The entire forest ahead is still vast and endless, and both the height and lushness of the trees are even better than the one we walked through.
The whole forest was filled with thick fog.
The empty grassland below divides the front and the behind into two worlds.
Under the sunlight, the mist still exudes a faint colorful light.
This is miasma.
Lan Jianguo's face grew heavier as he looked ahead, frowning and saying nothing.
Liu Han took two steps forward, glanced from left to right, and murmured: "This area is too big? How come miasma can be seen here?
We all know that we will face this situation during training, but hearing about it and seeing it with our own eyes are two different things.
Before coming, no one would have thought that the fog would be so thick, nor could they imagine that this area is so large, just like the sea of clouds in the sky falling from top to bottom to the world.
The sense of oppression and fear made everyone's breathing tighten.
"Oh my god, my god!"
Peter screamed strangely, looked at the telescope for a long time, and shouted: "How is this possible? I have been to Yunnan and the rain forests in the tropics!"
"But I have never seen such a large area and such brightly colored fog. Is this the work of the devil?
"Where the hell are we? Fuck you call sunday."
Peter burst out a string of bird songs, and Ellie forgot her beloved camera and stood there in a daze.
"Professor Lan, do you think we should take a rest in the nearby woods first.
"According to the calculations at that time, the miasma should disappear in these two days. We came a little early."
Sun Cheng came over and asked.
Professor Lan nodded and said, "Okay, you and Liu Han find a suitable place, and let's take a rest first.
“It’s time to sort out the information at hand!
"Let Xiao Dao prepare some more medicines. When the miasma dissipates, we will move forward immediately!"
Sun Cheng nodded, and soon he and Liu Han chose an open space surrounded by big trees.
This place is relatively flat, and there are some wild plants with insect repellent effects growing around it. It is not far or close to the water source, so it is suitable for camping.
After setting up the tent, everyone took this opportunity to relax.
According to Professor Lan's prediction, the miasma will not dissipate until the day after tomorrow. If we want to move forward, we will have to stay here for at least three days.
Sun Cheng told everyone that they could walk around, but they must not get close to the miasma forest. They were not allowed to move alone, at least in groups of two...
After making arrangements, Sun Cheng got into the tent to rest. He worked hard along the way, and it can be said that he was the most tired.
Finally got some rest time, so I had to get some sleep as soon as possible.
Everyone else is free.
Liu Han took Du Jun and Tong Lei out to hunt.
Liu Han is a sharpshooter, and Du Jun's marksmanship is also good. Although Tong Lei is in charge of logistics support, he is actually also a security guard, and he also likes to play with guns.
They had fought many wild beasts on the road, and since they had three days to rest this time, they would not miss the opportunity.
Two foreign students, Peter and Ellie, went to the neighborhood to take pictures with their cameras. I don’t know how much film Ellie brought. Anyway, this camera keeps flashing.
The two professors took Guan Xin and Qin Shi to sort out the various sample materials on hand. Lan Yue worked for a while. Seeing me boiling herbs in an iron pot alone, I muttered a few words to Professor Lan and came over to help.
"Xiao Dao, is this medicine of yours going to be used when we cross the miasma forest in two days?"
Lan Yue asked while stirring the medicinal soup inside with a spoon.
I nodded and replied: "Yes, this miasma is more dangerous than everyone thinks. Even if it dissipates, there may still be residual poisonous gas.
"In addition, in places that have always been filled with poisonous gas, many animals and plants will mutate. It is impossible not to make adequate preparations!"
I threw a handful of dandelions into the pot, thought about it, took out two talismans, lit them, turned them into ashes and sprinkled them in.
"Yeah, who would want to encounter a miasma-filled forest in our northeast?" Lan Yue said.
“When I got the news, I was still wondering?
"Miasma should be produced in areas with high temperatures in the tropics. I heard that it seems to only be found in Lingnan and Guangxi, places with high temperatures and rain. Didn't I hear that it is also found in the Northeast?"
Lan Yue was choked by the strong smell of medicine and coughed, taking two steps back.
"Xiao Dao, I heard that the miasma is not as severe as imagined. These are some branches, trunks, and animal carcasses in the primeval forest. They rot and ferment in a humid and high temperature environment. Over time, they release toxic gases."
Lan Yue took a breath in the upwind, and continued: "If it is fine elsewhere, the key is that these gases cannot be diffused in time in the forest, and they gather into fog and turn into miasma.
"You don't have to be so nervous. We have prepared so many medicines, so there should be no problem.
Lan Yue took out what the teacher in school said and enlightened me.
"You think too simply!" When I saw that the soup in the pot was almost boiled, I put out the fire and stood up.
"According to the scientific analysis in the school, this is definitely the case. Miasma is nothing more than a poisonous mist.
“But in the eyes of us evil doctors, this miasma is exquisite.
"Simple classification, it can be divided into light miasma and colorful miasma.
I explained to Lan Yue.
“Mias, it’s the ordinary miasma you mentioned.
"Both the concentration and color are almost the same as normal fog. People who don't pay attention would think it's the ordinary morning fog in the mountains.
“After inhalation, it can cause malaria, dysentery, poisoning, and hemorrhagic fever...and then cause headache, high fever, anemia, and in severe cases, death.
As I talked, I found two medicine pots and asked Lan Yue to help pour the medicine into them respectively. Then I said: "Actually, the cause of these diseases is not necessarily how poisonous the miasma is, but that there are many small particles floating in the gas. Mosquitoes with virulent viruses also contain some potentially toxic eggs and flower powder.
"If these eggs parasitize in the eyes, they will cause blindness; if they enter the brain, people will go crazy; if they parasitize in the heart, they will cause death..."
Lan Yue kept nodding. The teachers in school also talked about these things, but they were not as detailed as what I said.
I paused and emphasized: "Another rare miasma is called colorful miasma, just like what we are seeing now.
“The fog is so dense that you can see up to three to five meters away, and the color of the gas is red, yellow, or even multicolored.
"It also has a name, called Ghost Talk."
I recounted the records about miasma in the exorcism secret book to Lan Yue.
[Miasma means there is something in the air, but its shape cannot be seen.
But it is possible to hear its sound. People walking in the miasma may hear cries, laughter, or calls.
If it is in the wood, it will be broken, and if it is in the human, it will be harmed. It is called ghost talk. 】
In layman's terms, it means: there will be an evil object hidden in the miasma. You can't see its shape, but you can probably hear its sound.
Or crying, or laughter, or a voice calling you...
This kind of sound will harm the lives of living creatures. If trees hear it, they will break. If people hear it, animals will suffer varying degrees of injury or even death.
For this strange phenomenon, the ancients called it ghost talk.
