Between mountains and seas

Chapter 4 I Don't Know the Way

The atmosphere was very awkward.

Shao Jingxing was in a difficult situation.He didn't want to make Huo Qing unhappy, but he really couldn't stare at a rabbit as a goose.After a moment of stalemate, a burst of burnt fragrance saved him.

"Ah, the mushrooms are roasted..." Shao Jingxing suddenly remembered the mushrooms on the fire, but just as he stretched out his hand, he was scalded by the hot wire. He gasped and pinched his earlobe with his fingers, saying flatteringly ,"you eat first--"

The second half of the sentence was interrupted by Huo Qing's movements. He suddenly dragged Shao Jingxing up and rolled to the side. Shao Jingxing's teeth clenched and bit the tip of his tongue, and tears burst into tears from the pain.

But this didn't prevent him from seeing a piece of white stuff being thrown over in his hazy tearful eyes, firmly stuck to the place where he and Huo Qing were sitting just now.The burning fire melted the spider silk, and the mucus dripped into the fire, which lowered the flames and gave off the stench of burnt protein.

"Why are there spiders again!" Shao Jingxing yelled frantically, dragging the two children and running away.Heroes of Unrivaled World are not reliable. Is it safe here?And there are only two of them in one go, this is going to kill you!

With a swing of Huo Qing's long knife, a strand of spider thread was deflected by him and stuck to the grass on one side.There was a thud, and the waist-deep weeds were uprooted together with their several-meter-long roots, and the earth and rocks flew around in an astonishing manner.

"There's a cave ahead!" Even at this time, his voice was calm and unwavering, "The entrance of the cave is very narrow, and spiders can't get in."

The cave is indeed as Huo Qing said, the entrance of the cave is very narrow.In fact, this is basically just a larger rock crevice on the hillside. If two of these people were not children, and the other two were also slender, it might not be easy to get in.

But that's pretty safe.The two spiders that caught up were smaller than the first one, but they couldn't get in through this crevice, they could only stretch their long legs in, but after being cut off by Huo Qing, they stopped doing this kind of thing. It's a silly thing about food delivery.

"Why, what's going on?" Shao Jingxing panted like a bellows, "Didn't it mean that it's a territory, don't, other spiders can't enter?"

Huo Qing frowned, and said concisely: "That's a female spider, and these two are male spiders."

If you don't like to watch "Animal World", you may not understand what he is talking about.

Shao Jingxing complained secretly, and asked, "Then they are——to avenge their future wives?"

Animals are territorial and only break this boundary during mating.The territory of the female spider is usually not allowed to be visited by others of the same kind, but by such a coincidence, it is in the mating period.Shao Jingxing didn't quite remember how the spiders sent out mating messages, but no matter what, the two male spiders came, and then they found the female spider's body, and then came to take revenge...

"But, how does it know it's us..." Is this a dog?Coming just by the smell?

Huo Qing glanced at him: "I have some spider silk in my backpack."

"Spider silk?" Shao Jingxing felt like he was going to faint, "What are you doing with this stuff!" No wonder the two male spiders kept chasing after it, it really smelled like it.

"You can bandage the wound." Huo Qing replied simply, and then raised his wrist to look at his watch: "The door for you to go back is about to open, you have to go back to the original place quickly."

"What?" Shao Jingxing was going crazy again, "How do I go back here?" Two spiders blocked the door.

Huo Qing looked at the two male spiders pacing back and forth outside, posing for a protracted battle: "I will lure them away, and you can go out."

"No, no, wait!" Shao Jingxing suddenly became nervous.If there are two spiders here, there may be more. If he ran out with two children and met another spider, wouldn't that be fatal?

Huo Qing pointed to his backpack: "The female spider's silk is here, and the male spider will only chase after me."

"Well, that's not safe..." What if there is a male spider with a bad sense of smell?

"Is this the only door to go back?" Shao Jingxing's infrequently functioning head suddenly lit up, "Can't we wait for these two spiders to leave before looking for another door?" He shouldn't act separately from Huo Qing!

Huo Qing shook his head slightly: "That's very troublesome. And—" He looked at the two children: "They can't wait."

"Ah?" Only then did Shao Jingxing realize that the two children were listless, especially the little boy, who was leaning against the cave wall and seemed unable to stand up. "What's wrong with you?" He thought it was because he was tired from running just now. Woolen cloth.

"Dizziness... Nausea..." The little girl was still standing, but her face was also yellow. She whispered and wanted to squat down.

Shao Jingxing panicked: "What's going on?" Was it because he ate that rabbit-goose?

"No." Huo Qing frowned, "It was corroded by the power here. The child is weak and won't last long."

He glanced out of the cave again: "It can't be dragged any longer, so be it. I'll lure the spider away, and you take the two children to the car..."

Shao Jingxing had to interrupt him again: "That, that, no way... I, I don't know the way..." He is a road idiot, and he usually relies on the driver or navigator to drive. Didn't go anywhere on foot...

