After waiting for about twenty minutes, Zhou Zhiguo and others finally saw Chen Ruoruo's slightly pale face among several huge bodies.
"How are you?" Zhou Zhiguo asked, looking at Chen Ruoruo's face carefully.
"Well, I'm fine. I just had a nightmare..." Chen Ruoruo forced a smile and said to Zhou Zhiguo and the people behind her.
"Ruoruo, how about we find someone to take a look at you?" Qi Jiang asked worriedly.
"We have team members who can help you..." Han Xiao immediately said.
After hearing Han Xiao's words, Zhou Zhiguo, Qi Jiang and others immediately turned around and looked at him with strange and disapproving eyes, as if some taboo had been mentioned. They looked at Han Xiao and others with unfriendly and defensive eyes.
"I'm really fine..." Chen Ruoruo looked at the few people and confirmed again.
"But..." Xia Xiaoying looked at Chen Ruoruo and tried to persuade her.
"Okay, you take a rest for a while, we'll set off soon..." Zhou Zhiguo looked at Chen Ruoruo's determined expression, interrupted Xia Xiaoying's words, and glanced at Han Xiao and others beside him. It seemed that he would have to bring a medical staff with him later.
"Yeah..." Chen Ruoruo nodded in response.
Then, the group sat down not far away again, but they would occasionally turn their eyes towards Chen Ruoruo, always paying attention to her condition.
Chen Ruoruo touched the few still warm ones in front of her, thinking that she had scared them just now. She hadn't had a nightmare for a long time, let alone being trapped in a nightmare like today and unable to escape. It seemed that she was really scared this time.
Looking at the several peaks not far away, Chen Ruoruo's eyes flashed, and then she looked at the group of people not far away who were looking at her with worry, as well as the team members who were ready to go farther away, and several convoys next to them. The current situation obviously did not allow her to escape.
After Zhou Zhiguo arranged the team members, he called Han Xiao and Qi Jiang aside and gave them some serious instructions.
"Ruoruo, the situation this time is really unusual. When we go up the mountain, you must stay by her side all the time..." Zhou Zhiguo said, looking at the two people in front of him.
"We will protect Ruoruo..." Qi Jiang responded immediately.
"Yeah..." Han Xiao responded in a deep voice.
"Also, if you encounter danger... take Ruoruo and leave quickly back to the base..." Zhou Zhiguo looked at the two of them and gave instructions.
"Hmm..." The two men responded as they looked at Zhou Zhiguo with a serious expression.
They all knew that although Chen Ruoruo did not give them a warning, it did not mean that there was no danger around them. Moreover, the abnormal behavior of her and the few people around her made them feel very strange.
These abnormal behaviors seemed to indicate that there might be greater danger around them, which made them feel very uneasy, as if a pair of eyes were watching them in secret.
About twenty minutes later, Zhou Zhiguo came to Chen Ruoruo.
"Ruoruo, we have to get ready to set off..." Zhou Zhiguo said to Chen Ruoruo.
"Well... okay..." Chen Ruoruo nodded in response, then stood up and prepared to pick up the mutant black bear fur cloak that was spread on the ground.
"Actually... you can continue to wait here for us to come back..." Zhou Zhiguo saw Chen Ruoruo put away the thick mutant black bear fur cloak in her arms, and his originally cold expression broke into several cracks. He paused and spoke to her softly again.
"..." Chen Ruoruo turned her back to Zhou Zhiguo, pretended to put the mutant black bear cloak into the space, then turned around and looked at Zhou Zhiguo with a firm look.
"..." Zhou Zhiguo looked at Chen Ruoruo, sighed, and turned away.
Afterwards, Chen Ruoruo turned over and climbed onto Erlangzi's back, letting it carry her as she followed the troops to a nearby mountain. Han Xiao and Qi Jiang followed in front and behind her respectively, surrounding her in the middle to protect her.
As everyone walked forward, they found that the stench in the air was getting stronger and stronger. The stench seemed to be solidified in the air. Everyone couldn't help but reach out and cover their noses tightly, but the smell still penetrated into the nasal cavity through every pore, making people feel nauseous.
The ground beneath their feet became increasingly sticky, and everyone's shoes were covered with a thick, unknown, transparent, and sticky mucus. Every step they took made a "sizzling" sound, as if countless worms were crawling on the soles of their feet.
Everyone's faces turned very ugly. As they continued to move forward, the slime on the ground became thicker and thicker. When they stepped on it, half of their foot sank into it.
When I lifted my foot up again, it pulled out dense and long white silk, which was a creepy sight. Then I stepped down again, and there was that sticky and slippery feeling again.
Because of the strong stench and the sticky and disgusting feeling under their feet, many people felt so nauseous that they couldn't help but vomit, and everyone's faces looked bad.
Because Chen Ruoruo was sitting on Erlangzi's body, apart from the stench in the air, she did not come into contact with any mucus.
However, Erlangzi and the Wolf King were a little annoyed. Their limbs were almost all stuck in the mucus, and they stumbled a little when walking.
As the group of people got closer, the sparse sounds around them became more and more obvious, as if something was quietly and quickly sliding around.
They either coiled around the branches of various trees on the mountain, or hid in the grass, or lay directly on the mountain. The number of them was staggering.
As the crowd approached, these mutant snakes seemed to be disturbed by something and began to wriggle and flee into the depths of the jungle.
