After the waterfall, the stream flowed for a few thousand meters down the gentle slope, until it reached a grassy area that could not be seen at first glance. This grassland was a valley between two large mountains. It was about thirty meters wide, was filled with wild grass, and grew crazily. It was as tall as half a person and was completely green.

The stream slowly flowed through the grass, clear as day. In the stream, fish swam back and forth, playing around and taking their time.

However, the bottom of the lake was covered with soft silt.

Standing on the side of the grass, Xie Weiwu, Deng Zhou, Yang Zongfu, Lin Zhongke and the others stopped, looking at the flat grass land in front of them, their faces were gloomy.

Xiao Ding did not understand, and whispered to Liu Feixu: "Why aren't you leaving?"

"Captain Xie is worried that this grass is a swamp, if we walk into it, we will sink in." Liu Feixu explained softly.

Along the way, Liu Feixu patiently taught Xiao Ding the ways to survive in the wild: to recognize wild vegetables, to recognize wild fruits, and to explain things to pay attention to when camping in the mountains … As long as it was something he knew, she would teach them to Xiao Ding.

Liu Feixu knew that Xiao Ding had never participated in survival training in the wild and there were many things that he did not understand. However, since he had joined the Thunderbolt Team, then there would be a lot of time spent on missions in the wilderness, and even in the primeval forest like this, so he had to master this skill.

Fortunately, after Xiao Ding had cultivated, he had been reborn anew and his acceptance ability had improved a lot. No matter what, as long as Liu Feixu told him, he would understand.

Just then, Xie Weiwu took out his dagger and cut a branch off, then went to the edge of the grass to try, he easily stabbed it in, all the way until the branch didn't have a top, and still hadn't touched the hard ground.

"So deep!" Lin Zhongke sighed.

"Let's walk on the side of the mountain." Xie Weiwu turned to look at them.

The few of them nodded.

He then climbed up another section of the hill and headed out along the foot of the mountain.

After walking a while, Xie Weiwu who was ahead of them suddenly stepped on air and stepped into a trap. In an instant, a pile of pitch black things appeared beside him.

Very quickly, these things covered Xie Weiwu's entire body. In the blink of an eye, it had already invaded the people behind them. However, when Xiao Ding saw the bunch of things, he guessed that they were definitely ants. He immediately activated his Innate Qi to protect his entire body, preventing them from invading his upper body.

Not long after, they felt an unbearable pain all over their body.

At the same time that Jezebel endured the itchiness and pain, he suddenly ordered loudly, "Go back, go back to the waterfall!"

The five of them rushed to the bottom of the waterfall. Liu Feixu threw her backpack and rushed into the water, immediately causing a layer of black ants to surface on the surface of the water.

Liu Feixu took off his jacket again and threw it on the shore.

As for Xie Weiwu, Lin Zhongke, Yang Zongfu and Deng Zhou, the four of them waited for the layer of black ants to pass by before entering the stream below her.

Xiao Ding took their backpacks and walked over to the stream. He activated his Innate Qi and shook the black ants out of the water. After cleaning up, he took out the tent from Liu Feixu's backpack and tied it up, then said to Liu Feixu: "Liu Feixu, come up and change your clothes."

It was winter, and the water was especially cold in the mountain forest. It was also because the black ants had bitten him many times outside, causing him to be unable to endure the pain. Otherwise, Liu Feixu would have come in the morning.

Hearing Xiao Ding's shout, he knew that he had arranged everything properly for his, so he went ashore, picked up his backpack, and went to the tent, taking off his drenched clothes, and discovered that his body was covered with dense red marks.

Liu Feixu took out some ointment from her backpack, and a unique fragrance immediately wafted out from the tent. Liu Feixu carefully squeezed out the ointment and smeared all the red marks on her body. Only then did she feel better.

Xiao Ding shouted towards the tent: "Liu Feixu, you hide inside the tent for a while, wait for them to finish applying the medicine outside, and then change your clothes before coming out. I'll go find some dry branches and light a fire to get you some ginger soup to drink. "

Although it was early winter, the water was still very cold. If he did not take any measures, he would catch a cold after soaking in the water for a long time.

After Xie Weiwu and the others finished applying the medicine and changing their clothes, they told Liu Feixu. Only then did Liu Feixu walk out of the tent, and said to the rest: "All of you go and pick up Xiao Ding's branches, I'll help you wash your clothes, and then we'll roast them dry."

The four of them promised to leave, picked up a lot of dry branches, and started a big fire. They took out a military pot, grabbed some ginger, broke it into pieces, and put some chillies in it to cook a big pot of ginger soup.

Xie Weiwu and the rest of the five all drank two big bowls, cut down a few branches and put them on a rack, and hung their wet clothes beside the fire to dry.

He could only wait for his clothes to dry before leaving. He had to camp here again for the day.