Huo Qing turned his head and stared at him, just like when he heard him say "a goose is a bird".Shao Jingxing was suddenly so blessed that he understood the look in his eyes - why are you so useless!

Shrinking his neck, Shao Jingxing himself felt that he had nothing to say, and planned to be scolded.But Huo Qing didn't say anything, but reached into his shrunken backpack and took out a glass bottle.

Shao Jingxing looked over carefully, and saw a few grass blades inside, and a bug lay on the grass blades.It looked like a big cicada, but there were very beautiful patterns on its wings, which he had never seen before.The thing lay quietly at the bottom of the bottle, and only started to thump when Huo Qing put his hand in.With this thump, Shao Jingxing saw that there were more than a dozen eggs the size of sesame seeds under its stomach.

Huo Qing didn't know when there was an extra steel needle between his fingers. Shao Jingxing couldn't see his movements clearly, and only realized when he pulled out the steel needle and tapped it on his wrist: "Ah——"

There was no pain as expected, and Huo Qing didn't prick him with a needle, but a dark red dot appeared on his wrist, as if a cinnabar mole had suddenly grown out.

"This, what is this?" Shao Jingxing looked at his wrist, a little confused - what is the purpose of touching this thing that looks like Shougong sand?

"Green clam blood." Huo Qing answered briefly, and tapped his wrist again.Now Shao Jingxing could see it clearly, the steel needle was hollow, and there was a red blood-like liquid inside, which seeped into the skin when touched, leaving a trace like a cinnabar mole.

"Lover...wife?" Shao Jingxing only dared to speak after saying two words.I also knew that it couldn't be the words he thought of. If he dared to say these words, Huo Qing would definitely look at him with that reproachful look again, as if he was a primary school student who didn't do his homework.

However, the word "blood" should be correct, right?If so, this, this thing on the wrist could be a bug...

Without allowing Shao Jingxing to think about it, Huo Qing had already put the bottle back and the needle was gone: "Tap this, and you can feel where I am. I will lure the spider in that direction, get rid of it and come back Go where you came. You go around this way and we meet at the car at last."

"Wait—" Shao Jingxing was still shrouded in mist.Can this blood point be able to sense each other?What is the principle?Is it reliable or not?What if it doesn't work?

But Huo Qing didn't listen to what he had to say after finishing his confession. He tightened his backpack, leaned over and rushed out.

Yesterday when Huo Qing dealt with the female spider, he was in mid-air. Shao Jingxing was so frightened that he almost went stupid. Then he cut it in two neatly.However, now that he was getting closer, he realized more clearly—such a big spider is really hard to deal with...

Because of its smaller size, the male spider is more flexible than the female spider, not to mention he is full of hatred for killing his wife. When he sees Huo Qing, he jumps up and jumps up.

Shao Jingxing's heart immediately rose to his throat, but he saw Huo Qing leaning back calmly, slipping out of the grass for more than ten meters with one hand on the ground, a fish jumped up and ran, but the two male spiders that jumped up together almost missed bump into each other.

This enraged the two giant spiders even more. First they threatened each other a few times, then they turned around and chased after Huo Qing.

The two giant spiders rushed away, and suddenly there was silence in front of the cave, but because Huo Qing was not there, there was a bit of uneasiness in the silence.

"Uncle, I'm afraid..." the little girl hugged Shao Jingxing's leg, and said weakly, with tears in her eyes.

Uncle is also afraid... Shao Jingxing felt that his tears were about to fall.But he couldn't afford to lose face in front of the child, so he forced himself to pat her head calmly: "Don't be afraid. You see, Brother Huo has lured away all the spiders, and we can go home in a while!"

As he spoke, he wrapped the semi-conscious little boy with his clothes behind his back, picked up the yellow-faced little girl, and walked out of the cave bravely.

After walking out of the cave less than 100 meters away, Shao Jingxing was already a little dizzy.All that could be seen here were grass and trees, those towering trees all looked the same in Shao Jingxing's eyes, how could he tell whether the road under his feet had been passed or not?If it weren't for that "mistress' blood", he would definitely get lost in this dense forest.

By the way, what kind of blood is this?While dragging the burden of the two children along, Shao Jingxing struggled forward while thinking wildly in his mind.It's not that he still has to think about something at this time, but if he doesn't find something to distract his energy, he can't help but wonder if there are a bunch of spiders lurking around him, and they will jump out at any time and wrap him up. a cocoon...

In addition, he was indeed a little curious about the effect of this blood.Very subtly, he could really feel that Huo Qing was not very far away from him.Moreover, if Huo Qing hadn't given him the direction before he left, telling him to go around here, and he knew that Huo Qing was following two giant spiders, his legs might be involuntarily chasing after Huo Qing. Qing ran away.

It's really amazing, did Huo Qing give him ecstasy?

