Chapter Ninety-Five: Survival on an Island
Buried all the difficulties in their sleep, without sentry and without any defense, Qiu Xin and the others spent a peaceful night and woke up to the sound of the water.
Kong Xiangyu said that he would first go and investigate the surroundings to see if there was anything missing, and Qiu Xin took advantage of this gap to bandage the wounds of the two Dao Bashi Weihu.
Qiu Xin tore his clothes into strips of cloth, washed them in the lake water, steamed them dry with true qi, and then washed Shi Weihu's wounds, releasing all the meridians from his left shoulder to his arm, and then bandaged them tightly.
If the meridians are sealed to block the blood at this time, then the blood will not circulate for a long time, and Shi Weihu's wound will worsen, and it is likely that one arm will be destroyed.
The injury suffered by Daohachi was not so serious, it was only a skin injury, and it did not hurt the inside, and after a night's rest, it was no longer a major problem.
At this time, Kong Xiangyu had already returned, and the three of them stood up together, Kong Xiangyu shook his head when he saw this, "There is still no gain, I want to go out, but I am afraid that I will have to go through this forest." ”
This is also expected by a few people, but it is much better than yesterday's situation, at least a few people still have the strength to try again.
I don't know if it was because a few people were too tired yesterday, or because the sun was too strong today, the scene around the forest always gave Qiu Xin a strange feeling, looking at the footprints he stepped on the ground, the dead branches of the destroyed trees, and the grass and trees that were pressed down.
And looking around, the place where he was standing turned out to be a flat land, and there were no trees around it, and this place was more like a passage, and if you walked along this passage, you would enter the depths of the five senses.
None of this is a problem, it stands to reason that since the Dark Forest is located downstream of the Canghai Lan Lake, the forest must be bordered by other places, and as long as you walk along the junction of the lake and the forest, you will definitely be able to get out.
But looking at it, there was nothing else except the tall and dark trees around, according to what Dao Ba and Kong Xiangyu said, when they came to the end, they saw this kind of scene.
What's even more strange is that in such a huge and wide lake, all the water is pouring into this place, so there must be a hidden passage that drains the water, so as long as you find this secret passage, you will definitely be able to escape from here along the stream.
Seeing Qiu Xin's strange behavior, Dao Eight spoke, "Brother Qiu, is there anything wrong?"
Dropping the soil in his hand, Qiu Xin said, "Judging by the destruction of these trees, the giant snake must have rested here, if it inhabits the forest, then with the size of the giant snake's body, there will definitely be a passage to other places, but we didn't encounter this kind of passage yesterday." ”
"Could it be that we can't see it, we can't be sure just by feeling...... Shi Weihu also pondered, listened to Qiu Xin's words, and said.
"No, yesterday when I went into the depths, I would touch a tree every few steps, and the serpent would not be able to accommodate it. Kong Xiangyu also felt that what Qiu Xin said was reasonable, and looked around carefully.
Hearing this, Qiu Xin continued, "So it seems that the giant snake's lair may not be here, so where will it go? And what's even more strange is that the water of the entire Canghai Lan Lake is poured here, so where does all this water go? And don't you think the whole forest is a little surprisingly big?"
Qiu Xin asked three questions in a row, which made Dao Ba and the three of them suddenly quiet, and suddenly, Kong Xiangyu raised his head and said in surprise, "Should you ......be here?"
Then, Dao Eight and Shi Weihu said in unison, "It's an island!"
Qiu Xin also felt that this was the only explanation, the forest and the lake were endless, and there was no exit along the shore, so it must be an island, so it would be meaningless to enter the middle of the forest.
Several people were taken aback by this result, but it was even more difficult to leave the island, and then Kong Xiangyu spoke, "It is clear about the direction of the water, although it seems to have entered here, it must have flowed back from the depth of the water and returned to its original place. ”
Hearing this, Shi Weihu suddenly waved his hand, which touched the wound, causing him to grin in pain, and at the same time said, "Then let's follow these poured waters, and return to the shore." ”
Kong Xiangyu sighed, "Due to the temperature difference between the surface of the water and the bottom of the water, the inland lake will form a cycle in the opposite direction, but we cannot withstand the pressure of the water and the ground, and more importantly, if we want to return to the shore, we need to stay under the water all the time. ”
Shi Weihu lowered his head in frustration again, and said directly, "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what do you want?"
Qiu Xin also thought about it carefully, there was no way, so he said, "In this case, it is not a way for us to stay here any longer, it is better to go to other places first." ”
Hearing this, Dao Eight glanced at Qiu Xin with a complicated expression, and said, "According to what Brother Qiu said, maybe the water flow in other places will be a little smoother." ”
Qiu Xin really didn't want to stay here for a moment, maybe something would happen again, and the experience of these days made him very uneasy.
After that, several people had no objections, Kong Xiang picked up Shan Sanniang's body again and walked along the shore of the woods.
