The master would naturally not be polite to the fact that the detective and Achiro always took pleasure in running against Master Qin.
Archiro: "Who am I the most cowardly person in the police department?"
"Needless to say, Helene, the medical examiner, is bolder than you. You must admit, who was so scared that he wet his pants in the church?"
The police officer's face was a little confused. Wang Dengming tried to reconcile: "Now is not the time to talk nonsense. How long has Satsuma been in there?"
"Exactly—eighteen minutes."
Akiro looked at his watch, counting the seconds.
"I'm very nervous. It's been eighteen minutes and there's been no movement at all."
Wang Dengming patted his forehead and said: "Our equipment is really short. We didn't even bring a walkie-talkie. Damn it, why didn't anyone remind me to bring a walkie-talkie in?" '
Equipment is a problem, it is a fact, especially communication equipment. This place blocks any communication equipment.
Wang Dengming doesn't know yet whether walkie-talkies are useful. At least short-range communication equipment can be tried. Only after trying it will he know whether it works. The four people who wanted money most went in. There was no movement for eighteen minutes. What did it mean? They Is it safe, or are we running into some trouble?
At this point, communication means life. If they are in danger, Wang Dengming and the others can rush in and rescue them.
Outside the entrance of the cave, except for the archaeological team members and the high priest, those who can breathe can only wait at the entrance of the cave.
Bai Dewen, one of Xie Zi's most trusted subordinates, was the most nervous at the moment. There were only a few of Xie Zi's people left, and he didn't want anything to happen to Xie Zi.
But sometimes, the more you worry about some things, the more you see ghosts.
At twenty-five minutes, there was still no movement in the cave. The ferret reminded Wang Dengming: "Sir, are they okay?"
"It's okay, how do I know?"
"It's been so long, I think it's okay. Should we follow up?"
As soon as the ferret stopped saying this, Butcher Gordon Bu's men immediately responded and rushed in with the guy in hand. At such a critical moment, they must not fall behind.
At this moment, there were chaotic footsteps and frightening curses coming from the cave.
The first one to rush out was Scorpion, holding his neck and howling. The second one was the detective, also touching his neck, stamping his feet and cursing.
The third one was Er Maozi, who staggered and had sloppy steps. As soon as he came out, he sat on the ground and gasped for air.
The last person to come out was Butcher Gordon Bu. As soon as this thing came out, he yelled: "A bunch of cowards, cowards, cowards..."
I don’t know who he was scolding, but he was scolding through gritted teeth.
Wang Dengming grabbed him: "Stop complaining, what's going on inside?"
"There were too many vampires and bats, and they filled the entire passage. We couldn't get in, and we were kicked out..."
"That's it, please be more detailed!"
"The passage is very long, very long, and small. We seemed to have walked into a long and thin pipe. It was very abnormal. We did not go to the end. Charlie Xiao was right. They were stone steps built by people. The terrain goes down Walking, it's very cold, but not dry. There are copper lamps installed on the stone walls on both sides, but there is no lamp oil, so they don't light up. I haven't found any luminous pearls, diamonds, etc. The stones inside are all black and very big. We walked in, and soon we seemed to hear someone crying, a woman's cry, the cry from hell, and then, bats came to bite people..."
Tu Gebu spoke out of breath.
"Have you been bitten?"
"No, but they were unlucky enough to get bitten."
Scorpion, the detective, was bitten separately, both on the neck, and the locations were basically the same. They were all suffering from the same disease. Ermaozi was bitten twice, one on the neck and one on the calf.
Facts have proved that no matter how tightly you bandage, unless it is iron or copper armor, the thick cloth is ineffective against the bat's fangs.
"Achiro, hurry, go and find the high priest!"
"Is there any use in looking for him, head?"
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Go away!"
The high priest quickly came to the entrance of the cave, checked the injuries of the three people, and said: "It's okay, Chief Wang, you send two people, who will follow me to the mountain to collect medicine, and use the fastest speed!"
Without Wang Dengming's instructions, Aqiluo, Shidi Cheng and the high priest went to the mountain to the north.
