Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 660
Three days later, a group of people came to the outskirts of Yunmengze.

It is a vast land where water and grass blend, full of gorgeous flowers.

The sky is blue, and the egrets are circling. At a glance, it is so peaceful and beautiful, beautiful and dreamy.

A red-crowned crane gracefully stood by the water combing its hair, when a piece of driftwood floated close without a sound, opened its sharp teeth and bit its neck, and dragged it into the water with a splash, causing blood bubbles to appear in the water.

This is Yunmengze full of beauty and danger.

And the ghostly flower that danced like a ghost bloomed on a dead tree deep in the swamp.

"Xiaoxuetuan, I'll lead the way to see you." Shen Yuan put Xiaoxuetuan on the ground.

It can't help you with the giant python, but leading the way is one of its strengths. Even if Aqin has been here, she is not qualified to compete with it.

Xiaoxuetuan quickly jumped forward among the water plants, leading them deep into Yunmengze without any danger.

After going like this for another day, in the evening, they came to a fairly wide flat land, where they were going to set up camp.

At this time, the sun sank into the horizon, reflecting the endless swamp in red.

A few big trees in the distance are covered with homing egrets, and their enthusiastic chirping breaks the dead silence of the swamp.

Several people tied up the horses and moved separately, searching for dead trees and branches.

"Look, Ah Xun, there are a lot of bird's nests." Shen Yuan pointed to the front.

In front are isolated islands out of the water. There are hundreds of bird's nests built on the isolated islands, which is quite spectacular at first glance.

I don't know what kind of bird it is. At this moment, the bird has returned to its nest, and each nest is a couple of birds.

"It's so loving." Shen Yu'an said with a grin, "Maybe they are hatching eggs."

Ji Xun hugged her tenderly from behind, rubbing his chin lightly on the top of her head, "What do you envy them for? We are more affectionate than them, and we will have a litter in the future.

"Pfft~~ After comparing with the rabbit and then with the bird, you just gave birth to a litter~~ Let's go and pick up firewood."

In the swamp, there are many giant trees standing one by one, and they have lived for hundreds of years. In short, there is no shortage of firewood.

Soon enough, a raging bonfire was built.

First, boil the water. After the water is boiled, eat some dry food to wrap your belly, while Xiaoxuetuan secretly climbs to the tree, eats a nest of bird eggs, and then sleeps in Shen Yu'an's arms after eating.

This little guy was exhausted after a day's journey, so he should steal some bird eggs to reward himself.

The next day we moved on again.

As it went deeper, the bones of people or animals were continuously found. An antelope fell into the swamp and died there, exuding a strong stench.

A cheetah lay by the water, nothing but skin and bones.

After walking a certain distance, I found a person lying on the ground, and it didn't take long for him to die.

Seeing Shen Yuan getting off her horse and rushing over, Aqin hurriedly called to her, "Sister Yuan, wait a moment." Aqin quickly got off her horse, and quickly walked over to Shen Yuan.

As soon as Ah Qin passed by, countless bugs ran out of the corpse in a panic, as if she was threatened by some kind.

Seeing this scene, Wei Muyan couldn't help smiling, it seems that Aqin has a Gu King on her body, if she has a chance, she must get it, it's very rare.

"Yuan, I'll come." Ji Xun took a stick and turned over the dead man lying on the ground.

This person has been dead for more than ten days, but Wei Muyan was shocked when he saw him. This person is the subordinate Wei Xuanyuan sent to the swamp to look for ghost flowers.

Fortunately, the foster father got the ghost flower from Ah Qin to cure the poison on his body, otherwise it would be a dream to find the ghost flower from this swamp.

"Sister Yu'an, this is a good thing." Aqin found that there was a burden on this person, so she opened it, and found a box that was crystal clear like ice and snow inside, and said pleasantly, "This is the ice jade box from Tianshan Mountain. Keeps ghost flowers fresh for months."

Wei Muyan rushed over after hearing this, and stared at the Tianshan ice jade box, it belonged to her.

But in this situation, can she ask for it? She can only watch Shen Yuan put it in her pocket.

"It seems that this person belongs to Wei Xuanyuan." Shen Yuan said while observing the corpse, "I don't know how he died, but the corpse is quite intact."

Aqin said, "It should be due to drinking unclean water and getting sick."

"Probably." Shen Yuan nodded, and the group continued to move forward.

The swamp is full of unforeseen dangers. You see a piece of driftwood floating in the water, but in the next moment a giant crocodile will break through the water and bite off your neck with one bite.

So don't go near the water.

In addition, the insect repellent that Zhao Da and the others sent was very effective against mosquitoes, which saved a lot of trouble.

The most important thing is to have Xiaoxuetuan lead the way, avoiding all the swamps and places where giant pythons mate. This is the most dangerous.After going forward for another seven or eight days in this way, I went deep into the heart of the swamp.

On this day, a huge lake suddenly appeared in front of it, and a huge ancient tree stood on a small island in the center of the lake.

"Zhizhi~~zhizhi~~" Xiaoxue jumped up and down, looking extremely excited.

"Smell the scent of ghost flowers?" Shen Yuan touched Xiaoxuetuan's small head, Xiaoxuetuan kept nodding with her front paws on her hands, and then poked her paws at the big tree in the center of the lake, almost uttering a human word , is really too spiritual.

"It seems that the ghost flower must have grown on that big tree." Shen Yuan looked at the huge tree in the center of the lake, "However, how can we get by without a boat?"

"The place where the ghost flower is located will be guarded by countless beasts, so don't be careless." Aqin looked worriedly at the seemingly calm waters.

At this time, Wei Muyan looked at Aqin with a smile that was not a smile: "Don't you have a ghost flower on your body? Have you never been here?"

Aqin explained, "I have never been here before. I picked this flower on the outskirts of the swamp by luck."

Luoyue Lake borders Yunmengze from the end of the forest, so it is not luck that she can pick this flower, after all, who can pass through that forest to reach that area?
If she hadn't been wary of Wei Muyan, she originally planned to lead Shen Yuan and the others into the jungle of Luoyue Lake.

"Then you are really lucky." Wei Muyan twitched the corner of his mouth in a strange way.

"Nothing, just find a piece of driftwood and I can go there." Ji Xun looked relaxed.

"No, it's too far away." Shen Yuan shook her head. She had wooden planks in her space. When she left Dazhou Capital, she thought about eating and sleeping on the road and using them to build a house, but she never had a chance to use them.

Just find a chance now and take out these planks.

He hurriedly said: "Drift wood is definitely not good, we need to find more wood to make a simple boat, let's go find it separately." She wanted to get away from the crowd so that she could take out the planks.