Xiao Ding said: "Anyway, everything is fine now. You guys continue roasting the clothes here, I will go and scout, and I think we won't be able to walk on the other side of the road. I'm afraid we might encounter black ants like them again, I'll go look from the other side."

Xie Weiwu and Yang Zongfu also stood up, there wasn't a need for so many people to roast clothes, but hearing that they had to scout, they felt that they should help.

Xiao Ding did not decline, and the three of them walked along the hillside on the other side of the swamp.

After walking for half an hour or so, Xiao Ding noticed that the ground in front of him was not quite right. The ground was brighter, the soil was soft, and there were some small holes in the ground. It looked like another black ant nest.

Xiao Ding stopped and used his dagger to cut a long branch off. He stood far away and aimed a light stab at that direction and saw groups of black ants coming out.

Xiao Ding sighed, "There are also black ants on this side. Although this little thing isn't fatal, it will be extremely troublesome if it is allowed to climb onto one's body. "It looks like we have to climb up a bit.

The three of them climbed up the mountain for quite a distance, but they could still see a few swarms of black ants, landing on the hillside.

Xiao Ding was a little disheartened.

Yang Zongfu said, "These black ants should also be afraid of water, why don't we walk along the edge of the swamp, near the water level, there probably aren't many black ants."

Xiao Ding and Xie Weiwu thought about it and felt that it made sense. They went down to the foot of the mountain and slowly walked along the edge of the swamp. After walking for over an hour, they still hadn't found a nest of black ants.

He decided to walk along the edge of the swamp tomorrow.

When they returned back to their campsite, Liu Feixu and the others had already prepared dinner. They even fished out a few small fishes that were two fingers wide from the stream and made them into fish soup.

Xie Weiwu laughed and said, "Eh, they even know to fish in the stream."

When they ate dinner, Liu Feixu, Deng Zhou, and Lin Zhongke were especially happy that there were no black ants at the edge of the swamp. They were scared by the bite of the black ant, and their bodies were still itchy and itchy right now.

The next day, the six of them followed the path that they had chosen and slowly walked along the edge of the swamp.

After walking for more than two hours, he realized that he could not see the end of the swamp. Lin Zhongke sighed: "Just how long is this swamp?! Don't let us walk around for a few days and nights, it's too depressing!"

Xiao Ding guessed that this was just a valley, and that the mountain would not have a swampy area that was a hundred miles long. "No," Xiao Ding comforted him, "this is a valley, and there are a lot of rocks, so how could there be such a long swamp? "It is possible if we are in the plains.

Sure enough, after walking for another half an hour, they saw a mountain in front of them blocking their path, and there was no way of finding out where the stream flowed away to.

As he approached, he realized something strange. The mountain blocking the stream was in the middle, but there was also a small valley beside it. The stream could have flowed away from there, but there were weeds growing everywhere, and not a single drop of water could be seen.

When the six of them reached the foot of the mountain, they discovered a deep cave entrance. Clear streams of water trickled into the cave entrance. The places they could see were relatively flat, but they didn't know what kind of dangers were lurking in the depths of the cave.

Furthermore, even if there was no danger within the cave, if the small stream flowed in from the cave, it would probably become an underground river. No one knew where it would come from. Furthermore, even if he could escape, he might not even be able to pass through the areas that the water flow could pass through.

Obviously, following the stream was not a wise choice.

After the six of them stood still, they looked at each other, then anxiously Lin Zhongke asked: "What do we do?"

Deng Zhou said: "We can't enter this cave. If the small stream were to enter underground, wouldn't we have to turn back and waste our energy?"

Liu Feixu bent down to take a look, and discovered that the soil on the right side of the valley was more exquisite. From the looks of it, it seemed that there was water flowing over there a long time ago.

She said, "Look here, I think the stream must have flowed from here a long time ago. Then, for some reason, the stream flowed into the cave. Let's walk along this valley. "

Hearing Liu Feixu's words, Xiao Ding bent down to examine it closely, and discovered that it was as Liu Feixu had said. He looked at the deep hole again and found that it was strange, as if it had been made by hand and had many marks on it.

At this time, the Old Ghost said softly, "Boy, this cave is a little strange. You can go explore it.

"Strange?" Will there be any gains? " Xiao Ding asked hesitantly, "What will happen?"

"I don't know either. I just have a faint feeling that I can't explain it." Old Ghost's tone was somewhat at a loss, "But, you have to listen to me, it can't be wrong."

"Are you saying that we can pass through this cave?" Xiao Ding asked.

"No, this cave wouldn't be the way out of the mountain." Old Ghost hurriedly said, "I only said that this cave is a little strange, it might be the residence of someone, since this person has spent so much effort to lure the water in, I think it is not that simple."

Hearing Old Ghost say that, Xiao Ding had the thought to explore the mountain cave, and said: "Captain Xie, you guys follow the mountain valley Liu Feixu mentioned, I'll go take a look inside."
