Chapter 886 The Antidote
After hearing Jordan's words, Fang Linyan was taken aback and said:

"Go back now? Back to your canyon camp? It's going to be dark soon, it's a bit far."

Jordan shook his head and said:

"Don't bother, just go to Yanchi."

Hearing what she said, Fang Linyan breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Okay, let's take you there."

Jordan knew that human machines are very powerful in long-distance transportation, so she didn't refuse, and when she left, she also explained a few words to her tribe, nothing more than cleaning the battlefield so as not to cause trouble.

When leaving, you can see that the centaur outside was very active and careful when cleaning the battlefield.

Many things that Fang Linyan and the others considered to be completely rubbish were picked up by these people as treasures, even half a piece of tattered animal skin and the like, which shows the normal life of the Magram centaur clan. It is also quite embarrassing, and the living materials should be quite scarce.

At this time, knowing that Jordan was going to go there, two centaurs accompanied him, and brought some of the spoils that had been sorted out.

Bai Ruide obviously also realized the importance of this group of centaur allies, and was obviously unwilling to let Fang Linyan and others monopolize such resources, and said:
"Well, Spanner, you go with Jordan, Vulture and Goat stay and do me a favor, and I'll send Ali to do chores for you."

Ali is a black man who looks very strong and can be called a typical muscular stick.

Well, if you want to use a reference to describe it, the famous NBA fashionista, the famous selfless player, the famous team player, and the famous rebounder Wesker Brusk are almost his template.

Ali smiled at Fang Linyan, showing his big white teeth.

"Please take care of me."

Fang Linyan nodded and said:
"Small things."

Next, in order to save people, Fang Linyan drove the all-terrain vehicle very fast, and in about an hour, he drove to the vicinity of the Yanchi camp of the Magram centaur clan.

The specific location of the salt pond is located in an underground rift, it is very hidden, there are only seven or eight tents, big and small, and the tents look even more dusty, at least from the outside, they look dirty and broken.

However, beside the salt pond, there are still a lot of shrubs and grasses, probably because of genetic problems, so the saline-alkali land, which makes it difficult for ordinary plants to take root, is like fertile soil to them, growing very well and lush.

These plants are salt-secreting plants, also known as salt-expelling plants, which are very similar to human sweating and excrete salt from the body.

The plants here include willow spoon leaf grass, mangrove, petal scale flower, etc. They grow in the soil with more salt content, and the plants absorb a lot of salt, but the salt does not accumulate in the body.Instead, it secretes salt glands through the salt-spitting structure on the surface of the leaves to excrete excess salt from the body to prevent excessive salt accumulation from causing harm.

Centaurs are specially assigned to collect the salt secreted from the leaves of these plants, and sell them as high-quality goods. At the same time, they strictly protect the salt-spitting plants, only allowing them to reproduce nearby, and pulling out all the other plants. .

In addition, there were seven or eight large wooden stakes around, and Fang Linyan didn't know what they were for a while.

It is obvious that the Magram centaur clan has always kept observation posts in such a treasure land of geomantic omen, so when Fang Linyan and the others approached, there were already five or six centaurs waiting in line, holding the spears in their hands tightly, and it seemed that if they disagreed with each other, they would be killed. open dry.

However, when Jordan and two centaurs carrying large and small bags appeared, these centaurs approached excitedly, and even raised their spears while counting the spoils, and issued a Excited "yo ho ho ho ho" sound.

In this situation of high morale, Jordan said that he wanted to prepare herbal medicine, and immediately got a positive response from the group, and everyone started working immediately.

Because the all-terrain vehicle that came had some minor faults on the road, Fang Linyan immediately carried out maintenance after parking.

After he repaired it, it had been almost half an hour, so he wandered around curiously.

At this time, it was dark, and a bonfire had been lit in the center of the camp ahead of time. In a surrounding tent, there were two female centaurs lying on their stomachs. They were wrapped in black straw turbans and dressed similarly to Jordan. They were looking at some freshly collected Herbs are processed.

