Dark clouds covered the moon, and the valley of Shennongjia was suddenly plunged into darkness. Rotting tree roots and moist soil emitted dense fog.
This valley had high mountains and deep valleys, and there was a huge difference in height. The regional microclimate was especially obvious, showing a completely different climate from the high mountains to the valley.
In the valley, Dang Weiguo and his team carried the injured who had lost their mobility due to the jump.
Under the illumination of the lights, they could already see the fog behind them.
"Professor Shen! What kind of plague is this? "Dang Weiguo growled.
Professor Shen observed as he ran.
"The miasma is dark and moving against the wind. It's a type of poisonous miasma!"
Dang Weiguo saw that the miasma was spreading extremely quickly, and hurriedly asked, "Is there any way to control it?"
"The miasma will seep in through the pores of the human body. Get everyone to seal their protective suits and put on their helmets!"
Every member of the combat team was wearing protective suits that were sealed from head to toe to prevent the miasma from entering.
However, it was very inconvenient during combat, so they usually opened the seals on the joints of their protective suits and carried their helmets on their backs. This way, their limbs would not be hindered when moving.
The nine of them were well-trained. They first helped the injured to seal their protective suits, and then quickly equipped themselves.
Finally, they sealed their protective suits before the miasma drifted over. There was a public channel communicator in their helmets, and they could communicate clearly within a diameter of 800 meters. Of course, Shennongjia was an exception. There was abnormal electromagnetic interference here, so their effective communication range was less than 80 meters.
The poisonous miasma was like a haze, covering the sky and the moon. The originally dim primitive forest became even darker. Even if there was a light, the surroundings were still foggy and white.
"Gather! Stay alert! "
In such an extreme environment, it was easy to get lost in the primitive forest if one could not tell the direction.
According to their previous understanding, the miasma would not last long and would dissipate in about an hour.
They decided to rest in place and wait for the miasma to dissipate before moving again.
"Dang Weiguo, we can't stay in place. Under the miasma, there must be poisonous insects and ferocious beasts!"
"Once the poisonous beasts in the miasma discover us, we will most likely have casualties again!"
Professor Shen knew Shennongjia very well. When the poisonous miasma appeared, the danger was not just the miasma itself.
The mysterious area at the core of Shennongjia had a strange climate. All kinds of unique miasma and plagues would often appear.
The miasma could be used as a warning in advance. It had a form and texture, and there were also signs of illness. There might be herpes on the surface of the skin, stiffness of the body, or difficulty in breathing.
As for the plague, it was more troublesome. It was also a type of miasma, but although it seemed invisible, it could subtly cause illness. When the illness seeped into the bone marrow, it was usually difficult to treat.
The visible poisonous gas was like rosy clouds and thick fog. The formless plague was either emitting a fishy smell or assailing people with a strange fragrance, but it was actually miasma.
There were many types of miasma in Shennongjia and various invasion channels. The corresponding diseases were also different, and the treatment methods were also different.
The best way to resist it was to wear a protective suit to block out the outside air and protect one's body.
The most unique thing about Shennongjia's Miasma Evil Wind was that every time there was miasma, there would be poisonous insects and evil beasts accompanying it.
Inside the valley, there were all five types of poison. There were countless poisonous insects and ferocious ants. It was even more dangerous than those strange beasts.
"What kind of creatures would appear in this poisonous miasma?"
Professor Shen said, "There will be all kinds of poisonous creatures, but as far as I know, white-headed vipers and giant centipedes are the most likely to appear in this poisonous miasma. They are also the most active."
Dang Weiguo asked, "Which one is more dangerous?"
"This … should be the giant centipedes. Its chelicerae have extremely strong penetrating power, not weaker than the snake's teeth. Its toxicity is only slightly weaker than that of the white-headed viper, but even so, it can still kill people in an instant. The result will be the same no matter which of these two poisons we get hit by." Professor Shen sighed.
"I remember you prepared a potion to drive away poisonous insects and ferocious beasts, right? Didn't we come in safely after spraying a little on ourselves? "Dang Weiguo asked.
Professor Shen said, "I still don't know how many types of miasma there are in Shennongjia. So far, there are a total of 6,013 types of miasma …"
Dang Weiguo interrupted, "Of course I know that the plague is very dangerous. It's normal that you can't research all the antidotes. But what about the poisonous insects? There can't be more than 6,000 types of poisonous insects, right? "
"There aren't as many as 6,000 types, but their toxicity will change … The insect repellent potion is also constantly changing. It can even make people immune."
Professor Shen exclaimed, "Each type of poisonous insect is paired with a different type of miasma. Its toxicity and characteristics will be slightly different."
"Different miasma and different poisonous insects will complement each other and produce a considerable bonus. The possibilities of change are innumerable."
"I made a potion to drive away a type of poisonous insect, but the next time it comes, the miasma environment will change and the potion will lose its effect."
Professor Shen was old and had devoted himself to studying Shennongjia for many years. He was very familiar with this place, but he would always be unfamiliar with it.
"In a situation where there is no plague, my potion will be useful. I can even find a way to cure some of the toxins."
"But once the plague appears, the activity of the poisonous insects and beasts will increase sharply, and the changes are endless …"
"It is because of this strange and ever-changing environment that my research has come to a standstill. Every time I come to the core area, the miasma is almost unsolvable. I can only retreat and return in vain."
