Su Ruojin pointed to the fog that suddenly thickened ahead and said, "This fog is different from the white fog outside. It contains green and miasma."
She opened her bag, took out two medicine bottles, and tossed them to Xiao Yanchu: "Take these medicines, one pill each, which will protect you from the miasma for two hours. Take another one when the time is up. The other is an ointment, which you can apply to exposed areas of your body to repel mosquitoes and poison."
Xiao Yanchu did as instructed.
After everyone had taken their medicine, Su Ruojin was about to lead the way into the thick fog when her hand was grabbed.
She turned around and saw that it was Xiao Yanchu who had pulled her back.
Xiao Yanchu explained, "The fog is too thick here, I'm afraid we'll get separated."
Su Ruojin glanced at the fog ahead and nodded: "Hu Qing, you guys be careful too, don't get separated."
"Yes, Miss Su." Hu Qing understood the gravity of the situation and had no interest in watching her master's predicament.
Besides, isn't it perfectly natural for the prince to hold Miss Su's hand?
Su Ruojin and Xiao Yanchu were the first to step into the thick fog. Xiao Yanchu's hand clenched tighter, and he felt that the hand he was holding was very small and soft.
In addition to the moisture, the fog also carried a fishy, foul smell.
However, having taken the medication beforehand, apart from the fog smelling a bit strange, no one felt particularly uncomfortable.
"Stay close, be careful."
As the fog grew thicker, Su Ruojin called out.
"yes!"
"yes!"
The guards responded in response.
Su Ruojin knew that her medicine could repel mosquitoes and poisonous creatures, but it couldn't protect against the ferocious beasts in Shenyu Mountain.
The deeper they went into the heart of the mountain, the more likely they were to encounter ferocious beasts.
"There's movement." As soon as Xiao Yanchu raised his hand, everyone stopped, held their breath, and listened intently.
Sure enough, a rustling sound was heard, as if something was coming from a distance.
As the sound drew closer, the rustling sound turned into a thumping sound, like something heavy being stepped on.
"Oh no, it's a wild boar!" Xiao Yanchu was the first to react.
Judging from the noise, this wild boar is quite large.
It's not impossible for so many of them to deal with a wild boar, but it would take a lot of effort, and if anyone got injured, it would be a huge loss.
"Climb the tree first!" Su Ruojin turned around and prepared to climb the nearest tree. It would be the best solution to avoid the wild boar and let it pass.
The next second, she felt a hand around her waist, and Xiao Yanchu's voice rang in her ear: "Ajin, hold me tight."
Su Ruojin instinctively hugged Xiao Yanchu's waist. Xiao Yanchu pushed off the ground and, with a turn, carried Su Ruojin up to a thicker tree branch.
After securing himself on the branch, Xiao Yanchu still had his hand on Su Ruojin's waist: "I'm afraid Ajin will fall."
Su Ruojin: ......
Before she could say anything more, the wild boar had already charged at her.
Ordinary wild boars usually weigh around 100 to 200 kilograms, but this one in front of us looks to be about 500 to 600 kilograms, and from a distance it looks like a small, movable hill.
Because of its enormous size, the wind it brought with it dispersed most of the dense fog in the vicinity.
The wild boar's blackish-brown fur was like countless steel needles stuck into its body, incredibly hard. Its limbs were thicker than the tree branches under Su Ruojin's feet. Its eyes gleamed red, and its two tusks radiated a chilling aura even in the fog.
The wild boar seemed to smell human scent, abruptly stopping and grunting as it sniffed around, searching for its target.
Suddenly, the wild boar seemed to have found its target and began frantically charging into a tree.
Hu Qing and another guard were caught off guard and nearly fell off the tree. They managed to stay upright by clinging to the trunk.
Thump!
Thump!
