People in Zong Tomb, Jieling Pirates

Chapter 289 Night Chat

Seeing that nothing would be discovered in a short time, Chen Ziyan said: "How about we stop here today? Let's find a place to camp first."

The forest at night is more dangerous than during the day. In addition, it has reached the outskirts of the blue-scaled python's activity area, so it is not suitable to continue exploring.

"It's not very good here." Hu Bayi looked around the surroundings and said with a frown.

This place is full of dense trees. Although the tent can barely fit in, the safety hazard is too great, not to mention the water source is also an issue that cannot be ignored.

Chen Ziyan understood what Hu Bayi meant and said: "Look around, there may be a shortage of other things here, but it is not difficult to find the water source."

As Chen Ziyan said, it is not difficult to find a water source in such a place, so it didn't take long for them to find a small pool nearby.

There is an open space around the pool. Although moisture is inevitable, they are well prepared and have moisture-proof mats, so this is not a hindrance.

After choosing a temporary campsite, several people divided the work and started working.

Although there was an insect repellent sachet, Shirley Yang still took Ding Sitian's flashlight and carefully checked whether there were any snakes or scorpions hidden nearby.

When Chen Ziyan, who was setting up a tent, saw this, he suddenly thought of his own domain device. It seemed that his treasure was more useful in this regard than the insect repellent sachet.

However, he did not stop the two women's movements, but silently decided to take the time to arrange the domain equipment later to add a layer of security to their temporary camp.

After Chen Ziyan finished setting up the tents, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan also cleaned up the temporary camp and lit a fire with fuel not far from the two tents.

After setting up the camping pot and boiling some filtered spring water, the few people who had replenished their water began to prepare today's dinner.

After the food they had brought with them was heated up and a pot of soup made with dehydrated vegetables, several people started chatting while eating.

Wang Kaixuan wolfed down the can and stuffed it into his mouth. He said vaguely during the chewing time: "You said it would be great if we could meet a rabbit, and we can also taste game food."

Chen Ziyan said without thinking: "Don't even think about rabbits. The only poisons left in this place are probably those."

They saw a lot of snakes, insects, rats, and ants along the way, but they didn't see any normal animals.

"Actually, there are a lot of delicacies in these insects. As the saying goes, there are eighteen strange things in Yunnan, and insects are made into dishes." Hearing this, Hu Bayi said this.

Wang Kaixuan swallowed the food in his mouth in a few seconds, and said with some yearning: "Yes, I have heard people say before that 'three mosquitoes make a dish', and 'grasshoppers can be eaten as a side dish with wine'.

I haven’t had a chance to see it before. We won’t be in a hurry to go back after we finish this trip, but we have to taste the special delicacies here.”

Then, as if some strange switch had been turned on, the guy rattled off a lot of relevant rumors that he had heard from hearsay before.

It can be said that this special delicacy is rare in the world. If you don't try it, it will be like missing out on a treasure.

It stands to reason that everyone who speaks plain language like Wang Kaixuan will not believe everything, but everyone present is a little bit curious.

It would have been fine if I hadn't heard this, but now that I've heard it, I can't help but want to give it a try.

They all planned to experience the special delicacies that Wang Kaixuan mentioned after coming out of King Xian's Tomb, so that their trip to Caiyunnan would not be in vain.

After finishing the meal, several people stopped chatting. After arranging the night watch personnel, they went back to their tents to rest.

After all, we will continue to explore tomorrow, and the best thing to do is to recover as much as possible at this time.

The person responsible for guarding the first half of the night was Chen Ziyan, while the person responsible for guarding the second half of the night was Huahu. This arrangement can be regarded as Chen Ziyan, the leader of the team, defeated Du Gang.

If he didn't want to cover up, Chen Ziyan would have asked Huahu to come in the middle of the night. After all, Puppet Armor didn't need to rest.

Sitting alone in front of the campfire, Chen Ziyan was fine at first, but after a while he felt a little bored.

Unfortunately, to save trouble, only two tents were set up, one for men and one for men. He couldn't just call Huahu out to change shifts.

Chen Ziyan, who was idle and bored, simply took out his flashlight and looked around casually.

There are thick trees surrounding the open space where they are. Although they may not be very tall due to the species, they must be more than a hundred years old, or even a thousand years old. After all, few people have set foot in this valley since the Queen. .

rustle--

At this moment, a slight friction sound came from behind.

Chen Ziyan looked sideways and saw Shirley Yang emerging from the tent.

"Why, can't you sleep?" Chen Ziyan asked casually as he added some fuel.

"Some." Shirley Yang sat across from him and said faintly: "I just suddenly remembered the two banyan trees I just saw nearby. They should be two trees that are thousands of years old, but this can also lead to parasitism on the trees. There are so many plants that the banyan tree cannot absorb enough nutrients. It is estimated that the middle part of the tree is now empty. I think these two trees will die in three to five years at most."

After saying this, Shirley Yang suddenly raised her eyes to look at Chen Ziyan and asked: "Do you think everything is like this and can only end in destruction?"

Chen Ziyan could tell that there was something behind her words. On the surface she was talking about trees, but in fact she was talking about the curse that had haunted her family for thousands of years.

But just when he was about to say something to comfort Shirley Yang, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

When he just listened to Shirley Yang's description, Chen Ziyan felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Now thinking about what the other party described, isn't it the couple's banyan tree?

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyan did not care about comforting Shirley Yang and quickly asked: "Shirley, are the two banyan trees you mentioned a couple's tree?"

"How do you know? Did you also see it?" Shirley Yang was also surprised. She and Ding Sitian accidentally saw this strange couple's banyan tree when they inspected the camp. It was not seen at all in the camp. Not enough.

"I didn't see it." Chen Ziyan shook his head first, and then explained: "I actually heard a rumor that there is a special couple's banyan tree in this valley. This couple's banyan tree hides a secret of King Xian. ."

When encountering this kind of thing, Chen Ziyan naturally turned to "hearing" as the source of information. Anyway, he often did this before, and others were more or less used to it.
