Ordinary people can also be extraordinary

The antennae of a dozen oversized "caterpillars" around Zhang Chen began to spray out mucus. Zhang Chen was unable to dodge and was still sprayed by two of the "caterpillars", and his body was covered with mucus.

Zhang Chen's heart instantly turned cold, thinking that he must have been poisoned by some kind of poisonous mucus, and his mind was already reeling from the memories.

But he did not feel any pain. However, the crisis was still there. Zhang Chen did not dare to delay and immediately used the earth escape technique and escaped into the earth. However, before he escaped far, Zhang Chen felt that he could not move his limbs. The mucus sprayed on his body was drying up quickly, sticking Zhang Chen's hands and legs to his body, and he could not pull them out.

Zhang Chen kept recalling the information about this insect in his mind, and finally he seemed to remember something that was somewhat similar. This insect was called the velvet weed. The mucus sprayed from its tentacles was very dangerous. Although it was non-toxic, it was very sticky. It was originally used for hunting. When the prey was sprayed with its mucus, the body would be firmly stuck and unable to move, and finally it would be eaten alive.

Zhang Chen's brows were furrowed at this time. His body was stuck and he couldn't take out the things in the storage bag. Fortunately, his own spiritual energy could still function normally, otherwise it would be troublesome.

Zhang Chen's situation now is like he has lost his hands and feet. He has no way to sneak attack the insect swarm anymore. Zhang Chen can only use the earth escape technique to escape in the direction away from the insect swarm, because Zhang Chen has heard the sounds of many insect beasts digging and they are approaching him.

After hiding for less than a mile, he had to quietly reveal his head to breathe. Then he observed the terrain, found a hidden place, jumped out of the ground, and hid himself in a hopstrip.

Zhang Chen was constantly observing the situation around him, while also trying to find a way to free himself from the restraints. The mucus not only bound his hands and feet, but after the mucus dried, all parts of Zhang Chen's body became stiff, and he couldn't even bend over.

Zhang Chen found a bush to hide in, thinking he would wait here until the stickiness of the mucus wore off before coming out. However, as if it were not too late, it rained caterpillars and beasts approached not long after Zhang Chen had hidden. Zhang Chen jumped up with difficulty, and when he looked closely, he saw several velvet beetles leading the way. The antennae on their heads kept trembling, and their noses kept moving. Finally, they walked straight towards Zhang Chen.

"It seems that this mucus not only has the function of binding them, but also can guide them to find themselves."

Zhang Chen's face turned pale, thinking that something was wrong. He quickly jumped forward a few meters, then used the earth escape technique to enter the earth, escaped forward another mile, and then jumped out to get some fresh air. But not long after, the swarm of insects appeared again in the distance.

Zhang Chen had no choice but to flee forward another mile before they discovered him. When he jumped out to breathe, his face was extremely pale because there was very little spiritual energy left in his body. If the swarm of insects chased him again, he might not be able to run far.

But the more you fear something, the more it will come. He had just stopped for less than ten minutes when he heard the sound of a swarm of insects chasing him in the distance. Zhang Chen's face looked extremely ugly. He waited until the swarm of insects was about to see him before he used the earth escape technique to escape forward. Now he could not use any other attack except running.

This time, Zhang Chen jumped out in less than a mile. His spiritual energy was almost exhausted, and he could no longer use the earth escape technique. If he didn't come out, he would be crushed to death by the earth. After jumping out, Zhang Chen observed the surrounding environment and suddenly found that there was a river not far ahead. He was overjoyed.

"God really doesn't let me down."

Zhang Chen jumped towards the river, and finally jumped into the river before the swarm of insects caught up with him. He floated up and down with the rushing water and drifted downstream.

Zhang Chen had almost no spiritual energy at this time, and his whole body was bound. He could only drift in the river with the wind. It was fine when the river was calm, but when he reached some turbulent rivers, Zhang Chen was washed by the river and kept hitting the reefs and rocks. Zhang Chen had no way to move at this time and could only watch himself keep hitting the rocks.

Zhang Chen felt severe pain all over his body. Just after passing through the narrow and turbulent river, he felt that one of his hands and both legs were broken, and there was a big cut on his head. The huge blood loss made Zhang Chen dizzy.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Chen heard the sound of huge water splashing, and the water flow became more turbulent. When he glanced sideways, he saw a huge waterfall.

"shit."

Zhang Chen showed a bitter smile. Looking at the height difference, it was estimated to be at least a hundred meters. He was in danger of death.

Soon the water rushed Zhang Chen to the front of the waterfall. Zhang Chen looked down. Under the impact of the huge water flow, mist rose. All he could see was white mist. From time to time, colorful lights appeared in the mist, which seemed beautiful. But Zhang Chen had no intention of watching it at this time. He only heard the huge roar and his face turned pale.

In an instant, Zhang Chen was washed out of the waterfall by the water flow. He continued to fall in the air with the water flow. His mind was full of thoughts and he remembered a lot. When he was about to hit the water, he called upon the remaining spiritual energy in his body and used his body skills to slow down his falling speed.

But it only slowed down for a moment, and then there was a loud bang, and Zhang Chen slammed into the water. The huge impact caused Zhang Chen to suffer severe injuries. He spat out a lot of blood, and then fainted.

Two days later in the afternoon, in a room with wind blowing in from all sides, Zhang Chen was lying on a bed, wearing only a pair of tight shorts on his body, and the rest of his body was covered with herbal medicine. Zhang Chen's whole body was soaked white, and the skin in many places was rotten, especially his hands and feet. The broken bones were swollen, obviously infected, and the broken parts were fixed with branches.

At this time, on a small road leading from the river to the village, a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, with a thin face and tattered clothes, was walking towards home with two five-jin fish in her hands. She looked a little happy because she caught two such big fish today and could have a good meal.

When she walked into the village and passed by a family's house, a man in his twenties came out of the house, looked at the girl passing by and said:

"Xiaoling, our meal is ready, come and eat at our house."

The girl called Xiaoling turned around, looked at the man and shook her head.

“No need, Brother Qi, I caught some fish today, and I have things to do at home.”

After the girl finished speaking, she left in a hurry, without giving the man a chance to stay.

Looking at the girl's back as she left, the man looked a little annoyed and said to himself:

"It must be because of the pretty boy I rescued last night. Where did this kid come from?"

After saying that, he rolled his eyes and went back into the house.

The girl came to her home and pushed the door open. The house was not big. After entering the house, the girl first put the fish in the kitchen, and then came to the room to look at Zhang Chen.

She found Zhang Chen by the river last night. At that time, she thought Zhang Chen was dead. She bravely touched Zhang Chen's chest and found a heartbeat. Then she carried Zhang Chen back to the village with great effort.

However, there was no doctor in the entire village. However, some elderly people who had lived by the river for many years knew some basic medical treatment methods, so they repositioned Zhang Chen's bones and applied herbal medicine. However, Zhang Chen's injuries were very serious and he had been soaked in the water for a long time, so his wounds had become infected. They were all worried that Zhang Chen would not be able to survive and did not dare to take him in. Only Xiaoling could not bear it and finally carried Zhang Chen to her home.
