chapter 6 Miasma in the mountains

Zany Lowe smiled calmly and said, "At the top of the mountain? Haha... I can't see it. Their current situation may not be much better than yours! No one has climbed to the top of the mountain in thousands of years, let alone your friends." "

"You are exaggerating. This mountain is not very high. Nowadays, even the Himalayas, the highest mountain in the world, people climb up just because they say it. This mountain is just a little more lush with vegetation. As you said Is it so mysterious?" Little Fatty Yanston Quin curled his lips and said.

"Height isn't the only scary thing about mountains. Hey! I hope I'm worrying too much."Zany Lowe let out a long sigh, glanced at the four of them, and said with a smile, "I think you all look hungry." ? I have some food here, please put it down first. We will set off soon. We must find a safe place to camp before dark!" As he said this, Zany Lowe opened the package he carried with him. There were a few things in the package. Chunks of elk jerky.

The four of them were also very hungry, so they took it and chewed it without any ceremony. Although the texture of the elk meat is relatively hard, the taste is extremely delicious. The four of them ate it with gusto. In a short time, they had finished Zany Lowe three days' worth of dry food. Looking at the empty package, Yanston Quin was still a little unsatisfied. He blinked and said, "This is the first time in my life that I have eaten such delicious meat. Why is it gone? Hey!"

"Okay, you're the only one who eats more, fat guy! We've eaten all their food, what should they do?"Xena Labelle scolded Yanston Quin with some dissatisfaction, and then felt a little guilty. Look at Zany Lowe.

Zany Lowe smiled calmly and said, "It doesn't matter! The most indispensable thing in this mountain is food. Okay, I think you have almost rested, let's get on the road!"

"But. But our compass is broken. Wouldn't it be more dangerous if we go in the wrong direction?"Felix Henderson asked with some embarrassment.

"Compass? There is a tree called ironwood growing in this forest! This tree itself can emit a kind of magnetism. When hundreds of ironwood trees gather together, the earth's large magnetic field will be disturbed within a certain range. Even if it changes, the compass will naturally not work!"Zany Lowe said.

Felix Henderson and the other four were shocked when they heard this, and Denise Shaw even more worriedly said, "What should I do? Teacher and the others also rely on a compass to identify directions..."

"So I say, it is unlikely that they have reached the top of the mountain. Maybe they are as lost as you are now."Zany Lowe frowned and said. There are also some hidden worries in my heart. Getting lost is not the scariest thing. There are many wild animals in Hidden Dragon Peak. If you encounter a pack of wolves, a pack of lions, etc., it will be terrible.

"Then. What should we do?" The four young people completely lost their minds and had no choice but to pin all their hopes on Zany Lowe, who was even younger than them. Zany Lowe behaved very calmly and calmly, which gradually made the four of them feel more relaxed. "Maybe we can meet them on the road. Okay, from now on everyone listen to my instructions and follow me closely. If you can't support anymore, just speak out. Don't hold on. Understand ?"

Although Zany Lowe was young, under such circumstances, when he was serious, he naturally showed a majesty that was irresistible. The four of them nodded obediently.

"The Hidden Dragon Peak. The wind blows from the north. The branches and leaves on the north side of the trees bear the brunt. They are a bit sparser than the branches and leaves on the south side. As long as we observe carefully, we don't necessarily have to rely on a compass to determine the direction..." Along the way, Zany Lowe kept conveying the knowledge of survival in the mountains to the four people, which opened the eyes of the four pampered city kids, and their admiration for Zany Lowe became deeper and deeper.

Suddenly, Zany Lowe, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped. Xena Labelle, who was following him, had no time to stop and bumped into Zany Lowe's back. The strong and clear masculine aura coming from Zany Lowe made him laugh. She couldn't help but moan, and her pretty face turned red.

Hearing the movement behind him, Zany Lowe turned around apologetically and repeatedly said sorry to Xena Labelle. Xena Labelle lowered his head. He felt even more shy when Zany Lowe apologized. He didn't even dare to raise his head. He just asked naa, "Why do you stop?"

Zany Lowe turned his head and looked at the thick liquid-like fog in front of him, and said faintly, "What a thick miasma!" After hearing Zany Lowe's words, the four of them looked forward together. Everyone couldn't help but lose color on their faces. Not far ahead, looking around, everything in front of them was wrapped in a thick layer of air. It was so dark and rolling that it looked chilling. .

"They say there is a lot of fog in the mountains! But this fog is too thick, isn't it?"Yanston Quin said in annoyance.

Zany Lowe smiled slightly and said, "This is not a thick fog, but a miasma! In the mountain forests in the south, the leaves are lush and the humidity is heavy! The sun cannot shine here all year round, so the dead plants and animal corpses cannot be found in time. The decomposition and decay over the years will form this miasma.”

"Ah! I know. I've seen it on the trees. This miasma is highly poisonous. If people who inhale the miasma don't detoxify in time, they will die of the poison, right?"Xena Labelle was a little excited. said.

Zany Lowe smiled calmly at her and said, "Yes! That's right. Looking at the concentration of the miasma in front of you, it looks particularly vicious and may cause death!"

Felix Henderson stared for a while and found that except for the direction from behind, all other directions were shrouded in this thick, sky-blocking miasma. If he didn't want to turn back, he had to go through this miasma! I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, so I had to look at Zany Lowe for help and said, "What should I do? If I don't go through, there seems to be no other way! But this miasma is highly poisonous..."

After hearing Felix Henderson's words, the other three people also hesitated and looked at the miasma in front of them, and then looked behind them, feeling a little at a loss. Just when the three of them had no idea, they made a surprising discovery. Zany Lowe was searching the ground carefully for something.

"Hey, what are you looking for? Tell us and we will help you find it together!"Xena Labelle couldn't help but ask. Zany Lowe smiled and said, "This world looks complicated, but it is actually simple. As long as you remember one rule - one thing is suppressed, there is nothing you can't do! Although the miasma in the mountains is poisonous, it is not difficult to restrain it! Yes! , I have it!"Zany Lowe leaned over and picked out a small fruit-like ball from a strange plant on the ground that looked like a cactus but not a cactus.
