Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 85 The Peat Swamp
"Kumbu, what's the matter?" Lao Yan suddenly pulled out the walkie-talkie and shouted.

There was no response on the intercom because it wasn't needed.We all saw the kombu staggering out of the miasma, and the tightly covered face was exposed. It was covered with densely packed holes the size of sesame seeds, and some places were already red and swollen. We gasped when we saw it. .

Lao Yan hurried up to support him: "What happened?"

Kumbu didn't answer, but quickly took out a bottle of water from his bag and poured it on his head, then took out a black thing and swallowed it into his stomach, and then took a long breath.

"I didn't expect to turn the boat over in the gutter..." Kunbu rested for a while, the redness and swelling on his face subsided a little, and then he explained the situation in the miasma.

It turned out that not only was the miasma poisonous, but also densely packed with small bugs.These insects are not threatening at first glance, but they are huge in number, and if one is not paying attention, they will burrow into the body. If it is not for an insect master like Kumbu, they may not be able to get out once they enter.

After hearing this, we looked at each other, and the old smoke bar smoked, and said with a bitter face: "Then we are going to be stuck here?"

"No, we can go there." Kumbu rubbed his hands together: "The miasma is not as poisonous as imagined. The reason why the Shadow Gu will die is because of these bugs, and I found a way to go there!"

We looked at Kumbu in surprise. It seems that his so-called overturned ship in the gutter should be to find this way, otherwise he should be able to get out soon.

Lao Yan rubbed his hands excitedly, and told us to pack up our things, and we set off when Kumbu was almost rested.

Kumbu took out a few dark pills from his bosom, and handed them to us to swallow one by one, saying that it would help to resist the poison of miasma.

After about half an hour, Kumbu got up and asked us to cover up and down without revealing a trace of flesh, and asked everyone to wear sunglasses, and sprinkled realgar on our bodies by the way.He also asked us to keep breathing as little as possible, and then released a Gu worm about the length of our index finger from our body, and asked us to follow the worm.

"Mother Gu?" Lao Yan exclaimed in surprise.

I hurriedly asked him what mother Gu it was, and he stared at Kumbu's back and said, "It's from Shadow Gu, Kumbu rarely uses it."

I nodded knowingly. Although I don't know much about Gu worms, I also know the importance of the mother Gu during playing Gu. Once the mother Gu is lost, all the Gu worms controlled by the mother Gu will be useless.

"Is it because of Shadow Gu's death?" I muttered.

Lao Yan patted me on the shoulder and said that there is more than one Shadow Gu. It seems that even if the road is found, the Shadow Gu will not be able to complete the task of leading the way, so he can only use the mother Gu.

I groaned, and wanted to ask more clearly, when Kumbu suddenly glanced back.I was startled, thinking he was looking at me, but after a few seconds, I realized that his eyes were looking through me and looking into the distance.

I followed his gaze and looked back, but saw nothing.

"Heh." Kumbu sneered, then looked away and beckoned us to follow.

As soon as I got into the miasma, I felt my scalp tingling. From the outside, the thick miasma appeared, but more than half of them were white flying insects. They almost looked like the miasma. If I didn't walk in, I couldn't find it at all.

Fortunately, we were all wrapped tightly without leaving any gaps, so we avoided the attacks of these flying insects.

The road mentioned by Kumbu is not actually a real road, just because the miasma there is not too thick, and there is a faint line where the miasma is relatively thin.

Because they were all wearing sunglasses, they walked relatively slowly. Kumbu led the way, and after Miss Qiu died, Laoyan and I walked in the middle. The speed can almost be described as a turtle's speed.

Because of Kumbu's instructions in advance, no one of us chatted, and even our breathing slowed down a lot.

Time passed by every minute and every second, I felt that the atmosphere was too depressing, but thinking of the current situation, I could only bear it!