When the high priest said this, Wang Dengming felt relieved. The three people bitten by bats should not be in danger of their lives, unlike Charlie Xiao, who was finished in an instant.
The high priest was indeed very fast. He crushed the herbs he collected on the rocks beside the waterfall, and then applied them to the wounds of Scorpion and others.
Wang Dengming had never been bitten, but judging from the expressions on the faces of Scorpion and others, the pain at the place bitten by the bat was 100% unbearable, and Ermaozi kept moaning in pain.
After applying the herbal medicine, the detective said in surprise: "It's cool, very comfortable, and it doesn't hurt anymore. What kind of herbal medicine is this? It's amazing!"
The high priest said: "What herbal medicine is, a secondary topic. The function of herbal medicine is to detoxify. Applying herbal medicine does not mean that everything will be fine. Only if you can survive twelve o'clock tonight, you will be considered fine. Pray, three of you."
Um?
Wang Dengming also thought that once the herbs arrived, everything would be fine, but he didn't expect the high priest to say so.
The detective asked the high priest in shock: "So, what will happen next? I feel that my wound should be fine."
The high priest looked at the sky and said, "You will react after dark."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the entrance of the cave with a complicated expression and left silently.
Sure enough, after dark, the three people who were bitten developed high fever, trembling all over, difficulty breathing, sometimes cold, sometimes hot, and suddenly the whole body twitched. Wang Dengming was dumbfounded and didn't know what was going on.
He also found the high priest in his woodshed.
"Will they make it through twelve o'clock tonight?"
The high priest was boiling potatoes in a small pot that Sidonzhu had brought to him.
"It's cooked, do you want one?"
"If they don't eat, I'm almost dying. I need to find a way to send them out."
"It's useless to send them away. People who have been bitten by ghost bats will die if they can't survive the first twelve hours, no matter what medicine you use."
"Is it so serious? What is that kind of bat called, a ghost bat?"
"That's what our tribe is called."
"Well, whatever species of bat it is, I hope they can make it through."
Before Wang Dengming said a few words, Aqiluo came over in a hurry: "Head, head, the detective seems to be in trouble, he's crazy!"
crazy? !
The high priest waved his hand: "Don't panic. He was hallucinating due to a toxic attack. This shows that Inspector Satsuma is fine and he will get through it."
After Wang Dengming heard this, he let go and let Aqiluo leave first.
"Scorpion and Ermaozi?"
But the high priest remained silent, peeling the potatoes and just eating them.
"High Priest, please say something."
The high priest handed Wang Dengming a potato: "Here is one."
Wang Dengming took the potato.
"You and Captain Scorpion's people are like enemies. Don't you want them to die? Why do you care about their lives?"
Wang Dengming smiled reluctantly: "High Priest, it is true that my people are at odds with them, but it is not as serious as you think. We are not at a life-or-death situation with them, far from it."
"But your friends don't like them."
"my friend?"
"Chief."
Wang Dengming was a little confused, but then he seemed to understand.
"When Scorpion was in the tribe, did he do anything detrimental to the tribe?"
The high priest asked, "What do you think?"
Wang Dengming carefully considered it for a while and said, "It seems not."
"Although they didn't do anything extraordinary, their hearts are dark, greedy, and vicious. Officer Wang, if it weren't for your sake, I wouldn't have saved them."
Wang Dengming was silent for a while and said, "There is something. I don't know whether I should ask you for advice or apologize."
"I know what you want to say. You have a clearer judgment on the cause of death of Scorpion's two helpers who died in the tent, right?"
Wang Dengming smiled and took a bite of potato.
“Very delicious, pure natural food.”
"You can continue the interrogation."
"Don't do this, High Priest."
"What would you do if I killed those two people?"
Wang Dengming put the potato to his mouth for two seconds.
"I'm going to arrest you and send you to jail, is it your doing?"
The high priest smiled, the wrinkles on his face horribly wrinkled.
"Officer, what do you think?"
"I don't know, my evidence is too weak."
"I want to have a chat with your wizard, have a good chat, will you allow me?"
Wang Dengming finished the potatoes in a few seconds, stood up, and said, "Of course I allow it. This is your right. I will find him right away."
