Mai Ziwen and Hannah didn't dare to light the torch, and dug deeper into the forest.
The fierce fighting behind them gradually faded away, and they could only occasionally hear the roars of ferocious beasts.
But not long after, Hannah always felt that something was following them, "Mai Ziwen, be gentle, there seems to be movement behind you."
Mai Ziwen stopped and listened, "It should be the sound of wind blowing leaves."
Hannah disagreed, "It's very quiet around here, don't you think it's unusual?
"The only thing that can make other creatures feel threatened but make us feel silent is the Qiongqi.
"Think about it, it could kill that giant beast, maybe..."
Suddenly, without any warning, she quickly came over and pressed Mai Ziwen against the tree trunk with her body.
Mai Ziwen was shocked, "What are you doing?"
But his voice seemed muffled.
Because Hannah covered his mouth with one hand, "Shh."
Hannah put her mouth close to Mai Ziwen's ear and sounded like a mosquito, "There is a change in the light, which proves that something is coming."
The two of them held their breath and concentrated.
Sure enough, in the weak light, there was a huge but extremely agile black shadow, jumping and jumping from the tree trunk in the distance, approaching quickly even more agile than a monkey.
"Woo..." Suddenly the howl of a wild beast came from the distance.
This sound is very similar to the thorny monster from before.
At this time, the black shadow jumped up and reached the tree trunk above Mai Ziwen and the others.
The huge black shadow stopped, and a blood-curdling snoring sound came from its mouth... The snoring sound, and an extremely fishy smell spread instantly.
Mai Ziwen and Hannah didn't dare to look up at all, didn't dare to make any sound, and even held their breath completely for fear of alarming this guy.
"Woo..." There was another obvious roar.
The big thing above the two people seemed to be irritated, and it made a whirring sound.
Mai Ziwen and Hannah felt their scalps were on fire and their moods were extremely tense.
Fortunately, at the next moment, with a whoosh, a black shadow sprang out from the tree trunk above the two people's heads and rushed in the direction of the sound, as fast as lightning.
Because this guy was so fast and the forest was so dark, Mai Ziwen and the two of them couldn't even see what the black shadow looked like, and there was no trace of it.
After a long time, Hannah finally let go of her hand covering Mai Ziwen, "It should be that Qiongqi."
Mai Ziwen felt cold and wet with sweat, "What should we do now?"
Hannah shook her tense and sore arms, "This big guy must be following our breath. Let's find some strong-smelling plants to mess up the smell.
"Then we look for Fan Li and the others, and we must inform them of the presence of dangerous creatures."
Mai Ziwen nodded...
Fan Li on the other side.
Fan Li used a trick to deceive the restless raptor, and after he and everyone escaped smoothly, he followed the strange road forward.
This road seemed to have been specially opened for them. It was surrounded by airtight shrubs, with only a narrow path in the middle for passage, just like a field ridge.
Because the bushes are so dense, the light inside is very dark.
In order to drive away the poisonous insects and illuminate the path, Fan Li and the others lit torches.
Chloe held the torch and led the way, while Tesla held the torch and took the lead.
Fan Lize walked in the middle with a gun to prevent emergencies, "Chloe, when are you going to tell us?"
Chloe looked at Tesla and crossed her chest in disbelief, "What did you say?"
Fan Li pointed at Tesla, "The distance is too far and there is no suitable equipment. You must hold on to him, and I hold on to your legs. This is the only way."
Chloe was shocked, "You let me go in there?"
Fan Li said matter-of-factly, "Hurry up, don't waste time here."
Chloe resisted, "Then why don't you go in?"
Fan Li frowned, "Hurry up. You lie flat on it. It's light and has a large force-bearing surface. It won't sink for a while. I'm too heavy, and you can't pull two people."
Tesla understood this better than Fan Li, "Chloe, please, hurry up."
Chloe had a headache, "Okay, okay, stop screaming."
She sighed and knelt down by the swamp.
Fan Li knelt down behind her, "Okay, that's it, put your belly up against it, and I'll push your butt hard. Don't worry, I'll hold on to your legs."
Chloe frowned, "Oh, it's so disgusting, ah..."
Fan Li pushed her towards Tesla, "That's right, Chloe, you did a good job."
Tesla’s chin was covered by mud, “I’m about to sink too.”
Chloe felt her body sinking rapidly, "Ah, I..."
Fan Li held her legs tightly, "Don't be nervous, relax your body as much as possible, hold your breath, and lie flat on the Liuze."
Chloe gritted her teeth, "I swear... Fan Li, I will kill you later."
"No...ah..." she encouraged and stretched out a hand to Tesla.
Tesla had completely sunk at this time, but he desperately stretched out a hand to grab Chloe.
Chloe stretched out her arms as much as possible, raised her head as high as possible, and held her breath as much as possible.
She also knew that at this time, the opportunity was fleeting and there would be no chance again.
Chloe's hand finally grasped Tesla's big hand tightly.
When Fan Li on the shore saw this, he immediately stood up and pulled Chloe's legs back with all his strength.
"Ah..." Chloe felt like she was pulling on a big boulder, which was as heavy as a stone.
Tesla's head was finally revealed again.
He breathed heavily, "Ahem, thank you, ah... thank you!"
Fan Li pulled hard.
Chloe grabbed Tesla's hand.
Tesla, in turn, grabbed this last life-saving straw.
It was like a relay tug-of-war.
This is a difficult process that requires mutual trust and is extremely physically demanding.
Tesla's body was pulled out of the mud little by little.
In the end, with united efforts, Tesla was finally brought back from the brink of death.
Swamp shore.
Tesla lay on the ground gasping for breath, his legs still in the mud and unable to move.
Fan Li sat on his knees, looking equally exhausted.
Chloe knelt and sat in Fan Li's arms, her body close to him, but her hands kept shaking, "Oh..."
She felt like there were millions of bugs crawling all over her body, and she was extremely sick.
Tesla took a breath, "Do you... know?"
Fan Li was too tired to open his eyes, "What?"
Tesla was still out of breath, "I thought this was a road."
Fan Li was amused, "Haha, your eyes are so good."
Chloe was also happy.
However, she retaliated by wiping her dirty hands on Fan Li's face.
