Chapter 50 Fire Ants
Chapter 50 Fire Ants
The quagmire seemed to be a clear dividing line. After crossing the boundary, even the plants became much thicker.The green vines with thick forearms wind freely among the bushes, at first glance it looks like a big blue snake.
From time to time, some small animals ran around on the branches and treetops. From time to time, a small deer-like animal jumped out of the forest. When it found strangers, it would not run away. It stared at everyone with big innocent eyes for a while, and then looked after itself Bow your head and pick and choose to eat the tender leaves.
Even the sky here seems to be higher than other places, and it is no longer blue, and there are white clouds drifting slowly from time to time.White and soft, it makes people want to poke it, but it is out of reach.
The trees here are all very thick and thick, and even if the neck is stiff, you can't see what the top of the tree looks like.And because he was going to Mu Ya's residence, Xu Fei couldn't help wondering if there was a huge bird's nest on the top of every tree.
Although the journey of the next few days let him know that he thought too much.
Ever since Bai crossed the quagmire, he seemed to be on a stimulant all the way, jumping up and down, and didn't want to let Heli carry him on his back, so he walked very fast by himself.
It's just that the distance between the trees behind is getting denser and denser. When walking, you will encounter obstacles from time to time, either vines lying in front of you, or a big tree popping up suddenly.This made Xu Fei feel that they were getting closer to the center of the rainforest.
In the evening, everyone set up camp under a big flower tree.There is a lot of food here, and Xu Fei also found one or two kinds of edible fungi on the trees.Bai said that they hunted casually on the ground, so everyone ate fresh and delicious food for several meals.
"I'll be at my house in three days!" Bai gnawed at the fruit and said with a grin.
"I know, don't report the number here every day." Heli helplessly wiped the juice from his mouth three times a day, which made the always calm patriarch flustered.He didn't know that this kind of emotion caused the son-in-law to meet the father-in-law...
Xu Fei raised his head and glanced at the light pink flower tree exuding a faint fragrance, and felt that this huge corolla was very similar to night cherry blossoms.A gust of wind brings a shower of petals.He looked at everyone with a pink petal on his head, why did he choose to cook here?
"Wow, Xu Fei, the flower on your head is so beautiful!" Bai wanted to reach out to get a piece off, but Nagu stood in front of him, and gently removed the petals on Xu Fei's head.
"So, why did you choose this place? Aren't you afraid that the petals will float into the pot?" Xu Fei shook his head, and a few light pink petals fell off.
"Didn't you want to be here?" Bai asked suspiciously, and the other two nodded.
"How can you tell?" Xu Fei was puzzled.
"Because you've been staring at this tree!" In Bai's view, a tree that doesn't bear fruit is not a good tree, so the summer flowers that bloom vigorously on this tree are different from other green plants that don't bear fruit. Trees don't make any difference.
Well, he just saw too many green plants. At first sight, he thought the pink and tender flowers of this tree were eye-catching, and he didn't have any intention of thinking about it.
"Let's move it a bit." Xu Fei didn't want to explain anymore.
"Oh." Bai nodded, and Nagu quickly moved his small jar away.
"What do you want to eat tonight?" Xu Fei asked everyone while flipping through the ingredients in the basket.
The three days will probably pass soon, and the food here is plentiful. Now Xu Fei can cook whatever he wants, and he doesn't have to worry about whether there is enough.
"Well, I want to eat the mycelium broth I ate two days ago, and the roast venison!" Others still have to think about it reservedly, because when it's meal time, Bai has leftovers in his mind, and the name of the dish is just a jingle , without thinking too much.
"What about you?" Xu Fei asked the other two people. The meat along the way was mainly provided by the two of them, and the labor force's opinion had to be consulted.
"Whatever you want, as long as you are full." Harry replied, he is a male, he really doesn't pay much attention to what to eat and drink.
Nagu also nodded.It is already very hard for the daughter-in-law to make meals for four people. He wants to reduce his burden as much as possible so that he will not be picky eaters.
Seeing that Nagu and Heli didn't care, Xu Fei naturally followed Bai's wish.It just so happened that there were some fungus left yesterday, and the venison had two hind legs left in Nagu's basket at noon.
When everyone was full of food and drink, and satisfied their appetites, they all consciously lay down under the flower tree and watched the sunset slowly fall.There is still some residual heat on the ground, and it doesn't feel damp when lying on it.
"What is your home like?" Harry still couldn't help asking.
"My home is above the clouds," Bai said, lying on his back on the grass, pointing to a cloud passing by in the sky.
Xu Fei... dare you live in the sky!
Heli and Nagu didn't feel anything, and seemed to accept the fact that the servant of God lived in the sky quickly.Originally, the residence of their clan was unknown to outsiders, so it was not surprising that they lived on the clouds.
Xu Fei wanted to say something, but he silently closed his mouth when he saw that the other two looked the same without the slightest doubt.
Apart from encountering a group of big crocodiles, Xu Fei found that the journey was really smooth, and he didn't even see half a python's tail.
There was one more day to arrive at the destination, but Bai felt a little uneasy.There is no other reason. The fruits that were originally high in the hills have been gnawed by him along the way to only a dozen, and they are dangling in the baskets.
Hurley had no choice but to comfort him at the side, as long as he made up his mind, his father and mother would be happy to see him.
Xu Fei lamented that the fruit's anti-oxidation ability is quite powerful, and it has been more than half a month, and none of them has rotted.
