Back to the Wilderness

"Xie Cheng." Ji Fuyun called out in a low voice.

"Huh?" Xie Cheng still lowered his head, kneading Ji Fuyun's kneecap carefully.

Ji Fuyun opened his mouth, swallowed back what he originally wanted to say, and changed the question: "Are you sure you can get out of this underground cave?"

"No." Xie Cheng answered decisively and lightly.

Ji Fuyun was startled, as if he didn't expect Xie Cheng to answer like this, and when he was about to say something, Xie Cheng suddenly looked up at him, his dark eyes reflected blue light, and he couldn't see clearly the emotions inside.

Ji Fuyun's heart skipped a beat, his pupils dilated subconsciously, and then a sharp pain spread wildly from his knee, the nerves in his entire left leg collapsed in an instant, and the pain hit overwhelmingly, hitting the bones all over his body.

"Ah..." Ji Fuyun couldn't help crying out in pain, his back arched unnaturally, his upper body fell on the ground, his forehead firmly pressed against the ground.His left leg was so painful that he couldn't move it, and he was careful not to touch it while shaking.

Xie Cheng stood up and took a step back, staring at Ji Fuyun's reaction.

After a long while, Ji Fuyun gritted his teeth and stopped shouting abruptly. He closed his eyes in a collapsed state, his face was pale, and his shirt was drenched in cold sweat.The breathing changed from heavy to inaudible, as if he didn't even have the strength to breathe.

Only then did Xie Cheng step over to Ji Fuyun's right side, helped him up and leaned against the stone, and said, "You should rest for a while, and we will find the exit after the pain subsides."

Ji Fuyun made an indistinct sound from his nasal cavity, which was considered to be Xie Cheng's answer.

Xie Cheng didn't laugh at Ji Fuyun's performance, on the contrary, he admired Ji Fuyun more and more. He straightened his bones, so he naturally understood how painful it was, and it was already very severe that he didn't pass out.

In the end, Ji Fuyun was woken up by Xie Cheng. He was not unconscious, but fell into a deep sleep due to exhaustion.

There was no trace of blood on his face, and Ji Fuyun who had just woken up looked very weak, but in fact his left leg had recovered a lot, although it was still in pain, it was within a tolerable range.Especially the sense of fit between the bones made him feel very solid, at least the legs were not completely abolished.

"How do you feel?" Xie Cheng asked.

"It's okay." Ji Fuyun replied with a hoarse voice.

Xie Cheng nodded, "That's good, let's go."

Ji Fuyun didn't object, nor did he propose to rest for a while, their time was precious and they couldn't stand the trouble.Although Ji Fuyun only walked through a small area in the cave, he could get a glimpse of the whole leopard from this one spot. The twists and turns of the cave are extremely frightening, and there are many, deep and criss-cross passages. The crocodiles are staring at the dark place, coupled with the shortage of food, if you don't get out as soon as possible, you may never be able to get out.

Xie Chengcheng said that he was not sure, if he didn't fight hard, he would really die here.

Ji Fuyun supported the rock and stood up, only to realize that some flesh trauma on his left leg had been treated briefly, and the mud and gravel on the wound had been cleaned up, it seems that Xie Cheng did it while he was asleep .

"Thank you."

Xie Cheng smiled, shifted his gaze to Ji Fuyun's legs that were trying to walk, and said, "I'll carry you on my back first."

Ji Fuyun thought for a while and agreed. Although the left leg is not broken, it is better to use it as little as possible. If it is in danger, he can hold it for a while.

"Let's walk along the dark river for a while and have a look." Xie Cheng walked out from another passage in the cave with Ji Fuyun on his back. This passage is much wider than the one they entered before, and carrying Ji Fuyun on his back will not hinder Xie Cheng. Walk like flying.

After walking out of the cave, the light gradually dimmed, but this passage seems to be a fluorite mine, and there are some fluorites emitting blue and green light at intervals around it. The light is very dim, but with the eyesight of Xie Cheng and Ji Fuyun You can still see the road clearly, at least there will be no more accidents of stepping on the Cole crocodile.

"I don't know where the ore Luo Zongqiang mentioned is." Ji Fuyun observed the environment of the passage on Xie Cheng's back, and remembered their original purpose.

Xie Cheng was very concerned about this kind of ore, and said after hearing the words: "Let's look for it by the way. If you are lucky, you may find it. Even if you can't take it away this time, you can come again next time."

Ji Fuyun nodded, and also took this matter to heart.

The karst cave was intricate, and within a short while, they came across a three-way intersection. Xie Cheng took out his dagger and carved a mark on the rock wall, and then walked in through the rightmost passage.

Ji Fuyun looked back, the symbol was like a distorted cross with no rules and no direction.This is the second time he has seen Xie Cheng engrave such a symbol. The last time he was in the forest where he was looking for seeds, he also couldn't see any patterns.It should be Xie Cheng's own unique way of notation.

After thinking about it, Ji Fuyun said: "We may be able to create a special code system, and we may meet more teams like Luo Zongqiang in the future. Whether it is cooperation or competition, we need it on many occasions."

For example, now, if Gao Yiyang and the others understood Xie Cheng's code, they might be able to meet up.

