Immediately afterwards, all the personnel stopped as if they were relieved, carefully put the corpse aside one by one, and then sat down on the ground, as if they didn't want to move anymore.
After the ten people gathered together, Lu Yunyou could clearly see that the six injured people, including Gao Yu, were all red, which was completely different from their situation.
"Gao Qianfu, it seems that the fire beetle that bit you last night was poisonous. Now you are all in the poisonous stage. I don't know if you will be fine in the long run." It was confirmed that all six people had been bitten by the fire beetle. Hu Ruifeng could judge the condition of several people. situation, but because he didn’t know much about fire beetles, he didn’t know what effects the poison would have.
"We are all feverish now, and the true energy in our bodies is constantly passing away. If we keep wandering through the forest blankly, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out of this forest." If he had known that he would encounter the situation last night, Gao Yu would have suppressed anything he said. Greed in their hearts, but now it is too late to regret, they must solve the current problem as soon as possible.
"It's exactly what Gao Qianfu said. I already feel that there is not much energy left in my body. If I continue to carry these corpses, I'm afraid we will all be buried in the forest." After carrying the corpses for so long, a fifth-level martial artist only felt that The corpses of their companions were too heavy a burden for them.
"Why don't we leave the body here first, and after we find a way out of the forest and recover, we can go back and take the body back." Another injured man, who was also tired of the body, agreed with the suggestion of his companion just now.
"Gao Qianfu, what do you think?" Agreeing with what his two companions said, Hu Ruifeng looked directly at Gao Yu.
"I..." Looking at the several corpses on the ground, and then at Lu Yunyou and the others, Gao Yu was helpless after realizing that everyone was in bad condition.
Now it seemed that this was the only way they could survive, so after hesitating for a moment, he nodded directly to everyone.
"Then which direction should we go next?" Leaving those corpses behind was just a contingency plan. The key was that they had to determine the direction to leave the forest. They couldn't keep following the footsteps of the flame beast.
"We have been walking for more than an hour just now. It should not be that far from where we entered the woods yesterday. As long as we keep walking in one direction, we should be able to leave the woods." Now we can only determine the approximate direction based on yesterday's walking conditions, but Gao Gao Yu wasn't sure whether they were doing the right thing.
"There seems to be a sound over there?" Just when everyone was thinking that their physical strength was limited and they could no longer waste time, but they were unable to determine the correct route, Lu Yunyou noticed some sounds coming from the fog beside them.
At first he thought it was the noise made by ferocious beasts, but after listening carefully, he was sure that it was the sound of human voices. Feeling excited, he directly interrupted the conversation between Gao Yu and others, and pointed them in a direction. .
"There seems to be a voice." The next moment, Gao Yu and others looked in the direction pointed by Lu Yunyou. As they held their breath and paid careful attention, they heard the voice of someone speaking.
"Someone is coming over there." After a moment, everyone saw a group of people coming out of the mist, walking in their direction, and everyone couldn't help but smile with joy.
"Are you members of the Star Army?" After the team got closer to them, an old man in the leader directly identified everyone's identity through their clothes, and asked first: "Why are you here?"
"Reporting to Senior, we are all members of the Star Army. Yesterday we discovered the whereabouts of the Flame Beast and accidentally got lost in the forest. I wonder if Senior and others are coming from the direction of Yancheng?" Lu Yunyou carefully looked at the team of martial arts cultivators in front of him. At this time, Gao Yu immediately answered the old man's question with a respectful expression.
"That's it." Nodding, the old man glanced at Lu Yunyou and others indifferently, and then said: "Yanshan is not as simple as you think. Even the forest at the foot of Yanshan is not something you can easily set foot in."
"Looking at the situation of you waiting, you should have been attacked by fire beetles, which is pitiful." The old man changed his voice and said: "We are indeed coming from the direction of Yancheng. As long as you follow our footsteps, you can naturally leave this forest. "
"Second Elder, these people are trapped here because they are obviously greedy for the treasures in Yanshan Mountain. They deserve to die. Why should we help them?" Before Gao Yu could thank the old man, a young man in his twenties asked with a dissatisfied look on his face. One sentence.
The person who spoke was arrogant and did not look like an ordinary martial artist at first glance. Lu Yunyou directly concluded that the other person was a martial arts genius among the younger generation in Yancheng. Only in this way could the young martial artist dare to talk to his elders like this.
