There was no air in the gas mask, which meant that they had to inhale the miasma. After this cry, similar cries could be heard one after the other. Everything went wrong.
The atmosphere suddenly became extremely oppressive, as if the god of death was about to descend.
"What should we do? There's no end to the miasma. "Someone shouted in panic.
Lu Ming could not do anything. He stared blankly at the crowd. Even the experienced Qi Shaowen was helpless. They did not expect the miasma to be so boundless.
Moreover, after losing their way, they were like headless flies. It was very likely that they would go around in circles, let alone get out of this area.
Tang Zheng felt the breath of the two people he was supporting getting weaker and weaker. His heart sank. The miasma he had encountered before did not have such a large radiation area. He had really miscalculated this time.
Although he did not want these people to discover the Witch Tribe's tribe, he could not watch these people die. So he quickly put the two people he was supporting on the ground.
When the others saw this, they all stopped. Lu Ming, who was anxious, was furious. He roared, "Tang Zheng, why did you stop? Do you want to get everyone killed? "
"They're dying," Tang Zheng said calmly.
Lu Ming's body stiffened. He gritted his teeth and said, "No, delta 4, leave them here. We have to get out of here. Hurry up, don't delay."
After saying that, he turned around and rushed forward.
Everyone looked at him in disbelief. They did not expect him to abandon his teammates. They looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
"I'm going to stay and save them," Tang Zheng said firmly.
Everyone was moved. However, in their opinion, there was no saving them after inhaling so much miasma. Many people had lost their lives like this before.
"Tang Zheng, are you sure?" Qi Shaowen asked anxiously.
"Let's give it a try."
Tang Zheng's uncertain tone made the others even more anxious. Someone shouted, "Let's get out of here quickly. Saving our lives is more important. We can't care so much."
In an instant, most of the people in the team left. The few people who stayed behind were those who were close to the two wounded people, and those who were also running out of air.
The soldiers who were supposed to protect the archeological team obeyed Lu Ming's orders and were forced to move forward. These few people were isolated.
At this moment, everyone was no longer thinking about archeology, but about saving their lives. Some people even started crying.
Qi Shaowen did not leave. He looked at Tang Zheng, who was squatting down to treat his team members. His heart was filled with mixed feelings. He thought to himself, I shouldn't have brought him along. I didn't expect this mission to be so dangerous.
"Professor Qi, what should we do?" asked the others. Without a doubt, Qi Shaowen was the backbone of this isolated army.
Qi Shaowen pursed his lips. His lips were dry, but he couldn't say anything.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, a scream rang out, scaring the group of people to the point that their faces turned deathly white as they scattered in all directions. "What happened?"
The two team members who had been unconscious woke up, but they were completely exposed to the miasma. Their eyes were wide open, and they were gasping for breath.
At this moment, the miasma they breathed in did not seem to affect them at all. It was as if they were breathing normal air.
What was going on?
A big question mark appeared in everyone's minds. They stared at the two men in disbelief. How did they come back from the dead?
"We're not dead! That's great! " The two men cheered loudly. Then, they turned to look at Tang Zheng. The two men hadn't completely lost consciousness after inhaling the miasma. They knew that Tang Zheng had been helping them the entire time, and that Tang Zheng had saved them at the very last moment.
The two were so moved that tears rolled in their eyes as they simultaneously bowed towards Tang Zheng and gratefully said: "Tang Zheng, thank you for saving us. We won't say too many words of gratitude. In the future, if there is anything we can do for you, we will do our best to help you."
Hearing this, everyone turned to look at Tang Zheng in unison. Qi Shaowen cut to the chase and asked, "Tang Zheng, how did you cure them?"
Tang Zheng produced a porcelain bottle. "I have detoxification pills here."
"Ah, why do you have detoxification pills?"
This detoxification pill was a secret recipe of the Sorcerer Tribe. Of course, he had it. However, he couldn't tell anyone about it. So, he said, "I have a friend who is quite skilled in medicine. He gave this to me before. He said that it can cure some poisons. I fed it to them in a moment of desperation. I didn't expect it to work."
Everyone cheered. They wanted to jump up and down. This was really a silver lining. With this pill, the miasma was no longer a threat.
"How many detoxification pills do you have?" Qi Shaowen asked in surprise.
"About ten." Tang Zheng said. He didn't prepare many in the first place. However, there were only ten people left, so it was enough.
Everyone thought that those who ran away just now probably didn't expect that they would get the detoxification pills. This was really fate. A single thought had led to such a big change.
However, no one blamed Tang Zheng for not taking it out earlier. He didn't know that it could cure the miasma. Besides, if he had taken it out earlier, it wouldn't have been enough for forty people. Now, it had benefited everyone.
