To the southwest of the Vine Tribe is the direction of the Great Swamp and the direction of the Mountain Turtle Tribe.
The swamp is vast and boundless, and even the mountain turtle tribe only occupies a small corner. In addition, the mountain turtles like to be quiet and don't like to move, so their range of activities is not large.
But the Vine Tribe is different. As the Vine Tribe continues to grow, and with the addition of two affiliated tribes, their hunting scope is constantly expanding.
For example, in the Great Swamp, in addition to the territory near the Mountain Turtle Tribe, the Vine Tribe's hunting team has opened up several hunting routes.
Of course, there are risks. For example, this time a hunting team opened a new route. Although they harvested a lot of prey, they were all stolen, including their weapons.
Three days later, a large number of cavalry from the Vine tribe appeared in front of a forest near the great swamp.
Jiang Xuan sat on the back of the Black Wind Rhino Crescent Moon, holding a bronze war spear, and stopped in front of the forest.
Next to Jiang Xuan, on the back of another black wind rhinoceros, the tourist responsible for leading the way hid behind a vine tribe warrior. He pointed to the forest in front of him cautiously and said, "That's it... right here."
Jiang Xuan stared at the forest in front of him. This forest was very primitive and seemed not much different from other forests.
But Jiang Xuan noticed that there was a layer of mist hanging over the forest, and he also keenly smelled a rotten smell.
"Plop!"
At this moment, a soldier in front who was responsible for exploring the path suddenly fell from his mount, and everyone was shocked.
"I'm going to get him back!"
Undo did not hesitate to rush over on the black wind rhinoceros. After running to the warrior's side, he carried him on the back of the rhinoceros, and then immediately ran back to the team.
"Go back first!"
Jiang Xuan gave the order and everyone stepped back, many of them with frightened expressions on their faces.
The soldier exploring the path did not receive any obvious attack and suddenly fell down while walking. This situation was really terrible.
Even if it is a ferocious beast, the warriors of the tribe can deal with it calmly, but this unknown and mysterious danger is what they are most afraid of.
After retreating about five hundred meters, Jiang Xuan immediately asked Undo to check the condition of the pathfinder.
The soldier's breathing was steady and there was nothing unusual about him, as if he was asleep.
Jiang Xuandao: "Give him some antidote."
"yes!"
Uncaria immediately took out a small pottery bottle with a cork, opened the cork, and poured the liquid inside into the soldier's mouth.
"Cough cough cough..."
The smell of the medicine was very strong and pungent. The soldier quickly opened his eyes and coughed continuously.
Uncaria gave him some more water, and then asked, "What happened just now?"
The soldier said blankly: "I don't know either. As I was walking, I suddenly felt dizzy and then fell down."
Jiang Xuan asked: "Think carefully, before you fell into coma, were you attacked by anything or smelled any special smell?"
The soldier thought carefully, but after thinking for a long time, the expression on his face was still blank, because he didn't notice that he was being attacked or smelled any strange smell at all.
"how so."
Jiang Xuan frowned, is this place really that evil?
The others were also helpless, and when they looked at the forest, their eyes became even more fearful.
The enemy on the surface is not scary. The most terrifying thing is the danger that is completely invisible and imperceptible.
Jiang Xuan thought for a moment and said: "You stay where you are, I will go and see for myself."
"Chief, no, it's too dangerous. I'd better go there."
Undou hurriedly stopped Jiang Xuan, because Jiang Xuan was too important to the Teng tribe and there must be no accidents.
Jiang Xuan raised his arm and said, "Don't worry, with the protection of the Vine God, I will be fine."
Undo and others finally felt relieved when they saw the green vines wrapped around Jiang Xuan's arms. They almost forgot that they were protected by the vine god when they came out this time.
"Then chief, be careful."
"rest assured."
Jiang Xuan patted Undou's shoulder, then turned over and sat on Crescent Moon's back, walking towards the mysterious forest.
Everyone looked at his back, their hearts lifted, and their hands subconsciously clenched their weapons.
Soon, Jiang Xuan was getting closer and closer to the forest.
