Ancient Invasion [End Times]

The [-]th day after the invasion·【First update】Two kinds of biological illustrated books are known to light up

As soon as Duan Yi's words came out, Lin Qian and Xu Ying immediately took action without saying a word.

Cheng Sheng heard the words and said quickly: "Wait, don't move!"

Lin Qian paused, and immediately stopped what he and Xu Ying were doing.

"Most smelly plants in the wild are likely to be poisonous. The plant juice can cause skin redness, swelling, itching, severe and even festering, and it can be fatal here." Cheng Sheng spoke quickly.

Du Nanrong gasped when he heard this, but he didn't expect this to happen. He looked at Cheng Sheng and asked, "Then what shall we do?"

Cheng Sheng looked around and whispered to himself, "There should be a relatively common..."

Before he finished speaking, his eyes lit up: "I found it!"

He walked over quickly, and just less than two meters away from them, there was a clump of Labiatae plants that were not tall, about [-] centimeters high, which was about the height of human legs.

A group of people followed Cheng Sheng, and when Lin Qian saw the clump of plants the doctor was pointing to, his expression was a little strange: "This is mint? But it looks like it has been polluted by miasma... Can it be used?"

For the clump of plants that Cheng Sheng pointed out, the middle and lower parts of the stems are brilliant purple, and the upper stems are blue, and the same is reflected on the leaves. The veins of the middle and lower leaves are obviously purple, while the upper part is also light blue. There is a layer of puberulent leaves on the leaves, and there is a transitional color difference in the middle, which is very beautiful.

But in this wild primeval forest, once the colors of the plants become brighter, it will look a little weird, especially in this miasma, which makes people somewhat afraid to start.

Cheng Sheng said, "This is purple-stemmed mint. The underground stems and fibrous roots of this mint are relatively shallow into the soil."

"Look at the ground, the stolons exposed on the ground are staggered and dense, which is their characteristic, and it's not because of the miasma that they become so colorful."

As he spoke, he picked up a lot of leaves, rubbed vigorously to squeeze out the juice, and rubbed it on Luo Xiaonan's calf and feet.

Cheng Sheng explained and demonstrated: "Most of the peppermint oil glands are distributed on the upper and lower epidermis of the leaves. We can get some peppermint oil relatively easily by rubbing and squeezing in this way."

"The peppermint oil in Peppermint is very good, and it contains a high amount of menthol. It is one of the most useful plants in the wild. It can also be eaten raw, and it has a good effect on calming emotions and boosting spirits."

As he spoke, he noticed that other people were just looking at him, as if they were in his college class.

Cheng Sheng didn't have much patience and temper. Seeing this, he squinted his eyes and glanced at Lin Qian and the others, and asked, "What are you all looking at? No hands or feet? Or wait for your humble doctor to personally smear your whole body?"

Lin Qian and Du Nanrong trembled from the cynicism in Cheng Sheng's words. Who would dare to let the doctor do it?Duan Duan was the first to strike.

A group of people hurriedly imitated Cheng Sheng's appearance, squeezed the mint and began to rub and squeeze the mint oil.

"Everyone put it on." Duan Yi said, "Although only one person stepped on the egg, I am afraid that each of us will get some smell on us. And those things are very sensitive to smell."

Lin Qian couldn't help asking: "What the hell is that? Team Duan encountered it before?"

Cheng Sheng glanced at him: "So many questions? It's enough to know that it's your life."

Duan Yi knew that Cheng Sheng was worried about him, so he shook the doctor's palm lightly, indicating that it was okay, and said, "I did meet it."

"Those flying birds are in groups, small in size, and covered in pitch-black feathers, except for their bright and beautiful orange belly, and a pair of strange red eyes, and a strange sour smell from their bodies," Duan Yi said.

"They fly very fast, have sharp beaks, and are very good at attacking vulnerable parts of humans, such as the eyes."

"We have dealt with them head-on and lost three of them." Duan Yi looked at Lin Qian and the others, "One of them was blinded by poking, and the other two seemed to overreact, causing suffocation and death."

Hearing this, Cheng Sheng frowned and looked at Duan Yi, he pursed his lips and said, "The bird you're talking about should be the Guanlin Flycatcher, which is what was often called a jin in ancient times."

"At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang, a foreign relative, poisoned Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty with poisonous wine to usurp the Han Dynasty. Similarly, we also have a word "drinking poison to quench thirst" to describe the short-sightedness of only looking at the immediate but not the long-term. It is said that doves drink water in the river, and their feathers are stained. If the water in the river is flooded, the whole river will be poisoned, and the people and animals who drink the water will die."

