324: Section 324
"Do you think Lin Yi and the others will be able to find our corpses? I reckon it's unlikely. These things eat people without spitting out the bones!" Wei Nan laughed.
"It's better if they don't find us; it saves them the unnecessary grief. Even if we have to be eaten, we can't let it happen so easily!"
As the words fell, a look of determination flashed in their eyes.
Each holding their long blades, just as they were ready to charge at the spider for a life-or-death battle.
The spider seemed to sense something as well.
The blood-red light in its eyes flashed, and its body slowly lowered.
This was the stance of preparing to launch an attack.
And just at this moment.
Whoosh—an arrow shot over rapidly.
Puchi... it pinned the spider directly into the sandy ground.
Seeing this scene, both Wei Nan and Sun Tao were completely astonished.
They hurriedly looked around.
Only to see Shen Mengyi walking out from the darkness, holding a bow and arrow.
Behind her, Zhou Qi, Feng Lei, and the others were following closely.
The moment they saw familiar faces, their previously tense nerves suddenly relaxed.
Unable to support themselves any longer, they collapsed onto the ground.
"Damn... you guys finally found us. Otherwise, the next time we meet, we might have been spider poop..."
Wei Nan lay on the sandy ground, two lines of tears streaming from the corners of his eyes. At this moment, his heart was incredibly complex.
It was truly like walking a circle through the gates of hell and barely making it out, only to run into a soul-snatching demon a few steps later.
Fortunately, Shen Mengyi and the others appeared in time, killing the spider and saving the two of them.
The feeling of surviving a disaster is something only those who have truly experienced it can understand.
"How are you two? Why are your injuries so severe?" Feng Lei and Zhou Qi approached them.
They discovered that Wei Nan and Sun Tao were covered in blood.
"Don't mention it. It's already good enough that you can still see us; we almost turned into lizard poop..." Wei Nan said with a sigh.
Hearing this, Shen Mengyi couldn't help but laugh.
"One moment you're turning into spider poop, the next you're turning into lizard poop!"
"Are you two so keen on being poop?"
Wei Nan: "..."
"Come on, you two drink this first; it can treat your current injuries. However, it's not wise to stay here for long. We must leave as soon as possible!" Feng Lei took out two oral solutions and handed them to Wei Nan and Sun Tao.
He glanced around a few times. He faintly felt that the danger in the surroundings had not dissipated.
It was almost dawn. After dawn, those Yao Beasts would shrink back into hiding. Therefore, it was very likely they would launch a fierce attack before daybreak.
If they continued to stay here, they really might end up as their poop.
Wei Nan and Sun Tao drank the oral solution. Soon, the bleeding from their bodies was stanched.
The pain also subsided quite a bit, and Wei Nan stood up from the ground. His mental state also recovered somewhat.
"Can you walk?"
Feng Lei looked at them, and Wei Nan nodded slightly.
"This stuff is really effective. It worked as soon as I drank it?"
Feng Lei nodded: "This is a fast-acting medicine; it works immediately after consumption. However, for your injuries, you will need to go to the Medical Bureau for proper treatment after we leave here!"
"This medicine can only help you stop the bleeding and reduce the pain!"
"That's enough. Let's go, let's find Lin Yi and the others to regroup and leave this place together!"
Everyone had no objections and walked towards a part of The Desert.
Time passed minute by minute.
A hint of white appeared on the horizon.
The head of a giant lizard was severed by Lin Yi. He himself was completely unharmed, without even a drop of blood on him.
Xiao Qi swooped down from the sky and hurriedly landed on the giant lizard's head to eat its flesh. Just like before, it took a couple of pecks and stopped eating, then flapped its wings and took off into the air again.
This night, Xiao Qi seemed to have fallen in love with the feeling of flying. It kept circling above Lin Yi's head, only resting on his shoulder when it was tired. Once it had rested enough, it continued to circle...
"With Feng Lei by their side, you don't need to worry. Although Feng Lei, like me, has his Realm suppressed, he has rich combat experience!"
"And even if suppressed, he still has a 3-star Realm. Unless he encounters a Tengsha Snake, other Yao Beasts cannot do anything to him!"
"Wei Nan and the others will be fine!"
Wei Shang walked over, kindly comforting Lin Yi.
Since slaying the Tengsha Snake, they had killed no fewer than ten Yao Beasts along the way, one after another. And all of them were killed instantly.
Although Lin Yi hadn't expressed his current mood, Wei Shang could see it at a glance. He was unwilling to tangle with the Yao Beasts and killed them all directly. From this point, it was clear that Lin Yi was very anxious right now.
"Don't you guys in the Martial Suppression Bureau have any way of communicating? Like some kind of long-distance voice transmission? Or tracking marks or something?" Lin Yi said, turning back.
Hearing this, Wei Shang couldn't help but retort: "Do you think we in the Martial Suppression Bureau are all cultivators?"
"Long-distance voice transmission..."
"By the way, why don't you let Xiao Qi try? Maybe it can find Wei Nan and the others?" When Wei Shang saw Xiao Qi circling above their heads, a flash of light appeared in his eyes; he had thought of this method.
Lin Yi also looked up at Xiao Qi and reached out to call it down.
Chapter 242: Brother Didn't Disgrace You
Screech—a cry cut through the long night of Prison City, ushering in the white of dawn on the horizon.
Xiao Qi spread its wings and flew high, soaring towards the distance. Lin Yi kept watching Xiao Qi until it disappeared from his sight.
"Where did you get that bird?" Wei Shang walked over, dragging his somewhat exhausted body.
Before, in the battle against the Tengsha Snake, although he himself said his injuries weren't serious, that hit was not light. Although he had taken medicine afterward and his injuries had recovered somewhat, it would still take some time to fully recover.
"Big Brother Chu gave it to me!" Lin Yi answered with a smile.
"Big Brother Chu? Who is that?"
"Chu Zhengxiong!"
"Oh, that captain from the Monster Hunting Bureau, right? I've heard of him!" Wei Shang nodded.
