Condes Mountains
"Hurry up and find a chance to leave!" Ye Shan hastily pushed Ding Can, who was closest to her, but found that the other party was standing firmly in place and had no intention of leaving.
Ding Can gave her a reassuring smile: "Remember you told Myron not to underestimate women? This sentence has come true for you and Aye. With such a high probability, you should also consider my strength."
In order not to make Ye Shan worry, her eyes were very determined, and even though the footsteps beside her were getting closer and closer, her expression remained calm.
Next to him, Dasong did not retreat either. He stood in front of the two men with an expression of heroic sacrifice on his face.
"You take Ye Shan with you and go first. She's injured. Even if I'm not very good, I can still hold on for a while. Besides, we still have the big guy here. Even if he can't use one hand, he can still use his little finger to give others a hard time."
Ding Can supported Ye Shan and walked back: "Why are you doing this again? Actually, we can go together. Hurry up."
She pushed Dasong, and Joseph came over and put Ye Shan's arm around his shoulders, and lifted her up easily.
They were originally standing at the bend of the T-junction, and using the terrain to retreat back into the corridor.
Ding Can took the opportunity to swing his arm and threw a few objects onto the stone wall of the cave. In the darkness, a few flashes of white color passed by.
If you place the hanging spider in different positions, it will spit out spider silk to connect them, which is called hanging silk.
This kind of suspension silk is completely different from the ordinary spider silk. It is very tough and has great ductility. Once something approaches, the suspension silk will stick to it and completely bind it. It will take a lot of time to break free.
This will give them more time to react.
After arranging all this, Big Head just approached with great momentum, and then he touched the invisible spider silk hanging in the air.
After the collision, he was thrown back heavily, and his raised arms were tied to his upper body.
Although the hanging thread could not be seen clearly with the naked eye, based on the degree to which the skin cloak on Big Head's body was tightened, we could tell that it was successful.
Behind him, two more people who had no time to dodge also bumped into the hanging thread, and the three of them squirmed on the spot like silkworm pupae.
"What did you put there?" Joseph couldn't help but ask curiously.
"It's a mechanical device from my hometown. It can only provide a temporary barrier. We need to find a place to hide as soon as possible."
They were not familiar with the terrain and could not find the exit. Wandering around in the cave like headless flies was not a good idea.
The best way is to use this time to find a cave to hide.
In order to avoid being hunted by the "Cheetah", Ye Shan's wounds also needed to be treated briefly to stop the bleeding.
Ding Can walked a few steps in the corridor and found that it suddenly became quiet behind him. He turned around and saw Dave standing behind the hanging thread.
He stretched out his right hand, revealing the leather cuff on his wrist, which had a faint cold glow of a metal mechanism and looked like a hidden weapon launcher.
With a slight movement of his fingers, several sounds of breaking through the air were heard, flying towards the few people.
It's a hidden arrow, "Be careful!"
The sleeve arrow came from mid-air. She held down Dasong's shoulders, pressed down his upper body, and bent down herself. She heard a whooshing sound passing by her ears.
At the same time, the sound of hidden arrows piercing the flesh came from beside him. Joseph was unable to dodge when protecting Ye Shan, and two arrows were embedded in his back.
Fortunately, the corridor was not straight forward, but had a slight curve. In the moment of crisis, they finally reached the bend and hid inside with the help of the terrain.
The few of them did not stop, but continued to move forward, constantly shuttling between various caves in the complex terrain underground.
Ding Can estimated the time when the hanging silk formation had been broken, and asked everyone to stop. The distance here was already very far, and even they had lost their way and didn't remember the way they came, so it was impossible for A Ye to find them.
If you continue walking and making noise, there is a possibility that you will be discovered.
"Let's hide here for now, they won't find us." She breathed a sigh of relief. In order to avoid being discovered, they tried to avoid any traces of blood dripping along the way.
Even if the "Cheetah" finds something wrong and turns back, it will definitely take a lot of time to search for this cave.
Joseph took out a packet of medicine powder from his waist bag. This was a healing medicine developed by the medical department. It was very effective in stopping bleeding, but he didn't have time to bring more with him when he went up the mountain this time.
He poured all the light yellow powder on Ye Shan's wound. The blood and powder mixed together to form a sticky state, which actually stopped the bleeding.
"Need to get out as soon as possible."
Internal injuries cannot be simply treated with medicine. She must go to the town’s clinic to see a Chinese doctor for treatment, otherwise her life will be in danger.
Joseph tore his clothes into strips and wrapped them around Ye Shan's waist tightly. After a few rounds, he tied a heavy knot.
Although the medicine is effective, the patient is still bleeding. Although compressing the blood vessels is not a good solution, it is the only way to do it at the moment.
"Help me get the arrow." He pulled out a dagger and handed it to Ding Can.
Ding Can looked at him in surprise: "I can't."
She actually had no knowledge of first aid. She might be able to do a simple bandage, but this required every cut to draw blood, and she couldn't joke with Joseph's body.
Joseph's voice was grave. "These kinds of sleeve arrows often have barbs on them. I noticed that when I was struck just now, and now I'm experiencing paralysis. This suggests they might be poisonous. We must remove them as quickly as possible... along with the surrounding flesh and blood that's been snagged."
As you walk along the way, if it is really poisonous, the venom will flow along the blood and gradually spread throughout the body as it moves through the human body. You must first eradicate the part where the poison has spread.
