Ode to

A group of people were bumping, and encountered a wave of quicksand and strong winds on the road. After losing some horses and luggage, and two people died, they saw a piece of shale-shaped Devil City.

We walked along the ancient river bed for another two days and arrived at a rocky mountain pass.Zhuoma, the leader of the guide, parted ways with everyone.The main reason is that Tibetans are quite in awe of ghosts and gods. For them, entering the Devil City is disrespect to the devil and they will be punished.The second is that there is no way for Dolma to lead the way here, because she has never been here before.

It was getting dark at this time, Chen Wenjin suggested finding a shale cave to rest for a few days, waiting for the best time to enter Tamutuo.Chen Wenjin is waiting for the rainy season.

According to the documents she found, when Wang Zanghai went to Tamutuo as an envoy, it was the only rainy season of the year in the Qaidam Basin.

At that time, she didn't understand why this situation was specifically recorded, but if they hadn't walked along these faint rivers these days, they still couldn't find their way, which shows the importance of this rain.

After waiting for two days, everyone finally heard the sound of pattering rain outside the entrance of the cave, and the best time has finally come.Everyone put on their raincoats and walked along the swollen riverbed towards a small shale in the distance that Zhang Qiling pointed out.In fact, that is the path that Zhang Zhan explored.

When she floated over the shale and saw the oasis sunken in the Gobi Basin, one can imagine the shock in her heart. This oasis was comparable to the Greater Khingan Mountains.

The rain stopped as the rest of the group passed through the gorge at the entrance.This is a basin, and there is no ventilation in the rainforest. The rain and fog linger together, making the already dangerous rainforest even more frightening.

Walking slowly along the canyon to the core of the rainforest, it didn't take long to see many grottoes distributed on the cliffs.Zhang Qiling scraped off the cover of one of the grotto statues, and a human-faced bird statue came out.

Chen Wenjin took out the notes she carried with her, and found a painting for comparison. This was a copy of the painting on the porcelain they brought out from Xisha.

"It's here. The Ming army who came here to attack a monster collectively in the painting above is this kind of human-faced bird."

Zhang Zhan glanced at Zhang Qiling. This statue was the human-faced bird they saw in Yunding Tiangong last time. It seemed that this place was really the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West in ancient times.

"Ertai, do you feel itchy?"

"Brother, you feel the same way, ouch, this makes it even more itchy."

"Brother, there is something wrong there!" Zhang Zhan pointed to the two whispering people.

"what?"

"They say they are itchy, do you?"

"Itchy... find a dry place to stay!" Zhang Qiling shouted.

"Zhang Qiling, what happened..."

"Ah! What! What is on me!"

Everyone looked at the two people who walked at the end, that is, the two people who just said that Zhang Zhan had a problem. At this time, many flowers and insects were crawling on their bodies. Everyone quickly looked at themselves and their surroundings, and saw that the surrounding tree trunks were covered with flowers and insects. It is densely packed to get flower bugs.

"Find a dry place and use fire to roast the grass ticks off, and you can't pull them out."

Everyone quickly and obediently found a relatively dry place and began to remove the grass ticks on their bodies. Zhang Qiling had already quickly rescued the two people, but it was too late. There were too many insects on the two people, and their blood was sucked dry.

Zhang Qiling had no choice but to return to the team, on guard for other dangers.Zhang Zhan saw that everyone else was more or less stained with bugs, only Zhang Qiling was clean.She just wanted to sigh once again, the unicorn blood of the Zhang family is really necessary for home travel.

"Brother..." Zhang Zhan pointed to the top of Chen Wenjin's head. A huge tree python was coiled on the thick branch, which almost merged with the trunk.

Huo Ling still wanted to make a sound, so Zhang Zhan quickly covered her mouth with a cloth. Fortunately, the situation was urgent at this time, and everyone's focus was not on this.

Everyone backed away slowly and softly, fearing that a little noise would startle these giant kings of the rainforest.I don't know who hit something, but the sound was especially loud in the rainforest.

"Run!" Zhang Qiling gave an order, and the sound of gunshots, running, and the sound of a giant snake quickly sliding down from the canopy gathered together.

This snake is not only big, but also quite ferocious, and its speed is not weak. Even a person as skilled as Zhang Qiling is almost hit by the snake's tail and head several times, not to mention those soldiers who can only wield guns.Not long after, more than half of the soldiers had been lost.

"Retreat, I will cover you!"
