Chapter 288 Entering the Forest
“Stop!”
But just in the middle of Hu Bayi’s words, he was stopped by Wang Kaixuan.
After Hu Ba stopped, the fat man asked directly: "Old Hu, what are you talking about? Do the climate and plants in this place have anything to do with how we should go? "
Hu Bayi said helplessly: "Why doesn't it matter? What I mean is that the vegetation here is too dense and there are many extremely tall sky-seeing trees, so the environment here is difficult to understand with common sense. You need to think carefully about not entering the forest.”
"Then just say no and it's over. What's the use of doing so much." Wang Kaixuan felt that Hu Bayi was showing off.
You think it’s just the two of us here, I can’t explain the reason to others!
Hu Bayi complained silently in his heart.
But he did not say this, but continued: "The only feature we know now is that there is a fragment of wall in the Worm Valley, which is an ancient wall left when the tomb of King Xian was built. Ruins, as long as we can find the remaining wall, we can confirm the approximate location of the Worm Valley."
"There are two methods in front of us. One is to look for the Snake River along the mountains to the north. One of them followed the Snake River into the valley, and the other followed the snake path directly into the forest to search for the original ancient city wall ruins. This can also achieve the goal. ”
After finishing speaking, Hu Bayi looked at the others, wanting to hear their opinions.
In fact, everyone knows that these two methods are the most reliable nowadays. The other methods are unnecessary and thankless.
"Why don't we just follow that snake path? I'm afraid we'll encounter that saber-toothed viper fish again in the Snake River." After a moment of silence, Wang Kaixuan said with some worry.
When it comes to what he least wants to encounter right now, the Sabertooth Viperfish definitely ranks first. Not even the Green Scaled Python gives him as much fear as this thing.
After all, although the giant green-scaled python is difficult to deal with, there are still ways to deal with it, but the saber-toothed viperfish is simply unsolvable. Unless they can get out of the water as soon as they encounter the opponent, they will definitely Can't resist.
Hearing Wang Kaixuan's words, the other people's faces also looked a little ugly, obviously they didn't want to face a creature like the Sabertooth Viperfish again.
After thinking for a while, Shirley Yang said softly: "I don't think you need to worry too much about this. When I was a photojournalist for a geographical magazine, I had to go out to work, so I came into contact with many rare animals. There happens to be a saber-toothed viperfish in the plant information. This fish can be traced back to the tiger-toothed squid in the water during the post-glacial period. Everyone has seen how ferocious it is. However, the saber-toothed viperfish has an obvious weakness, and that is They can only survive in waters with relatively cold temperatures."
"In other words, the sword-toothed viperfish will not easily come to the outside waters," Hu Bayi said thoughtfully.
Shirley Yang nodded: "Yes, they will only go to areas with high water temperatures when they are laying eggs, but it is not the spawning period now, so we just need to be careful when going back. "
This is not just a casual comment, but if they return along the original route, they are likely to encounter this group of evil fish in the water again on the way.
After hearing Shirley Yang's explanation, several people relaxed slightly and began to think about the two choices before them again.
If it is certain that there is no hidden danger of the sword-toothed viperfish, it will undoubtedly be safer to follow the mountain to find the Snake River.
But for some reason, several people all felt at this moment that it might be better to go along the snake path not far away.
“I feel like those human figurines are not as simple as feeding the saber-toothed viper fish. The waterways here are intricate, and there might be something else in them.” Shirley Yang thought of the human figurines just now and suddenly said Such a sentence. After hearing her words, Chen Ziyan said directly: "King Xian is very knowledgeable in the art of killing. Shirley's worry is not unreasonable. I think it is better for us to go by land, even if we are really in danger." , there is also room for turnover.”
The water area here is too complex. Taking the water route is not a good choice, and it is likely to cause deviations. Chen Ziyan feels that it is better to take this snake path directly.
After all, this green-scaled giant python can be regarded as a member of the top of the food chain in this valley, and there will not be too powerful creatures in its activity area.
Furthermore, if he goes the wrong way because of this, it will go beyond his plan.
Although Chen Ziyan has his own little thoughts in what he said, it has to be said that it still makes sense.
Wang Kaixuan was the first to express his support: "I think Master Chen's words are reasonable. Even if he encounters a tiger in the forest, Fatty would dare to give it a try, but it's like a saber-toothed viper." It’s impossible to do anything like that.”
After thinking for a while, Hu Bayi nodded and said: "We can give it a try. The water conditions here are complex and extremely winding. In fact, it may not be much safer than the jungle. Besides, even if we walk along the mountain... "
Speaking of this, Hu Bayi pointed to the bottom of the cliff not far away: "80% of them have to walk through the jungle. In fact, the difference is not that big. "
Ding Sitian. Then he took out a small sachet from his pocket and said: "The biggest threat to us in this kind of forest should be the various poisonous insects that are difficult to prevent, but we have this insect repellent sachet in hand, so we don't need to worry about this. . ”
It seemed like she was just talking about the sachet, but she actually expressed her approval from the side.
But this is also very reasonable. Walking through these leafy forests and avoiding snakes, insects, rats and ants is more energy-consuming than opening a road.
After Ding Sitian finished speaking, several people looked at Shirley Yang, waiting for her decision.
In fact, when things have reached this point, personal opinions are no longer important.
But Shirley Yang has a strong sense of presence along the way, and the sources of many things are slowly revealed, so her opinions are very important.
Shirley Yang was now convinced. Seeing everyone looking at her, she smiled and said, "You have successfully convinced me, and I have to admit that this path is more suitable."
After getting her answer, several people immediately looked at each other and smiled.
Instead of setting off immediately, everyone found a flat place nearby, ate something briefly and refreshed themselves before heading deep into the jungle along the snake path.
Thanks to the existence of snake paths and insect repellent sachets, their journey was relatively easy, but the forest became more and more crowded as they walked, and no butterflies could be seen in the depths. Everything was dense as far as the eye could see. The vines almost filled the gaps between the trees.
But until night fell and darkness enveloped the forest, they could not find anything noteworthy.
Except for various plants, nothing else was found along the way.
