Huamanlou saw Ding Ning catch a fat rabbit, his eyes lit up immediately, he immediately sat down beside Ding Ning, and said enthusiastically, "My good brother, let me do this kind of dirty work." Okay, you go to rest!"
"Okay then, let's roast this rabbit!"
Ding Ning directly gave Huamanlou the fork with the rabbit meat on it, thinking that the fat man must be starving and wanted to rub his own rabbit meat, otherwise he would be so courteous.
At this time, Hai Yunfan, who went to explore the road, finally came back. He smelled a strong smell of blood coming from the camp, and immediately said displeased, "What's the matter, can't you dispose of the corpses away from the camp?" ? It was scribbled here, and the strong smell of blood will attract the large animals nearby."
"Don't look at us, this rabbit was brought back by my good brother after cleaning it up in the distance. As for who caused the strong bloody smell, you will know by looking at them." Huamanlou said. Pointing his chin at the mercenary, he said gloatingly.
After all, the strong smell of blood will attract large animals, which will seriously affect everyone's safety. Hai Yunfan had to go to the mercenary to talk about it in person this time.
Lei Ting was smoking a cigar in the tent, when he heard the commotion outside, he came out with a cigar in his mouth and said with disdain, "What's the name, what's the matter, my brother and I walked for a day, and we packed a bag on the way. Boa constrictor, is it not allowed to rest at night and want to eat something good?"
Chapter 1000 Two hundred and forty-nine
"No, it's not allowed. It's just that when you clean up the animals, can you go to a farther place to deal with them? All the internal organs and blood are nearby. It's very dangerous. Don't you know this common sense?" Ding Ning finally couldn't bear it anymore and stood up and said.
Hai Yunfan said, "Although we were all invited by Professor Qian, please respect people. You don't know the terrain here, so don't implicate us if you don't want to live."
After finishing speaking, Hai Yunfan said to Ding Ning, "Brother Ding, this place may not be safe anymore, we must find another place to set up camp, there will definitely be wild animals passing by here tonight."
At this moment, Professor Qian also came out of the tent. He didn't consider whether the two teams he had invited were all good people, and conflicts broke out one after another.
"Captain Lei, I still listen to Brother Hai here, hurry up and ask your people to clean up this place, let's move to another place to rest!"
When Professor Qian was young, he often walked in these deep mountains and old forests. There are still some basic attempts of this kind.
"Professor Qian, what's the matter? We have weapons on our bodies. Could it be that those monsters can take a shot from me?" A mercenary said triumphantly while holding up his submachine gun.
Hearing this, Hai Yunfan sneered, "Really? I admit that your weapons are very powerful, but what about two or a group instead of one? Don't forget, someone was almost taken away by a python today."
"Treader, can you say that again?" The mercenary who was dragged away by the snake took out a saber from his pocket.
Lei Ting quickly grabbed his men, and said with a smile, "All right, all right, I didn't tell them to blame us, so let's quickly set up camp in another place."
On the surface, Lei Ting was smiling and apologizing, but there was no trace of apology in his eyes, but full of sarcasm instead.
He said this for Professor Qian's sake. It's not that they don't know the knowledge of survival in the wild. It's just that they rely on their own weapons and don't understand the dangers here. They feel that they can deal with any danger as long as they have a gun Easy fix.
Anyway, Ding Ning didn't know how these mercenaries were trained in the jungle before, but he knew very well that if he really encountered a wild beast in the woods, as long as the wild beast was a bit cunning, it might be killed before it raised its gun.
What's more, this is still Yunli Mountain, a forbidden area for human beings. It is unknown how many dangers and wild beasts there are.
After packing up the tents, everyone moved forward again and set up camp at a place two kilometers away from the previous camp.
Hua Manlou didn't care about this kind of thing. Seeing them busy, he took out some condiments from his pocket and sprinkled them on the rabbit meat. Immediately, the aroma overflowed, attracting everyone's attention.
