Chapter 43: Bamboo Shoots and Bamboo Fungus

 

The forest is dense. At that time, it was around two o'clock in the afternoon, but the sun could only shine through the gaps between the leaves.

Under the leadership of Tang Qiaoqiao, who is swinging a machete to cut through the thorns they passed, Wei Yiqi and Xu Yuyi followed behind her easily, unimpeded all the way.

Xu Yuyi touched behind his head, then turned around and whispered to Wei Yiqi behind him, "I think this is very bad. We are two big men, but we let a woman open the way. It's not what a gentleman should do."

Wei Yiqi took a long branch, looked at Tang Qiaoqiao's energetic back, and smiled, "If you can do better than her, believe me, she will immediately return the machete to you and let you clear the way."

Tang Qiaoqiao actually didn't want to show her strength at all, even though her cute and charming personality profile had collapsed. But if it's time for her to work hard, she won't take a step back.

Xu Yuyi watched Tang Qiaoqiao's strength with every slash and stopped talking. He suspected himself for the first time. Was he not even as good as a woman?

Tang Qiaoqiao cut more vigorously, after splitting the last bit of vines, the path in front of them finally opened up. They finally entered a relatively flat area. For the time being, no vines or dead branches were blocking the way.

【Master Xu's self-confidence and his young man's heart was hit for the first time】

【Master Xu doesn't need to be inferior. After all, King Kong Barbie Qiao's strength is not comparable to that of ordinary people】

【I feel like a king with two bronze hiahiahia...】

[T/N: This is a gaming reference. King rank would be the top rank or someone with the greatest skill, and next would be gold rank, silver rank and bronze rank would be the noobs.]

【Your mom. They walk here so unobstructed. Look at the other group, and you will know what bronze is.】

At this time, Wang Xing'er, Guo Bao, and Zhang Yang also face the dilemma of wild vegetation blocking their way. As an Olympic champion, Zhang Yang took a dagger and volunteered to step forward. It's just that this is not a sports competition after all. Nature is so unreasonable that Zhang Yang was so exhausted before opening the road for half a meter.

When Guo Bao saw this, he said, "I can't let you do it alone. We will all take turns."

Wang Xing'er was dumbfounded. Although she didn't speak, her expression revealed, 'You want me to go too?'

Zhang Yang saw Wang Xing'er's soft and weak appearance. He took a deep breath and said, "Just let her go. We are men. Let's do more."

Guo Bao smiled, but he spoke very ruthlessly, "It's better to take turns. We have to conserve our strength. After all, there is still a long way to go."

Wang Xing'er looked reluctant. She held the insect repellent in her hand, watching the dense leaves very vigilantly for fear that some poisonous insects would suddenly fly out to them.

Guo Bao was fair. After cutting for a while, he immediately passed the dagger to Wang Xing'er.

Wang Xing'er held the dagger and didn't know how to start. Zhang Yang couldn't see it and gave her a little guidance.

Finally, she stretched her forearm and carefully swung the dagger twice, only to cut off two leaves.

【My God, Wang Xing'er. Are you holding a dagger or chopsticks?】

【Is the vine poisonous? Standing so far with arms stretched so long, your wrists are definitely not working well. It's weird if she can cut them.】

 

Afterward, Wang Xing'er cut a dozen times, but the vines were barely moved. The back of her hand was cut, and her tears flew out immediately.

Wang Xing'er's tears looked like pear blossom rain. "I'm sorry, I'm so useless."

Zhang Yang couldn't bear it. "You go back. I will do it."

Guo Bao didn't say anything but frowned.

Although they managed to walk through the vines and thorns for the time being, it does not mean that the next road is easy to go. The forest is full of dangers, and many people only look at the flat roads. In fact, under the piles of rotten leaves may be a man-eating swamp. People must be extra careful.

Tang Qiaoqiao's group cautiously bypassed a small swamp, and at this time, they had been in the forest for more than two hours.

Although tall and dense trees block most of the hot sunlight, it still feels very stuffy because of the dense foliage and poor air circulation.

Xu Yuyi's sweat has wetted the clothes on his back. When did he ever suffer from this problem? He really shouldn't bet with that group of friends on a wilderness survival show. He hit his face swollen to fill up a fat man. He could have gone to London or Paris to watch a fashion week. Isn't it great to take pictures of foreign streets?

[T/N: Hit a face swollen to fill a fat man is a Chinese idiom for someone who would rather pay the price and act as a great man to save face and do something they can't do.]

But looking at the woman, Tang Qiaoqiao, and Wei Yiqi, a kid who is less than 20 years old. Neither of them said the word "tired." He couldn't flinch in any way, so he could only scold the program group a few lines.

"The program team is not a human being. We are not even allowed to bring water."

He whispered, "Should we find water first? Otherwise, we will die of thirst if we can't find a supply point. I don't know if the director has put any water at the supply point."

Wei Yiqi's face was flushed with heat. He pursed his dry lips and said, "Sister Qiaoqiao, what shall we do next?" Whatever Qiaoqiao said, he would do it.

Tang Qiaoqiao stopped and looked ahead. It happened that they just arrived at a fork on the road.

Xu Yuyi leaned forward. " Which way shall we go?"

Tang Qiaoqiao carefully observed the surrounding environment and then closed her eyes.

Nature is a natural storage place for spiritual aura. Modern society has destroyed the natural environment, which has also destroyed this aura. However, in this forest that has not been affected by too many human activities, Tang Qiaoqiao can feel the natural energy fluctuations.

She opened her eyes and pointed her slender finger to the right.

"Let's go over there."

"Why? It doesn't seem to be any different from the left?" Xu Yuyi asked in confusion. The direction on the right looked a little darker.

Wei Yiqi: "Sister Qiaoqiao must be right."

Xu Yuyi glanced at him speechlessly. This little kid is like a follower of Tang Qiaoqiao.

Tang Qiaoqiao smiled confidently. "Because I can smell the scent of water."

Xu Yuyi: "Really?"

Although he was doubtful, he still obediently followed Tang Qiaoqiao and Wei Yiqi.

As they walked, they did not see any stream of water but instead saw a large wild bamboo forest. The bamboo forest grows very luxuriantly, and the leaves are verdant. They can't see the end of the towering bamboo trees. The rows of bamboo are forming a quiet bamboo corridor.
