Dust was everywhere in the cave, rocks were like flies, and the original beautiful scenery was gone. The woman flapped her wings as hard as she could and tried to fly into the air, but the boy on her tail stuck to her body like candy, and she couldn't get rid of it no matter what.
"Get out of the way." Shui Congyue shouted, leaping high with a euphorbia in hand, heading straight for Wu Gen. Wu Gen took advantage of the situation and jumped away. His halberd was like an arrow and was firmly driven into the snake's tail, pinning it to the ground.
The woman couldn't bear the pain and screamed miserably, her voice echoing back and forth in the empty cave. Wu Gen's expression changed. If guards were summoned, how would they get the treasure?
Liu You's figure appeared in the air, and his broad sword whizzed towards the woman's head. Seeing that the situation was not good and her tail was restrained, the woman had no choice but to lower her head and dodge. The long snake body was like a kite string, swinging towards the side of the cave.
Another ax flew towards the head and collided with the woman's head. The woman couldn't help but hesitate for a moment. Wu Gen, who had seen the opportunity, suddenly accelerated his body. In the blink of an eye, he was near the woman's head. The cold light of the broken knife flashed and cut into the snake's body seven inches.
The snake's body is extremely tough, and even a broken knife cannot kill it with one blow. Just as he was about to draw his sword and strike again, Liu You arrived and stabbed the woman's head with his sword. At the same time, the Dark Ink Sword activated, and a wisp of negative energy was injected into it.
With a plop, the woman fell to the ground with her head and body, her body kept twitching, and after a while she finally stopped moving. Wu Gen wiped the snake blood on his hand and pulled out the broken knife. Only then did he realize that there was no intact part of his body.
"Quickly, get the seven-star grass and chalcedony." The fight just now might alarm the orcs outside the cave. Wu Gen quickly called a few people, took out the skin bag he had prepared in advance, and came to the bottom of the two-color stone veins.
Under the gourd-like Xuan Ning Jade, nine seven-star grass trees less than a foot tall grow in two pits. The grass has seven leaves, and light flashes from time to time between the veins of the leaves.
Carefully inserting the broken knife into the shallow pit on the left, Wu Gen dug up the seven-star grass one by one and put it aside. Liu You walked to the pit on the right and carefully took away the Seven Spirit Grass in the pit.
Wu Gen submerged the skin bag into the shallow pit, and the purple chalcedony gurgled into it. By the time the skin bag was filled, more than half of the chalcedony in the pit was already missing. With so few, Wu Gen couldn't help but frown, wondering how many people could be saved. In order to get more chalcedony this time, Wu Gen prepared ten skin bags. There are definitely not a few among the garrison soldiers who have suffered from adverse energy. If you add a drop more, you can save a few more lives.
Carefully scooping the remaining chalcedony from the pit into the skin bag, Wu Gen couldn't help but shake his head secretly as he looked at the two empty shallow pits.
Looking up and seeing the two-color stone veins, Zheng Gen's heart moved. He pointed to the direction of the gourd mouth of the stone veins and said, "Cong Yue, use your halberd to break open this stone."
Shui Congyue reached out and pulled out the euphorbia stuck in the snake's tail. Without asking why, the euphorbia hit the gourd's mouth hard. Sparks flew everywhere, and pieces of stone fragments fell. Shui Congyue's magical power was unable to break the stone veins at once, which showed how strong Xuan Ning Jade was.
After looking at the situation in Huluzui, Shui Congyue half-squinted his eyes and groaned. The euphorbia hit the stone veins again. The sound was like thunder, oscillating back and forth in the claustrophobic cave. The shock made people's ears hurt.
Listening to the thunderous knocking sound, Liu You glanced in the direction of the cave entrance worriedly, "Will such a loud noise attract the orcs?"
Wu Gen gritted his teeth, hesitating for a moment, and then resolutely said, "I don't care about so much anymore. It's not easy to come here. If you can get more chalcedony, you can save more lives. If the orcs come, you and I will Go to the entrance of the cave to resist, leaving only Baoxiang here to get the chalcedony. Take as many drops as you can."
