Chapter 217 Going Down the Mountain
First it was the heart, liver... and finally the first-level crystal found in the snake gall.
Perhaps this big snake is the same species as the small snake encountered at the entrance of the base before. The first-level crystal found in its gallbladder is also of fire nature. The crystal is completely red, but it is extremely dazzling in this half-dark sky. However, it is really small. With this crystal, only one weapon can be made.
Lao Gao took a look and asked, "Didn't you say before that lightning powers could be used to make other weapons? This crystal can't be used to make other weapons, right?"
After saying that, Lao Gao suddenly felt something was wrong. "Could it be that this kind of thing is everywhere?"
Brother Zhang handed the first-level crystal to Lao Gao. He had said before the mission that everything in it belonged to them. The big snake was originally killed by the four of them, so the first-level crystal should also belong to them.
After handing over the crystal, Brother Zhang replied, "They're definitely not everywhere, but there are certainly quite a few in this dense forest. We're just thankful that these things can only stay here, otherwise..."
Otherwise, wouldn’t everything be in chaos long ago?
Lao Gao handed the crystal to Lan Jin. Although he didn't say it explicitly, it was obvious that he wanted Lan Jin to put it into the space, because they didn't feel safe anywhere else except the space.
Brother Zhang didn't find this scene strange. Before in the base, he had a vague feeling that everyone seemed to be more inclined towards Lan Jin.
The night was getting darker and darker. After dark, it would be even more dangerous here. He hurriedly said, "Let's get down the mountain first. We can't stay here overnight."
This place was indeed not suitable for staying overnight, but the four of them had not forgotten their main mission this time. Lan Jin said, "We are here to weed, right? Will we come up tomorrow?"
"Let's talk about it after we get down the mountain."
After saying that, Brother Zhang urged them to go down the mountain quickly.
…
The moonlight was already dimming, and after walking a short distance, the mountain road became completely dark.
They did have flashlights, but they could only illuminate the road in front of them and could not walk faster. In addition, their internal injuries had not been treated, so their pace of going down the mountain had to slow down even more.
They originally thought that they would not be able to get down the mountain before midnight, but after climbing a small hill, they suddenly saw a path made of fluorescent sticks. It not only illuminated the dark mountain road, but also pointed out the right path to prevent them from going the wrong way.
Huang Jinghe asked, "Who made this? How clever!"
It's smart, but the color of the fluorescent stick is too bright. It's very dazzling when you get close to it. But it's good enough that you can get down the mountain safely. Who cares about these things?
The road was tortuous but I was lucky. After all, I didn't see any mutant creatures along the way.
Finally reaching the steep staircase they had come from, they barely poked their heads out of the water when they heard a commotion below. Several large flashlights flashed in their direction, illuminating the path they had to descend. Seeing that all five were safe and sound, the people below excitedly shouted, "Captain, you're all back safely! We were so worried."
I'm not worried to death. The situation was so critical just now, but it's the best that people can come back alive.
After Brother Zhang went down, many people couldn't help but hug each other.
And the four of them...
I was really exhausted from climbing, and I sat down on the ground, not wanting to get up at all.
But even if we get here, it is not the end at all. There is still a long way down the mountain to go.
They could only grit their teeth and keep going.
…
After finally getting down the mountain, the first thing they did was to ask the military doctor to check the injuries of the five of them. The most seriously injured among them was Brother Zhang, whose internal organs were damaged to varying degrees, but fortunately, none of the injuries were vital, otherwise they would not have been able to walk on the mountain road for such a long time.
The military doctor sighed, "You're so lucky. If it were a little more serious, you might not be able to walk today."
The remaining three people, Ling Jiang, Huang Jinghe and Lao Gao, were not seriously injured and would be fine after resting for a while.
But when it comes to the lightest, it is still Lanjin.
Lan Jin had eaten the lotus seeds in the spiritual spring. The lotus seeds had the effect of cleansing the marrow. After the impurities in the body were gone, not only did his strength increase, but his body's resistance and healing abilities were also amazing.
For example, take resistance. Under the same attack, Lan Jin can withstand injuries better than ordinary people due to marrow cleansing. Other people's injuries may be very serious, but for her, the injuries will be much lighter.
Speaking of healing ability, if you drink the spiritual spring water after getting injured, the injured area will heal immediately.
But after the marrow cleansing, she would be fine even if she didn't drink the spiritual spring water. Her injuries were originally lighter, and they would heal quickly over time.
This doesn't take long. Others may need a month, but for her, it only takes a few hours.
This is also why, when the military doctor examined their injuries, Lan Jin's injuries were the lightest, because she had already healed most of them on her own during the process of climbing the mountain.
Although Lan Jin's injuries were minor, no one would suspect anything. Don't you allow people to be stronger? Besides, she originally had the ability of thunder and lightning, so what if she was stronger?
Seeing that the injuries of the five of them were not too serious, everyone was finally relieved.
After letting go of the worry, the most important thing is to eat.
However, they were really tired after fighting for a whole day. Lan Jin didn't want to join in the conversation at all. She took her bowl and found a corner to sit down.
Seeing her leaving alone, Ling Jiang hurried forward, followed by Lao Gao and Huang Jinghe.
Lan Jin asked, "You don't have to follow me. I'm just too tired and don't want to talk at all. If I weren't so hungry, I wouldn't even bother to open my mouth."
"I'm the same. I don't even dare drink the water from the spiritual spring. I'm afraid my injury will be noticed when I go back for a checkup."
"It's okay. We've already checked it out. We'll feel more at ease if we go back and check it again. They say the body has a strong healing ability. It's so painful to endure the injury. I'll drink it before going to bed."
After hearing what she said, Lao Gao and Huang Jinghe nodded and agreed with her point of view.
Just as the four were about to have a good meal, the fat girl who had been rescued earlier limped towards them with a bowl of rice.
She glanced at the four of them and asked, "Can I sit here, please?"
The four of them looked at her and didn't refuse. Ling Jiang moved aside and the fat girl sat down.
The fat girl glanced at them and asked, "Are you the new special ability team recruited by the base?"
Ling Jiang swallowed the food in his mouth and replied, "No, we are just passing by and took on a temporary mission. We will leave here later."
The fat girl was a little surprised when she heard this answer: "Ah, then you won't stay here later?"
Lao Gao replied: "No, we will leave here once our injuries are healed."