After taking a second look, Fang Linyan realized that the processing procedure is quite simple. Almost all fruit-like herbs are shelled, dried, placed in special jars, and then fumigated with fire. Some plant-like herbs are separated from their roots. , smashed and squeezed out the juice inside, and poured it into the bamboo tube next to it for preservation.

And there is also a witch doctor in this tribe. The witch doctor is an old man who is treating an injured centaur.

Although Fang Linyan had no chance to talk to him, judging from the way the witch doctor treated the wounded and muttered words, it seemed that Jordan was more reliable.

It is worth mentioning that the two centaurs that the witch doctor is treating have just returned from the outside. They went out on patrol with a reconnaissance mission, but they encountered a small detachment of the evacuated Kyrgyz tribe and managed to escape. return.

As a result, the witch doctor could only save one of them, and the other centaur died of serious injuries without waiting for the witch doctor's rescue.

Faced with the death of their companion, the rest of the people did not show too much sadness, but two people lifted it to the meadow not far away, facing a "big wooden stake" that Fang Linyan had seen before forward.

The witch doctor walked to the side of the "big wooden stake" and began to circle around it while humming a sad-sounding song.

Only then did Fang Linyan realize that the big stake looked like some kind of plant.

Its trunk is thick and round, and it looks like a big wine vat from a distance. Its diameter has reached an astonishing half a meter, but it is generally not high. With the protruding small thorns, the density of the small thorns can keep pace with the prickly pear.

While the witch doctor was circling around, a centaur came out with a basin and watered it towards the root of the "big wooden pile". After the water was poured down, the top of the thing began to slowly stretch out Lots of tendrils.

In just ten minutes, it changed from a short, thick wooden pile to a pot lid shape like a radar antenna. Of course, the crown above it was composed of countless dense and tough tendrils.

According to Jordan's introduction next to it, the plant is called "Dolankar", and there is a beautiful story:

Legend has it that "Dolankar" was gifted to the centaur by the god Thora, and what Fang Linyan saw at this time was just a seedling.

In the heyday of the tribe, there was a mature plant of Dolankar, which can enjoy the shade under its huge tree shade, and its nourishing fruits and branches have medical effects. It's the same as the "upside-down tree" on the head.

Immediately afterwards, I saw the dead Magram centaur being sent to the top of the tendril tree of Dolankar, and then tightly wrapped by those tentacles-like leaves.

As the dead were sent into it, all the centaurs beside them also began to sing the elegy, which sounded like the elegy from the elves, with long sorrow and solemnity, and the hoarseness was full of a primordial flavor.

As the singing sounded, Fang Linyan could feel a little sadness, and there were layers of strange ripples on Dolankar's bark, which seemed both unreal and real.

It is said that it only takes one day and one night for the fallen warrior to be absorbed by this magical plant without even leaving ashes.

Jordan told Fang Linyan that this is the funeral ceremony of their centaurs.The centaur tribe respects nature, and the funerals in the tribe are held by witch doctors, and the spells are handed down by shamans, which can help the dead return to the embrace of Mother Earth.

After the dead are turned into the nutrients of the trees, their souls can be redeemed, and the witch doctor who cast the spell is his herbal teacher.

Centaurs respect the deceased and believe that the body should not be insulted, otherwise their souls will not be able to rest in peace, and even after death they will not have the opportunity to reincarnate in the next life.

From this point of view, Dolankar is like a centaur body transformation factory, not only providing them with precious medicinal materials, but also giving them religious beliefs.

And precisely because of the special relationship between the centaur and Dolankar, whenever the centaur sees this kind of thick and thick tree, they will feel a touch of respect in their hearts, just like seeing old friends and ancestors who have passed away. Let them treat the tree like a family member.

Next, Jordan cut a knife on Dolankar's bark, and immediately found some thick juice flowing out of it. The key point is that this juice can still shine with a faint phosphorescence, which looks very strange.

