Blue Star

Before the tree trunk reached the shore, Gu Li saw the flickering blue light on the distant shore, which was the light spot emitted by the fish fin on Iris' arm.And around this faint blue light, dense red light spots are encircling and suppressing it one after another.

The two people sitting behind Gu Li felt chills all over their bodies. The red light spots in the dark night were like surging fire, and the density made the scalp numb.

"Elder Gu Li...are we going in?" Mi Mir asked tremblingly.

Faced with an infection rate of more than 80.00%, one should give up. Mimier knew that, and Gu Li, the elder of Keerqi, must also know it.

Seeing that Gu Li had no intention of stopping, Dao Porling couldn't help persuading him: "Don't be impulsive, if this is all infected, we'll all die here."

Iris bent his elbows, leaning on the fins on both sides to cut open the abdomen of the worm that attacked him, and a large amount of red liquid gushed out.Although he moved sideways to avoid it, most of the burnt fish fins were burnt, two of the sharp fish bones were scalded, and blue blood dripped down the elbow to the ground.

He held Xijia tightly behind him, stretched out his sharp claws and tore apart the body of the worm that was close to Xijia.

Xijia's eyes were red from crying, she saw Gu Li approaching in the distance, but she didn't dare to cry out.Abandon your teammates when you can't protect yourself, the wizard has clearly said it when you set off.

She picked up the wooden stick at her feet, and opened the small worm in front of her with trembling hands.It's a pity that the disparity in strength is too great, and even though the tiger's mouth is numb with all his strength, he still can't drive the worm away.

"I'm sorry...it's all because of me..."

Iris didn't have time to listen to someone's apology, so he pulled Xi Jia up and kicked away a few small worms approaching, but was bitten twice by Zhuo.The calf muscles were tense, and the attack speed was affected because of the excessive pain.

There are more and more monsters being besieged, and countless hot worms are coming up from the swamp one after another.When they were involved, the worms with dense bloody mouths around the two of them seemed to have touched sulfuric acid, and most of their bodies were corroded in the ear-piercing screams.

Iris looked up at Gu Li, who was manipulating the magnetic field five meters away, and tried to kill a bloody path in Gu Li's direction.

"Iris, attack the branch bones on their backs, don't touch the skin!"

Gu Li drove the ring to make the floating tree back to a place where there were no worms. After ensuring the safety of Daoporing and Mimir, he hurriedly said: "Run out of the swamp, and we will meet again later."

Before the two of them could respond or listen to Porling's advice, the floating tree trunk that made room quickly moved over the heads of Iris and Xijia.

"Come up quickly!"

Iris rolled Xijia on the ground twice in his arms, and then dragged his arms to lift Xijia to Gu Li's position.

Gu Li stretched out his hand and grabbed Xijia's arm, pulling hard to pull him behind him.But when Iris was about to be pulled up, more and more worms piled up into a mountain, trying to bite off all the two people on the tree trunk, and even some small worms jumped up to the ground controlled by Gu Li. on the trunk.

"Ah!" Xijia screamed in horror, her arm was blistered by the skin of the worm, she hugged Gu Li's waist tightly, unable to resist at all.

Gu Li turned around to protect Xijia's head. There was no time to distract himself from using the magnetic field, so he could only open the worms climbing up the tree trunk with his bare hands.The burning pain made him frown, and the blisters on the palm of his hand were broken due to excessive force, but fortunately he wore gloves in advance, so he didn't have to worry about touching the infected body through the thick leather.

He is not proficient in controlling the corrosive magnetic field, and the nature of hurting others and himself prevents him from using it too much.After corroding the few worms around Iris, quickly reduce the floating distance of the trunk.

"Get down!" Gu Li said to Xijia, supporting the tree trunk with both hands.

The two of them crawled and lowered their heads, and the underside of the tree trunk almost slid against the ground.He slammed open the eyes of the worm that was rushing towards Iris, clenched his severely burned palm with his right hand, and pulled Iris up with a muffled grunt.

The defensive magnetic field is equivalent to nothing for these monsters. They stretched out the small-scale corrosive magnetic field with their hands, and rushed out of the encirclement against a large number of worms surging towards them.

