Liang Li and Li Kaixuan hurried to catch up.
Only after crossing this hill can we enter the canyon. It took us a whole night to walk over most of the hill.
At this time, they had eaten all the food, and Liang Li broke the last small piece of moldy brown sugar bun into three parts, giving each of the three people half.
Zhou Tingyue took the small piece of steamed bun, looked at it for a while, and then started eating it in small bites.
They ate too much and choked. They hadn't had any water for over a day.
There was no water left in the water bottle I carried with me.
During the day, I was so thirsty that I could only chew a few leaves or wild grass to quench my thirst.
But the feeling is really hard to describe.
Mouth full of bitterness.
This can only add more water to your mouth, but it is very difficult to quench your thirst.
Liang Li carefully finished the last bite of food. Even though he rolled his eyes due to choking, he still felt heartbroken.
"Alas, we have lost our last morsel of food! What shall we do if we cannot get out?"
And judging by the situation tonight, it might be sunny tomorrow.
The weather is clearing up and it's going to start to get hot.
Once you get hot and start sweating, the water in your body evaporates faster!
Is their final fate destined to be trapped and die here?
Zhou Tingyue is not someone who gives up easily.
"Brother Liang, Brother Li, we're not far from the gunshots just now. If it's really Old Zheng and the others, then there's an entrance over there. If there's an entrance, there's an exit. We'll definitely get out alive!"
Liang Li and Li Kaixuan became excited when they heard this.
"Yeah, no matter what, we can't give up! Let's go!"
"Exactly. If it's really Lao Zheng and the others, I'll definitely ask them for some water!"
The three of them grabbed a handful of wild grass roots, chewed them, and continued on their way.
Song Shiwei and the others also ran for a long time without stopping, but when the sky began to turn white, they noticed that there was a forest of strange rocks in front of them.
There are stones all around.
It is so densely packed with people, high and low, that people can't tell east from west, south from north.
Old Li slapped his thigh anxiously.
"Oh no! It's dark now, and we were so busy trying to escape that we accidentally ended up in this stone forest!"
"Stone Forest Formation?"
Song Shiwei and Lao Zheng were both extremely curious.
"Isn't this place uninhabited? Why is there a stone forest formation?"
"That's right. Generally speaking, wouldn't it be someone who's well-versed in gossip who would set up a formation? Uncle Li, who is this old man who created the Stone Forest Formation? Why did he appear in this uninhabited Death Valley?"
Old Li looked at the densely packed stones around him and sighed deeply.
"No one can explain the origin of this stone forest formation. Some say it was set up by hundreds of sorcerers during a war hundreds of years ago, while others say it was formed naturally. But no matter what, the ultimate explanation is the same: once you enter this stone forest formation, there's no hope of coming out alive!"
"ah??"
Old Zheng's eyes widened in shock.
"Why can't I get out alive? Could it be that this stone has become a spirit?"
Song Shiwei fell into deep thought. In fact, Captain Sun had mentioned this matter before they came. He said that there were dangers everywhere in the Death Valley, such as falling rocks, stone formations, strong magnetic fields, etc. At that time, she thought it was a bit mysterious, but she didn't expect that they were all real!
"Uncle Li, didn't you go into the stone forest the last time you came here?"
Old Li shook his head and said, "I didn't come in. I went into Death Valley to pick herbs. I saw that this side was all rocks, so I didn't go in at all. Instead, I went around through a small forest nearby!"
Unexpectedly, last night, they ran desperately without finding the direction and actually ran into this stone forest!
But it's too late to say anything now.
Especially when he saw the identical stone scenery all around him, he really felt like crying but had no tears.
"What should I do... I have no idea where I am heading after entering this stone formation!"
Old Zheng also sat down on the ground in a somewhat dejected manner, breathing heavily.
After running for so long, he was indeed a little tired. In addition, he was covered in wounds and the snake venom had not been completely eliminated, so his body was extremely weak.
"What the hell is this place? Why are there so many weird things?"
Old Li also felt that if he continued walking, he might get even more lost, so he simply sat down and ate something together to recover his strength.
Song Shiwei ate the dry and hard bread in small bites and drank the water in the kettle, while thinking about all the strange stories he had read, including what to do if he got lost in the wild.
Suddenly she seemed to think of something.
He took off the watch from his wrist and laid it flat on the ground.
Then I randomly found a small wooden stick on the ground and stood it upright. Then I placed the watch horizontally on the ground, overlapping the shadow of the wooden stick and the short hand. The middle of the twelve o'clock direction on the surface and the scale pointed by the short hand was south, and the opposite side was north.
Song Shiwei pointed ahead and said excitedly, "That way, that's east! This way is south! When we first entered the valley, we walked from northwest to southeast. Uncle Li, if we keep following the southeast direction, can we get out?"
Old Li looked at the watch on the ground, then looked at the direction she pointed, and was a little surprised.
"Yes, if we keep walking in the southeast direction, we should be able to get out!"
Old Zheng also stood up in surprise: "Great! What are we waiting for? Let's go now?"
As he said this, he was about to move forward, but Old Li grabbed his arm.
"Wait, your wound should be dressed. Now that we know the direction, it won't be too late to set off after the dressing is changed!"
Song Shiwei also agreed, especially when she saw that the gauze on Brother Zheng's back was soaked with blood.
It was obvious that the intense exercise just now had caused the wound to split open again.
Old Li helped him remove the gauze bit by bit, and the blood inside immediately gushed out.
Looking at the hideous wound on his back, Song Shiwei couldn't imagine how much pain he was in.
But Lao Zheng just smiled.
"It's okay. During a previous battle, Tingyue was injured even more severely than I was, but he refused to say a word. It was not until the end of the mission that we discovered that his entire waist and abdomen had been pierced by the enemy's sword. The blood had even stained his pants! He didn't faint until we got to the hospital! Tsk tsk tsk... Just that one time, I respected him as a man..."
As a result, as he was speaking, the wound was suddenly pressed by Old Li, and he grimaced in pain.
"Uncle Li, please be gentle..."
But Old Li pointed in Song Shiwei's direction and signaled him to stop talking.
Old Zheng turned his head and saw Song Shiwei's red eyes with tears welling up in them.
"Brother Zheng, are you telling the truth?"
