Chapter 46: Disfigurement

After the tragic death of the first companion, everyone went crazy and struggled to escape. The anesthetic effect of these things is not very strong, the more you struggle, the tighter they wrap around, fortunately, there is a person named Yuan Zhenghai in the team, who is as thin as a bamboo pole, with long fingers, and reached the multi-functional saber on his waist during the struggle, and immediately used the saber to cut off the things on his body.

After cutting off the roots on his body, he began to save others, and a ** white slurry emerged from the severed roots, and as soon as it splashed on the person, it was a hot sting.

Yuan Zhenghai shouted while cutting those roots: "Quick, run to the well." ”

One of them ran to the mouth of the well and shouted, "What if you can't go up without a rope." ”

Fortunately, the well was not deep, and several people immediately thought of a way to build a human ladder.

The first person to be sent up must be a person with relatively strong physical strength, so that after he goes up, he can put a rope to pull others up. So a big guy named Bao Yongzhuan in the team was sent out. This big man, that is, the person we rescued later, as for how the injuries on his body came from, Qiu Huangxi is not very clear. When Bao Yongzhuan was sent out, he did have injuries on his body, and when the mucus from the roots stained the person's body, it would cause something like a blister, which was very painful.

When Bao Yongzhuan went out, there were only some blisters and abrasions on his body, and the bite we saw later was probably what danger he experienced after he went out, but the person was dead, and no one can know what happened at that time.

At first, Bao Yongzhuan was sent out, expecting him to use ropes to save people, but who knows, those roots are as if they are alive, and before everyone takes another human ladder, the roots have been extended, and the wellhead above has been blocked tightly, and the thicker and thicker roots have extended out of the soil.

In desperation, several people were forced to flee for their lives in the cave, and in the process, they found that these ancient wells were connected, and how these holes of different sizes were formed, there is no way to know.

In the process, several people gradually mastered the habits of some of these roots, all of them are hidden deep in the soil of the burrow, the closer to the outside, the finer they are, the smaller the attack power, and only need to light a small torch to drive them away. And the deeper they are buried, the thicker they are, and they are also not afraid of fire, and even like light, and a little fire will attract them to poke out from the depths.

Once you meet those big guys, it's almost a dead end.

In the process of this exploration, the remaining two companions have encountered accidents, and the reason why Qiu Huangxi has survived until now is entirely due to her petite and flexible body. In the process, she stumbled upon the small cave she is in now, and because the cave is surrounded by stones, those roots cannot penetrate it, so it can barely hold on until now.

When I fell, Qiu Huangxi heard the movement, at first she didn't dare to come out to check, but then she couldn't resist the desire in her heart and lit the lighter. For a man who has been trapped underground for days without seeing any other living person, the temptation to hear human movement again is great.

So, Qiu Huangxi finally conquered her fear and found me with a lighter.

I was unconscious, and when she saw me, I was already entangled in the thin roots. Qiu Huangxi didn't dare to light the fire for too long, for fear of luring the big things out, so he quickly cut off the roots of my body and dragged me into this hole.

She didn't say much about the process, but I imagined it and knew that it must be extremely difficult. It must have been very difficult to save myself from being entangled in those things, and at the same time to save me, a man who was completely unconscious.

I hadn't seen anything like that in her mouth, and I just thought it was incredible, was it a plant or an animal? Is there really anything that weird in the world? I remembered what had dragged me down the well before, and I had to believe it. In this way, I am a little worried about Tan Blade and them, but I am now rescued by Qiu Huangxi, knowing the situation in this place, Tan Blade and they don't know anything, what if they also fall into the way?

So I asked, "How long have I been unconscious?" ”

Qiu Huangxi thought for a while and said, "It's probably more than three hours." ”

More than three hours......

Tan Jian and the others should have already discovered that I was missing.

No, I'll have to find a way to get out, and if I go missing, they'll be looking for me, and it's bad if I'm dragged into the well as well.