Iris hugged Gu Li panting. The excessive wounds made him feel unbearable pain, especially the bitten off fin bones, which pulled the nerves in the elbows and trembled slightly.But even so, he still used his last bit of strength to protect Gu Li's body, so that the biting worms only attacked him.

Small fish scales appeared on the mermaid's scalded skin, but it didn't heal quickly like in the town, and there wasn't even a film that could block bacteria.

Leaving the large-scale crystal mine area not only affected Gu Li's talent, but also Iris.

These damn bugs don't have very good eyesight, and the large-scale worms didn't chase them after they left quickly for more than ten minutes.It may be because of the darkness, I will stare at Iris and bite the blue light on the body of the mermaid.

Looking down, the two fins on Iris's arm were the most seriously injured, especially the left elbow. Several tough bones were burned and broken, and even the surrounding fins were gone.

As if he was afraid that his blood would infect Gu Li, when he reached a relatively safe place, he let go of Gu Li's hand and turned to cover the bleeding wound.

"I'm sorry..." Xijia cried and apologized behind the two of them. If it wasn't for her, Iris would not have been injured so badly.

Gu Li reached out and hugged Iris, who was about to topple, and couldn't control his tone for a while, "There is no need to apologize." Then he felt that saying this was too cruel to a girl, so he changed his tone and said, "It's not your fault."

It was too dark, and he couldn't find the direction where Dao Porling and Mimir escaped, so he could only find a safe place nearby and set up a camp to rest temporarily.

After leaving the swamp area, there is a canyon with extremely high temperature. The surface is so hot that it seems that there is magma under the mud layer.Most of the shrubs are withered and there is no water source, and the cliffs on both sides are full of dark caves.He wasn't sure if this area was the nest of worms, but at least he hadn't seen any monsters so far.

I opened the backpack and fed Iris some fresh water that humans can eat. There is no sea salt or rainwater. At present, only these materials can be given.

Most of the supplies were with Dopporin and Mimir, and he only had food and water in his backpack.

He helped Iris to a relatively shady place to lean against. The overheated environment made several people sweat all over their bodies. This kind of sweat was like adding insult to injury to Iris who was seriously injured.

Mermaids are afraid of dryness and even more afraid of lack of water. Now they are in a "steamer" and don't know what the consequences will be.

Tiredly, he sat down next to Iris and leaned against the rock to relax his body.Having not slept all night, manipulating the magnetic field for a long time, running back and forth and expending a lot of physical strength to deal with monsters, he is already exhausted at this moment.

Iris, who was seriously injured, also leaned against the rock wall, and soon limply leaned against Gu Li.He struggled to hold Gu Li's leather-gloved hand, for fear that his spouse would be eaten by worms in the next moment.But he was so tired, his eyelids were so heavy that he couldn't lift them, and he passed out after chanting "Gu Li".

Gu Li adjusted his sitting posture, trying to make Iris lean more comfortably.Equally tired, he raised his head and closed his eyes, and soon felt heavy in his body.The corrosion crystal ore was used too quickly, and even wearing gloves was not spared. In addition to the burns caused by the worms, the scorched leather gloves had a large layer of skin attached to them, and it was impossible to take them off for a while.

He heard Xi Jia calling him, but he was so tired that he wanted to respond but it seemed that all the nerves in his body were urging him to sleep.The voice changed from clear to fuzzy, and the bloody smell of the mermaid could still be vaguely smelled...

"Elder Gu Li."

"Gu Li, hurry up, lift his head up. You have to feed the water in, otherwise you will be dried!"

Gu Li was being manipulated in a dazed state, he heard the voices of Mi Mi MiEr and Dao Poring.Opening his eyes tiredly, in the canyon approaching dawn, Daoporing supported him and was feeding water. New defensive crystal mines were placed around them, and heat-insulating dry blankets were placed under him and Iris. branch.

Dao Porling's face was enlarged in front of him, seeing that he finally opened his eyes, he smiled and said, "Are you awake? I almost thought you were going to be an adult like that fish."

Gu Li grabbed the water-feeding hand of the aisle porphyrin and took a few big gulps, then sat up and looked at Iris who was lying beside him.

The wound was simply bandaged, and the calf and elbow were covered with dark herbs.The mermaid's wound did not heal, and the scalded skin was just like that of an ordinary person, with a thin layer of scab formed after the bleeding stopped.

