Chapter Ninety-Two: Wild Dialogue
Bai Xiaoran screamed from afar after he was done, his voice was very soft and embarrassed.
The two behemoths retreated at the same time, disappearing into the thick night. Chen Mo looked at the direction in which they disappeared and did not move for a long time.
After this night, the giant beast never appeared again, but Chen Mo always had a feeling of thorns in his back.
A few days passed quickly, and the mountains were still endless.
People who have never entered the mountains can never imagine what kind of world this is, Bai Xiaoran gradually discovered that the mountain range itself is the ancient host, and everything that is derived from the climbing on its body is destined to rise and fall with its will.
That probably includes him and her, too.
The wound on Bai Xiaoran's leg had indeed worsened as expected, red, swollen and inflamed, and pus was constantly oozing out. She began to have a low-grade fever, her limbs were weak, and she always felt groggy and wanted to sleep. Chen Mo was ruthless several times, wanting to rip off the rotten flesh on her leg with iron sheets, but finally gave up because the wound was too deep.
I can't remember how many mountains have been turned over, and when Chen Mo passed through a sunny land, he found countless purslane with fat stems and leaves. There were only a few herbs he could recognize, and purslane was the most familiar of them.
In terms of medicinal use, purslane has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, reducing swelling and reducing inflammation. Chen Mo was overjoyed when he saw it, chewed a few plants into a paste, wrapped Bai Xiaoran's injured leg, took off his coat and wrapped it into a package, and picked a full bag for later use.
There's not much more he can do. In such an environment, Bai Xiaoran's leg injury is very fatal, and the most critical point now is whether she can stand it herself.
After changing the herbs a few times, there was no longer pus on Bai Xiaoran's legs, and after another day, the swelling had subsided a lot. However, the fever continued, and gradually became serious, she fell asleep for longer and longer, and Chen Mo rested less and less during the mountain climbing, and finally became almost a tireless machine.
"Brother Chen Mo, you can take a break." Every time Bai Xiaoran woke up, he would say this.
"I'm not tired." Chen Mo always replied with a smile.
He could feel the vitality weakening a little in the girl's body, and she had turned into a withering flower compared to her previous lively appearance. At night, when he had to find a place to rest, he would often stare at her for a long time, and after falling asleep, he would jump up immediately at the slightest hint of wind and grass, for fear that something would go wrong if he didn't pay attention.
The sense of threat that has never disappeared is still wandering in the jungle behind, tailing. They seem to have never seen a beast that has never walked upright, and they are cautious while persevering all the way.
Chen Mo now even carried Bai Xiaoran behind him when he was looking for food, and he didn't dare to let her stay away from his sight for a second. Extreme vigilance and tension had turned him into a pure paranoid, and the endless physical exertion had exhausted him, but the mental strength had reached an unprecedented level.
On this day, Bai Xiaoran woke up in a daze and saw Chen Mo peeling a small beast, what surprised her was not the bloody thing, but his current appearance.
Chen Mo was so thin that he was out of shape, his clothes and pants were so tattered that he was out of shape, and his dark face and head and neck were full of wounds cut by thorns. He had the sharpened piece of iron in his mouth, and he was pulling the whole skin of the little beast down from his head and neck, and his eyes were hideous, and he looked like a wild man with hair and blood.
Those stone carvings standing in the long grass quickly attracted Bai Xiaoran's attention. She is still deep in the mountains, surrounded by the remains of an ancient witch temple. The crumbling pillars and ruins provided enough shelter from the wind and rain, and she lay on a bluestone slab with a plantain leaf underneath her, and the half-god in front of her eyes had cracked fangs all over her body, and a gray-scaled four-legged snake swam through the cracks in the stone.
Bai Xiaoran silently swallowed the internal organs of the little beast, his lips were stained with blood, and he kept gagging, but he still gritted his teeth and didn't spit out this little thing. During the whole process of eating, she kept looking at Chen Mo, with tender attachment in her eyes.
"Brother Chen Mo, you can go by yourself. If you continue like this, I'll drag you to death here. She whispered.
"Less!" Chen Mo saw that she didn't even have the strength to chew something, so he tore the raw meat, bit it into small pieces in her mouth, and fed it to her with a gloomy face.
Bai Xiaoran saw him feeding himself like this, his heart was warm, although he didn't have the slightest appetite, he still opened his mouth obediently.
After eating, the girl had a splitting headache, and the back of her neck twitched so badly that she was pulling like a big tendon there, and she wanted to pull her upper body back into a bow. She knew very well that this was very similar to the symptoms of tetanus, but she did not mention it to Chen Mo.
"Brother Chen Mo, I'm going to shhh Bai Xiaoran slowly stood up, and this time he didn't look embarrassed.
Chen Mo carried her to the outside of the Witch Temple, refusing to go far. Bai Xiaoran only said that he was beside him, and he couldn't pout, and he almost cried before he complied.
Relieving his hand was just an excuse, Bai Xiaoran sat on a big rock, gasped for a moment, and quieted down.
The herbs applied to the wound were still cool, and the cloth on the outside was not loose or tight, Chen Mo would change and wash it every day, so careful that he didn't even look like a man. But Bai Xiaoran understands better than anyone that he is the kind of real man.
