After packing up their fruits, Eileen and Elaine continued on their journey.
Eileen, up ahead, was going at a pretty fast pace.
The temperature in the forest was quite high.
Elaine had no choice but to pick up her pace.
All of a sudden, Elaine felt a sharp pain in her calf!
"Ah!" she let out a shriek.
Eileen turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Elaine bent down to search through the thick bushes, "Something bit me."
Eileen walked back and saw blood on Elaine's calf. She frowned and said, "Sit down somewhere."
They found a rock to sit on. Eileen squatted down and rolled up Elaine's trouser leg. Two black bite marks were bleeding.
The sight of the black bite marks made Elaine's face turn pale, "Is it poisonous?"
Eileen placed Elaine's leg on her knee and exerted pressure on the wound.
Eileen was quite strong so Elaine grimaced in pain!
"It's a venomous snake," Eileen said seriously. Her expression was stern.
She used all her strength. Even though Elaine's skin was bruised from the pressure, she didn’t stop until the blood that came out was red. She then breathed and said, "Wait here."
After saying that, she put Elaine's leg down and looked around.
Elaine looked at her own leg and bit her lip. Her eyes were a bit red.
After all, she was still a young girl, and she was a bit scared.
Eileen picked some grass, crushed it, wrapped it in a big leaf, then grabbed Elaine's leg and slapped it down!
"Ah!"
"Bear with it." Eileen said calmly, "You're a soldier. You should have endurance."
Elaine took a deep breath and asked softly, "What is this?"
"It can reduce inflammation and detoxify." Eileen took out a rope from her backpack, cut a piece off with a rock, and then tied up Elaine's leg.
After tying a bow, she stood up, dusted off her hands, and said, "Your life is not in danger, but you need immediate treatment. How can we contact the outside?"
"No! I won't quit!" Elaine said excitedly.
Eileen ignored her, looked up at the drone in the sky, and waved at it.
The drone flew down.
After taking a close look at Elaine's wound, a voice from the drone's speaker immediately asked, "Elaine, do you choose to temporarily quit the adventure?"
"I don't."
"Temporarily?" Eileen, like a mafia boss, covered Elaine's mouth with one hand and asked the drone, "How do you define 'temporarily'?"
The speaker answered, "In the team, any member who encounters danger can choose to quit the adventure actively or passively. If another team member finds a revival card, the member who quit can be revived."
"There's also a revival card." Eileen muttered, "This game has many rules."
"That's right." The speaker answered, "The prize money is calculated based on the total team members. For example, in the first place, one person gets a hundred thousand dollars. But if only one member remains in a two-person team, the prize money will be halved, only fifty thousand dollars."
Eileen was silent. She patted Elaine's shoulder and said seriously, "Don't worry, I'll find a way to bring you back as soon as possible! You go and get treated now. As soon as I find a way, I'll save you!"
