Vol 7 Chapter 25: Antidote

"Initial Evolution (
After hearing what Jordan said, Fang Linyan was taken aback:
"Go back now? Go back to your canyon camp? It will be dark soon. It's a bit far away."
Jordan shook his head and said:
"Don't worry about it, just go to Yanchi."
Hearing what she said, Fang Linyan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief:
"Okay, let's take you there."
Jordan knew that human machinery is very powerful in long-distance transportation, so she did not refuse, and when she left, she also confessed a few words to the people of her clan, it was nothing more than cleaning the battlefield and not causing trouble.
When leaving, you can see that the centaur outside is very active and attentive when cleaning the battlefield.
Many things that Fang Linyan seemed to be completely were picked up by this group of people as treasures, and even half of tattered animal skins were not let go. This shows the usual days of the Magram Centaurs. It is also quite embarrassing, and living materials should be quite scarce.
At this time, knowing that Jordan is going to pass, two centaurs are also accompanying, and they will also bring a part of the trophies that have been sorted out.
Bai Ruide is obviously aware of the importance of these centaur allies, and he is obviously unwilling to let Fang Linyan and others monopolize such resources, so he said:
"In this way, wrench you to accompany Jordan, and the vultures and goats stay and do me a favor, and I will send Ali to help you."
Ali is a black man who looks very strong and can be called a typical muscular stick.
Well, if you want to use a reference to describe it, the famous NBA fashionista, famous selfless player, famous team player, famous rebounder Westbrook Brusque is almost his template.
Ali smiled at Fang Linyan, showing his big white teeth.
"Please take care."
Fang Linyan nodded and said:
"Little things."
Next, in order to save people, plus live navigation, Fang Linyan drove the all-terrain vehicle very fast, about an hour or so, and drove to the vicinity of the Yanchi camp of the Magram Centaur.
The specific location of the salt pond is located in an underground rift valley. It is very hidden. There are only seven or eight tents large and small. The tents look even more dusty, at least from the appearance they look dirty and broken.
However, beside the salt pond, there are still a lot of shrubs and grasses growing. Probably because of genetic problems, the saline-alkali soil that makes it difficult for ordinary plants to root is like fertile soil for them, growing very well, and lush.
These plants are salt-secreting plants, also known as salt-expelling substances, much like human perspiration and excretion of salt.
The plants here include Sporphyra vulgaris, mangroves, scallops, etc. They grow in salty soil. The plants absorb a lot of salt, but the salt does not accumulate in the body. Instead, the salt-secreting glands on the surface of the leaves discharge excess salt from the body to prevent excessive accumulation of salt from causing harm.
For centaur, someone collects the salt secreted from the surface of the leaves of these plants and sells it as a boutique product. At the same time, the salt-spitting plants are strictly protected. They are only allowed to reproduce nearby, and all other plants are pulled out. .
In addition, there were seven or eight large wooden stakes around, and Fang Linyan didn't know what it was for a while.
Obviously, the Magram Centaur clan had always kept an observation post in such a treasured geomancy place, so when Fang Linyan and the others approached, there were already five or six centaurs standing in front of them, holding the spears in their hands. Go dry.
However, when Jordan and the two centaurs carrying large bags and small bags appeared, these centaurs who were facing the enemy suddenly approached excitedly. When counting the trophies, they raised their spears and sent them out. Excited "yo ha yo ha" voice.
Under this high morale situation, Jordan said that it was going to formulate herbal medicines, and immediately received a positive response from the group, and as soon as they were hired, they started to work.
Because the all-terrain vehicle that drove had some glitches on the road, Fang Linyan directly repaired it after stopping.
After he was properly repaired, almost half an hour had passed, so he strolled around curiously.
It was dark at this time, and a bonfire had been lit in the center of the camp in advance. There were two female centaurs lying in a tent around them. They were wrapped in black straw turbans and dressed similar to Jordan’s. They were dealing with some freshly collected Herbs are processed.