Jordan also let out a sigh of relief:
"Whether your companions can be rescued or not depends on whether you can get the sap of Dolankar--this is the main drug of the antidote, and it can only be secreted after our holy tree has been sacrificed."

Fang Linyan nodded and said:
"So how soon can I get the antidote?"

Jordan said:
"soon."

And Fang Linyan immediately knew what Jordan meant by "soon". It was really very soon, at most 1 minute later.

The antidote is to soak Dolankar's sap with the pills that have been processed before. Well, the appearance is very ugly, and the taste is also very bad. At least it caused Fang Linyan's nose a lot of trouble.

Another unfortunate news is that this drug has a time limit, and the centaur's time calculation unit is "heap", which is the time that a bonfire can burn.

Jordan told Fang Linyan that the timeliness of this thing is two "piles", which is only about four hours, but now it's getting dark, if it is sent over tomorrow morning, the wounded will not be able to last until then, and the antidote will also be will expire.

Under such circumstances, Fang Linyan and the others must have the only option to rush back to the temporary base overnight.

Fortunately, their salt mine in Jordan is not far from the temporary camp, and it only takes less than an hour to drive an all-terrain vehicle, so Ali is determined to return. After Fang Linyan thought about it, he decided to go back to deliver medicine.

Soon, the two drove directly on the road. Fang Linyan was a little tired after driving all day today, so he just leaned back to rest his mind.

Driving on this vast wilderness, the roar of the engine of the all-terrain vehicle was not loud at first, but at this time it could be heard far away in the quiet night. Because they were not familiar with each other, neither Fang Linyan nor Ali what exchange.

Suddenly, Ali said:

"Hey, slow down, what do you see on the right?"

Fang Linyan suddenly looked to the right, and found that there was a little light there, and it seemed that there was still a tent, which was actually the style of a temporary camp, and there seemed to be two figures in the tent, but from a distance It's not very clear.

At this time, Ali had already driven the all-terrain vehicle over there, and at the same time shouted excitedly:

"Wow! I thought Ai Jie and the others who were out on patrol were all dead, but I didn't expect to camp here."

"I see, most likely they encountered those evacuated bastards, so they could only run here to avoid the limelight."

Unexpectedly, when hundreds of meters away from the camp, there was already a rocky beach with a slope in front of it. The all-terrain vehicle could not drive through here. Ali could only stop the car, then opened the door and walked down, facing Fang Linyan at the same time. road:

"Hey, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and help, there are still wounded among them, we have to pick up someone and hurry over."

After hearing Ali's words, Fang Linyan didn't say much, and got out of the car. After the two of them walked about five or sixty meters, Fang Linyan suddenly frowned and said:
"It's not right, the people in the tent didn't move at all!"

After Ali heard this, his heart shivered suddenly, but he was still a little unwilling, but at this time, there were a lot of "Sisisoso" sounds from around, and there were even a lot of humming mixed together.

There was a vicious hatred hidden in that voice, as if it wanted to tear the two of them into pieces.

Immediately afterwards, behind those stones, there appeared pairs of light green will-o'-the-wisps, and they were the eyes of scavengers! !

Obviously, the Kyrgyz centaur who fought with Fang Linyan and the others during the day had an astonishingly high intelligence!
The Aijie patrol that Ali said was obviously wiped out, but the Kyrgyz centaur did not retreat completely after leaving, and directly used the patrol's corpse and the luggage it carried to set up a simple and vicious trap.

Ali is actually not stupid, but his concept still believes that human beings are superior and underestimated the wisdom of these indigenous creatures, so he has to pay a fatal price.

Regarding this, Fang Linyan turned around and rushed to the car without saying a word. He was also careless for a moment, and followed Ali out of inertia.As the saying goes, tigers always take a nap, but this time the mistake was not fatal, but Fang Linyan didn't bother to pay attention to Ali at this time, he made his own mistakes and let him fend for himself.

