101: Return trip(1/2)
"Are you injured?" She saw a dark hole on the bare shoulder, with blood and flesh around it. It looked like the injury was serious... and very weird!
"No problem, according to the direction of sunrise, we are heading southeast at the moment..."
"It seems we missed the western lands before soldiers saw those villages. I think they are real."
"Instructor just woke up, don't worry too much. According to your method, we are still moving with the dark forest. So, it is very possible to return to the sandy land where we came from." Xuan Luo stared into Feng Ji'er's eyes.
, reluctant to move away
"Did you also notice? The forest is moving around a circle, but... I don't know what dangers we will encounter on this return trip..." Feng Ji'er didn't notice that something in Xuan Luo's eyes had changed.
Got it
"Take a rest for a while. If you are tired, don't worry. We have an army of a hundred people. The power of a hundred people is always stronger than the instructor alone."
She didn't want to mention what happened last night, so naturally she wouldn't say a word again.
He hugged her and let her rest comfortably on his shoulders. Xuan Luo felt that the pain in his limbs and bones was reduced a bit... Because with her by his side, the feeling of losing and regaining made him forget about his body.
pain
Feng Ji'er was stunned. She didn't expect that he would do this action so naturally.
Is it because they have experienced life and death together and have become familiar with each other to a certain extent, or has something changed between them?
"By the way, don't mind if I ask, what is that thing you have been holding in your hand?"
Why don't we chat for a while, it seems good
Only then did Feng Ji'er realize that she was holding something like a blood-red rope tightly in her hand. She tried hard to remember, but it was a bit blurry. She could only see a piece of flesh and blood, which seemed to be pulled from something...
This blood-red thing looks like the meridians of some animal. But what animal has such rare and thick meridians?
Feng Ji'er shook her head: "I don't know, it seems to be a whip."
Xuan Luo was speechless, everyone could see it looked like a whip...
"This whip has two thick fingers and is about one foot long. It is blood red and crystal clear. It is still warm to the touch. It is really magical. Could it be the meridians of that strange black bird?" Xuan Luo guessed.
The two of them were looking at the blood-red whip when suddenly a soldier shouted: "Instructor, there are no trees in front of us! All the black trees are sinking, look!"
Feng Ji'er and Xuan Luo stood up at the same time, but Xuan Luo's hand was still on her waist. Feng Ji'er finally got a little impatient and waved his hand down, picked up the whip in her hand, and wrapped it around her waist.
A tree, flying down on the tree, looking not far away
The trees are indeed sinking. This dark forest land is so mysterious and densely covered by trees that it is difficult to see the situation ahead. At the moment, the huge tree trunks can actually sink into the soil and disappear after a while.
If they continue to stay in the tree, they will only be swallowed up together.
Feng Jier turned her eyes to the swamp and suddenly realized that moving to this position, the environment of this half of the swamp was very different from before.
There are no dead trees here, the land is solid and flat, and it looks like a normal flat grassland.
Feng Ji'er immediately ordered: "Everyone get off the tree and enter the swamp! We must be fast!"
The trees sank very fast. After a while, the tree with the soldiers climbing on it started to sink.
The soldiers rushed out of the trees and just ran into the swamp. The black trees behind them disappeared one after another. After a while, the entire forest disappeared and sank into the black mud.
Instead, the endless black ocean of mud... looked very spectacular, and also very terrifying...
Who has ever seen the land that looks like a pot of boiling mud soup? And it’s a vast expanse of land that can’t be seen at a glance!
After smelling the strange smell that suddenly appeared in the air, Feng Jier immediately asked the soldiers to cover their noses with cloth. It was a very strong sewage gas. If you don't leave here quickly, people will be poisoned and die in a short time.
Feng Jier took the lead and ran at the front. At this moment, she was not sure what the situation would be like in the swamp. She could only lead everyone and run desperately.
The place where the dark forest disappeared has turned into a swamp, and poisonous gas is spreading. They are racing against time!
Suddenly, Feng Ji'er's eyes lit up. She actually saw the snow rabbit again.
The snow rabbit only showed its face, turned around, and ran towards the south.
Feng Ji'er felt that it was leading the way for her, so she ran after the snow rabbit without hesitation.
The snow rabbit only appeared once and then disappeared. Feng Jier led a hundred people and ran for an unknown amount of time. When they stopped, they discovered that they had actually run out of the swamp!
What Feng Ji'er didn't know was that without the Snow Rabbit behind them, using his divine power to withstand the poisonous gas in the swamp transformed by the dark forest, they wouldn't have been so lucky to escape...
Looking at the increasingly sparse vegetation, the soldiers were overjoyed and cheered.
"Teacher! Look, there is sand ahead!"
