I didn't feel any problem when I rushed into this unfamiliar mountain. I just wanted to shake off the pursuers behind me.
The surrounding trees were tall and dense, blocking out the blazing afternoon sun. It made me feel as if I had rushed into a world of dusk. It was as if I had traveled through space and time.
Then, a beetle the size of a fist flew past me.
Holy sh * t! Even if it wasn't as big as my fist, it should be bigger than Ai Mi's fist. It's also pure black, Xiao Qin would be scared to death if she saw it!
I comforted myself: The super large beetle was only in flight and the shadows in the forest, so it was exaggerated by my vision. Then I continued to run deeper into the forest.
The bald brute caught up from behind and shouted for me to stop. Should I listen to him?
I disregarded everything and ran another 50 or 60 meters into the forest. The cold air brought by the moisture in the leaves made me shiver uncontrollably.
When I turned my head back to look, the mottled green shadows of all kinds of lush plants had already completely concealed the path I had come from. I didn't know where I was, and my pursuers must have also lost track of me.
"Brat, come out! You can't escape! If I catch you, I'll skin you alive! "
When the bald man couldn't find me, he was so angry that he kept cursing. However, I wasn't worried about his threat because his voice seemed to come from a maze of twists and turns.
I looked at the Blue Flash Butterfly in my hand. Its vitality was stronger than I imagined. It was still quite lively even after I pinched its wings for so long.
I put the Blue Flash Butterfly into my net and tied a dead knot to trap the Blue Flash Butterfly inside. This way, I could free one hand and it would be more convenient for me to do anything.
It rained in Yining district yesterday morning. Compared to Cuisong Mountain, this unknown mountain was still damp. I crouched behind the bushes and actually shivered a few times.
Under the rotten leaves I stepped on, a grasshopper the size of a small cucumber crawled out. It was restlessly crawling towards the gap between my pants and sneakers.
I moved slowly but mercilessly stomped it to death. Do you want to eat? I haven't eaten yet!
* Squeak. * Squeak. * Just as I stepped on the grasshopper, a black creature the size of a slipper leaped past me.
Wild rats! A black rat that was even bigger than a shoe! The class leader would be scared to death!
What kind of place was this Nameless Mountain? If they were tied to a tree here, the beetles and mice alone would be enough to take their lives.
Although I didn't scream in fear, the mouse's squeaking was ear-piercing in the tranquil forest. The bald man slashed his way through the thistles and thorns as he walked toward me.
That damned rat! If not for the lack of time, I would have trampled you to death as well!
I cursed under my breath and continued to run. Along the way, I passed by a ditch full of water, a swarm of buzzing mosquitoes, and a rotting rabbit carcass (Gong CaiCai will be sad if she sees this, right?).
When I thought I had shaken off the bald man, I suddenly heard an owl-like cry from above my head. It made me feel uneasy and I ran forward a bit more.
The mountains rose and fell. I was getting hungrier and hungrier. I felt fear from the bottom of my heart in the dark forest.
"Don't look down on nature." The class leader's words were still echoing in my ears. I'm afraid I've arrived at an unconquered natural area.
But as a hero, how could Sparda cower in the face of difficulties and dangers? This Nameless Mountain might be dangerous for me, but does it mean it's safe for the pursuers?
As expected, the sound of the bald man's footsteps gradually disappeared. I don't know if he gave up on the chase or if he was entangled by some unexpected trouble.
For safety's sake, I walked deeper into the Nameless Mountain even though I knew there was a tiger on the mountain.
The surrounding light only allowed me to see the silhouettes of the objects. I felt that it was enough to open up the map to this point. If I went any further and saw a prehistoric giant cat, a prehistoric giant rat, or a prehistoric giant grasshopper, I would become the male lead of a horror movie.
I looked at the Blue Flash Butterfly in my net that was still flapping its wings. I started to think about how to escape later and what kind of opening line I should say when I contact Ai ShuQiao.
Suddenly, I slipped. It seemed that I had stepped on some moss on a round rock. I hastily tried to regain my balance. Moreover, I was worried about the Blue Flash Butterfly in the net. I felt that it wouldn't matter if I fell, but I definitely couldn't crush it to death.
I didn't fall, but I stepped on something in the grass when I slipped.
Then I felt a sharp pain on my ankle. Something sharp pierced through my jeans and left a bite mark on my ankle.
What is it? Is it a snake? Is it poisonous?
I was shocked. In order to avoid being bitten a second time, I didn't look at the road in front of me and subconsciously tried to escape. However, I stepped on another patch of moss that was even more slippery.
After that, I didn't want to relive the terrifying feeling of falling and losing consciousness a second time.
