On the first night of her marriage, she was hospitalized

Chapter 428 Has it become a spirit?
With a shout from Xu Hui, Jiang Tang immediately crouched down, covering her head.

The next second, the sound of a bullet slicing through the air flew past her head, followed by a loud crack. The ferocious creature's life was ended by a single bullet.

The sniper bullet pierced its head accurately and exited from the other side.

There was a hole about the size of a bowl where the bullet exited.

Brain matter splattered out.

The strange, unrecognizable creature collapsed completely.

The lake water was already churning with surging waves, and Jiang Tang quickly took several steps back to avoid getting her shoes wet by the splashing water.

"Comrade Xiao Jiang, are you alright?"

Xu Hui came to her side, his voice tinged with worry.

Jiang Tang shook her head.

"I am fine."

Her gaze fell on the gun Xu Hui was carrying.

Guns are definitely more powerful.

The crossbow on her wrist is very powerful in comic books because there were no guns in ancient times. Now that we have guns, firearms are still more powerful...

Xu Hui thought Jiang Tang was frightened.

So he calmed his own heart, which was pounding with fear, and comforted Jiang Tang, telling her not to be afraid.

What he didn't know was that Jiang Tang wasn't scared at all.

Not only were they not intimidated, they were also evaluating the advantages and disadvantages of guns and crossbows...

"Jiang Tang, are you alright?"

Deng Ping emerged from behind a large tree and called out to Jiang Tang from a distance.

Jiang Tang snapped out of her daze. "It's nothing."

"Let's go back and have roast whole lamb."

As she spoke, she lifted her foot and walked towards the place where the goat had been thrown.

The lakeside, where many small animals used to drink water, was terrified by the sudden fight and scattered in all directions.

But that doesn't mean they won't get close.

Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Tang and the others left, the animals that had scattered and hadn't had enough water gathered together again to drink.

However, by this time, the threat in the lake was gone, so even if they drank to their hearts' content, from night to day, there would be no danger threatening them anymore.

On the way back to the cave.

The wild goat landed on Xu Hui's shoulder.

Jiang Tang and Deng Ping walked ahead.

Deng Ping and Xu Hui asked Jiang Tang what exactly that thing was.
How could such strange things exist in the mountains?

Jiang Tang shook her head.

"I don't know him either."

As for why such a thing exists? It's very simple. Everyone knows that no one has set foot in this forest for hundreds or even thousands of years, right?

In this primeval forest, let alone the appearance of a monster that looks like a snake and a lizard, even the appearance of a talking bear wouldn't be too surprising.

"Remember, we are in a forest that no one has ever set foot in before."

Whether they can leave this forest safely depends on how much respect they have for it!

Xu Hui was alright, after all, he had gone on a mission with Jiang Tang once and had seen tigers, snakes, and black bears in the mountains.

Therefore, he quickly adjusted his mindset.

Seeing that the cave was so close, they hurried forward, carrying the wild goat to prepare dinner.

Deng Ping lagged behind by a few steps.

She pulled Jiang Tang aside and led her to a nearby grove of trees where they spoke in hushed tones.

"We've only been here for two days, and we've only walked a few dozen kilometers, and we've already encountered this kind of thing."

"Do you think if we go further inside, the environment will resemble the place we used to live in?"

It is a forest where everything possesses sentience.

Jiang Tang glanced at Deng Ping, wondering what she was trying to say.
Deng Ping...

Sometimes she really wanted to crack open Jiang Tang's head and see how her brain, which was sometimes smart and sometimes a fool, was structured.

"If we really get to a place where everything has sentience, won't our identities be exposed?" Deng Ping lowered her voice even further.

Even with Jiang Tang right next to her, she had to listen carefully to hear what she was saying.

It seems she's genuinely worried about others overhearing this.

Jiang Tang understood Deng Ping's concerns.

After all, it's forbidden for beings to become spirits after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

If the fact that the two of them are ginseng and rabbit reincarnations is really exposed, it will probably cause some minor trouble.

But then again, if there really is such a possibility, wouldn't it be better if they just didn't admit it?
"Aren't you human now?"

Jiang Tang countered with a question.

Deng Ping paused for a moment, then said, "Of course it's people."

"That's fine."

If Deng Ping's hypothetical scenario were to actually happen, then they could simply deny it outright.

"Okay, let's go back. I'm so hungry. I don't know if it's because I exercised too much?"

Jiang Tang rubbed her stomach and strode towards the cave.

Deng Ping glanced at her back, then at the dark forest behind her and the distant lake, and quickly followed after her.

"You wait for me."

.........

A whole roasted lamb was shared among the nine members.

Jiang Tang deserves a share of a lamb leg for his hard work and great contributions.

The same goes for Deng Ping.

The remaining portion was what the other seven people shared.

The roasted goat wasn't seasoned much, just simply rubbed with salt, but perhaps because everyone is craving meat these days, it tasted especially delicious.

They shared the goat and ate it all, even gnawing the bones clean.

After eating and drinking my fill, I finally felt alive again.

After regaining their caution, they quickly disposed of the sheep bones, digging holes to bury them in the ground.

After they had settled in, the group sat around the fire, looking at the map and studying their route for tomorrow, as well as their destination.

Before setting off each day, I would study the route for the next day repeatedly the day before and prepare several different plans.

To prevent any unexpected events from occurring when setting off.

Xu Hui took a pen and made marks on the map.

The others around the campfire asked Deng Ping what that thing in the lake was at dusk.
They also saw something sticking its head out from the cave, but they were too busy tending to the goats to ask.

Since there was still a little while before the break, I asked Deng Ping for some information.

Deng Ping didn't know either.

"A lizard that has become a spirit."

Jiang Tang's voice interrupted from the side.

The people who asked the questions were startled.

"Became a spirit?"

"Can't this be done?"

"It's 1982 now, it's too unbelievable to say that it has become a spirit."

Soldiers are naturally staunch atheists; they don't believe in the idea of ​​spirits becoming beings.

Jiang Tang raised an eyebrow, her gaze falling on them. "Why not?"

"1982 is a year that we humans follow, but it is not a year that nature, or all things in the mountains, follow."

No matter how things change outside, in this secluded mountain, all things in nature still live according to their own laws.

Things that live long enough either die of old age or become sentient. It's such a simple principle.

It simply means that they learned more and more comprehensive knowledge outside, and can explain the principles clearly with scientific explanations no matter what situation they encounter.

Just as everyone was about to say something, they suddenly felt a foul-smelling wind sweeping in from outside.
