Chapter 1368 Dayun Mountain 8
"There! There's a pool!"
Everyone was thrilled as they watched the rippling water ahead, illuminated by the green light. They had been trapped in the temple for four days and had long since finished drinking all the water. This pool of water seemed like nectar.
Many people could no longer bear the thirst. They licked their cracked lips and trotted towards the distant water source.
Fu Anan was also thirsty, but she held it back.
She still remembered the appearance of those bugs just now. She had a kind of paranoid complex and felt like there were bugs everywhere she looked.
But her kettle ran out of water last night.
Is there a way to test whether water is drinkable?
No.
Fu Anan stood where he was, looking at the person in front of him who was lying by the lake, taking two sips, and then drinking the water in big gulps.
There is a family of four, three adults and two elderly people who have some mobility problems.
Except for these five people, the remaining eight people did not move.
In addition to Fu Anan and the child of a few years old, there were Zhang Qiang, Yang Zitao, a young couple and two men who had been following Zhang Qiang.
Player?
Fu Anan calculated silently in her heart, then took the kettle and went downstairs to get some water.
She was just the beginning, and others followed suit. As long as the people who drank the water were fine, then the water was drinkable.
A despicable but effective method of testing poison.
After simply replenishing their water, everyone walked towards the glowing area.
This is a large area of unknown minerals, transparent like glass, with light trapped in it and floating quietly.
"Hiss, it's so cold."
A gust of cold air hit them as they walked in, as if they had entered an ice cellar.
It can't really be ice, right?
Fu Anan placed her hand on it, feeling it was exceptionally cold and smooth, yet not like ice. Following the principle of avoiding touching unfamiliar objects in such a strange environment, she quickly removed her hand.
It was still very cold just now, but the moment I put it down, my palm felt a stinging sensation as if it was burned by fire.
She turned over her palm and saw that it was red!
Before she knew it, Fu Anan felt that she was sweating on her back and her clothes were almost soaked with sweat.
"It's so cold, like an ice cellar."
Some people are adding clothes without noticing the discrepancy between how they feel and their bodies.
"What kind of crystal is this? If I could knock off a piece and take it out, wouldn't it be worth a lot of money?"
Some people have the words "treasure" and "get rich" in their eyes, and they are almost going crazy wanting to make money.
There is also the oldest grandmother in the family of four. At this moment, she is playing on a stone with her little grandson. The child is chasing the light flowing in the stone, grabbing it with his hands, sticking it with his face, rolling on it, and laughing crisply and brightly.
"Come down quickly and get out of here!"
Fu Anan shouted, backing away quickly, "They're getting close! There's something wrong with these stones! Quick!"
Zhang Qiang and Yang Zitao left the fastest, and the others didn't know what was happening and also retreated.
The ones who reacted the slowest were the old man and the old woman. They were the last ones to come out.
As soon as they came out, everyone felt something strange in their body.
As soon as they came out, everyone felt something strange in their body to some extent.
First of all, it’s hot!
Extremely hot.
Wherever they touched the stone, they suffered burns to varying degrees.
The injuries on the old man and the old woman were quite serious, especially on the old woman. When she lifted her clothes, she saw scars on her arms and back that looked like insect marks.
This scared the aunt.
Insects, high temperatures, burns
Putting this together, was it possible that the parasites that originally infested the old lady were burned to death? Fu Anan thought about this and looked at the others examining their wounds. Some had one or two traces of insects on their bodies, while others had no traces at all.
Of course Fu Anan saw it too.
She lifted her arms and saw that her body was all red.
There are no scars left by insects burning her, which means she is not infested?
If that's the case, then is this a blessing in disguise? Should I go in and roast it again?
Fu Anan had just had a wild idea, but was slapped in the face the next second.
The seven or eight-year-old child was probably the one who had the longest and closest contact with the stones.
As soon as the grandmother carried the child out of the rocks about five or six meters away, the child immediately started crying. As he cried, his body began to turn red and hot, and then his clothes, shoes and even his hair began to burn.
"Xiaobao!"
"Hurry up and save our little treasure!"
"how so!"
The grandmother hugged the child and screamed, and the flames on the child's body also burned her body.
The couple also panicked.
"Quick, take him back to those stones!"
Fu Anan suddenly thought of something, then pointed at the stone and shouted.
The old lady hurried back with the child in her arms, and the moment she placed the child on the stone, the child stopped burning.
He was still howling, his clothes burned to ashes, clearly terrified. Standing inside the stone, he was shivering from the cold.
"Who has any clothes left?"
Fu Anan asked, her clothes had been used up when she was driving away the bugs on them just now.
"I have."
The couple took out clothes from their backpacks and threw them to the child's grandmother from a distance.
After putting out the fire and putting on clothes, the child's grandmother held the child and watched them among the rocks.
"Mom, please try and see if you can come out again."
The man was shouting outside, and the woman was standing by, watching them, twisting the corners of her clothes anxiously.
The old lady took a cautious step forward holding the child, and then the child, who had originally calmed down, began to cry again and his body turned red.
"Son, it seems the baby can't leave here."
She hugged the child tightly, fear in her eyes. Are they going to be trapped here forever?
There was silence at the scene.
If the child takes one more step, his temperature will instantly rise, and in serious cases, he may spontaneously combust.
Who can save this?
There was also despair in the eyes of the young couple. They stared blankly at the old man and the young boy, their eyes turning red.
After a long while, the man took a deep breath and made a difficult decision, "Mom, you... leave the baby here."
The woman next to him looked at her husband in disbelief, "Liu Zhide, are you still qualified to be a father? I'll stay!"
"No, it's all my fault. I'm old. I'll stay with the baby."
The old lady said with tears in her eyes, "You are still young, go ahead..."
The old woman's guilt, the father's dilemma, the woman's hysterical howling because the man wanted to abandon the child, the three of them began to argue, and the child also cried because of the adults' situation.
In this chaos, someone suddenly said, "How about prying off a piece of this stone and taking it with you?"
After saying this, the whole audience fell silent.
The three people who were arguing focused their attention on Fu Anan, and the people who were originally watching also looked at the person who suddenly interrupted.
"I...I was just talking casually."
Fu Anan looked away and placed the kettle on the stone.
Inspired by its combustion, perhaps it is possible to disinfect the water inside by combining low temperature and high temperature.
On the other side, they actually tried to pry the rocks apart.
The stone was extremely hard and an elderly woman alone could not do it, so a young couple also came to help dig the hole.
After chiseling for a while, the old lady would send the two men outside to rest to prevent them from getting out.
Fu Anan waited outside for a while, then used his clothes to pick up the kettle on the ore. Not long after he walked, the kettle turned red and became hot, and the water inside began to smoke and boil.
The water that has been sterilized by high temperature is drinkable except that it is hot.
Seeing Fu Anan's behavior, others began to follow suit.
After everyone had boiled the water, the couple finally chiseled out two palm-sized stones. They wrapped the two stones in cloth and gave one to the old woman and the other to the child.
If they stay in there for a long time, the two of them might combust as soon as they come out.
The two of them held the ice in their hands and tried to walk slowly forward.
Beyond the previous position.
The old lady took two more steps forward without any impact. The whole family cried for joy, but when the young couple were about to hug each other, they touched the old lady and the child and their hands suddenly retracted.
Very cold!
There was still some blue light remaining on the stones in the hands of the old woman and the child, as if it was trapped inside and kept floating.
