Chapter 230: The primeval forest is full of dangers
Qi Tongwei walked in front, holding a sharp saber in his hand, and cut all the vines blocking the road.
"Swish" the vine broke.
"Ah!" Long Xiaoyun screamed and almost fell down.
It turned out that the vine that Qi Tongwei had just cut was the one that Long Xiaoyun was holding in his hand.
"Captain, you almost killed me!" Long Xiaoyun complained.
"Be careful next time." Qi Tongwei said lightly.
Long Xiaoyun was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do to Qi Tongwei.
Qi Tongwei continued to lead the way, and Long Xiaoyun and others followed closely, fearing that they would fall behind.
Qi Tongwei's speed was not fast, but he was very steady. With every step he took, he would first check the surrounding situation and only move forward after confirming that there was no danger.
Everyone followed Qi Tongwei and watched him strolling in the forest, as if this was not a primeval forest but his back garden.
"Whoosh~~"
Suddenly, two poisonous snakes jumped out and bit Qi Tongwei.
"Captain, be careful!" Xiaozhuang shouted hurriedly.
Qi Tongwei showed a sneer on his face, reached out and grabbed the two vines, and swung them lightly.
"Pah!" Two crisp sounds.
The two poisonous snakes were whipped away and fell to the ground. They struggled for a few times and then became motionless.
"Damn, Captain, you are so awesome!" Xiaozhuang widened his eyes, his face full of shock.
"That's amazing!" Long Xiaoyun couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
"Stop arguing!" Qi Tongwei shouted coldly, "If you don't want to die, just follow me obediently."
Everyone suddenly fell silent and dared not speak anymore.
Qi Tongwei continued to lead the way. Along the way, they encountered many dangers, but each time Qi Tongwei predicted them in advance and solved them smoothly.
Qi Tongwei's judgment was very accurate, and the route he chose basically did not encounter any trouble.
"Wait a minute!" Qi Tongwei suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Leng Feng asked.
"There is miasma here, everyone must cover their mouths and noses." Qi Tongwei reminded.
Everyone immediately took out their wet coats and covered their faces, holding their breath, and continued to move forward.
After walking for a while, they arrived at a relatively safe area. Qi Tongwei signaled them to take off their clothes, and everyone hurriedly breathed in the fresh air.
"Why is the land here so strange? It looks like a swamp but not quite." Xiaozhuang asked puzzledly.
"Don't move!" Qi Tongwei shouted.
Xiaozhuang was startled and quickly retracted his foot.
"This is a dead swamp. It will devour your body silently without anyone noticing. Once you fall into it, you will never be able to struggle out," Qi Tongwei explained.
Xiaozhuang was suddenly frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.
"What should we do then?" Long Xiaoyun asked worriedly.
"Take a detour." Qi Tongwei said without hesitation.
Everyone moved slowly forward along the edge of the swamp.
"Pfft!"
Xiaozhuang accidentally stepped on a dead branch and broke it.
"hiss~~"
A creepy sound was heard, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a huge colorful python emerging from the swamp, staring at them with cold eyes.
"Fuck!" Leng Feng cursed in fright.
"Don't move!" Qi Tongwei whispered, "Back off slowly."
Everyone slowly retreated, their eyes fixed on the giant python.
The giant python spit out its scarlet tongue and slowly approached the crowd.
"Captain, what should we do?" Xiaozhuang asked in a trembling voice.
"You go first, I'll cover your retreat." Qi Tongwei said in a deep voice.
"No!" Long Xiaoyun immediately objected, "I'll stay and help you."
"You will only be a burden to me if you stay. I have my own way." Qi Tongwei said bluntly.
"You..." Long Xiaoyun's pretty face turned red with anger, but she had to admit that Qi Tongwei was telling the truth.
"Let's go, Coach Long. We can't help the captain if we stay." Xiaozhuang advised.
Long Xiaoyun stomped his feet, turned around and left with Xiaozhuang and others.
"Fizz!"
The giant python was getting closer and closer. Qi Tongwei gripped the saber tightly in his hand and stared at the giant python's eyes.
"Shh!"
The saber turned into a flash of lightning and flew towards the giant python's right eye.
"Pfft!"
