Chapter 8, The Mountain Village Boy and the American Girl

Nourished by a functional beverage rich in various nutrients, and with the effect of adrenaline, the robust Harryk astonishingly regained his senses in a short period of time

but quietly returned to the entrance of Luowocun along the mountains where farmland had been converted back to forest, treading on the stone path back to their ancestral home

Thank you, dear mountain venomous insect

You have also received wilderness training

Uncertain about the restlessness of adolescence, troubled and with much of his magical energy depleted, Zhang Lisheng ultimately chose not to venture deeper into the dense forest to hunt for targets suitable for refining witch insects

He stumbled and crawled frantically onto the highway, Harik nervously cheered for a moment, then began to calm down, hurriedly dialing the satellite phone strapped to his belt with trembling fingers

Upon seeing her boyfriend wake up, the blonde woman Tina's expression changed dramatically. She delivered a sharp slap and shouted arrogantly: "It's all your fault, you idiot, for insisting on coming to the primitive jungles of Huaguo for an adventure. You claimed to have rich experience in jungle exploration and promised me an unforgettable journey, which is why I secretly came to this cursed place against my family's wishes.

You, sir, what would you do if you were injured in the forest

Oh God, you are still a little boy!

It can be said that although they did not encounter any further dangers, the journey between the dense forest pond and the rural road of his county was exceptionally arduous for the two of them

Call me Tina

Harrek, wake up, Harrek...

Zhang Lisheng was somewhat bewildered by the inexplicable loss of his first kiss. His body numbly followed the thoughts he had just had, and he wandered aimlessly into the forest, disappearing among the countless trees.

I can see that you are a formidable hunter The blonde woman showed no signs of doubt, nodded, took several deep breaths of the damp, decaying air in the dense forest, and, steeling herself, administered an antidote and adrenaline chest injection to her boyfriend using the method taught by the doctor during her wilderness training

Tina explained in a rare and peculiar tone: "Shut up, Harrek, how could I have ever thought that you, this coward, were a man."

As one of the best hunters in western Sichuan, I have never been injured in the dense forest. The woman's question left Zhang Lisheng, who had recklessly ventured into the deep mountains and forests, at a loss for words, and in the end, he could only respond coldly with bravado.

Here is a piece of advice: you should always carry a satellite phone with you. It is best to call for help immediately after leaving the forested area

Alright, very good, just do it according to your own thoughts. The first aid supplies you brought are very advanced and should be able to save him

"You are right, Tina," said Harik, who ultimately accepted his girlfriend's explanation and thanked Zhang Lisheng, saying, "Hey buddy, thank you so much for saving our lives.

Expensive and advanced emergency medications often imply rapid effectiveness. Just thirty seconds after a successful injection, 'Dirt Pile Man' Harik let out a faint moan from his mouth

What the hell, using a centipede as a hunting dog?

Water, water...

"Think whatever you want, I am leaving now, goodbye." Zhang Lisheng did not wish to linger any longer and turned to run back into the dense forest

The blonde woman rummaged through the scattered items on the ground and handed a water bottle to the man by the dirt mound.

Here is some water, take your time drinking it

This time, Tina was not deceived by Zhang Lisheng. A playful smile appeared on her face as she said, "No, you are lying, Mr. Poisonous Insect of the Mountains. All men in the world are the same; you are just a little boy"

What a result, it has been less than a day since I got off the plane, and I almost lost my life, if it weren't for...

Seeing the green and red prowling in the dense forest, Harik, who was following behind Zhang Lisheng with his girlfriend, exclaimed in surprise: "What is that, damn it, is that big bug a mutated centipede? It, it looks like it's set its sights on us!"

They had only just met in the morning, yet by evening they were sleeping together. Such occurrences, which the elderly in the mountain village would consider worthy of a bamboo clap, had been witnessed many times. However, when it happened to him, a mere kiss on the lips made him feel restless and uneasy

Zhang Lisheng flaunted the knowledge he had inadvertently gleaned from the mouths of travelers, causing the two reckless tourists from across the distant ocean, who had just felt a sense of relief, to suddenly feel an overwhelming heaviness. They felt as if their bodies had been bitten and torn open by a wild beast, leaving them numb as if poisoned.

The response to Harry was a resounding slap in the face

Damn it, let's go, we are setting off immediately

Tina, with the unique enthusiasm of a New York city girl towards heroes, unexpectedly embraced him fiercely and gave Zhang Lisheng a passionate kiss goodbye, saying, "You are a little boy, but you are also a noble knight who saves people in times of danger. Everything you have done for me, I will remember for a lifetime.