Dang Weiguo said with a smile, "We're wearing protective suits that are isolated from the outside air. Do you think those insects can bite through the 1.4 centimeter protective suits?"
Professor Shen sneered, "Easy …"
As he said that, a rustling sound came from the thick fog. Everyone's body immediately froze.
"Turn off the lights!"
Professor Shen and Dang Weiguo shouted at the same time. Everyone quickly turned off the lights. The surroundings were plunged into darkness. They could only lean on each other to feel that they were not alone.
"It's the giant centipedes!"
An unknown number of centipedes were coming toward them. There were sounds coming from all directions. It made their scalps tingle.
"Are you sure the centipedes can bite through the protective suits?" Dang Weiguo held a gun in his hand, but he knew that the gun was useless.
In a situation where there was no vision, no one knew if there was a teammate in front of their gun. Even if they could not hurt their teammates, they could not hit the centipedes.
Professor Shen said, "I'm sure! The giant centipedes' chelicerae can even break metal! For this, our group 93 has paid a heavy price. "
"Use the incendiary bombs! Burn these insects! "Dang Weiguo decisively gave the order.
Professor Shen was shocked. "You're crazy! If there's a big fire, the flames might not stop the insects, but it will definitely stop us! "
"I'll leave a way out!" Dang Weiguo quickly patted the team members in front and to the left and right of him.
"The three of you, throw the incendiary bombs in front of us."
Dang Weiguo was the commander of the combat team. They ignored Professor Shen and threw the incendiary bombs as soon as they heard the order.
The three team members created a fire barrier in the same direction. With a bang, the fire ignited and quickly burned the trees and decayed plants on the ground.
Even though there was a thick white fog in front of them, they could still see the red fire inside.
There were crackling sounds and more rapid and chaotic rustling sounds in the fire.
It was the sound of burning poisonous insects.
"Run in the direction of the fire!"
Dang Weiguo ordered. The combat team protected Professor Shen and the injured as they rushed toward the fire.
The group ran as if they were flying. They could not see what was in front of them, and they did not need to know what was in front of them. They only needed to listen to orders and charge forward!
The protective suits had insulating properties, but they could not withstand the fire. Fortunately, they were fast enough to rush through the fire zone.
"There are poisonous insects in this direction too!" Professor Shen shouted.
Although the fire zone had burned some of the poisonous insects to death, there was still a steady stream of poisonous insects coming. They passed through the fire zone and ran directly into a large group of poisonous insects.
"Don't stop!"
Dang Weiguo waited for a second, then took out two incendiary bombs and threw them behind him!
The fire suddenly spread. The fire was fierce and spread extremely quickly.
The poisonous insects on the ground crackled and rolled restlessly in the fire.
The group rushed out of the fire zone. Dang Weiguo was at the back, his body burning as he rushed out.
Professor Shen pointed at him and shouted, "You're really playing with your life! If the protective suit is burned, you'll definitely die! "
Dang Weiguo just smiled, but his hand was tightly covering a burned wound on his thigh. Even so, the wound was leaking air.
"Leader! There are no poisonous insects in front! "
"Very good! Full speed ahead and set fire to both sides at the same time! "
…
One kilometer away from them, Lan Mu was cleaning up the fire in the core of the deep valley.
This place had been bombed by the helicopters earlier. Although the forest fire did not worsen or spread, it was not extinguished for the time being.
As a firebird, Lan Mu saw the fire as food.
He shuttled through it, and the flames followed him. They were all sucked into his mouth and swallowed.
"I really have to eat fire …"
"There's no taste … but it's very comfortable …"
Lan Mu ate the forest fire for two reasons. First, he wanted to test his ability to eat fire. Second, he wanted to prevent the forest fire from spreading to Fang Moqi's side.
Three Tails brought two herbs. Lan Mu stuffed them into Fang Moqi's stomach.
After a while, Fang Moqi's breathing calmed down. It seemed that his life was really out of danger.
However, his bones were still broken, so he was still in a coma.
Three Tails was so sensible and smart. He even knew how to find herbs. This made Lan Mu want to keep him by his side in the future.
In spiritual communication, Three Tails did not reject this request. Instead, he was very happy.
However, Three Tails said that the center of the deep valley was his home. He hoped that Lan Mu could protect that place.
Lan Mu saw that there was still a big fire there, so he calmed the mess left by the combatants.
"Bi Bi Bi! Fang! "
Three Tails was caught by Lan Mu's feet. He flew in the air and saw the flames that kept appearing one kilometer away. He shouted anxiously.
"You don't have to always imitate my voice …"
"Three Tails, you want me to put out the fire?"
Lan Mu understood what Three Tails meant through spiritual communication.
"Do you think I'm a fire extinguisher? Hey … "
"I'm a firebird … not a fire extinguisher …"
Lan Mu's spiritual perception covered the area. He already knew that the fire was set by the group from before.
In the plague, there were countless poisonous insects and snakes. For humans, this was a danger that they could not even care about their own lives. Naturally, they would not care about setting fire everywhere.
"Okay …"
"I also need them to bring Old Fang out …"
"It's not a good idea to just lie there …"
"My hands are not good, and my brain is not smart. In order to get my novel published, I stayed up late to write. I'm a little impatient. My plot is messy. Chapter 114 has been edited. Please subscribe. Thank you for your support. Thank you for giving me time to grow. "