"It's feasible." Xie Cheng said.

Ji Fuyun lowered his eyes, and was not happy with Xie Cheng's straightforwardness. The longer they get along, the more unpredictable Xie Cheng will become.Ji Fuyun believed that Xie Cheng had long known the importance of establishing a code system, but he never brought it up. If he did it on purpose or had any plans, he shouldn't just agree after Ji Fuyun proposed it.

This kind of reaction gave Ji Fuyun the feeling that Xie Cheng didn't care about anything, since no one asked for it, then forget it, and since someone proposed to make a code system, then let's do it, it's so random that it makes people palpitate.

In the dim cave passage, Xie Cheng's steps were very steady. Ji Fuyun felt no bumps on his back and was very stable, but Ji Fuyun felt a little cold in his heart. After thinking about it, he was even less sure where Xie Cheng would save him. The next step, he needs to improve his weight, he must make himself so important that Xie Cheng is willing to take risks for him.

His weight...to identify the special functions of plants.

Ji Fuyun was calculating his way out with a sullen face, but out of the corner of his eye, he seemed to see a small black object falling from the ceiling of the cave. He settled down and was waiting to look back carefully, but he was surprised that there was no sound in front of him. There was a black spot the size of a finger, but Xie Cheng didn't notice it!With the speed he was walking, it was very likely that the strange thing would land on him.

No matter what it is, it can't let Xie Cheng take risks.

Seeing that it was too late to remind, Ji Fuyun gritted his teeth, and hastily stretched out his hand to block the black spots falling from above.

With a slap, the black spot landed on the back of Ji Fuyun's hand, as if it had taken root from the ground, it stuck firmly to it.

Ji Fuyun was startled, first there was a soft feeling on the back of his hand, it wasn't the crushed stones he expected, before he had time to think about it, there was a tingling pain.

Xie Cheng stopped suddenly when he heard the movement, and quickly put Ji Fuyun down, his expression changed when he saw the things on the back of his hand clearly.

It was a black worm with very fat fingers, like a relatively large leech. It was lying motionless on the back of Ji Fuyun's hand, unable to shake it off. Look at its beating abdomen, it was sucking Ji Fuyun. blood!

Xie Cheng flipped his wrist, and quickly struck out with his thumb and index finger, pinching the worm's head, but it didn't come off after a sudden pull, but Ji Fuyun gasped.The worm had barbs in its mouth, which tightly hooked onto Ji Fuyun's flesh.

"Patience." Xie Cheng said, his subordinates squeezed the worm harder and deformed it. The worm seemed unable to bear the pain, and kept twisting its body. It had no choice but to let go of Ji Fuyun's mouth.Xie Cheng seized this gap, exerted his strength quickly, picked up the bug, and threw it to the ground hard.

Immediately, there was a slap, the bug was thrown into a bloody mess, and all the blood that Ji Fuyun had sucked flowed out.

No time to worry about bugs, the first thing Xie Cheng saw was the back of Ji Fuyun's hand. There was a small circular gear-shaped wound, and bright red blood dripped out bit by bit. It wasn't black, so it shouldn't be poisonous, thank you Cheng felt a little relieved and asked, "How do you feel? Is the wound numb?"

Ji Fuyun shook his head. Apart from some pain, he didn't have any special reaction, which was similar to being sucked a few mouthfuls of blood by leeches.

Xie Cheng looked at the small wound carefully for a while before he was completely relieved.He still remembered the sound of the wind when Ji Fuyun's hand brushed across his left ear just now, and Ji Fuyun helped him block the bug.Even if the insect was not poisonous, if it landed on the main artery of his neck, it would be uncomfortable to bite the blood.

If others helped him, no matter what the reason was, he would remember it.

Ji Fuyun looked at the top of the cave worriedly, he couldn't see clearly in the darkness, the weak light from the fluorite couldn't shine on it, he wondered if there were any such bugs on it, and how many there were...

Xie Cheng couldn't help frowning after hearing what Ji Fuyun said about the source of the bugs. After thinking for a while, he took off his jacket and let Ji Fuyun support them on their heads. Fortunately, bugs can only suck blood and have no other means of attack. Can resist for a while.

Xie Cheng went on the road again with Ji Fuyun on his back, this time he became more cautious.

Ji Fuyun opened Xie Cheng's coat to block most of their bodies, but this also meant that Ji Fuyun and Xie Cheng had direct skin-to-skin contact in many places, and Xie Cheng only wore a sleeveless shirt inside, with the back and arms covered. The lines are perfectly exposed.

Ji Fuyun was a little awkward, after all, he had never been so close to the same sex before.

The fluorite in the previous section of the cave exudes a light blue light, but after turning a corner, the fluorite has gradually turned green.

Ji Fuyun could always hear the sound of crackling insects falling down, it seemed that these insects finally smelled human, and they all became commotions, it was very disgusting to think about it.

Xie Cheng has been walking along the direction of the water flow. The dark river flows very slowly and looks calm.

But it was only from the looks of it that the underground river was bubbling a few times, as if something was sticking out.

Xie Cheng stopped, put Ji Fuyun down, fixed his eyes on the surface of the dark river, and said to Ji Fuyun: "You go first, I will catch up with you soon."
