Fleeing from famine! A rough hunter has a fox husband

Chapter 242: Man-eating Poisonous Flying Ants

Although he is small, he is also the master of the two men, and he doesn't want to see them die here.

Of course, more importantly, if the two of them died, Meng Xiang himself might not survive.

Wang Zhe looked at the jade pendant, feeling embarrassed.

"Sir, this is a token for you to take back to the Princess's Mansion."

Meng Xiang's voice became even colder, and her tone left no room for doubt:

"It's already this time, of course life is more important. Both of you must stay alive. If anyone dares to die, I will kill your relatives as well."

Wang Zhe and the other man were stunned for a moment and could only lower their heads:

"I obey my orders."

Wang Min carried Meng Xiang on his back, so Wang Zhe went to the front alone.

He came to the front of Shen Nuo and his companions' carriage.

In fact, Shen Nuo had been paying attention to Meng Xiang just now, because Shen Nuo had an inexplicable liking for that child from the beginning.

Of course, maybe it’s because Shen Nuo himself likes children.

It may also be because Meng Xiang looks fair and tender, and her eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Shen Nuo.

In short, Shen Nuo subconsciously paid more attention to him.

"Master Shen, Master Qin, can I trade some mugwort and mint with you?"

"Oh? What do you want to exchange for it?"

Shen Nuo was a little curious about what they could come up with.

The next moment, Wang Zhe presented an exquisitely carved jade pendant with both hands.

The jade pendant is all white with a peony pattern on it. If you look closely, you can see a small word "Yuan" on it.

"I only hope that we can redeem this jade pendant when we have money in the future."

Shen Nuo took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully. It should be a very valuable item.

"Okay, when the time comes, what you bring must be worthy of the value of this jade pendant."

He turned around and took out some wormwood and mint from the carriage, as well as a bottle of mint juice.

"If you have any trouble on the road, you can come to me. As long as you don't do anything to harm others, for the sake of money, we can still help each other."

Wang Zhe felt a little painful. That was the young master’s jade pendant, how could it not be valuable?

But now is not the time to feel sad. We have to find a way to get out of this forest alive.

He picked up all the things that Shen Nuo had placed on the side of the cart and said:

"Thank you."

Then he turned around and walked back.

When Meng Xiang knew that Shen Nuo accepted the jade pendant, she felt inexplicably relieved.

Along the way, he discovered that Shen Nuo and his companions were different from other disaster victims.

Now that they have accepted my jade pendant, it means that it will be of help to them in the future.

Even if they were treated as ordinary fellow villagers, at least they would not be allowed to die easily.

No matter how smart Meng Xiang was, he was still a child. He was already very scared when fleeing from famine, and now that he encountered such a poisonous creature, he became even more panicked.

Fortunately, they were lucky enough to meet Shen Nuo and his friends.

After Wang Zhe came back, he smeared the mint juice directly on Meng Xiang's clothes, and also smeared some on himself and Wang Min's bodies.

"Okay, let's light the mugwort first."

Lin Yuanshan was at the front, walking almost side by side with Qin Yan and Qin Liang.

They all lit mugwort and placed it on the edge of the cart.

Qin Yan hugged Shen Nuo tightly in his arms.

"Let's go."

Shen Nuo opened his mouth and the horse began to move forward.

The dense swarms of mosquitoes seemed to know someone was coming and flew towards the crowd with a buzzing sound.

Qin Yan held Shen Nuo in his arms, thinking that if a mosquito came close, he would have to use his magic power.

The next moment, the mosquito flying in front seemed to smell a disgusting odor and instantly dared not move forward.

At this time, Shen Nuo saw that there were some flying ants mixed in with the mosquitoes, and these flying ants were also poisonous.

Although it is not fatal, it can cause unbearable pain to the person bitten, and the person may even fall to the ground due to the pain.

Continuing to move forward, Qin Yan kept an eye on the situation around him.

He felt relieved when he saw that the mosquitoes were just flying around and didn't dare to come close.

Those who applied the mint were not bitten, but some people who came after were not so lucky.

Some of the victims were already in rags, without even a decent piece of clothing, let alone extra clothes to cover their bodies.

They had no coverings for their faces and hands, and no wormwood mint.

At this time, even if you follow closely behind the people from Yunzhu Village, you will still be bitten a little.

Listening to the cries of pain coming one after another behind them, the people of Yunzhu Village felt their scalps tingling.

Being bitten by flying ants is really painful. Some people even fall to the ground because of the severe pain in their legs.

By the time he reacted and tried to catch up with everyone, he was completely surrounded by mosquitoes, and in the end only a dried corpse was left.

The others looked back at the mummy and immediately squeezed forward in fear, all wanting to get some of the smoke from the burning mugwort in the hands of the Yunzhu villagers.

They kept running forward, and even Meng Xiang was carried by Wang Zhe, and their walking speed increased a lot.

There was the buzzing of mosquitoes all around, and behind me were victims falling down one after another.

Even Shen Nuo shrank back when he heard the voice behind him.

Qin Yan held him in his arms, pressed his head into his arms with one hand and covered his ears.

The veil was tilted, just blocking Shen Nuo's view.

And ahead is a scene that makes people shudder at the sight.

I saw that the trees on both sides in front of me were full of ant holes, and looking up I saw tens of thousands of mosquitoes.

Fortunately, the smoke from their mugwort was the thickest at that time, so Qin Yan drove the carriage faster without saying a word.

Qin Liang and the others all took a deep breath.

Fortunately they still had the carriage, and fortunately the children were in the carriage.

They walked much faster, no one said a word, and no one dared to stop.

Shen Nuo clearly heard louder noises around him; the sound of the mosquitoes almost drowned out the screams of some disaster victims behind him.

"Don't be afraid, Nuonuo, it will be over soon."

Qin Yan patted Shen Nuo's back gently to comfort him.

He could see a light not far ahead. As long as he reached the light, there would not be so many poisonous mosquitoes.

Walking further, Qin Yan clearly felt that the surroundings were much darker, and the air here was damp and musty.

Suddenly, more flying ants flew near them, as if preparing to attack.

Qin Yan frowned as he looked at the flying ants that were as big as bees.

He cast a spell and quietly created a barrier that could block the approach of surrounding objects, but it could only last for less than half a quarter of an hour.

"Uncle, let's go faster."

The barrier Qin Yan set up this time was quite large, and some of the victims behind him were also protected inside it.

But it's only half a quarter of an hour, and whether they can get out of the forest during this period depends on themselves.

Qin Yan and his companions' horses were moving much faster, and the people of Yunzhu Village did not dare to slack off and followed closely.

During this time, Qin Yan saw the flying ant directly crash into the barrier.

Sure enough, these things are not afraid of the smoke of mugwort at all.
