the dead mosquitoes that fell to the ground.

The horses tied to the side were already panicking, kicking their hooves and making chirping noises. The people were so exhausted that they were sleeping so soundly that no one heard the unusual noises.

Chu Xiaomu shouted, "Brother Xiaogang, Brother Xiaozhen, Brother Deer... Get up! Get up!"

Several people sat up with sleepy eyes and cursed, "What the hell are you doing, Mu Tou? Are you going to let us sleep?!"

Chu Xiaomu pointed around and said, "Look!"

When everyone looked closely, they all jumped up in shock.

Su Mishun screamed and jumped up from the ground, hugging Wang Gang beside him, his body shaking violently uncontrollably.

Zhang Hou asked tremblingly: "Where... where did... so many strange things come from?"

Chu Xiaomu shook his head and said, "I don't know either. These bugs ate all the mosquito corpses. It looks like they followed them. We can't stay here for long. Let's pack up and leave!"
