Back to the Wilderness

Xie Cheng kept staring at the bubbling water surface, with a serious expression but not the slightest nervousness.

"Be careful." Ji Fuyun left immediately after speaking to Xie Cheng.Here, he can't play any role, but will only cause trouble for Xie Cheng.

The karst cave in front was quite wide, and Ji Fuyun walked smoothly with a wounded leg, and did not stop until he came to another fork in the road.

If you continue walking, no matter how powerful Xie Cheng is, he probably won't know how to find him.

Not worried about Xie Cheng's safety, Ji Fuyun got a little bored waiting, thinking of the kind of ore Luo Zongqiang mentioned, he simply started exploring around.

The rock is exposed, and it can be seen at a glance that it is a metal flow rock... Ji Fuyun carefully deliberated on the two pieces of information revealed by Luo Zongqiang, indicating that it has obvious characteristics that can be recognized from thousands of rocks at a glance, it is very likely Has the characteristics of some metals.Well, it must be the color that is different from other ores!

The more Ji Fuyun thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. Except for fluorite, most of the rocks in the cave were dull and dull. If the flowing rock had a metallic luster, it could indeed be recognized at a glance.

Ji Fuyun carefully checked all the forks, but of course he didn't find anything. If Liuyan could be found so easily, they wouldn't have suffered such a big ordeal.

Ji Fuyun thought about it quite openly, since he had already thought of something, he was not in a hurry at this moment, besides, whether he was ordered to go out or not is another matter.

His current attention is on the moss in the corner of the cave.It is quite normal for a few pieces of moss to grow in a dark and damp corner, but perhaps because of professional study, Ji Fuyun is somewhat curious and sensitive to plants.

Instead of waiting for Xie Cheng idly, it's better to research something interesting.

After looking at it for a while, Ji Fuyun did not recognize what kind of moss it was. After all, there are 23000 kinds of moss in the world, and it is impossible for Ji Fuyun to recognize them all, let alone in this weird wild world.

Out of professionalism, Ji Fuyun decided to use special functions to identify them.

Name: cold moss

Features: external application with mud, hemostasis and disinfection

Ji Fuyun was startled, this unexpected joy came too suddenly.

After knowing the effect of the cold moss, the first thing Ji Fuyun thought of was not that his injured leg could be saved, but that his value in Xie Cheng's eyes had increased a bit.

And after realizing his thoughts, Ji Fuyun couldn't help feeling extremely bitter. Sure enough, he was not strong enough, so he could only depend on others. He looked down on such a self, but he had to try his best to make himself appear more useful.

This time Xie Cheng asked him to leave first, whether it was out of benevolence or righteousness or to repay the favor he had given him to resist blood-sucking bugs before, if he didn't think about it, it didn't mean he didn't understand.

Xie Cheng has his own principles in life, and if he repays the favor, the next time he is in danger, he can leave Ji Fuyun without any grievances.

Look, what a cruel fact.

Xie Cheng has no favors involved, Ji Fuyun had no choice but to exchange the price for Xie Cheng's protection.

Ji Fuyun smiled coolly, really sad.In order to live, he is already trying to change his edges and corners.It's all about living...

The sound of tapping and tapping footsteps came from far to near.

Ji Fuyun turned around, and saw Xie Cheng who was dripping with water all over his body, but fortunately there were no wounds on his body, and his walking was still calm.

"How is it?" Ji Fuyun asked.

Xie Cheng shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just a big fish."

"That's good." Ji Fuyun smiled, then pointed to the corner of the cave, "I found something interesting."

Xie Cheng glanced at the direction he was pointing at. It was a piece of black and plain moss. He wondered, "Where's the fun?"

"It can stop the bleeding."

A trace of surprise flashed in Xie Cheng's eyes, and he looked at Ji Fuyun with a smile, "It's really interesting, you know quite a lot."

"I'm a 'botanist'." Ji Fuyun deliberately used what everyone in the cave said to him, and the meaning of the expression was self-evident.

"If it is mixed with mud, the effect will be better." Ji Fuyun said, scraping off a piece of moss on the cave wall, and applying a thin layer of mud on the wound on his left leg together.

After a while, Ji Fuyun reported the situation: "It feels very cold, and it can also relieve pain."

He walked a few more steps, and the wound that had been slowly oozing blood was now covered with moss and mud, and there was no specific hemostatic effect.But looking at Ji Fuyun's striding stride like flying, it won't be too bad.

Xie Cheng leaned there, chuckling.

Ji Fuyun was suddenly a little frustrated, feeling that he had nowhere to use his strength.

Xie Cheng spoke at this time, and looked at the inconspicuous moss meaningfully, "It turns out that the research on prehistoric plants in our country has reached such a terrible point. I'm curious about any plants that you botanists don't know? "

Ji Fuyun didn't care about the suspicion in Xie Cheng's words, but was excited because he noticed his unusualness.

He turned and stared at Xie Cheng, with deep confidence in his eyes, and said word by word: "I don't know about others, but I know that if I, Ji Fuyun, want to figure out the characteristics of a plant in this wild world, it's only a matter of time." .”

"How powerful are botanists?" Xie Cheng was a little surprised. He didn't know if it was true or he was deliberately teasing Ji Fuyun.

"It's me, Ji Fuyun, who is the best."

Such a proud Ji Fuyun attracted Xie Cheng's attention, as if he was seeing him for the first time, he looked up and down with gentle eyebrows and eyes.

