Chapter 1125 Complete Trust
Following the same route they came from, the group quickly returned to where Steve had been.
Steve was waiting anxiously, but when he heard the footsteps, he immediately perked up. He walked forward and tiptoed with a torch to check, and saw a group of people coming.
Li Jinxing and Nie Yao, sandwiched between the group of indigenous people, walked towards him together.
"Mr. Li, senior sister--" Steve shouted in surprise and joy when he saw them. He walked over, gave Li Jinxing a big hug, and was about to hug Nie Yao.
But he subconsciously glanced at Li Jinxing and gave up the idea of hugging the senior sister. He asked excitedly: "Senior sister, where did you run off to before? I couldn't find you and was so worried!"
"Just now, I accidentally triggered the stone door mechanism. I thought I was locked in a secret room, but I found another secret passage inside. I groped my way and found another secret room..."
Nie Yao explained with a faint smile, and saw several indigenous people around her walk forward, helping one of their leaders to stand up, muttering something.
Her face immediately darkened and she asked worriedly, "What happened to him?"
"Senior, when they came down with Mr. Li to look for you just now, they passed by a trap, the same trap where we were almost injured. They were accidentally shot by a poisonous arrow fired from the wall..."
Steve sighed softly and explained to Nie Yao helplessly, "Although it's just a scratch, the arrowhead is poisonous. I gave him detoxification pills and bandaged him, hoping to hold him over for a while, but now it seems that it's not enough..."
Nie Yao stepped forward to check for a moment, sniffed his breath, and said in a deep voice: "No, we can't delay any longer, we have to leave here as soon as possible!"
She glanced at the area bandaged by Steve. Steve's technique was spot on. Although the area eroded by the poisonous arrow was a bit scary, the poison had not yet spread along her arm...
Several natives helped the injured leader up. Nie Yao took out an antidote pill from his pocket and fed it to the man. He asked them to feed him some purified water, and then the group set off immediately.
On the way back, Nie Yao thought of the leader who was injured. She couldn't help but hold Li Jinxing's hand and asked with concern: "Li Jinxing, how are you? Are you not injured?"
Li Jinxing shook his head and smiled softly, then replied softly, "No, these indigenous people have been protecting me all the way..."
Nie Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the injured aboriginal, she sighed softly, "They really do regard you as their Highness and are willing to risk their lives to protect you!"
Li Jinxing also nodded slightly and whispered, "Well, their reaction convinced me that they are worthy of my trust. After I get out, I will repay them!"
Nie Yao smiled with relief when she heard him say that. She blinked and reminded him, "You've finally met a group of people you can completely trust. I think you need a group of people like that around you!"
Li Jinxing also guessed Nie Yao's intention and said with a low laugh, "Yaoyao, I know what you are thinking. After your archaeological project is over, I will keep them all by my side and arrange the most suitable positions for them!"
Upon hearing this, Nie Yao nodded in agreement and chuckled softly, "They are more reliable than hiring bodyguards yourself. I think your future safety will be better guaranteed!"