"This bird was only discovered at the end of the last century, and it is the only bird known to be poisonous." Cheng Sheng said, and he looked at Duan Yi, "The two people you mentioned overreacted and suffocated to death. the poison of the bird."

"Under its feathers, there is a highly toxic toxin similar to the poison dart frog. This toxin can interrupt the signal between the biological nerve cells and muscle cells, causing the central nervous system to convulse and numb, and finally cause the biological respiratory paralysis and death " Cheng Sheng said.

"This kind of toxin is hard to defend against. Once you touch it, you will be infected with its toxin, and it is difficult for you to guarantee that you will not touch other parts of your body, such as eyes, lips, mouth and nose. Once you touch it, the toxin will immediately Get into it, penetrate the blood."

"—not to mention if there is a wound on the surface of the skin."

"Just ten grams of toxin is enough to kill a mouse within 10 minutes." Cheng Sheng looked at Duan Yi, "If, as you said, these birds attack in groups, it is only a matter of time before people die. "

Lin Qian took a deep breath, and immediately accelerated his movements.

Cheng Sheng picked up the remaining mint that had grown well and took it away. Duan Yi observed the surrounding situation and said in a low voice, "Hurry up, we should go."

"Roger that!"

Xu Ying asked Cheng Sheng softly: "Doctor, can these peppermint oils really completely cover up those smells?"

Cheng Sheng followed Duan Yi, and said after hearing the words: "For those crowned flycatchers, it is uncertain how much it will play. This kind of bird's way of life is very secretive, and it has been rarely seen since the Ming and Qing Dynasties. I didn't expect to live in such a miasma...our understanding of it is very limited."

"Praying will help." Cheng Sheng said softly.

Xu Ying stopped talking, she silently dragged Luo Xiaonan and Du Jingshu up, and quickly followed Duan Yi's speed.

The distribution area of ​​the entire miasma forest is estimated based on the area that Duan Yi and Cheng Sheng saw after climbing up the rocks. The shortest length across is less than two kilometers.

With any luck, they'll be out of here before noon the next day.

Almost no one in the team spoke, only the two lit torches at one end and one at the end lit up, piercing through the mist of the night, making people feel a little more at ease.

There is always wind blowing in the forest. They are located in a low-lying valley, surrounded by high mountains and tall trees on both sides.

The fire was swayed by the wind, and sometimes the wind was strong, and it seemed that it would be blown out in the next second, which made Du Jingshu startled.

Duan Yi walked for about an hour, and the torch in his hand was almost burned out, so he replaced it with another one, and Zhang Jiuzhang also replaced it.

"How far is it?" Zhang Jiuzhang continued to ask.

Duan Yi looked up at the sky. In the night sky covered by miasma, he could only vaguely see the starlight of the Polaris circle. He said: "There is no deviation in the direction. Calculated by the footsteps, we only walked one-fifth of the time. .”

"Only one-fifth?" Du Jingshu heard, took a light breath, she felt that she had walked a long, long way.

"Our walking speed is only half of the normal walking speed through the forest." Duan Yi said, "We should continue walking. The longer we stay and rest, the worse it will be for us."

Du Jingshu took a sip of water and continued to follow the team.

Luo Xiaonan couldn't move as he walked. Every time their legs and feet stepped on, they would sink into the rotten mud. Every time they pulled out, it was more laborious than walking on flat ground. Over time, their physical strength was greatly exhausted. Exceeds consumption on flat ground.

The little guy's arms and legs were trembling a little. Du Nanrong, who was walking behind him, saw this, and lifted Luo Xiaonan up, and carried him on his shoulders.

"Uncle Du..." Luo Xiaonan shyly shouted, "Nan Nan can still leave."

"It's okay, I'll carry you for a while, and Nannan will go down by himself later." Du Nanrong grinned, patted Luo Xiaonan's calf, and patted the smelly, bloody mud.

He paused and immediately called to the people in front of him.

Zhang Jiuzhang took a nearby torch to take a picture, but there was no other wound except blood, and he didn't know where it got it from.

Duan Yi held up the torch and swept towards the ground where the group of them had just walked. The miasma on the surface was slightly dispersed under the light of the fire, and a small part of the ground could be seen clearly.

Xu Ying and Lin Qian took sticks and pushed away the litter and mud piled up on the ground, but they didn't see anything.

"I guess I accidentally stepped on some bug." Lin Qian said, couldn't help but wiped his calf, and opened his palm to see, it was also a piece of bright red blood.

Seeing this, Cheng Sheng frowned slightly, took the torch in Zhang Jiuzhang's hand and swept it towards the legs of the others.

He lightly brushed the mud on Luo Xiaonan's legs, revealing a piece of white and dirty calf skin. The layer of dried mud that had been wiped on the legs before was probably scratched off during the journey.

