"Sh*t! this is a problem!" James picked up the M4A1 rifle hanging from his chest, opened the safety and opened the fire before firing.

"Wait a minute, Mr. James!"

Zhu Zhonglin, who had almost no sense of existence except for timidity and complaining along the way, suddenly spoke.

"I'm not sure if I'm going to do it, but I can give it a try. ”

Zhu Zhonglin took out a piece of wood carving engraved with a unicorn pattern from his backpack, and when he saw this wood carving, all the large-mouthed beasts fell silent.

Not only did he not have a violent look, but his big eyes widened, but he looked fierce and cute.

"What's going on?" asked James, surprised.

"I don't know very well, I also found it in some records at home, legend has it that there are a large number of ancient beasts near the ruins of the temple as the first line of defense to protect the treasure, this kind of thing is called Zhu Heng, the personality is irritable and irritable, the nature is delicious, and the body is copper and iron, invulnerable. Only with this unicorn order in my hand will they let us pass. ”

"The first line of defense is so dangerous that we are almost wiped out, and how many lines of defense are there behind?" James asked as he bandaged Pique.

"I don't know about this, but since I said it, this is the 'first way', so why must there be a 'second way' in the future, right?" Zhu Zhonglin said uncertainly.

James and Francis took Pique, plus Durin and Jones, around Zhu Zhonglin, and carefully passed the deep ditch.

When crossing the deep ditch, Du Lin glanced down, and with his super eyesight, he could see that there were still many large-mouthed beasts in the deep ditch, which was what Zhu Zhonglin said.

After walking forward for a distance, Du Lin looked back, only to see that the body of Zhu Heng before had been pulled into the deep ditch by other companions, and all Zhu Heng had also returned to the deep ditch and disappeared.

Now that the first line of defense for the temple ruins has been encountered, the location of the temple should not be too far away.

When they were far away from the deep ditch, everyone stopped to rest. Du Lin checked Pique's wound, Zhu Heng's big mouth has several layers of teeth, each tooth is like a sharp knife, so Pique's right foot seems to be slashed by dozens of knives at the same time, and the entire right foot is blurred with flesh and blood.

Durin pulled out the needle box, which he never left his body, and took out the suture tool from it. He took another bottle of medical alcohol from James.

"Peake, now I'm going to disinfect your wound and then stitch it up, the whole process may be a little painful, you have to endure it. ”

"No problem, Doctor Du, come on, I can bear it!" Peake replied hummingly, the sharp pain making him change his voice a little.

Durin nodded, holding an alcohol bottle in one hand and a cotton ball in the other, quickly and accurately cleaning the wound on Pique's right foot.

Peake gritted his teeth, trying not to make a sound, but he couldn't contain a low moan in his throat.

After cleaning the wound, Durin picked up the needle and thread, flipped his hands up and down, and sewed up the small wounds on Peake's feet one by one with needle and thread.

Even if one of the most experienced surgeons was asked to do the stitching, so many wounds would have to be stitched for two or three hours, but Duhrin only took more than half an hour and stitched up all the wounds.

Durin pulled out a bottle of Panax notoginseng powder from his backpack and sprinkled it evenly on Pique's foot, then completely covered Pique's right foot with a clean bandage.

"It's not a big problem, it's mainly flesh wounds, no injuries to the muscles and bones, and it will heal in about 10 days and half a month," Durin said to James while washing his hands with alcohol, "You can cut down a few branches and make him a crutch in a while, although his movement will be affected somewhat, but it will not affect his walking." ”

Peake, who was sitting on the ground, said in amazement, "Oh my gosh, I don't feel that much pain in my foot, I don't think I'm able to walk now." ”

Saying that, Peake rolled over and stood up, trying to take two steps with his right foot on the ground, although there was still some slight pain, which made him frown slightly, but it could be seen that his feet could indeed walk.

"Thank you, Dr. Du, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I'd be a drag on everyone," Peake walked over and shook Durin's hand, "Your medical skills are really very good, I thought my foot might be going to die." ”

"You're welcome, I'm a doctor, and it's my duty to save people." Then he said in his heart, if you don't meet me, if you don't meet me, your foot may really be useless.

Because only Dohrin can tell exactly which wounds have injured blood vessels and need to be sutured first, which wounds are near tendons and nerves and need deep suturing, and which wounds are just skin trauma and can be left for slow suturing at the back.

If it weren't for Doolin's ability to accurately and rationally determine the order of sutures, Pique's foot would likely have become dysfunctional due to certain nerves or tendons not being treated in a timely manner.

Pique's teammates also came over separately to thank Durin.

After resting for a while, the group continued their march towards the ruins of the temple.

After another kilometer or so, they could already see a spire of a vine-covered building peeking out of the top of a tree in the distance.

The target is close at hand, and it can't help but lift everyone's spirits, but the "second line of defense" that has been worrying about has never appeared, and a big stone hanging in their hearts has not yet landed.

Due to Pique's injury and the unknown "second line of defense", Jones, who is currently at the front of the team, has been replaced by Jones, who is more familiar with jungle warfare.

The closer you get to the temple ruins, the more sparse the trees become, and eventually a mossy stone path appears.

However, the more this happens, the more vigilant everyone becomes, because everyone knows in their hearts that if there really is a "second line of defense", this is undoubtedly the most likely location.

Sure enough, Jones, who was walking in the front, stopped and raised his left fist to signal everyone to stand still.

He walked forward alone and tentatively took a few steps, then came back and borrowed Peake's improvised cane, which he kept tapping on the ground.

Suddenly, a stone slab moved, and within a few square meters around the stone slab, a large number of cold and shining spikes popped out from the cracks in the stone slab, and a few of them almost penetrated the soles of Jones's feet, causing Jones to retreat again and again.

The spikes popped out and fell slowly, and the ground returned to its original state, with only small holes proving what had just happened here.

Everyone knew in their hearts that they were afraid that they had now entered the realm of the so-called second line of defense, which seemed to be dominated by traps and traps.

This place is different from Liu Bowen's tomb, the anti-theft measures in Liu Bowen's tomb were designed by Du Lin, so he knows the traps there well, and the tomb road and tomb chamber that are difficult for others to walk on are like walking on the ground for Du Lin.

And here Durin is also black-eyed.

He had the intention of finding an opportunity to light a soul-searching talisman and open the Eye of Heaven. But he looked at Zhu Zhonglin and the others beside him, obviously now is not the time.

The only thing he can rely on now is Jones, who is good at traps and traps, but Jones is an American, and many of the simple traps he is good at are used in jungle warfare, and he is not completely sure of cracking this kind of mechanism with obvious Chinese characteristics.

After everyone carefully passed this section of the stone road, they were greeted by a "tree wall" overgrown with thorns.
