Chapter 633 Resting Place
Yue Zhenqiao naturally agreed with Li Nian's proposal.
There were too many unexpected situations along the way, which seriously slowed down the team's progress and itinerary.
Although these escorts have been escorting in the Fire Prison for many years and have rich experience in summer vacation, they all wear relatively heat-insulating special animal skin clothing produced by the Fire Prison, and they also carry a lot of water bags, ice stones and other things for cooling, which seems to be better than the "flying knives".
But after all, they are just a group of escorts, and they are also affected by the high temperature at this moment.
Moreover, it is precisely because of their rich experience and years of activities outside that they know very well what the consequences of staying outdoors for a long time at noon in the Fire Prison are, and they are more awed by such things.
Walking in the winding valley road, the team's speed is obviously much faster than before.
After a long time, they repelled several waves of still abnormal but fortunately small-scale demon attacks again, and they were about to leave the scope of Fuyuan Mountain.
But...
From the fact that He Yuezhenqiao was looking at the sky, the map, and the hourglass more and more anxiously and frequently, their progress was still not fast enough!
Lin Yu felt his lips were a little dry while walking in the team.
He even had to temporarily take Hannah back - as an aquatic animal, even if the little octopus had a higher status, it had its own natural weaknesses before reaching the realm of "doing whatever it wants".
Hannah was really afraid of heat and dryness. If she was exposed to the sun in such weather, Lin Yu was very worried that the little octopus would turn into dried octopus.
"What about me, Boss? Am I not afraid of the sun?"
Old Zheng, who was hidden in Lin Yu's sleeve, said resentfully: "I am just a piece of delicate and fragile connective tissue. If I am exposed to the sun without the protection of the skull, I will become a roasted brain."
Lin Yu said helplessly: "I see you are quite energetic."
"Actually, it is a last gasp," Old Zheng flashed, "Please take me back, too, please."
"No, Hannah went back because it really couldn't hold on, and I can't use it for the time being," Lin Yu cruelly rejected Old Zheng, "and you... Now we are carrying a situation we don't know yet 'The remains' are moving, and may attract new demon attacks at any time, so..."
"You have to stay outside."
Hearing Lin Yu's words, Lao Zheng sighed: "Okay, boss... Is there any high temperature subsidy?"
"Did you have a salary before, and you also have a subsidy?"
"What a black heart...!"
And even with Lin Yu's strong physique, which can be regarded as the upper middle level in the Black Swamp Realm, he felt thirsty and burning. Lao Zheng, a former 'third level', began to try to ask Lin Yu to put it back into the [prop space]...
The other ordinary escorts in the team were naturally dizzy and chapped.
The few who were injured before were directly unconscious and groaning, and they could feel extremely painful just by listening.
The employer 'Flying Knife' has also been lying on the horse's back motionless, and he is about to faint from heatstroke at any time.
In the whole team, the only ones who are in a better condition are Lin Yu, Yue Zhenqiao and his deputy, the chief and deputy escorts.
Of course, there are also Sanyang and Li Nian. Needless to say, Sanyang is a native demon of the Fire Prison and a leader-level demon. Although Sanyang doesn't like being exposed to the sun, it obviously has an extremely outstanding ability to withstand high temperatures.
Even though it was approaching noon, Sanyang only stuck out his tongue from time to time to dissipate heat and did not show any signs of decline.
As for Li Nian, she was the one with the mildest symptoms among humans.
She wore sunglasses and hummed a song, and even had the leisure to look around and chat with Lin Yu.
"It would be nice to have a big watermelon in this hot weather - preferably one that's been chilled, not in the fridge but in the well. Cut a big leaf and eat it directly. The juice is so cold that it hurts your gums. That's how refreshing it is!"
"Hey, Sister Zhu Ming, do you like crispy or sandy watermelons? I like crispy and juicy ones. Sandy watermelons are sweet, but I always feel itchy in my throat after eating them..."
Lin Yu helplessly: "You're not hot at all?"
"Fortunately, this outfit was stolen from a big source, and it's useful for keeping warm and avoiding the heat," Li Nian pinched and shook her fingertips, and Lin Yu realized that she was wearing a transparent soft coat, "However, although Yue Biaotou is getting more and more anxious, we should find a place to rest soon."
As Li Nian said this, Lin Yu was a little surprised.
"How did you know?"
He was too hot to observe Yue Zhenqiao.
"Because he started to get confused," Li Nian said calmly, "especially when he was looking at the map... This shows that Yue Biaotou was confused about something..."
Lin Yu's thinking was not affected by the high temperature, so after hearing what Li Nian said, he also reacted.
"Is Yue Biaotou planning to take a shortcut, or not go to the village where he originally planned to rest but spend the noon somewhere else?"
"I guess so."
Li Nian nodded.
Not long after, the escort team finally left the territory of Fuyuan Mountain - walking out of the end of the valley, there appeared two downhill forks in front of them.
The left one leads to a mountain with complex and steep terrain, and the right one leads to another mountain with complex and steep terrain.
Here, Yue Zhenqiao took out the map and hourglass for the last time - and he even stopped his horse to look at it.
Finally, Yue Zhenqiao made up his mind.
"Everyone, it may be too late for us to go to 'Wuquan Village' again. It is almost noon now... So this time we will take another road, go a little closer, and rest at Chenjiabao on the other side of 'Shuangju Mountain'."
"When the time comes, we will go to the well to refill the water bags and give the wounded a chance to rest. At night, we will go to Wuquan Village to rest as planned."
Yue Zhenqiao tried to cheer up and said.
The escorts in the team seemed to be a little shocked by this decision and were entangled.
"Shuangju Mountain? Chenjiabao?"
"This..."
But soon, the deputy escort leader spoke again and dispelled the doubts in the team.
"The distance to Chenjiabao is much shorter than Wuquan Village. It takes less than a quarter of an hour to get there now, and it's not too far to set off tomorrow... What Lao Yue said is the best solution now!"
"If we grit our teeth and go to Wuquan Village, it's good to arrive smoothly. We can barely land at the beginning of noon. If we are blocked by monsters for a moment, it will be a big trouble!"
The deputy escort leader said, and everyone was finally convinced.
"Okay, just listen to the orders of the escort leader Yue."
The escorts turned their horses around and followed Yue Zhenqiao into the mountain road on the left.
Lin Yu, who was mixed in the team, frowned again.
"It seems that there is something strange about Chenjiabao..."
From what the deputy escort leader said, Chenjiabao is much closer than Wuquan Village.
What was Yue Zhenqiao struggling with before?
After Yue Zhenqiao said this plan, what were these ordinary escorts struggling with?
There must be something strange about Chenjiabao that made them so entangled!
