Chapter 31 The Swamp
This was a hard and cold night.
The ground was wet and could not lie down and sleep. We could only find similar stones, covered with hay, and sit and take a nap.
When a trace of red glow pops up in the east, almost everyone exhales a long breath of long-awaited energy.
They would rather climb the hills and climb the hills with fatigue than sit wither in the dark.
The sun exposed a red line in the distance, sprinkling rays of rays of rays of rays of rays of rays of rays of rays of rays of rays of rays of rays of rays of rays of rays of rays of rays of rays of rays of rays of rays of rays of rays of rays of rays of rays of rays of rays of

Although the world is still half dim and half bright, the light is enough for everyone to see the scenery in front of them.
Behind me is a waterfall several meters high, falling from the hillside of the stone. If you don’t look closely, you will think it is a stream spring. How could you think there is a big hole that is enough for people to drill out there?
Under the waterfall is a deep pool with clear water quality, but you can't see the bottom of the water, and you don't know how deep it is.
Several streams flow out along the pool, extending forward, and plunging into a dense vegetation.
A pool is divided into nine streams, and it is fan-shaped and winding, but the general direction remains unchanged at all.
The forest was filled with smoke, but compared to the fog above the head, it was a terrible witch.
There seemed to be a dense silver-white cloud floating above the jungle, wriggling and covering the jungle, making even the sun, which had already been mostly seen, could only scatter soft matt light in a daze.
The soil under everyone's feet was wet, and some water could be emitted even if they stepped on it. It was hard for them to hold on to such a swamp for the whole night last night.
Mr. Ling has a bad physique, but he is good at qi cultivation. He sits upright on the hay stone for a night. Now he looks more energetic than others and has no dark circles.
He, Li Xiaohua and Lao Ta are the only three who have no dark circles.
Mr. Ling squatted down and looked at the wet soil on the ground. With the dim sunlight through the thick fog, he could see that the color of the soil here is more rosy than outside.
Red soil is not new in the Shu Basin. It can be said that most of the entire Shu area is red soil, rich in iron.
But the soil here is not the dull and hard to distinguish red outside, but bright red. If the sunlight is brighter, I'm afraid you will think it's blood.
Mr. Ling's voice was calm, but he could not hide the slight excitement, and said:
"We're at the edge of the blood pool."
As he said, he pointed to the jungle that stretched into the stream and continued:
"The ruins must be deep in the jungle!"
The expedition team cheered twenty-four people, which was their destination, their mission.
Gu Yu, Lao Ta and Xiao Man'er were also very excited. Lao Ta said that he had obtained the money and had no escape, and the task was completed.
Xiao Man'er and Gu Yu cheered up and began to look for clues about Professor Jack Sheng's appearance here, and at the same time looked for answers to whether there is a mystery of immortality here.
There is no food on both sides, so it is better to set off quickly than to stand here. Maybe you can find some wild game to satisfy your hunger, so everyone shouted to set off.
Dachuan and others took out the compass, and Lao Ta took out the compass.
Guyu wondered where this compass was hidden.
The compass is small, and it is all around his neck. The diameter of his compass is no less than ten centimeters.
Lao Ta secretly lifted the windbreaker, revealing the wide belt tied on his belly.
It is better to say it is a leather bag than a belt.
Two layers of leather are sewn and tied around the waist, so that some important things can be hidden close to the body.
Only then did Guyu understand why all the supplies were gone, and this guy was not panicked. He had the goods hidden in his belly, but he just didn't know if he could hide them or not.
However, seeing that this guy has no dark circles and no weight loss on his face, I was afraid that he wouldn't have any food, so I looked at Xiao Man'er with her eyelids and looked at the sky, and didn't dare to look at Gu Yu's eyes. Gu Yu was sure that this guy would definitely hide his food, but he only gave it to himself and his cousin, and didn't give it to him.
Of course, now is not the time to argue about this. Anyway, as long as you make sure that Laota has food, Guyu will not be afraid of not being able to make it.
Dachuan and the others took out their compass and prepared to verify the direction.
But when they saw the compass, they all exclaimed in confusion.
"Hey? What's going on? My compass is broken. It's so sunrise in the north."
"Oh, not only yours are broken, mine is also broken. I am sunrise in the west."
"Mine is sunrise in the west, too."
The old tower shook the compass and said rudely:
"I'm also shaking in the sunrise direction. It seems that there is magnetite nearby, which causes the magnetic field here to be abnormal."
Everyone’s compass points inconsistently, which proves that there are more than one magnet ore nearby, so the compass can be sure that it is unusable.
Dachuan looked up at the misty sun and said:
"It's okay, the fog is not that heavy. We must be right with the sun as the coordinates."
The wet and cold environment made them eager to move around, so they immediately used the sun as the coordinate correction direction and began to move towards the depths of the jungle.
Dachuan, Laota and Guyu were exploring the way in front with long wooden poles.
This swamp land is densely covered with grass, and if it is not fully protected, it will hide deadly poisonous insects. Moreover, there are often deep pits that can be trapped in the swamp. If people fall into it, they will basically die without external help.
What worries Gu Yu the most is that the soil here seems to be a bit special, because his infrasonic hearing seems to be affected by certain restrictions here, and it is even difficult to hear three feet underground.
As for the sound of the jungle, you can still hear it far away, but it is useless because the forest here is dense and divided into different sizes by the river. It is extremely messy and even if you can hear it, you cannot use the coordinates of the road.
Everyone walked out less than 500 meters, and basically all their pants below their thighs were soaked.
There was no way, the nine streams that extended from the deep pool were diversion not far away, and so on, they had to trek once even if they had almost gone far.
The wet and coldness, hunger and hardship made these men keep swearing.
While correcting the direction, Dachuan and the others erected their crossbows, trying not to let go of any meat passing by.
However, what was disappointing was that after walking for a whole morning, I didn’t even see a bird.
But this afternoon without food shocked everyone and was not happy.
Dachuan walked in front, bypassing a shadow of a tree, and immediately stood still in the beginning.
He shouted:
"Mr. Ling, Mr. Ling, we are back."
When Gu Yu, Lao Ta and others heard this, they all ran over and looked at it with a dumbfounded look. Isn’t it? Waterfall, River, Deep Pool, and Nine Streams.
Seeing this scene, Gu Yu first thought of the ghost-killing wall incident that he encountered on Youhua Island before.
However, he quickly denied this possibility because it was an inland plate, not at sea, so how could a rotating plot appear?
However, this Mingqing is where they set out in the morning, the same environment.
Mr. Ling also bypassed the shadow of the tree and came to Guyu's side. He looked closely for a while and said in a deep voice:
Chapter completed!
