Starting from the recovery of Shanhaijing

Chapter 152
The yacht sailed along the Luofeng River into the depths of Qiannan Nature Reserve.

Yan Jing controls the steering wheel, while Miao Yingshi observes the surroundings with a map and binoculars, looking for the area where the target is located.

The Lucky Compass really helped Yan Jing locate the area where the insect nest was located.

However, this can only be regarded as a good start.

The photos taken by the official satellites are all high-altitude mountain views without exception, and there is no red cross drawn on it to mark the insect nest.

If you want to really find the specific location of the insect nest and make it visible, you have to rely on on-site exploration.

This means that it is necessary to go deep into the Gannan Nature Reserve. Yan Jing contacted Miao Yingshi specifically to use his ability in this area.

Arriving at the target area, Yan Jing docked the yacht at a hidden place on the shore, and there was still a distance between Luofeng River and their destination.

The two stepped on their mounts and galloped into the deep forest.

Only a small part of the sunlight fell under the lush canopy, forming beams of light like searchlights in the forest. The visibility of the environment was worse than expected, and many places could even be said to be dim.

The fog accumulated at dawn is difficult to dissipate in a short time, so that the forest floor seems to be soaked in the fog that does not disperse.

It's time to test your mount.

As a zerg, Hu Ying has undergone many transformations and evolutions. Its strength is beyond doubt, and it has reached a state of mutual understanding with Yan Jing through a blood contract. Even in the depths of this primitive jungle with complex terrain, it still shows An extremely exaggerated speed.

To Yan Jing's surprise, the elk that Miao Yingshi was riding showed no sign of falling behind.

If Huying is a modified heavy-duty off-road vehicle, then Elk is a dexterous mountain bike. It moves forward by jumping, and every time it falls, it can find just the right foothold, and the subsequent rush is even more powerful.

The two walked forward alternately. The complex terrain and dangerous environment in the eyes of ordinary people did not affect them at all.

Even so, the vastness of the Gannan Nature Reserve still took them a long time, so that they had to take a short break halfway to let the tiger fireflies and elk recover their strength.

Starting in the morning, the two of them arrived near the target valley until the sun appeared in the middle of the sky.

This is still on the premise that the Special Affairs Bureau provided information in advance and provided satellite routes in real time to remind the two of their heading directions, and the progress was already much faster than the team sent by the Special Affairs Bureau.

Looking at the jungle through the satellite on the yacht, it is nothing more than green vegetation everywhere, and I don’t think there is anything, but when the two of them really entered the depths of the jungle, they realized how much the aura tide had brought to this inaccessible area.

Trees hundreds of meters high can be seen everywhere, and even some ordinary animals and plants have begun to appear alienated at the individual level.

Giant piranhas that attack passing creatures like wild beasts; butterflies with strange patterns on their backs that are similar in size to ordinary calves; umbrella mushrooms that are nearly two stories high, hollowed out and even able to live in people.
This is what Yan Jing saw along the way. Even though they are not common, they are all special mutant individuals, but their existence still proves that the transformation of Gannan Nature Reserve is faster than expected.

No wonder the teams dispatched by the Special Affairs Bureau are, without exception, composed of ember apostles and special combat soldiers.

Ordinary people entering this kind of area, not to mention finding the insect nest, whether they can leave smoothly is a problem.

Fortunately, both of them had strong strength to support them, and they didn't encounter unexpected situations such as fierce beasts blocking the way along the way.

Huying slowed down her pace. Since she was already close to the possible hiding place of the insect nest, the goal of the two of them had changed from rushing to find the trace of the insect nest, so naturally there was no need to rush forward.

"How are you going to find it?"

Miao Yingshi took out the kettle and threw another fruit to Yan Jing. The latter took it and directly squeezed it into juice with Cui Ling gloves, and poured it back into the former's kettle with an ice cube.

The two have cooperated in hunting so far, and this tacit understanding is still there.

Although they had already made preparations for camping in the mountains and forests before they came, nightfall meant that it was difficult to continue searching. Unless they were planning to stay in the deep mountains for two days, the time left for them to act was actually only a few hours.

It is a race against time to eliminate the insect nest. Neither Yan Jing nor the Special Affairs Bureau wants to waste too much time on finding the insect nest.

"Going further is the valley in the photo. Since the lucky compass has given a choice, there is no reason not to check it. I suspect that the worm nest is inside this valley. If you go directly in, you will be attacked by zerg, so you have to go around. "

Taking out the photo that was printed on the boat, Yan Jing pointed to the top of the mountain walls on both sides of the valley like two "chicken feet",
"We went to the top of the mountain first, and its shape is curved inward, which means that when we get here, our position is directly above the valley, and it will be easier to detect the surrounding situation or the interior of the valley."

On the premise of knowing that the worm nest is likely to exist in the valley, continuing to rush into the interior is undoubtedly putting oneself in a dangerous situation.

