Chapter 542: The Tip of the Arrow
Of course, we didn't forget to take our backpacks with us, and if they did, it would be a big problem.
It didn't take long for us to run to the entrance, grabbing the irons on both sides and climbing up quickly.
In less than a minute, me, Zhao Qiqi, Zhang Qiang, and Situ Cao successfully crawled out of the underground passage.
Just as he wanted to find De Luca's trace, he saw a childish voice next to him.
"Brother, sister, I'm here!"
Looking in the direction from which the voice came, he saw that De Luca was getting up from the bushes and running over.
I took a few steps forward, took De Luca's hand, and just wanted to ask Wang Yi about their situation, but in the next second, Wang Yi and Du Deming's voices came from the riverbank.
"Gao Wei, Qiqi, we're here, you guys hurry up!"
I glanced at Zhang Qiang and Zhao Qiqi, and then hurriedly said, "It's here!" ”
A few people quickly came to the bank of the river again, and saw Wang Yi and a few of them waiting there.
When he saw us coming, he immediately said, "It's still not safe here, they probably will chase after us soon, hurry up and get on the bamboo raft and leave here!" ”
I nodded, and together with Zhang Qiang, we dragged out the bamboo raft we had hidden in the bushes and put it back into the river.
Seeing this, Sammy directly pushed the bamboo pole, and their bamboo raft floated forward first.
A few of us didn't dare to delay, quickly stepped on the bamboo raft, and after confirming that everyone was standing firmly, I quickly propped up the bamboo pole and chased after Wang Yi and them.
As soon as the bamboo raft was rowed out, Zhang Qiang subconsciously looked behind him, but when he saw what was on the shore behind him, his eyes suddenly widened.
"I'll go, Gao Wei! The mercenaries are catching up! Hurry up! ”
As soon as I heard this, a cold sweat suddenly broke out, and I hurriedly sped up the movements of my hands.
But in the next second, I only felt a chill in my back.
A premonition of extreme danger came instantly.
"Not good! Squat down!! ”
I yelled at the crowd and immediately crouched down.
When Zhang Qiang, Zhao Qiqi, and Situ Cao heard this, they also hurriedly squatted down.
Even Du Deming, Wang Yi and others on the bamboo raft in front of them heard my voice.
At the moment when everyone squatted down.
Just listen to a few soft swishing sounds.
Several howitzers rushed towards us with great force.
Fortunately, I was in time to warn, and the howitzers swept over everyone's heads and rushed towards the nearby mountain, and the branches of the trees mixed with stones scattered in all directions.
Smoke and dust are everywhere.
Du Deming glanced behind him, and immediately took out a smoke bomb and threw it at the shore where the mercenaries were chasing.
Seeing this, Zhang Qiang also took out one and threw it towards the shore.
A large amount of white smoke suddenly came out, completely blocking the mercenary's vision.
At the same time, Sammy and I didn't stop rowing, and the raft just floated forward.
There was a constant sound of bullets behind us, but they didn't hit us because of the obstruction of our view.
After a few minutes, we finally drew this branch.
Sammy looked at the mountains on the left and right, then turned the pole to the side, and the raft sped towards the turbulent branch on the left.
I hurriedly propped up the bamboo pole and followed.
About another five or six minutes passed, and the sound of gunfire was no longer heard behind him.
At this point, we entered the river on the left, and the raft went downstream, and I stopped what I was doing.
Looking back, there was no sign of the mercenary behind him.
I exhaled, "It looks like they've given up on tracking. ”
When the others heard this, they all looked back.
"Hey, I finally escaped." Zhang Qiang sighed, looking palpitating.
"Yes, then, as long as we find the last fragment hidden in the Forest of No Return, we can move on to the next place." I also sighed.
Zhao Qiqi smiled faintly, and seemed to be in a good mood.
She turned her gaze to another raft not too far away from us: "Sammy, you should remember the location of those points, right?" When I looked at the map, I saw that the last point seemed to be at the end of the river on the left, do you know how long it would take us to get past this side? ”
Sammy had also stopped moving his hands at this time.
She thought for a moment before turning her head to look in Zhao Qiqi's direction: "If I'm not mistaken, it will take about thirty or forty minutes from here to the end of the river." ”
When I heard this, I immediately said to the others, "Then let's take a good rest on the bamboo raft during this time!" ”
Everyone nodded, then sat down in a corner and began to rest.
Feeling a little relaxed, I smiled, and my eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of the wound on Zhao Qiqi's arm.
"Qiqi, your wound hasn't been bandaged yet, has it? It was so confusing just now that I forgot about it! Saying that, I turned my head to look at Zhang Qiang: "Qiangzi, don't take bandages and alcohol, let Situ bandage Qiqi!" ”
“OK!”
Zhang Qiang responded, and then hurriedly took the things out of his backpack.
"Seventy-seven! Let me see your wounds. Situ Cao took the bandage and alcohol from Zhang Qiang's hand and said softly to Zhao Qiqi.
Zhao Qiqi rolled up his sleeves and looked indifferent: "Actually, it's just a little skin injury, and now the bleeding has stopped, it doesn't matter if it's wrapped up or not." ”
When Situ Cao heard this, his expression suddenly became serious: "Then how can it be done!" In case the wound is infected, this is no joke. Come, let me see! ”
As she spoke, she carefully lifted Zhao Qiqi's arm, and then began to carefully examine the condition of the wound.
Zhang Qiang looked at Zhao Qiqi and Situ Cao, and probed his brain and said, "What, I'm also injured, can you bandage me casually?" ”
"Wait a minute." Situ Cao responded, then looked up at Zhao Qiqi: "Well, it's really just a bruise, I'll eliminate the poison for you, bandage it, and it should be fine in a few days." ”
Soon, she bandaged Zhao Qiqi's wound.
Turning around, Situ Cao began to treat Zhang Qiang's wounds again.
After doing all this, she raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead.
I handed over a tissue: "Good work, let's take a good rest for the rest of the time!" I don't know what will happen to the last fragment where it is hidden. ”
As I spoke, my gaze unconsciously looked ahead.
The fifth potion recipe fragment of the Forest of No Return is hidden, and at the tip of the arrowhead.
What exactly does this arrow, which is made up of five locations, represent?
I sighed at the thought of this.
Never mind!
Whatever it represents, the answer will be revealed soon.