His complexion didn't look very good, and his body temperature was much higher than before.Dry skin, chapped lips, like not drinking water for three or four days.

"Iris."

He took the water bottle that Dao Porling was holding to feed him, and was about to help Iris up, but Dao Porling grabbed his wrist and reminded him: "Our drinking water is limited, and it's all fresh water without sea salt. You Feeding him like that is a waste of water."

Seeing that Gu Li insisted on feeding, he didn't stop him.Thinking of the reckless rush of this brat last night into a dangerous situation with a survival rate of only 20.00%, he hesitated and reminded: "Mermaids are infected, and accidental deaths in the wild are normal. You didn't start Have you already thought about it? Let's put away our pity and don't be impulsive, but look at yourself, what have you done? If the monster bit you last night, you plan to make me an old man in the future Do you want to go by yourself?"

Gu Li put away the water bottle after feeding, leaned against the rock wall and said tiredly: "Sorry, I didn't think it through enough."

Dao Porling rubbed his gray hair, facing the injured Gu Li, he couldn't bear to scold him.He glanced at the mermaid who was still sleeping, and said helplessly, "I'm afraid this fish will die here. We are too far away from the sea. It is a miracle that it can come here with you. You have to think clearly, if the mermaid The situation is getting worse and worse, and the road ahead can no longer take him. When it’s time to give up, you have to give up, and don’t forget why you risked your life for it.”

Gu Li didn't respond, looked down at the herbs covered on his palm, and asked, "Where did these medicines come from?"

Refreshing and antipyretic, they are all original ecological plants that have not been infected.

Dao Por looked at him with vigor, tightened the lid of the kettle and said angrily: "Don't change the topic, don't waste water on this fish. Look at its dead fish, it will be gone in two days." It should be dried fish."

After saying that, he stood up with a straight face, put away the kettle and walked to Mimir who was boiling water.

Outside the defensive crystal mine, Xijia came back with a pile of green plants covered in sweat, panting and crushing the herbs she got from no one knew where.Then he walked up to Gu Li with the utensil, and said sorry, "I didn't find the blue lamp mushroom, so I can only use these to heat the wound temporarily. Although the effect is not good, it is still very good for treating burns and reducing inflammation."

Xijia took Gu Li's injured hand, replaced it with new medicine, tore off a section of animal skin from the skirt and carefully bandaged it.

"There are no plants here, where did you find the herbs?" Gu Li couldn't help asking.

The shadow under Xijia's eyes was heavy, and the girl didn't rest for two nights, even the night they left the tribe.

Xijia: "In the cave at the back, it's as hot as a stove outside, but it's cool in that cave. My grandma said that most of the poisons are surrounded by herbs that can counteract them, so I went in and picked some."

Gu Li looked at the caves on the cliff in the distance. There were many caves of different sizes, and the one closest to the ground was three meters high.Looking for medicine, gathering medicine and healing their injuries, several big men actually rely on a girl to run back and forth.

"Don't go to these caves anymore, they are probably nests of worms."

Xijia lowered her head, she did not respond to Gu Li's warning.After tying up the wound, he suddenly asked, "What will happen if I inject a magnetic field? If my talent is stimulated, will I be able to find a medicinal herb to cure the infection?"

Gu Li frowned.

"I don't want to be so useless, and I don't want to be a drag on the team." Xijia looked up, his eyes were slightly red, "Iris became like this to save me. His condition is very bad. If he can't find a cure medicine, he will die soon..."

Gu Li withdrew the hand held by Xijia, "It's not your fault, you don't have to blame yourself too much."

Xijia shook her head, "No, if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have to cross the swamp twice. It was because of me that you delayed the time to encounter this kind of thing..."

Gu Li raised his hand and patted Xijia's head, and comforted him: "Even without you, the floating tree trunk can't hold four people. You've done a good job."

Xijia looked at Gu Li guiltily. Just a few hours ago, she blamed the wizard because of her grandma.Almost emotionally broken, tears welled up in my eyes, sobbing uncontrollably, "I'm sorry... I'm really sorry, I didn't do it on purpose, it's all my fault..."

Gu Li was silent, not knowing how to comfort her.It's not West Best's fault, and it's not anyone's fault. The reality they are facing is so cruel.
