Chapter 9 Dilemma

Quick, hurry forward." Chu Biqiu shouted, "There is a pond ahead."

The speed of the poisonous mist was so fast that it rushed behind everyone. Lan Xiaoman, who was running at the end, first felt the fear of death. One of his hands was touched by the poisonous mist and immediately started to tremble.

Blisters and a burst of heartbreaking pain almost made him fall to the ground.

"Ah." Yu Wanqing fell to the ground, was entangled in the poisonous mist, and let out a miserable scream. Lan Xiaoman couldn't care less, stepped forward to help her up, and ran forward.

When I got there, I saw that it was a small pond. The water was still turbid. It seemed that it was a place where animals usually drink water.

Lan Xiaoman didn't care whether it was dirty or not, and dragged Yu Wanqing into the water.

Lan Xiaoman looked at Yu Wanqing's swollen face, like a monster, and it was extremely scary. But he still pushed her into the water...

When Lan Xiaoman raised his head out of the water again, he saw that the poisonous mist had passed. Looking at Yu Wanqing again, he couldn't believe his eyes: Yu Wanqing's skin in front of him had returned to its previous appearance. Just now

No scars can be seen in the places that were damaged by the poisonous mist.

"It's amazing." Lan Xiaoman shouted.

"What's wrong?" Yu Wanqing also woke up at this time and asked.

"Sister Yu, look, your injuries are all healed."

Yu Wanqing looked at her arm in surprise. The skin was riddled with holes just now, but now there were no scars at all.

"Look, the poisonous mist has stopped." But what came out of his throat was a terrible purring sound. Slowly, his voice gradually became clearer. Xiao Feiyan and Yu Wanqing turned around and looked at the poisonous mist.

The fog. The poisonous fog was rising upwards, like evaporated water and air. Everyone watched it evaporate little by little until the last wisp disappeared completely.

Lan Xiaoman took off his shirt, and his shoes and underwear seemed not to be damaged at all. Little by little, he stretched his arm into the water, letting the venom slowly filter out of the wound. Xiao Feiyan and Yu Wanqing also

While doing this, the magnolia retreated when it first touched the water and lay face down on the sand. It may be that it was unwilling or unable to soak itself in the water to wash away the toxins.

Chu Biqiu went over to help her clean out the toxins.

Finally, Lan Xiaoman washed the most painful wound, opened his eyes underwater, soaked some water in his nostrils, then sprayed it out, and even gargled repeatedly to flush out the toxins from his throat.

Lan Xiaoman's pain was reduced by most, and he went to help Mulianhua.

"Xiaoman, where are Huzi and Shuang'er?" Yu Wanqing asked suddenly.

"Didn't they leave first?" Lan Xiaoman replied.

"It's because we didn't follow them and we took the wrong route," Chu Biqiu said.

"I hope they can escape this disaster." Yu Wanqing said.

Lan Xiaoman's legs gradually gained feeling, but his arms still hurt a little.

Chu Biqiu couldn't pull Mulianhua into the water, and letting her wounds continue to fester might kill her. So Lan Xiaoman went over to pick up water and sprinkle it on her fist. Because she was not in the water, so

The poisonous mist that invaded her body slowly floated out again, also in clouds of mist.

Lan Xiaoman had experienced the power of the poisonous mist and did not dare to let it get close to him again.

Xiao Feiyan also recovered somewhat. When she saw that Yu Wanqing's condition was much better, she came over to help.

"Lan Xiaoman, get out of the way! Men and women are not allowed to kiss each other. We have to help Lotus wipe her body." Xiao Feiyan wanted to chase Lan Xiaoman away as soon as she came over, but Lan Xiaoman didn't care and walked aside to watch.

She tore open Magnolia's clothes and found two smooth pebbles by the pond. These things were much easier to use than human hands.

They first soaked Magnolia's arm with water, which was the most severely injured. A large cloud of mist came out of her skin, but she didn't feel it. Magnolia lay there quietly, her eyes closed tightly, and she only made a few sounds occasionally.

**.

Lan Xiaoman next to him was not relaxed either. He looked around and felt more and more strongly how dangerous the place they were in was.

It was night, yes, but the moonlight was too bright and would give away their position.

However, fortunately, they have not been attacked yet. If the enemy attacks from a bright direction, they can also see it.

But if Asura, their power will be better than Lan Xiaoman and others. Even if they don't see Lan Xiaoman first, Mulianhua's injury is enough to attract them.

"We have to drag him into the water." Chu Biqiu said softly, "but we can't put her face in the water first."

The two of them, one at a time, lifted her, dropped her 180 degrees, and then dragged her into the water, only one foot at a time.

"First put your ankles in the water, wait a few minutes, then your calves, and then wait a few more minutes until the water reaches your knees." Yu Wanqing directed from the side.

Balls of poisonous mist evaporated from her body.

The two continued to detoxify her, and little by little, Chu Biqiu found that the longer the injured stayed in the water, the better she felt. Not only the skin, but also the condition of the brain and muscles were improving. She saw the magnolia flower

My face is returning to normal, my eyes are slowly opening, and my closed mouth is slowly getting better.

The four of them are also slowly recovering.

Mulianhua opened her eyes, saw the sisters, and understood what happened.

Xiao Feiyan put her head on her knees, immersing her neck in the water for about ten minutes. When Mulianhua raised her arms and exposed them to the water, the eyes of Yu Wanqing and others appeared.