"Let me do it," Dasong took the dagger from his hand, "but we don't have the conditions to disinfect it."
There is a risk of infection if you act rashly, but given the current situation, it is unclear which method would be more fatal.
"Pull it out." Joseph made a quick decision.
Ye Shan's injury had already caused sequelae. Beads of sweat began to seep out of her forehead, and her complexion also turned worse, almost bloodless.
Ding Can touched her forehead and it started to feel hot.
Seeing her worried expression, Ye Shan said nonchalantly, "I've been injured more seriously than this while on military missions before, and I managed to get through it all."
"I won't stand by and watch someone die. You're here to save me." Ding Can knew that if he hadn't been held hostage, they wouldn't have decided to come in such a hurry.
If we had made some preparations at night, or transferred more manpower from the town, we would not be in the current situation.
"I cut it..." Dasong looked at the two hidden arrows on Joseph's back, and his expression became serious.
"Let's start." Joseph pulled a piece of cloth and bit it in his mouth, motioning him to start.
Seeing that no one objected, Dasong did not hesitate, knowing that only by operating quickly could he suffer less pain.
The sleeve arrow is about ten centimeters long, so there is no need to cut off part of it before taking out the arrow tip.
Grasping the tail of the arrow with one hand, he raised his hand and swung the dagger. The dagger moved very smoothly in his hand, and he quickly moved it around the arrowhead.
The sleeve arrow was dug out with a small amount of flesh and blood, leaving only a black hole on the skin, with very little blood seeping out.
Dasong's technique can actually be considered sophisticated. The cut surface is smooth and a regular cylindrical shape. Even if new flesh and blood cannot grow out, the subsequent recovery of the wound will not be too troublesome.
He followed the same method and quickly dealt with the other hidden arrow. Joseph didn't make a single groan of pain during the process, which showed that he was a real man.
He simply put his clothes back on and said, "I'm going to go out and see if I can find the exit by chance."
Dasong volunteered: "Why not leave it to me? I probably know more about natural landscapes than you do."
"Don't waste your energy."
Suddenly, a voice was heard from the entrance of the cave where they were hiding. It was clearly Aye's voice.
How could that be? The four of them had left early, and along the way, they hadn't heard any footsteps from Cheetah. Since there hadn't been any clues, how had she discovered it?
This cave is a dead end. I thought it was hidden, but I didn't expect it to be discovered.
Now there aren't even any obstacles to avoid.
Dasong still held the dagger he had used to dig out the hidden arrows, and asked in a doubtful tone, "How did you find us?"
Aye stood alone at the entrance of the cave. He was tall and slender. He had changed out of the disguised girl's dress at some point and was now wearing a tight outfit that was convenient for movement.
She had a smug look on her face, and her smile was a bit gloomy: "Do you remember the gift I gave you when we first met?"
Dasong was unable to react for a moment. After being stunned for a few seconds, he remembered the herbal bag that "Tuna" had given to the two of them when they met at the mountain pass on the first day they arrived in the snow-capped mountains.
At that time, they said that they were worried that the two people came from their hometown thousands of miles away and would not be able to adapt to the new environment and might have difficulty falling asleep at night, so they gave them homemade medicine packs.
The medicine packs can calm the nerves and help them get through the initial days.
At that time, Dasong was very happy to accept it, thinking that the little girl was very friendly. Now he realized that the so-called thoughtfulness was just a premeditated plan.
Even prepare for a rainy day.
Aye was not sure whether he would need to use this hidden chess piece, but he was just being prepared.
I didn't expect that it would come in handy in today's situation. It would expose myself at the critical moment and implicate others.
Ding Can's mind moved, and he suddenly remembered the abnormal situation he had felt before.
After being taken into the underground by Dave and using the Lotus Step by Step technique, Ah Ye did indeed smell some fragrance.
At that time, I thought it was just a coincidence, but now I understand that she has some special talent in smell and can smell the special fragrance in the air.
This bug also applies to system items.
Moreover, she also carried a bag of medicine with her. When she held it in her hand and smelled it up close, she could indeed smell the fragrance of herbs. However, when she put it a little further away, it was almost inaudible.
Given their miraculous physical characteristics, it's not surprising to find them in the intricate underground.
Dasong was filled with anger. He pulled out his medicine bag and threw it towards Aye. "You are such a despicable villain! You will get what you deserve."
Ah Ye was unmoved: "Retribution or not, you won't see that day anyway."
She put her index finger between her lips and whistled in a rhythmic pattern, calling on her companions scattered underground.
I believe that others will arrive soon and kill them all.
Hearing the whistle, Ding Can subconsciously put his hand on his chest, where there was a whistle entrusted to him by Myron, which could be used to summon the mountain god in times of crisis.
Will it work when that time comes?
In just a few minutes, all the members of "Cheetah" had arrived at the entrance of the cave. They all had cold eyes, and they looked at them as if they were looking at dead people.
"Don't leave any alive."
As Aye gave an order, Ding Can felt a vibration coming from the soles of his feet, and some of the rocks around him fell down.
At first she thought it was a trick of the other party, but when she saw the unusual expression on Aye's face, she realized that the reason was not that simple.
I'm afraid something has happened to the snow mountain, and the underground has been affected as well, posing a risk of collapse.
"Hurry up and go!" The people who were originally at the entrance of the cave fled in panic.
