In the early morning of February 9th, Jiang Xuan led the hunting team into the mountains again.
There were a total of nine people entering the mountain this time. In addition to Jiang Xuan and Shi Loach, there were also seven warriors of one color.
Among them, Jingjie, the leader of the tourists, mainly requested to hunt with Jiang Xuan. Jiang Xuan felt that his strength was not bad and his current performance was good, so he agreed.
Hunting is a dangerous business and there is no harm in having more people.
The jungle in spring is full of green branches and leaves and unknown flowers and birds. It is very beautiful, and there are not many mosquitoes, which makes you feel comfortable.
Jiang Xuan and others were walking in the jungle, searching for suitable prey.
"Shashasha..."
A giant millipede crawled from a distance. It was seven or eight meters long. It was covered in hard armor and round. When crawling, hundreds of legs moved together, which is enough to make people with trypophobia go crazy after seeing it. numb.
Although the giant millipede is big, it carries a strong odor and leaves a strong smell wherever it crawls. The warriors of the Vine tribe dislike it very much.
No one would eat this unless absolutely necessary.
The nine people continued to move forward. Their luck was not good today and they only caught some small prey along the way.
"Is it because we took a bad route today?"
During the break, Jiang Xuan frowned because there were too few prey caught today.
"Chief, there's a situation ahead!"
At this moment, the soldier who was responsible for exploring the path in front hurried back with an excited expression.
Jiang Xuan immediately stood up and asked hurriedly: "What did you find? Is it a large prey?"
The soldier shook his head, gasped, and gestured with his hands: "It's not prey, it's mushrooms. So big, so many mushrooms!"
A soldier who was resting said disapprovingly: "What's so exciting about seeing mushrooms? Aren't mushrooms growing everywhere now?"
Others also nodded. This season is when mushrooms are growing like crazy. They can be seen everywhere. It’s nothing unusual.
"It's not an ordinary mushroom, it's a big one, a lot of mushrooms. Oops, I can't explain it clearly. Chief, just come with me and have a look!"
The soldier exploring the path was obviously not good at words and could only look at Jiang Xuan helplessly.
"It's almost time to rest anyway, so let's go over and take a look."
Jiang Xuan had already spoken, and the others could only stand up and follow the soldier responsible for exploring the path forward.
Jiang Xuan didn't care much at first, because although mushrooms are delicious, many types of mushrooms are poisonous, and many tribesmen are poisoned by mushrooms every year.
Over time, people only eat mushrooms that are most easily identifiable and have been eaten many times. Strange mushrooms are not dared to be eaten.
However, when they walked through a dense forest and came to the place where the soldier said, everyone was shocked and speechless by the scene in front of them!
This is a primitive forest with towering ancient trees. Those trees are very huge. There are no shrubs and vines on the ground. Instead, they are covered with various giant mushrooms.
"This...is this a mushroom?"
In the hunting team, Jiang Xuan opened his mouth wide and stared at the large field of giant mushrooms in front of him in stunned silence.
These mushrooms come in different shapes and colors. The only thing they have in common is that they are incredibly big!
An orange mushroom, five or six meters high, with a huge umbrella cover larger than an ordinary roof, and an umbrella handle as thick as a tree trunk.
A purple ganoderma-like mushroom is seven or eight meters high, with five canopies growing out of one main stem. From bottom to top, a cloud-like canopy grows diagonally from each section, which is very beautiful.
A blue mushroom looks like a giant butterfly. The umbrella cover is divided into two halves with beautiful patterns on it.
There is also a strange black mushroom with a short umbrella handle but many umbrella covers, which are layered on top of each other and look like a giant pine cone.
There are also mushrooms that look like giant flowers, mushrooms that look like dead trees, mushrooms that look like giant snakes...
The various mushrooms were so dazzling that everyone in the Vine Tribe hunting team was shocked.
"Oh my gosh, are these mushrooms too big?"
"Are these mushrooms edible?"
"If this is edible, one mushroom can feed our entire tribe for many days, right?"
…
Everyone in the Vine tribe was talking and exclaiming. Apparently no one had ever seen so many giant mushrooms.
This scene is just like the cartoons Jiang Xuan watched in his previous life, very dreamy.
"Bah!"
At this moment, a bird flew over the forest at a very fast speed.
"puff!"
When it flew above a giant red mushroom, suddenly, a large amount of powder sprayed out from the middle of the giant mushroom's canopy, covering the flying bird.
"Gah..."
After the flying bird was covered with powder, it only flew forward a short distance before falling crookedly to the ground. It was obvious that it would not survive.
The faces of the people in the Vine tribe who were having a heated discussion froze. They realized that these giant mushrooms didn't seem to be talented.
"Look over there."
Nepeta found a big-horned deer, but its state was obviously not right, its eyes were blurred, and it staggered towards the giant mushrooms.
When the big-horned deer walked into the middle of a giant mushroom, it seemed that it could no longer hold on anymore. It shook its body a few times and then fell to the ground.
After seeing two animals falling in this forest of giant mushrooms one after another, even a fool knew something was wrong with this place.
Everyone in the Vine Tribe involuntarily took a few steps back. The excitement on their faces had disappeared, replaced by instinctive vigilance.
"how so……"
The soldier exploring the path also turned slightly pale. Obviously, he did not expect that this seemingly beautiful place could be so dangerous.
Jiang Xuan held the bone spear and said: "There is something strange in this place, let's go around it first."
Jiang Xuan didn't want an accident to happen, so to be on the safe side, it was better to avoid this weird giant mushroom forest.
Everyone nodded, no one wanted to risk their lives.
They bypassed the giant mushroom forest from the side, trying to keep themselves at a safe distance.
However, just when Jiang Xuan was about to leave this place, an unexpected situation occurred.
"No, there's someone in front!"
Jingjie, who was walking in front, suddenly let out a low shout, and then quickly hid behind a thick tree trunk. Seeing this, the others also chose nearby bunkers to hide.
In the primitive jungle, many times, encountering people is more terrifying than encountering beasts.
Because different tribes fought fiercely for prey and resources.
If you encounter a ferocious beast and are attacked by a sneak attack, only a few people may die.
Meeting people from other tribes may have disastrous consequences for your own tribe.
Jiang Xuan whispered: "You guys stay there and don't move. I'll go to the tree to check the situation."
He carefully avoided the sight in front of him, and then climbed up a large tree with many branches.
When he was halfway up, he could already see the person in front of him through the gaps in the branches and leaves.
It was a team of about seventy or eighty people, probably a hunting team from a strange tribe.
There were dark green totem patterns painted on their faces. Because of the distance, Jiang Xuan couldn't see clearly what they were painted on.
However, the most eye-catching thing is that there are two huge mountain turtles in this team!
These two mountain turtles carried a lot of things on their backs and followed the team at a slow pace.
Not only that, the leaders of this team were actually wearing large tortoise shells, with breastplates and back armors, which looked quite funny.
Not only that, Jiang Xuan discovered that they were walking towards the forest with giant mushrooms!
"What kind of tribe is this? What do they want to do in that mushroom forest?"
Jiang Xuan had many questions in his heart, but no one could answer him. He could only continue to observe and see what this group of strange tribesmen wanted to do.
In order to facilitate observation, Jiang Xuan changed a branch on the tree with a better view. He wanted to see if these people would encounter danger in the giant mushroom forest like those animals.
