Chapter 25: Sacrifice
Qin Hai was reprimanded, and immediately closed his mouth and stopped talking, just looking at Lu Yaoyao staying in the branches, he couldn't help but laugh. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"I almost forgot about it." Mu Han snapped his fingers, and the snake demon that was tightly wrapped in branches not far away was dragged over.
The snake demon was still struggling, and his mouth was constantly muttering, as if he was gagged by something.
Mu Han wasn't worried that it would be able to escape at all, this snake demon had only been cultivating for more than eight hundred years, and he couldn't turn it over in his hands at all. It just broke its head, and it didn't want to get out of this cocoon.
Xie Lingmo took Li Dingrui and Qin Hai to sit on the Zhuxian Sword, and Mu Han took the wooden cocoon that wrapped Lu Yaoyao and Jiang Yu in the air. Yun Luo also swept the air in the air, using a hemp rope to entangle the wooden cocoon trapped in the snake demon and drag it to the ground.
Under the illumination of glass lanterns, the group traveled through the vast night and entered the deepest part of Yaotai Mountain. The trees grew denser and denser along the way, but in winter, most of the trees had lost their green leaves, leaving only bare branches and trunks, which looked very desolate.
Gradually, there were a few cypress trees with green leaves, with a hint of demonic energy.
As they went deeper, there were more and more green trees on both sides, but there was a gap full of fallen leaves in the middle, as if it was a natural path, and at the end of the path, there was a shocking view.
A green meadow that still shows life in winter, and above this meadow is a house made of countless intertwined tree branches. The five-storey cylindrical wooden building in the center is surrounded by triangular roofs or flat-roofed cabins. The houses are connected by smooth and flat cobblestones, and a half-meter-high fence made of tangled tree branches forms a small courtyard.
The night was deep, and a few sparkling lights hung on the fence of this small courtyard and on the eaves of the houses, warm and soft. However, no one is in the mood to appreciate this beautiful scenery at this moment.
Mu Han led them to the courtyard and fell to the ground, letting go of the cocoon. helped Lu Yaoyao support Jiang Yu, who was still in a coma.
If it was in normal times, Lu Yaoyao's girl's heart would have been defeated by the beautiful scene here. But at this time, Jiang Yu didn't wake up for a long time, she was full of fat and anxious, she didn't care about appreciating this place at all, and she didn't even want to look at what the surroundings looked like.
"I'll take you to take a break," Mu Han thought for a while, but still told them, "A few members of your other team are also here. ”
Xie Lingmo was thinking about how to find the fifth team if they were injured like this, and when he heard this, he was immediately surprised: "Are the members of the fifth team here?" Are they good? ”
Mu Han didn't know how to answer, so he had to say, "You'd better go and see for yourself." ”
Xie Lingmo frowned when he heard this, and a bad premonition surged in his heart.
Everyone helped each other into the only wooden house in the courtyard with lights on. As soon as they entered, everyone in the six teams was stunned.
On the largest bunk in the room lay three men, all unconscious. One of the best-looking men caught their attention at a glance, but his face was flushed, his lips were very pale, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his head in the winter.
"Captain Five!" Qin Hai exclaimed, hurriedly stepped forward, and gently lifted the quilt on Ji Hanzhi's body. I saw that the originally sturdy body under the quilt was densely wrapped with bandages, and some blood stains had slightly penetrated into the most superficial bandages.
"They are not in danger for the time being, just a little fever, you can give them some medicine in a while. I found a monster who knew how to treat and bandaged their wounds," Mu Han helped Lu Yaoyao and Jiang Yu to the other bed, "You better come and see them." ”
Qin Hai took a fever-reducing injection from his bag, and after giving Ji Hanzhi an injection first, he made sure that the others were not having a fever. He walked back, helped Xie Lingmo to lie down beside Lu Yaoyao, and whispered, "Sister, you untie your clothes." ”
Mu Han stood up with a knowing face, pulled Yun Luo, who had been standing silently in the corner for a long time, and walked out, and said in a childish tone: "Let's go Luo Luo, let's throw this unpleasant snake demon into the cellar first......
Xie Lingmo endured the pain in his chest, slowly took off his cotton clothes, and only the innermost layer of tight vest remained. Qin Hai lifted her clothes and found that her right chest was red and swollen.
"Does it hurt for you to breathe," Qin Hai's fingertips pressed lightly on her lungs, "Does it hurt here when you breathe?" ”
Xie Lingmo shook his head.
Qin Hai breathed a sigh of relief: "Then it doesn't matter, you may have a little injury to your ribs, but it doesn't matter." ”
Qin Hai found two quilts to cover the three of them, and helped Li Dingrui to lie down on the bunk, and took off his shirt. Li Dingrui's back was also red and swollen, slightly purple. Qin Hai rubbed and pressed it so much that Li Dingrui was sweating profusely, and only then did he make sure that there was no problem with his spine.
"Xiaohai, why hasn't Jiang Yu woken up yet?" Lu Yaoyao looked at Jiang Yu, who was pale, and asked with some concern.