"In view of your contribution to Yancheng, I might as well tell you that the poison of fire beetles is very difficult to detoxify. If you return to Yancheng as soon as possible, you may be able to save your life," the old man said again after changing his voice. : "But it's just about surviving!"
Looking at the several corpses on the ground and the situation of Gao Yu and others, the old man said one more thing regardless of the junior's obstruction.
"Thank you for telling me frankly, senior, but I don't know what your last words meant?" Just after the old man pointed out the way back for them, Gao Yu and others were already very happy, but when the old man said the last word, their hearts that had just been relieved were again Lifted it up.
"You don't even know this and you dare to go to Yanshan Mountain. You really don't know whether to live or die." Before the old man could speak, the young martial arts cultivator who was quite hostile to Lu Yunyou and the others said another sentence.
"Once the fire poison takes full effect, the muscles and veins may be burned at worst, and the vitality may be cut off at worst, but the only medicine that can detoxify is found in the mountains, so you'd better take care of yourself,"
After saying this, the old man turned around and left directly with his companions.
After the group of people from Yancheng left, Gao Yu and other people who had been poisoned by the fire all looked heavy, obviously frightened by what the old man said.
"Gao Qianfu, wasn't that man just lying to us?" After a long silence, Hu Ruifeng asked with confusion. He only hoped that the old man just now was lying to them.
"I didn't lie to us. After being bitten by the fire beetle last night, I felt that my body was getting hotter and hotter. Now I can't hold on any longer. It seems that we will not escape death after all." Looking at the other injured, Gao Yu was disappointed with himself. He doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with his current outcome, but he blames himself for causing others to suffer.
"What should we do?" After seeing the same meaning expressed by Gao Yu from the faces of other injured people, Hu Ruifeng's expression became more solemn. Now it was not that he couldn't do anything when he returned, but how to save Gao Yu. them.
The antidote can only be found in the mountains, but given their current situation, how can they enter the mountains? Even if they enter the mountains, what can they do? Hu Ruifeng directly lost his sense of proportion because of the situation in front of him.
Gao Yu and the injured were also in a dilemma. They thought they would be safe if they left the forest, but now they were in a dilemma. Instead of going to Yancheng to seek treatment, they might as well go into the mountains desperately to find an antidote, but their physical conditions did not allow it. , they are powerless.
"Why don't we go into the mountain to find the antidote?" Just when everyone didn't know what to do, Lu Yunyou, who already understood the situation, directly proposed to everyone. Although he had not known Gao Yu and others for a long time, he respected Gao Yu's character, and No, he couldn't bear to see these people who had lived and died with him burned to the ground and turned into useless people.
"Hu Qianfu, what do you think?" Gao Yu had thought of this possibility just now, but because he didn't want to drag Lu Yunyou and the others down, Gao Yu didn't speak. However, after Lu Yunyou suggested this, he couldn't help but ask Hu Ruifeng.
"I..." Thinking of the danger of entering the mountain, Hu Ruifeng really didn't know how to answer, but after seeing the injured looking at him with praying eyes and putting their last hope on him, he finally He clenched his fists and said, "Then wrap it up on me."
"I'll go too," the next moment, a star soldier who was not poisoned stood up directly.
"If you don't dislike my low strength, count me as one," he was the one who made the initial suggestion. When Gao Yu and others looked at him, Lu Yunyou made a decision directly. No matter how dangerous the mountains were, he would still fight with Hu Ruifeng. The two of them went for a walk.
Then it was the last person's turn to express his position, but when everyone looked at the fifth-level martial artist, that person hesitated and did not express his position.
"Gao Qianfu and the others are in a bad situation, Wei Wang, please stay and look after them." Seeing that the man didn't want to go, Hu Ruifeng didn't want to force it. After all, everyone had their own choice, and he couldn't force others to do anything.
"Hu Qianfu, thank you very much." Seeing that the matter was settled, Gao Yu knelt down on one knee and thanked Hu Ruifeng and Lu Yunyou. His heavy voice declared his gratitude to the three of them.
Immediately afterwards, the other injured people bowed to the three people one after another. Finally, someone specially told them: "You must come back alive and don't give your life to save us."
That solemn tone was full of profound meaning, which made Lu Yunyou couldn't help but tremble. In fact, he just accidentally thought of finding a way to find the antidote, and he mentioned it without thinking about it deeply. At first, he thought his behavior was a bit reckless, but now He just wanted to bring the antidote back so that he could live up to those earnest eyes.