Everyone looked at Tang Zheng with a different gaze, and they all revealed looks of gratitude. After taking off their gas masks and taking the detoxification pills, everyone felt as if they had been reborn.
"Let's go catch up with the rest of the group. There are still a few detoxification pills left. We can save a few more people," Qi Shaowen said eagerly.
However, they couldn't see far in the miasma. Those people had left for a while and they were nowhere to be found.
After searching for a long time, they still couldn't find any trace of them. They couldn't help but feel helpless. Moreover, the miasma was boundless and there was no direction to follow. The key was how to get out of this area.
Everyone looked at Tang Zheng subconsciously. Obviously, after the detoxification pills, Tang Zheng's status in their hearts had risen.
"Tang Zheng, which direction do you think we should go?" Qi Shaowen asked. He had pointed in the wrong direction just now, so he put his hope on Tang Zheng.
Before Tang Zheng could answer, Xiao Bai jumped down from Tang Zheng's shoulder. It pointed in a direction with its paw and squeaked.
Tang Zheng's heart skipped a beat. Xiao Bai was the Holy Beast of the Sorcerer Tribe. It had many miraculous abilities. Maybe it could really lead everyone out of this area.
"Let's follow Xiao Bai," Tang Zheng said.
Everyone looked at Xiao Bai in surprise. Seeing that everyone was looking at it, Xiao Bai raised its little head proudly.
"It can lead us out of here?" Some people couldn't believe it. Xiao Bai was just a puppy in everyone's eyes. Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "It wasn't affected by the miasma at all."
That's right. Everyone only paid attention to people and ignored this little guy. The miasma didn't affect it at all.
Everyone murmured in their hearts. They looked at Xiao Bai in disbelief. They couldn't help but believe it a little.
Moreover, they had no choice but to give it a try. Xiao Bai led the way and everyone moved forward quickly. After a while, they came to the edge of a swamp. Looking at the swamp that swallowed people, everyone looked at each other in confusion.
There was no way out!
Xiao Bai pointed at the opposite side of the swamp and gestured. Tang Zheng understood it and said, "We'll be safe after we cross the swamp."
Everyone suddenly realized that the swamp was the way out. They had passed by the swamp just now, but no one had suggested crossing it.
"The inflatable boat isn't with us. They took it away." A loud shout made everyone's mood drop.
The archeological team had expected to cross the swamp, but most of the supplies were carried by the soldiers. The inflatable boat was one of them. However, the soldiers were taken away by Lu Ming. They couldn't swim across the swamp, could they? That would be suicide.
"How are we going to cross without the inflatable boat?" Someone looked desperate. They didn't expect to fall into a hopeless situation again when there was hope for survival.
"I have an idea. Everyone, please wait for a moment." Tang Zheng took a machete from someone and immediately found a small tree to chop.
With just a few slashes, a small tree was cut down. Soon, dozens of small trees were lying on the ground.
"You're going to make a raft?" Qi Shaowen asked in surprise when he saw the clue.
"Yes, we can cross with a raft."
The archeological team members were all very capable. With the hope of survival, they immediately worked together. Not long after, a sturdy wooden raft was built.
"Let's go." Tang Zheng said loudly.
"Wait." Qi Shaowen paused, found a piece of paper, and wrote something on it. He then pasted it on a tree trunk. "They're our teammates after all. Although we can't find them for now, if they find this place and discover the clues we left behind, they'll be able to make a raft and leave this area."
Qi Shaowen was a kind person. Although he was abandoned by those people, he still didn't give up on them.
Tang Zheng pushed the raft. The raft carried everyone and quickly moved to the other side of the swamp. The swamp was very vast. They couldn't see the end of it. It was like a small sea.
Tang Zheng's martial arts were profound. Even though he was holding the boat by himself, he was still like an arrow leaving a bow. After an unknown period of time, the miasma gradually dissipated. Immediately, cheers thundered: "We are finally out, we are saved."
Qi Shaowen heaved a sigh of relief. He patted Tang Zheng's shoulder and said, "Tang Zheng, it's all thanks to you that we're able to escape from death. Thank you!"
Tang Zheng flashed a bright smile. "We're all team members. This is what I should do."
Qi Shaowen nodded in relief. He had made the right choice in taking in such a disciple. It was a wise decision to bring him along this time.
The raft reached the shore. Everyone quickly went ashore and breathed in the fresh air again. It was wonderful. Everyone's faces were full of smiles.
"Tang Zheng, how do we go now?" Someone asked. Before they knew it, Tang Zheng had become the backbone of this team.
Qi Shaowen looked at Tang Zheng curiously. He was obviously asking for his opinion.
Bang!
Suddenly, there was a loud bang. One of the team members fell to the ground.