If it was not necessary, Yan Jing did not intend to directly clash with the swarm before finding the worm nest, as that would slow down their progress.

More importantly, it will take a long time for the reinforcements from the Special Affairs Bureau to reach this area, unless Yan Jing intends to bring Miao Yingshi to face thousands of insects and beasts.

Whether they can win or not is another matter. Even if they successfully escaped in the end, the controller of the worm nest may have already evacuated here.

"From the photos, this part of the mountain wall on the left side of the valley extends inwards to a greater extent, and this is a suitable observation point."

Miao Yingshi took the photo and pointed to the mountain peak in the upper left corner, which was only covered with a small part of vegetation, and the top part curved and extended to the valley.

His thoughts coincided with Yan Jing's, and the two set off immediately.

Two 10 minutes later.

The tiger firefly and the elk stepped on the steep rocks and appeared in the middle of the peak on the left side of the valley.

The former controls the tentacles to pierce into the surrounding mountain walls to stabilize the figure, while the latter will grow green plants as pedals every time he takes a step out of his hooves.

The high altitude at noon was filled with hot wind, which made the robes on the two of them flutter. Birds flew by under their feet. Occasionally, stones and debris fell, and they couldn’t hear the sound. They could only watch them disappear into the air. in the jungle,

When the slope gradually slowed down, the mountain also began to shrink, and finally turned into a sloping peak with a width of less than ten meters.

Yan Jing kicked a small stone in front of him, and watched it fall straight into the deep forested valley below. This place is several hundred meters above the ground, and it is the highest point in the nearby area. The lush forest can be seen as far as the eye can see.

After reaching the highest point, Yan Jing patted Hu Ying's forehead to let it try to perceive other zerg that might be around, and she took out two prepared meat buns from the backpack behind her back.

The torch space cannot store worldly items, so he has to carry these things with him.

He bit one in his mouth, and handed the other to Miao Yingshi, who patted his shoulder to signal to eat first, and the latter took it and took a bite, then took out a monocular with a mysterious pattern on the surface from the space .

I saw the light blue fluorescence overflowing the spirit pattern, and several magic rings burst out in front of the telescope.

This is an extraordinary prop that Miao Yingshi obtained in the last incident. It can not only expand the field of vision, freely zoom in on distant scenes and maintain a high-definition state, but also activate the life observation mode to obtain biological information within a specific range.

The stronger the observed person is, the less information he can obtain. If the observed person belongs to the lower-strength category, as long as Miao Yingshi is willing, he can even know the recent physical state of the observed person.

However, even with the help of extraordinary props, Miao Yingshi still didn't notice any abnormalities. After a few minutes, when the Roujiamo was almost finished, he turned to look at Yan Jing, frowned and said,

"The forest here, the birds, beasts and even insects living in it are all natural creatures, and there are no signs of Zerg activity, which does not conform to our previous judgment."

Arriving here from Luofengjiang, the two of them naturally wouldn't just be on their way, they would often communicate along the way.

According to Yan Jing's thinking, since the diameter of the insect nests above Shanqing City has exceeded 200 meters, the size of the insect nest must be several times larger than it, and the number of insects in the nest must exceed one hundred of.

Such a huge swarm of insects must consume a lot of energy all the time. Even if the swarms are like rabbits and don't eat grass by the side of the nest, they should massacre many wild beasts or fruits in the surrounding area and gather them for use. Maintain the normal operation of the nest.

However, Miao Yingshi did not observe any clues.

At the same time, Huying, who was trying to sense the insects around her, turned around and arched Yan Jing's waist with her head, calling softly, but it also didn't find anything.

Yan Jing rubbed her chin, and couldn't help but cast her gaze high into the sky.

It can't be in the sky again, right?
After a short thought, Yan Jing decisively denied this speculation.

The reason is very simple. As I said before, this place is deep in the Qiannan Nature Reserve, where there are few people. If the nest of the insect swarm dared to appear directly in the sky, the Special Affairs Bureau would not hesitate to take action.

In Shanqing City, the officials take care of the people and will not use too powerful weapons. There will be no pressure to change places here.

Judging from the fact that the worm girl arranged another worm nest in advance to attract their attention, and made multiple arrangements in Shanqing City, there is no reason why she could not consider such details.

"The possibility of the mother's nest appearing in the air is not high, and the probability is still underground. This is the only place that can provide a hiding place for the swarm."

The ability of the lucky compass has been tested many times. Yan Jing has absolute trust in it. The insect nest can't be wrong near here. Its huge size is doomed that it won't have too many options for hiding, but they haven't found a way to find it. That's all.

"It's too time-consuming to find it like this, we have to find a way to let it be exposed on its own initiative!"

With this in mind, Yan Jing no longer hesitated, and raised his hand to summon the Taiqing Baolu.

The crimson talisman was outlined in a blink of an eye, and it turned into dozens of firebirds and went straight to the jungle below.

　there will be later