The road was winding, with thorns along the way, which slowed down our already slow speed even more. After walking for two or three minutes, there was no progress, and there was still a thick miasma around us.

Yazai walked in front of me, because he was used to wearing sunglasses, he walked the smoothest among the few of us, and looked back at me from time to time, even though the cover was so tight, I could still know that he was winking, helpless Let him see the road under his feet.

After doing this a few times, he found that it was boring for me to ignore him, so he shrugged and moved on.

"Be careful, the miasma is thicker in the front section, and there are more bugs." Kumbu turned his head and instructed.

In fact, he didn’t need to say that we had discovered it, but it was very strange. Generally speaking, the miasma should be shallower as it goes in, but this miasma was unusual from the beginning, so we didn’t pay much attention to it.

Kunbu walked forward with a stick, and Shi Shiran followed behind without any worries.

After walking about ten meters away, Kumbu suddenly made a detour and walked extremely slowly. At this moment, Yazai turned his head and didn’t know what he was doing. I just wanted to remind him to watch the road, but he was a little shorter. cut.

"do not move!"

I yelled, and hurried up to grab him, but his subconscious movements made half of his body sink in.

Kunbu glanced back, wondering why Yazai didn't keep up with him?
Yazai was so dull that he didn't speak, and I didn't know what to say. Who knew that he could be distracted and look back at this moment, and accidentally stepped on the ground and fell into this peat swamp?
The swamps that most people know are generally large swampy areas with low-lying water and overgrown weeds. These swamps are certainly terrifying, but because most people will be alert before entering such areas, there is still a high chance of avoiding them.

But the peat swamp in the forest is hard to guard against, because this kind of swamp is covered with fallen leaves, and it looks no different from other places.Sometimes the fallen leaves are so deep in the swamp that even if you use a stick to explore the way, you can’t find it out. If a good person walks up, they will sink immediately, and the mouth and nose will be covered by the fallen leaves, and then their breathing will be blocked. Even if they can be rescued, Most of them don't work anymore.

I didn't see Kumbu probing here with a stick. I guessed that his mother Gu had noticed something was wrong, so he walked around. Who knew that this boy didn't look at the road.

I pulled Yazai and told him over and over again not to move, but his body still sank little by little.

"Okay, it seems like something is pulling me..." Yazai's voice sounded like she was about to cry.

I shook my head: "It's not something pulling you, it's the bite force, don't move, don't use force! We will pull you out slowly, relax a little bit."

The more I struggled, the more nervous I was, the deeper I sank. I asked Yazai to take several deep breaths with me, and he finally recovered a little bit.

Lao Yan and Miss Qiu who followed behind also wanted to come up to help, but they were stopped by Kumbu, because the place where the miasma is not dense is very narrow, if they come over, they must stand in the miasma next to them, and they may not be able to come out when the time comes. what's up.

"Do you feel that the bite force is a little lighter now?" I was almost lying on the ground, and the fallen leaves were almost reaching the boy's chest, and I was also a little nervous. Once it reached the chest, his breathing would become difficult, and he would unconsciously struggle.

Fortunately, after the initial panic, Yazai quickly calmed down and followed my instructions without moving.

He nodded and said it seemed much better.

"Try to move your feet left and right." I spoke again, the sunglasses on my face had long since fallen off, and my eyes were slightly tingling.I know that the worms in the miasma are burrowing into my skin, and I can only hope that they don't burrow into my eyes.

I instructed Yazai little by little, and he did everything. After about ten minutes, he finally crawled out of the swamp.

His body was covered with fallen leaves that had rotted into mud, which was extremely rotten.

He smelled the smell on his body, and exaggeratedly said: "This has caught up with falling into the latrine."

"Stop talking, hurry up!" I waved my hand, picked up the sunglasses on the ground and put them on again, urging them to leave quickly.Because I already feel that my eyes are uncomfortable, but now I don't want to make extra troubles in this situation, I just want to get out of this ghost place as soon as possible.
