my dream adventure

Chapter 167 Mandarin Duck Hot Pot (37)

In the passage, it was the first time for Sister Moon and the others to pass through this passage, and there were inevitably some unfamiliar places while walking.

The vegetation here is lush, most of the rock walls are covered by green plants, and the temperature has risen a lot, at least it can be maintained above zero.

The passage has an obvious inclination angle. It can be seen that the whole road is in an ascending band. As the water level continues to rise, the temperature also gradually rises. Although the uphill road is not easy to walk, pedestrians all the way walk very hard But at least it was happier than being frozen in that ice cellar.

"Brother, it's really warmer here. It looks like we're almost going to the exit." Xiaoman was so excited that he couldn't help jumping up and down even when he was walking, and a pair of rabbit ears on his head began to tremble. shake.

"I know you're excited, but you have to watch the road carefully when you walk. If you fall down, there will be no one to help you." Lin Yuan pulled up the foxtail grass on the side of the road and put it in his mouth, looking like he was fooling around.

"I know, I will definitely be careful, I will fall so easily, you are too underestimated—ah——" Before the words fell, Xiao Man stepped on a smooth stone, and suddenly his center of gravity was unstable, and he almost fell I fell and ate shit.

Fortunately, the young man next to her caught her in time, and Xiao Man still winked at the young man frequently with a shy look on his face, which really made him almost sick.

"My younger sister is really sick. Whoever wants it, I will pay them a high price." Lin Yuan kicked a small stone, speaking a little speechlessly.

Xiaoman was very angry, but recalled Sister Moon's persuasion before, since she has a lot of adults, she shouldn't be as knowledgeable as this bastard brother.

"Lin Yuan, wait, look what these are." The young man ignored the bickering between the two brothers and sisters, and before helping Xiao Man, he was attracted by the dense vegetation beside the road.

"You mean these small thorny bushes?" Lin Yuan kicked the green plants on the side of the road.

From just now until now, these greens have really attracted some of his attention, but he doesn't know many plants, and he doesn't even know whether this plant can be eaten or whether it is poisonous.

"That's right, if I'm not wrong, these should be nettles. People who come into contact with nettles may cause allergic reactions, but its skin can be peeled off and made into ropes and other things, such as toughness. It’s much better than using tree bark.” The boy simply mentioned it, not saying that he really wanted to use it to make a rope.

After all, they are busy on their way now, so they really don't have time to stop to do this kind of work, but collecting some nettles may be useful in the future.

"You can take some with you. We really lack rope. After leaving the cave, we don't know what kind of scenery we will see outside. It may not be a bad thing to be more prepared." Lin Yuan nodded and put the nearby nether The hemp skin was peeled off and stuffed in his own package.

By the way, they also found a small stream on the ground of the channel. The water in it looked clear. He tasted it a little bit, and there was no strange smell, so it should be an unpolluted water source.

"Take some of this water with you, in case you leave the cave later and find no water source." Lin Yuan called Xiao Man who was next to him, and asked her to take the bamboo tube on her body and fill some of the water into the empty bamboo tube.

"Brother, is this water really drinkable? I remember it was often said on TV that if you drink unboiled water in the wild, you may have diarrhea or even be infected with parasites." Xiao Man shivered in fear. The bug's entire face was wrinkled, let alone such a terrifying parasite.

"Don't be afraid, even if there are parasites, as long as the water source is boiled, most of the bacteria and eggs can be killed, so don't worry." Lin Yuan patted her on the head twice to comfort her.

Xiao Manhao pouted, as if half-believing, and Sister Moon added, "When we get out of here and make another fire to boil the water, then we'll be fine."

"Oh, let me fill it up a bit more." She lowered her head and began to scoop the water from the small puddle into the bamboo tube bit by bit with the leaves.

Taking advantage of Xiaoman's working time, everyone also stopped to take a good rest and discuss the next plan.

"March, you have seen that map, but do you know what kind of place the outside world is connected to by this passage?" Sister Moon beat her sore feet, and asked the boy directly, as if she felt that his opinion was a little reference the value of.

The young man bowed his head and thought for a moment. Naturally, he remembered the details on the map clearly, but the map didn't explain the ground conditions in detail, so he could only make inferences based on the original marks.

"After leaving this passage, there should be a flat area outside. There are no dense forests or mountains and hills. Finding survival resources will become extremely troublesome." The boy flipped through the entire map.