He showed a knowing smile.

"Lotus, your face is all that's left now. This is the most uncomfortable part, but if you can bear it, you will feel very good afterwards." Chu Biqiu said.

She and Xiao Feiyan made Mulianhua sit up, grabbed her hands, and immersed her eyes, nose, and mouth in water. Her throat was still swollen and she could not speak.

"Lan Xiaoman, get some water from the tree." Xiao Feiyan shouted, took out the cannula tied to her belt and threw it to him.

"Let's dig a hole in the tree first. Chu Biqiu said to Lan Xiaoman, "Then insert the intubation tube."

Lan Xiaoman took over the intubation tube and found a good tree about ten meters away from the edge of the pond. Yu Wanqing and others could not see him, but the sound of him carving the tree with a knife was clearly audible.

Chu Biqiu wondered where the awl had gone. He must have lost it when he escaped just now, or he took it with him into the poisonous mist. In short, he couldn't find it.

After more than ten minutes, Mulianhua woke up. She pointed to the jungle next to her and said, "Cai Lang."

Yu Wanqing first raised her head and saw two animals, which I guessed were wolves. She had never seen real wolves before—there were no such animals in the woods of Xiliang Women's Kingdom.

But Yu Wanqing may have seen photos in the tributes brought by envoys from various countries, so when she saw this animal, the word immediately appeared in her mind.

Although it is difficult to see clearly, these money wolves appear to be very tall, half the height of an adult.

Yu Wanqing felt that the appearance of Cai Lang was a bad omen, but at the same time it was stated that the air here was non-toxic, otherwise how could animals appear here?

In this confrontation, Yu Wanqing and the four of them quietly observed each other, Ren Ren and Cai Lang.

"Xiaoman, come here quickly!" Yu Wanqing shouted in a low voice, she was afraid of disturbing the money wolves.

Lan Xiaoman just filled a pot of water. When he heard Yu Wanqing calling him and saw her pointing to the jungle in front of him, he understood immediately. He was probably frightened because the hand holding the pot was trembling.

After Lan Xiaoman came back, everyone drank some water. After replenishing their water, Yu Wanqing struggled to get up first and climbed down the hillside.

Then everyone was getting up, and now asking them to walk was like asking them to fly, as if it was an impossible feat.

Just when they were less than ten meters away from the pond, Lan Xiaoman felt the changes in his surroundings. Perhaps it was the keen intuition developed through years of "hunting" games, or perhaps it was the gene that gave Lan Xiaoman inherited special functions from his parents.

Give him ears.

He felt many pairs of eyes wandering around them. They didn't need to cry out, just their rapid breathing was enough.

Lan Xiaoman winked at Yu Wanqing. She looked in the direction Lan Xiaoman pointed and saw more money wolves appearing.

"I wonder how these beasts could approach us so quietly?" Lan Xiaoman said.

"Perhaps they are not very quiet, but we were just concentrating on healing our injuries, and they may have taken advantage of that time to get close," Chu Biqiu said.

Five, ten, twenty...several dozen wealth wolves gradually appeared and gathered at the edge of the jungle on the road they were passing through.

When they were healing their wounds just now, the two they saw were just hunters. These were neither wolves nor jackals, and they looked very ferocious.

Lan Xiaoman took off the crossbow from his back and nocked an arrow. Others also prepared swords, knives, etc.

"Sister Biqiu," Lan Xiaoman said as low as possible, "I want you to do a favor."

They moved forward slowly, trying their best to be as gentle as possible, but Xiao Feiyan accidentally stepped on a loose stone and made a loud sound. Fortunately, the monkey was not disturbed.

When they walked not far from the edge of the forest, they felt their presence.

Lan Xiaoman only raised his eyes for a moment, but it seemed like a bomb had detonated. A group of jackals screamed, jumped over, and suddenly surrounded them.

Lan Xiaoman has never seen animals that move so fast. They emerge from the bushes, as if the thorns don't exist, and they jump long distances between the bushes as if they were walking on the ground. They grinned, and their neck hair stood on end.

The sharp claws are like sharp blades.

Maybe Lan Xiaoman is not familiar with wolves, but animals in nature will never behave like this.

"Mutant jackals!" Lan Xiaoman blurted out, and Chu Biqiu and Xiao Feiyan attacked them in the bushes.

Lan Xiaoman knew that every arrow must be put to use. In this murderous night, he aimed at their eyes, hearts, and throats, and shot arrows from his hands, killing each jackal one by one.

Xiao Feiyan and Chu Biqiu inserted their swords into their chests and then threw them aside. Mulianhua stabbed them with a knife. Without the participation of Chu Biqiu and Xiao Feiyan, this hunting operation would have been really unbearable.

.

Lan Xiaoman felt wolf claws grabbing his legs, throwing himself on his back, and then being killed by others. The air was filled with rosin, the mixed smell of blood and wolf smell, and the atmosphere was extremely tense. Xiao Feiyan, Chu Biqiu and Lan

Xiao Man was a few yards apart, standing back to back in a triangle, surrounding Yu Wanqing and Mulian Hua in the middle.

When Lan Xiaoman shot the last arrow, his heart sank. Then he remembered that Yu Wanqing still had a quiver. She did not use a bow and arrow, but used a sword to defend herself. At this time, Lan Xiaoman had no choice but to draw out his sword.

But the wolves were too fast. They were jumping around, leaving no one with time to react. (To be continued)
