Du Ming quickly strung up all the wolf meat, sat on the spot, but Qian Hongwen and Zhao Tianxue had not returned yet. He said impatiently, "What's going on? Why are these two so slow? How come they haven't returned yet?"

  "Are they going to be okay?" Yuncai asked worriedly. "There are a lot of wild beasts in the forest, what if they run into danger?"

  Du Ming furrowed his brow, "It can't be that serious, right? There shouldn't be any ferocious beasts outside the forest during the day. Besides, I didn't hear any noise."

  Du Ming's hearing was honed from years of training, and he could pick up on even the slightest sounds around him. If a fierce beast really did appear, he would definitely be able to hear it.

  But now Du Ming did not hear any unusual sounds, indicating that Qian Hongwen and Zhao Tianxue should not have encountered any danger.

  Just then, a loud cry for help suddenly came from the woods, "Save me! Is there anyone to save me?"

  Yun Cai and Bai Mei Gui were both startled, suddenly standing up, anxiously looking in the direction of the sound.

  Du Ming heard that the cry for help was Qian Hongwen's, but after listening carefully, he didn't hear any sound of fierce beasts chasing him or anything like that behind him, and there was only one person's footsteps, as if there wasn't a second person.

  Du Ming also stood up and walked a few steps to the side of the forest, at this time Qian Hongwen also ran out, indeed only he was alone, Zhao Tianxue did not follow him.

  Yun Cai asked worriedly, "Qian Hongwen? What's wrong? Where is Zhao Tianxue? He won't have been attacked by some fierce beast..."

  Yun Cai spoke and spoke until she couldn't speak anymore, stopping her words.

  Qian Hongwen ran to Du Ming's front, panting with his hands on his knees for a long time before he calmed down. When he heard Yun Cai's question, he seemed to have no reaction at first, but after reacting for a while, he finally understood, "Ah, it's not a fierce beast, it's Zhao Tianxue who was poisoned!"

  "Ah! Zhao Tianxue was poisoned? What happened to him? How could he be poisoned?"

  Qian Hongwen grabbed Du Ming, "Don't ask so many questions for now, let's go take a look first! I think he's very seriously injured! Du Ming, hurry up and save him! I feel like he's going to die soon!"

  Du Ming nodded and turned back to the tent, shouldered his backpack and walked back, "Alright, you lead the way, I'll go with you."

  Yun Cai and Bai Mei also followed behind Du Ming with worry, together following Qian Hongwen into the forest.

  A few people didn't walk far before they arrived at the place, Qian Hongwen anxiously pointed to the ground, Zhao Tianxue was lying on the ground convulsing, his face was a sickly red color, and white foam was coming out of his mouth.

  Bai Mei saw Zhao Tian Xue like this and was startled, letting out a cry of surprise.

  Du Ming walked up and reached out to take Zhao Tianxue's pulse, saying, "He really has been poisoned. What did he just do? Why was he poisoned?"

  Qian Hongwen pointed to a tree next to him, on which grew a kind of green and red fruit, about the size of a fist.

  Qian Hongwen said nervously, "Zhao Tianxue just ate such a fruit and immediately became like this."

  On the ground, Zhao Tianxue's hand was indeed holding a green and red fruit that had been bitten twice, revealing the white pulp inside. Next to it were scattered many dry twigs, apparently picked up by two people before being spilled on the ground when Zhao Tianxue was poisoned.

  "Tsk," Du Ming scolded, "I told you not to eat things randomly in the forest. You have no experience and are likely to misjudge. Why didn't you listen to me?"

  Qian Hongwen said apologetically, "We thought this was edible. When we got here, Zhao Tianxue said he was thirsty. Conveniently, there were fruits on the tree. It's our fault, but you must find a way to save him!"

  Du Ming nodded slightly, "Ah, you guys are lucky to have me around. This fruit is extremely toxic and there aren't many people who can detoxify it."

  Qian Hongwen's face showed a desperate expression, but Du Ming smiled and said, "However, I am one of the people who can detoxify."

  Du Ming stood up and walked around, lowering his head to search for something. After a while, he squatted down and pulled out some plants of different shapes from the ground.

  After about five minutes, Du Ming came back with a bunch of various plants, squatted beside Zhao Tianxue, put the herbs in the palm of one hand, and clenched the other hand into a fist to repeatedly grind them, quickly crushing them and extracting their juice.

  Du Ming pinched a handful of medicinal mud, pinched Zhao Tianxue's cheeks on both sides, stuffed the medicinal ball into Zhao Tianxue's mouth, and made the rest into a medicinal cake to apply to Zhao Tianxue's forehead.

  Du Ming then reached into his backpack and pulled out a package of acupuncture needles, taking out a silver needle and quickly inserting it into various acupoints on Zhao Tianxue's body.

  After a while, Zhao Tianxue's convulsions became more intense, and he rolled back and forth on the ground.

  Qian Hongwen was somewhat flustered, "What's going on? Won't it be too late if we don't save him? Is Zhao Tianxue in danger?"

  Du Ming didn't say anything, he just stood on one side and looked at Zhao Tian Xue.

  Zhao Tianxue suddenly stopped convulsing and started coughing violently, spitting out a mouthful of black blood. The color of the blood gradually lightened until it turned bright red.

  Du Ming stepped forward, pressed down Zhao Tianxue's body, pulled out the silver needle from his body, and retreated to one side.

  Zhao Tianxue coughed for half a day again, but now he was no longer coughing up blood. After coughing for half a day, he suddenly gasped violently and caught his breath.

  After panting and gasping for half a day, Zhao Tianxue finally calmed down, took a long breath on the ground, and slowly crawled up with his hands supporting the ground.

  "Du Ming asked, 'How are you? Do you feel alive again?'"

  Zhao Tianxue let out a deep sigh and said in a hoarse voice, "Alright, it's much better now. I thought I was going to die."

  Du Ming curled his lips and said, "Originally you were supposed to die, it was me who saved you back. If not for me, I reckon you would have been done with the King of Hell by now."

  Zhao Tianxue was both frightened and grateful, and said to Du Ming, "Really, thank you so much. If it wasn't for you, I would have been dead for sure."

  Du Ming sneered, "You don't have to thank me, just listen to me from now on. The deserted island is too dangerous, if you don't listen to me and something happens, I won't be able to save you every time."

  Qian Hongwen and Zhao Tianxue both nodded vigorously and said, "We were wrong this time, next time we will definitely not act so rashly!"

  Du Ming nodded, "Alright, let's head back first. Oh, don't forget to pick up these dry branches, they're still waiting for you guys to make a fire over there. I'm starving, hurry up!"