Sister Moon took it casually, and began to study the hunter's original mark carefully. On the plain, a vague dotted line was drawn, and at the end of the dotted line, a red five-pointed star was drawn, which seemed to be something important. Place.

"What's the meaning of this place? Why is there a five-pointed star drawn on it?" Sister Moon pointed to the marked place. There is only one five-pointed star on the entire map. If you say it is not important, you must be lying. .

"I've seen this place before, but it's not marked on the map, so I don't know." The young man shook his head, it was rare to encounter something that even he didn't know.

Sister Moon pondered for a moment, "I remember you said that you found the map in a garbage dump, I'm afraid you're lying, right?"

The young man smiled faintly. He didn't expect that this sister was really powerful, so he quickly saw that they were hiding something, "To tell you the truth, we actually found the map on a dead body. The other party should be a poacher. I don't know why. He died in the cave, and we just happened to find his body, so we didn’t speak out for fear of causing panic.”

"It's okay, you guys are thinking carefully. If Xiaoman finds out that there is a dead body, he will definitely faint from fright. It's troublesome." Sister Yue rubbed the white paper with the map drawn on it.

A corpse will not appear in the cave for no reason. Even if she is a member of the game party and can generate such a mission item in the game, there must be something reasonable about it.

"Maybe this location is the place where the system reminds us to explore." Sister Moon directly expressed her thoughts.

This speculation is not uncommon. She has played the game so many times, and the entire layout of the copy of the Way of Nature game is basically in line with coherent logic.

No part can be disassembled and viewed separately. If more clues can be obtained, it may be possible to restore the world view of the entire copy of the game.

"You're right, we'll discuss it when he comes back, and see if we want to go to the marked spot for an expedition after he leaves the cave." The boy folded the map and put it away.

Although the entire main quest is very important, if it is too risky and the survival of several people cannot be guaranteed, let alone completing the quest, even their lives are not guaranteed, so how can they continue on.

All adventures depend on whether the safety of oneself and the team members can be guaranteed.

"Brother, look at how well I've collected the water. I've filled three big pots of water." Xiaoman rushed over, dragging a few heavy bamboo tubes to show off in front of Lin Yuan. My face has been hot and cold for the past few days, and my face is flushed with smoke. Even without makeup, I still have a plateau red look.

"Okay, I know you're here to claim credit from me, let's see what your brother found." Lin Yuan knocked on her head and showed her the leaf in his hand.

Inside was a bunch of crushed termite larvae, all white and tender and crystal clear, which frightened Xiao Man half to death, and quickly retreated five steps away.

"Brother, what are those? What are you digging these things for? I get goosebumps." Xiao Man rubbed his arms, as if he was really frightened.

"These are termite larvae. They have just grown out of eggs. They are edible and taste sweet." Lin Yuan said, picking up a bunch of larvae about the size of a thumb that had been collected on the leaves. Throw it into your mouth.

He also chewed it with an expression of enjoyment, and it seemed to be really delicious.

"You, you, it's disgusting." Xiao Man covered his mouth and almost vomited, his whole face wrinkled into a ball.

"If you're really hungry and have nothing to eat, let alone small bugs, you treat bark and roots as delicacies." He scolded her seriously, then turned his head and continued digging termites there nest.

Xiao Man was so frightened that his face flushed, but he also knew that what his brother said was right, so he couldn't refute him with a single word.

There was also a leaf thrown by Lin Yuan on the ground, and there was a small lump of termite larvae on it. She stared at it for a long time, then suddenly knelt down to pick it up and held it in her hand.

"Does this thing taste really good?" The little girl was also curious for a moment, wanting to taste what it tastes like, anyway, it's just a little bit, and it probably won't kill you if you eat it.

"I've never tasted the taste of a bug in my life, why don't I just try one, just eat one." She smiled, and picked up a little with her little finger to put it on the tip of her tongue.

As a result, when she touched it, the bug moved again, which almost scared her half to death.

"How can this thing still move, how can you eat like this, it's really..."

She hesitated for about two seconds, but she put the worm directly into her mouth, chewed it with her tongue, and it exploded all of a sudden, a disgusting sweet and greasy taste spread across her taste buds.

"The taste is not bad, but I didn't expect to be able to eat it, it's so strange." Her little head hadn't recovered from the fact that she ate the small bugs, and when she saw Lin Yuan still digging termite nests, she suddenly thought about it help him.