Hua Manlou approached and smelled it, showed a satisfied smile, and took a provocative look at the mercenary.
These mercenaries simply roasted wild boar meat, how could it be possible to roast this kind of fragrant food.
Compared with the fat rabbit in Hua Manlou's hand, their boar meat suddenly became dull.
"Ouch! This is too fragrant!" Hua Manlou laughed loudly.
Ding Ning threw a few of the firewood he had picked up into the fire, then snatched the roasted rabbit over, and said, "Fatty, that's not bad! You can do this! I really didn't expect it!"
"Cut! Of course, is it possible that the Daoist Priest's fat is for nothing? I roasted it. You can give the Daoist Priest a taste first."
At this time, Hai Yunmo was also attracted by the scent, walked over here, and asked, "Brothers, your roasted rabbit smells so good, can you give me a taste?"
"Of course it's fine!"
Ding Ning generously broke off the rabbit's leg and handed it to Hai Yunmo.
After she took a small sip, she widened her eyes and said in surprise, "Wow! The fragrance is so strong, and it tastes delicious when you eat it. I didn't expect that you two big men are so good at cooking!"
"Big sister, let's not talk about other things! My Taoist master's craftsmanship is one of the best. If I say second, no one will dare to say first." Hua Manlou said triumphantly.
Ding Ning just smiled and didn't say a word, this fat man likes to pretend, let him pretend.
The mercenary over there couldn't bear it any longer, walked over and said bluntly, "Give us your condiments."
Hua Manlou ignored him, happily gnawing on the delicious rabbit meat in his hand.
This made the mercenary anxious, and said impatiently, "Hey! Do you hear that? Give us the condiments, are you deaf?"
"Whose dog came to me and barked? If you don't drag it away, don't blame me for being rude!" Hua Manlou yelled.
When the mercenary heard someone call him a dog, his face twisted in anger, and he shouted, "You horse rider, are you courting death?"
Ding Ning stood up immediately, and said flatly, "If you don't want to die, get out, don't make trouble in front of us."
"Hehe...you are asking me to do something? I will teach you how to behave today!"
"Snapped!!!"
As soon as the mercenary finished speaking, his eyes immediately darkened, and his face began to burn with pain.
He staggered back two steps, looking at Ding Ning with a hint of surprise in his eyes, he didn't even know who hit him.
The mercenary looked at several people, only Ding Ning was standing, and the only one who could beat him was Ding Ning.
He said with a look of surprise, "Your grandma, dare to hit me?"
"I didn't. Which eye of yours saw that I beat you? Is there any evidence? Is there any witness? If not, don't blame people casually."
In fact, Ding Ning had already avoided conflicts with the mercenaries. After all, they had weapons on them. Now that his body was no longer in good health, he still had to be wary of these things.
"If you didn't hit me, who else would hit it? You're the only one standing in front of me."
"Hey! What you said is wrong, my brother has been standing here, look..."
Hua Manlou hurriedly got up and stood beside Ding Ning, then stretched out his hand to the mercenary, and said, "Look, I'm still a foot away from you, how could I hit you? Besides, if my brother If it moves, you must be able to see it, right? It can’t be touched at all, how can it hit you? Don’t you think so?”
Hearing Hua Manlou's judgment, the mercenary had nothing to say, but he was slapped for real. If there was anything present that could slap him, it was only human.
Hua Manlou rolled his eyes to look around, came to the mercenary's ear and whispered, "Brother, you don't know, this Daoist priest has been walking in the rivers and lakes for many years, and has encountered many strange incidents, the one who hit you just now must not be My brother, but the evil thing in this forest!"
Chapter 1000 Two hundred and fifty
"Stop scaring me here, there are no ghosts in this world."
"Don't believe me, what is the priest doing to scare you? I'll just ask you, have you ever killed someone? Have you ever done anything rebellious? Also, do you feel chest tightness and shortness of breath recently, and you toss and turn to sleep at night? no."