He swept over to the others, and only the rotten mud was left on Du Jingshu's calf, and there were three or four thick black and fat locusts lying on the little girl's legs inconspicuously, hidden by the mud. Can't tell at a glance.

Du Jingshu's scalp was numb, but compared to Malu whom she had seen before, the little girl seemed to be a little numb.

"It's a leech, a common leech. It will fall off automatically when it is full of blood, but the wound will continue to bleed, prone to bacterial infection, and the smell of blood will also cause trouble." Cheng Sheng said.

Seeing Zhang Jiuzhang frowning, he wanted to push the leech away with his hands, and immediately said: "The sucker on the lower abdomen of the leech pierces into the skin, if you pull it out forcibly, it may break the sucker's mouthparts at the skin wound, causing serious injuries." Infected, don't do it directly."

"Do like me." Cheng Sheng said, and rubbed the excess mint leaves that he picked up earlier on Du Jingshu's legs.

Not long after, the leeches came out automatically.

He distributed the mint leaves to Du Nanrong, Xu Ying and Zhang Jiuzhang and asked them to do the same.

Sure enough, there were also a few leeches attached to other people's legs, and under the stimulation of peppermint oil, one by one automatically fell off.

"Apply less on the wound, it can stop the itching and pain, but don't apply too much, it will irritate the skin wound." Cheng Sheng said to them.

He also checked himself and Duan Yi, their legs were clean, as if those bugs consciously avoided them.

Lin Qian hissed, "I thought I stepped on some innocent little creature by mistake, but I didn't expect to be tricked by myself."

"In this forest, do you still think there is something good about it?" Xu Ying retorted, "It's just that the leeches are good, that is, they look fatter."

"It's more than a little, right? It must be at least ten centimeters!" Du Nanrong couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. The leeches he usually sees are not that long.

Cheng Sheng Youhuo shone on the leeches, frowning slightly: "It's really bad luck. This is the tyrant leech, the king of leeches. It has huge teeth that are much larger than other leeches."

"This kind of tyrant leech is very uncommon... There are hundreds of kinds of germs they carry. Once they get into the skin, they can cause sepsis and many other troubles."

"In fact, some people were drilled into the skin by this tyrant leech a few years ago." Cheng Sheng spoke quickly, "The saliva of this leech has an anesthetic effect, and it is difficult for the bitten person to notice that the leech has penetrated into the skin." in the skin."

"That person was unlucky. The leech swam into the throat. After sucking up the blood, the body swelled up, resulting in tracheal occlusion, and finally died of suffocation and anemia."

Lin Qian grinned, showing a disgusted expression.

"To be on the safe side, we must check whether you have any signs of being drilled into this kind of leech." Cheng Sheng said.

Duan Yi nodded, found a large rock, and asked everyone to stand on it.

He and Cheng Sheng held a torch each and carefully checked everyone's condition.

Those who passed the inspection were all relieved.

Du Jingshu looked at Cheng Sheng anxiously, afraid that he would be tricked again.

It wasn't until Cheng Sheng said "You're fine", that Du Jingshu heaved a sigh of relief, leaned against the rock, and immediately heard a "puchi", and the little girl felt her back suddenly wet and sticky.

She froze and looked at Cheng Sheng. Cheng Sheng obviously heard the movement and turned around immediately.

He pursed his lips and said in a deep voice: "Turn around, turn your back to me, and lift up your clothes."

Du Jingshu stiffly followed Cheng Sheng's instructions, and lifted several layers of clothes to reveal the smooth skin behind her.

There were more tyrant leeches climbing on Du Jingshu's back, two of them were obviously crushed suddenly just now, and the blood sucked in their bodies exploded.

Du Jingshu asked with trembling voice: "Doctor, how are you?"

Xu Ying and Du Nanrong came over to look at it, both of them looked a little ugly, and neither of them spoke.

Cheng Sheng approached the skin with a torch, and whispered, "It's not a big problem."

Didn't get into the skin, just lay on its back and sucked blood.

It's just that there aren't many mints, so you should keep this kind of useful thing on hand.

Tyrant leeches are afraid of fire, so Cheng Sheng changed the torches and used fire to fume those things down.

He told the others to check each other's backs.

Du Nanrong and Zhang Jiuzhang checked each other, and Du Nanrong asked worriedly: "Is it true? You didn't scare me?"

"Then I'll roast it on the fire for you?" Zhang Jiuzhang asked with a sneer.

Du Nanrong: "..."

Being pressed by Xu Ying, Lin Qian twisted uneasily, and asked, "Sister Ying, why have you been looking at it for so long? Don't scare me?"

