Chapter 165: Mountain Training 4
The cave that Qian Dayuan and his friends found was not big enough to set up four tents, so they could only set up two large tents, with two people squeezing into each tent.
"Xiao Wang, what's wrong with you?"
Qian Dayuan saw Wang Xing scratching his ankle and frowned slightly before asking.
"It's okay, just a little itchy."
Although he said it was okay, his hands were scratching harder and harder, and his face was becoming more and more painful.
"let me see."
Qian Dayuan frowned, walked over to him, squatted down, moved his arm away, and checked the place where he had been scratching.
It was already red and swollen, and there was even a big lump.
"Did you get bitten by something?"
Looking at the spot on his ankle, Qian Dayuan felt a little worried and prayed in his heart that it was not a bite from a poisonous insect.
Wang Xing didn't know what he was thinking. He was feeling very itchy at the moment, so he anxiously pushed away the hand on his ankle and scratched it again.
"Don't scratch it with your fingernails, it's poisonous."
Seeing his rough actions, Qian Dayuan quickly warned him.
But Wang Xing couldn't listen to him at this moment. He scratched his ankle with a painful expression.
"What's wrong with him?"
At this moment, the other two who had set up the tent came over, looked at his appearance and asked Qian Dayuan in confusion.
"I don't know if it's a bug bite or something else I'm allergic to, but I keep scratching."
"I have a spray there, let's see if it works for him."
Seeing this, one of the young boys turned around to find his bag, and soon came back with a white bottle.
"Let's try and see if it works." Sun Lin handed the medicine to Wang Xing.
Wang Xing couldn't wait to grab the spray from his hand and spray it hard on the red and swollen area.
The cooling sensation when the medicine is first applied provides a momentary relief to the itchy and unbearable area, but this is followed by a slight stinging sensation and even more unbearable itching.
"Why doesn't this work?"
Wang Xing was unwilling to give up and kept spraying the medicine. In a blink of an eye, he had used up half of the small bottle of medicine.
The other three wanted to stop him, but in the end they just let him use it.
"My leg won't be broken, will it?"
The spray didn't work, so he had to give up. He rubbed his ankle vigorously with sweat on his forehead and asked the other three people fearfully.
"How could that be? There are many insects in the forest. You might just be bitten by one of them. It's nothing serious."
Qian Dayuan's words gave him some comfort. Although he did not stop the movements of his hands, he regained a lot of rationality.
Somehow, he suddenly remembered the cry of pain that he had vaguely heard when he was cutting the vines.
He was filled with panic, wondering if there really was something...
"No, no..."
"Wang Xing, what are you talking about?"
Sun Lin, who was standing by, saw him mumbling and asked him.
"Ah, it's okay, it's okay."
He lowered his head and continued to rub his ankles with his hands, speaking in a slightly flustered tone.
It was raining heavily outside, forcing them to stay in the cave. The rain lasted the entire afternoon until the sky darkened and the rain stopped.
Because of the rain, they couldn't make a fire, so they had to eat the bread they brought with them.
"Rustle, rustle—"
"Did you hear any noise?"
Qian Dayuan was eating the bread in his hand when he suddenly frowned and looked up at his companion.
"What?"
Except for Wang Xing, who had no time to pay attention to what he said, the other two looked at him with confusion.
"Nothing, maybe I'm hallucinating."
Seeing this, he didn't think much about it and continued to eat the bread in his hand.
"Rustle, rustle, rustle—"
"Something's approaching."
This time the sound was particularly close. Qian Dayuan was very sure that he had not heard it wrong. He looked up at them with a serious face.
The other two were about to tell him that he was being overly suspicious when suddenly the sound became louder and louder and came closer and closer to them.
“Rustle, rustle—rustle—”
The three of them suddenly stood up and ran to the cave entrance. The sky was slightly dark, but not completely dark yet.
However, because the trees in the forest were tall and completely blocked out the light, they could not see clearly what was approaching them and could only see vague shadows.
It was a 'long dragon' as thick as a python, coming towards them quickly.
"Hurry! Go!"
They quickly ran back to the cave, picked up Wang Xing, who was still rubbing his ankle, and ran away.
"Can you walk on your own?"
Although Wang Xing was thin, he was a tall adult man after all. Moreover, they were now in the mountains and forests, with weeds and trees everywhere, so it would be difficult for them to run if they carried him.
Wang Xing had no idea what was going on. He was being dragged along by them for no apparent reason. After hearing what they were saying, he quickly replied:
"I can do it."
Seeing that he was really capable, Qian Dayuan and Sun Lin let him go, so that all three of them could go faster.
“Huh—huh—huh—”
After an afternoon, Wang Xing's ankle had become extremely swollen.
Although he could run at this moment, his ankles were getting more and more painful because he was exerting force on his feet, and his speed was getting slower and slower.
The rustling sound behind him was getting closer and closer to him, and he couldn't help but look back while running.
The woods here happened to be sparse and there was still some light in the sky. He could see clearly what was chasing them through the light.
It was a vine as thick as a man's thigh, covered with barbs, and it was attacking them at an unusual speed.
Looking at that familiar vine, isn't it just an enlarged version of the vine he cut today?!
His pupils suddenly dilated several times, filled with fear and disbelief.
"A monster! There's a ghost!"
Suddenly he let out a loud, miserable cry, which resounded throughout the entire forest and startled many birds.
Then he ran forward quickly regardless of the pain in his ankle.
The other three people in front of him heard his frightened cry and couldn't help but look back.
However, before they could see clearly what it was, they saw Wang Xing quickly overtake them at an astonishing speed and run forward desperately.
Now they didn't care to see what was behind them, Yixin just wanted to escape.
However, the direction they were running in was indeed deep in the mountains and forests.
"Grandpa, they're running inside. Should we still go?"
A childish voice was blown into the air by the wind as the vines moved quickly.
"Hurry up a bit, or if that man's leg is broken, the consequences will be on you."
Although the old man's voice was old, it was full of energy. As he finished speaking, the speed of the vines became faster.
The speed of Qian Dayuan and the other three was stimulated by Wang Xing. They didn't know what terrible thing Wang Xing saw that made him ignore his feet and be so frightened.
But judging from the unknown thing behind them, they had no choice but to keep running forward. It was not certain whether they could get rid of it. But, hey, why was there no movement behind them?
They looked back in surprise and found that the thing that had been chasing them was indeed gone. Could it be that they had really gotten rid of it?
