Compared with another group of people who are on tenterhooks,
The three of Nok fell asleep in a daze.
Until dawn.
The sky was slightly bright, and the three of them woke up from their sleep.
Not that they'd gotten enough sleep.
They were awakened by hunger.
I didn't eat anything for almost a day and a night,
They really couldn't sleep anymore.
As a last resort, the three of them got up one after another.
After cleaning up a bit, they walked together towards the tree where Leo had an accident last night.
Soon, they found the location of Leo's accident.
Leo's weapons and shield were left in place.
There is also a gloomy white skeleton.
"This is an antlered deer I hunted last night. I didn't expect that even the body was not left behind."
Looking at the smooth and traceless white bones, Leo said fearfully.
If Nok hadn't arrived in time, maybe he would have become like this.
"Let's go, don't think too much. Go to the river to check the situation, wash your face, and get some water to drink."
Nok comforted Leo, and then the three of them walked towards the river.
But when I came to the high ground, I looked at the mud in front of me.
The three of them suddenly gave up the idea of going to the river.
The flood receded,
Leaving behind a thousand meters of mud,
When the three of them walked to the river,
They must be exhausted.
So, the three of them changed their minds,
Go find the remaining people first.
At least confirm the life and death of another group of people,
Then decide what to do next.
The three of them were lucky;
As we are close to Fisherman's Bay and the swamp forest, the trees on both sides are much more lush.
Naturally, there are many more animals.
We just walked less than a kilometer away,
The three of them shot a jackalope.
Jackalopes are no different from ordinary rabbits;
Weighing more than ten kilograms, gray fur,
The only thing different from ordinary rabbits is that
It has a single horn on its head.
With its jumping ability and running speed,
This single horn can pierce the bodies of most animals and trees.
The jackalope is not a magical beast, it can only be regarded as an ordinary animal.
But even if it is ordinary, it is still a very dangerous existence among ordinary animals.
At least, ordinary people encounter it alone,
The chance of injury is relatively high.
Unfortunately, it met the three of Nok,
So, after a simple disembowelment,
The jackalope became breakfast for three people.
Maybe I'm too hungry.
The jackalope, which weighed more than ten kilograms, was eaten clean by three people.
Even so, Nok and Leo were not full yet.
Because the two of them subconsciously gave in to Angeladi,
He gave the two meatiest rabbit hind legs to Angeladi.
Angeladi was not polite and actually finished eating two hind legs.
The three of them took a short rest before setting off again.
At this time, it was almost ten o'clock in the morning.
Fortunately, the three of them found a place where they could get water.
On a protruding bank, the water rose to less than two feet above the ground.
However, the river water near the shore is too turbid.
Fortunately, after a night of washing,
There were not many broken trees and animal carcasses left in the swollen river.
Nok thought for a moment and used Leo's ice armor shield to freeze the river surface on the shore.
Before the frozen river surface begins to melt,
Jump up quickly,
I ran to the middle of the river and quickly froze a piece of clean river water.
Then he scooped up the melted river water and returned to the shore.
“We don’t have a pot or material to hold water, so we can only chip a small piece of ice one person at a time.
Hold it in your mouth and get some ice water to quench your thirst. "
Nok used his dagger to break a few small pieces of ice into pieces.
Each person got a few pieces.
At this time, I no longer care whether it is clean or not.
Several people who had eaten barbecue were already thirsty.
Therefore, each person carefully took a small ice cube in his mouth,
The irritation made my mouth feel cold and painful.
But none of the three people were willing to spit it out.
"Hey~ This is not an option! We have to get water storage equipment."
"To put it lightly, there are no bamboos nearby."
"But we don't lack wood, do we?"
Leo said, pointing to the sparsely visible shrubs and trees around him.
Nok looked at it, then shook his head.
“We don’t have time to do this kind of thing now, let’s find other people first.
The more people we have, the better our chances of survival will be.
