1181 Stubborn, this unfortunate child
The miasma forest is shrouded in black fog all year round, and it is gray inside, like night but not like night. Even a master like the Ninth Prince will have his vision affected when he steps into the miasma forest, and can barely see things three meters away.
The surroundings were gloomy, and Doudou always felt a gloomy aura at the back of his neck. Because he was warned by the Ninth Prince, Doudou did not dare to say much, and followed Feng Qingchen carefully, like a little tail.
The three of them haven't spoken since they entered the miasma forest, and even their breathing has been cautious.
What they are guarding against is not people, but the environment here. The miasma forest itself has the power to destroy a person.
Feng Qingchen held the hem of the Ninth Prince's clothes with one hand and held the compass with the other. She believed in the Ninth Prince's ability to find the way, but she couldn't disbelieve in science because the compass had been verified countless times and was absolutely effective.
Perhaps because there is no sunlight all year round, the miasma forest feels damp. The ground underfoot is soft and covered with moss. Stepping on it feels like stepping on snake skin, slippery and soft, making your whole body numb.
Fortunately, the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen had made preparations before coming in. Their shoes were non-slip, so it would not be easy for them to fall here.
Time was plenty and the three of them were in no hurry at all. Under the guidance of the Ninth Prince, they slowly walked deeper into the miasma forest. The deeper they went, the heavier the humidity became.
"Where is this? Why do every road feel the same? Where are we going?" Doudou couldn't help but ask.
"In the miasma forest, we have to look for the place where Xiling Tianlei stayed. We will wait wherever there are signs of people staying there." If Xiling Tianlei retreats, he will definitely take the road he is familiar with.
Although the method of sitting back and waiting for the rabbit is a bit stupid, as long as you are sure that the rabbit will come, it will be fine.
"It's so big, how can I find it like this?" Doudou said he was under a lot of pressure because he couldn't see the road ahead clearly and didn't know what dangers lay ahead.
When faced with unknown dangers, people will instinctively become afraid.
"There aren't many places here where people can stay for a long time. We'll find it soon if we search one by one." The Ninth Prince turned around to comfort Doudou and reminded him, "Be careful. If I remember correctly, there is a swamp nearby."
"I know..."
"ah……"
Feng Qingchen had just said two words when he was interrupted by Doudou's sharp voice.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts so much, help, help."
Feng Qingchen turned around and saw Doudou jumping on the spot, shaking the back of his collar.
"What's wrong?" Feng Qingchen didn't dare to step forward. He immediately turned the backpack over, took out the flashlight, and shone it at Doudou.
"Bug, there was a bug that scared me and jumped into my clothes. It hurts so much..." Doudou pointed behind himself and was about to cry.
Wow, it's so embarrassing that the second-ranked figure in the killer world died at the hands of a few bugs.
"Snap..." When the flashlight shone over, Feng Qingchen was immediately dumbfounded.
Damn, what did she see.
A tree, a soft and twisting tree, and the branches hanging upside down are also soft.
It's not that there's something wrong with the tree's species, but that the tree is covered with caterpillars, and they're falling down with a clatter, like it's raining caterpillars.
Feng Qingchen couldn't tell how thick the tree was. There were so many caterpillars on it that it looked as if it was made entirely of caterpillars.
There was a layer of it on the ground, the branches were still not exposed, and Doudou...
His back was covered with caterpillars, at least a hundred of them, as well as his hair and face. He was standing in a position where the caterpillars would fall.
So scary!
"Hurry, get out of the way and take off your clothes." Feng Qingchen said quickly. Doudou did not hesitate and immediately jumped to the side, took off his clothes with his backhand, threw them on top, and stomped on them hard with his feet.
With a smacking sound, the clothes instantly turned into a pile of mud, but this was not the end.
"Don't be in a hurry to step on them to death. There are still some on your undershirt. Keep taking them off until your upper body is completely naked." After Feng Qingchen finished speaking, the Ninth Prince stepped forward and took off Doudou's clothes.
Doudou refused to do so, and the Ninth Prince was so angry that he wanted to kill him with a palm: "You don't want to live anymore, why don't you take it off quickly."
"Wow, wow, wow, I can't take it off. I didn't bring any new clothes. If I take them off, I will have nothing to wear." Doudou was about to cry. Who could have thought that this would happen.
He never has the habit of carrying laundry with him. Have you ever seen a master carrying a bag with laundry in it? How embarrassing it is and it doesn't look cool at all.
Haven't you seen his master? He didn't even bring a weapon with him to look cool. He travels around the world with a sword, which is not as cool as traveling around the world with bare hands.
"You still care about this now, are you crazy?" Feng Qingchen was going crazy.
Oh my god, Doudou's brain can't be full of tofu dregs, how can he not distinguish the important from the unimportant? He is even worse than Zhezhe. Although Zhezhe is a bit violent, he is smart and practical.
"I'm not crazy. This is very important. We'll be staying in the miasma forest for several days. Do I have to be naked? No, no, I absolutely won't take it off." Doudou defended his clothes to the death: "If you help me shake off the bugs... Ouch, it hurts so much."
Doudou was bitten by a bug, and his whole body twisted like a caterpillar. The Ninth Prince didn't care about him, he raised his hand and patted Doudou, and with a slapping sound...
Doudou didn't know how many caterpillars he had killed. He just felt a sticky sensation on his back: "Ahhh, it's so dirty. There's no water here, no water."
"Do you want to take it off?" The Ninth Prince asked in a cold voice without any affection.
"No matter how dirty the clothes are, they can still cover my body, so why should I take them off?" Doudou is a person who will not change once he makes up his mind, no matter whether he is right or wrong, unless...
"I have a set of clothes here. I promise I won't leave you naked." Feng Qingchen felt powerless because... she saw that the group of caterpillars seemed to be moving, and they were wriggling towards them.
Doudou got excited when he heard this: "Bad guy Feng Qingchen, why didn't you tell me earlier that you had clothes? Take them off, take them off, Uncle Nine, you have to take them off quickly."
Doudou was quite cooperative. He stretched out his hands and let the Ninth Prince do it.
The Ninth Prince had never met such a difficult person. In a rage, he pulled hard, and Doudou was unsteadily thrown forward. With a "click", countless caterpillars were crushed down.
"Ahhh... It's so dirty and hurts so much." Doudou jumped up from the ground, his body covered with green caterpillar juice and his skin was red and swollen from the caterpillar stings.
He looked so miserable, as if he had just been fished out of a toilet, with not a single clean spot on his body.
"What should I do? What should I do? My body hurts so much. Am I poisoned? Will I die?" Doudou looked at Feng Qingchen pitifully. His face was also red from the stings. His whole face was swollen like a pig's head. It was really funny. But Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince couldn't laugh at this time, because...