However, before Fang Linyan got close to the all-terrain vehicle, the forward speed of the wolves rushing forward was also very fast. They even rushed to the front, and even stood on the roof of the all-terrain vehicle with a few wolves baring their teeth.

Not only that, the large pack of wolves also began to roar one after another, and then began to shrink the encirclement net, speeding up and swarming towards them.

As soon as Ali gritted his teeth, knowing that life and death were at stake, he directly replaced it with a unique magazine. Then he picked up the equipped K-14 automatic electromagnetic rifle and fired at the oncoming wolves continuously.

The 8MM special "stab" bullets were released fiercely in the tongue of flames sprayed from the muzzle, and shot at the invading wolves with a precise attack method. As Ruide's confidant, Ali not only has good marksmanship, but also has a powerful weapon. Immediately, Ali knocked down several wolves who were charging forward.

Fang Linyan also cooperated with Ali to shoot at this time. The two fought and retreated at this time. Gunshots and screams continued in the night sky. In just ten seconds, the ferocious vanguard of the wolf pack was severely injured:
About seven or eight wolves were either killed or injured under the frenzied shooting of the two, and those who were killed were basically the special depleted uranium bombs used by Ali, while the rest were still hovering around them, dodging non-stop Turn around and wait for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack.

The ear-piercing gunshots and howling wolves intertwined, and attracted the distant wolves and Kyrgyz centaurs. Fang Linyan followed behind Ali, advancing towards the all-terrain vehicle step by step. Before the group approached, they rushed back into the car.

And Ali was really lucky. If Fang Linyan hadn't used his formidable strength to block the car door at this time, any member of the rescue team would not have been able to do this.

But at this time, the front of the all-terrain vehicle was surrounded by many black-painted wolves, and the pair of creepy green eyes kept shining, completely blocking the vehicle's surroundings, and some even began to eat the car body and tires.

Not only that, but at this moment, an old centaur holding a magic staff emerged from the darkness, muttering something in his mouth. When Fang Linyan found it, the guy's staff was already facing this way One finger!
Immediately, you can see that a bunch of blue and white lightning is directly aimed at this side and flying over!

Lightning Bolt!
This bolt of lightning hit the front of the vehicle accurately, and the lights inside the all-terrain vehicle immediately flickered for a while, and then went out powerlessly one after another.

Fang Linyan lost a scout, but found that his scout was no match for the vulture, so he could only scout out the guy's name:
Kyrgyz Thunder Summoner!
I didn't see this guy appearing during the day, so the most reasonable explanation is that the Kyrgyz tribe came for reinforcements.

Ali frantically pressed the key to try to ignite, but at this time the all-terrain vehicle lost the chain and could not start at all.

At this moment, a bright searchlight came from a distance, and it was an all-terrain vehicle that came to help. The driver stepped on the accelerator to the end, making the vehicle aim at the pack of wolves on the periphery like a beast. shock.

After the all-terrain vehicle speeded up, with the violent turmoil from the engine, it crashed into the pack of wolves. Several wargs were smashed to pieces and flew into the air. Even the tracks of the all-terrain vehicle were covered with Turned bright red, the vehicle rampaged among the terrified wolves, and the people in the vehicle could only endure the violent jolts.

Seeing someone coming to help, Fang Linyan and Ali shot crazily without sparing any energy, and this all-terrain vehicle also made a side-slip drift directly, and several wolves who wanted to try to attack had no time to dodge, and were caught by the crowd. The side of the terrain vehicle was knocked out.

At the same time, several shooting ports of the all-terrain vehicle opened at the same time, and a large amount of flames spewed out from them, causing blood to splatter among the pack of wolves.

At this time, the Kyrgyz thunder caller made another shot, but in the dark night, the blue and white thunder light in his hands was too conspicuous when it chanted, and someone immediately blasted it with a grenade, and it immediately became obedient. , let out a cry of pain.