Otherwise, if we encounter what happened last night again, I'm afraid we won't even have a chance to react. "
Nok rejected Leo's proposal,
Angeladi also said:
"Father Ryan is right. If it's just the three of us, we can definitely continue.
To get ice and water, there is no need to get some wooden cups to hold water.
Can't hold much. Another waste of time. "
Leo scratched his head and said:
"I didn't mean to fill it with water, I meant ice cubes."
As soon as Leo said these words, the other two people were stunned.
seem……
This method works.
placed in a sealed tree core,
Ice cubes can be stored longer,
It also saved a few people from freezing while holding ice cubes.
However, it’s still the same sentence,
Now is not the time to do this.
"That's a good idea. But we have to wait until we find someone else.
You should lead the way now. "
Nok smashed the ice cubes in his hand again and distributed them to everyone.
"Try to replenish as much water as possible. The sun is too strong and we lose water quickly."
There was no other way. The three of them were walking in the hilly area.
There are mostly shrubs around.
Due to photosynthesis, the surrounding air is hotter than elsewhere.
Stop and go along the way,
He also killed a few prey that came to his door.
A big python three meters long and as thick as its forearm.
A pig beast with four anti-blade fangs.
A one-meter-long Qinxin rat.
The big python was decapitated by Leo, wrapped around his body, and tied around his waist.
A piece of belly meat was removed from the pig beast and carried on Leo's back.
The two front legs were cut off and left to be carried by Angeladi.
Qinxinshu was special, being carried behind Nok's back and not given to anyone.
This made the other two people look at him resentfully, wanting to snatch Qinxinshu away.
Even if Qinxinshu has the word "rat" in its name, it will make you feel disgusted.
But it is actually a rodent that only feeds on the core of wood.
The Qinxin rats that eat the fragrant wood heart all the year round,
The whole meat has its own fragrance, and it is a high-quality ingredient that does not require the addition of any spices.
It is said that even if you simply use Qinxin rat meat to make barbecue, the aroma will spread far and wide!
But this kind of Qinxin rat almost always lives alone in the wild and underground.
It starts from the roots and eats the heart of the tree, almost no longer showing up on the ground.
It's really hard to meet one.
It is estimated that this Qinxin rat was forced out of the house by yesterday's flood.
After failing to find a new home for a while, it fell into the hands of Nok.
If they hadn't been in a hurry to find someone and had just had breakfast,
Otherwise, they would all be barbecuing on the spot now!
Nok promised again and again that even if someone else is found,
After the Qinxin Rat was only used by the three of them,
The three of them once again set out on a journey to find Feng Deke and others.
the other side,
Feng Deke and others, who had been blowing the mountain wind all night in the cave,
Feeling a little groggy to some extent.
Even the strongest Treville,
They couldn't stand the cold wind at night.
So much so that when I woke up in the morning, five women were huddled together,
Five men also huddled together.
"Ah sneeze!"
In the cave, Feng Deke sneezed.
It woke everyone up.
Among the group of them, he and Hathaway had the worst physiques.
But Hathaway was blocked inside the cave, and there were men outside to help block the wind.
The one who suffered as a result was naturally Feng Deke.
Even Victor, who was born into a noble family, had a lot of fat to protect him from the cold.
Therefore, among the group of people, he was the only one who caught a cold.
A group of people woke up in a cave,
Regardless of their embarrassment, at least it was dawn and they all survived.
"Quick, let's get out of here and find a safe place as soon as possible!
I never want to be in a situation like last night again! "
Victor hurriedly tried to stand up, but suddenly his foot went weak and almost hit someone else.
"Don't move yet! The cold wind you have been blowing all night and sitting all the time have made your feet numb!
If you move around now, you can easily twist your foot. If you break your leg, you will be in trouble! "
Sophia reminded kindly.
We were on the same boat, and her sister was still very sick.
If there are one or two more injured, it will be troublesome.
