Chapter 435: Chapter 435: Ling’er Sprains Her Ankle
“Oh no, help!”
Just then, suddenly, a scream ca from behind.
In fact, one could guess with eyes closed that the person should be Ling’er.
Originally, Ling’er was a kind of fragile person, and, at this ti, if one really had to walk this kind of path, then probably, a girl wouldn’t be able to persist for too long.
“What happened to you?”
“I, just now, I think I stepped on a rock, my, my foot, my foot is twisted.”
“What? Your foot is twisted?”
After the hunter ca over, he only asked one question.
He had thought that won should not be allowed into the mountains, and moreover, once won entered the mountains, they would really slow down their pace.
“I said it, didn’t I? This woman is simply not suited, and look, we’ve barely started, we haven’t even reached 1/5 of the way. Further in, the paths will beco even more difficult to navigate, even requiring so support to get through. I don’t know if you can really keep up or not.”
“Don’t worry, I can persist, I will definitely persist.”
As Ling’er spoke, she clenched her teeth and then, enduring the pain, stood up from the ground.
“I rember, you’ve got a walking stick with you, right?”
Lin Yi suddenly turned around and then said to Hei Lang.
“Oh, yes, brought it, brought it.”
While speaking, Hei Lang went over to retrieve a trekking pole and handed it to Lin Yi.
“Ling’er, how are you feeling, can you keep going?”
“Don’t worry, I can keep going, it’s much better with this thing.”
“Good, then can we continue now?”
“Let’s go, don’t let hold everyone back.”
Although she was saying this, after all, she had hurt her foot, and they couldn’t possibly just leave Ling’er behind alone.
So, the pace of the entire team imdiately slowed down.
Not knowing how long they had walked, suddenly they saw the hunter stop.
“Bad news, the thing I was worried about has still happened.”
He kept muttering to himself, and his facial expression seed sowhat panicked.
“What is it, what’s wrong?”
“I’ve said it before, if we can’t continue walking out of here before 6 o’clock, then we’ll definitely be trapped in Xi Lian Mountain. Look at the ti now, it’s already 5:55.”
As he spoke, he took out his watch to check the ti.
Indeed, they were being held up because of Ling’er, but that didn’t result in any complaints towards another person.
Being a fragile woman herself, the fact that she could forcibly follow them into the mountain was already quite remarkable.
“No matter, we’ll confront the problem when it cos, for now, we can only wait for this noxious vapor to dissipate. Otherwise, I’ll carry you, and we’ll just speed up.”
“Let tell you, as we accelerate, our breathing rate will also increase, and when our breathing quickens, we’ll inhale a lot of this gas, and then we will all start to hallucinate.”
“What, there can be hallucinations?”
He hadn’t even heard of such things before, but they were now being earnestly spoken of by the hunter.
“That’s right, hallucinations do occur, and moreover, since you’ve never experienced it, you don’t know how powerful this miasma can be.”
“Then, what do we do now?”
“The only thing we can do now is to try to breathe in less of this miasma and, moreover, wait until it passes before we proceed again. Ah, look there, is that a cave?”
As he spoke, he pointed in that direction.
Vaguely, Lin Yi saw that there indeed seed to be an opening, but it wasn’t very large—if a person were to crawl through, they could barely manage to fit.
“Hmm, if I hide inside, it should be sowhat safer, right?”
No sooner had he finished speaking than the alarm suddenly started beeping.
Picking up the alarm, he gave it a puzzled look.
“Hei Lang, what’s happening?”
He turned around and asked Hei Lang.
Hei Lang shook his head slightly, then took the alarm and advanced a couple of steps forward only to find the sound growing stronger.
When he walked back, he noticed the sound getting weaker again.
“Big brother, if I’m not mistaken, the direction we just ca from, the cave, there’s probably a wild beast inside.”
“What, a wild beast?”
Lin Yi felt that troubles really ca in waves.
“Actually, without this detector, I just roughly surveyed the area, including the direction of that cave entrance, its orientation, and the vegetation around it—I deduce there’s likely a beast’s den, and inside, the number is definitely no less than two.”
“So, you’re saying that we can’t go inside, right?”
“If we don’t go inside, staying out here is just as deadly.”
“What? Still a dead end?”
“Didn’t I tell you? We simply cannot breathe it in large amounts, do you have one of those anti-poison masks? It could solve the problem.”
“I didn’t prepare for that, and I also lack experience in this regard.”
“Then there’s nothing more to say, we have no choice but to take a risk and move forward. Let’s head to the cave, it’s better than being poisoned to death out here.”
Judging by his suggestion, this miasma must be an extrely potent substance—even though Lin Yi had never encountered it before.
But he chose to trust the hunter, after all, he had extensive experience with prey.
He quickly approached the direction of the cave entrance.
Upon arriving there, he could distinctly feel a breeze blowing out from the cave entrance.
Oddly, however, the breeze was not at all cold; in fact, when blowing on his body, it felt quite warm.
“Why is it a hot wind?”
“Yeah, under such circumstances, it’s 100% certain there’s sothing inside. They must be living in a direction exposed to the wind, so the perpetually damp environnt has caused this hot wind.”
“Do we still need to go inside?”
“Do you sll anything in the air now?”
“I do, there’s a sour scent.”
“That’s it, that’s the miasma. Rember, rember, never take deep breaths and try to talk as little as possible. Let’s go, into the cave.”
While talking, he took out the torch again and this ti added a green powder to it before placing it on the burning end of the torch.
