Purifying Mantra Chapter 21 Finding the Water Source

"Come here! There is a place for us to sit down and rest!" I rubbed my painful knees on the bridge. I didn't dare to take another look at the deep valley at my feet. The cold wind blowing from the bottom of the valley was like a knife scratching my exposed skin, and it might increase the force at any time and knock me over.

Huang Xiao arrived right after me, and he climbed to the edge of the other side of the bridge and sat down tacitly. After waiting for a long time, Zhao Shuang arrived: "The mice didn't dare to follow. Could it be because the wind on the bridge was too strong?" He sat down on the edge of the wall guarding the end of the bridge.

"I hope so!" The snakes did not dare to set foot on the mice's territory, so they stopped chasing on the slope. According to this urine behavior, the rats stopped here... My whole body shook violently.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Shuang looked at me sideways and asked. I looked back at him. The clothes on his body were all rags. His face was gray and completely lifeless. There were many small wounds on his neck and face, which were bleeding out. His lips were chapped and bloodless, and he looked like a ghost.

"I'm fine! You..." I don't know how to describe it. He doesn't need condolences, he needs treatment.

Zhao Shuang shook his head and leaned against the rock wall tiredly.

"Huang Xiao! You'd better give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise I'll beat you to pieces!" I roared at the other side of the bridge.

Huang Xiao coughed violently. After a long pause, he sighed and said with a weak voice, "I'm just curious about the dead people in the passage! Usually there are rare treasures in places with many dead people."

Zhao Shuang said that Huang Xiao must have gone down into the tree hole. I believed Zhao Shuang. Huang Xiao was lying to me again. I was a little angry: "You almost killed us!" I roared uncontrollably, causing the rocks under me to break. It cracked, which frightened me for a while.

Zhao Shuang was also startled and stretched out his hand to pull me towards him. Fortunately, nothing happened.

"You shouldn't follow me!" Huang Xiao whispered, not knowing whether he was talking to himself or to us. When I heard him suppressing his cough and making a muffled sound, my heart softened and I decided not to pursue it further.

"How are you? Can you hold on?" I asked while carefully moving my body, taking out the medical bag from my bag, taking out two packs of headache powder, and motioned to Zhao Shuang to pass them on.

"Don't worry! I won't die! Thank you!" Huang Xiao said in a low voice after receiving the headache relief.

I broke off two antibiotics and handed them to Zhao Shuang. He raised his head and ate them without saying a word. I also took two. "Huang Xiao, take the headache powder first, and I'll give you antibiotics later!"

Huang Xiaoqing responded: "It's time to eat!"

In order to save power, Huang Xiao and I turned off the flashlights and emergency lights. Sitting in a dark environment, without the rats chasing me, my adrenaline was extremely low. The wounds on my body and my sweat-soaked clothes made me feel like I was sinking into hell.

I had to find something to distract myself, otherwise I would be tortured to death by my own will.

"Do you think this bridge is natural or man-made?" I heard my voice hoarse, and I felt that my throat was so dry that it was almost smoking.

"Make it artificial!" Zhao Shuang responded to me almost immediately. It seemed that he also needed to distract his attention.

"How is that possible! It must be naturally formed." Huang Xiao's voice was hoarse than mine.

"Yes, who is so bored and bothers to build a bridge here? If we can get out alive, we can develop this place into a tourist attraction, right! A kind of adventure haunted house! Our main project is to visit the remains of giants and specimens of two-headed snakes. Shoot swarms of snakes and giant rats. Cross the invisible bridge! You will definitely make a lot of money!"

"Good idea, I agree!" Huang Xiao agreed.

Zhao Shuang laughed and looked at me sideways: "I'm not so optimistic! I don't think those Japanese soldiers came for tourism and adventure. And do you remember the standing posture of those giant skeletons? They had their hands crossed and shoulders, obviously that It’s a guardian, or a priest. So this must be a man-made place.”

"Oh? Then tell me what the purpose of building this place is?" Seeing that everyone's interest was aroused, I felt relieved and leaned against the rock wall behind me. A coldness that was worse than the sweat-dampened clothes hit my back. , which made me shiver suddenly. I turned my hand over and wiped it. The wall was wet and there was some water seepage.

"There is water nearby!" I shouted in surprise.

"I feel it too!" Huang Xiao whispered.

"I'm going to check it out!" I threw my backpack to Zhao Shuang, carrying only a flashlight and a shovel.

"I'll go explore here too!" There was a rustling, and Huang Xiao also started to move.

I crawled along the edge of the wall. The further I moved forward, the wider the road became, and a pool of water appeared in a place four or five meters wide. The water in the pool is formed by water seeping from the rock wall. There is a gap on the edge of the pool, which quietly leads the accumulated water to the bottom of the valley.

Very good! We can't die this time. I carefully identified the purity of the water. The water was very clean, with no visible microorganisms and no odor. It tastes a little sweet. I lay down by the pool and moistened my parched throat in an imageless way. The cold water suddenly gave me a layer of chicken skin all over my body.

I don't care about this and want to tell the brothers the good news as soon as possible. The excitement made me ignore the danger I was in, and I almost fell off the edge of the wall in my panic.

"Be careful!" Zhao Shuang growled at me. He was always paying attention to my movements.

"I found the water source, we can't die!" I knelt on the edge of the narrow wall, grabbed his shoulders and shook him, as if I had discovered a new world.

Zhao Shuang twitched the corners of his lips to give me a smile back, but the sound he made was a hiss of suppressed pain. He raised his hands with difficulty and grabbed my shoulders. He squeezed hard with his fingers and spit out what he wanted me to say. Words to beat him up: "Calm down!"

It was like a bucket of cold water had been poured on me, extinguishing all excitement in an instant. That's right, it's not like I've found a way out, so there's nothing to be happy about. "I've tasted the water, and it's clean enough to drink. Please clean the wound by the way, and I'll see what other medicines can be used!" With that said, I climbed up the bridge to make way for Zhao Shuang.

Zhao Shuang nodded, followed my example and crawled toward the water source. Not long after climbing, he suddenly stopped, looked at me and said, "You have received no training, but you have already performed very bravely and great today!" "He quickly disappeared into the darkness without waiting for my response.

I stood stunned on the bridge, feeling funny in my heart. Is this praising me? Why the hell do I feel like that's something an adult would say to praise a child.

A ray of light hit me and shook me. I looked along the light and saw that it was Huang Xiao.

"Zhu Mo! I found the water source!" He was hiding the light, and I couldn't see his expression, but I could tell from his tone that he was as excited as I was just now. Suddenly I felt warm in my heart. Huang Xiao must be like me. He discovered the water source and only quenched his thirst before coming to inform us. He didn't even bother to deal with his own injuries.

"I also found a water source over there. I asked Zhao Shuang to treat the wound first. He was bitten by a snake and was seriously injured. You should go and treat the wound quickly! I will guard this place." I didn't dare to speak loudly, it was empty. The valley echoed, making me shiver inexplicably. The child's voice echoing in the nightmare suddenly flashed in my mind.
