Chapter 213 Distress
Ling Zikai woke up suddenly.

In the forest not far away, He Ling's screams continued, as if she had encountered a very critical situation.

Ling Zikai didn't dare to neglect, he threw the seeds he just collected on the ground, turned around and ran towards He Ling quickly.

Because the collection has just started, everyone is still in the same area, separated by less than a hundred meters.

Ling Zikai shuttled through the power trees, not caring about the thorns that cut through the skin of his body, and rushed forward like that.It took only five or six minutes to see He Ling standing there alone, but Zhang Nan and Su Guoer were nowhere to be seen.

"What happened, what about Nannan and the others?"

Ling Zikai rushed to He Ling's side and asked loudly.

He Ling pointed to a bush in front with her face full of horror, and stammered, "Nannan and Su Guoer fell from there!"

Following He Ling's fingers, Ling Zikai realized that there were two heads standing on the flat ground covered with fallen leaves in front, weren't they Zhang Nan and Su Guoer?
It's just that at this moment, the bodies of both of them have sunk under the ground, and they have been buried to the shoulders. Fortunately, they grabbed the bushes around them with both hands, so they didn't continue to sink.

But the bushes were obviously floating on the surface, and some of them couldn't bear the weight of the two of them, and slowly began to sink.

Ling Zikai didn't have time to think about it, and was about to run to rescue him, but was held back by a hand.Lin Xing'an's voice came from behind: "Don't go there, they fell into the big smoke bubble!"

In the Xing'an Mountains, the so-called "big smoke bubble" usually refers to a confused scene in winter when the sky is dark and the sky is darkened by a snowstorm.

But people sometimes call some swamps in the forest "big smoke bubbles".

In the dense virgin forest, the dead branches and leaves on the ground are very thick. Although they will rot and decompose under the action of microorganisms, they will be integrated into the soil. However, in the long years, some places will form soft soil layers and low-lying areas with abundant water sources. It becomes a swamp.

It stands to reason that the woodland is now in the middle of the mountain, so it shouldn't be a swamp. It might just be a place where the ground has collapsed, turning it into a trap-like place.

But because this kind of place is covered by fallen leaves, it is integrated with the surrounding environment and is very hidden, so it is impossible to detect danger in advance.

Moreover, it is also difficult to judge how deep it is below and how big its area is. If you walk over rashly, if you sink yourself, it will be even more troublesome.

"Uncle Lin, their bodies are still sinking, and they will die if they are too late!"

"Hurry up and find a longer tree pole, hand it to them, let them grab it, and stabilize yourself first."

Hearing Lin Xing'an's reminder, Ling Zikai hurriedly looked around.But in a short period of time, there are no ready-made tree poles available.

In desperation, Ling Zikai quickly ran to a nearby white birch tree, channeled the energy of the ancestor gods, and punched the trunk with a diameter of more than ten centimeters.

With a loud "ping", the birch tree broke and fell slowly to the ground.

Ling Zikai didn't have time to remove the upper branches, so he grabbed the trunk directly, lifted the birch tree that had fallen on the ground, held it and ran to a distance of more than ten meters from Na Su Guoer and the others, and stretched one end of the birch tree to the ground. They came forward and shouted loudly: "Grab the branches quickly, and I will pull you up!"

The trunk of the birch tree was more than ten meters long, just enough to be handed to Zhang Nan and the others.

Zhang Nan and Su Guoer, who were in despair, quickly let go of the bushes and grabbed the branches of the birch.

Ling Zikai lifted the tree trunk and pulled it back.

But the bodies of the two were almost completely trapped inside, and they couldn't be dragged out for a while.

Lin Xing'an and He Ling thought that Ling Zikai's pull was not strong enough, so they hurried over to help.

"You back away!"

Ling Zikai stopped them from helping, and shouted at Zhang Nan and Su Guoer: "Hold the trunk tightly with your arms, and don't let go."

According to Ling Zikai's words, Zhang Nan and Su Guoer hugged the tree trunk tightly with both arms.

I saw Ling Zikai squatting slightly, grasping the trunk with both hands, pouring energy into his arms, and after gaining momentum, he shouted loudly: "Get up!"

I saw his arm suddenly lifted up, and the white birch tree more than ten meters long in his hand seemed to be a fishing rod, and he swung it up.

At this moment, Zhang Nan and Su Guoer hugged on the top of the tree were like two big fish hanging on the fishing line. Ling Zikai directly pulled them out vertically from the ground and hung them in mid-air.

In this scene, Lin Xing'an and He Ling who were standing on the side were stunned, they opened their mouths wide and couldn't close them for a long time.

Not to mention that the white birch tree that was caught in Ling Zikai's hands with a length of more than ten meters and a thick bowl weighed no less than seven or eight hundred catties. Adding the weight of Zhang Nan and Su Guoer, the combined weight was absolutely It was more than a thousand catties, and he held it in his hands like this.And it doesn't look that hard.