When the time comes, her sister will definitely be abandoned by the team.
After all, the danger is over,
Can we still expect these high-ranking nobles to repay their kindness?
Even Freya, her employer who has been with her all the way,
They were ignored in dangerous moments.
If their sisters weren't useful, I'm afraid they would have been used as bait last night.
There are just two of them sisters!
Therefore, in order to fight for greater rights for myself and my sister,
She had to make this group realize the value of their sisters.
Sure enough, after hearing Sophia’s words,
No one dared to move.
"Ms. Sophia, you are experienced. You tell us what to do next, and we will listen to you."
Victor said simply, not caring what other people thought.
Sophia said softly.
“Everyone should rub their feet with their hands first and move their numb hands and feet.
We'll leave here after a while, and then ask for some food.
You still need to discuss what to do next.
My sister and I are just adventurers who know a little bit about wilderness survival.
Not much of a big-picture perspective,
We don’t dare to make random decisions about how the team should move.
Sophia was very polite, so polite that she almost told everyone: Which of you wants to be the captain of the team?
Just take it as who you are, we sisters are only responsible for advice on survival in the wild and do not interfere with anything else.
Regarding Sophia’s attitude,
Everyone else is satisfied.
They are all superior to each other, and no one wants to be criticized by a lowly adventurer.
But the remaining people looked at each other,
There was hesitation.
The one with the highest status is Hathaway, but she looks silly and sweet at first glance.
When you become a captain, you are afraid that you will lead everyone to death.
Freya was not in the mood to care about this mess, nor was she able to.
Her situation is calculated, but she has no common sense at all in this kind of wilderness survival.
Charlotte and Luke are housekeepers, servants in name only, and their status is inferior to that of sisters Sophia.
Victor said he didn't know how to do it and didn't want to worry about it.
Then, the team captain personnel will be placed on Vondek and Treville.
Although Treville is Hathaway's bodyguard, he actually also has a title.
Although he is only a baron, he is also a noble.
It's not like others can't accept being led and commanded by him.
Although Feng Deke is only a businessman, behind him is the Ventuius Chamber of Commerce.
In addition, I have always been in charge of regular ships, and when dealing with external affairs and trivial matters,
Also a suitable candidate.
However, everyone still did not choose the captain in the cave.
Instead, he woke up the injured Sophia and asked her to find a way to send the person up.
Sophia shook her head weakly and said:
“I no longer have the energy to send so many people up.
I can send a person up there and ask him to find a way to get some bark vines.
Weave a rope and pull us up from above. "
For a moment, everyone in the cave started discussing Sophia's words.
Finally, after a heated discussion,
Everyone unanimously elected Sophia to be the first person to go up.
First of all, Sophia is a woman, which can reduce Sophia's burden.
Secondly, Sophia is Sophia's sister, and she will never abandon her sister and run away alone.
Thirdly, Sophia is an adventurer and has rich experience. Can collect materials faster to make rope.
In this way, Sophia became a popular person.
Sophia didn't refuse. She understood that she wanted her sister to live well.
You can't disobey these condescending guys.
Also make them happy and see the value of their sisters.
Sophia did not shirk. With the help of her sister Sophia's magic,
Soon we climbed up the cliff.
After finding her surroundings safe, she shouted down.
"I'm going to find something to make a rope, don't worry, take care of my sister!"
Subsequently,
Sophia got into the awkward jungle.
Why is it so embarrassing?
Naturally, it was the terrible scene left behind after Cyclops couldn't find anyone to vent to last night.
Sophia walked fearfully in the jungle.
Look for the tough bark you need, as well as some vines.
Soon, she relied on her years of adventure experience to twist out a rope of more than ten meters.
But there is still a lot missing from the length of the cave.
What's more, she's also worried about quality.
Except for those professionals, the rest of the ordinary people would definitely not be able to climb up with ropes.
They will definitely need to tie people up and pull them up by then.
Then, the rope must be very strong.