Shao Jingxing just ran while pondering.He is really working hard now.Although the two children were young, they weighed nearly fifty catties together, which was simply unbearable in his life. He was so tired that he was covered in sweat, and his arms became sore after a while.It is not easy to overcome the two legs that always want to make their own way.

But probably because of luck, the two giant spiders were lured away by Huo Qing, and the forest suddenly became safe. Shao Jingxing was out of breath, and walked all the way without warning or hiding, but he didn't bump into anything—except Apart from being completely disoriented, it is very safe.

Don't be afraid of getting lost - Shao Jingxing comforted himself - there is a remote sensor!After walking for a long time, he finally felt that Huo Qing's position was basically fixed in one place.

Although it is not very accurate, but since this is the case, it should have reached the place, right?Shao Jingxing thought that Huo Qing said that the time was tight, so he had to wipe off his sweat, dragged his two sore legs and ran towards the place where Huo Qing was.

After running for about ten minutes, just when Shao Jingxing felt that he was going to die, he suddenly found that the scenery here was a bit familiar, especially the spider webs that appeared here and there in midair—if he remembered correctly If so, the place where they came in is near here!

Just as he was overjoyed, Shao Jingxing heard a shout: "Get down!" It was Huo Qing's voice.

Shao Jingxing didn't get down on the ground by himself, he trembled in fright at Huo Qing's voice, and stepped on a stone.It happened that his legs were also weak, so he twisted his body and fell into the grass with a plop.Then there was a whoosh on the top of the head, and a spider thread swept across.If he hadn't dropped this, the spider silk would probably have wrapped around his neck just enough to strangle him so much that his eyes would turn white.

No, why are there spiders!Shao Jingxing raised his head tremblingly, only to find that Huo Qing was dodging and moving on a big tree, and there was only one of the two male spiders chasing him just now, and he was madly trying to catch up with him.

"The front is your car!" Huo Qing has spent 10 minutes with the spider on this tree, and now the branches are layered and covered with spider silk. If Shao Jingxing doesn't come again, this tree won't be able to stay .Fortunately, although this person was slow, he finally arrived: "Go to the car, I will lure the spider away!"

"Hey, then, what do you do?" Shao Jingxing had already seen the black Buick commercial vehicle between the two trees in the distance, and the body was still covered with a piece of white spider silk.

Huo Qing pulled a wild vine and kicked it from a tall tree branch, it swung over ten meters away and landed on another tree.He didn't even pause, and jumped to another tree by the elasticity of the branch, only the voice came from afar: "I will find another door..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he had disappeared into the dark forest, only the sound of the leaves shaking when the male spider was chasing him could still be heard faintly.

With great difficulty, Shao Jingxing restrained his legs that wanted to follow, and dragged the two children towards the Buick.

The car was still lying sideways on the ground, just sandwiched between two bushes, lying firmly, and there was no sign of returning to the normal world at all.Shao Jingxing put the two children in through the car door with force, but he couldn't lift his arms.He had never done such strenuous work before, he held the door of the car and took a few breaths, only feeling that the bit of rabbit meat he ate had been completely digested, and he was so hungry again.

Huo Qing said that the door will open soon, how fast?And himself, he didn't know if he could get rid of the last spider... Shao Jingxing thought wildly, and suddenly felt that the scene in front of him was shaking slightly.

What's going on?Shao Jingxing thought he was dizzy from hunger, but the scene in front of him was not only shaking, but also seemed to be fading away, revealing the darkness behind him, as if he could faintly see a road...

"Help!" A heart-piercing scream came suddenly, Shao Jingxing shivered in fright, and quickly turned his head to see that it was the third brother who ran out from the depths of the woods!

It's only been a day since I haven't seen him, and the third brother seems to be a different person, let alone a disheveled face, his clothes are torn and his face is covered with wounds, as if he has fought with a group of cats of.But the scariest thing was not him, but a huge spider chasing behind him, bigger than the one that Huo Qing cut in half!

The third brother stumbled and ran wildly, the gun in his hand had disappeared, so he could only ask Shao Jingxing desperately for help.But as soon as he was distracted, he tripped over something and fell to the ground with a plop.And the spider jumped onto his back with a whoosh, stepped on his back with a long leg, and pressed down his half-supported body just now.

"Help me, save me!" The third brother howled in despair, and stretched out his hand to Shao Jingxing, as if wanting to grab a life-saving straw.

But Shao Jingxing didn't have the courage to save him at all. Instead, he squatted down next to the car, wishing to hide himself, lest the giant spider see him.

The scene in front of me shook even more violently.The third brother saw that Shao Jingxing didn't intend to save him anymore, and a vicious look appeared in his eyes, but before he could do anything, the Buick, which was lying quietly on its side in the grass, suddenly moved.Shao Jingxing only felt a blur in front of his eyes, those towering trees and knee-high weeds suddenly disappeared, and the Buick turned half a circle by itself strangely, turned into an upside-down appearance, and threw Shao Jingxing out by the way. fell all over the asphalt road...