Nagu was the most silent person along the way, he either hunted for Xu Fei or circled around him, never leaving him for a moment.The scenery in the wild can't attract his attention, it's almost enough to be an idiot.
They were preparing to eat at noon that day, when suddenly, Nagu frowned.
"What noise?" When he spoke, everyone fell silent.
"It's nothing." Bai shook his head and took a sip of the soup.
"No, I heard a rustling sound!" Harry listened carefully, and sure enough, he realized something was wrong.
Seeing that both of them looked very serious, Xu Fei also pricked up his ears to tell the difference.The result was naturally that no matter how much he paid attention, he couldn't hear what the two said.
"Couldn't it be the wind blowing the leaves?" In Xu Fei's hometown, there is a big poplar tree in the yard. In summer, when the east wind blows, the rustling sound of the tree is a bit nostalgic.
"It's not like." Nagu was still worried, he jumped onto a high branch and looked into the distance.
At first, he couldn't see anything, but slowly, he saw a large group of red blood rushing towards him at a frighteningly fast speed.
That thing is not bloody water, but it is more frightening than bloody water.They are the weakest animals here, but together they are an extremely powerful species --- fire ants.
Although Nagu has never seen it with his own eyes, he has heard that no fire ants will leave anywhere they go.In the short time he observed, the ant colony moved forward a long distance, and Nagu saw with his own eyes that a fawn that had no time to escape was left with only bones in the blink of an eye.
At this time, he didn't have time to explain, and shouted to go up the tree quickly, and took Xu Fei who was underneath to run up the tree.
Now even Bai and Xu Fei could hear the rustling sound of the ant colony moving. Heli understood that the situation was urgent, so naturally he didn't ask any more questions, and took Bai directly to the high place as well.
When Xu Fei climbed the tree, he saw the red ocean hundreds of meters away from him, which was surging towards this side.Intensive phobia really can't afford to hurt!
As soon as Bai climbed up the tree, he exclaimed: "My God! I met a group of fire ants!"
"Couldn't these be your friends too?" Harry asked looking at the ant colony that was coming soon.
"No, no, no! I hate them!" Bai estimated the distance, "Hurry up, they will sense the smell at such a close distance." Ants can climb trees.
After being reminded by him, everyone started to climb higher.Because Xu Fei was not proficient in business, Nagu still carried him on his back.
Hurley was very annoyed looking at Bai Siliu's back from below. Who said two days ago that he couldn't walk and ran up the tree with his back on his back?Now he is slipping like a monkey, leaving everyone behind by a large amount.
Fortunately, Heli and Nagu were not slow, and they climbed 80 meters before the ants arrived.Xu Fei looked down and saw that the original green grass had turned red.He couldn't even imagine that if he accidentally fell down now, it would immediately turn into a skeleton.
Bai also seemed to feel that he was running too fast, and slowly slipped from above to Heli's side.Xu Fei watched from the side, afraid that he would miss and fall.
"When will this thing pass?" Xu Fei asked Bai. After all, this is his land, so he should be familiar with it.
"In a while," Bai scratched his head, he hadn't come back for several months, and he had completely forgotten about this unlucky thing.
Xu Fei didn't dare to look down, fearing that he would get dizzy and fall directly, he hugged the big man tightly, his eyes wandered around to relax himself.
"I'm standing very firmly, I won't fall." Nagu and Xu Fei now have the feeling that they don't need to talk, but they can know what the other person thinks with just a slight movement. This is so understanding that Xu Fei thinks It doesn't matter if you don't admit it.
Bai looked at the affectionate one over there, and then looked at He's expressionless gaze at the sky.He leaned over meanly, "What are you looking at?"
"Yo," Harry said as if he had just noticed that Bai had come down, "didn't you run very fast before? When did you come down?"
Bai smiled guiltyly, he didn't control his feet for a while, and it became more difficult for Heli to run up the tree with him on his back.
Nagu's words saved him, "They're gone."
Sure enough, when everyone looked down again, there was another piece of green grass, as if nothing had happened, and everything before was an illusion.
"Get down." Heri wouldn't really be angry with Bai, the alarm was lifted, and Bai recklessly lay on Heri's back to let him carry it down.
"They won't come again for a period of time." Although Xu Fei stepped on the ground, he was still a little uneasy, always feeling that there were still a few ants that slipped through the net hidden in the grass.
"No." Bai waved his hand, reassuring Xu Fei.
The barbecue they put on the bottom and couldn't take it away was directly ransacked by the ants, and there was not even a little bit of meat left, so they were so clean.
After all, Bai also drank a bowl of soup to fill his stomach, and the others didn't even have time to take a sip of the soup.There is nothing left.
The road ahead has been ransacked by fire ants, so there should be no prey left, and there is a large army of fire ants passing by behind, so it is impossible for them to snatch food from their mouths.Fortunately, they still had some jerky, so they simply took a few mouthfuls of jerky and went straight on the road.
A day later, four people stood beside a pile of trees with a thickness of more than 20 to [-] meters, looking up.
Bai moved his hands and feet, pointed to the top, "My house is on it." After speaking, like a monkey, he couldn't wait to climb up the tree first.
Although everyone was apprehensive, only the appointed ones left.
After they climbed for a long time and hadn't reached the top of the tree, Xu Fei finally understood that the words "living above the clouds" really didn't use exaggerated rhetorical techniques!