Hua Manlou said it in a serious manner, seeing that the mercenary's face was not right, he immediately added fuel and jealousy, "Boy, you have to trust the Daoist! As for what I just said, what do you think? Do you have... eh? "
The mercenary just looked at Hua Manlou and said nothing, because what Hua Manlou said was exactly what happened to him.
Even if they don't believe in ghosts and gods in this business, they still maintain a heart of awe.
"Master Dao, have I really been targeted? Are you really not lying to me? Could it be that I have done too many bad things in the past..." the mercenary said with a pale face.
"Hush!!!" Hua Manlou suddenly said suspiciously, "You want to die! The evil thing can only be said by me, because I am a practitioner, he can't do anything to me, but you are different, You are an ordinary person."
Hearing Hua Manlou's words, the mercenary couldn't help shivering, and hurriedly bowed to his surroundings.
The mercenaries over there were all eating, drinking and having fun, and didn't even pay attention to what happened here, so Huamanlou had more room to play.
I saw him walking side by side with this mercenary kindly, and started to fool him, how could he say anything.
Ding Ning didn't care what Hua Manlou did, he sat down and ate the delicious rabbit meat, chatting with Hai Yunmo.
Half an hour later, Hua Manlou finally finished fooling around and came back to sit down.
Hai Yunmo asked with a smile, "Master Huadao, what did you tell that mercenary just now? Did you dig a hole for him to jump?"
"Oh! My Daoist is a good person. It is impossible to do such a thing. It's just for him to reflect on himself."
The next second, Hua Manlou looked at his roasted rabbit and exclaimed, "Hey, hey! Where's my roasted rabbit? Where did my roasted rabbit go? Why don't you leave some for the Daoist?"
Ding Ning rolled his eyes at Hua Manlou, and said, "What are you talking nonsense, since when did this rabbit belong to you, I obviously caught it back."
"Oh! Good brother, is this too far away from me? With such a relationship between you and me, what is the difference between you and me?"
Seeing that there was no meat to eat, Hua Manlou could only stretch his waist, yawned, and said, "Alas...there is no rabbit to eat, so the Taoist priest can only go to sleep, you watch the night carefully!"
Originally, it was not up to Ding Ning and the others to watch the night, but the virtues of those mercenaries were really unbelievable, so they had to discuss the night watch again.
Ding Ning walked into Professor Qian's tent to discuss things with him, and it happened that Hai Yunfan was also here, and they didn't tell the mercenaries about going to the ancient tomb to find bloodthirsty Gu worms.
If that group of people knew about it, they would definitely have other thoughts, not to mention raising the price, and it would be bad if something happened.
Although they are not short of money, they are still very upset to be scammed by them.
But the Hai Yunfan brothers and sisters absolutely believed it. They agreed to come out to help because of the relationship between Professor Qian and their master.
Hai Yunfan also knew the purpose of this trip, and said after a moment of contemplation, "If I really go to the tomb to find treasure, I have nothing to worry about, but if this trip is to save people, then I will definitely help."
"Okay, thank you very much!"
"It's okay, but the mercenaries that Professor Qian invited are really going their own way. I'm worried that if this continues, it may cause trouble."
Professor Qian was also very helpless. He sighed and said, "The matter is too urgent, and I didn't have time to observe these people in person. I hired them only after being introduced by my friends."
"Professor Qian, you were also in the rivers and lakes back then. You know the dangers in the deep mountains and old forests. I think it's better for you to talk about them yourself." Hai Yunfan said.
"Okay, I'll go and tell them. If it doesn't work, I'll transfer the money to them immediately and make them leave on their own."
Ding Ning and the others have no opinion on this decision. Those mercenaries are useful, but they may not be counted on at a critical moment.
After discussing tomorrow's itinerary, Professor Qian went out to talk to the mercenary captain Lei Ting.
Now Lei Ting was so angry that his eyes were smoking, but he could only swallow his anger for the sake of money. The most important thing was that they followed Professor Qian to find this ancient tomb and took out the contents to make a fortune.
