Holding the wooden stick, Su Yuan looked at the "corpse" not far from her, wanting to scream but immediately felt a churning in her heart when she thought of the wound on her calf.

"Ye Hao, I feel so uncomfortable!" When a person's fear reaches a certain level, it can trigger various physiological reactions, and in severe cases, it can be accompanied by nausea and vomiting.

Su Yuan didn't know if she was in this situation, but a wave of dizziness seemed to have drained her strength. She clutched the wooden stick in her hand and had no time to think about anything else.

"Hold on, I'll take you down the mountain right away!!"

Ye Hao took a deep breath and quickened his pace with Su Yuan on his back. He had joked about Su Yuan's weight before, but now he was somewhat relieved that she wasn't a heavy "object" of a hundred pounds or so; otherwise, it would have been a problem to get her down the mountain.

"Su Yuan, don't be nervous, being nervous will accelerate blood flow! What you need to do now is stay calm and try to slow down your breathing! Listen to me, call Xiao Wei and the others now, tell them to come down the mountain road immediately, we need to get you to the hospital right away!"

Su Yuan nodded, took a few deep breaths, and then tried to suppress her emotions, making them as calm as possible. After feeling that she had handled her emotions, she took out her phone and called Yang Xiaowei, then called her mother, Su Caiwei, to tell her what had happened.

When she finished the call, her phone ran out of power and shut down.

"How did Su Yuan say?" Looking at Yang Xiaowei after he finished the call, Mo Ying asked anxiously.

"She was bitten by a snake!" Yang Xiaowei's face was grim, and his mood was extremely bad.

"Bitten by a snake?" Mo Ying couldn't help but exclaim in shock. In the wilderness, she was actually bitten by a snake, what could they do now!

At this moment, Gao Jun and Xia Linfei also returned. Upon learning that Su Yuan had been bitten by a snake, they immediately showed signs of tension.

"What should we do now?" The group gathered together to discuss a plan.

Yang Xiaowei's face darkened, and he said to everyone, "We need to take Su Yuan down the mountain immediately. Fatso, go put out the campfire, and leave the tent. We need to get down the mountain right away!"

Gao Jun nodded and quickly ran over to douse the campfire with water.

Then the group rushed down the mountain road as fast as they could. In the distance, they saw Ye Hao slowly walking with Su Yuan on his back. Mo Ying took a step forward and asked anxiously, "Ye Hao, what's wrong with her?" She then saw the snake in Su Yuan's hand and took a step back, her face changing.

"Ye Hao, we need to move faster. We've thrown away everything else and are only carrying one backpack with a few bottles of water!" Gao Jun patted the backpack on his back and said solemnly.

Ye Hao nodded. In such a critical moment, they needed to discard anything they could to move faster and not waste time.

Seeing the sweat on his forehead, Yang Xiaowei said, "You've been carrying her for a long time, you must be tired. Give her to me, we'll take turns carrying her!"

Ye Hao nodded and handed Su Yuan to Yang Xiaowei without hesitation.

"Su Yuan, how are you feeling?" Xia Linfei approached Su Yuan, then remembered something and took a bottle from her pocket, taking out a pill, "Take this quickly, it has detoxifying properties!"

"What is this?"

Everyone looked at her in surprise, amazed that she had brought medicine with her.

Xia Linfei smiled, "This is a traditional Chinese medicine. I brought it with me to prevent insect bites. Although I don't know if it will work on this... mountain pit viper, it should help to suppress the toxicity to some extent!"

Gao Jun gave her a thumbs up. The medicine Xia Linfei brought was a stroke of genius, giving them a bit more time. In fact, what was supposed to be a pleasant camping trip had turned into this, which was already depressing enough. Now, all they could hope for was that Su Yuan would be safe.

The group almost jogged down the mountain road.

After Yang Xiaowei, Gao Jun took over carrying Su Yuan, and then it was back to Ye Hao. They had already walked a long distance by the time they switched.

"Linfei, is this the path we came up?" Mo Ying and Xia Linfei were at the front of the group, looking for the way back. Mo Ying pointed to the marks they had left and turned to ask.

Xia Linfei observed for a moment and nodded, "Yes, this is it!"

The road ahead was much more rugged. Ye Hao, carrying Su Yuan, found it increasingly difficult to walk.

It had been almost an hour since the bite, and Su Yuan's body was gradually getting hotter, and her consciousness was becoming fuzzy. "Su Yuan, how are you feeling?" Feeling the person on his back breathing heavily, Ye Hao asked worriedly.

Her body rose and fell, and a wave of drowsiness washed over her. Su Yuan lay on Ye Hao's back and said faintly, "I feel a bit cold..." Her body shivered and pressed closer to Ye Hao's back. Although her body was hot, she felt very cold.

"Cold?"

Ye Hao was taken aback and quickly said to Yang Xiaowei and Gao Jun, "Clothes, quickly put some clothes on her!!"

"Okay!" Gao Jun reacted and quickly covered Su Yuan with the jacket he had taken off, which Xia Linfei was holding.

The narrow and winding mountain path was only wide enough for one person, and the branches on both sides made it even more difficult to walk. Experienced hikers knew that descending was much harder than ascending due to the distribution of leg muscles, especially when carrying someone, the downward momentum was hard to control.

A misstep could easily result in a fall.

Sure enough, at a sharp turn, Ye Hao's foot slipped, and he fell into a low shrub with Su Yuan on his back.

"Are you okay?!" Gao Jun and Yang Xiaowei, who were following behind, were startled and quickly ran up.

Spitting out the dirt in his mouth, Ye Hao shook his head, "She's fine!" In the moment of the fall, he had used his body to protect Su Yuan, so she had only been jolted and was not seriously injured.

Feeling a burning pain in his leg, Ye Hao took a breath and said helplessly to the two, "My leg is scratched, you'll have to carry Su Yuan!"

"Don't worry, leave it to us." Gao Jun and Yang Xiaowei exchanged a glance.

Emerging from the small forest, they saw several off-road motorcycles parked on the narrow road in the distance. As they got closer, they saw that the leader was Su Caiwei.

"How is Xiao Yuan?" Su Caiwei anxiously came forward.

"Aunt Su, I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of her..."

Su Caiwei gently shook her head, lifted Su Yuan's pant leg to look at the wound, and saw that the skin around the snake bite was already slightly black, and the blood had stopped flowing, forming a dark scab.

"We must get her to the hospital immediately!"

Su Caiwei finished speaking, got on the motorcycle, and said to Ye Hao, "Help Xiao Yuan get on, I'll take her to the car."

Ye Hao nodded and, without saying more, helped Su Yuan onto the back of Su Caiwei's motorcycle, "Aunt Su, here are the keys to my Phaeton..."

"Thank you!" Su Caiwei looked at Ye Hao deeply and then said to Su Yuan, "Xiao Yuan, hold on to Mom, we're leaving."

Although Su Yuan's consciousness was already somewhat fuzzy, she instinctively held onto Su Caiwei. The motorcycle started and sped to the parking area.

Switching to Ye Hao's Volkswagen Phaeton, they rushed to the Haizhou Disease Control Center as fast as they could.
