Chapter 714 Devil River
During the communication with Awanda, Fang Yi learned some things. It turned out that in addition to finding Peng Bin himself, there were other people searching for Peng Bin's whereabouts in the mountains. Moreover, these people had already found the Miao village one day before Fang Yi found it.
What shocked Awangchai was that in addition to the military people, there were also some extremely powerful surrenders. He saw the old wizards in the clan who came to find Peng Bin with his own eyes, and was very respectful to the visitors and took out the best wine and dishes in the village.
Fortunately, these people didn't know about Awangchai's relationship with Peng Bin, so they just searched the village and the neighborhood and left. However, what Awangchai didn't expect was that Fang Yi, who was brought to the Miao village by him, actually came to find Peng Bin, and seemed to know that he knew Peng Bin.
Awang, who had been favored by Peng Bin, felt that he had been exposed, and then he felt murderous intent in his heart. He asked his wife to ambush the house, preparing to use the medicine he got from the wizard to faint Fang Yi, and then kill Fang Yi to silence him.
But what happened next made Awang Guy believe Fang Yi's words and find Peng Bin with a token. He learned from Peng Bin that Fang Yi was not an enemy, but his Mandarin was too bad. There were only a few simple things. Awang Guy said to Fang Yi for almost an hour.
"Awang guess, can you take me to find Peng Bin now?"
After seeing the fatigue on Awangchai's face faded a lot, Fang Yi asked. After learning from Awangchai that the person who was chasing Peng Bin had arrived in this mountain, Fang Yi was also a little anxious.
"Go now?"
Hearing Fang Yi's words, Awang's face showed a hesitant look. After a while, he said with his hands in his arms: "The place where Peng hid is very far away from here. The night on the mountain is very dangerous, and he has to pass through the Laka River, which is even more dangerous..."
"Where is the Laka River?" Fang Yi naturally didn't need Awang to say much about the dangers of the primeval forest at night, but Fang Yi didn't understand the Laka River that Awang Guai said.
"Laka, devil..."
Awangchai tried hard to communicate with Fang Yi in Chinese that he knew very little. It turned out that in Thai, Laka means devil, and that river was called the Devil River by these Miao people in the mountains.
"Awang Guess, Peng is very dangerous. I want to see him as soon as possible!" Fang Yi once again expressed his attitude. After hearing Fang Yi's words, Awang Guess's face kept changing. Obviously, going out at night was also a great challenge for him.
"Okay, I...I'll take you there!" After hesitating for a while, Awangchai finally made up his mind. After saying a few words to his wife next to him, he opened the wooden cabinet at the corner of the house and took out a few bottles and jars from it.
In front of his wife and Fang Yi, Awangchai took off all his clothes, and then carefully applied the powder from a bottle everywhere on his body. Even he sprinkled a layer of powder on his hair. After doing this, Awangchai took out a new set of clothes and put it on his body.
"This, apply it on your body..." Awangchai handed the bottle to Fang Yi and made a gesture to let Fang Yi do what he had just done.
"I don't need to apply all over my body, just apply it on my hands and feet..."
Fang Yi took the bottle, but a little powder came out from it, and then handed it back to Awangchai.
"She, uncle, made it very useful..."
Awang Guai pointed to his wife and handed the bottle to Fang Yi. It turned out that Awang Guai's wife's uncle was the only wizard in this Miao village, so Awang Guai had so many Miao medicines in his hand, including the previous * medicines, which were also given to him by Awang Guai's wife's uncle.
"It's okay, I'm not afraid of snakes and insects, so I don't need these..."
Fang Yi waved his hand and did not accept the bottle handed over by Awangchai. He could close the pores of his body when he was walking in the forest. As a result, the snakes and insects had no way to distinguish Fang Yi's breath, and these snake-driven powders did not have much effect on him.
"Okay, then be careful!"
Fang Yi had been on the way to collect herbs on the way to come before. At that time, Awang guessed that he had seen snakes and insects in the forest avoid Fang Yi with his own eyes. He knew that this young man was different from an ordinary person and didn't say much at the moment.
