Chapter 273: Worm Blood
When everyone returned to the location where the blood mushroom was found, the mushrooms and millipedes on the ground had all disappeared, but at the same time, a pool of blue liquid appeared in the vicinity in an extremely dense manner......
"What's this sticky blue liquid!?" Zhang Kai said with a disgusted face.
At this time, Forging Feng drew his saber, pulled it a few times in a puddle of blue liquid on the ground, and said, "This should be the blood ...... of those millipedes just now."
When he heard this, Zhang Kai was surprised and said, "Those bugs can't have exploded on the spot after eating blood mushrooms, right?!" ”
Yuan Muye shook his head and said, "How is this possible, they should have been eaten by something......
"Fortunately, we ran fast just now," Huo Ran said with a look of regret......
Huang Zongyi and his party were also taken aback by the scene in front of them, it was not that they had not encountered some strange creatures when they had been exploring caves before, but it was the first time that there were so many millipedes and behaved so strangely like this time.
That blue liquid has been stretching for a long time, just as Yuan Muye had guessed before, that kind of blood mushroom has grown in all the places where blood is dripping, and it will naturally attract this kind of big insect with a heavy taste.
"What are these bugs going to eat?" Huo Ran asked Yuan Muye in a low voice.
Yuan Muye shook his head when he heard this and said, "Who knows? But what is certain is that there is a huge disparity in strength between the two of them, and the things that can eat these insects must be much bigger than them......"
Huo Ran couldn't help but shudder after hearing this, to be honest, those bugs had already stimulated his nerves as soon as they crawled out, if there was something more disgusting than millipedes...... It is estimated that when he goes out, he should be able to "avoid all poisons".
After everyone confirmed that there were indeed no millipedes on this road, they continued to walk in the direction they had turned back before, and the blue liquid disappeared completely after returning there.
Yuan Muye looked around at this time, and when he was sure that this was indeed the place they had just turned back, he said in a deep voice, "I really don't see any forks in the road here, which will make us deviate from the direction when we go back......
After hearing this, Huang Zongyi said with an ugly face, "Even if it wasn't deviated from here, it definitely wouldn't be on the road just now, because those blue liquids were placed there, which proves that it was the road we walked before, otherwise where would the blood mushrooms come from?" ”
As soon as Yuan Muye heard Huang Zongyi mention the Blood Mushroom, he immediately fell into deep thought, it stands to reason that Fan Jinxiao was injured after they crossed the river, so he should have started bleeding soon after.
It's a pity that they didn't notice the blood on the ground when they went back and forth, otherwise they would have been able to find the underground river smoothly. But it's too late to say anything now, the blood stains have turned into blood mushrooms, and those blood mushrooms have been eaten up by those millipedes.
Seeing that Yuan Muye was silent, Forging Feng asked him what he wanted? Yuan Muye told him his thoughts at this time. After hearing this, Forging Feng thought for a while and said, "That is to say, we should deviate from the direction after Fan Jinxiao stopped bleeding?" ”
Yuan Muye shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, because in the process of walking back, Fan Jinxiao's wound was still oozing blood, and Yuan Yuan also threw blood gauze all the way, so there is no way to know where the correct route and the wrong route coincide and where they separate." ”
Huang Zongyi listened to it for a while, then interjected, "So you mean that the problem is in this way?" ”
Yuan Muye looked back at him, then nodded and said, "Yes, there must be something that confuses our eyes and leads us in the wrong direction......"
When Huang Zongyi heard this, he said anxiously, "Then what are you waiting for?" Let's hurry back the way we came, and before the blue liquid of those disgusting people disappears, we can look carefully on this road! ”
After hearing this, Yuan Muye looked at Fan Jinxiao, whose face was getting paler and paler, and said, "I think Xiao Fan may be a little unable to hold on!" ”
Huang Zongyi said helplessly when he heard this, "If you can't hold on, you have to persevere, otherwise if you continue like this, there will only be a dead end!" After he finished speaking, he untied his water bottle, then went over to feed Fan Jinxiao a few mouthfuls of water and said, "Jin Xiao, you have to grit your teeth and persevere, we are going back now all for you, you have to make our decision worthwhile!" ”
Fan Jinxiao nodded slowly after hearing this, he wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say, Yuan Muye could see that his mind was a little unturned now.
At this time, Forging Feng glanced at his watch and said, "Xiao Fan's shoulders can't be tied like this all the time, and they must be loosened at the right time, otherwise this arm may die after a long time." ”
After he finished speaking, he was about to come over and loosen the tourniquet under Fan Jinxiao's armpit, Yuan Muye saw it and said busily, "Wait first...... Which of you has a plastic bag on you? I was afraid that if the tourniquet was loosened, his wound would bleed. ”
As soon as Yuan Yuan heard this, she walked over and said, "I have a sealed bag and gauze here, don't worry, I won't let blood splash on the ground!" ”
After that, Forging Feng helped Fan Jinxiao loosen the tourniquet, while Yuan Yuan was responsible for catching the blood dripping from his wound...... It stands to reason that it has been more than an hour since the entire arm was tied with a tourniquet, and such a small wound should have coagulated automatically.
But the moment Forging Feng released the tourniquet, the small wound on Fan Jinxiao's hand seemed to be leaking, and a column of blood the thickness of a toothpick rushed out at once, so frightened that Yuan Yuan immediately put his entire palm into the sealed bag.
As soon as everyone saw this situation, they immediately understood that this blood would never stop, and if Fan Jinxiao wanted to live, he had to leave here before his body reached the limit of blood loss......
After a short period of active blood, Forging Feng tightened the tourniquet again, and the wound on Fan Jinxiao's hand gradually stopped bleeding, even if it didn't take a minute before and after, dozens of milliliters of Fan Jinxiao's blood were still left in the sealed bag.
After dealing with Fan Jinxiao's wounds, the group set off again, this time along the blue blood stains on the ground, hoping to find the correct route to the underground river on this road.
This time each of them looked carefully, but unfortunately when they walked back to the other end of the road again, they still didn't find any forks in the road or holes that could cause them to deviate.
