As usual, no human traces were found around.

Lu Ming looked at the tree beside him, and was surprised to find that there were scratches on the trunk that were exactly the same as those left on the tree when he was camping yesterday.

The scratches looked like they were left by monkeys, but Lu Ming knew in his heart that monkeys would never catch such things as bloodthirsty poisonous silkworms, and put them quietly into everyone's camp.

Not only that, he slept very lightly last night, if someone approached him, he should have noticed something.

Leaping forward, Lu Ming climbed onto the tree beside him, looking at the mountains and mountains, and then looked at the tree not far away. There were indeed scratches.

Whether they are humans or monkeys, they jump from trees.

Looking further down, Lu Ming finally discovered how those poisonous insects entered these people's bodies. There was a small hole on the top of these tents. The bloodthirsty poisonous silkworms should have been quietly put down from the tents. of.

But it is not easy for someone to reach out and do all this quietly while he is noticing.

Two hours later, everyone who had the venom removed from their bodies gradually woke up.

Lu Ming handed a few bottles of water to the crowd, and they drank it all with dry mouths.

"what happened?"

Everyone peeped at each other, each other's faces were pale, as if they had suffered from a serious illness.

"You are poisoned." Lu Ming said solemnly: "It is a rare bloodthirsty poisonous silkworm. If it is not discovered in time, I am afraid..."

He didn't continue, but looked at Shangguanhe with a questioning look, only their Shangguan family had sent people here many times, maybe he would know something.

"Bloodthirsty poisonous silkworm, this poison that only appears in swamps, how could it appear here?" Shangguan He was full of doubts.

Lu Ming said: "Someone did it on purpose! At this point, don't you plan to say anything?"

Shangguan He stood up, a little weak, and said: "What I said, I didn't do it!"

"It can't be you, because you don't have the ability! Under my nose, poison everyone!"

Lu Ming said mercilessly, and walked slowly towards Shangguan He, and when he saw the shadow, he quickly got up and stood in front of Shangguan He.

"Then open the skylight and tell the truth!" Lu Ming said in a cold voice with no expression on his face: "I know that the Shangguan family has sent people here many times, so they should have discovered something! If you want to reach Shiqing Mountain alive, the last It’s better to tell me everything you know! Otherwise, I’m afraid you won’t have the chance to speak next time!”

He actually knew that Shangguan's family had been here? !

Shangguan He's heart sank, and he subconsciously glared at Shangguan Yanran. He was the only one who revealed this matter!
Lu Ming reminded: "Now is not the time to pursue such meaningless things. Everyone should think about how to survive to Shiqing Mountain! It seems that your Shangguan family has sent people here many times, and there is a reason for the heavy casualties!"

The matter had come to this point, and the other party already knew about it, so Shangguan He had nothing to hide.

"Yes, our Shangguan family does know about this place. We accidentally learned about it from the leaders of the Zhang family and the Hu family more than 20 years ago. We have sent several groups of people over the years, but very few of them made it back alive."

"But things are a bit strange. In the past few times, they went to Shiqing Mountain without any danger, and they didn't encounter any danger until Shijia Village!"

"Shijiacun? Is there a village in this mountain?" Lu Ming asked curiously.

Shangguan He nodded and said: "At the foot of Shiqing Mountain, there is an isolated village called Shijia Village! The people there are men farming and women weaving, and usually hunting for a living. We have checked that the people in Shijia Village have no problems. I also exchanged supplies, hired villagers as guides to go to Shiqing Mountain, and finally found a hidden underground palace! But the underground palace is intricately intertwined, and the traps are so dangerous!"

Rubbing his chin with one hand, Lu Ming thought about it. From the loss of backpacks and terrain surveying equipment, to the poisoning of everyone today, all these must have been done secretly. Since there are tribes at the foot of Shiqing Mountain, it is very likely that all these are from Shijia Village. People did it!

Whether it is true or not, in short, the purpose of that person is to prevent them from going to Shiqing Mountain. The stolen things yesterday should have been just a warning, and they continued to move forward, so that person secretly assassinated them!
"How long until Shijiacun?" Lu Ming asked.

Shangguan He turned his head to take a look, estimated slightly, and said, "If we follow the previous schedule, we can arrive this afternoon."

"Don't hurry today, just rest where you are! Take care of your body first."

After Lu Ming finished speaking, he instructed: "You guys rest first, and be careful. I'll go to the mountains to find wild game and make up for you!"

After all, Lu Ming quickly walked towards one side of the mountain.

His speed was extremely fast, like a shadow traveling through the forest. In less than half an hour, Lu Ming had already reached the peak of the mountain a few miles away.

Looking towards the mountains in the distance, there is a towering mountain there, which is Shiqing Mountain!

Standing on the top of this mountain, with Lu Ming's eyes, there is a small village at the foot of Shiqing Mountain, which is very close to Shiqing Mountain.

"No matter who it is! As long as you come here tonight, I will let you come and go!"

Lu Ming clenched his fist secretly, turned around and disappeared into the forest. Two hours later, he came back with a few pheasants.

I made a hearty roast chicken with my own hands, allowing everyone to replenish their physical strength and recharge their batteries.

Towards the afternoon, relying on everyone's physique, they have almost recovered.

A bonfire was prepared, and everyone was here to stay another night.

When night fell, everyone was very cautious that night. They still sat around the campfire and chatted until late at night when they returned to their tents.

In the tent, Lu Ming sat cross-legged, although his eyes were slightly closed, he carefully listened to any wind and grass outside the tent.

Suddenly, Lu Ming frowned!
Quiet!

At this moment, the surrounding area was extremely quiet, even the chirping of insects and birds disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, he was keenly aware of something coming from a distance, like a dexterous monkey climbing and jumping between trees, as light as a fallen leaf.

After waiting for a while, Lu Ming suddenly opened his eyes.

"Such a good skill, such a stupid way of thinking?" He looked at the top of the tent, and was secretly surprised that the man did exactly the same thing again.

A thin bamboo pole was stuck on the camp tent, presumably the bloodthirsty poisonous silkworm crawled in through that bamboo pole.

"Who!"

Lu Ming shouted violently, rushed out of the tent, and suddenly looked up at the tree trunk.

But as soon as he saw it, Lu Ming was stunned!
Immediately afterwards, Yao Qing and the others also rushed out of the tent one after another, and looked up at the big tree beside them. When they saw the thing on the tree, they were all stunned.

"This, is this a human or a ghost?" Shangguan Yanran's eyes widened, trembling because of fear.

Ever since she stepped into the mountain forest, she has been reticent. The fear in her heart made her unable to restrain herself, and she didn't know that all this was the psychological shadow left by her when she came here when she was young.

But the point is, the thing on the tree is indeed weird and terrifying, even Lu Ming was shocked when he saw it for the first time.