The saber pierced into the giant python's eyes and blood spurted out.
"Shout!"
The giant python rolled over in pain, and its huge tail lashed towards Qi Tongwei fiercely.
Qi Tongwei leaped up to avoid the attack of the tail, then quickly rushed towards the giant python, wanting to take the opportunity to get rid of it.
But the giant python was obviously not so easy to deal with. In pain, it actually drilled directly into the swamp and disappeared.
Qi Tongwei frowned and looked at the place where the giant python disappeared, feeling a little worried.
This giant python is extremely vengeful. Since it appears here, it must have built its nest nearby.
If you don't get rid of it, you'll probably have more trouble.
But now, Qi Tongwei had no better solution and could only retreat temporarily.
Qi Tongwei returned along the same route and caught up with Long Xiaoyun and others.
"Captain, are you okay?" Xiaozhuang asked hurriedly.
"I'm fine." Qi Tongwei shook his head.
"Where is the giant python?" Long Xiaoyun asked.
"He ran away." Qi Tongwei sighed.
"Run away?" Everyone was stunned.
"Well, it should be nearby. We must leave as soon as possible." Qi Tongwei said.
"Okay." Everyone nodded.
Qi Tongwei led everyone and continued to travel through the forest.
"Crack!"
Suddenly, Long Xiaoyun's feet sank, the vine suddenly broke, and his body lost balance instantly.
"Be careful!" Qi Tongwei was quick-witted and quick-handed. He grabbed Long Xiaoyun's arm and pulled hard.
Long Xiaoyun's body suddenly flew into the air and crashed directly into Qi Tongwei's arms.
"boom!"
Qi Tongwei held Long Xiaoyun and landed on a dry ground.
"Are you okay?" Qi Tongwei let go of Long Xiaoyun and asked with concern.
"I... I'm fine." Long Xiaoyun shook his head, his face slightly red.
"Remember, in the primeval forest, any carelessness may cost you your life." Qi Tongwei said seriously.
"I understand." Long Xiaoyun nodded.
"Okay, let's take a rest first and leave after the rain stops." Qi Tongwei said.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. For them, this journey was like walking through the gates of hell.
"Captain, my arm is injured. I just found a herb on the road that should be able to stop the bleeding." Leng Feng suddenly said.
"What herbs?" Qi Tongwei asked.
Leng Feng took out the herbs and handed them to Qi Tongwei.
"This is Jinchuang Grass, and its leaves are highly poisonous." Qi Tongwei glanced at it, his face turning cold as he stared at Leng Feng and said, "If you had eaten it just now, your tongue would have been completely numb and you wouldn't even be able to speak."
"Is this... so serious?" Leng Feng was shocked and quickly threw away the herbs in his hand.
"You all remember, in the primeval forest, any carelessness may lead to death." Qi Tongwei said in a deep voice.
"Understood." Everyone responded in unison.
Qi Tongwei looked around and found a cave in front of him, so he said, "Let's go into that cave to hide from the rain."
Everyone followed Qi Tongwei into the cave. Qi Tongwei turned on his Eagle Eye skill to scan the situation in the cave. After confirming that there was no danger, he let everyone in.
The men took off their wet clothes and put them by the fire to dry.
After all, Long Xiaoyun is a girl, so she can only hide in the corner and endure the cold.
Qi Tongwei picked a few banana leaves and inserted them around Long Xiaoyun, making a simple screen for her to prevent her from exposing herself.
Long Xiaoyun looked at Qi Tongwei with gratitude.
"I found some fruits, they should be edible." Leng Feng walked over with some black fruits.
"As expected of you, captain, you actually found the fruit?" Xiaozhuang said in surprise.
"We are very lucky to have food to eat now." Leng Feng chuckled.
Leng Feng put the fruit next to the fire and it was soon roasted.
The two of them couldn't wait to pick up the fruit and take a bite.
"Damn, why is it so hard?" Xiaozhuang said with a sad face.
"That's right, this is not a fruit, it's clearly Coptis chinensis!" Leng Feng also complained.
"It's good to have something to eat. It can fill my stomach." Qi Tongwei said with disdain.
The crowd had no choice but to swallow the fruit while enduring the bitterness.
