Chapter 81 What a coincidence! It has to be you again!
"Could you help me with this miner mole? Grab it by the scruff of its neck so it can't bite you. Remember to use a firm grip, its skin is thick."
"I can't reach my back, could you help me apply some medicine?"
"Girl, what's your name?"
......
Zhong Ming said a lot, but the girl didn't respond.
She took out bandages and medicine from her storage bag, but then used them on herself.
"What happened? Are you injured too?"
"No," she seemed hesitant to speak, fidgeting with the bandage a few times before whispering, "I don't bandage other people's wounds, but I've treated my own..."
Zhong Ming was speechless. Hearing her speak softly, he lowered his own tone and said as "gently" as possible, "It's okay, just keep tying it up, I can adjust it myself."
She stood there gesturing for a while before starting to move, but when her hands touched her blood-soaked back, her movements became extremely clean and swift.
Zhong Ming only felt a cold hand touch his back. The next moment, he was wrapped up like a rice dumpling, and the straps were tied around his body at an extremely fast speed, round and round with precision.
Within a few breaths, his wounds were bandaged up tightly.
"Okay, that works perfectly. Try applying some deodorizer to cover up the smell of blood."
This is what Zhong Ming is most worried about. If he gets injured and causes the team to be exposed, then the consequences would be dire.
After applying some deodorizing agent to his back, Zhong Ming, feeling angry, also applied it to the mine mole.
The sticky liquid immediately provoked the mole's displeasure upon contact with its fur. It grabbed the spirit stone with its two paws and pulled it from its mouth. Just as it was about to cry out, a low-grade spirit stone was stuffed into its mouth.
In an instant, it was neither able to eat nor bear to let go, its whole body stiffened, letting Zhong Ming smear it all over its body.
A large, fat mining mole writhed and struggled, but its mouth and claws were honest, gripping and biting the spirit stone and refusing to let go.
"My Daoist name is Crimson Eyes." Seeing that Zhong Ming had almost finished his work, the girl suddenly said this, and then fell into endless silence again.
Zhong Ming nodded and replied, "Master Cuihong, it's a pleasure to meet you."
After saying that, he casually tapped the wriggling mole on the head.
He quickly finished all his work. The two began walking along the riverbank, the mine mole tossed onto his shoulder and standing obediently by itself.
It's so nice that the eldest brother feeds me.
In the distance, the red light had faded to almost nothing, and the riverbank was quiet and peaceful. Zhong Ming wanted to shout, but he was unsure if it would disturb the wolves. After groping around for a while, he reached the approximate location. The surrounding area was a rocky beach, with a forest not far away. The vegetation was lush, and the wild grass was half a person tall.
The team members emerged from the bushes. They had already applied deodorizing agent and were using the travel talisman of the dog tycoon Xuanjing.
Xuanjing gripped the talisman tightly in his hand, looking at Xueyan with pleading eyes. Xueyan had no choice but to speak up and comfort him.
"Don't worry, these are all war losses, they will be recorded and returned to you in the form of military merit points."
Xuan Jing looked at me with disbelief, thinking, "If the witness dies, wouldn't I have lost money for nothing?"
When the group saw Zhong Ming return, they waved to him, trying to remain silent.
Zhong Ming had no choice but to report the matter.
"Reporting, instructor, I'm injured. I was bitten, but the wound has been bandaged and treated with deodorant." As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked over.
Everyone was holding back their laughter, their eyes filled with a mixture of schadenfreude, regret, relief at having escaped unscathed, and a sense of "thank you so much"... but there wasn't a single trace of concern for his injury.
"That would be great."
Matt rushed forward and grabbed Zhong Ming's hand tightly, his excitement leaving Zhong Ming completely bewildered.
You just brought your team members back, is it really necessary to make such a fuss?
Xueyan gently leaned closer, patted Zhong Ming's shoulder, and asked, "Will this have no impact on the operation?"
"No." (Proud face)
"Okay, then you'll be in charge of being the bait."
Zhong Ming: ? ? ?
Oh no, what a coincidence! That damned mine mole, why did it have to wake up at any time? It had to bite me when I was in the water.
Zhong Ming wished he could bite it back on the spot and use it as bait.
"Instructor, my spirit pet was a bit disobedient and bit me. It's not that serious..."
"That's great! You go with it as bait. With blood and the scent of weak monsters, the effect will definitely be excellent." After Xueyan finished speaking, she didn't give him any time to object and immediately ordered the whole team to set off.
Zhong Ming was at the front of the group, running quickly toward the place where people had been attacked, with the others following behind.
Even his closest comrades, like Yue Kaishan, were powerless to help him now. The others, armed with longbows and crossbows, were like a guerrilla force, practically ready to charge forward with bayonets pointed at him.
"I'll give you extra military merit points later~~" Judging from the lip movements, that's what he was saying.
Zhong Ming trembled with tension. Xue Yan urged him to run quickly, like a weak human fleeing from a ferocious beast. The smell of blood on his body was faint, and the deodorant could only wipe away the smell emanating from his sweat glands. It was not enough to remove the smell of blood.
He ran wildly, and suddenly spotted something ahead. He looked around, chose a big tree, and nimbly climbed up it.
Standing on the tree and looking down, there was blood everywhere in front of me. Wooden carts and wheelbarrows were overturned on the side, and torn clothes and old straw sandals were scattered everywhere. There was no sign of any living person, not even a piece of flesh.
Zhong Ming remained remarkably calm. Faced with this terrifying situation, the shadow of the small town in his mind led him to have a slightly erroneous thought.
'That's it? Not as good as Qingxi Town.' Zhong Ming knew this was the wrong thought, but he couldn't suppress it and didn't want to. Perhaps only by thinking this way could he maintain himself in this environment.
'Really, with such a strong smell of blood, what use is my little injury?' he thought to himself, but he was bait and had to act like bait.
Since he's not afraid, then...
He jumped down from the tree, looked around, and tiptoed to the empty carts, rummaging through them and deliberately making a lot of noise. He looked like a very bold bandit, or a miser who valued making money more than the threat of death.
He was cursing and swearing, as if he was using loud curses to cover up his fear, like a person walking at night shouting and singing to embolden themselves.
“Damn poor bastards, they deserve to die here. What kind of junk is this? Nobody would want it if it were lying on the ground. But I had to take it with me. They deserve it.”
He rummaged through the box, slamming it to the ground. The cast iron Buddha statues and ancestral carved antiques inside were thrown to the ground with a series of crashing sounds.
After circling around the few dilapidated cars a few times, Zhong Ming picked up an iron rod on the ground. He guessed it was left behind by those poor people who had tried to resist with force but failed. He picked it up and pretended to pry open a large wooden box, exposing his back to the deepest and darkest forest.
Its eerie wolf-like eyes, like those of a wandering ghost, lurk in the deepest darkness.