After two more glances, Fang Linyan found that the processing procedure is quite simple. Almost all fruit herbs are shelled, dried, placed in special pots, and then fumigated with fire. Some plant herbs are separated from their roots. After mashing, squeeze out the juice inside and pour it into a bamboo tube next to it for preservation.
And there is also a witch doctor in this tribe. The witch doctor is an elderly man who is treating a wounded centaur.
Although Fang Linyan had no chance to talk to him, it seemed that Jordan was more reliable from the appearance of the witch doctor who was trying to treat the wounded and chanting words.
It is worth mentioning that the two centaurs that the witch doctor was treating had just returned from the outside. They were on patrols with a reconnaissance mission. They encountered a small team of the evacuated Kyrgyz tribe and finally escaped. come back.
As a result, the witch doctor could only save one, and the other centaur was seriously injured and died without waiting for the witch doctor's help.
Facing the death of their companions, the rest of the people did not show much sadness, but two people came and carried it to a meadow not far away, facing a "big wooden stake" that Fang Linyan had seen before. before.
The witch doctor walked to the side of the "big wooden stake" and began to circle around the thing while humming a sad-sounding song in his mouth.
Only then did Fang Linyan realize that the big wooden stake actually looked like some kind of plant.
Its trunk is thick and round, and looks like a large wine tank from a distance. Its diameter reaches an astonishing half a meter, but it is generally not tall. The top sky is only one meter less than two meters, and the tree body is still full. With the sudden small spikes, the density of the small spikes can keep pace with the cactus.
While the witch doctor was circling around, there was a centaur on one side that brought out a basin and watered it towards the root of the "big wooden stake". As the water was poured down, the top of the thing actually began to slowly stretch out. A lot of tendrils.
In just ten minutes, it changed from a stubby big wooden stake shape to the shape of a pot lid like a radar antenna. Of course, the crown part above is made up of countless dense and tough tendrils.
According to Jordan’s introduction, the plant is called "Dolankar", and there is a beautiful story:
Legend has it that "Dolankar" was gifted to the centaur by the Thora. At this time, Fang Linyan saw only seedlings.
In the heyday of the tribe, there was a mature Dolankar, which can enjoy the shade under the huge tree. The nourishing fruits and branches have medical effects. The branches grow strangely like tree roots, just like the roots grow in them. The "inverted tree" on the head is the same.
Immediately afterwards, the dead Magram centaur was sent to Dolankar's tendril canopy, and then it was tightly wrapped by those tentacled leaves.
As the deceased was sent into it, all the centaurs nearby began to sing elegies, which sounded like elegies from elves. The sadness was long, and there was no lack of solemnity, and the hoarseness was full of a primitive and primitive flavor.
As the singing sounded, Fang Linyan could feel a faint sadness, and Dulankar's bark unexpectedly appeared with layers of strange ripples, which looked illusory and true.
It is said that it only takes one day and one night for the fallen warrior to be absorbed by this magical plant without even leaving ashes.
Jordan told Fang Linyan that this was their funeral ceremony for the centaur. Centaur people admire nature. Funerals in the clan are held by witch doctors. The spells are passed down by shamans to help the dead return to the embrace of Mother Earth.
After the dead are turned into nutrients for the trees, their souls can be redeemed, and the witch doctor who casts the spell is his herbal medicine teacher.
Centaur respects the deceased and believes that the remains should not be insulted, otherwise their souls will not be able to rest, and even after death they will not have the opportunity to reincarnate in the next life.
In this way, Dolankar is like a centaur's physical transformation factory, not only providing them with precious medicinal materials, but also giving them religious beliefs.
And because of the special relationship between the Centaur and Dolankar, every time the Centaur sees such a short and thick tree, a touch of respect will be born in the heart, as if it had met a dead old friend and ancestor. Make them treat trees like relatives.
Next, Jordan cut a knife on Dolankar's bark, and immediately noticed that some thick juice was flowing out of it. The key was that the juice was still shining with a faint phosphorescence, which looked very strange.
