Following Sang Luoluo's directions, everyone looked over and indeed saw several spots on the tree with stinging caterpillars; everyone knew how poisonous these things were.
Qi Feng immediately said calmly, "Retreat quickly!!"
He Fei asked, "Aren't we going to clean up these stinging caterpillars?"
Qi Feng looked at Sang Luoluo: "Can you handle this?"
Sang Luoluo shook her head. "It's too far away, I can't handle it, I... I'm afraid of this thing. The stings hurt too much!!"
Qi Xue, no longer caring about gathering peach blossoms, said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's quickly eliminate these fiery shrews, or we'll all suffer."
That's a good point.
Sang Luoluo had no choice but to use her Mental Power to set up the Crystal Core, aim it at the spotted stinging caterpillar, and fire.
They only stopped when they smashed the entire caterpillar to pieces, and the others joined in the attack.
"Awoooooo!!!"
"Awoooooo!!"
The Chuanchuan made a sound; unfortunately, it had been stung in the mouth by a caterpillar, and it cried out in pain.
Sang Luoluo quickly killed the nearby stinging caterpillars.
Sang Luoluo spread her senses and used her Crystal Core to kill all the stinging caterpillars she could find. The corpses fell to the ground. However, Sang Luoluo in the air, but not others. These things were too fine and really hard to detect.
Qi Feng said, "Retreat!!"
Leading the way in the originally planned direction, it took half an hour to cross the peach grove. However, the stinging caterpillars hadn't disappeared; they were still everywhere on the tree trunks, while other mutated animals were fewer in number.
"No way, so many!! This is killing me!!" Lei Qi yelled.
The dog was still Chuanchuan incessantly, its mouth swollen with a large lump. Since it couldn't use its lightning powers anymore, Sang Luoluo had no choice but to put it into her spatial storage. She prepared a basin of Spirit Spring Water for it to soak in, hoping it would alleviate the pain. She would apply some medicine later.
Qi Feng led the way, but those behind felt this wouldn't work, so they simply used lightning to electrify the surrounding air. Even if there were any stinging caterpillars, they would be charred and lose their original toxicity.
"Ah, no, my neck is so itchy and hurts!!" Lei Qi had been infected; he didn't know when he got it, but now it was acting up.
Sang Luoluo said, "This won't do. We need to avoid this thing. Lei Qi's wound needs to be treated with medicine quickly, and the longer we Chuanchuan, the more toxic this thing becomes."
Qi Feng said, "Everyone, follow me quickly through this area, and we'll rest once we find a suitable place."
The group quickened their pace and soon arrived at a place lush with water and grass. The mutated weeds here grew very tall, and the ground was wet, the soil was sticky, and it had a fishy smell. It must have been wet before, but it was now half dry.
Qi Feng said, "There aren't any more stinging peppers around, let's rest here and treat Lei Qi's wounds first."
Sang Luoluo took out the car. Now she didn't care whether there were other mutated animals around. Treating the wounds was the priority. Everyone lined up to get in the car, disinfected, and cleaned. Qi Feng's control over lightning was pretty good now, and he was already proficient. For safety's sake, before everyone took off their protective suits, he still used a small amount of lightning to run over the surface of their clothes to make sure that no stingers from the venomous caterpillars were carried in.
Once inside the carriage, Lei Qi's neck was already quite swollen.
It's bright red and looks terrifying.
He was terrified. "Boss, Boss Sang, am I really going to die like this? How did my neck get like this?"
Sang Luoluo quickly brought out the Chuanchuan, along with the bowl. The swelling in Chuanchuan's mouth had gone down, and the dog looked to be in good condition overall.
"Huh? It's done so quickly?"
Sang Luoluo was somewhat puzzled.
No, she was only distracted for a moment, how could the Chuanchuan be ready so quickly?
Lei Qi's eyes widened, and he quickly asked, " Boss Sang, what did you feed it? I want some too!!"
Sang Luoluo pointed to the basin of water, "I was worried it would hurt, so I soaked it in mineral water. I was thinking of applying medicine to it later."
"Mineral water has amazing effects, why don't you try soaking yourself in it?"
Qi Feng suggested trying a wet compress with a towel soaked in mineral water to see the effect.
Sang Luoluo brought out a bunch of bottled water for everyone to quench their thirst, and also brought out a first-aid kit.
Qi Xue applied the appropriate medication and injection to Lei Qi, then applied a wet compress.
"It still hurts!! Why isn't the medicine working?"
Qi Feng said in a low voice, "It won't be that fast. Wait a little longer, you should lean back in your chair and rest."
Sang Luoluo chimed in, "Yes, we won't go out today. We'll wait for Lei Qi to recover."
