Chapter 780: Narrowly Escaped Death
"No?" Seeing Yang Xun's ugly face, Master Deng couldn't help frowning, "Where were you taken?"
"Go back! Go back again!" Qin Wuchao shouted, "These brutes! I have to blow up their nest today and let them lose their offspring!"
Zhong Ruoxi's delicate body couldn't help but tremble, her arms paddled in the water, and she seemed to be about to turn back. Shi Yinghui grabbed the strap of her backpack from behind: "Don't be impulsive, if Li Qingzhen is taken into the water by a crocodile, even if you turn back now, you won't be able to save him." ”
After steadying in his heart, Zhong Ruoxi said softly: "You continue to move forward, find a place to go ashore, and I'll go back and have a look." ”
As soon as her words fell, Gu Yue had already disobeyed the order, and her soft body plunged into the water.
"Come back!" Zhong Ruoxi shouted coldly, but to no avail. In the entire team, even Li Qing was not sure to suppress Gu Yue, let alone others.
Gu Yue's mind was all on Li Qing, if it weren't for the latter, she wouldn't have come to stir up this troubled water. After swimming forward for a while, Gu Yue stuck her head out of the water to breathe, and suddenly saw a series of bubbles rising on the water five or six meters away from her.
The pretty face changed color slightly, Gu Yue grabbed the short knife in his hand, and was about to go further, when a large cloud of blood suddenly rose from the place where the bubbles were originally bubbling, and then a wave of water rushed high, and then a giant crocodile five or six meters long floated up with its belly facing up. Its entire belly was thrown longitudinally, its internal organs were mixed and dripping with blood.
The pupils shrank suddenly, Gu Yue instinctively retreated, and then saw that five or six meters away from the crocodile, there was another blood surging up, and then a crocodile stretched out half of its head from the water, rolling incessantly, splashing in all directions.
This process lasted for more than ten seconds, and the crocodile remained motionless and completely dead.
"Li Qing!"
Gu Yue called twice, and then saw a ** head emerge from the water, reached out to wipe the water stains on his face, and grinned at her: "I'm fine." ”
Seeing that familiar cheek, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Big brother, I'm really scared to death by you. Wen Yang shouted angrily.
Li Qing waved his hand at him, and then swam to Gu Yue's side: "Hurry up, otherwise you will have to attract a large group in a while." ”
"Hmm. Gu Yue nodded, and the two of them quickly converged with the rest.
"Master Deng, blow it up. Li Qing commanded in a deep voice, "Give us some time to escape." ”
"Understood. Deng Shi nodded, and threw a few packs of waterproof ** into the distance to detonate, temporarily blocking the pursuit of those crocodiles, and then the ten people left quickly.
By the time the ten men finally climbed onto the land and lay on the grass with their backs facing the sky panting, they really felt that their numb hands and feet had completely disobeyed the call.
After resting for a while, Li Qing propped up his upper body, took out the kettle and poured a mouthful of water, raised his neck to rinse his mouth, and then spit it out.
"I'll take some medicine for a while. Li Qing advised, "The water in this river is not clean, I have drunk a lot today, don't make a stomach fuss and get parasites and the like." ”
Deng Shiyi turned over, lay on the ground, picked up the telescope and shook it, and then put it in front of him to see: "Let the little master take a look, where did we run to?"
"Can you locate it?" Feng Yucheng took off his soaked clothes and shoes and hung them on the grass, turned his head and asked.
"Not too optimistic. Master Deng pursed his lips and shook his head slightly, "It's possible that you've gone too far." ”
Feng Yucheng stretched out his hand and pointed into the distance: "We have been walking along the foot of the mountain, in fact, it is not difficult to find the current location, open the map and take a look." ”
"Well, try. Deng Shi beckoned Yang Xun to come over, opened the map wrapped in a waterproof bag, and dotted on it.
"There are no particularly prominent mountains in the vicinity, and I don't know how far I have walked. Deng Shi's finger traced down the mountain range on the map, and suddenly paused, "But the method is simple, no matter how far we deviate, our goal is only to find this road." ”
"That's right. Yang Xun nodded, "So as long as you go forward in this direction, no matter how far or near you are, you will definitely be able to reach it." ”
Li Qing turned his head to look at this side, and asked in a loud voice, "What have you researched?"
Deng Shi raised his head, stretched out his hand and pointed to the southwest: "Go in this direction." ”
Raising his eyebrows, Li Qing asked, "How far is it?"
Deng Shi shook his head: "I don't know, but I can definitely get there." ”
"Done. Li Qing nodded, "Rest first, and then talk about it when you have enough energy." ”
Zhong Ruoxi finished bandaging Shi Yinghui's little finger and asked coldly, "Who else is injured?"
"Several of us have minor injuries. Master Deng waved his hand, "Don't get in the way, just deal with it yourself." ”
Gu Yue set her eyes on Li Qing, who had no choice but to smile helplessly, raised her hand and waved: "I." ”
Zhong Ruoxi blinked, walked to Li Qing with the medical bag and squatted down: "Where?"