Jordan also took a breath:
"Whether your companion can be rescued depends on whether you can get Dolankar's sap-this is the main antidote, and it will only be secreted after our holy tree has been sacrificed. of."
Fang Linyan nodded and said:
"So how long will I get the antidote?"
Jordan Road:
"quickly."
And Fang Linyan immediately knew what Jordan meant by soon. It was really fast, at most one minute later.
The antidote is to soak the juice of Dolankar with the pills that have been processed before. Well, the appearance is very unsightly and the taste is very bad, at least it caused a lot of trouble to Fang Linyan's nose.
There is also unfortunate news that this medicine has a time limit. The centaur's time calculation unit is "heap", which is the time that a bunch of bonfires can burn.
Jordan told Fang Linyan that the timeliness of this thing is two "stacks", almost four hours, but now it’s getting dark. If it’s been delivered tomorrow morning, the wounded won’t be able to survive that time, and the antidote is also It will expire.
In this situation, Fang Linyan's only choice was definitely to rush back to the temporary base overnight.
Fortunately, the salt mines in Jordan are not far from the temporary camp, and it only takes less than an hour to drive the all-terrain vehicle, so Ali insisted on returning. After thinking about it, Fang Linyan decided to go back to deliver the medicine.
Soon, the two of them drove directly on the road. Fang Linyan drove the car for a day today, and the whole person was a little tired, so he leaned directly behind to calm his mind.
Driving on this long wasteland, the roar of the all-terrain vehicle engine was not too loud. At this time, it also spread far away in the quiet night. Because they are not familiar with each other, Fang Linyan and Ali did not What exchange.
Suddenly, Ali said:
"Hey, slow down, look at what's on the right?"
Fang Linyan immediately looked to the right, and noticed that there was a bit of light there. It seemed that there was still a tent. It seemed that the tent was of a temporary camp style. There seemed to be two figures in the tent, but from a distance. It's not very clear.
At this time, Ali was already driving the all-terrain vehicle and drove over there, while exclaiming excitedly:
"Wow! I thought Ai Jie who went out on patrols was dead, but I didn't expect to camp here."
"I see, most of them encountered the evacuated choppy, so they can only run here to avoid the wind."
Unexpectedly, when it was hundreds of meters away from the camp, there was already a sloping rocky beach ahead. The all-terrain vehicle could no longer drive through. Ali could only stop the car, then opened the door and walked down, while facing Fang Linyan. Road:
"Hey, what are you waiting for? Come and help, there are still wounded among them, we have to pick someone up and go there."
Fang Linyan didn't say much after listening to Ali's words. She also got out of the car. After the two walked out about fifty or sixty meters, Fang Linyan suddenly frowned:
"Something's wrong, the people in the tent didn't even move!"
After listening to Ali, he was suddenly stunned, but still a little unwilling. At this time, there were already a lot of "sissos" sounds around, and even a lot of mixed hums.
There was a bitter hatred in that voice, as if to shred the two of them into pieces.
Immediately afterwards, behind the stones, there appeared a pair of things that looked like light green ghost fire, and they were the eyes of the scavenger wolf! !
Obviously, the wisdom of the Kyrgyz centaur who fought with Fang Linyan and them during the day was surprisingly high!
The Aijie patrol that Ali said in his mouth was obviously annihilated, but the Kyrgyz Centaur did not completely retreat after leaving, and directly used the patrol's body and the luggage to set up a simple and vicious trap.
Ali is actually not stupid, but his concept is still that human beings are superior and underestimate the wisdom of these indigenous creatures, so he has to pay a fatal price.
Regarding this, Fang Linyan turned and rushed into the car without saying a word. He was also careless and followed Ali with inertia. As the saying goes, tigers always doze, but this time the mistakes are not fatal, but Fang Linyan doesn't bother to pay attention to Ali at this time. If he makes mistakes, he will fight on his own and let him fend for himself.