"Brother Yu is fine," Qin Hai rummaged through his bag and felt for a stethoscope, "He hit his head, swollen a bag, and probably had a slight concussion." But it's okay, I guess I'll wake up after a while. Sister Yaoyao, does the bone fracture on your leg hurt? I've got two injections of painkillers, why don't I give you one shot? ”
"No need," Lu Yaoyao said, "I can hold back." ”
Qin Hai asked again: "That sister, deputy captain, do you need it?" ”
Xie Lingmo shook his head.
Li Dingrui also said softly: "I'm fine, don't waste the medicine." ”
Qin Hai nodded, took out the stethoscope from his bag again, checked all three members of the fifth team, and reluctantly settled down after making sure that there was no danger to his life. Then he asked a little uneasily: "Sister, is the fifth team all dispatched this time?" ”
"Yes." Xie Lingmo said softly.
Qin Hai asked a little flustered: "Then, Shu Wang and Shu Ying ......"
"Don't panic," Li Dingrui said, "I don't know what you're panicking about, maybe you just ran away." ”
Among the people in this room, only Qin Hai was unscathed. He thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "I'll ask Mu Han, you guys rest first." I'll report back to the organization in a moment and have someone come up the mountain to pick us up tomorrow morning. ”
Xie Lingmo nodded and said, "Go ahead." ”
Qin Hai went out, but he didn't find half a figure. He looked around and found Yun Luo sitting on the roof of a house with his legs hanging in the air.
Yun Luo is really a very beautiful girl, her skin is as white as jade in the moonlight, and her eyes are very smart. She was dressed in a summer gauze dress and barefoot, like a fairy in the forest.
Qin Hai asked, "Can I ask you a few things?" ”
Yun Luo was originally looking into the distance, but when he heard this, he tilted his head and looked at him without speaking.
Qin Hai was puzzled: "Why don't you speak?" Don't you feel bored? ”
Yun Luo pursed his lips and lowered his head to look at him.
"Lolo doesn't like to talk."
Mu Han walked over from the other side, he had already changed into a clean woolen coat, and the whole person exuded a gentle feeling. He looked at Yun Luo, and his eyes revealed a deep tenderness and doting.
"Then let me ask you," Qin Hai took a deep breath and said cautiously, "When you rescued those three people, did you see two girls?" ”
Mu Han looked at him silently and sighed for a while. He nodded and said softly, "See." ”
Seeing his reaction, Qin Hai's heart sank a little, and his hands trembled a little: "...... What about them? ”
"When I arrived, there was a girl who had been torn apart and swallowed alive by several wolf demons," Mu Han said with a hint of regret in his tone, "Another girl who can manipulate plants, in order to save the remaining few people, used a life-for-life trick, and the corpse was annihilated into powder." ”
Although Qin Hai had prepared for the worst, he didn't expect that the Shu family's sisters had really sacrificed, and they had sacrificed so tragically, that they couldn't help but whimper.
Mu Han was also extremely uncomfortable in his heart, he patted Qin Hai's shoulder, but he didn't know what to say.
"That'...... What about the youkai who attacked them? ”
"I killed you."
Qin Hai's eyes were red, and he asked, "What about the corpse?" "This group of things that killed his comrades, even the corpses, he didn't want to let go!
Mu Han sighed lightly: "I was so angry when I saw that scene, so I ...... I ruined their bodies. ”
Qin Hai couldn't help but cry quietly, but he was still very grateful in his heart for saving the remaining members of the fifth team. He checked the injuries of Team 5 and knew that if he hadn't come to the rescue, Team 5 would have all died here this time.
"You ......" Mu Han rubbed his hair and comforted, "Don't cry, you have to think about it, there are still three people alive, right?" ”
Qin Hai nodded vigorously, tears still covering his face. He choked up and said, "Tomorrow we will notify the organization and ask them to send someone up the mountain to pick us up." Can you cooperate with our investigation? It's just...... Just a few questions for you. ”
Mu Han agreed: "Of course, I will take Yunluo to deal with some things tomorrow." The day after tomorrow, I will go to the organization in Xia County to find you. ”
"Good ......"
Mu Han saw him crying sadly, and he was also very sad. This little human boy was only sixteen years old, the same age as Yun Luo. How can he not be sad in the face of the death of his friend, but it has happened, and although he regrets it, there is nothing he can do.
He sighed and decided to let Qin Hai stay by himself for a while. After all, they are not familiar with it, and it is useless to comfort them a little. Mu Han raised his head, opened his arms, and said to Yun Luo, "Luo Luo, come down." ”
Yun Luo didn't hesitate at all, he really jumped down like that and crashed straight into Mu Han's arms.
Mu Han hugged the soft and petite body in his arms, and felt a lot better. He lived for 3,000 years, and he saw too much of the things in the world, and he faded away. As long as Yun Luo was still by his side, he wouldn't feel sad.
Yun Luo looked at Qin Hai and found a handkerchief out of nowhere. She folded it in her hand, folded it into a small square and handed it over. Whispered: "Here you go." ”
Qin Hai was stunned, he didn't expect her to take the initiative to speak. Although he couldn't even call it comforting, he still felt the kindness of the other party. He smiled reluctantly and said, "Thank you." ”
Mu Han patted him on the shoulder and left with Yun Luo.