But the well I just fell down is very deep, and even if I reach the mouth of the well without a rope, how can I get out?

I asked Qiu Huangxi, "How far is this cave from the mouth of the well I just fell from?" ”

Qiu Huangxi said hoarsely: "It's not far, about twenty meters." Are you going to get out of there? No, it's too high. ”

Indeed, at such a high distance, we had no way to go out at all, so we could only wait for someone outside to come and save us. But the people outside don't know about the situation down there, and when they come, they may suffer from it. No, I'll have to find a way to inform them.

I asked Qiu Huangxi, "Do you still have battery on your phone?" ”

After asking, I felt like I was too idiot, if the phone could communicate, they wouldn't be trapped here. Sure enough, Qiu Huangxi said: "Underground, the signal is very low, the phone can't go out, and now there is no power." ”

I couldn't help but sigh, in the darkness, we curled up in a ball, fell silent for a while, and then, I heard a gurgling sound, it was my stomach barking. Of course, the voice didn't come from me, it should have come from Qiu Huangxi, and I thought that she shouldn't have eaten for a long time.

I then carefully leaned sideways, took out a ham sausage from my pocket and handed it to her, I felt Qiu Huangxi stunned for a moment, and then snatched the ham sausage from my hand like a hungry tiger pounced on food, followed by the sound of the package being torn, and then gobbling it up.

It seems that after she rescued me, she didn't search me, otherwise she should have found out a long time ago.

After a few moments, she finished eating, her voice seemed to be a little stronger, and she asked me, "Why do you have all this stuff with you?" I understand what she means, in addition to the things in the equipment bag, the general outdoor adventurer will also carry some food in the small bag on the body, mostly some high-energy compressed food, to prevent accidents from being used.

Normal people, even if they bring unpalatable energy bars, they will not bring ham sausages.

I didn't answer her question, the reason why I developed this habit was because of an experience when I was a child, but that experience was really not good, and I didn't bother to talk about it. Qiu Huangxi saw that I didn't speak, so she didn't ask more.

After staying in the dark for a while, I felt that I couldn't sit still like this, so I said to Qiu Huangxi: "If it doesn't work like this, I'll go out and inquire to see if there is any other way." "After all, everything I heard just now was something that Qiu Huangxi dictated, and many things still have to be experienced by myself to know.

I pulled out the lighter and was about to go out, and then at that moment, Qiu Huangxi grabbed my hand again.

She just clung to it, but didn't say anything.

I didn't know what she meant for a while, and then, Qiu Huang said, "Open it." She motioned for me to light the lighter.

I didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd, so I lit the lighter. This lighter is Han Xu's windproof lighter, after leaving the ghost market at that time, the situation was too tense, so I forgot to return it to him for a while, and now it can be regarded as coming in handy.

It dawned on me that a good lighter is actually quite important.

However, the moment the fire lit up, I saw a scene that made me scream.

It's a face, a face with potholes and liquid flowing out of the surface.

It's autumn......

Oh, my God.

In the moment of yelling, I covered my mouth with my other hand.

That face was almost invisible, and at first glance in the darkness, it was even more terrifying than a ghost.

Taking a deep breath, I forced myself to compose.

At this time, a wry smile appeared on Qiu Huangxi's extremely ugly face, and then her head was lowered and she said, "Are you still going to go out?" That's how my body was ruined. As she spoke, she raised her hand, and there were many bubbles of various sizes on her hands, as if they had been scalded by water.

The bubbles were fresh, and the wounds on her face were supposed to have formed after the bubbles had burst, about a few days ago.

For a moment, I didn't even know what to say.

After a moment, I stared at the new wound on her hand and said with difficulty: "Did you get it to save me?" ”

Qiu Huang pulled the corners of his mouth, ugly as a ghost: "There are enough injuries on my body, I don't care about adding a little." Then, she relaxed her body, stared blankly at the flame of the lighter in my hand, and suddenly said, "I have a way to let you out." ”

The topic became so fast that I didn't react for a while.