However, Fang Linyan hadn't gotten close to the all-terrain vehicle, and the forward of the wolves rushing forward was so fast that they rushed directly to the front, and even a few wolves with barking teeth and cracked teeth stood on the roof of the all-terrain vehicle.
Not only that, the large groups of wolves also began to roar one after another, and then began to shrink the encircling net, speeding up and rushing to swarm.
As soon as Ali gritted his teeth, knowing that life and death are at stake, he directly replaced it with a unique magazine, and then with a keen eye, he picked up the equipped K-14 automatic electromagnetic rifle and hit it with his hand up, shooting continuously at the wolves that fell.
The 8MM special "stabbing nail" bullet vented fiercely from the tongue of fire from the muzzle, and shot at the invading wolves with a precise attack method. As Bai Ruide's confidant, Ali was not only good marksmanship, but also powerful weapons. Immediately Ali brought down several wolves who were charging ahead.
Fang Linyan also cooperated with Ali to shoot at this time. The two of them fought and retreated. The gunshots under the night sky continued, and the screams continued. In just ten seconds, the vicious wolf pack pioneer was hit hard:
Approximately seven or eight wolves were killed or injured by the two crazy blasts. The ones who were killed were basically the special depleted uranium bombs used by Ali, while the remaining ones still hovered around them, constantly dodge Roundabout, waiting for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack.
The harsh gunshots intertwined with the howls of wolves, and they also attracted the far-off wolves and the Kyrgyz centaur. Fang Linyan followed Ali and stepped forward towards the all-terrain vehicle, hitting and moving, finally in a pack of wolves. Before the group came, rushed back into the car.
And Ali was really lucky. If Fang Linyan hadn't broken, and blocked the car door with his formidable strength, he would not have been able to replace it with any rescue team member.
But at this time, the front of the all-terrain vehicle was surrounded by many black wolves, and a pair of scarred green pupils kept shining, completely blocking the water surrounding the vehicle, and some even began to chew on the body and tires.
Not only that, at this moment, an elderly centaur holding a staff emerged from the darkness. He was muttering something in his mouth. When Fang Linyan found it, the staff of this guy was already facing this side. One finger!
I can see it immediately, a bunch of blue and white lightning directly aimed at this side and flew over!
Lightning bolt!
This lightning bolt hit the front of the car accurately, and the lights inside the UU Reading www.uukanshu.com all-terrain vehicle immediately flashed, and then went out weakly.
Fang Linyan lost an investigation, but found that his investigation was incomparable to a vulture, so he could only detect the name of this guy:
Kyrgyz mine caller!
I didn't see this guy appearing during the day, so the most reasonable explanation is that the Kyrgyz tribe came to help.
Ali frantically pressed the key to try to ignite. At this time, the all-terrain vehicle fell off the chain and couldn't start at all.
At this moment, a bright searchlight came from a distance. It was an all-terrain vehicle to assist. The driver of the car stepped on the accelerator directly to the end, making the vehicle look like a beast and aim at the wolf pack. Shock.
After the all-terrain vehicle speeded up, with the violent agitation of the engine, it rushed into the wolves. Several wolves were hit and flew into the air, and even the tracks of the all-terrain vehicle were covered with paint. In the bright red color, the vehicle ran rampant among the horrified wolves, and the people in the vehicle could only endure the violent bumps.
Seeing someone came to help, Fang Linyan and Ali shot wildly without spare energy, and this all-terrain vehicle also directly made a side-slip drift, so a few wolves who wanted to try to attack had no time to dodge, and they were all shot. The terrain vehicle was knocked out from the side.
At the same time, several firing ports of the all-terrain vehicle opened at the same time, and a large amount of fire spewed out of it, causing blood to spatter among the wolves.
At this time, the Kyrgyz Mine Summoner made another move, but in the dark, the blue and white thunder light in his hands was too conspicuous when it sang, and immediately someone shot a grenade over it, instantly making it honest , Let out a cry of pain.
