Chapter 18 Chapter 44: The tree top whistle, the arrow is poisonous
Wangtianshu belongs to the dipterocarp family, also known as the supernatural tree, which is named after the tree can reach a height of 80 meters.It was originally common in the original valley rainforest and mountain rainforest in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, and it is absolutely difficult to find elsewhere. However, in the rainforest in the northern mountainous area of Tachilek, there appeared this small forest consisting of about ten Wangtian trees. , which is surprising.They were so tall compared to the surrounding low trees that we could see the tops of the trees as soon as we turned the bend.
The miscellaneous disappearance of Zhamao Xiaodao was more due to the fact that we were kidnapped, so when we arrived at the place, our hearts were raised, and we began to walk cautiously, constantly looking and observing the surrounding situation, lest we be in some hidden corner. There is a dark whistle.If we are discovered, from dark to bright, then we become very passive.The vegetation in the jungle is dense, and the road leading to Wangtian Forest has only a few seemingly inaccessible entrances, except for a path that looks like it has been stepped on by wild animals, and a road needs to be opened manually.
When we came out, Xiong Ming and I both held a black-backed hunting knife with a sharp tip and a heavy handle, which he used when hunting.There is no blacksmith in the village, and these daily necessities are custom-made or purchased outside the mountain, which is very troublesome.However, the people outside the mountain did not bully them. This knife is made of high-quality steel. Although it cannot be compared with military products, it is rare among civilian products.
Xue Rui is holding a bamboo pole, similar to the one held by Grandma Chi Lihua.
For the sake of safety, we decided not to take the existing path, but slowly approached the Wangtian Forest from the forest on the east side.The afternoon sun is particularly venomous, and at the bottom of the rainforest, the rotten branches and leaves exude a stale smell. Although we also applied some anti-snake and miasma-repelling potions specially made by the Zhai Li Miao family when we came, we still felt a little uncomfortable.Xiong Ming has rich experience. He leads the way cautiously in front, and Xue Rui is in the middle. Her main responsibility is not only to ensure her own safety, but also to provide us with information through her celestial eyes.
And I was in the rear, looking around vigilantly. The captured rifle on my back could enter the combat state within a second and implement fire coverage.
I am not a professional soldier, but in this dangerous environment, I must learn to defeat the enemy at the fastest speed.
The so-called voodoo, witchcraft, and Taoism are indeed very powerful at certain times, but in terms of killing efficiency, they are still far from modern weapons and cannot be compared.The power of the former lies more in mystery and in the unknown.
In just fifty meters, we traveled for ten minutes.
When Xiong Ming chopped off a flying bamboo leaf green, and put the cut in his mouth to suck the blood, I suddenly felt a chill down my spine, a icy touch like a poisonous snake crawling across my skin.Xue Rui dragged Xiong Ming and me to squat down, hid in the grass, and then whispered, someone is spying on us...
I moved my body slowly, trying to hide myself in the shadow of the green leaves, and then looked around calmly.Xue Rui knocked on the back of my hand, then pointed to the sky in front of me: "There, the upper left..." I looked up, and saw that there was a tree with the same tree at the top branch of the second sky-watching tree on the left. The skin-like dark brown figure was silent and motionless. If Xue Rui hadn't reminded me, I would never have been able to find it.
The sky-watching tree was fifty or sixty meters long, and it was indeed a natural watchtower. Maybe we had already fallen into his line of sight as soon as we got close.
"And there, there..."
Xue Rui put her body close to me, breathed hot air in my ear, and pointed out to Xiong Ming and me the secret whistle on the top of the tree one by one.Because of nervousness, her warm body trembled unnaturally, and her speech trembled a little.This young girl enjoys a lot of wealth and honor on weekdays, and she looks brave and resolute, but when she is really facing a crisis, she can't help but feel a little scared.
But she quickly adjusted her state and her breathing was calm.I looked at her delicate side face, her milk-white skin, her long eyelashes blinking slightly, and her dark eyes without light, but it seemed that a different world had been conceived.I handed the dagger I seized that day to Xue Rui, she took it, held a sword flower, smiled, and said that she is a Taoist descendant, not a burden, don't worry.
I clasped my palms together and said lightly, I invite Lord Golden Silkworm Gu to show up!
The fat bug immediately emerged from my chest with a flash, and when he saw the beautiful little girl Xuerui, he nodded friendly and greeted him. Then, driven by me, he made a "buzz", like an invisible shooting star, and headed towards Bai Chongzi. Fly to the treetops meters away.In this forest, there are three secret sentries on the top of the tree, and there are two more in the forest. Just according to the number of secret sentries, I can imagine how difficult it is to break into this dragon pool and tiger's lair, and I can't help but feel a little guilty.But Xue Rui hadn't seen the golden silkworm Gu a few times, and when she saw this fat bug, she was curious and liked it at the same time.
