Hu Tun, quite familiar with the place, led everyone in one direction.
That place was actually not far from where everyone and Hutun had just met; it only took about two or three minutes to walk there.
Li Qing looked in the direction Hu Tun had indicated.
It was a small hill made up of piled-up rocks.
Hutun's mouth trembled as he said, "There weren't this many stones a moment ago. How come there are so many stones now? And this wheat..."
Li Qing snorted coldly, glancing at the earthen slope not far away. He thought to himself that the stones must have rolled down from there. This meteor shower had destroyed the surrounding environment, so it was normal for stones to fall. "Don't worry, I don't blame you."
Hu Tun was stunned for a moment, then looked at Li Qing with a face full of gratitude. Just as he was about to flatter him, Li Qing kicked him in the butt.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and help move these stones!"
Hutun was kicked so high that it bounced high into the air. After landing, it quickly rubbed its buttocks and stumbled along with the others who had gone to help, heading towards the pile of stones.
Li Qing didn't sit idle; he joined the others in moving stones. These stones were large and heavy, and sometimes a single person couldn't even move one. But fortunately, there was strength in numbers. Sometimes each person could move one stone, and when they encountered a larger or heavier one, two people would help each other. Soon, they could create a hole that allowed sunlight to shine through.
Is anyone inside?
Daohua asked timidly.
"who?"
Carboxyl's wary voice came through.
"It is I, Daohua."
"It's rice flowers," Daohua replied.
"Rice flowers!?" Carbohydrate was stunned, then muttered, "Oh my god, according to what Wheat always says, I must be dreaming, or am I already dead and hallucinating?"
Li Qing laughed and scolded, "Get lost! We came to rescue you, and you still doubt that this is a dream? Quick, answer me, how many people are still with you right now?"
Li Qing's words were an order to Suo. He didn't care about why Daohua had come back to life. After a moment of silence, he replied, "Yun, some young soldiers, and I are all trapped here."
Li Qing nodded and asked, "Are they all seriously injured?"
Carboxyl fell silent again.
Li Qing pursed his lips. He had stayed in that world for so long, and the carboxyl group up here must have been affected by the toxic elements. His question was pointless. With a sinking feeling, he changed his tone and asked, "Approximately how many people died?"
Carboxyl said, "Seven or eight."
so much.
These young warriors were all precious treasures to the tribe. The loss of seven or eight of them caused Li Qing's hand, which was carrying stones, to tremble involuntarily, and he almost fell on his foot.
Li Qing was furious with himself. He looked up at the sky and cursed, "Damn God!"
Li patted Li Qing on the shoulder and said, "Let's move quickly and rescue these survivors so that we can mourn our fallen comrades."
"Um."
Li Qing said softly.
Just then, Yun's voice suddenly came from the bottom corner. Her voice was extremely weak, like a candle flame about to go out, "Is that Li?"
"It's me."
"That's great, you're all alright. It seems like we're saved too."
"..."
Li was overwhelmed with mixed feelings, regretting that he hadn't returned to the ground sooner, which might have reduced the chances of an accident.
"Brothers... hurry, hurry up, we have to dig a hole as soon as possible!"
"clear!"
The members of the Red Flower Tribe shouted in unison.
With many hands making light work, the pile of stones, which was like a small mountain, was quickly dug out to create a hole large enough for a person to crawl out. The people inside seemed to discuss for a moment before handing out Yun, the only woman who had come with them, in two hands.
"Save Yun first. She's alright, we can hold on."
Carboxyl's voice came through.
cloud……
When Li Qing saw Yun, he almost didn't recognize her. Yun, who always had a smile on her face and was easily swayed by her emotions, had turned a terrifying dark purple all over her body, with huge blood clots all over her body. In particular, there was a wound on Yun's face that looked extremely fatal. If it was not properly treated later, Yun's later life would likely be disfigured.
The only thing that brought Li Qing a little comfort was Yun's eyes, which were full of life.
Taking Yun from the two of them, Li Qing took a simple mask from the crowd and put it on Yun.
"Sorry we're late."
“It’s alright, Mai Zi,” Yun forced a smile. “It’s my fault for dragging you down.”
"No, it's not your fault. Blame it on this damned fate!"
Yun struggled to sit up and looked around. When she saw the Li people moving stones to make room for more people to climb out, she shook her head slightly and said, "It's not a dream. They are really still alive. I knew it. They must still be alive!"
"By the way, Wheat, how did you know we were here?"
Li Qing tossed his toe to Hu Tun, who was also working hard, and said, "He told us."
Who is he?
Yun is, after all, a young man, and it's perfectly normal that he hasn't seen a veteran like Hutun from the White Feather Tribe.
Li Qing replied, "The White Feather Tribe... Wait, Yun, don't fall asleep!"
Seeing that Yun's eyelids were blinking as if she was dozing off, Li Qing was startled and quickly warned her.
If Yun were to sleep at this moment, she might never wake up again!
"But I'm so sleepy."
Yun yawned and said in a slightly coquettish tone.
"No, no, I absolutely can't sleep!"
Li Qing couldn't help but feel nervous.
"……Why?"
Yun was startled by Li Qing's serious expression and asked in a trembling voice.
"No means no!" Li Qing said firmly. "Yun, is there anything that's bothering you right now?"
Yun pouted and said, "I'm so tired, so thirsty, I want to sleep, my head is spinning, and why is my skin color so different from theirs? Wheat, what's wrong with me?"
Li Qing's face was grim, but facing the ignorant Yun, he still tried to speak in a cheerful tone: "It's okay, Yun, you're just a little tired. Don't worry, it's definitely not a serious illness. As long as you hold on and don't fall asleep, you'll be fine! As long as you can promise me that you won't fall asleep, I will definitely find Jie Wu and Cang for you as quickly as possible. With the two of them there, this little thing of yours is nothing!"
Held in Li Qing's arms, Yun comfortably rested her head against his chest and said sweetly, "I know, Mai Zi, I promise I won't fall asleep. You have to help me find them quickly, okay? I can't hold on much longer, I really want to rest."