There is an essential difference between men and boys, Chen Mo is like a heavy book, opening every page, with different contents. After entering the mountain, Bai Xiaoran was laughed by the saying "snakes are afraid of bamboo ancestors"; Later, I saw him picking wormwood, and the mosquitoes actually gathered around the two and did not dare to approach; Now using herbs to treat trauma is also something she has never experienced.
All these things should be the wisdom and experience he inherited from his ordinary ancestors. He was a poor boy from the beginning, but in terms of survival, he knew more than rich sons such as Liang Min and Pan Jingcheng.
The territory of the mountains is desperately vast, and the wounds you have suffered in the city can be easily healed, but here it is undoubtedly fatal. Every signal in his body proved that he couldn't last too long, and Bai Xiaoran felt that it was time to do something.
If he hadn't dragged him down, he would have lived.
The girl got up and walked slowly a few steps, but not in the direction of the Witch Temple. At the same time, she heard a small sound in the woods not far away.
The colorful beast that walked out of the shadow of the forest belt made Bai Xiaoran freeze in place, and the bitter fear grabbed her fiercely, thinking that Chen Mo was still nearby, her lifeless eyes widened, and she screamed loudly regardless of it, "Brother Chen Mo, run, run!" ”
As if enraged, the beast opened its bloody jaws and let out a low roar, lunging at her!
Bai Xiaoran knew that even if he ran, there was no point, Suo closed his eyes and waited for death, and the scene of getting along with Chen Mo during this time flashed in his mind, which was bleak and sweet.
Can Brother Chen Mo really run? She suddenly remembered a key point.
There was a muffled bang, Bai Xiaoran opened his eyes, only to see that a figure that had been stabbed obliquely had slammed into the beast with his habitual surname, causing it to fall to the ground on the spot!
The Ares robots are fully recovering from their injuries, and once they are drawn to complete the explosion, their bodies will surely collapse. His own strength was at an unprecedented trough, but Chen Mo now had to stand in front of the beast and have a wild conversation with the other party's claws and fangs with his bare hands.
There was no way back for him.
The beast quickly stood up after being knocked down, and its thick forelimbs fell slightly, pounced on Chen Mo. The extremes of strength and beauty were on display in it, its muscles flowing like mercury as it leaped, and the eyes of its hanging eyes poured with the light of slaughter.
Chen Mo dodged the pounce, followed by a leg kick, kicking the beast's soft abdomen from the bottom up, and actually kicked its behemoth body of more than 500 catties crookedly. The beast roared like thunder, and suddenly turned around and bitten, but was hit in the nose by Chen Mo's heavy punch, and involuntarily shook its big head.
"Brother Chen Mo, watch the back!" Bai Xiaoran shouted, with a faint cry in his voice.
The female beast that quietly came from behind Chen Mo was slightly smaller than the one in front of her, and it also had colorful and beautiful fur, as well as terrifying minions that were formidable to fear. They have always been solitary kings, and they only come together because of the mating period, and there are not many times that they hunt together like this.
The dangerous aura on Chen Mo's body made the female beast feel uneasy, but the bloodthirsty Heavenly Surname still caused it to accelerate its jump and bite the back of the opponent's neck.
Chen Mo had already sensed it, dodged this pounce sideways, and smashed the male beast's nose with another punch. Even with his current physical condition, these two punches made the male beast a little unbearable, he opened his big mouth and bit Chen Mo's arm, just about to shake off his hair, but Chen Mo grabbed its jawbone with his backhand, and forcibly pulled out his arm, and the arm muscles were cut open by the sharp fangs, and the third punch smashed down firmly!
The female beast was far more agile than the male beast, and after a vertical leap, the sharp claws landed on Chen Mo's back, tearing off a large piece of flesh and skin. Chen Mo didn't even look at it, kicked it away with one leg, grabbed the male beast's neck flower skin with one hand, and smashed it down with several punches in a row. One punch is heavier than the other, and one punch is harder than the other.
The male beast was dripping with blood in front of his nose, and finally retreated. The female beast seemed to be intimidated by Chen Mo's wild murderous aura, jumped to the male beast's side, and whimpered low in her throat.
"Stoned you, stoned you!" Bai Xiaoran touched the stones and threw them indiscriminately, limping along, trembling all over, but leaving life and death behind.
The male beast hesitated for a long time at the cold light in Chen Mo's eyes, and then his huge body suddenly turned around and jumped into the forest with the female beast.
Chen Mo couldn't support it anymore, he fell to the sky, and the wound on his back was deep and visible. Bai Xiaoran moved to him, hugged him in his arms, and cried loudly, never giving up the slightest idea of survival.
A few chickadees were alarmed by the beasts that had retreated into the forest, and they fluttered and flew into the air. They soon swept over the mountain, and the land in front of them was vast and flat, and the river was like a belt. Farther away, the farmland is green, and a small village sits by the river, smoke billowing from the river.
A few hours later, Chen Mo and Bai Xiaoran stood on the top of the mountain and saw this beautiful new world.