"Huh, something's not right. Why do I feel a few places on my body that are both sore and itchy?" He Fei scratched a few spots on his body and suddenly realized something was wrong.
Chapter 234 You were attacked? As expected, He Fei...
Unsurprisingly, He Fei also got stung, and his condition was more serious than Lei Qi's; he had several stings on his body, and large lumps swelled up.
Immediately afterwards, two more swellings appeared on Qi Xue's body, burning hot and painful enough to bring tears to her eyes.
Qi Feng didn't react. After he came up, he even used the electric current to clean his body. He couldn't help the others; he was afraid that he might accidentally kill someone if he didn't control the current properly.
For a while, everyone was busy applying medicine and applying wet compresses, and then they found a relatively comfortable position to rest.
After a while, Lei Qi looked at Sang Luoluo with a puzzled expression. "Hey, Boss Sang, why are you alright? We're all in this state, how come you're perfectly fine? That's strange, weren't you stung?"
Sang Luoluo felt she might be somewhat lucky, saying, "Maybe. I wasn't stung. I took good precautions."
Qi Feng hesitated for a moment, then said, "Could it be... related to your self-healing ability? I remember you bumped into something, but you're fine in a bit."
Sang Luoluo shrugged. "I don't know either. Anyway, we're fine now, and it's possible we were just lucky not to get stung. Now, let's think about how to get out of here quickly so that no one gets stung."
Qi Feng opened his palm, a current of electricity appearing within it, and whispered, "I can now control myself from being stung by the mutated stinging caterpillars. I can go out and eliminate them. However, there are other mutated animals roaming around here. I need Sang Luoluo's assistance; the two of us will clear out the stinging caterpillars in this area together."
Sang Luoluo twitched the corner of her mouth. "You want me to go too? I'm terrified of this thing."
The thought of this thing reminded Sang Luoluo of the terrible sting she had suffered before.
Qi Feng advised, "Being afraid is useless. Have you considered that your current self-healing ability really doesn't need to be afraid of this thing? It has no effect on you!"
Sang Luoluo shook her head, her face full of resistance.
Qi Feng continued to persuade him, "What if it was just a coincidence? If you really have the ability to resist those fiery worms, then our team can only rely on you."
Qi Feng continued to persuade him, "I need you and me to go out again. Let's try it again. The worst that can happen is we'll get stung again."
Lei Qi chimed in, " Boss Sang, I think the boss is right. Give it another try! Look at us, we really can't take it anymore. It's all up to you and the boss now, waaaah~"
Sang Luoluo: "..."
Gritting her teeth, Sang Luoluo decided to try again.
After eating something to replenish their energy and drinking some water, the two put on their radiation protection suits and went out again.
The sun outside was getting intense; as soon as I got out of the car, I felt the heat hitting me.
It was right at noon, almost the hottest time of the day.
Sang Luoluo didn't know how to explain it, but she felt that the temperature was extremely abnormal, accompanied by strong radiation, which even mutated animals had to avoid.
Fortunately, there are many large trees in the dense forest, which can block most of the sunlight, making it much more comfortable inside than outside.
"It got hot so fast today," Sang Luoluo remarked.
It's not even summer yet. Last summer, she could feel the suffocating heat, making her wish she could soak in ice.
Qi Feng said, "That's normal. It's like this almost every year. It seems to have started a few days earlier this year."
"In advance?"
Qi Feng nodded. "Although the cold weather was short this year, it was still lower than last year. After the extreme cold comes extreme heat, accompanied by strong radiation. Everyone has gotten through this before. It's normal to feel a little unaccustomed to good times right now."
Sang Luoluo lowered her eyes and stuck out her tongue. She had forgotten that this place was not like three hundred years ago, where the four seasons were distinct. Spring here didn't even feel like spring.
Sang Luoluo was walking forward when she heard Qi Feng say, "The activity of the stinging caterpillars has also decreased. Look over there, they're lying there motionless."
Sang Luoluo stared wide-eyed in horror, then turned her head and saw a brightly colored caterpillar crawling on a nearby tree branch.
I held my breath, almost falling backward in shock.
"No way! They're obviously very active!" Sang Luoluo said fearfully.
There's this thing that I have an inexplicable unease about.
Seeing that she was truly frightened, Qi Feng comforted her, " Sang Luoluo, try to kill it!"
Sang Luoluo glanced at him and saw that he didn't seem to be joking; he genuinely encouraged her to kill the mutated foreign scorpion.
With a determined heart, Sang Luoluo used her Mental Power to simultaneously fire ten Crystal Core.
Bang bang bang
The caterpillars were pounded into a sieve, and bright green liquid flowed down the branches, some splashing onto the area around them.