And we also need to prevent Treville, who has ulterior motives, from causing mischief.
Sophia continued to look for materials to weave rope, but suddenly she heard a rustling sound coming from the front.
"No, it's a large animal!"
Although Sophia was also hungry and eager to meet prey.
But she didn't dare to mess with prey that was too big.
If you encounter a large monster, it’s not certain who will eat whom!
Thinking of this, Sophia quickly used her professional talent and entered stealth.
Blend into the environment and hide.
"Phew! Are you really sure you're around here? Why didn't you see any ghosts?"
Sophia was surprised and looked towards where the sound came from.
What caught his eye was Nok who was scolding Leo!
"Ryan! Leo!"
Sophia appeared in surprise and waved to the two of them.
Nok and Leo were stunned and looked at Sophia.
Leo felt relieved when he saw Sophia.
After all, seeing such a tragic environment,
He was really afraid that both Sophia and the sisters were dead.
As long as their sisters are okay,
He didn't care much about other people.
"Why are you alone here, where is you Sofia?"
Leo hurried forward and asked.
Sophia replied excitedly:
"My sister is fine, she is in the cave with the others.
I came here to find something to make a rope so that I could rescue them. "
When Nok and Leo heard this, they understood what she meant.
Apparently, they found a cave to hide from danger last night,
It seemed like everyone was mostly fine.
"Isn't this the time to chat? It feels like we have gathered together.
Then while cooking, let’s discuss the next step! "
Angeladi came up from behind, carrying two pig legs.
Said expressionlessly.
If it weren't for the stuttering, she really wouldn't want to be so tired.
My hands are numb and my legs are sore.
"Okay, okay, let me see where and when, let's find a place where we can get water.
Wash the meat and make a fire to cook. "
Nok also knew how to let a pampered lady walk with them for so long and carry dozens of kilograms of meat.
Must be exhausted.
The four of them hurried towards the edge of the cliff.
On the way, Sophia helped Angeladi lift the pig's trotters away.
Nok picked up the rope made by Sophia.
When he came to the cliff, Nok took a look. The location was really unexpected.
Both the front and back of it are relatively low-lying, and only this one is tilted up and protruding above the river.
A cliff that is not too high is formed.
If they had run into the wrong place last night, they would probably have no way to escape.
The only option was to jump into the river to survive.
If you jump into a river, you may not be able to escape pursuit.
With the height of the big guy last night, it would not be difficult to jump into the river and catch a few prey.
On the contrary, it is this cliff less than fifty meters.
A position neither up nor down,
Coupled with the cover of rivers, mountains and winds, several people "disappeared" perfectly from under the monster's nose.
"Sofia, please accompany Ms. Julien to deal with these pig trotters, and we will find a place to barbecue later.
Leo and I braided the remaining rope. "
Four people divide the work and cooperate,
Soon, Nok and Leo had braided the rope, which was much longer than Sophia's original plan.
Nok thought about it and said:
"Sofia, we are responsible for pulling people up there, you go down.
Let your sister come up first, and then put two non-threatening ones up to help.
Let the escort captain of the Chamber of Commerce accompany you, and Charlotte.
After placing the two non-threatening ones, put Treville up.
Otherwise, I'm afraid he might do something wrong. "
Nok had already learned from Sophia who the survivors were.
To be honest, he wanted to save Treville until the end and then abandon him.
But Nok thought about it carefully and felt that this was meaningless and would bring danger to everyone.
The height of only twenty meters is not a problem for a professional.
He is fully capable of escaping from a cave by jumping into a river or climbing a rock.
Once the other party escapes and hides in the dark, it will be too much of a threat to them.
It's better to put it on the bright side.
Even if the other party wants to play tricks, someone will keep an eye on them.
With Nok's arrangement,
Sophia wrapped around the rope and returned to the cave on the cliff.
Everyone was shocked to see Sophia return.
"Why did you get down? What if the rope is not tied properly?"