In recent years, with the increasing fervor for tourism development in Qixian County, coupled with its abundant tourism resources, both domestic and international travelers have flocked here. The enthusiasm between individuals of the opposite sex, especially among unmarried individuals, is something he has long been accustomed to.

There is no need for this, Mr. Harik. After leaving here, what you need is professional medical treatment and a long period of rest. The effects of Lin Bao's attack cannot be cured with just a few doses of antidote and adrenaline.

On one side, while cautiously on guard, Zhang Lisheng, as if personally present at the filming site of an American soap opera, listened as the ill-fated couple finally reached a consensus. He said, "Stay behind me," and began to chant incantations, summoning the spirit insects to move, proceeding slowly forward

Since there are Indians in Las Vegas who use flutes to entice snakes to dance, there must be hunters in the deep mountains of China training centipedes for hunting. This is indeed a mysterious region of a magical country

Once I leave this dreadful place, I must treat you to a drink and express my heartfelt gratitude to you

"But I feel much better now, buddy," said Harik, his face somewhat stiff as he listened to Zhang Lisheng's serious words

"Tina, you are alright, that is truly wonderful," he said in surprise after opening his eyes, finally focusing on the blonde woman in front of him.

Forget about the backpack, you fool. Right now, staying alive is the priority. If you don't leave this cursed place quickly, once the adrenaline wears off, you will truly die here

By the way, Mr. Hunter, I haven't asked yet, what is your name?

Zhang Lisheng said expressionlessly, "No, in the Miao region of Huaguo, we hunters have our own special 'health preservation methods' that can delay aging.

Harry, did you hear what Mr. Poison said? You must get up immediately and leave with us, otherwise you will be left here to feed the leopards

Harry was taken aback for a moment, then immediately abandoned everything, nodding anxiously as he said: "You are right, dear Tina, we must leave here at once"

The surrounding environment of the dark, damp, and eerie forest, which was utterly unfriendly, along with the constant sound of rustling in their ears, added to their pressure, causing them to remain silent and speak little.

The mountains, the vermin (Deep Mountain Venomous Insect), my name is Deep Mountain Venomous Insect. Zhang Lisheng, who carried the witch insect, instinctively did not want to reveal his real name, so he stated the English translation of his nickname. He then said seriously: "We must leave immediately, Miss..."

When Tina turned to Zhang Lisheng to inquire about his name, her demeanor suddenly became very gentle and amiable

That is merely a centipede, raised by the master of poisonous insects in the deep mountains, equivalent to a hunting dog, used for hunting

Tina, I am very sorry for everything that has happened, but I did not want it to be this way. This forest, this forest is completely different from the biological environment of the Amazon rainforest, and I am quite confused.

Be quiet, you boastful fool; one day you will meet your end at the hands of a bull.

Upon opening the first aid kit, a wave of cool air surged forth; this box surprisingly comes with a built-in refrigeration function

The first aid kit is intricately organized into several layers, with the innermost layer containing several broad-spectrum antidotes, rapid hemostatic agents, and adrenaline mixed with a small amount of neurostimulants, all housed in silver transparent glass vials

Fortunately, even the most arduous journey has an end. After more than an hour of difficult trekking, a blinding light finally appeared before Zhang Lisheng, Tina, and Harik.

After wandering aimlessly for a while in the safe area of reforestation in the dense forest, Zhang Lisheng gradually became more alert

Alright, you are safe now. I must continue my forest hunting. Goodbye, Miss Tina

Listening to you, Mr. Bug, you are the expert

At this moment, Tina was shocked by the age of the slender Huaguo hunter who had saved her, appearing to weigh even less than his actual weight

He was bitten by a leopard, and there are claw marks on his body. Based on previous wilderness training, he should receive an injection of an antidote and adrenaline, correct?" After locating the medication, the blonde woman took a moment to calm herself and asked uncertainly.

That was the stimulant that deceived you; although Lin Bao's teeth and claws are not as venomous as those of a snake, no one knows what kind of terrifying bacteria they might carry

"Okay, Tina, the most dangerous area in the dense forest is next to the pond. Moreover, you have been attacked by a leopard, and you must receive professional medical treatment immediately, so we should leave at once"

I mean, I mean... the sustained effect of adrenaline allowed Harrek to regain some of his strength. He struggled to get up from the forest floor, packing his scattered backpack while explaining with a mournful expression.
