Chapter 19: Caught in the swamp
As he spoke, the sword in his hand slashed fiercely, and this slash hit the bush next to him, and several saplings were immediately cut off. There was a milky white thick juice flowing out of it, which was undoubtedly a godsend in Tuoba Yi's eyes. So he stood up happily, picked a big leaf and caught it and was about to hand it to Tuoba Xin'er, "Xin'er, give it, drink quickly." ”
"Thank you, brother. Tuoba Xin'er took it carefully and was about to drink.
"Don't drink it. After observing the surrounding environment, Yexi quickly flipped the blades with one hand.
"What are you doing?" said Tuoba Yi dissatisfied.
"Don't forget that this is the Phoenix Mountain Range, do you dislike how many lives you have, and if you are not sure if there is poison, you can eat it?" Yexi glanced at him and said coldly.
Tuoba Yi was speechless and retorted by her, his face turned red, but he also knew that Yexi was right, and he also realized that he was indeed impulsive just now. Looking back, I couldn't help but sweat coldly, and I almost gave Xin'er a drink just now.
"That'...... So what should we do, we can't go without eating, right?"
"Wait. Yexi caught a glimpse of the bush next to him, and saw a few familiar vines, first picked a wide leaf, and then walked to the bush, and cut down a wooden vine with a knife in his hand. Quickly take out the prepared leaves and catch the clear juice flowing from the wood vine.
"Here, drink. Yexi handed the leaves to Tuoba Xin'er, and said to Qin Feng next to him: "You cut according to the kind of wooden vine I cut just now, which is non-toxic and full of juice. ”
"How do you know it's not poisonous, you haven't tried it. Tuoba Yi took the leaves in Yexi's hand, looked at the clear juice inside, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva, but he didn't dare to eat it.
"If you're scared, you can choose not to drink it. Yexi didn't want to say more, so he went to the side and cut another wooden vine, aimed it to his mouth and drank it.
"Brother, I believe in Yexi, and don't you see that she also drinks. Tuoba Xin'er took the leaves, took a sip, and was surprised after drinking, "Sweet, it's delicious." Yexi, you're so good!"
"It's true, it's sweet, and I'm not hungry anymore. After Qin Feng and the others finished drinking, they couldn't help but admire.
Tuoba Yi was suspicious, cut a wooden vine from the side, drank two sips and couldn't stop, cut several trees in a row, and took some to Tuoba Xin'er.
At this time, the beast tamer beside him sat down beside Qin Feng and said, "This Yexi girl is too powerful, since she entered the Phoenix Mountain Range, she feels like a different person, if she hadn't followed her every day, I would have to wonder if she had been transferred." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Yexi who closed their eyes and recuperated, and couldn't help nodding in agreement with his statement. Indeed, although Yexi was also very cold at the beginning, she would occasionally laugh with Tuoba Xin'er. But since they approached this mountain range, they found that her expression had never been relaxed, and she treated everyone as strict as a mentor along the way, obviously she was only a teenage girl, and she knew so much!
"Alright, let's go, this place is not suitable for a long time. After resting for a while, Qin Feng got up and announced his departure. Judging from past experience, from the forest, especially the dangerous place of the Phoenix Mountains, you must not stay in the same place for a long time.
Yexi suddenly opened her eyes and got up to leave, she knew they would be curious about her changes, but she couldn't say it, and she didn't want to say it. In fact, since she approached the mountain range, she could sense the danger, which was no less dangerous than in the Amazon forest in modern times, and even much more dangerous.
So I began to prepare to go inside, where the bushes were dense and numerous, and the soil under my feet was very soft.
Yexi reminded in a loud voice: "Be careful, don't fall into the swamp." ”
The land from the forest is eroded by rain all year round, and it is humid here, and it is easy to form swamps.
"Shhh As she walked, Yexi's hand brushed over a leaf, and suddenly felt a heart-piercing pain in her arm, she looked down and saw a black worm drilling into it. She pinched its tail and dragged it out, but the worm burrowed harder and harder, and it burrowed into the skin in one fell swoop.
"Nightlight!" exclaimed Tuoba Xin'er.
Yexi didn't answer, she immediately made a decision, took out a dagger and decisively cut off the lump of flesh on her arm, but saw that half of the insect was still struggling in the flesh on the ground, and the other half was still drilling into her arm. A large piece of flesh was missing from his arm, and blood was gurgling down the ground.
Yexi took out a bottle of medicine from the space and sprinkled it on the wound, tearing a strip of cloth from under the hem of her clothes to tie the wound. said to everyone: "Everyone be careful of this ghost, be careful not to rub it." ”
Everyone watched her movements in amazement, not knowing what to say about this terrifying sight. She was so calm and silent throughout the whole process.
Tuoba Yi opened his mouth, but he couldn't make a sound, he really didn't know how to describe it, is she still a woman, how can there be a woman like her?
"Why are you all leaving, why are you stupid?" Yexi took the lead in moving forward.
The air was so humid that the clothes on everyone's bodies didn't know if they were wet with sweat or dew. As he walked, one of the people in the team suddenly let out a scream, and I saw him suddenly fall to the ground, convulsions, and roll his eyes.
