Chapter 444: Backing off
And in the next day.
Gu Chan and his group of five people, led by Frog King, went deep into the Nifeng Valley.
Precisely because of the presence of the Frog King, the five of them avoided many ferocious mysterious beasts along the way. Of course, there were some mysterious beasts that they could not avoid, and the five of them had to confront them head-on.
The Frog King knew the weaknesses of these mysterious beasts, and under the threat of Gu Chan, he had no choice but to help them.
Soon the sky darkened, and the trace of light that was still in the Niefeng Valley disappeared, causing the entire valley to fall into darkness.
The Frog King stood on Gu Chan's right shoulder and said, "Hurry up and find a place to hide. Vampire bats dominate the headwind valley at night. You can't deal with them at all." 】
"Is this vampire bat so powerful?" Gu Chan asked curiously.
In modern times, it's not like she hasn't seen bats before and doesn't feel how scary they are.
"Bang!"
As soon as Gu Chan finished speaking, before the Frog King could reply, Chang Wei, who was walking in front of her, suddenly fell to the ground in front of him.
Wei Xing and the other three were immediately stunned.
Tu Meng quickly stepped forward to help him up, patted his face and asked, "Mr. Chang, what's wrong with you?"
"Oh my god! His face is so pale! What's going on? Could it be that the frog poison hasn't been completely removed and is it attacking again?" Hua Ling said in surprise.
Gu Chan stepped forward to take a closer look, stretched out her hand to pinch his wrist and took his pulse. She couldn't help but said with a solemn face, "It has nothing to do with the frog poison. He has lost too much blood."
"Ah? He didn't bleed either!" Hua Ling said doubtfully.
Everyone had been walking for a day. Although Chang Wei was beaten all over by Gu Chan, he didn't bleed. He was very energetic along the way. How could he have lost too much blood just after dark.
Wei Xing and Tu Meng also looked at each other, looking at each other.
At this time, the Frog King said in Gu Chan's ear, "Turn him over and take a look at the clothes on his back." 】
"Quickly, turn him over and lift up the clothes on his back to take a look." Gu Chan quickly ordered.
Tu Meng was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, and hurriedly turned Chang Wei over on his stomach, and reached out to lift off the clothes on his back.
Just when this piece of clothing was lifted, the scalps of the four people went numb immediately.
Just because of this, Chang Wei's back was covered with dozens of black bugs.
These bugs were like locusts, each one as big as the tip of a person's thumb. They bit his back tightly and kept sucking his blood. He didn't know when they got into his clothes. , attached to his back.
Anyway, at this moment, these black bugs are all bulging.
The Frog King said, [These black bugs are called blood-sucking bugs, which are the larvae of vampire bats. They are very small before they suck blood. It is extremely difficult to detect whether they are two-legged beasts or mysterious beasts. Once possessed by them, they can usually only After being sucked dry of blood by it, they will form a cocoon on the possessed unlucky egg and hatch into a vampire bat. 】
"Then how can we get rid of them?" Gu Chan asked.
[If you can't get rid of them, once you forcefully get rid of them, they will release poisonous poison to kill him. Anyway, I have lived in the Headwind Valley for so many years, and I have never seen anyone survive after being possessed by them. 】Frog King explained.
Gu Chan's face turned extremely ugly when she heard this.
It is impossible to save Chang Wei as soon as possible, and it is too dangerous to continue walking to the Qilin Beast's cave, so we can only find a place to rest temporarily and avoid night operations. With this in mind, Gu Chan decisively gave the order, "Quick, take him to find a hidden place to hide and rest. Let's spend the night later. We are still some distance away from the Qilin Beast's cave. We can't move at night. Otherwise it would be too dangerous.”
"Tu Meng, you carry him on your back, and I'll explore the way ahead." Wei Xing said.
Tu Meng nodded solemnly, quickly picked up Chang Wei and followed him forward.
Gu Chan took Hua Ling and Bai Hu to protect them.
Half an hour later, after a difficult search, the five people finally found an abandoned cave of a mysterious beast on a rock wall.
After the Frog King confirmed that there was no danger in the cave, Gu Chan led everyone to hide in.
Since there were no plants growing in Nifeng Valley, Gu Chan and the others could not find firewood and could not live at all. They could only sit back to back to keep warm.
At the same time, by resting in this way, you can also avoid vampire bat larvae waiting for an opportunity to enter.
Chang Wei was placed lying down next to Gu Chan.
At this moment, he has fallen into a severe coma. If he can't find a way to save him, he may not survive until dawn.
"Hiss, hiss..."
In the canyon outside the cave, as the night deepened, the sharp and piercing screams of vampire bats continued to sound.
Hua Ling was so frightened that she trembled all over and said, "Damn Nifeng Valley, I knew I wouldn't come, but now I don't even know if I can get out alive."
"What's the use of talking about this now? It's better to quickly think about how to save Mr. Chang. After we save him, we can discuss it tomorrow morning to see if we should continue to go deeper." Tu Meng sighed.
Wei Xing nodded quickly and said, "Brother Gu, they are right. Now we should consider whether we should continue to go deeper tomorrow or go back and exit the Headwind Valley."
"After receiving money from others, you backed down before the matter was settled?" Gu Chan said angrily.
"After we return to Jiangnan City, he will settle the matter if we return all the money we collected. Right now I think it's more important to save my life." Wei Xing said tremblingly.
The key point is that this day of wandering in the headwind valley is too dangerous.
This was still with the Frog King leading the way. Without it, it was hard to say whether they would have been able to get here.
So now not only him, but also Tu Meng and Hua Ling are starting to retreat.
Gu Chan looked at the Frog King lying in her arms, and then at the White Fox sitting next to her, and her heart became entangled.
After thinking in silence for a while, she said, "Let's do it! Since the three of you have backed down, I won't say anything more. Let's save Chang Wei first."
"How to save him! Didn't you tell me that the Frog King also said that he can't be saved? If we forcibly remove the bugs on his back, they will release poisonous poison to kill him! His final result will not be death." Tu Meng spread his hands and said.
Wei Xing and Hua Ling nodded noncommittally.
Gu Chan reached out and touched her chin and muttered, "Then if we can find a way to deal with the poison they release while picking these bugs, wouldn't we be able to save Chang Wei?"
"No, I don't understand. You beat him like a dog in the morning, looking like you wanted to kill him. Why are you trying to save him now!" Tu Meng grinned and asked suddenly.
Wei Xing and Hua Ling became interested and both raised their eyes to look at Gu Chan.
