Chapter 1767Joanne guessed right.Cedrick and the others had gotten into trouble indeed.They were unlucky. They met fierce animals in the mountain at first. Then there was heavy rain. They were scattered now.Luckily, they had appointed a place to join up with each other for emergencies.However, when Cedrick and Catelyn arrived at the appointed place, there was no one else. The signal of their satellite phone was intermittent. It seemed that its signal was interfered with by something, and it was out of action.Catelyn stood at the top of the mountain and looked around, but she didn’t see anyone else.“Were they eaten by fierce animals?”Cedrick frowned. Although he was worried about his men, he believed that they could protect themselves.“Keven has sufficient experience in jungles. Even if they were besieged by fierce animals, they would be able to protect themselves. Besides, they have carried guns. We didn’t hear any shots. It means that it wasn’t so dangerous for them
Chapter 1768After all, the nearby mountains and jungles were unearthly. There might be a hidden deep hole.“What should we do? Keven and the others may have been blocked by something and can’t come here immediately.”Catelyn and Cedrick had become separated from the others and hadn’t carried much food. Thus, they only had two choices now. The one was to join up with the others. The other was to find the village as soon as quickly. Otherwise, they could only go hunting or go fishing.Along the way, they hadn’t found any traces of other people. On the contrary, there were scratches from wild wolves or other fierce animals.It showed that Keven and the others hadn’t caught up with them yet.Cedrick tried to contact Keven through the satellite phone. Of course, he couldn’t get through. It seemed that the signal had been shielded artificially.Cedrick picked up a stone and threw it off the cliff. Finally, the stone fell into the bushes with a sound. Then he took out a can from his b
Chapter 1769“The antitoxic serum... Yael prepared various medicines in the medical kit for emergencies. Ceddy, hold on! I will inject the antitoxic serum for you immediately!” Catelyn knew little about vipers and thus didn’t know which medicine would be effective. She opened the medical kit and rummaged through it.She was so anxious that her mind was going blank and her limbs were shaking. Finally, she found the antitoxic serum in a small white bag!Under the light of the flashlight, she read the instructions. After she learned how to use it, she drew the antitoxic serum with a syringe and was about to inject it into Cedrick’s bloodstream.However, her hands were trembling. She wasn’t able to do it!In the end, she broke the tip of her tongue and felt the pain. Only then did she calm down and inject the antitoxic serum for Cedrick.Catelyn was worried about Cedrick and didn’t walk away. She just built fires nearby because she wasn’t available to pitch the tent. Then she support
Chapter 1770From far away, Catelyn saw a middle-aged man in sackcloth herding cows on the opposite hillside.She felt dizzy and didn’t know if it was her illusion or not.“Sir, help... help...” Catelyn had been parched. When she shouted to the man, she had a sore throat.Luckily, the man heard her shout. He stopped herding cows and looked in the direction where the sound came from.Then the man saw Catelyn falling to the ground limply.“Lady? Lady!” The man threw the reins and ran towards Catelyn anxiously....“Dana, where did your husband save the woman? She looks pretty. Look at her skin. Her skin is much more tender than the skin of our mountain people.”“The townspeople don’t need to go to do the farm work like us. After they give birth to babies, they have nannies to take care of their babies. Of course, they look young and beautiful...”“Although her skin is tender, she is weak. She fainted just because she dragged the man and walked for a short distance! Even if she’
Chapter 1771Dana and Nathan looked at each other and both thought this man must be Catelyn’s man because of her worried face. Hearing no answer, Catelyn had a blackout and couldn’t help clutching Dana’s hand."Is he dying? Madam, my friend said that you are a good doctor, please save him! I gave him an antivenom, she should be able to hold on for a while..." "Don't worry. I didn't say he was dead. He still can be saved!" Nathan stared at Catelyn's pale face and said hurriedly. "He still can be saved? Really? Then why isn't he here?" Dana explained, "That's because when my man brought you two in from the entrance of the village, he happened to meet the village head and his daughter. The poison in your man’s body is very virulent and is from one of the most ferocious snakes here. Ordinary people die in less than 15 minutes. The village head saw that he had a strong will to survive, so he took him home to treat him himself." ‘The village head's house? It should be the hidden
Chapter 1772"So what? You borrowed 100 dollars, but you have to pay interest. And I often help you guys with farm work, so I'm kind enough to only charge you 600 dollars as interest!" Donte said unreasonably, raising an eyebrow at Catelyn. "Do you still want to help them pay back the money?"Catelyn was speechless. She almost dropped the knife.Before today, it was really hard for her to imagine any villager who didn't even have a few hundred dollars.Probably this place had been isolated from the outside world for too long.Catelyn was suddenly a bit skeptical. 'Can they really cure Ceddy as written in the book Yael found?'After all, all the advanced medical methods can't kill the virus.'Forget it. Solve the current problem first.'Catelyn pulled out a stack of money from her pocket and slammed it in Donte's face. "Here is at least three thousand dollars. Take this money and get lost."Donte's eyes lit up as he saw the money. He excitedly picked up the money. "You took so
Chapter 1773If it were before, Catelyn wouldn't have thought that a few hundred dollars was a lot of money. But now she had just arrived at the village and she had no friends here. Catelyn thought she could bribe Dana and her husband by giving them that promise. If they turned out to be good people, she would surely repay their favor. At that moment, Catelyn had no other choice. Two days later, Dana and her husband led Catelyn to the village chief's house. "Miss, that's our village chief's house, but we don't dare to go there. We can only send you here." Dana said to Catelyn as she pointed to a house in the distance. According to the couple, the village had been isolated from the outside world for many years and the villagers were still following the traditions from a hundred years ago. The village chief governed all the villagers and the position of village chief was passed down from generation to generation. The chief's name was Slade Swan and he lived on the ea
Chapter 1774Seth touched his beard, and his face was dark, "Humph! She is so ungrateful, being attracted by an outsider. My grandson is better than that man. If Evelyn gives up my grandson, she will certainly regret it!" "It’s just a joke. You don’t need to be serious. All right, Jasper is hardworking and honest, and he treats Evelyn well. The village head also thinks it’s good if they get married..." Listening to the flattering words, Seth was no longer angry. At this time, a man in the crowd shouted, "Miss Swan is coming." The banquet hall fell silent, and everyone looked up at the white spiral staircase. A few seconds later, a young girl in a black dress and a matching hat slowly came down the stairs. She looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, with her hair up and the veil of her hat hanging down to hide the small part of her face. Although she looked very mature, it could not hide her arrogance. She was followed by several maids and burly men, looking like an
