Chapter 9 Encountering wild beasts in the barren mountains
The exiled team marched hard all afternoon, hoping to reach the next station before dark.
But unexpectedly, the weather turned gloomy and drizzle fell, hindering the team's progress.
No matter how hard I hurried, I couldn't reach the next stop, and the sky was getting darker and darker because of the rain.
The supervisors at the front simply ordered them to rest on the spot and find places to camp in the woods.
The most unlucky ones were Xiangying and her group of exiles, because they were at the end of the entire exile group and walked very slowly.
The place where they were stationed at the moment was on a hillside. It could be said that it was being blown by wind and rain, and there was no place to hide.
Xiangying handed Taoxue a robe and asked her to hold the children in their arms to hide from the rain.
She quickly built a simple rain shelter for the wooden cart so that she could not leave in the rain.
Xiang Li was so seriously injured, and if the rain soaked the wound and the weather was hot and the wound fester, that would be trouble!
She now has no antibiotics.
Xiangying misses her medical building especially.
Previously, there was a whole floor filled with not only antibiotics and serums, but also a series of anti-inflammatories and cold medicines.
She entered the space attentively and checked the upgrade status of the space.
I saw that the transparent door from the fourth floor to the fifth floor was still locked.
It shows above that there is a lack of rare items to unlock the fifth floor.
The corresponding rare props are: words, beasts, and power.
These three words made Xiangying confused.
When she upgraded her space in the last days, it wasn't so complicated.
There was a cursing voice in my ears, and Yellow Beard came.
Xiangying retracted her thoughts and looked to the left.
Yellow Beard stepped on some shit somewhere, and he rubbed his hands on the big tree while cursing: "Damn, nothing goes as planned."
Xiangying suddenly felt frightened when she saw the animal dung on his feet.
She immediately walked over and asked: "Where did you step on it?"
Xiang Qianqian stared at Xiang Ying from a distance, not forgetting to taunt the Seventh Princess beside him: "Did the eldest sister have some feelings for the captain? Why does she care about him so much."
The seventh princess pursed her lips and said nothing, pretending not to hear.
Huang Beard over there told Xiang Ying that as soon as he came up from the hillside, he stepped on animal dung, and he spat several times in anger.
Xiangying's expression changed: "We can't stay here. You quickly report to the supervisor. We must leave now."
Huang Beard frowned: "I say, eldest princess, please don't embarrass me, okay? I rely on you for everything, and you are causing trouble at this time!"
Xiangying said in a serious tone: "This is fresh bear dung. Looking at the weight, it is definitely not small. The bear must not have gone far. We are too far away from the exiled troops. If there is danger, we will not have time to escape."< br>
Huang Beard had no experience in surviving in the wild. After hearing Xiangying's words, he laughed.
"Stop joking, even if there is a bear, if it sees so many of us, it dares to come over? If it comes, it will die!"
Huang Huzi left, and Xiangying frowned.
A gentleman would not stand behind a dangerous wall. If it had been in the past, she would have left immediately.
But it was easy for her to leave, and it was also easy for her to take away the three children and Taoxue.
But now that Xiang Li was seriously injured, she couldn't just leave him alone.
Xiangying made a quick decision and threw some rags torn from a wooden cart to Taoxue.
"Quick, I'll hold you up while you carry the child on your back and climb the tree."
Taoxue was confused: "Why?"
Xiangying acted quickly: "There may be wild animals around, I don't have time to explain the rest."
Taoxue was startled and just listened to Xiangying's instructions without saying a word.
The three children also became nervous, and Xiang Xiuxiu asked: "What about uncle?"
"I'll protect him." After Xiangying said that, she pushed Taoxue up the tree.
Taoxue hung Xiuxiu with a rope on her back. Xiang Yuanxiao and Xiang Yuanlang were pushed up respectively. Xiangying climbed up quickly with her hands and feet, tied the ropes on the children tightly to the tree, and then jumped down the trunk.
When people around her saw her move, they were inevitably confused.
"What are the eldest princess fussing about again?"
Xiangying tied her hair tightly and said to everyone who had a blank look on her face: "If you can climb a tree, tie it tightly with a rope so it doesn't fall off. The rest is left to fate."
Bears can climb trees.
The worst-case scenario is that she fails to kill the bear and it climbs a tree and eats people.
Who made them suffer the fate of encountering this kind of beast that can climb trees and likes to eat living animals.
After hearing what Xiang Ying said, a group of women and children immediately pushed the old supervisor, who had just woken up, into a tree.
But more people sat still and looked at Xiangying in confusion.
So good, what tree are you climbing on?
Xiang Qianqian said coldly: "Sister, you are too good at alarmism. If you ask us all to climb a tree, is there really a ferocious beast?"
"The swords in the hands of those soldiers are not decorations. There is really a ferocious beast. If it cannot get in front of us, the soldiers will kill it."
Xiangying glanced at her: "It's really dangerous. Do you think they will protect themselves or choose to push you out? Beasts will leave when they are full, but bears are different."
As long as it is a living creature, it is interested in attacking.
The people around were shocked, and they felt a little more credible when they saw Xiangying pushing her children into the tree.
They quickly followed the instructions. Even if they couldn't climb trees, they would rush up when being pulled by their relatives and hug the trunk tightly.
Seeing that everyone had climbed up, Xiang Qianqian couldn't climb trees, so she hurriedly looked for help.
Yu Bin was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to let her stay down there alone, so she stretched out her hand and pulled Xiang Qianqian up the tree together.
The supervisory soldiers patrolled over and cracked their whips: "Get down here! There are no ferocious beasts."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone screaming not far away.
Yellow Beard's angry voice came: "Shoot the arrow, shoot the arrow quickly!"
Screams and curses came one after another, more of which were screams and beastly roars.
The people climbing on the tree had a far field of view, and their faces turned pale after seeing the huge black bear rushing towards them with their own eyes.
The soldiers who had just waved their whips to tell everyone to come down were so frightened that they fled. Some of the soldiers fell to the ground with weak legs, and the black bear immediately bitten through their stomachs.
Xiang Qianqian was so frightened by this scene that she screamed. She climbed up in panic and accidentally stepped on Yu Bin's head, kicking her to the ground.
Xiang Qianqian's cry attracted the black bear's attention. Coupled with Yu Bin's fall, it immediately gave up on the half-eaten person in front of it and turned around to where Yu Bin was.
When Concubine Yu saw the beast approaching, she was so frightened that she became paralyzed and could not stand up.
She stretched out her hand and begged Xiangqianqian on the tree: "Pull me, please give me a hand!"
Xiang Qianqian was so scared that she hugged the tree trunk tightly, closed her eyes and trembled.
Xiangying frowned, her eyes as dark as stars.
If he really allowed the black bear to bite his concubine to death, then Xiang Li on the wooden board on the side would not end well either.
She decided to kill the black bear.
First, he chose a palm-sized crossbow from the space.
"Hey!" she shouted and jumped down from the tree.
Xiangying raised his crossbow and shot an arrow into the black bear's back.
However, the size of the crossbow was too small, and the arrows shot could only pierce the flesh.
The black bear's skin is thick and thick, almost as hard as steel wool.
It howled in pain, turned around and saw Xiangying, and immediately used all four legs to run towards her fiercely.
Xiangying turned around and ran away, intending to lure the black bear away from this place.
Everyone looked at the place where Xiang Ying disappeared. They were shocked and felt a heavy blow in their hearts.
The eldest princess is probably in danger!