Indeed, as a few people guessed, it took three hours to get out of this awkward opening, and it took a full three hours to turn around and return here, but the water flow around was not particularly gentle, and it seemed to be more urgent.
However, when they arrived at the same place, they unexpectedly met Li Ling'er and Luo Sheng, but Xu Ziming and Qin Tianzhu did not know where to go, it seems that the two were also rushed here, but for some reason, they were slow for a day.
Shi Weihu's face changed immediately when he saw a few people, while Li Ling'er and a few people were exhausted at this time, sitting on the shore, and when they saw Shi Weihu and a few people, they were even more desperate.
Kong Xiangyu slowly put down Shan Sanniang's body, his face was pale, and he walked towards Li Ling'er, Luo Sheng was about to block it, but was kicked away by Kong Xiangyu.
A hand reached directly to Li Ling'er's neck and lifted her up, Li Ling'er was already very weak and had no power to resist, and her face was originally pale and red because of weakness.
Her legs and feet kept struggling, her hands kept beating on Kong Xiangyu's arms, and she shed tears in fear, but Kong Xiangyu was not soft-hearted at all, and Li Ling'er was about to die of anger when she saw it.
Qiu Xin didn't stop it, she turned her face away directly, and no longer looked at her, the resentment in the hearts of Dao Ba and several people, even if Li Ling'er died, it would be difficult to calm down.
At this time, Luo Sheng's eyes turned rapidly, thinking about how to save her, he didn't expect Kong Xiangyu to kill the killer without saying a word, but at this time, all words were pale.
Suddenly, Luo Sheng struggled to stand up and said slowly, "Aren't you afraid of the anger of the Canglan Sect?"
"Fuck your bullshit, what is the Canglan faction, if you kill someone, you will pay for your life. Shi Weihu was furious, to this point, Luo Sheng also tried in vain to suppress people as Li Ling'er.
Luo Sheng watched Li Ling'er's blood vessels in her neck bulge, her struggling movements slowed down, and said anxiously, "I am willing to die for my junior sister, and please let her go." ”
"Fuck your shit, do you think we'll let you go?" Shi Weihu was already irritated because he couldn't get out of here, and he was even more angry when he heard Luo Sheng's words.
Luo Sheng saw that Shi Weihu and the others did not eat oil and salt, and Li Ling'er's breath gradually weakened, and his eyes were desperate and afraid.
Luo Sheng gritted his teeth and shouted loudly, "If you want to get out of here, let my junior sister go." At this time, if he has any reservations, Li Ling'er's life is on the line.
Hearing this, Kong Xiangyu threw Li Ling'er aside, grabbed Luo Sheng, and said fiercely, "What did you say?" Qiu Xin and several people also surrounded him.
Seeing this, Luo Sheng knew that several people were worried about this matter, and finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You let me go first." Kong Xiangyu finally let go of his hand slowly.
Li Ling'er finally gasped for breath at this time, coughing loudly, Luo Sheng helped her, and while caressing her back, he said, "I have a way to escape from here." ”
Shi Weihu was even more anxious, and at this time he was furious, and said, "Say something quickly, and then grind and chirp, even if we can't get out of here, we will kill the two of you." ”
Luo Sheng was not afraid at all, he was sure that Qiu Xin and the others would definitely not kill themselves in order to get out of here, and did not answer Shi Weihu's words.
When Li Ling'er finally recovered, Luo Sheng said, "Don't worry, I think someone will pick us up after a while." ”
Kong Xiangyu frowned, and said sharply, "You dare to lie to us, when we jumped into the water together, how did you inform the others, who will come on this isolated island?"
Hearing this, Qiu Xin said, "Could it be that the two disciples who were with you have already gone back?"
Li Ling'er's voice was a little hoarse, and she said, "It's all because you attracted the gray-clothed man to cause Senior Brother Xu and Senior Brother Qin to die, do you still expect them to come and save you?"
Shi Weihu was about to step forward when he heard this, but was pulled by Qiu Xin, and then said, "Don't you think it's a loss for the girl's words? If you want to snatch the horses first, will so many things happen?"
Li Ling'er snorted coldly when she heard this, "If you had handed over the horses earlier, the mother-in-law would not have ......" seemed to realize something, and Li Ling'er didn't continue to speak.
Qiu Xin didn't know how to reason with her, but she blamed herself for all her mistakes, and she didn't know how the Canglan faction could tolerate her.
If Shi Weihu and the others hadn't wanted to leave here, they would have killed her a long time ago, and then Luo Sheng said, "Before we met you, we met a disciple in the sect, and the senior sister disappeared for a few days, and the master would definitely send someone to find her." ”
As soon as this remark came out, it further confirmed Qiu Xin's guess, the death of the two people from Northern Xinjiang must have been committed by the Canglan faction, Qiu Xin and Dao Ba glanced at each other, did not pierce it, and waited for Luo Sheng to continue.
"Now if you want to kill your sister again, don't try to escape from here. Luo Sheng is now fearless, and after speaking, he sat aside directly and rested with Li Ling'er.
