Chapter 21

Just as Fatty was hit by the arrow, lost consciousness, and fell, Rou Yi grabbed Fatty's hand, and Lewand quickly activated the black bridge.

The four of them successfully left the killing field through the black bridge before the gorilla caught up.

Fatty fainted.

The torrent's speed after the black bridge was unexpectedly fast, and the surging fluid made it impossible for them to maintain a stable posture.

The four of them relied entirely on Rou Yi's powerful strength to barely hold together.

In the initial stage of the torrent, they could barely control the landing point of the black bridge, but from this moment on, the four of them could only be swept along by the torrent, and where they would end up depended on luck.

However, compared to facing the terrifying gorilla army, their current situation was still somewhat hopeful.

Fatty was seriously injured, and it was unknown whether he could last until the next black bridge.

The speed of the torrent became faster and faster, and the fluid began to exhibit high-speed twisting and rotating. Even the experienced Lewand couldn't control his body, let alone Rou Yi and Dodge, who were struggling to take care of themselves, and Fatty, who was completely unconscious.

"Will Fatty die?"

Rou Yi murmured, looking at the long arrow piercing Fatty's chest like a wooden stick.

And the next second, the passage suddenly narrowed sharply, and the four of them were swept into the very center of the fluid. The high-speed centrifugal motion caused Rou Yi, Lewand, and Dodge to faint before long.

...

After an unknown amount of time, Rou Yi was the first to wake up.

She found herself in a dry and warm cave. Lewand and Dodge beside her were still unconscious, and Fatty was lying on his side. The long arrow piercing his chest was like a straw sucking the life force out of Fatty, draining his vitality.

Fatty's face was almost devoid of color at this time, and the weak rise and fall of his chest indicated that he still had a trace of life left.

Rou Yi didn't know what to do.

Lewand and Dodge gradually woke up.

Dodge wiped off all the gorilla hair from his face and began to pay attention to Fatty's injuries along with Rou Yi.

The first time Dodge met Fatty, Fatty gave Dodge a dressing down in front of Dodge's subordinates.

Later, Fatty "mocked" Dodge several times, which made Dodge bear a grudge. Dodge secretly resolved at that time that if he had the opportunity later, he would definitely give Fatty a piece of his mind and settle both old and new scores together.

But now that Fatty was on the verge of death because of saving him, a trace of guilt welled up in Dodge's heart.

Rou Yi believed that Fatty had taken an elixir before, and the fact that he didn't die from the arrow this time must be due to the elixir's effect.

Rou Yi thought that perhaps the elixir could bring Fatty back to life.

At this time, Rou Yi couldn't think too much. It wouldn't do to continue like this. She asked Lewand and Dodge for help to pull out the long arrow stuck in Fatty's chest.

Although Lewand and Dodge were not doctors, they knew some knowledge of wilderness first aid. If they rashly pulled out the long arrow from Fatty's chest, Fatty would inevitably die from excessive blood loss.

Lewand and Dodge didn't agree with Rou Yi's approach.

But Rou Yi insisted: "Look, this arrow has already pierced Fatty's lungs. Even if you don't pull it out, he won't live long. If you pull it out, he might be saved if you're lucky."

"How to save him..." Dodge couldn't help but ask.

"You don't have to worry about that. Hurry up, get your hands on it, help!"

Rou Yi's words were like orders, directing the two of them to act.

Dodge and Lewand straightened Fatty's body. Rou Yi cut off the section of the arrow tail behind Fatty, and pulled hard in the direction of the arrowhead, successfully pulling the arrow out of Fatty's body.

Fatty coughed out a large mouthful of black blood with a "woo" sound. A huge blood hole in his chest was gushing blood. Rou Yi took out the hemostatic powder given by the tribe and applied it to Fatty's wound, and then simply bandaged the wound. The rest could only depend on Fatty's fate.

The light outside the cave gradually disappeared, and cold wind kept pouring in. Dodge and Lewand picked up a few dry branches from the edge of the cave and started a fire.

The fire flickered, reflecting the shadows of the four people on the cave wall, looking extremely tired.

Rou Yi saw that Fatty's wound was no longer bleeding and his breathing was gradually returning to normal, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Rou Yi suddenly asked Dodge: "How did you end up with a group of gorillas?"

Dodge looked helpless: "Don't mention it... After I separated from you, I was swept to that place. When I woke up, I didn't know where I got a face full of gorilla hair. When the gorillas saw me, they thought I was their child and took me with them."

Rou Yi found it funny when she heard that Dodge had encountered such a bizarre experience.

Lewand was happy for Dodge. He told Dodge: "Fortunately, they didn't find out that you were an outsider, otherwise, you wouldn't have seen us."

Dodge nodded to Lewand, feeling a little scared in his heart.

He thought to himself that if Fatty hadn't taken action in time, once he was exposed, he would have died even more miserably.
