Chapter 812: Entering the Mountains and Encountering Danger

In early April, the intertwined branches of the trees stretched out luxuriantly, and the fresh green and trembling leaves wove into a fine mesh of domes and green clouds, which stopped in the clear blue sky. Walking in the jungle in the mountains was a bit disappointing to the beauty of the spring scenery.

They were a group of 13 people. In addition to the 10 secret guards, Shen Xiaoxiao and Yan Kuan, there was also a doctor from the base who was proficient in Chinese and Western medicine.

Behind each person was a horse carrying their supplies and of course people.

When walking in the mountains and forests, especially this kind of completely undeveloped mountains and forests, the best means of transportation is horses.

They have been trying their best to reduce the weight and physical exhaustion. From the range they have surveyed, it takes at least 1 day to walk to where they want to go according to the current pace.

They set off at 6 o'clock in the morning, let the horses rest for 15 minutes every two hours, and then continue. At night, they will set up camp in an open space to rest, and the three shifts of people will also take turns on duty.

"You've been walking for a day. Are you tired? Eat something."

Because it was the first day, 19 even packed a dozen sandwiches for Shen Xiaoxiao to take with him when he went out in the morning. It happened to be early spring, and there was no deterioration when he took them out of the sealed box.

The only problem they had this time was Shen Xiaoxiao's food. Of course, Yan Kuan would not let others touch what Shen Xiaoxiao wanted to eat, and he carried it all by himself.

Although they were all dry food, there were also some nutrients, which were all the supplies Shen Xiaoxiao needed. Drinking a bottle every day could maintain energy for a day.

"I'm fine. Is everyone settled? According to today's pace, we will reach the destination around noon tomorrow. I don't know what it will be like over there, but it's been peaceful today. Are they grilling outside? It smells so good."

"They shot pheasants and hares. There are a lot of prey in spring. There's not enough meat or fat. This is for you."

Shen Xiaoxiao took a not-so-big roast chicken and started eating. Yan Kuan sorted out the things in the tent and chatted with Shen Xiaoxiao.

"I think we had a smooth journey today, and nothing unexpected happened."

When Shen Xiaoxiao was with Yan Kuan, she didn't care much about her eating manners, and there was no such thing as not talking while eating.

Yan Kuan naturally knew what Shen Xiaoxiao meant by that. After he had made the bed, he slowly said:

"So, tonight is the key. Whether it's wild animals or those people, the spring has come and the wild animals that have been hungry for a winter want to find food. When they see the delicious food in front of them, they naturally can't resist the temptation."

"Do you think Jiang Haoting will send someone? And An Yi?"

"Not sure, he should, but I still don't know which side An Yi is on, because his loyalty to me is definitely not fake, and I found that he is only targeting you."

"Me?"

"Why?"

"It's because it's you, so I think An Yi is either related to the old woman or to your grandfather Shen Guoan."

"So you don't agree to bring Lin Jiahui, Han Jia, and Liu Yufei now?"

"Bringing three women who are in the way won't help us. I have already arranged that someone will help us send people over, so that we can save labor."

Shen Xiaoxiao quickly finished a whole chicken, drank a sip of water, and took the Sanming Zhi continued to eat, and continued while eating:

"That is to say, if An Yi or other people hiding in the dark are also targeting the Shen Family Fund, they will definitely try to rescue them while we are away, or even bring them here, right?

After all, the key to open the door of the Shen Family Fund is with me."

"Yes, that's true."

"Every time I mention this Shen Family Fund, I feel awkward. I think it's more reasonable to call it the Shen Family Tomb. It has been buried in the wilderness for thousands of years. It's nothing but a tomb.

Who gave the fund a name? It's so literary, how can it sound good?"

"If you like to call it an ancient tomb, it is an ancient tomb. You, eat and rest quickly. Tomorrow is the key."

"Okay, are you going to patrol?"

"I want to go and see, but I'll be outside the tent."

"Okay, then I'll go to sleep first."

Shen Xiaoxiao is not comparable to Yan Kuan. She knows this better than anyone else, so when Yan Kuan said he was going out to investigate, she simply wiped her face after eating and fell asleep. With this man by her side, she would be much more relaxed.

The forest in early spring is always chilly at night. Fortunately, their combat uniforms are made of special materials so they are not afraid of freezing even in the dead of winter.

But even in a place where they are not afraid of heavy snow in the dead of winter, just after 12 o'clock, almost all of them were awakened by the cold.

This kind of cold is the kind of coldness that comes from the ground. It is not a cold wind, and the leaves are not blown.

Just such a strange climate made everyone run out of the tent, including Shen Xiaoxiao.

"Why is it so cold all of a sudden?"

Shen Xiaoxiao asked Yan Kuan. Yan Kuan didn't know what was going on. The thermometer suddenly dropped from 10 degrees to minus 10 degrees.

This is definitely not normal. Frost and ice would have appeared at minus 10 degrees.

But now, except for Yan Dada, there is no frost in the surrounding bushes.

"Look at this fire."

The dark guard exclaimed beside them, and everyone looked at the fires lit in every corner.

Their tents are all surrounded by each other to form a circle, and then there is a pile of fire in the middle of the tent, and then there are several piles of fire outside the arc around the tent.

This is also to prevent wild animals from approaching. Wild animals are afraid of fire, and this practice is very common.

But it is because of this that everyone saw something weird.

At this moment, all these fires turned from the orange flames just now to the orchid, which is a creepy scene.

Under what circumstances does the fire turn into such a orchid?

Encountering phosphorus or something else in the air.

"Everyone put on a gas mask."

However, no matter what happened, the fire suddenly turned into this, which is definitely not simple. It has not yet reached the destination, and it is at least a hundred miles away from the destination. Now such a weird scene has appeared, so what will happen next?

What else will appear?

When Yan Kuan finished asking everyone to wear gas masks, it was a little late. The first person to show symptoms was An 20, who was closest to the fire and the strongest one.

His scalp was numb, his limbs were weak, and his head was dizzy. If he hadn't been strong-willed, he would have fainted long ago.

Then the other secret guards also showed the same symptoms. In just 10 minutes, except for Yan Kuan and Shen Xiaoxiao who were still standing there, everyone and Ma all fainted on the ground without exception. What happened? Why were only the two of them safe and sound?