Looking up, there was indeed a piece of yellow sand in front of them. I wonder if it was the same land they passed through when they came here.
"Oh my God! This is the water bag I left in the sand! At that time, I was still worried about losing the water bag, which caused a group of people to have no water to drink... I didn't expect that I would still see it when I came back.
!" Kong Ling yelled and dug out a water bag from the sand. It was exactly the one that Feng Ji'er had given to the leaders of each group.
In this way, this sandy land is really where they came from. In other words, if they cross this sandy land and reach Red Sand Corner, they can return to the North Country!
Xuan Luo quietly came up behind Feng Ji'er, with a hint of joy in his eyes and more of pity.
"How much of the white cloth you used when you came here is left?" Feng Jier reorganized the entire army and the soldiers lined up.
The situation this time was not optimistic. They fled back to the sand as if they were running for their lives. They were not as light as when they came, and they had enough dry food and water.
The soldiers opened their clothes and pulled out the white cotton cloth tied around their waists. "Instructor, there is only so much left."
Feng Ji'er saw that each of the soldiers was barely holding a piece of white cloth that could wrap their heads.
In the absence of water, Feng Jier hesitated for a moment
I only spent one day on this sandy land. When I go back, I'm afraid...
"Is anyone feeling uncomfortable? Or too hungry to continue moving forward?"
Feng Jier asked
The soldiers paused for a moment. Some responded that they could still hold on, while others responded that they might not be able to...
In the past few days in the dark forest, I had hardly eaten anything. The only thing I had was sugarcane instead of water. I started to cough. Thinking of the sweetness of sugarcane, I became more and more unbearable.
This is exactly what Feng Jier is worried about
But in order to encourage the soldiers, she can only survive by taking risks again and only by taking risks.
"There is not everything in the sand. I promise that you can find food and water. Please be alert and follow me into the sand! It will be dark in a few hours. We walk slowly. At night, the road
It will be easier to walk, I believe we can return to the Northland before dawn!"
When the soldiers heard that Feng Ji'er was so confident, they no longer worried, and their faces showed enthusiasm.
"Yes! Enter the sand! Return to the North!"
Ten groups of soldiers, led by the leaders of each group, officially set off towards the sand.
Feng Ji'er walked at the back of the queue, because Xuan Luo walked slower and slower. Feng Ji'er noticed something was wrong with his face from the moment he ran to the sand, with a dark look.
She walked slowly with him
Xuan Luo didn't want to delay the progress of the entire army because of his injuries, so he pretended to be fine
Although he walks slowly, his expression is relaxed
"Why is the instructor walking side by side with me? The instructor is always at the front of the army," Xuan Luo said.
"I'm afraid that His Highness the Crown Prince is lost and no one will fulfill their promise to give me the position of general," Feng Ji'er replied.
Such a reply made Xuan Luo laugh from the bottom of his heart.
"Haha, it seems that the instructor cares more about fame and fortune than the prince. Aren't you afraid that if you are promoted to the position of general, the prince will be unhappy and dismiss you?"
Feng Ji'er saw him smiling happily, but her face was not as rosy as expected. It was still dark. Her eyes shifted to the wound on his shoulder.
You wouldn't know if you didn't look at it, but at first glance... Feng Ji'er immediately stepped forward, reached out and opened the pieces of his clothes, and a big black hole appeared in front of her eyes, which was more serious than what she had seen before!
"What's going on? This wound is getting deeper and darker, and it's turning black. Don't you feel pain? The bones are visible, why don't you tell me!"
Xuan Luo stared closely at Feng Ji'er's worried eyes, unblinking and unwilling to look away.
His heart suddenly moved. Could it be that he was holding back the severe pain and waiting for this moment of concern?
His heart was really trembling.
This kind of trembling is enough to soothe all the pain in his body
"It doesn't hurt," Xuan Luo said softly.
If he wasn't worried about her becoming suspicious, he really wanted to put his arms around her shoulders, let her lean against him, and let the warmth of her body give him some strength.
Because although he could no longer feel the pain, his eyes suddenly turned black, his vision became increasingly blurry, and his mind became chaotic...
"It's on the back too! How many wounds did you have on your body?" Feng Ji'er opened his clothes and found that there was also a big black hole on his back, with a bloody mess around it. It looked like a bomb had been used.
It's like blowing up his body
How could there be such a weird black hole?
"How are you?" Feng Ji'er asked him, but saw no response from him. She turned around and found that his head had been resting on her shoulder, and her eyes were weakly closed...
"Xuan Luo! Wake up!" Feng Jier slapped Xuan Luo's face, and his face was filled with a dead black color, which became more and more intense.
"Jiao...Jiao...Tou, what's wrong with the captain? How do you call the captain the prince's name?" the soldiers asked in confusion.
To be continued...
