C236 Simultaneous Attack
"Be careful, this is a mountain leech, a famous vampire in the mountain. Once bitten, it will continuously suck out your blood, I'll help you get it."
As Wang Han said this, he walked forward and took out a small knife from his pocket. He gently touched the mountain leech's body, and seeing that it hadn't bitten Fu Shidong's skin yet, he immediately used the back of the knife to viciously pat Fu Shidong's calf.
The mountain leech's body twisted a few times on the ground before it was stomped into the ground by Wang Han.
"Tighten your pants up, this thing can easily run into your clothes to suck blood, and even if it bites you won't be able to detect it. Fortunately, you sensed it earlier."
As Wang Han spoke, he took out a few thin and short hemp ropes from his body and handed them over to Jiang Chen and Wu Tie.
The two of them quickly tied it up as their hearts filled with fear.
Normally, the mosquitoes in this kind of deep forest would be poisonous, so no matter how strong one's body was, it would be useless after being bitten by this kind of thing.
"We have to be careful when we enter this place. Any kind of mosquito in this mountain might take our lives, especially when we go deeper. The poisonous miasma in the mountain is a terrifying thing."
Wang Han instructed.
"Brother, according to your estimation, can we reach the place we're going to in three days?"
The moment they entered the mountain, they met the black bear and the mountain leech.
He did not know what else he would encounter next, so his previous estimate of time would probably increase greatly.
"I don't know. If nothing else happens, we will be able to reach the map, but …" I'm just afraid of encountering more uncertain things. If you encounter something that could endanger both of your lives, would you choose to retreat or continue on your way? "
Wang Han asked a critical question that he had just thought of.
That's right, before their lives and destinations, Jiang Chen and Fu Shidong had to make a choice. This was a situation that they were likely to encounter.
Jiang Chen was stunned. He exchanged a glance with Fu Shidong and didn't say anything for a moment.
Seeing that the two of them didn't say anything, Wang Han didn't continue asking. After all, this kind of question was difficult for anyone to choose from.
He continued to lead the way with his machete, leaving marks on the trees.
The coverage of vegetation on the surface of this primitive forest was not very high. After all, there were tall trees blocking out the sunlight. It was hard to find a place where vegetation could survive even if one was too close to the ground.
Even if there were, most of them liked shady and cool mycelium plants, so most of the time he would leave his mark with a knife, making it easier to search for it on his way back.
"Brother, did you find anything?"
Seeing Wang Han suddenly stop, both Jiang Chen and Wu Tie curiously walked up.
"Someone seems to have been here before. Recently, new mushrooms haven't grown out of the place where the mushrooms were stepped on. These people shouldn't have gone far."
Wang Han squatted beside a tree and pointed at a bunch of white mushrooms.
After all, the closer they were to the ground, the colder it became. These types of plants liked this gloomy and humid environment, and after a heavy rain, a lot of it would quickly grow.
As long as the environment was suitable, this fungus could be seen almost everywhere.
"Brother, do you mean that there was someone else, or a group of people, that entered the forest before us? Moreover, it was not too long ago?"
Jiang Chen asked.
"Hm!" But perhaps he was just going into the mountains to obtain some mountain goods! Some of the poisonous bugs are actually also medicinal herbs. After getting them dried, we can exchange them for some money, so we don't need to worry too much for now. "
Wang Han shook his head, stood up and scanned the surroundings, as if he was looking for other traces left behind by these people.
After a while, he said, "There should be more than one person, but at least three. The reason why I left the mark is because the footprints we have stepped on will disappear after a period of time, but look at the surrounding ground, there are some depressions, which means there must have been more than one person who passed by here before. Only with enough people, would there be such a serious depression."0
Hearing Wang Han's words, Jiang Chen and Fu Shidong also glanced at the surrounding ground. It was indeed like Wang Han had said; there were some areas on the ground with abnormal depressions.
There were very few large animals living in these deep mountains and forests, so there were no signs of animal trampling. Only when there were enough people would there be such a serious depression.
"Forget it, let's just ignore them. Even if we meet them, they might not necessarily have malicious intentions. Let's just hide for a bit."
Wang Han didn't seem to care about it anymore. He looked around to confirm the environment and then raised his head to look at the sunlight. Finally, he found a direction and brought Jiang Chen and Fu Shidong forward.
Jiang Chen, on the other hand, had some ideas in his mind. According to Wang Han, this kind of deep mountains and forests were rarely visited.
Even if they really wanted to go into the mountains to get some medicinal herbs, they would be at the edge of the mountains.
If experienced hunters did not leave a mark when they entered the mountain, they would easily be lost, not to mention the herb gatherer.
Thus, it was still unclear what was the purpose of these people coming here!
Wang Han led the way, at the same time paying attention to the traces left behind by the people.
He often walked in the mountains, so he wouldn't ignore the problems that Jiang Chen thought of.
More importantly, he noticed that the traces left behind by these people seemed to be pointing in the direction of the map that Zhoba had left behind.
There were two very important points marked on the map. They were used as road signs in the primeval forest. Only through the location of these two points could one distinguish the direction and reach the place.
Now, soon to reach the first place, a makeshift log cabin that Zobah had built after cutting down some trees.
If there were still traces left behind by those people, then that could only mean one thing. Those people had also gone there to find the place, and had most likely seen the map that Zhoba had left behind.
If that was really the case, then their goal was very likely to be the same as Jiang Chen's group.
In fact, after Wang Han heard the story about the place they were looking for, he had a guess. Maybe they didn't just want to go there to have a look, they also had their own reasons.
In reality, Wang Han also had his own reasons for agreeing to bring Jiang Chen and the others. Therefore, everyone was well aware of each other and didn't need to say it out loud.
However, these people's sudden appearance made Jiang Chen and him have different thoughts. These people might be on the same path as them, but their goals were in conflict with each other.
There are contradictions when there are conflicts, and more serious conflicts when there are contradictions, and that is the crux of the problem.
"Follow me closely, don't make too much noise."
Wang Han's body paused as if he found something on the ground and reminded the two of them softly.
Fu Shidong and Jiang Chen looked at each other as if they knew something was wrong.
Unless they really found something incredible, Wang Han would be very nervous.
