"Will it be okay?" I asked anxiously.

Kong Ze waved his hand at me, and said uncertainly: "It's not fatal, it's just that I'm afraid of toxic invasion, so it's over." I'll get water for him first, and if he can carry it for 24 hours and there is no high temperature and fever, he will be fine. ”

As he spoke, the men sent out had already brought two buckets of water out of a small side door, they must have been experienced, and when they came to Kong Xian, they directly splashed two buckets of water, and then two more buckets came out and splashed again.

Kong Xian's hand clenched into a fist, and there was a muffled sound in his mouth, presumably this process was very painful, coupled with the low temperature and cold water, this piercing feeling, I shuddered when I thought about it.

Seven or eight buckets of water were splashed on it, and almost all of our area was soaked with water, and these people stopped.

I still had some bandages and anti-inflammatory drugs in my bag, and as soon as they stopped, I immediately took out a towel quilt that I was going to use overnight, helped Kong Xian wipe the blood and water off his body, and then carefully helped him to reduce inflammation and bandage. When I was done, I carried him to a dry place and wrapped him in a blanket and held him in my arms.

His body was very cold, shivering vigorously, if he didn't hurry up and find a place to make a fire, it would be strange if he didn't have a fever. But now that the situation is urgent, I have no choice but to open my coat and wrap the two of us tightly together with a blanket, so that Kong Xian can absorb a trace of warmth in my arms. Then lean slightly against the wall behind me so that he could lie on my arms and avoid the pressure on the wound on his back.

Kong Ze's side was already ready, and more than a dozen flame cannons were lined up, spraying flames majestically towards the surging monsters not far away.

I was simply blown away by what I saw, the orange-red flames glowing with blue light, as gorgeous as the special effects in a science fiction movie. The temperature of the flames drove away half of the severe cold here, and Kong Xian's trembling weakened a lot.

I looked at Kong Ze, who was standing in front of me, and asked incredulously, "When did you get such a cool thing?" Or was it put here a long time ago, just to deal with these things? ”

"It's been here for a long time, and this thing has been tinkering with for decades, and it's a cultural relic." Kong Ze looked at the battlefield and replied.

After he finished speaking, I went to look at the flame cannon, and sure enough, its craftsmanship and techniques were very old, and it looked like something from decades ago, but there were some improvements on it, and some traces of repair. However, the craftsmanship of the repair master is obviously good, the color of the selected material is almost the same as the body, and the polishing and polishing are also very detailed, and it is difficult to find the traces of repair without careful observation.

"In other words, haven't you been dealing with this monster for a day or two?" I asked Kong Ze again.

He nodded and said, "This kind of thing, we call it human-faced bamboo, because it looks like bamboo, but it has a human face." It existed a long time ago, but how did it come about? We don't know, they have a habit of liking the dark, so they only live in this underground ancient city, and they won't go outside to make trouble.

Listening to him, my eyes looked at the battlefield, and I saw that the man was defeated by the fire cannon, and in only a minute or two, the ground was full of ashes and wreckage, and it was estimated that there were already one or twenty dead under the flame cannon.

Some of the others are still rushing forward to the death, and it will not be willing to kill us, even if it is a moth to the fire, it must be heroic and righteous, it is really a hero in the face of the bamboo. But a large number of human-faced bamboos were still quite sensible, and seeing that they had the upper hand, they began to run backwards.

This flame cannon is simply their perfect nemesis, and it is estimated that in only five minutes, the crowd of human-faced bamboos will almost disappear.

"Sss I sighed and asked Kong Ze, "Then since you have this way to deal with them, why don't you eliminate them?" Keeping them here to thrive, sooner or later they will be too numerous for you to resist, don't you worry that they will wipe you out? ”

After I finished speaking, Kong Ze shook his head and explained: "There are two reasons, the first is that this thing has the function of protecting the ancient city, so our ancestors felt that it was still valuable to keep it. Another thing is that these things reproduce very quickly, and the females hardly come out to fight, and usually stay in secret nests, and in the spring and autumn, they can give birth to hundreds of young sons per female. ”

"Young son?" As soon as I imagined the scene of human faces and bamboos all over the floor, I felt sick to my stomach, and almost induced my intensive phobia, which was due to my good stomach, otherwise I would have had to take out the dinner I had eaten a week ago. He quickly stuck out his tongue and asked, "Then why don't you move the cannon to their lair?" How happy it is to serve it directly in a nest. ”

As soon as I finished asking this question, Kong Xian in his arms raised his eyelids and looked at me like a fool. I thought about it, and I did think that I was a bit stupid to ask this question, obviously everyone said that this thing can help him protect the ancient city, so naturally there is no need to bother to serve other people's nests. I had to touch my nose and laugh twice to forcibly resolve the embarrassment.