Xu Ying pursed her lips, holding the scale claw knife in her hand, not knowing what to do, she shouted: "Doctor, Duan Duan, come and see."

When Lin Qian heard this, his face was yellower than the soil on the Loess Plateau.

Cheng Sheng immediately put down the task of roasting leeches for Du Jingshu, handed it over to Du Nanrong, and walked towards Lin Qian.

On Lin Qian's back, there was only one leech lying on his back, but most of his body had penetrated under the surface of the skin, leaving only a small dot still wriggling.

Seeing this, Cheng Sheng's face became serious, and he lowered his voice and said to Duan Yi: "Go in, I hope there is only one."

Lin Qian: "...Doctor, I can hear you."

Cheng Sheng paused for a moment, then said "Yes", "I was afraid that Du Jingshu and Luo Xiaonan would hear it and cause panic."

Lin Qian had a bitter face, and had no intention of taking care of him when he co-authored.

Cheng Sheng said, "I believe you have the perseverance to overcome."

Lin Qian took a deep breath, put on this tall hat... that's the only way to put it on.

He nodded: "Doctor, what do I need to do?"

"Lie down, don't move." Cheng Sheng said, pulled out the curved claw knife that Duan Yi made for him, roasted it on the torch for a short while, and said, "It will hurt a little."

Lin Qian still wanted to say, "Come if you have nothing to do", but Cheng Sheng had already taken the knife.

Quickly and accurately, he cut open that piece of skin directly, and watched as the fat leech drilled deeper into the skin.

Lin Qian snorted, the pain caused Lin Qian to subconsciously struggle, but was suppressed by Xu Ying and Duan Yi, who had been prepared for a long time, and saw that the veins on his neck and temples were bulging, and his neck was red to his face. superior.

Cheng Sheng pressed the hot blade against the leech, causing the leech to turn over and curl up suddenly.

The mouthparts and suction cups that were visible to the naked eye fell off and were picked up by Cheng Sheng with a claw knife and flew out.

Cheng Sheng cut the knife with high accuracy, which also ensured that the incision wound was very small.

"Fortunately, there is only one." Cheng Sheng said.

Lin Qian was in a cold sweat, and couldn't help being relieved to hear this.

Cheng Sheng didn't use peppermint oil to smear the wound. He first washed the wound with clean water brought into the miasma, and then found a wider broad leaf, rinsed it with water, and covered Lin Qian's wound.

"The clothes have been covered with mud for a long time. Compared with the cloths we have, the cleanliness is not as good as this kind of broad leaves that have been simply washed." Cheng Sheng said, "This kind of broad leaves have a smooth surface and rarely adhere to a large number of germs. .”

Duan Yi tore off a dead vine—this kind of vine can be seen everywhere in this kind of forest—and tied it tightly to the wound of the leaf, compressing the wound, thereby stopping the bleeding.

Cheng Sheng took out a needle tube from his pocket, and said to Lin Qian who was about to pass out from the pain, "This is an antibacterial agent I made temporarily in the laboratory earlier, and that tyrant leech may infect you. Sepsis and other complications must be injected as soon as possible."

Lin Qian nodded in understanding.

"It will hurt a little, I will inject it for you now." Cheng Sheng said.

Lin Qian grinned, and his voice was weak: "If it hurts again, can it be as painful as it was just now, Doctor?"

Cheng Sheng didn't answer, just patted his veins and inserted a needle.

Lin Qian's eyes widened suddenly, and he let out a low growl in pain.

Xu Ying almost couldn't control him, but it was Duan Yi who held Lin Qian down firmly, preventing Lin Qian from falling off the rock.

"This kind of antibacterial agent that can be used by the human body will take effect in a short period of time. It should not be a big problem if you endure it for a minute." Cheng Sheng said to Duan Yi's gaze.

Duan Yi nodded slightly.

It didn't take a minute, less than half a minute, and Lin Qian passed out unbearably.

Cheng Sheng pursed his lips, looked around, and asked Duan Yi, "Stop here for a while to rest?"

Duan Yi looked at the others, most of them were a little embarrassed by the sudden leeches, and the leeches were sucking blood, and the miasma was hot and humid, which greatly burdened other people, and it is really not suitable to continue at the moment Bite the bullet and hurry.

"Those birds didn't come after them, maybe we've already got rid of them." Duan Yi whispered, "Let's rest here for half an hour."

Xu Ying replied, "Got it."

Cheng Sheng distributed the mint leaves to others to refresh their minds.

While sniffing the cool and refreshing smell of mint, Du Nanrong looked in Lin Qian's direction worriedly, and asked Cheng Sheng, "Is he alright?"

"It's okay, let him rest for half an hour," Cheng Sheng said.