All the muscles in his body were tense, and he was always aware of possible dangers around him.
When he walked past the place where the soldier fell just now, he still didn't notice any danger, only a faint smell of decay filled the air.
He had some doubts in his heart, why did the soldier pass out when he walked here, but nothing happened when he walked here?
"Buzz buzz..."
At this moment, a small black fly flew over from not far away, trying to land on Jiang Xuan.
In the primeval forest, various mosquitoes, flies, and flying insects are very common, because this environment is so suitable for them to survive.
Jiang Xuan didn't pay attention, just waved his hand to drive it away.
But that little fly was very persistent and flew around Jiang Xuan, making Jiang Xuan tire of it.
He continued to walk forward for a short distance. Unexpectedly, there were more and more small black flies flying around Jiang Xuan and Yue Ya. Just the "buzzing" sound made people very nervous. of discomfort.
Jiang Xuan kept waving his hands to drive them away, but the effect was quite average.
At this moment, a small fly found an opportunity to get close to the back of Jiang Xuan's neck and landed.
Then, it lay on the back of Jiang Xuan's neck, and its sharp mouthparts pierced into Jiang Xuan's skin without hesitation.
"Snapped!"
Jiang Xuan felt as if he had been bitten by a mosquito, so he slapped the fly that was about to suck blood to death.
However, he soon felt that his head was starting to feel dizzy, his eyelids kept moving downwards, and he felt unbearably sleepy.
He finally realized something was wrong.
"Buzz!"
At the critical moment, the divine vine on Jiang Xuan's arm lit up, and a soft divine power was injected into Jiang Xuan's body, which cheered up his spirit and immediately got rid of his groggy state.
"There's something wrong with these flies!"
After what happened just now, Jiang Xuan finally realized that these little flies were not ordinary flies.
Ordinary flies do not sting like mosquitoes, and once bitten by these flies, the mind will become dizzy and eventually fall into a deep sleep.
Jiang Xuan immediately took out a finely woven bark woven bag, and then quickly put a few small flies that were flying in front of him into the bark woven bag.
"Crescent Moon, go back."
Jiang Xuan shouted, and Yue Ya immediately ran back with Jiang Xuan, leaving the forest and those strange flies.
Everyone in the hunting team finally felt relieved when they saw Jiang Xuan's safe return. At the same time, Undou and others also noticed the bark woven bag Jiang Xuan was holding.
Could it be that the leader caught something?
Jiang Xuan ignored those curious glances. He went straight to find the unconscious warrior just now and asked him.
"Did you feel like you were bitten by an insect before you passed out?"
The soldier thought about it for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes."
Tribal people often travel through the forest, and being bitten by mosquitoes is common, so he didn't pay attention at the time and didn't realize that his drowsiness was related to the small flies.
Jiang Xuan flattened the woven bag, then pinched a small fly and said, "Look, are you bitten by this kind of fly?"
The soldier stared at the fly for a while, and he discovered that this small fly actually had needle-like mouthparts, which were thicker than those of ordinary mosquitoes.
He thought about it carefully, then nodded and said, "Yes, before I passed out, there were a few little flies flying around me, and then I was bitten."
Jiang Xuan asked the other members of the hunting team: "When your prey and weapons were stolen that night, did you see this little fly? Or were you bitten by a fly?"
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
The soldiers in the hunting team began to think about it, and soon some of them remembered it.
"I saw!"
"I saw it too."
"Yes, there were a lot of little flies that day, and I thought it was strange."
"I got bitten and I woke up with a bump on my arm."
…
The soldiers of the hunting team spoke one after another. After Jiang Xuan's reminder, they finally realized that there were too many flies that night and something was wrong at all.
After Jiang Xuan heard this, he said with certainty: "That's right. It's these little biting flies that cause the creatures near this forest to fall into coma! It's also these little flies that cause all the people in your hunting team to fall into coma. !”
As soon as this statement came out, everyone felt a little ridiculous.
A powerful hunting team with hundreds of warriors fell into the hands of these little flies?
But that’s the truth. These inconspicuous and weird little flies have the ability to quickly put the creatures they bite into drowsiness.