"Captain, this old man is too annoying, he talked all the way."
Lei Ting took a sip of his cigar and said with a sneer, "People like them have this kind of virtue. Tomorrow, everyone, restrain yourself! Our purpose is to follow them to find the ancient tomb and get the treasure inside. From now on, we can live happily Happy."
"Yes! I knew it, we will never go wrong with Big Brother!"
"Everyone, rest now! Perform well tomorrow!"
On the other side, Hua Manlou was snoring like thunder, Ding Ning couldn't sleep no matter what, wishing to take off his socks and stuff them into his mouth.
Ding Ning couldn't sleep not only because of Huamanlou's snoring, he was worried about Qian Chuchu, he didn't know how her health was, he just hoped that this time it would go well, and he would go back immediately after getting the antidote for the bloodthirsty Gu worm.
"what!!!"
At this moment, there was a scream outside, and Ding Ning rushed out of the tent.
Hua Manlou clasped her butt impatiently, sat up slowly, and said, "Who is it... What is it called in the middle of the night, and you are not allowed to sleep?"
This scream woke up the entire camp, and they moved towards the place where the sound came from.
Lei Ting came out of the tent cursing, and asked, "What's going on, you horse-rider?"
"Brother... old... old sixth is gone..." A mercenary pointed at a pool of blood on the ground and said tremblingly.
There is only one mercenary on guard tonight, and this person has disappeared, leaving only a pile of blood on the ground.
"It's really that he's so numb. Quickly pick up the thing and look around for me. I want to see what it is that dares to touch me." Lei Ting roared angrily.
Hai Yunfan said softly, "Yunmo, you stay here, protect Professor Qian, and don't leave him half a step away."
"I see, brother, you all have to be careful, be careful."
"Everyone search separately, and report immediately if there is any situation!" Hai Yunfan said.
Chapter 1000 Two hundred and fifty-one
"Look at you, what's the rush? You can find something like this, and you don't come to ask the priest if there is any way to find him." Hua Manlou yawned, stretched and walked over.
Huamanlou took out a paper crane from his cloth bag, which seemed to be folded out of talisman paper. He took the paper crane and dipped it in the blood left on the ground, and then began to chant incantations.
Soon, the Thousand Paper Crane seemed to be given life, flapping its wings and flying, which was even more miraculous than magic.
"This is a unique skill in Taoism, what are you doing in a daze! Hurry up and catch up!"
The thousand paper cranes flew towards a certain place, and everyone followed immediately. Fortunately, the thousand paper cranes were shining with golden light, so they wouldn't be lost in the dark woods.
About half an hour later, the thousand paper cranes suddenly turned into ashes, which proved that this place was the last place where the mercenary was.
Seeing this, Hua Manlou clapped his hands, and said, "It's over, the thousand paper cranes spontaneously ignited, I'm afraid that man is in danger, let's search around and see if we can find his body!"
Everyone immediately searched separately, and soon, a mercenary ran over in a panic, and said in a trembling voice, "Brother, I found it, I found the sixth..."
Hearing this, everyone went together and saw a dead body lying in the bushes.
The scene in front of him made people shudder. I saw that the mercenary had been disembowelled, and he was thrown in the bushes full of thorns. Part of his internal organs were indeed removed, and the rest fell out with his intestines.
"Bastard! What killed my brother?" Lei Ting cursed, and the anger in his heart suddenly rose.
Hai Yunfan went closer to inspect the corpse, and said with a frown, "The injury that caused his death was on his neck, four very sharp scratches cut off his main artery, and his abdomen was also torn apart abruptly. , the lack of internal organs is likely to be eaten, but what kind of beast is dedicated to eating internal organs?"
"What I'm most worried about is that the other party is not a beast..."
Ding Ning pointed to the corpse and said, "Look at these scars, if they were caused by wild beasts, only large wild beasts have such sharp claws, but the gaps between the scratches are very small."