It was hard for them to imagine how Ling Zikai's seemingly insignificant body could contain such huge strength. If he went to participate in the Olympic weightlifting competition, wouldn't he sweep all the events.

Under the shocked gaze, Ling Zikai moved the birch tree slowly, and brought Zhang Nan and the others to a safe place. After they landed on their feet and let go of the trunk with their hands, they threw the birch tree aside.

He Ling and Lin Xing'an hurried over.

Zhang Nan and Su Guoer, who were out of danger, were still in shock. They sat down on the ground suddenly, their clothes were covered with dirt and leaves, and they looked in a state of embarrassment.

While cleaning up the dirt on Zhang Nan's body, He Ling asked with concern: "Nan Nan, are you okay, I was really scared to death just now!"

Zhang Nan's face was a little pale, but his expression was still calm. He smoothed the hair floating on his face with his hands, and said, "I'm fine!"

Ling Zikai walked up to them, and seeing Zhang Nan's calm tone, he couldn't help secretly praising her: "This girl looks gentle and quiet on the surface, and she has just gone through the test of life and death, and she can still be so calm, she has a good mental quality!"

On the other hand, seeing that Su Guoer's face was a little blue, and seemed to be more frightened than Zhang Nan, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "Why are you so careless? Su Guoer, didn't you realize the danger beforehand?" "

Although this kind of big smoke bubble is very concealed, if you observe carefully in advance, you can still see the clues from the distribution of plants growing on the ground.As Su Guoer, who grew up in the forest, he should be able to judge the danger.

Thinking of the dangerous situation just now, if he hadn't been nearby and rushed over in time when he heard the shouts, the lives of the two of them might have died here.

Ling Zikai was afraid after thinking about it for a while, so he spoke in a slightly angry tone.

Su Guoer's face lit up, seeing Ling Zikai's angry look, he didn't know how to explain it.

Zhang Nan, who came back to his senses a little, said apologetically: "This matter has nothing to do with him. I accidentally ran over there and fell down. Seeing that I was in danger, Su Guoer hurried over Save me, but I was dragged down and fell down."

Su Guoer said grumblingly: "Fortunately, our feet stepped on a thick branch buried below, and there happened to be a bush growing next to it, so we stabilized our body and did not continue to sink. I guess The smoke bubbles are at least three or four meters deep. If they really fall to the bottom, they will definitely die. How can there be smoke bubbles in this forest! I think most of them are hunting traps dug by people a long time ago. Don't landfill, stay here to harm people. It's so fucking wicked!"

Su Guoer couldn't help but swear.

"You yourself are careless, and you are blaming others!" Ling Zikai said dissatisfied.

"Okay, fortunately nothing major happened, so stop blaming each other!"

Lin Xing'an comforted him from the side: "In the future, everyone should be more careful!"

In order to prevent further accidents, Ling Zikai changed the collection plan, instead of moving separately, everyone gathered together, and the range of activities was not allowed to exceed 100 meters.

In this way, although the progress of collection is much slower, the security is increased.

Moreover, every time he arrives in a new area, Ling Zikai will quietly check it with his consciousness in advance to ensure that there will be no more accidents.

In the whole afternoon, nearly 300 different kinds of plants were collected.

This is also because at the beginning, there are many types that need to be collected, so that there will be such a big harvest.

In the next time, after removing those plants that have already been collected, the number of targets to be collected will be greatly reduced. It is not bad to find more than a dozen new plants in an area, and the progress will slow down.

According to the previous arrangement, I can only stay in the mountain for six days this time, half of the time has been spent on the way back and forth, so the time is still relatively tight.

On the second day, as they continued to shift the collection area, they gradually went deeper into the old forest.

When it was time to camp at night, they were not far from Tiger Leaping Stream.

This was also done by Ling Zikai on purpose. When he arrived, he had already planned to enter Tiger Leaping Stream again, so he brought everyone closer here.

When resting at night, Ling Zikai quietly pulled Lin Xingan aside and said, "Uncle Lin, I want to go to Tiger Leaping Stream tomorrow."

"Into the Tiger Leaping Stream?"

Lin Xing'an was obviously taken aback by Ling Zikai's proposal, and said, "Why did you suddenly think of going there.

That is one of the three desperate situations in Xing'an Mountains. Not only is the miasma permeating the year-round poisonous, there is also a kind of poisonous bee that is said to be very powerful. After being stung, it will pass out in a coma.

In the past, our Lin University once organized an expedition team and wanted to go inside to have a look. However, as soon as we reached the edge, we encountered miasma, several people were poisoned, and finally had to withdraw. "

Speaking of this, Lin Xing'an suddenly stopped talking, looked at Ling Zikai, and said, "By the way, I seem to remember that you told me about it before, you went in before, right?"

Ling Zikai nodded and said, "That's right!"

"Aren't you afraid of those miasmas?"

Ling Zikai said vaguely: "Probably my constitution is a bit special, I am immune to miasma!"

Lin Xing'an suddenly became interested and said, "Then can you bring us all in together?"
