On the first night of her marriage, she was hospitalized

Chapter 431 I'm on the verge of being driven mad every day
how come?
Jiang Tang stared at the dissipating and then gathering white mist, lost in thought.

"Jiang Tang?"

"Comrade Jiang."

The voices of Deng Ping and Xu Hui could be heard coming from inside the cave, and they came out just in time.

Seeing Jiang Tang standing there lost in thought, everyone was puzzled, wondering what was wrong with her.

"What are you looking at?"

Deng Ping walked up to Jiang Tang and asked her in confusion.

"What happened? Did you miss?"

Deng Ping teased Jiang Tang, saying that even if she missed, she didn't need to put on such a serious expression, since they wouldn't laugh at her anyway.

Jiang Tang withdrew her gaze from the white mist and looked at Deng Ping beside her.

That look left Deng Ping somewhat bewildered.

"what happened?"

"It's so mysterious and a little scary."

"I saw."

Jiang Tang said something out of the blue.

Deng Ping's first reaction was that Jiang Tang had seen the lizard.

"Really? Where? Did you hit it?"

Jiang Tang lowered her eyes and glanced at Deng Ping with indifferent eyes.

To Deng Ping, that look actually carried a hint of contempt.
No, even a little fool can despise himself now?
It’s against Tiangang!

"What does that look mean?"

"Can't you understand this either?" Jiang Tang asked seriously. "It means you're a bit slow."

Deng Ping...

Deng Ping was furious!

Seeing the two bickering, Xu Hui couldn't help but lower his eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips, but he didn't dare to actually laugh.

I'm a little afraid that I might also become the target of Comrade Xiao Jiang's criticism.

After the two of them fell silent, Xu Hui asked Jiang Tang, "Where is the giant lizard?"

"died."

Jiang Tang spoke up.

She raised her hand and pointed in the direction the giant lizard had flown away.

Just then, the thick fog began to dissipate.

Xu Hui looked in that direction.

I didn't see the giant lizard's carcass.

He was a little puzzled, so he went over to take a look.

But he had searched the entire forest and, apart from some bloodstains, he hadn't found the giant lizard's carcass!

"Did it escape after being injured?"

Xu Hui looked at the broken tree branch beside him, unable to understand.

Jiang Tang also walked over. Seeing the bloodstains and the broken tree branch beside her, she pursed her lips slightly and looked up at the distant mountains and forests.

Nothing was said.

But my heart wasn't so calm.

The rain in the mountains didn't stop until noon.

After the team members ate breakfast and waited for the rain to stop and the mountain wind to blow for a while, drying the rainwater in the forest, the team members set off.

Jiang Tang continued to lead the way, and they were all wearing military raincoats to prevent their clothes from getting wet in the forest.

Moreover, in such large and numerous mountains with many mosquitoes, wearing a raincoat can also prevent mosquito bites.

The deeper you go into the mountains, the slower you travel.

The road ahead was not as easy to travel as the one outside the forest.

In the dense primeval forest, vines thicker than a person's thigh stretched across the path, twining haphazardly between the trees, without any discernible order.

It would take quite a bit of time to get through the middle.

After slowing down, Jiang Tang finally saw the Antiaris toxicaria tree she wanted in the dense forest.

We've already walked quite a distance.

She told the team members to rest for a bit, while she opened her backpack, took out a small bottle, opened the cap, and took out a dagger to cut the bark.

The Antiaris toxicaria tree, also known as the upas tree, has highly poisonous sap. However, it is safe to touch it unless you have a wound on your hand.

If you have any wounds on your hands, this sap will kill you.

This is a toxin that can quickly paralyze the heart and cause blood to clot. Its toxicity, in the same dose, is four times that of the king cobra and four hundred times that of arsenic.

Such a poisonous substance was perfect for the crossbow bolt that Jiang Tang had made herself. She took a dagger, cut off the bark, and then placed the bottle opening against it to collect the overflowing sap.

"Do you want my help?"

Deng Ping asked.

Jiang Tang shook her head, "No need."

She quickly returned with about half a bottle of tree sap.

Xu Hui and the others were curious, wondering what she was going to do with the tree sap.

Jiang Tang took out a crossbow bolt, and dipped the tip of the bolt in tree sap.

"This is poison."

She explained as she worked.

Xu Hui and his group had only heard of the saying "one blood, one throat" (a Chinese idiom meaning something that can kill someone by drawing blood), but had never actually seen it.

I only truly witnessed it today.

I didn't expect it to look so ordinary and unremarkable.

"Unremarkable?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tang looked up in surprise, her eyes filled with doubt.

The next second, she raised her hand and pressed the switch on the crossbow with her other hand.

An arrow coated with tree sap was launched with a whoosh.

It accurately hit a snake that was crawling down a tree trunk not far away, and the snake was the same color as the tree bark.

After being hit by the arrow, the snake barely struggled before its ends drooped limply onto the tree trunk.

The team members...

Deng Ping couldn't help but shrink back when she saw the snake.

Why didn't you warn me when there were snakes nearby?

"remind?"

Jiang Tang put the things away and looked at Deng Ping with a puzzled expression, "Do we have to give a warning every time a snake appears?"

"There are so many snakes around there, at least eight, um, no, nine, ten, twelve, I guess!"

"What did you say?"

Deng Ping jumped up instinctively, "Twelve? Twelve snakes?"

"Right around here?"

She looked around warily, eager to see where the snake was hiding.

They didn't even tell us beforehand, that's too much, really too much.

Don't you know that rabbits are most afraid of snakes?

To be honest, Jiang Tang really didn't know.

Anyway, when she was ginseng, snakes didn't eat her.

Therefore, she has no feelings towards snakes.

Not only Deng Ping, but the other team members also looked around warily because of Jiang Tang's words.

They did not react as violently as Deng Ping.

However, she was not as calm as Jiang Tang.

Being bitten by a snake is very painful. If you're unlucky enough to encounter a venomous snake, you could lose your life after being bitten.

Still can't be careless.

Upon learning that there were so many snakes nearby, Deng Ping stomped her feet, urging Jiang Tang to hurry up and get ready to leave.

Get out of here quickly.

Jiang Tang slowly coated all her crossbow bolts with poison before covering the remaining ones tightly and putting them into the large backpack on her back.

I shouldered my backpack and continued walking.

According to the map, it would take them half a month to reach the heart of this primeval forest.

Jiang Tang and her group traveled along the way, stopping and starting frequently.

They had to detour around sheer cliffs and precipices, detour around rushing rivers, and even avoid some dense primeval forests that were as dark as night.

In addition to these geographical difficulties, there are many external dangers.

The deeper you go into the forest, the more ferocious beasts you encounter.

Aside from targeting wild beasts that the other party is determined to kill, they generally avoid encountering them if possible.

In Jiang Tang's words, we can't kill them all.

And so, they arrived at the mission location on the sixteenth day, a day later than scheduled.

Located amidst towering mountains, on a raised flat area, lies a place known as the "aircraft graveyard."
