People in Zong Tomb, Jieling Pirates

Chapter 288 Entering the Forest

"stop!"

But Hu Bayi was stopped by Wang Kaixuan just as he was halfway through his words.

The fat man waited for Hu Ba to stop and asked directly: "Old Hu, what are you talking about? Do the climate and plants of this place have anything to do with where we should go?"

Hu Bayi said helplessly: "Why doesn't it matter? What I mean is that the vegetation here is too dense and there are many extremely tall sky-gazing trees, so the environment here is difficult to understand with common sense. You need to be cautious about whether to enter the forest or not."

consider."

"Then just say no and it's over. What's the point of doing so much?" Wang Kaixuan felt that Hu Bayi was suspected of showing off.

You think it’s just the two of us here, and I’m not allowed to explain the reason to others!

Hu Bayi complained silently in his heart.

But he did not say this, but continued: "The only feature we know now is that there is a remnant wall in the Worm Valley. It is the remains of the ancient wall left when the tomb of King Xian was built. As long as we can find it,

That remaining wall can confirm the approximate location of Worm Valley."

"There are currently two methods before us. One is to look for the Snake River along the mountains to the north, and then follow the Snake River into the valley. The other is to follow the snake path directly into the forest and look for the original ancient city wall from inside.

ruins, this can also achieve the goal."

After finishing speaking, Hu Bayi looked at the others, wanting to hear their opinions.

In fact, everyone knows that these two methods are the most reliable nowadays, and the other methods are unnecessary and thankless.

"Why don't we just follow that snake path? I'm afraid we'll encounter that saber-toothed viper fish again in the Snake River." After a moment of silence, Wang Kaixuan said worriedly.

When it comes to what he least wants to encounter right now, the Saber-Toothed Viperfish definitely ranks first. Not even the Giant Blue-Scaleed Python scares him as much as this thing.

After all, although the giant blue-scaled python is difficult to deal with, there are ways to deal with it, but the saber-toothed viperfish is simply unsolvable. Unless they can get out of the water as soon as they encounter the opponent, they will never be able to resist it.

Hearing Wang Kaixuan's words, the other people's faces also looked a little ugly, obviously they didn't want to face a creature like the Sabertooth Viperfish again.

However, Shirley Yang thought about it for a while and said softly: "I don't think you need to worry too much about this. When I was a photojournalist for Geographic magazine, I had to go out to work, so I came into contact with a lot of information on rare animals and plants. It happened to be

There has been a saber-toothed viperfish, which can be traced back to the tiger-toothed fish in the water during the post-glacial period. Everyone has seen its ferocity. However, the saber-toothed viperfish has an obvious weakness, that is, they can only live in temperatures where

Survive in cooler waters.”

"In other words, the saber-toothed viperfish will not easily come to the outside waters." Hu Bayi said thoughtfully.

Shirley Yang nodded: "Yes, they will only go to areas with high water temperatures when they are laying eggs, but it is not the spawning period now, so we just need to be careful when we go back."

This is not just a casual comment, but if they return along the original route, they are likely to encounter this group of evil fish in the water again on the way.

After hearing Shirley Yang's explanation, several people relaxed slightly and began to think about the two options before them again.

If it is certain that there is no hidden danger of sabertooth viperfish, it will undoubtedly be safer to follow the mountain to find the Snake River.

But for some reason, several people all felt at this moment that it might be better to go along the snake path not far away.

"I feel like those human figurines are not as simple as feeding the sabertooth viper fish. The waterways here are complicated, and there might be something else in them." Shirley Yang thought of the human figurines just now and suddenly said this.

After hearing her words, Chen Ziyan said directly: "King Xian is very knowledgeable in the art of killing. Shirley's worry is not unreasonable. I think it is better for us to go by land, even if we are really in danger."

, and there is room for turnover.”

The water area here is too complex, and taking the water route is not a good choice, and it is likely to cause deviations. Chen Ziyan feels that it is better to just take the snake path.

After all, this green-scaled giant python can be regarded as a member of the top of the food chain in this valley, and there will not be too powerful creatures in its activity area.

Furthermore, if he takes the wrong path, it will go beyond his plan.

Although Chen Ziyan had his own little thoughts in what he said, it has to be said that it still makes sense.

Wang Kaixuan was the first to express his support: "I think Master Chen's words are reasonable. Even if he encounters a tiger in the woods, Fatty would dare to give it a try, but something like a saber-toothed viperfish is really unreasonable."

No matter how hard you try, you can't help it."

After thinking for a while, Hu Bayi nodded and said: "We can give it a try. The water conditions here are complex and extremely winding. In fact, it may not be much safer than the jungle. Besides, even if we walk along the mountain...

"

Speaking of this, Hu Bayi pointed to the bottom of the cliff not far away: "Eighty percent of it is also necessary to walk through the jungle. In fact, the difference is not that big."

Ding Sitian took out a small sachet from her pocket and said: "The biggest threat to us in this kind of forest should be the various poisonous insects that are difficult to prevent, but we have this insect repellent sachet in hand, so we don't need it.

Worry about that.”

It seemed like she was just talking about the sachet, but in fact she was also expressing her approval from the side.

But this is also very reasonable. Walking through these leafy forests and avoiding snakes, insects, rats, and ants is more energy-consuming than opening a road.

After Ding Sitian finished speaking, several people turned their eyes to Shirley Yang, waiting for her decision.

In fact, when things have reached this point, personal opinions no longer matter.

But Shirley Yang has a strong sense of presence along the way, and the sources of many things are revealed slowly, so her opinions are very important.

Shirley Yang was now convinced. Seeing everyone looking at her, she smiled and said, "You have successfully convinced me. I have to admit that this path is more suitable."

After getting her answer, several people immediately looked at each other and smiled.

Instead of setting off immediately, everyone found a flat place nearby, had a quick bite to eat and refreshed themselves, and then followed the snake path towards the depths of the dense forest.

Thanks to the existence of snake paths and insect repellent sachets, their journey was relatively easy. However, the forest became more and more crowded as they walked, and there were no butterflies in sight in the depths. All they could see were dense vines and vines.

It is to fill the gaps between the trees.

But until night fell and the forest was shrouded in darkness, they couldn't find anything noteworthy.

Apart from various plants, nothing else was found along the way.
