A rare opportunity

To be honest, Li Yu didn't mind Bai Ruhua's abandonment. After all, people are selfish, and no one would be willing to risk their lives to save a completely unrelated person.

What he feared most was facing Bai Ruhua! The scene in the dream was vivid, especially the two dazzling white breasts on her chest in the dream! When he was with Bai Ruhua, he would think of her unconsciously and peek at her unconsciously whenever he had some free time! He was afraid that one day he would not be able to resist reaching out to touch that dazzling white!

Therefore, he wanted to see her, but was afraid to see her. He was indecisive and confused for a while!

At this moment, a high-pitched wolf howl came from a distance, which frightened him so much that he shuddered! Who cares! Saving your life is the most important thing! Although the two pythons are afraid of jade bees, it is not known whether jade bees have a deterrent effect on other beasts. Besides, those jade bees are just a group of rabble and have no fighting power. If you really encounter a beast that is not afraid of death, you may not be able to save your life by relying on them alone!

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, immediately stood up and walked towards the hill!

Without Bai Ruhua's guidance, Li Yu had to cut through the thorns and brambles on his own. However, the road was overgrown with weeds and thorns! He didn't have any swords, only a Ruyi dog-beating stick. This stick was okay for beating dogs, but it was not very useful for clearing the way! Most of the time, he cleared the way with his bare hands, so he walked very slowly!

In the bushes, small animals like snakes and rats would suddenly jump out when they were disturbed by him. At first, he was a little scared, but after seeing them so many times, he lost his fear and saw them as if they were chickens and ducks.

He walked and stopped like this, aiming at the direction of the hill, groping forward in the bushes! All his clothes, except for the vest, had been scraped into pieces by the thorns. His limbs and face were all scratched with blood, and his whole body was covered with scars and blood! Huge mosquitoes followed him closely, making a buzzing sound, which was very annoying! He didn't know where his shoes were thrown.

Looking at the hills in the distance, I couldn't help but feel a little discouraged! At his snail-like pace, how long would it take for him to reach the mountain? The key was, was there still hope for me to reach the mountain?

Looking at the shreds of cloth on his body and the scars all over his body, he couldn't help but doubt his future! Based on his previous experience as a beggar, although he could avoid many swamps and miasma, he couldn't deal with these thorns! If he continued like this, he would probably run out of blood before he reached the hill!

He was so tired that he could not walk anymore. He found a rock to sit down and think about what to do next.

The road is still long. If you want to get there alive, the most urgent thing is to heal your wounds and stop your bleeding!

Since he was forced to enter, he had no preparations at all. Not to mention no ready-made elixirs, he didn't even have a single herb for healing! He wanted to find some herbs, but although there were weeds all along the way, he didn't even find a single burdock!

This is not surprising, because most herbs need sufficient water. In order to avoid swamps and miasma, he deliberately stayed away from places with water. Most of the places he chose were dry and high, which were naturally not suitable for the growth of those herbs.

Although he had thought through this disaster, he was still a little hesitant because it was full of dangers! After all, once he fell into the swamp, he would become part of the swamp. What's more, there were also beasts like crocodiles hiding in the swamp?

As he was hesitating, he suddenly felt thirsty! You know, he hadn't had a drop of water since entering the war garden! He was in a hurry to get on the road and couldn't think of anything for a while. Now he was free and felt thirsty!

People can go without food for a long time, but if they don't drink water for a long time, no one can stand it. It's okay if you don't remember it, but once you remember it, you won't be willing to wait even a moment!

Li Yu gritted his teeth, turned around and walked back! He had just passed a water source, but there were dense aquatic plants there, and he could tell at a glance that there was mud underneath. Based on his experience, it was undoubtedly a swamp! Therefore, he chose to avoid it!

It was much easier to walk back now, after all, he had already paved a path. When he reached the edge of the swamp, he felt his throat smoking as he looked at the water source so close. But he knew the danger here, so he didn't rush over immediately. Instead, he slowed down and used his dog-beating stick to test the way forward! His ears were erected high, and his eyes were constantly patrolling around, keeping alert at all times! Although he knew that if something like a crocodile really appeared, he would not be able to escape no matter how vigilant he was.

He didn't dare to walk towards the center of the swamp, but just aimed at a small puddle not far away. Although there was not much water there, it was enough for him to drink, and he could even take some with him. The most important thing was that the puddle was very close to the shore!

The further he walked, the softer he felt under his feet. In the end, it was like standing on a piece of tofu. He felt that the soil under his feet would turn into mud at any time! He took a few more steps forward tentatively, but he didn't dare to move forward. But looking at the small puddle so close, he was really unwilling to give up!

He immediately squatted down slowly, lay on the soft ground, and tentatively crawled forward!

Fortunately, the mud here is quite solid, and lying on it will only sink slightly, so there is no danger.

He slowly crawled to the edge of the puddle, and couldn't wait to bury his head in the water. At this time, he didn't care whether the water was poisonous or not, and drank it all up!

When he poured the remaining water and mud into the water bag and climbed back to the shore, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief! After a short rest, he looked for herbs to heal his wounds along the edge of the swamp.

Sure enough, although there were not many herbs here, there were still some. While searching for herbs, he chewed the herbs he found and applied them to his wounds.

While he was concentrating on finding herbs, he heard a slight groaning sound. At first, he didn't pay attention to it, thinking it was just the sound of wind blowing the water plants. But as he moved forward, the groaning sound became louder and louder, and finally aroused his vigilance!

He pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and finally confirmed that it was indeed the sound made by a person, not the sound of the wind!

He immediately looked in the direction of the sound. He saw a face covered in mud and an unclear face struggling slowly in a puddle, groaning in pain from time to time!

Li Yu judged from her voice that the person should be a woman. Bai Ruhua's face immediately appeared in his mind! Could it be her? How could she be here? Shouldn't she have reached the hill?
