They had all seen the tragic death of Li Qin with their own eyes. If they were accidentally entangled by those black-winged snakes, it would be difficult for anyone to escape safely. Even if they could not put down their bodies and thank Lu Yunyou, they could not deny Fang Qing's statement.
After another period of time, everyone stopped completely. Not even a black-winged snake could be seen behind them, only the tree trunks and branches that they had chopped off along the way were piled on the ground in an orderly manner.
"Sir, let's stop and rest for a while." After confirming that no black-winged snakes were chasing after him, Wei Ran directly suggested to Lan Jing that everyone take a rest.
"General, if we stay here, those vicious snakes won't catch up again, right?" While responding to Wei Ran, Lan Jing lifted off the cloak that originally covered Lan Rou and gave Lan Rou a worried look.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. We have got rid of the snakes a quarter of an hour ago. If those black-winged snakes continue to chase us, it will take at least half an hour. We can rest for a while first so that the horses can take a breath. Just keep an eye on the rear." "That's all." Turning over and getting off the horse, Wei Ran took a look at the situation of the entire team. Except for Li Qin's accident, everyone else was fine. He was not worried about everyone's situation.
Immediately afterwards, other people got off their horses one after another, and each of them also found that the horse they were riding was panting. They had galloped all the way and put a lot of burden on the horse.
Just when everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, they met Lan Jing's concerned gaze. Princess Lan Rou seemed to have been depressed for a long time. She patted her chest with her little hands and said in surprise: "It was so dangerous just now!"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, we are out of danger." After comforting Lan Rou, Wei Ran looked at Lan Jing again: "What do you think, Master?"
"General Wei, what should we do if those black-winged snakes catch up again?" Seeing Wei Ran asking him for permission to stop, Lan Jing couldn't let go.
"The snakes won't be able to catch up with us for a while, so it's okay to rest for a while." He wasn't very sure whether the black-winged snakes would catch up with us, but in a dangerous situation, Wei Ran knew very well that they also needed to maintain a certain physical condition. .
It is worth mentioning that when they were getting rid of the black-winged snake, their continuous running allowed them to travel most of the way through the forest. According to Wei Ran's estimation, they were only one-third of the way out of the fierce forest. Unfortunately, the horse did not have the strength. Keep running with them.
After finding a place to stop, a few people simply tied the horses to a few nearby trees, and then took out some hay they brought to feed the horses. After doing this, everyone gathered under Wei Ran's instructions. Let's get some dry food together.
Everyone had put in a lot of effort to deal with those black-winged snakes just now, and they needed to eat something as soon as possible to replenish their strength.
While eating and eating, everyone discovered another problem. There was not much water left with them, and they could last for another day at most, which meant that they needed to find a water source as soon as possible.
"Save water for each person by half." Before finding the water source, Wei Ran directly told everyone to reduce their usual drinking water by half as a precaution.
No one has raised objections to Wei Ran's request for the time being, and there is still a lot of food left, so they don't need to worry.
Wei Ran's reminder also inspired Lu Yunyou. If they encounter a similar situation next, they must take the opportunity to get some ferocious beast carcasses as food, even if the ferocious beast meat is unpalatable.
Lu Yunyou still clearly remembered that Jun Wucheng was a little bit of snake meat and worked hard without caring about his own life. Later, it turned out that Jun Wucheng did the right thing. He wanted to learn from Jun Wucheng's experience.
"Brother Lu, thank you for your timely reminder, otherwise we might not be able to get rid of the snakes now." After slowly filling his stomach, thinking of the thrilling situation just now, Fang Qing, who was sitting aside, thanked Lu Yunyou directly.
"You're welcome, that's what I should do," Lu Yunyou shook his head and ignored Fang Qing's sudden thank you. He just thought that if he had said it earlier, maybe Li Ru's brother Li Qin would not have died.
"I don't know if we will encounter danger next," Fang Qing thought about their current situation with a lingering look on his face.
"Didn't the general say that we are about to leave the fierce forest?" Lu Yunyou smiled at Fang Qing and continued: "In my opinion, as long as our luck is not too bad, we should not be attacked by vicious beasts again."
"I hope so." Seeing Lu Yunyou's optimistic tone, Fang Qing breathed a sigh of relief. Then he remembered the reason why they got rid of the group of ferocious beasts just now, and he praised Lu Yunyou and said: "Brother Lu is worthy of being a person who has truly seen the world. In all of us, When there was no other way, you were able to come up with such a good idea and help everyone get out of trouble. We should all thank you."
