He then took a blackened clay pot from the bonfire nearby and poured boiling hot water over the edge of the large vat.
It is said that the weather is getting colder and the insects are lazy and sleepy. You have to heat the vat with hot water to wake them up.
Chen Mu was curious and wanted to go and take a look, but he raised his foot and then put it down again.
He had seen it once before, and the sight of a tank full of bugs tumbling around was quite creepy.
"Hurry up and wash up and have breakfast."
……
In a corner of the camp, there are three half-person-high stone water tanks filled with clear mountain spring water.
Chen Mu came to the water tank carrying a wooden bucket.
A big-bellied man in his forties with a dark complexion was also standing by the barrel.
He took the gourd ladle, scooped a spoonful and drank it up in one gulp.
Finally, pour some water into your hands and apply it on your face, and you are done washing your face.
Chen Mu's mouth twitched involuntarily.
"No matter how clear it is, it's still spring water. Aren't you afraid of getting a stomachache if you drink it directly?" He complained in his heart but didn't say anything.
The people in the camp are all strong and can handle it even if the water is not clean.
Chen Mu shook his head and scooped water to fill the wooden bucket.
On the way back to the tent, he took advantage of no one noticing to move the water into the Five Ghosts Bag, which contained a filter he had specially made.
Fine sand, charcoal, disinfectant powder, and five or six layers of filtration give the water a faint medicinal smell.
He was not as careless as these natives and did not want to get sick for no reason.
After carrying the wooden bucket and finding a place to wash his face and rinse his mouth, Chen Mu went back to the tent.
As usual, he took out the barbecue burrito that he had prepared last night, heated it in the Lingjia Black Smoke microwave, and then started to devour it.
……
Just after finishing eating, Hao Lao's urging voice sounded outside the tent:
"Xiao Mu, let's go."
"Old Yang said we need to advance three miles today."
"The workload has increased again? Did the hunting group ahead take medicine? They are running so fast!" Chen Mu came out of the tent with a look of surprise on his face.
Even with Mu Linglang's assistance, the speed was still too fast.
"The number of exotic beasts is decreasing." Old Hao's face was full of smiles: "We may have to go back to the mountain soon."
Chen Mu came back to his senses from a trance and couldn't help but feel happy.
"It's time to go back. We've been in the mountains for almost half a year."
It's good to go back. I can have plenty of time to gain experience.
Fire Cloud Curse, Three Yin Demon Slaying Art, Mistakes, and other special skills of the six brothers of Wushan. There are so many things he wants to practice.
……
For three consecutive days, the pioneering team continued to accelerate.
The people in the team complained, but there was joy on their faces.
I have been cutting trees in the deep mountains and forests for half a year. I can't eat well, I can't sleep well, and I have to be careful of poisonous insects. I have had enough of this.
"After we return to the mountain, we must have a good meal to celebrate. Xiao Mu, it will all depend on you then." Old Hao said with a flattering smile.
Chen Mu laughed. This old man wanted to eat for free again.
Just about to make a joke.
hold head high!
A long roar suddenly sounded.
An invisible impact spread and flew over, and the leaves rustled and trembled.
A terrifying feeling of pressure swept across the forest, and the entire forest suddenly became silent.
"What...what's going on?" The red-nosed old man's voice trembled.
Roar……
It was as if the start button was pressed, and all kinds of heart-throbbing roars and sounds rang out one after another.
Chen Mu's face changed.
Back then in the lower courtyard of Tongtian River, when the strange beast broke through the forbidden node, that’s what happened!
The five ghosts hiding in the surroundings quickly flew into the sky.
From a distance, I could see the forest shaking violently more than ten miles away, and the big trees fell to the ground like sugar canes. At the same time, there were flashes of mystical light one after another.
"It's a strange beast!"
"Run!"
Chen Mu shouted at Old Hao, then turned around and ran towards Pengyue Mountain.
The others stared at Chen Mu's back in a daze, some of them still not reacting.
However, Mr. Hao had come to his senses, threw away the door panel guillotine, chased after Chen Mu and disappeared in front of everyone.
……
Chen Mu quickly dived into the dense forest, took out his flying kite, and unfolded it, but just as he was about to fly up into the sky he stopped.
From the perspective of the five ghosts in the sky, a black cloud was rolling towards here from the south at a very fast speed!
He couldn't see what was in the black clouds, but he no longer dared to fly into the sky.
He wasn't sure he could fly past that dark cloud.
As soon as I put away the kite, Mr. Hao came running over, panting.
"How come there are so many strange beasts?" Old Hao listened to the shouts behind him in doubt and said in panic, "What should I do now?"
"Follow me." Chen Mu didn't plan to run alone.
He took Mr. Hao and ran towards Pengyue Mountain at high speed.
A quarter of an hour later.
The two came to a camp where they had stayed before.
From the perspective of the five ghosts who stayed behind, they could hear the roars and screams becoming more and more intense.
"Why aren't you running anymore?" Old Hao ran as fast as he could, his breath short and his face pale.
Faint screams could be heard, which made Mr. Hao's face turn even paler.
Chen Mu didn't respond and quickly came to a dry old tree.
He squatted down, gently stretched his right hand downwards, and his entire right arm was immersed in the soil.
boom!
A large millstone was lifted out of the soil by him, revealing a bottomless hole.
After nodding to Mr. Hao, Chen Mu jumped in.
Mr. Hao was overjoyed and quickly jumped in.
Then the stone that had just been blown away floated up and hit the entrance of the cave with a bang, blocking the cave again.
……
"Aren't they almost cleared out? Where did all these strange beasts come from?"
In the underground secret room, Mr. Hao was still walking around in shock.
At the end of the secret room, Chen Mu, who was sitting on the couch, ended his synesthesia and opened his eyes.
When he was escaping, he told the six brothers and sisters of Wushan and Shang Huan through the same heart spell.
At this moment, several people were still running towards Pengyue Mountain. Due to their timely reaction, they ran earlier than others and were not in danger for the time being.
He took off the yellow gourd from his waist, took out a wooden cup from the wooden cabinet next to the couch, filled it with Ningshen herbal tea and handed it to Mr. Hao.
"If you keep wandering around and attract a strange beast, I will throw you into its mouth before it eats you."
Mr. Hao froze.
Then he sat down on the right side of the couch, holding the wooden cup, and even breathing became cautious.
Chen Mu took a sip of herbal tea and felt puzzled.
With Mu Linglang assisting in the investigation, how could a large-scale attack by strange beasts occur?
It’s normal that one or two people didn’t notice it, but how could so many hunting groups not notice it?
Are you blind?
Noticing that Mr. Hao was panicking, Chen Mu slowed down his tone and comforted him, "It's seven or eight meters deep underground here. It's safe for now. Just wait."
Mr. Hao took a sip of herbal tea and slowly came back to his senses: "Aren't you afraid?"
"I'm scared." Chen Mu said calmly.
Mr. Hao looked unconvinced. You look so relaxed and calm. You don't look scared at all.
Chen Mu didn't explain either.
If you weren't afraid, why would you come to this cellar?
He cleared the land all the way from Pengyue Mountain and dug more than one cellar along the way.
He just wasn't panicking.