Fang Yi didn't take it seriously at night when he was traveling through the dense forest, but Awang guessed that he didn't dare to be careless at all. In addition to applying medicinal medicine, he also wore a little like animal skin, and pierced his wrists and ankles into the mouth. Finally, he took a machete more than one meter long from behind the door, and then he and Fang Yi went out of the door.
"Wait!" After reaching the foot of the mountain, Fang Yi stopped and whistled out. After about two or three minutes, the little devil rushed down from a big tree and landed on Fang Yi's shoulder.
"Stop running around, let's go find the eldest brother..." Fang Yi rubbed the little devil's hair and found that there was still a little water stain on it, but the blood that had dried up on his body was washed away by it.
"Squeak..."
The little devil grabbed Fang Yi's hair with his claws and started to hum in dissatisfaction. He just found a female squirrel in the forest. The little devil was planning to do something shameful, but he was shouted back by Fang Yi's whistle.
"You... are you a holy... holy beast?" Seeing the interaction between the little devil and Fang Yi, Awangchai's expression was a little dull. When the little devil rushed out of Fang Yi's backpack before entering the mountain, Awangchai did not see it.
"Holy Beast? What is a Holy Beast?" Fang Yi was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He raised the little devil since he was a child. If you want to say that the cruel and naughty little devil is definitely a good player, but he is definitely not close to the word "saint".
"Holy...Holy beasts are holy beasts that understand human nature..." Awang guessed that he didn't know how to explain, but after seeing a stone totem on the roadside, he kept pointing at the totem with his fingers, which made Fang Yi understand.
"It's not a holy beast, it's just human nature. Don't talk about this little guy, let's go quickly..."
Fang Yi smiled and shook his head. It turned out that the Miao people had always regarded the totems they offered as holy beasts. Perhaps thousands of years ago, there were animals in the Miao village that could understand human nature like the little devil.
"Holy beast, it must be a holy beast..."
Awang guessed that he turned around and led the way in front, but his head would turn back from time to time to look at the little devil. To be honest, the little devil's golden hair and agile eyes were indeed different from ordinary animals.
After all, he is a person living in the mountains. Awangchai walks very quickly on the mountain road, and most of his walking is on the ground with his toes. This makes his movements very light, and even if he steps on some dead branches and leaves, he will not make a loud noise.
But what shocked Awangchai was that he could not hear the sound of Fang Yi walking behind him. If he hadn't seen Fang Yi suddenly after looking back several times, Awangchai would have thought that there was no one behind him.
After walking about two kilometers along the foot of the Miao Village, Awangchai took Fang Yi to a mountain with lush woods. There was no road here. Awangchai was moving forward entirely by his familiarity with the terrain, and the machete came in handy. Awangchai would use it from time to time to chop off some vines blocking the way.
"You point the direction, I'll lead the way..."
As he went deeper into the forest, the speed of travel became slower and slower. The main reason was that the vines growing between the trunks were too troublesome and kept blocking the two of them from moving forward. This made Fang Yi, who was following Awangchai, feel a little impatient. Before Awangchai could answer, Fang Yi snatched the machete.
The machete weighing more than 20 kilograms and needed Awanda to hold both hands was light in Fang Yi's hands. Where the sword light flashed, vines as thick as fingers were cut off from it, and some blood would fly from time to time. It was a poisonous snake that wanted to take advantage of the situation, and was also cut off by Fang Yi's blade.
"This...is this the legendary war witch?"
Seeing Fang Yi constantly swinging his sword, Awang Guai, who was following Fang Yi, was stunned. Although Awang Guai was thin, he was a famous strongman in the Miao village. Even if he held a knife in both hands, he would never be able to take the weight like Fang Yi.
As for the war witch that Awangchai thought in his heart, it originated from the legend of wizards in the village. When the legend was created, great witches were rampant in the world. Among them, there were not only medical witches who saved the suffering of the people, but also war witches who could fight against the evil dragons, tigers and leopards.
