The rapid river instantly drowned the two of them, a bone-piercing chill surged over, like a knife piercing into their flesh. Yi Xin struggled with all her might, but her body was involuntarily swept forward by the current. She was like a piece of withered leaf in the water, constantly bumping into the hard rocks at the bottom of the river, and at the same time she could not breathe.
She became more and more panicked, only feeling that everything in front of her was pitch black, there was only endless terrifying torrents in front of her, as if the next moment she could fall into a bottomless dark abyss. She could not help but cry out loudly, but before she could cry out, the moment she opened her mouth, the cold river water poured into her mouth, immediately suppressing all sounds.
She choked on a large mouthful of water, violently coughing, at the same time her body was even more panicked, like a stiff rolling log in the water, rampaging about.
But at this time, an arm stretched out from the side, hugging her body from behind.
Yi Xin was like a drowning person grabbing onto the last straw, her entire body leaned over, at the same time as she violently coughed, her hands tightly grabbing onto that arm.
"Don't move." A low voice sounded in her ear, another body leaned over in the water, hugging her, letting her head out of the water so she could breathe, while floating down with the current.
Yi Xin greedily took in large mouthfuls of air, and then gradually became clear-headed and calmed down. She no longer moved casually and just nestled in the arms of the strange man. In this mournful and austere night, in this desolate and uninhabited wilderness, she drifted along with the flow.
For a moment, she seemed to have thought of something. She turned around and looked at the direction she came from. In the depths of the darkness, at the foot of the hill, she could vaguely see a group of ferocious figures squeezing on the riverbank, letting out angry and violent roars.
…
The current was very fast, but Lu Chen's swimming skills seemed to be quite good, even with a burden like Yi Xin, he was still able to swim with ease in the river.
At the same time, the rapid current carried the two of them away from the hillside, all the way down, disappearing into the distance in this deep night. But looking at that direction, they were drifting further and further away from the path they came from, all the way into an even darker mountain range.
After an unknown period of time, the river gradually calmed down, at the same time the surface of the water widened. The wild cries of those black jackals were long gone, only the darkness between the heavens and the earth remained the same.
Yi Xin felt Lu Chen start to paddle with his arms, bringing her upstream. At this moment, at this moment, after several consecutive shocks and back and forth from the gates of hell, she felt extremely exhausted, but there was still a string in her mind that was tightly wound. As long as the night did not subside, as long as she was still in this terrifying wilderness of the Land of Confusion, she would feel a kind of fear from the bottom of her heart, and did not dare to sleep.
After a while, Lu Chen and brought Yi Xin to the side of the river, and they walked.
"Splash!" There was a clear sound, that was the sound of water splashing down from their bodies. The two of them were already completely drenched. Lu Chen did not seem to feel anything, but when Yi Xin stood on the riverbank and was blown by the night wind, she immediately felt a bone-chilling cold, and could not help but shiver a few times.
Lu Chen glanced at her, walked to Yi Xin's side, and said, "Can you still hold on?"
Yi Xin forced a smile, and said, "I'm fine."
After saying this, she suddenly realized that because her clothes were completely drenched, they were tightly clinging to her body, revealing all the exquisite curves of her body, making her look especially alluring.
Yi Xin felt her face suddenly heat up, and she subconsciously let out an "Ah!", and reached out to cover her body. Who knew that as soon as she raised her hand, an indescribably intense pain suddenly came from her left arm. Yi Xin only felt her vision go black, and she staggered, almost falling to the ground, and her mouth also let out a painful groan.
Lu Chen supported her, a little surprised, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yi Xin was in so much pain that even her voice sounded a little shaky, and she said with a trembling voice, "My hand, my left hand …"
Lu Chen looked over, and reached out to support her arm for a moment, and then immediately frowned, and said, "It's broken."
Yi Xin bit her lip, lightly gasping for breath. In her mind, the scene of her escape just now replayed in her mind, but she found that she could not remember where exactly it was that broke her arm. Perhaps it was because she was too nervous and excited, or because she had suffered too many injuries on the way, so she did not immediately notice that her arm was broken.
Lu Chen looked around, and after a moment of silence, said, "Sit down first, and rest for a while."
Yi Xin used her right hand to support her left arm, found a stone on the river bank, and sat down, while Lu Chen walked to a place a little further away, where there were a few trees. He fiddled there for a while, and after a moment, came back with a branch about two fingers wide.
At the moment, he was holding a black dagger in his hand, and it looked quite sharp. Yi Xin watched him cut off all the branches and leaves, leaving only a round wooden trunk, and then he gestured to her arm.
"Do you have medicine on you?" Lu Chen asked Yi Xin.
Yi Xin shook her head, and said in a low voice, "I only have some medicine to stop bleeding, and no medicine to set bones."
Lu Chen nodded, and didn't say anything else. He tore off a few pieces of cloth from his clothes, and then straightened Yi Xin's arm, so that the broken bones were in place, and tied her arm to the tree trunk.
"Let's do this for now. When the sun rises, we'll look around to see if there are any suitable herbs for you to apply." Lu Chen said calmly.
In the process of tying her arm, it was naturally unavoidable to touch the broken bones, and Yi Xin suffered a lot. But at least she knew that Lu Chen was doing this for her own good, and so she endured the pain, but her eyes were already filled with tears, and her face was incomparably pale.
When Lu Chen was finally done, Yi Xin let out a long sigh of relief, and then timidly said, "Thank you very much, Brother Lu."
Lu Chen looked at her, and said, "It's very dangerous here in the Disorienting Lands at night, and we can't easily light a fire. Otherwise, it'll easily attract troublesome and powerful Demonic Beasts. We can only wait like this until the sun rises. Can you still hold on? "
Yi Xin gritted her teeth. Although she felt a sharp pain in her arm, and waves of cold constantly invaded her skin, she still nodded and said, "I can."
Lu Chen grunted, and walked to a spot a few feet away from Yi Xin, and directly lay down on the ground, saying, "Then let's rest, and wait for the sun to rise."
Yi Xin sat there in a daze for a while. Although she was extremely tired, she didn't know why, but she didn't feel the slightest bit sleepy. Looking at the deep night sky between the mountains, and the dark river not far away, she suddenly felt like crying.
It was at this moment that Lu Chen's voice suddenly sounded from beside her, "That's right, where are your two companions? How are they?"
