Chapter 289 Night Chat
Seeing that nothing would be discovered in a short time, Chen Ziyan said: "Why don't we stop here today? Let's find a place to camp first."
Night The forest is more dangerous than during the day, and it has reached the outskirts of the green-scaled python's activity area, so it is not suitable to continue exploring.
“It’s not very good here.” Hu Bayi said with a frown after looking around the surrounding environment.
This place is full of dense trees. Although the tent can barely be packed in, the safety hazard is too great, not to mention that the water source is also an issue that cannot be ignored.
Chen Ziyan understood what Hu Bayi meant and said: "Look around, there may be a shortage of other things here, but it is not difficult to find the water source."
As Chen Ziyan said, It was not difficult to find water in a place like this, so it didn't take long for them to find a small pool nearby.
There is an open space around the pool. Although moisture is inevitable, they are well prepared and have moisture-proof mats, so this is not a hindrance.
After selecting the temporary camp, several people divided the work and started working.
Although there was an insect repellent sachet, Shirley Yang still took Ding Sitian with a flashlight and carefully checked whether there were any snakes or scorpions hidden nearby.
When Chen Ziyan, who was setting up a tent, saw this, he suddenly thought of his own domain weapon. It seemed that his treasure was more useful in this regard than the insect repellent sachet.
However, he did not stop the two women's movements. He just silently decided to take the time to arrange the domain devices later to add a layer of security to their temporary camp.
After Chen Ziyan finished setting up the tents, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan also cleaned up the temporary camp and lit a fire with fuel not far from the two tents.
After setting up the camping pot and boiling some filtered spring water, the few people who had replenished their water began to prepare today's dinner.
After the food they brought with them was heated up and a pot of soup was made with dehydrated vegetables, several people started chatting while eating.
Wang Kaixuan wolfed down the can and stuffed the can into his mouth, and said vaguely during the chewing time: "You said it would be great if we could meet a rabbit, and we can also taste the game."
Chen Ziyan said without thinking: "Don't even think about rabbits. The only poisonous things left in this place are probably those."
They saw a lot of snakes, insects, rats, and ants along the way, but they didn't see any normal animals.
"Actually, there are a lot of delicacies in these insects. As the saying goes, Yunnan's Eighteen Monsters, insects are made into dishes." Hearing this, Hu Bayi said this.
Wang Kaixuan swallowed the food in his mouth in a few seconds, and said with some yearning: "Yes, I have heard people say before, like 'three mosquitoes make a dish', 'grasshoppers can I just haven’t had the chance to see it as a side dish. We won’t be in a hurry to go back after we finish this work, but we have to taste the special food here.”
Then, as if some strange switch had been turned on, the guy rattled off a lot of relevant rumors that he had heard from hearsay before.
It can be said that this special delicacy is rare in the world. If you don’t try it, it will be like missing out on a treasure.
It stands to reason that everyone who speaks the colloquial language like Wang Kaixuan will not believe it all, but everyone present is a little bit curious.
It would be fine if I didn’t hear this, but now that I heard it, I couldn’t help but want to try it.
After coming out of the Tomb of King Xian, they all planned to experience the special delicacies that Wang Kaixuan mentioned. This way, their visit to Caiyunzhinan would not be in vain. After finishing the meal, several people stopped chatting. After arranging the night watchmen, they went back to their tents to rest.
After all, we will continue to explore tomorrow, and the best thing to do is to recover as much as possible at this time.
The person responsible for guarding the first half of the night is Chen Ziyan, while the person responsible for guarding the second half of the night is Huahu. This arrangement can be regarded as Chen Ziyan, the leader of the team, has defeated Du Gang.
If he didn't want to cover up, Chen Ziyan would have asked Huahu to come in the middle of the night. After all, Puppet Armor didn't need to rest.
Sitting alone in front of the campfire, Chen Ziyan was fine at first, but after a while he felt a little bored.
Unfortunately, to save trouble, only two tents were set up, one for men and one for men. He couldn't just call Huahu out to change shifts.
Chen Ziyan, who was idle and bored, simply took out his flashlight and looked around casually.
There are thick trees surrounding the open space where they are. Although they may not be very tall due to the species, they must be more than a hundred years old, or even a thousand years old. After all, this creek Few people set foot on Queen Gu Zixian.
Shasha——
At this moment, a slight friction sound came from behind.
Chen Ziyan looked sideways and saw Shirley Yang emerging from the tent.
"What, can't you sleep?" Chen Ziyan asked casually as he added some fuel.
"Some." Shirley Yang sat across from him and said quietly: "I just suddenly remembered the two banyan trees I just saw nearby. They should be two trees that are thousands of years old, but like this It has also led to too many parasitic plants on the tree, and the nutrients absorbed by the banyan tree have been unable to make ends meet. It is estimated that the middle part of the tree is now empty. I think these two trees will die in three to five years at most.”
After saying this, Shirley Yang suddenly raised her eyes to look at Chen Ziyan and asked: "Do you think everything is like this and can only end in destruction?"
Chen Ziyan could hear her saying this. There is something hidden in the words. On the surface, they are talking about trees, but in fact, they are talking about the curse that has haunted his family for thousands of years.
But just when he was about to say something to comfort Shirley Yang, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
When he just listened to Shirley Yang's description, Chen Ziyan felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Now thinking about what the other party described, isn't it the couple's banyan tree?
Thinking of this, Chen Ziyan did not care about comforting Shirley Yang, and quickly asked: "Shirley, are the two banyan trees you mentioned a couple's tree?"
"How do you know? Did you also see it?" Shirley Yang was also surprised. This somewhat peculiar couple's banyan tree was accidentally seen by her and Ding Sitian when they inspected the camp. It was not seen at all in the camp. Not enough.
"I didn't see it." Chen Ziyan shook his head first, and then explained: "I actually heard a rumor that there is a special couple's banyan tree in this valley. This couple's banyan tree hides A secret of King Xian.”
When encountering this kind of thing, Chen Ziyan naturally turned to "hearing" as the source of information. Anyway, he often did this before, and others were more or less used to it.