Li Qing rolled up his trouser leg, and Zhong Ruoxi suddenly saw the row of dark blue bite marks on Li Qing's left calf. "What is this?"
"Crocodile bites. Li Qing smiled, "It's just that when I was dragged into the water, one of them bit here and almost tore off a piece of meat." ”
"The crocodile's teeth are poisonous, I'll take care of it for you, or you'll get infected. Zhong Ruoxi said softly and took out the anti-inflammatory and antibacterial powder from the medicine bag.
Li Qing stared at her carefully medicating herself, and suddenly asked, "Are you worried about me?"
"Huh?" Zhong Ruoxi raised her head, "What?"
"I ask you... At that time, were you worried about me?" asked Li Qing with a grin.
"Self-inflicted. Zhong Ruoxi glanced at Li Qing, but found that at this moment, the eyes of this thing were not on him at all, but staring directly at his feet. Because the boots were filled with water, Zhong Ruoxi took off his leather boots and socks and threw them aside just after he went ashore. At this moment, although the two little feet have soaked in cold water for a day and a night, and rubbed against the sand on the ground, they are still delicate and white, as if they are carved in jade.
With a slight movement in her heart, Zhong Ruoxi couldn't help but ask, "What are you looking at?"
"Your feet are so beautiful. Li Qing smiled, "I thought you were as good as you, you should be a big-footed woman." ”
"You're so idle. After Zhong Ruoxi finished taking the medicine, she directly smashed a roll of gauze on Li Qing's face, then got up and left, "Wrap it yourself." ”
Li Qing's face was a little embarrassed, but Gu Yue was still mending the knife on the side, and sneered strangely: "Do you know what it means to deliberately follow the flowing water, and the flowing water has no intention of falling in love with the falling flowers?"
Frowning, Li Qing pretended to pouted impatiently: "It's messy, I don't understand!"
Gu Yue smiled, raised her head slightly, and squinted her eyes to look at the sun: "This time is in the rainy season, and this kind of good time won't last long." ”
"Wouldn't it?" Qin Wuchao raised his hand to cover his forehead, "On this sunny day, can it be cloudy again?"
"We'll see. Gu Yue didn't say much.
Qin Wuchao pursed his lips, turned around and kicked Ji Wenbin, who was like a dead pig: "Hey, hey, why are you asleep?"
It had rained all day, and now the weather is much better, and the sun is shining brightly overhead, making people warm all over. Several people undressed and spread out on the bushes to dry. Zhong Ruoxi and Gu Yue were women after all, so it was inevitable that they would be a little inconvenient, so they avoided this group of big men and walked around behind a cluster of trees. The two men took off their clothes and hung them on the branches to dry.
Li Qing was always worried that Zhong Ruoxi and Gu Yue would be able to fight, so he looked in that direction from time to time, and after a while, he was hit on the forehead by a stone thrown from behind the bushes.
"If you dare to look around, I gouged out your eyes!" Zhong Ruoxi shouted coldly.
Li Qing rubbed his head and muttered angrily: "I don't know what to do." ”
Ten people took turns to take a nap, then ate the last bit of food, and replenished their bodies, and before they knew it, more than three hours had passed, and the sky was overcast again.
"What the hell is the weather. Qin Wuchao scolded, "I really let Gu Yue say it right, with this momentum, it won't take long for it to rain again." ”
Deng Shi glanced at Qin Wuchao: "You don't look at how long Gu Yue has been in Longxi, she knows the climate of West Asia well, and she is much better than you." ”
Li Qing stood up, moved his limbs, and found that the injury on his calf was only a little itching and stinging, which did not affect his activities, and he was slightly relieved.
After glancing around, Li Qing said in a deep voice: "Get dressed and prepare to continue your journey." ”
Wen Yang pulled up his clothes from the grass, put them under his nose and sniffed them, and immediately frowned: "This smell... It's disgusting..."
"After soaking in dirty water all night, what good taste do you expect?" Feng Yucheng said with a smile, "It's good to have dry clothes to wear, less nonsense." ”
"It's soaked in water, and I can't use it. Qin Wuchao got dressed, picked out some equipment that had been soaked in water and could no longer be used, and threw it away, and then picked up his backpack.
Zhong Ruoxi and Gu Yue were neatly dressed and also turned out from behind the bushes. After a short rest, the ten men gathered again. Except for Shi Yinghui, who broke his little finger and the wound was slightly inflamed, there were no problems with the others. It's incredible that this team, after crossing the swamp and escaping the crocodile attack, still managed to maintain a staggering zero casualties.
But Li Qing did not relax in the slightest because of this, he knew very well that everything was just beginning, and the real test was ahead.
"This direction. Deng Shi raised his hand and pointed, "If you go down this road, you will definitely find that road." ”
"Let's go, then. Li Qing said slowly, "I can't wait for a car." ”
