Chapter 143: Danger in the Jungle After a night of silence, the next day, the army finished resting and began to advance towards the city of Belvedere.
"Oops!
There are snakes. ” "Be careful, there's a swamp ahead."
"Can you eat this mushroom?
Toxic, right?
” "What kind of spider is this?
Why haven't you seen it?
” "What a beautiful flower......
Peat, it turned out to be a man-eating flower. ” "It's so hanging, I almost hit this honeycomb." “……” Along the way, it can be said that there were a lot of troubles, and several times he almost lost his life, but fortunately, Li Zhen let the young army train in the jungle in advance, and let people compile the "Jungle Exploration Instructions", which avoided unnecessary casualties.
"Jungle Exploration Instructions" is a wilderness survival book compiled by Li Zhen when he was in Chang'an, inviting merchants from Nanyang to listen to and summarize their lessons and brainstorming.
Specializing in teaching people how to survive in the jungle, it has now become an official must-read popular science book of Datang Academy, not only in the Junior Army and Wentian Academy, but also in Guozijian and Hongwen Hall.
Because this book not only teaches people how to survive in the jungle, but also comes with the customs and local species and myths and legends of different places in the South Seas, it is very interesting to read and is very popular with students, and even many officials use them as pastime reading materials to relieve boredom in their leisure time.
What these students and officials don't know is that a considerable number of them have been to Nanyang to work, and it is precisely because of this book that they have learned a lot of jungle knowledge, so that they have solved a lot of troubles for them in the future, and helped them a lot.
Later, this book was regarded as a supreme classic, and later generations continued to supplement and enrich this book, constantly adding the geography of the newly conquered areas, and finally created this book into a supreme geographical classic, which became a must-read book for every student who studied geography.
This matter is a later story, so let's not say it for the time being, but now, this book has still made great contributions.
Originally, Li Zhen had a guide, but when he entered the jungle, he found that the jungle was even more terrifying than he imagined, and a dozen guides couldn't take care of the 5,000 army at all.
It was also at this time that the "Jungle Exploration Instructions" came into play, although it did not record much advanced knowledge, but some common sense questions were basically recorded.
For example, in the jungle, the brighter the object, the more dangerous it is; Don't panic after falling into the swamp, and keep your body as flat as possible; When you meet a tiger, don't turn around and run immediately, the correct way should be to stay put, make head-on contact with the tiger's eyes, stare at it, don't move away, and hold on as long as you can, so that you will die with more dignity (o(╯□╰)o)......
With this common sense, the boys' army finally entered the jungle smoothly, and no one was damaged until now, which is also a great miracle.
However, although no one died, there were many injuries, most of which were poisonous injuries - this is also a helpless thing, after all, there are not many other places in Nanyang, but there are countless poisonous insects and poisonous snakes, especially some poisonous insects especially like to get to the edge of the crowd, so the result is that often if you don't pay attention, you will be stepped on, and then break out......
In addition to poisonous insects, other animals in the jungle are also dangerous, such as leeches.
The leeches here are not like the leeches in the pond that only lurk in the water, but the leeches in the jungle live in the trees, and once someone passes by, they immediately 'crackle' down, just like rain, not only are they extremely creepy, but once they are allowed to touch the skin, it ......
Fortunately, before entering the jungle, Li Zhen asked the young army to take off their armor and replace it with lighter and close-fitting cloth armor.
Cloth armor is not as strong as armor, but it has the advantage of being lightweight and breathable, making it ideal for the humid climate of the jungle - at least if you fall into a swamp, it won't take you straight down like armor.
There will also be no sound between walks, which is more suitable for jungle ambushes.
And because the cloth armor is close to the body, there are ties on the cuffs and trousers, and even a hood on the head, so dressed up, at least ninety percent of the leeches can be prevented from touching the skin, as for the remaining one percent - that is also a helpless thing, can only be said to be unlucky.
It's okay to say that even if the leech is sucked blood, as long as it is burned with fire, it will naturally fall off.
The problem is that there is an unknown small black worm, almost pounce on people, and there are a huge number of them, as long as they are pounced, they are waiting to be stung, and they will be swollen when they are stung, although there is no other toxic damage, but they suffer a lot, and the whole face is swollen (please refer to the pig's head here).
To deal with small black insects, flames are naturally okay, but the problem is that sometimes dozens of them can crawl on the body......
How to burn?
I'm afraid that before the black worm burns out, the person will be burned first.
Fortunately, a doctor soon discovered a kind of grass, and the little black worm hated the juice of this grass very much, as long as the juice was applied to the bare parts, it could naturally expel the little black worm.
The problem of the little black worm was solved, and then the snake swarm......
I finally killed the snake colony, and I encountered man-eating ants again......
Bypassed the man-eating ants and crashed into the swamp again......
The swamp passed, and the miasma was met again...... …… In short, there were a lot of troubles on the road, originally they were only thirty miles away from Rili, but in these thirty miles, Li Zhen walked for three days.
Three days later.
"Wow!"
"Oh my God, I've finally met someone."
"I almost went crazy."
"This is Rili, isn't it?"
"It's the first time I've felt that Linyi is so prosperous in China."
"I can't help myself with excitement."
"Tears flowed down my face."
"Thanksgiving." “……” Li Zhen was also very excited, they didn't meet small Linyi villages and tribes along the way, but those tribes only had a few hundred people at most, which was not enough for thousands of troops to rest.

Excited, Li Zhen stood on a stone and shouted downward, "Brothers, do you see that city in front?"
That is the culprit who destroyed our homeland and slaughtered our people, the city founded by the people of Linyi, and it is also the largest city in the north of Linyi.
This king said before that Lin Yi is our mortal enemy, and after this king enters Lin Yi, he will not seal the sword for three months......"
"Kill~."
"Kill~" "Kill~" "Kill~" "Kill~" “……” Li Zhen expressed his satisfaction with the surging ultramarines below, and he instilled many things in this youth army, but he did not instill benevolence - because in the colonial war of aggression, benevolence and righteousness were not needed.
So don't look at the young army in front of you is still very immature, but under these immature appearances, what is hidden is actually the heart of a wild wolf, but this heart needs to be stimulated by war, and now this opportunity has come.