"Nothing," Lu Yunyou shook his head again, and Lu Yunyou couldn't help but think that if those people hadn't just killed more black-winged snakes in order to show off their skills at the beginning, and were not in a hurry to leave, maybe such a tragedy would not have happened.
In short, Lu Yunyou has a deep understanding of the feeling of the death of a loved one. The situation when Lu Yi died in front of him is still fresh in his memory. Thinking about it now, he would rather he was the one who died at that time, so he can understand Li Yunyou very well. Ru feels like witnessing the death of a loved one but being unable to do anything about it.
"The fierce forest is indeed extremely dangerous. There were too many black-winged snakes just now. If there weren't high-level vicious beasts inside, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to escape smoothly today." Seeing that Lu Yunyou still didn't care about what happened just now, Fang Qing no longer forced , he just felt more and more that Jilin was more dangerous than they imagined.
"The ferocious beasts in the ferocious forest like to stay together in groups. If we encounter a group of ferocious beasts next time, we must avoid them in time." The lesson just learned has been kept in mind, and it is also an inspiration to Lu Yunyou. Now It seems that the ferocious beasts in the ferocious forest like to live in groups. If they can walk at the junction between two groups of beasts, they will be very safe.
It's a pity that he doesn't know how to find that kind of place, and he doesn't know whether he should tell others what he thinks. While he and Fang Qing continued to chat about the experience just now, other martial arts cultivators were also discussing the situation just now. Like Qing, many people still had lingering looks of fear on their faces, but Li Ru, who had just lost his brother, always looked extremely sad.
Taking the lead from Wei Ran, some people have now tried to persuade Li Ru to accept the change and not to be too sad. After all, accidents are inevitable.
After others went over to express their condolences, Lu Yunyou and Fang Qing also got up and went over.
"Brother Li, please give me your condolences." He remembered that he and Li Ru had a very pleasant conversation last night, but today he saw that Li Ru had suffered such a misfortune. He was greatly sympathized with him, and Lu Yunyou wanted to make him relax a little.
"Hmph, you don't need to be pretentious," but what Lu Yunyou didn't expect was that Li Ru snorted directly at him in front of everyone. His indifferent attitude made him and others confused.
"Li Ru, Brother Lu is kind enough to come here to comfort you, why are you treating him like this?" As Lu Yunyou's best friend, seeing Li Ru behave so unpretentiously towards Lu Yunyou, Fang Qing just wanted to ask what was going on. .
"Li Ru, we know that Li Qin has just died and you feel uncomfortable, but please respect yourself. Brother Lu came here to care about you out of good intentions. If he has offended you in any way before, please forgive me." Seeing that Li Ru was full of hostility towards Lu Yunyou, Lan Jing thought that there had been conflicts between Lu Yunyou and Li Ru before. Based on what Lu Yunyou had done to help them out of danger, he wanted to mediate.
With him taking the lead, everyone else started thinking this way, and then all of them stared at Li Ru closely, wanting to see if there was really anything going on between Li Ru and Lu Yunyou.
After Fang Qing and Lan Jing both spoke for Lu Yunyou, Li Ru found that the people around him looked at him strangely. He didn't know what to say for a while, and finally just lowered his head and said nothing.
His reaction seemed to be an acquiescence to what Lan Jing had just said, so those who failed to get the answer from Li Ru turned to look at Lu Yunyou, wanting to see what Lu Yunyou said, but what puzzled everyone was that Lu Yunyou also Nothing was said.
But in fact, it's not that Lu Yunyou didn't want to say it, he just didn't know what to say, because the matter had been completely misinterpreted by Lan Jing. Even if he vaguely guessed some reasons, he didn't know how to speak properly. In the end, based on Li Qin's death, he Simply choose to remain silent.
"Everyone, take the time to rest and don't get together again." The atmosphere at the scene was a bit wrong. After Wei Ran vaguely figured out what was going on, he immediately stepped forward to control the situation.
With him taking the lead, the people around did not dare to question, and dispersed one by one back to their original places to rest. After the scene became quiet, those who were not full continued to eat, while those who were full sat cross-legged to adjust their luck. Infuriate, adjust your condition as soon as possible.
Unknowingly, everyone had been resting on the spot for almost half an hour, and there was still no movement from the black-winged snakes chasing after them. According to Wei Ran's inference, the snakes would no longer be chasing after them, so everyone was completely relieved. .
