Escape after crossing

Chapter 188 Adventure in the Mountains (5)

Leng Chenming was standing nearby, so of course he heard Jiang Ziluo's muttering. He couldn't help but want to tease this cute little girl.

"How about we go back and take another look? Maybe we missed some more precious herbs than this one? What a pity!"

Jiang Ziluo heard it, a medicinal herb more precious than this three hundred year old ginseng. The sudden light in his eyes made Leng Chenming laugh.

"Wake up, little girl, have you forgotten what we experienced yesterday? If we go back again, we may not be able to escape alive."

Jiang Ziluo sighed in disappointment, "Oh, well, safety is still the most important thing. But we are lucky to find this ginseng!" She carefully put the ginseng away.

The two decided to continue on their journey to find more precious herbs. Along the way, they paid attention to the surrounding vegetation and indeed found quite a few rare medicinal herbs.

Along the way, Jiang Ziluo was concentrating on looking for various herbs, while Leng Chenming was paying attention to whether there were stones worth throwing on both sides of the road, while vigilantly observing the movements around him.

Whenever he encountered some small animals, such as rabbits or pheasants, Leng Chenming would act quickly, turning the stones in his hands into deadly hidden weapons, accurately hitting the targets, causing them to fall into a coma or be unable to move.

Jiang Ziluo would take out a rope from the space she carried with her and hand it to Leng Chenming, who would then skillfully tie up the prey with the rope and then hold it in his hand.

Today's trip was relatively peaceful, and they did not encounter any large animals. They only found some small creatures such as rabbits, pheasants and small snakes along the way, which was not a big problem for these two experienced people.

Jiang Ziluo and Leng Chenming worked in perfect harmony, one was responsible for collecting herbs and the other was responsible for hunting, and the whole process seemed orderly.

In the evening, they finally found a relatively safe place to rest. Jiang Ziluo carefully cooked a pot of nutritious soup with the herbs and pheasants he had found.

The two of them devoured the delicious food and shared their day's harvest with relish.

Jiang Ziluo found several ginseng plants, but only the first one was older, the others were not very old.

In addition, she also found Panax notoginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, Dendrobium... Among them, Panax notoginseng was what she dug up the most. After all, Panax notoginseng is a good medicine for stopping bleeding, so the more the better.

The night deepened, and the inky darkness enveloped the earth. After Jiang Ziluo changed the medicine for Leng Chenming's wound, he looked up at the starry sky and couldn't help but sigh: "Although this adventure is full of dangers, the rewards are extremely rich."

Leng Chenming looked at her with tenderness in his eyes, "As long as you are by my side, any difficulties can be overcome."

The evening breeze blew the leaves, making a rustling sound. Jiang Ziluo and Leng Chenming sat around the fire, enjoying the rare quiet time.

"We have been here for three days, and the one-month period will be up tomorrow. We haven't gone back yet, and I'm afraid they will be worried." Jiang Ziluo thought to himself, frowning slightly.

This mountain was so huge that she couldn't help but think of all the difficulties and obstacles she had encountered before. She felt even heavier in her heart. She didn't know how many more days it would take for them to get out of this vast mountain, and she didn't know what kind of dangers and challenges were waiting for them ahead.

"We have to go back as soon as possible. In addition to the reply from Lingxi Kingdom, there will also be the will of the king. Xuanyi and his men can't handle it."

Leng Chenming's voice was filled with worry. He was fully aware of the importance of this mission and the possible consequences. However, facing this mysterious and unfamiliar mountain, even he, who had been through many battles, felt a little overwhelmed.

But worrying cannot change the current situation. This deep mountain is like an unknown territory to them.

They can only move forward cautiously, groping their way forward step by step. However, at least this can ensure their safety. In this environment full of crises and variables, every step needs to be taken with extreme caution.

With the twinkling stars and the cool breeze, both of them closed their eyes and prepared to have a good rest so that they could deal with various unexpected situations that might arise tomorrow in the best condition.

However, in the middle of the night, something unexpected happened. The last time they encountered a wolf pack in the middle of the night, there was no wolf king leading them, but this time, the wolf king personally led a group of vicious wolves to attack, and in addition, the two bears that had been scared away also came with them.

Jiang Ziluo and Leng Chenming woke up instantly, and without much time to think, they picked up their weapons and faced the hungry wolf and the bear. The wolf king stared at them fiercely, saliva dripping from his sharp teeth. The battle was about to break out, and the two sides started a desperate fight.

Leng Chenming wielded the saber swiftly, engaging in a fierce battle with the wolf king. Jiang Ziluo knew that the bow and arrow could not be used for the time being, so he could only take the poison needles and scalpels in the space in his hands, shuttled among the wolves, and fired the homemade poison needles at the same time.

However, the addition of the bears made the battle more difficult. Their huge strength and hard fur greatly reduced the effectiveness of Leng Chenming and Jiang Ziluo's attacks.

Both of them were injured to varying degrees. Leng Chenming knew very well that if they continued to fight like this, even if they were not beaten to death, they would probably die of exhaustion.

When he was resting just now, he had noticed that there was a higher hillside behind them, but the battle was in full swing at the moment and it was difficult to find the correct direction for a while.

Moreover, the two of them had been separated, and some of the poison needles fired by Jiang Ziluo hit the wolves, while others fell to the ground. Even those poison needles that hit the wolf pack could not immediately produce obvious effects.

Fortunately, Leng Chenming successfully held back the bear, allowing Jiang Ziluo to use the scalpel in her hand to cause some damage to the wolves.

Jiang Ziluo kept approaching Leng Chenming in the fierce battle, and at the same time she fell into deep thought. What method could quickly help them get out of the predicament? She thought silently in her heart.

Suddenly, she remembered that she had hidden explosives in her space, but at the moment they were too close to the bear and the wolf pack, and using explosives might be dangerous to herself.

Then, she thought of the bow and arrow, but this was also not a good idea. At this moment, a thought flashed through Jiang Ziluo's mind: She had always been curious whether her space could accommodate living things. This thought made her heart beat faster, but also made her worried.

After all, knowing a secret and exploring a secret are two completely different things. Regardless of whether Leng Chenming would be scared after being brought into the space, if he accidentally leaked the secret in the future, Jiang Ziluo would face endless troubles and might even fall into an irretrievable situation.

Therefore, Jiang Ziluo's mood was very complicated, full of curiosity and worry. However, the current situation was urgent and she didn't have much time to think carefully. At this time, the two finally managed to get together.