Freya complained.
Sophia looked at her lightly and said something that made Freya uneasy.
“Father Ryan and Mr Gareth are up there.
I'm here to help.
Now, let my sister go up first. "
"Wait! Why!"
Freya didn't speak, it was Victor who spoke.
Sophia said calmly,
"I made the rope, and my sister made the cave.
Father Ryan spoke spontaneously, and it was because my sister was a patient.
Are these enough? "
Sophia's words left Victor unable to refute.
Others didn't want to say anything.
Just like that, in full view of the public,
Sophia helped Sophia to the entrance of the cave.
"Ms. Charlotte, please help me support my sister, and I will help her tie the rope."
Charlotte glanced at Freya, saw that she had no objection, and immediately walked over.
Soon, Sophia was tied up and Sophia pulled the rope.
Then, the rope tightened and Sofia was slowly pulled up.
However, the people below waited for a long time and did not wait for the rope to be dropped.
Now, Victor was uneasy again.
"Why haven't we dropped the rope yet? Did they give up on us?"
Seeing the insecure Victor, everyone was speechless.
It was Feng Deke who stepped forward to comfort him and said:
"Your Majesty, Baron, please be patient. There are so many of us here.
Father Ryan won't leave us behind.
After all, he was trying to save people,
The man who faced the six-headed snake alone. "
Feng Deke gave Nock a small slap in the face.
He finally saw it.
Even if other people's teams are at odds, those who are together are still together.
If something happens, it's better to save acquaintances first.
Soon, the rope was thrown down again.
"This time, Mr. Feng Deke goes up first."
Sophia grabbed the rope and spoke directly without any room for negotiation.
Victor spoke to Xiang, but was stopped by Luke.
Feng Deke didn't expect that it would be his turn the second time.
"Me? This is not good, why not let Princess Hathaway go first."
"Stop inking. This is Father Ryan's decision. He needs you to go up first and help arrange the chores."
The reasons given by Sophia gave everyone a clue.
Arrange chores, think about it, Nock Lane has no intention of abandoning them.
Or most people.
Therefore, the subsequent rescue went smoothly.
"Okay, after Princess Hathaway goes up, Mr. Treville will prepare."
"I?"
This time, it was Treville's turn to be surprised.
He originally thought that Ryan was in charge and that he had been given up.
After all, the two of them had a grudge, more than once.
“Don’t think too much, everyone is in trouble, and whether they can or can leave this wilderness is still a question.
Why bother with so many grudges? "
This sentence is what Sophia herself wanted to say.
When Treville heard it, it did make some sense.
No matter how you say it, he is a fighting force and is indeed a boost to the team.
So, he didn't show any pretense and immediately let Sophia tie him up.
Then, only the last two people were left.
"Captain Lucian, you go up first."
Lucian is the captain of the second team of the escort team.
He was surprised and said: "Ms. Sophia, you better go up first. It won't matter to me in the end."
Sophia shook her head: "Don't refuse, the rope is made temporarily after all, and its endurance is getting worse and worse.
And I'm afraid that if you don't know how to tie the rope yourself, what will happen if it falls off in mid-air?
You go up first. Even if I don't have a rope, I can still go up with my skills. "
Sophia said so, and Lucian couldn't say anything more.
Every minute wasted means more danger.
It's noon now, and the sun is fierce.
The people above are very tired.
So Sophia was the last one to be pulled up.
However, when Sophia returned to the cliff, she saw that a simple awning had been erected on the cliff.
Sister Sofia, who has recovered, is roasting a rat.
Others were on the other side, cooking meat around a fire.
"You...are going too far! I want to bake it too!"
Nok and Leo packed up the rope speechlessly, with no intention of discarding it.
"Okay, let's take a rest and eat. We will go downstream to find a place to get some wood to make a water storage device.
Of course, it would be better if you can find bamboo.
Get your water and food ready and we'll hit the road. "