However, with the severance of inheritance, the war witches have long disappeared in the world. Even the descendants of the so-called medical witches believe that the war witches only exist in legends, perhaps just fabricated by their ancestors.
Fang Yi naturally didn't know that Awangchai behind him was thinking randomly. He just wanted to get to Peng Bin's side as soon as possible, so he was very fast and went off the road several times. He stopped after Awangchai called him to stop.
However, Fang Yi's way was opened to make them move faster. They crossed two mountains in a row. After more than two hours, the two arrived at a gentle canyon. In front of them, there was a river seven or eight meters wide.
I don’t know how long this river is. The roots of many big trees grow inside the river. Fang Yi and Awang’s arrival alarmed some monkeys on the tree and screamed with warnings. The originally quiet forest became a little noisy.
"This is Laka River, right?"
Standing four or five meters away by the river, Fang Yi looked at Awangchai beside him. He could feel the murderous intent hidden in the river, but Fang Yi was also a little confused, because after he released his spiritual sense, he did not find any cruel creatures like giant crocodiles in the river.
"Yes, this is Lakahe..."
Awangchai nodded, looking at the dark river water's eyes full of horror. After a while, he moved his eyes away and pointed to the left and said, "There is a small bridge built with a big tree. We must cross the river from there. Remember, don't get involved in the river..."
As he communicated with Fang Yi along the way, Awang's Mandarin skills also improved a lot, and he expressed his meaning clearly with his words and gestures. However, when Fang Yi asked him what the devil in the river was, Awang's father couldn't explain it clearly.
However, this answer was not confusing Fang Yi for too long, because when they were walking upstream, Fang Yi saw a mountain deer on the river more than fifty meters away from him. Perhaps because of the low water level, the mountain deer stepped into the river.
Just as the mountain deer finished drinking the water and was about to leave, Fang Yi suddenly found that the river water was churning. The mountain deer had several fish with index fingers on his mouth, and the fish's serrated teeth were biting the mountain deer's mouth tightly.
At the same time, Shan Lu's body also fell heavily to the water surface. Fang Yi, who had extraordinary eyesight, clearly saw that the lifted forelimbs of the Shan Lu were also covered with dense fish, and their serrated teeth had already gnawed the forelimbs of the Shan Lu's bones.
When the mountain deer could no longer support its body, the water surface rolled more and more powerful, and countless fish flocked to it. Although each fish was not big, their sharp teeth could tear off a trace of flesh from the mountain deer.
In just a few minutes, when Fang Yi and Awangchai came to the place where the mountain deer fell into the water, they could only see the bones of the mountain deer rising and falling in the water. In this moment, a hundred kilograms of mountain deer was eaten completely by the fish in the water.
He casually broke down a branch on the shore, and Fang Yi pulled and lifted it into the river. A fish was already caught by Fang Yi. Although the fish was not big, its serrated mouth occupied half of its body, and it looked extremely ferocious.
After being caught by Fang Yi, the fish was not dead yet. It was biting Fang Yi's fingers with its jagged teeth. The force made Fang Yi feel a hint of pain. If he had only bitten it together, even Fang Yi would have to escape.
"Pizza..."
Seeing this situation, Fang Yi's face couldn't help but turn a little pale. He once read a World Geographic magazine published in the United States from Zhao Hongtao, which described the piranha growing in the Amazon River in detail. However, Fang Yi did not expect that there was such a creature in the rivers in Thailand.
"Luck, Lack, Lack..."
Awangchai, who was standing beside Fang Yi, acted even more unbearable. He knelt down and kept kowtowing at the river bank, and kept muttering the word "laka".
According to the rules of the Miao people, when passing through the Devil River, sacrifices were always given, but Awang guessed that the trip was in a hurry and he did not throw sacrifices into the river at all. So, in Awang guessed that the death of this mountain deer was the warning from the Devil River to him—