I fell into an abandoned bear trap.
I didn't know how much time had passed, but when I woke up from unconsciousness, I realized the truth with the light from my phone screen.
The trap was at least 5 meters deep and the bottom was covered with hard rocks and leaves. Fortunately, the hunter had already taken away the other tools (such as iron spikes). Otherwise, it wouldn't be as simple as just being knocked unconscious.
If a bear couldn't climb up the trap, then I naturally couldn't climb up it either. Gramps Ren only taught me Yin Yang Sanshou, but he didn't teach me qinggong.
There was no signal on my phone, not even a bar. It was impossible to call for help.
To make matters worse, my left ankle that was suspected to be bitten by a snake started to swell and I felt a burning sensation and a slight numbness.
Was I bitten by a venomous snake? How strong was the poison? Was it a neurotoxin or a muscle toxin? Would I be able to keep my leg?
My back and both my arms received different degrees of abrasions when I fell into the trap. Although the Blue Flash Butterfly in the net was still energetic, it didn't comfort me at all.
I had a strong premonition that I might die here if I wasn't careful.
Although I wasn't convinced, I could only open my mouth and call for help from the butterfly hunters who might be nearby.
"Is anyone there? Yes … "
I scared myself as soon as I opened my mouth. My loud voice, which I thought was loud and clear, was actually so hoarse that it could only produce a mosquito-like sound.
My throat was extremely dry and I felt like I had used up all my saliva. I felt like every drop of my blood was on the verge of boiling.
I fainted again.
I don't know how much time had passed, but I woke up at the bottom of the relatively dry but even colder pit. Pain came from all over my body.
The numbness in my left leg was even stronger and it had already spread to my entire calf.
I didn't eat lunch and I felt like my last bit of stamina was drained after the intense run. I was so sleepy, I wanted to sleep.
But … it wasn't time to surrender!
I clenched my teeth, squeezed out the potential of every cell in my body, and suddenly stood up from the ground!
I promised Ai Mi that I wouldn't die! My death here was meaningless! Sparta wasn't afraid of death, but I couldn't leave so many unfinished things!
I, want, to, fight! I want to defy the heavens!!!!
I used my ten fingers to grab the inner wall of the trap and tried to climb up, but the soil was harder than I imagined. I don't know what the hunters did when they dug the trap, but I tried a few times to no avail. I couldn't even climb a meter.
It was also useless to use the net as a tool. Although the material was still considered strong, it wasn't sharp enough.
It would be good if I had a knife, I thought bitterly in my heart.
After scraping all ten of my fingernails, I realized in despair that I couldn't return to the ground with brute force. Even if I escaped the trap, I might not be able to find a way out of the dense forest with this numb leg that was bitten by a snake.
I could only sit down and rest for a while. Then, I picked up my phone again, hoping for a signal.
There was still no signal. I called everyone in the phone book, including 114, 119, and 110, but I couldn't get through to any of them.
I couldn't send a text either. No matter how many times I repeated it, it was a failure.
There was still a lot of battery left, but in this situation, how was it different from an MP4?
I couldn't call for help because my throat was dry and hoarse, so I started to play 'The Hottest Ethnic Trend' on my phone at maximum volume, but no one was attracted.
Damn, shouldn't I have saved Gong Lina's' Perturbed 'to save my life?
Looking at the Blue Flash Butterfly in the net, I suddenly had an inspiration. I remembered the story of Xiao Longnu who was trapped at the bottom of the Heartless Valley and was saved by carving words on the wings of a bee.
However, it was too meaningless. Let alone the fact that I didn't have Xiao Longnu's micro-sculpting skills, even if I let the Blue Flash Butterfly go, the biggest possibility was that it would be eaten by the predators in this forest. Even if the butterfly hunters caught it, they wouldn't be kind enough to save me. They would definitely happily exchange it for money.
So, I, who had obtained a rare butterfly worth 500 thousand USD, ironically fell into a desperate situation. At this moment, I would rather exchange the Blue Flash Butterfly for 5 RMB xiaolongbao. I, who was starving, could eat at least 30 xiaolongbao right now.
The pain in my ankle attacked me again. It was probably because the acidic venom was corroding my muscles. The fear of the unknown poison worsened my body's symptoms.
I didn't have any strength left. I had to try again. I didn't want to die in a bear trap and become food for wild rats.
The bottom of the trap was bare and covered with hard stones. There wasn't even a grass root. It extinguished my hope of obtaining nutrients.
My eyes were red from hunger and anxiety. My gaze fell on the weakened Blue Flash Butterfly, and a great name came to mind.
Bear Grylls! People called him "Bear Grylls", the man who stood at the top of the food chain!