"Pillar, what's wrong with you!" the people around him immediately surrounded him nervously.
Yexi stared at him for a while, seeing that he was twitching, the skin on his neck was surging, as if something was happening, and realizing something, Yexi walked over quickly and pulled away the people closest to him.
"Get out of here, don't surround him, he can't be saved. ”
Qin Feng frowned fiercely when he heard this, and the other mercenaries were directly angry, "What are you talking about stupid......"
Before he finished speaking, he saw that the man's body suddenly broke, and a pile of black and white things popped out of it, still squirming, and the man also swallowed. Everyone looked at it, and this was the kind of worm on Yexi's arm just now.
"This insect reproduces very quickly, as long as it burrows into the body, it can multiply hundreds or thousands in a few moments, just like this. Yexi frowned again and explained.
Tuoba brothers and sisters were jumped, looking at his miserable situation, Tuoba Xin'er couldn't stand it and vomited directly. But there was nothing in the stomach, so I had to vomit out all the acid water in the stomach.
Everyone looked at the dead man, and then at Yexi, no wonder she pulled out a dagger and cut off her own flesh just now.
The atmosphere was a little dull in the future, and the mercenaries' eyes were no longer eager to look at Yexi, in short, it was Yexi's words just now that made people unhappy. Although they knew that Yexi had helped them, the dead people were always brothers with them, and Yexi had only been with them for more than half a month.
Yexi knew that they were angry, but she didn't care, she wasn't prepared to have much to do with them.
Until they walked for a long time, it was surprisingly quiet here, they had been walking for a long time since they had just rested, and they had not encountered a demonic beast until now, such a calm was strange, too strange. The Phoenix Mountains are rumored to be so mysterious and dangerous to the outside world, it is impossible to be so quiet, which feels like the calm before the storm.
"Ahh Yexi saw that she was stuck in the mud and couldn't pull her feet out.
"Xin'er!" Tuoba Yi also stepped in because he was nervous, but he couldn't move after just two steps in, and he began to sink slowly, and his movements were so fast that Yexi didn't have time to stop them.
"Save me, save me!" Tuoba Xin'er cried out in fright, "What the hell is this!"
"Childe, Miss!" Qin Feng and the others were also about to go in and pull them.
"Don't move, don't go in again!" Yexi hurriedly stopped. "It's a swamp, it's going to sink. ”
"Xin'er!" Seeing that Tuoba Xin'er had already sunk into half of her body, Tuoba Yi was anxiously red-eyed and kept struggling, but as a result, she fell faster and faster, and in a blink of an eye, she reached the hip position.
"Yexi girl, what should I do?" Qin Feng and the others were also in a hurry, they had never been to the Phoenix Mountain Range, they had never seen such a situation, and they were at a loss for a while.
"Don't struggle, the more you struggle, the faster you will fall. Yexi immediately reminded him. Then he said to Qin Feng and the others: "You use a rope to lasso them and let them pull it themselves." ”
After saying that, he pulled out the sword of a mercenary, went to the side to cut off two large pieces of bark, and cut a few vines from the side.
"What are you doing Yexi, what are you doing with that, quickly find a way to save my sister!" Tuoba Yi saw that Tuoba Xin'er had reached his chest, and he was also under his waist, looking at Yexi who didn't care about them, but instead made some bark, and couldn't help shouting anxiously.
"Nightshade...... Not...... I can't breathe......" Tuoba Xin'er saw that she was about to faint, and softly asked for help.
Qin Feng and the others didn't know what Yexi was going to do, they tried to pull up the Tuoba brothers and sisters with ropes, but they didn't succeed, and they also fell deeper.
Yexi ignored them and continued to do her own thing, she tied the wide bark of the tree to her feet with vines, tried to walk, found that it was okay, and walked directly into the swamp.
"Night girl, ...... you" Qin Feng was about to ask Yexi what he was going to do, he was afraid that she would fall in, but the fact that shocked him happened, she didn't fall down, but walked on the ground on it!
Everyone also had a hellish expression, but she didn't care about Yexi, she walked to Tuoba Xin'er's side, used her occult power to pull Tuoba Xin'er's arm, and held her with both hands like pulling a turnip, and lifted her up in one breath.
He took out the prepared bark and put it on Tuoba Xin'er, and led her out of the swamp.
"Save my brother, Yexi, please!" Tuoba Xin'er came out of the swamp and gasped for breath a few times. Seeing that his brother had sunk into his chest, he pleaded.
rescued Tuoba Xin'er, Yexi asked her to take off the bark, took the bark and looked back at Tuoba Yi, only to see that he also had a hellish expression, and even he didn't know that he had sunk into his chest. So Yexi laughed a little, and turned around and went back to save Tuoba Yi. Just like just now, holding his shoulders with both hands, Cui Dongxuanli pulled up the big radish again.
Covering him with bark, and finally both of them came out of the swamp, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he was plucked as a turnip, Tuoba Yi was not angry, but stared at Yexi vigorously.
