Chapter 104 109. Su Xin Disfigured
Fang Suxin had a dream last night. In the dream, there was a cave with complicated paths until three entrances appeared. She followed her intuition and entered the middle entrance. She kept walking until she saw a cold pool. She sank to the bottom of the pool and swam with the water. After an unknown amount of time, she came to an underwater secret realm with tall blood-red corals, colorful shell nests, and a huge glowing snow-white clam shell in the nest.
When she dreamed of this, two bighead carp suddenly appeared. They opened their mouths wide, and their sharp steel teeth flashed with a cold light. She was suddenly awakened by the fright.
At dawn, Fang Suxin led the team's psychics out of the base and searched several caves, but none of them were the ones in her dream. It was not until she walked into this intricate cave that she was sure that her dream was real.
Fang Suxin walked in front to lead the way. The cave was dark. After turning a corner, she suddenly saw three cave entrances that were exactly the same as in her dream. She was pleasantly surprised. Just as she was about to step forward, she saw a black shadow rushing towards her. The next moment, she felt a sharp pain on her forehead.
"ah!"
"Su Xin!"
Fang Jie quickly pulled out his long knife and used it to overturn the thing that was pressing on Fang Suxin. With a "rip" sound, the fangs of the fathead fish that was overturned scratched Fang Suxin's forehead, tearing out a deep piece of flesh.
"Ah!" Fang Suxin screamed again, her whole body twisted in pain. She reached out to touch her forehead, and blood flowed out.
Fang Zhi picked up the flashlight on the ground, shone it at Fang Suxin, and immediately gasped: "Cousin!"
"Hurry up and get some medicine and gauze to stop the bleeding." Fang Zhi immediately helped Fang Suxin up and let her sit against the wall of the cave. He took the Yunnan Baiyao and gauze that Fang Suxin took out from the space and bandaged them quickly.
Fang Jie and several team members quickly chopped the two bighead carps into several pieces. Fang Suxin bandaged the pieces while shining a flashlight on them. Suddenly, her sight focused on the two fish in her dream last night.
"Little sister, how is your sister injured?" After dealing with the bighead carp, Fang Jie walked over quickly and squatted down to check Fang Suxin's forehead.
"I have no way of judging this." Fang Zhi's expression froze. Thinking of the deep dent on Fang Suxin's forehead, she was most likely disfigured, but she didn't dare say it out loud. She couldn't imagine how important appearance was to her cousin. She couldn't imagine how devastated she would be if she knew she was disfigured.
Fang Suxin's mind was not on her appearance at all at this moment. She was focused on the treasure she was about to find and did not hear the implied meaning of Fang Zhi's words.
"Brother Jie, I'm fine. Let's keep going. If we delay any longer, I'm afraid we won't be able to get back to the base in time."
Before sunset, the base gate will be closed. If you miss the deadline, you can only spend the night outside the base. Outside the base, there are dangers everywhere, and the darkness will only multiply the danger. Every team on a mission will return to the base before sunset.
After the wound was bandaged, Fang Suxin led the group into the middle cave without hesitation. After another winding route, they finally arrived at the cold pond.
"Team Fang, you're injured, so it's not appropriate for you to go down to the cold pond. Just wait up there."
"Yes, the water in this cold pond is too cold for a girl like you to handle. Just wait for us here."
"Xinmei, you and my younger sister wait upstairs. I'll go down with the others."
Fang Suxin originally wanted to go into the water herself, but she was injured and couldn't risk her life to find the treasure, so she nodded and agreed.
The two waited there for a long time but there was no movement.
Fang Zhi walked back and forth anxiously by the pond. Suddenly, amidst the mist, the originally deep pond water turned blood-red.
"Cousin, look!"
Fang Suxin heard the shouting and rushed over. Looking at the increasingly dark pool of water, her face turned pale and she bit her lips tightly.
She leaned over, wanting to take a closer look, but unexpectedly, an arm stretched out from the water and pulled her under.
"ah!"