However, after I asked, Kong Ze didn't think this question was redundant, he still pointed to the fire cannon over there with a serious face and said: "This thing is too large, it is very difficult to move, plus it requires a lot of gunpowder, and when it really reaches their nest, I don't know how many people are guarding and guarding them, and it is impossible for us to kill them all." ”

I thought this was the truth, so I nodded, no longer dwelling on it.

It didn't take long for the bamboos around us to disappear completely, leaving only the bones that had been burned to ashes scattered to the ground.

With their disappearance, the air around us still feels much warmer even though the cannons no longer shoot flames, all because of the seasonal temperature differences.

Kong Ze's men quickly moved the flame cannon back into the corner, and then asked us to set off to continue our journey.

I disagreed, and my heart said: You have to have a time to recover when you play games, right? This is not the old society, which did not exploit labor so much. Now my foot can almost move a step to make me gasp, plus the injuries on Kong Xian's body are not suitable for movement, it is too dangerous to go on the road like this, no matter what, I have to rest for ten hours, so that the wound on my body can heal as much as possible.

Kong Ze looked at the miserable state of the two of us, frowned and thought for a moment, but still chose to compromise. He sighed helplessly and said, "Go back to their restaurant and rest, and don't be in a hurry for a while." ”

I sighed that this guy was still a little human, and when I saw that he took a step back, I didn't say anything more, so I supported each other with Kong Xian, got up from the ground, and followed them in the direction of the restaurant.

When we returned to the restaurant with difficulty, we saw Mo Ranchen and them lying on the window with concern. I waved at them and beckoned them to help.

Lin Su didn't run as fast as the two of them, but he was the most anxious one. As soon as he came around, he was worried about the two of us, and kept asking me if I was okay.

I didn't have too many wounds on my body, only some of the parts that I accidentally touched with the human face were corroded and some dented damage, which was not a big problem, the only serious thing was this foot.

Seeing that Lin Su was so anxious, I hugged her with a smile and said jokingly: "It's still our family Susu who cares about me, you look at these big old men, they are like the locust tree, and the pestle doesn't squeak there." ”

Lin Su hurriedly waved his hand after hearing me, his face was slightly red and said, "No, they are also worried, but they just didn't say it." ”

After Mo Ranchen came down, he directly picked up Kong Xian and walked upstairs, Liu Yang came over to help me, as soon as he heard Lin Su say this, he quickly waved his hand and said, "How can we be worried?" Don't you see who our little brother is? It's not the first time you've seen how tenacious her vitality is, I estimate that when the universe explodes, our earth will be blown to pieces, and she will be able to live for thirty or fifty years if she floats to outer space. ”

I was about to say a few words to him, so that he could be kind to me, a sick person, and not to irritate me. Unexpectedly, after Liu Yang finished speaking, Kong Xian, who was lying on Mo Ranchen's back, snorted coldly without looking back, and said: "No matter how big the mission is, if you don't cherish it, if you like to die, there will always be a day when you lose it." ”

I snorted and glared at the back of his head, wanting to scold him for being ungrateful, but after thinking about it, I endured it. Originally, he had already offended his old man when he chose one person to survive, and if these two sentences were scolded, he would probably have endured the pain and turned around and slapped me. After weighing, I had to touch my chest and sigh in my heart: Alas, I can't afford to provoke it,

However, after Kong Xian finished speaking, Liu Yang also coaxed: "Yes, little brother, you are too impulsive, look at the one who harmed our Jin Ye, I guess if it weren't for you, he wouldn't have been able to do this." ”

As soon as his voice fell, Lin Su followed up again: "Mu Mu, what Jin Ye said is right, don't toss anymore, you really can't stand this foot." ”

As she spoke, I saw Kong Ze next to me glancing at me, and there was a look in his eyes that he thought I was in the way. I sighed helplessly, so I had to smile with a smile, nodded and joked: "This is indeed my recklessness today, causing us such a big loss, I sincerely apologize to the leaders, I hope that the leaders will not care about the villain, and this matter will not be talked about." ”

After hearing this, a few of them twisted their heads to the side and laughed secretly, and a few of Kong Ze's subordinates couldn't help laughing. Thankfully, they didn't continue the conversation.

When we arrived on the third floor of the restaurant, we didn't go back to the room we went to before, Mo Yanchen led us into a bedroom. This bedroom looks very luxurious, the bed in the middle has to be two meters wide, and the four sides are surrounded by gauze curtains, and the wadding hanging on the curtains are very delicate and luxurious. If I'm not mistaken, it's likely that the owner of the restaurant lives in his own room.

Kong Xian and I were placed on this two-meter-wide bed, and Kong Xian strongly asked Lin Su to help me sew up the wound on my ankle. I was afraid of pain, so I refused, I said it before, and now I really want to sew it up for me, there is no anesthetic, this is different from the ten tortures of the Manchu Dynasty?