She asked me looking up at the sky in a low voice, is that little bug your helper who healed me back then?
I said yes, she immediately praised, so cute, beautiful and cute, and fat, compared to that green worm... She didn't finish her sentence, when she thought of the ugly one Chi Limei gave her The cyan bug felt a little uncomfortable in the stomach immediately, and wanted to vomit.
Xiong Ming squatted on the ground, his muscles tensed, his breathing was calm, like a cheetah that preyed on anyone.The handle of his hunting knife was bound with black and blue cloth strips woven by his mother-in-law. He slowly wrapped the cloth strips around his right hand with his left hand, one after another.Suddenly, I vaguely saw the sharp-edged shadow of Bo Gagong, the number one horse boy of the great drug lord Wang Lunhan, from him.Although before that, he was just a sharp knife hidden in a sheath.
The people in Zhaili Miao Village are indeed not such simple roles.
Fat Worm's efficiency is quite high, within a minute, I saw those black shadows on the tree startled and then disappeared quietly.We don't know if the secret sentry sent out any signal before this, but we didn't dare to stay here any longer, so we left quickly, sneaked slowly, and charged in from the east.Before walking tens of meters, Xue Rui suddenly stopped in a low voice, saying that there was another situation.I slowly squatted down and listened carefully with my ears up. There was the sound of dead branches and fallen leaves being trampled on. These people didn't seem to have any scruples, and the speed was fast, so there was a lot of movement.
The sound came from the path I just mentioned, and we had already sneaked to the slope opposite to the path, so we looked over.
I've taken the semi-automatic rifle off my back and put the safety on.If the enemy finds us, this gun will surely kill them.As I said, in this jungle, either you die or I live, there is no room for soft-heartedness.
However, I soon discovered that the voice was coming from behind, which happened to be the direction we came from.
In the sound of footsteps, there were several conversations between people.
I was very happy when I heard it. I am very familiar with this word, it is Japanese, and I can often hear it on certain occasions.And the voice is familiar to me, it belongs to the Japanese boy Katowaraji.I didn't expect that although I have been in crisis these few days, I can always encounter one or two lucky things to relieve my heart.For example, Yao Yuan sent me the puppet dolls of Miscellaneous Hair Path, or the current situation.Although I don't know why the Japanese boy appeared here, I am sure that he and the owner of this woodland are not in the same group.
Since we may be exposed from the beginning, we don't care whether we hide or not.With him as a living Lei Feng to help clear the mines, maybe we can hide them even more.
Golden Silkworm Gu has lived in my body for more than a year, and my overall quality has improved, and my hearing is also very sensitive.So about two minutes later, Kato Haruji and several men in black suits around him appeared in our field of vision.Because of the battle on the riverside, their group has already lost two. At this moment, besides Kato Yuanji and Liu Zhao in black robe, there are only two black suits, but their skills are still vigorous. Presumably, the Japanese who was slightly injured that day did not follow. .
Or, he may have been abandoned, like his riverside companions.
The three of us lowered our bodies as much as possible, so as not to be so conspicuous among the thorn bushes.At this time, several loud arrows flew out from the forest and shot at Kato and his group walking on the road.The men in black who followed Kato were all powerful bodyguards. When they heard the movement, they immediately fell sideways. Someone pressed Kato Yuanji tightly under him, and someone pulled Liu Zhao aside, and then gunfire rang out , and shot towards the forest.
What a quick response!The group of people hid almost instantly.
However, there was still a man in a black suit who was shot by an arrow. After he finished reloading the bullets in the pistol, he nestled stiffly behind the big tree, and stretched out his hand to check the sharp black arrow that hit his abdomen.However, within a few seconds, his body suddenly twitched violently, he jumped out of the tree uncontrollably, made a few movements stiffly like dancing, and then shouted a word in pain, a large explosion suddenly exploded in his abdomen. Here comes the minced meat.
He died, kneeling on the fallen leaves in the forest, a big gash in his abdominal cavity, bloody and bloody.
It's a pity that I didn't understand what he said at the last moment of his life.I just understand that there is a powerful poison on the tip of the arrow.
The fighting continued, and there was no sound in the woods except for a few crackling arrows at first.However, as soon as the gunshots from Kato's group stopped, many shirtless men covered in white paint jumped out from the trees, the grass, and behind the stones, and quickly approached Katohara and the others. hiding place.They have bows on their backs, spears in their hands, and they are as agile as rabbits.
I was terrified watching, when suddenly I heard Xue Rui screaming, and a gust of wind rushed from behind, and my hair immediately rose.