Ji Fuyun also straightened his back like the first time, and met Xie Cheng's sharp eyes without giving in at all.

It's like a twisted jump in time and space, the background has not changed, and they seem to have returned to the time when they first met.

After a while, Xie Cheng suddenly laughed and said, "Ji Fuyun, do you know what you look like now?"

Ji Fuyun was puzzled, not knowing how Xie Cheng got involved in this all of a sudden.

"It's like..." Xie Cheng's smile became more obvious, "a dog who was afraid of being abandoned by its owner, who was originally quiet, is now jumping and barking, trying desperately to prove that he is useful."

Ji Fuyun, who was still very confident before, became very depressed after hearing this, and took a step back weakly.He knew he was being too obvious, but he couldn't wait.There may be a deadly crisis hidden around the next corner.

"However..." Xie Cheng changed the subject, "I'm really curious about you. You are young, but you are very knowledgeable. It is very helpful to me."

Ji Fuyun looked up at him.

Xie Cheng raised the corners of his mouth and said with a chuckle: "Then as you wish, I will take you out of the cave, unless I encounter a crisis that I know I will die, otherwise I will take you to the Longtan and Tiger's Cave together. "

Ji Fuyun opened his mouth and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Okay." Xie Cheng beckoned, and after making a mark on the rock, he chose a side road and walked in, "Let's hurry up."

Ji Fuyun looked at Xie Cheng's back that was still dripping water, restrained his complex emotions deeply, and accelerated a few steps to catch up.

"Are you?"

When Ji Fuyun brushed Xie Cheng's shoulder, he suddenly heard Xie Cheng ask such a sentence, the last few words were not because Ji Fuyun didn't understand clearly, but because he heard it but didn't understand at all.

"What?" Ji Fuyun turned to ask Xie Cheng, but seeing him staring at him intently, Ji Fuyun had no doubt that Xie Cheng could clearly calculate the speed at which he blinked.

Xie Cheng looked at it for a moment, then shook his head.He started to observe Ji Fuyun from the moment he asked that sentence, although his expression didn't change, but the somewhat blank eyes couldn't deceive him, this was Ji Fuyun's subconscious reaction, it couldn't be pretended.

"You are the first person who made me doubt my own vision." Xie Cheng looked forward, "Even ordinary people and... need to open their mouths to distinguish."

Ji Fuyun paid attention to those strange syllables this time, but still couldn't hear any meaning.This is not the pronunciation of their usual language.Ji Fuyun thought this should be a special communication language between people like Xie Cheng.

As for what kind of person Xie Cheng is?Ji Fuyun didn't know, but after getting along with him during this period, he already had a guess.

Although he works behind closed doors, he still has a little understanding of the outside world.There have been many active non-governmental organizations or associations that have asked his teacher to help.

But now he has supernatural powers, which is even worse than that kind of people.

Ji Fuyun smiled and said, "You won't regret it."

"Of course." Xie Cheng's voice was very casual, "If you die, you have no chance to regret it, and if you don't die, there is no need to regret it."

"Haha." Ji Fuyun laughed.

Xie Cheng lowered his head and glanced at Ji Fuyun's leg, "Do you still need me to carry it?"

"It would be great if possible. After all, those moss can only stop bleeding, not a magic medicine."

"Come up." Xie Cheng squatted down.

The overlapping backs of the two gradually disappeared in the dark passageway, with Xie Cheng's promise and Ji Fuyun's calm heart moving forward in an unknown direction.

The light of the fluorite was still shining indistinctly, but Ji Fuyun felt that the light carried an indescribable coolness.

Soon, the coolness became more and more obvious, making goosebumps pop out of people's skin.

The dark river seemed to be spraying air-conditioning continuously upwards.

"It's getting colder and colder." Ji Fuyun said.

Xie Cheng nodded, "Yeah"

This shows that they are advancing towards the interior and bottom of the mountainside, and have reached the middle of the dark river. If they continue down, they may walk out of the cave.It looks beautiful.

After walking for a long time, the temperature is getting lower and lower.The cave is too complicated, even if you find the general direction for a while, you can't get out.

"Take a break." Xie Cheng said, conservatively estimated that they had been walking for more than ten hours.

On the side of the dark river, there are occasional shadows that are so faint that they are almost invisible.

Xie Cheng had already seen this group of little creatures, and it was because of these things that he chose to rest here.

Xie Cheng took out his dagger, knelt on the bank of the river with one leg, and stared at the river with all his attention.

Ji Fuyun watched from the side without saying a word.

Within a moment, Xie Cheng waved his hand into the river, and there was a splash of water. A palm-sized fish was stabbed on the dagger that came out of the water. The whole body was transparent, and the bones and bones of the fish could be seen clearly.

After stabbing a few more fish like this, Xie Chengcai stopped, saw Ji Fuyun squatting there studying, and asked with a smile: "Scholar Ji, can this fish be eaten?"

Ji Fuyun spread his hands: "I am a botanist, not a zoologist."

Xie Cheng smiled, and quickly removed the internal organs of the fish, and threw it to Ji Fuyun, "Let's eat it."

The taste of raw fish is not good, with a strong fishy smell, it is still abnormally cold in the mouth, and the abdominal cavity is completely cold all of a sudden, and the tongue is frozen unconscious when eating the next piece of fish.The already cold cave is even colder.

Ji Fuyun was keenly aware of the cold air rising from his left leg, and it penetrated into the bone while rushing.

This is a wounded leg with low immunity.
