Chapter 202 Cannot be ignored
I didn’t expect that there were so many wild fruits growing on this mountain.
Walking along the winding mountain road, everywhere I looked, I saw not only colorful flowers and fluttering butterflies, but also several wild fruit trees laden with fruits.
These wild fruit trees vary in height, but each one is lush and leafy. The small and exquisite wild fruits dotted among them like gems, adding an attractive color to the entire forest.
Although wild fruits look good, you can only look at them. If you eat them, the sourness is self-evident.
Just as they were carefully clearing the weeds under their feet, suddenly, an indescribable sense of crisis made them alert.
Their eyes were as sharp as hawks, vigilantly scanning every corner around them, not missing any slightest movement. At this moment, the atmosphere was extremely tense, as if even the air had frozen.
And deep in the dense grass, two nimble cheetahs were hiding. They were quietly hiding there, like ghosts lurking in the darkness, their cold eyes fixed on their prey.
The atmosphere quickly reached a fever pitch when two adult cheetahs suddenly leaped out of the brush and charged straight at their target. Their agility and swiftness made anyone's hair stand on end. In the cheetahs' eyes, they were all food.
When the cheetah pounced, Mo Rao and the others went forward to meet the enemy. At this time, Mo Rao was protected in the middle by Twelve and others, eliminating the danger outside.
I saw Twelve, Fifteen and others fighting with two adult cheetahs. The cheetahs suffered losses at their hands one after another and became irritable.
The cheetah jumped onto a tree, intending to swoop down and give them a fatal blow.
Twelve and the others were also injured to some extent, but not seriously.
A cheetah would occasionally attack them, trying to distract them.
But Twelve and his group were not pushovers. When the cheetah swooped down, they jumped up, avoided the cheetah, and then attacked the cheetah fiercely.
In the end, the cheetah died under the fierce attack of their group.
Mo Rao did not take any action throughout the whole process. These cheetahs could be dealt with by Twelve and others.
Mo Rao looked at the dead cheetahs and decided to hang them on the tree so that she could take them with her when she left. After all, they could be sold for silver.
Mo Rao picked some herbs from the side. The juice of these herbs was very pungent. She applied the juice on the prey to cover up some of the bloody smell. As for the bloody smell on the ground, she could just dig some soil to cover it up.
What's more, there are so many herbs around, which can at least cover up the bloody smell.
The secret guards hiding in the dark were very impressed when they saw Mo Rao's actions. They didn't expect that a peasant girl would not only not panic when encountering a wild beast, but also deal with the beast's corpse so calmly.
As for the abilities of the Twelve and others, he was also impressed. He had not expected these guards to be so powerful, not much worse than their secret guards. The assassins of Zeng Rong's palace really did have some real skills.
After Mo Rao and the others had collected their prey, they continued on their way. Because they had insect repellent kits on them, they were able to stay close to the others along the way.
When they walked to another canyon, they finally saw what Mo Rao wanted to find. She saw many good things along the way, but she didn't take any of them because she was looking for rubber trees.
Finally, her hard work paid off and she found a large area of rubber trees. There were more than a hundred of them at a glance, and each one was as thick as an adult's waist. She had never expected such a large rubber forest.
She wanted to buy this piece of land. She had already inquired about it before coming to Yu Wushan. It was ownerless, so it was easy to deal with.
Mo Rao cut a few bamboos nearby and cut them into sections. Then, she used a dagger to scratch the rubber tree, and soon sap began to flow along the marks. She placed the bamboo sections on the ground, allowing the white sap to drip onto them.
After understanding Mo Rao's approach, Twelve and others began to follow suit.
During this period, a group of wild boars appeared, but they were all dealt with by Twelve and others. A group of thirteen wild boars were all dealt with.
At night they found a cave to stay in. The cave was very deep. Mo Rao and others curiously went down with torches until they reached the bottom. The cave was pitch black, but under the light of the fire, they could see clearly what was happening below.
All I saw below was a steaming underground river with flowing water, which showed how long the underground river was under the mountain.
After smelling that pungent odor, what else is there to understand? The reason why it is hot here all year round is probably related to this underground river. The underground river here is not an ordinary hot spring.
If her idea was correct, the reason why the underground river here was boiling was probably because this place was once the site of a volcanic eruption, and after the volcanic eruption, an underground river was formed. This underground river was like a hot spring, but it was not a hot spring. Hot springs can be used for bathing, but this one is not, simply because the temperature is high and it is poisonous.
Thinking of this, Mo Rao hurriedly took Twelve and others away. Although the volcano would not erupt again, the problems left by the volcano could not be ignored. That is, the smell was poisonous, and long-term inhalation would cause damage to the body, which could not be ignored.
No wonder the temperature here is so high, the trees are green and shady, and it is not affected by winter at all.
In order to collect rubber tree sap well.
