Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 84 Taibai Miasma
miasma?

I glanced at Taibai Mountain surrounded by thick fog, feeling a little worried.

Miasma is different from fog. Miasma is mostly poisonous gas produced by the decay of animal and plant corpses. This poisonous gas can cause diseases.

If the miasma in the forest was not so obvious, it would be fine for us to try to get sick. After all, we are strong and strong, but the miasma is too strong, and we always feel that we will be swallowed as soon as we enter...

"How can there be such a thick miasma in Taibai Mountain?" Lao Yan frowned.

Everyone was puzzled. Although the forests in the south generally had some miasma, it was the first time to see such a large area and such a dense miasma. After all, this season is not the time when miasma occurs frequently.

"Kunbu, try it." Lao Yan raised his chin at Kunbu, the latter nodded, and then took a few steps forward, the shadow Gu fell from his palm as soon as he raised it, and got into the forest.

After a while, the Shadow Gu entered the range of the miasma, and then Kunbu's expression changed.

Lao Yan asked him what was wrong, he stared at Miasma and said slowly: "Dead."

"Dead?" Lao Yan was a little surprised: "Isn't Shadow Gu invulnerable to all poisons?"

From Lao Yan, I know that Kumbu has spent a lot of time training Shadow Gu, which is suitable for pathfinding and not easy to consume.After all, if the Shadow Gu is released and it is easy to cause accidents, then it is useless to explore the way again, so the Shadow Gu he trained is invulnerable to all poisons. The reason why the Shadow Gu stopped coming forward after smelling the smell of realgar last time was probably because there were still Tashi.

Kumbu's complexion was not very good-looking. To him, every bug was a companion. Now that one of them died like this, he was naturally uncomfortable.

"Shadow Gu is dead, it seems that this road is blocked..." Miss Qiu leaned against the tree trunk, and there was some worry between her brows.

After finally arriving at the foot of Taibai Mountain, they were blocked at the entrance, no wonder everyone looked like this.

"Can you get around here?" Yazai asked.

I took a telescope and looked in other directions, but saw that the miasma covered a large area, so I shook my head: "Let's not say that we will go around in other directions, at least it will take five or six days. The point is that the miasma has a very large area. Even if there is no miasma in other places, it is not certain that there are no other dangers.”

The boy's face fell down, and he muttered, what should I do?The Shadow Gu that is invulnerable to all poisons is dead, and we will definitely die if we go in.

"Wait!" Lao Yan asked me to support him and sit on the side: "The miasma usually gets weaker and weaker, wait until night to see."

This is the most helpless way, but there is no other better solution right now, so we can only wait.

The wound on Lao Yan's body was not shallow, and the wound on my leg was aggravated by running so far behind his back, so it's not a bad thing to wait.

Miss Qiu originally wanted to take me to practice throwing knives, but she gave up when she saw a few hideous wounds on my legs, and took the boy to go hunting directly, saying that she would mend our two injuries.

In fact, I don't care, if it wasn't because of the rest, I would have forgotten the injury on my leg, and I only felt pain when I stopped.

"Chang'an, you can't do such nonsense next time..." While Miss Qiu was dragging the boy away, and Kunbu was sitting on the other side with his eyes closed, Lao Yan sighed at me.

I shook my head: "It's not nonsense, Lao Yan. That's the only way we can survive. Is it possible that we will be disemboweled by mandrills alive? It's just a mountain, and trees can still grow after burning. People are dead. But there's nothing left."

Although I was a little hesitant at the time, I could tell the difference. It was a pity that the trees were burned, but the casual death of people like Old Yan and the others would be a loss to the country.

Lao Yan took out the cigarette case, handed me one, lit one himself, and took two puffs before he smiled wryly and said: "Old man, it's not as good as you young people have courage, you are right, people die Then there's nothing left."

After speaking, he didn't know what he thought of, his eyes were fixed in the void, and he looked a little sad.

Miss Qiu and the others came back very quickly. This time they killed two rabbits, and they had already dealt with them on the way. They made a fire and let the kelp roast them.

The smell of meat brought back Lao Yan's thoughts, he chuckled, waved his hands and said, "I don't want to, eat."

We ate this meal very happily, and Miss Qiu was even more chic with a sip of wine and meat. After eating and drinking, the sky almost darkened.What surprised us was that the miasma was getting thicker and thicker, and even the trees could not be seen clearly, leaving only faint shadows.

"Lao Yan, come and see." I stared at the miasma, and waved to Lao Yan after a while.

Lao Yan asked what was the matter, and moved it over carefully.

I stretched my arm against the miasma, and said quietly: "I'm afraid this miasma is not born."

"Human salary? But who has such a great ability." Lao Yan looked along the place where I was drawing, and after a while, his brows furrowed tightly.

I shook my head: "I don't know, but this miasma is really strange. There are many miasmas in the southern forests, but they also occur frequently in spring and autumn. It's not autumn yet, so the miasma should not be so thick. And where we are, the terrain is the most It is common that the miasma will not dissipate in the low-lying areas of the valley, but you see, the miasma seems to only revolve around Taibai Mountain, without revealing a single bit."

Lao Yan gasped, saying that it would be incredible if someone could use the natural miasma for his own use.

I lowered my voice and said, "Maybe this is also a barrier set up by the ancient Shu Kingdom?"

The reason for this inference is because I feel that ordinary people would not have such a big handwriting, and judging from the scope of this miasma, it does not seem to be completed overnight, and judging from the lessons of the ancient kingdom of the long night, these ancient Civilizations are very good at putting up natural barriers.

Lao Yan looked at me with a surprised face, and then took another look at Miasma: "If this is the case, this Miasma will be even more difficult..."

The two of us stared at the miasma, and after a while we could only sigh.

"I'll go in and have a look tomorrow!" Kumbu said suddenly after the two of us sat down around the fire again.

Lao Yan hesitated and said: "The miasma is obviously very poisonous. Although you have a special physique, it is too risky."

"Then is there any other way now?" Kumbu asked back.

Lao Yan stopped talking immediately, and it was rare for Kumbu to say a word of comfort, saying that he has a special physique, and even if there is any accident, he can return in time.

"If the miasma is still so thick tomorrow, then do as you say." Lao Yan could only nod in agreement in desperation.

After a night of silence, everyone woke up when it was dawn the next day. After all, people in the wilderness could not sleep soundly.

I looked at Taibai Mountain for the first time, and saw that the thick miasma did not dissipate at all, and it became thicker faintly.

Kumbu was ready. He was originally covered in darkness, but now he was covered with only a pair of eyes. He nodded at Old Yan and walked slowly into the miasma.

We held our breath and stared at the place where Kumbu walked in, not daring to breathe.

"How long has it been?" Lao Yan asked, and Miss Qiu quickly replied: half a minute.

Half a minute sounds very short, but considering that the Shadow Gu enters and then disappears within just a few seconds, this half minute is simply longer than a century.

But Kumbu still didn't come back, and there was no movement.

Lao Yan said with a sullen face to wait.

"One minute." Miss Qiu's tone was obviously anxious.

Lao Yan was also a little panicked, and called out to Kumbu a few times, but he didn't hear any response.

I squeezed my palms tightly and said, "Can you get in touch with the walkie-talkie?"

Lao Yan seemed to have just remembered that there is a walkie-talkie, so he quickly picked it up to connect to Kumbu, and shouted a few times, but there was still a dead silence from the other end of the walkie-talkie.

"Chang'an, I have to go in and have a look, just in case..." Lao Yan pushed the walkie-talkie away from his waist, and was about to dive into the miasma.

At this moment, a scream came from the walkie-talkie, which made our scalps tingle.