Baoxiang immediately objected, "No, you stay here to get the chalcedony, and I'll go to the cave entrance to block it."
Wu Gen's eyes widened, "If you are stronger, you can break open more stone veins. This matter is more important than fighting. Remember, you cannot let go of the broken stones and take them with you."
Baoxiang had never seen Wu Gen like this, so he didn't dare to argue anymore, and just muttered a few words to himself.
"If you leave now, it's still too late. These chalcedony and seven-star grass are enough, so why be greedy and put yourself in danger." Liu You couldn't help but be a little anxious. In such a quiet night, even though he was in a cave, he was still throwing stones. The sound will still spread out, maybe the orcs have come to inquire at this time.
At this moment, Shui Congyue suddenly turned around
, the euphorbia in his hand shot out, just in time to hit the snake-body woman who was trying to fly away secretly. He also jumped out and landed on the woman's neck. After a series of heavy punches, the woman's head was smashed into the stone, leaving only her body exposed and waving around.
This woman couldn't even kill her because of her adverse energy. It must be because she ate chalcedony. As soon as he thought of this, Wu Gen's heart moved. He held a broken knife and slashed at the belly of the snake more than a dozen times. Finally, he made an incision and took out the snake's gallbladder, which was as big as an egg.
"What are you doing?" Baoxiang walked over curiously.
Wu Gen looked excited, "Since this snake is not afraid of adverse qi, it is impossible to say that snake gallbladder can also be used to treat the poison of adverse qi." As he spoke, he carefully stuffed the snake gallbladder into the skin bag. If the snake's body wasn't too big, Wu Gen was ready to chop the long snake into pieces and take it away together.
Suddenly, Qi He hurried into the cave, "Wu Gen, two orcs came to inspect the situation in the cave, but they were killed by Feng'er and I. It seems that more orcs will be here soon."
For a moment, everyone looked at Wu Gen. Indeed, if they didn't leave now, they might be blocked in the cave.
Taking a deep breath, Wu Gen looked at the stone veins that had been cracked, and saluted the people in the cave, "Everyone, I promised a group of people that one day I would find a cure for the inverse disease for them. The antidote to the poison of Qi. Today is a God-given opportunity, and I occasionally get chalcedony, but if I can get more, more lives will be saved.
On weekdays, I don’t want people to do risky things. But today, thousands of lives are involved, so let Wu Gen be selfish and help me get more chalcedony. After a while, I will go to the entrance of the cave to resist the enemy. If there is an emergency, but can survive, you can go to Xingluo Yuanhuang Mausoleum to find Mu Ji and Yu Shou, and give the chalcedony and Seven Star Grass to them. Wu Gen would like to thank all brothers here. "
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm just taking a piece of chalcedony. I'm so miserable." Baoxiang was angrily. He picked up an ax and was about to smash the stone veins. He took two steps but turned back. If you continue to talk nonsense like this, I will not recognize you as my brother. I will die. Who is afraid? Silly bird, you are sick." After cursing, he walked towards the stone vein and hit it hard with his axe.
Shui Congyue also glared at Wu Gen fiercely, then stepped forward with a big halberd, "Get out of the way." He yelled and threw it at him. After the loud noise, a piece of the stone-veined gourd's mouth was knocked off, and some chalcedony flowed out. Baoxiang quickly caught it with his leather bag.
Wu Gen was scolded, and seeing that he was not needed here, he had no choice but to walk towards the entrance of the cave. Qi He and Liu You looked at each other and followed.
On the way, Wu Gen was embarrassed to say, "Qi He, just now, aren't you a little too arrogant?"
Qi He rolled his eyes at Wu Gen and said, "You are only allowed to save people with righteousness, but we are not allowed to be angry and shameless. You are indeed sick."
Wu Gen turned to look at Liu You again, "Old Liu, you have already taken so much, you can actually leave, there is no need to accompany us to take risks."
Liu You said seriously: "Wu Gen, I have gained a lot of benefits by accompanying you here to seize the chalcedony and the Seven-Star Grass. In this case, according to your human race, all I have to do is risk your life to accompany the gentleman."
Wu Gen laughed loudly, "Okay, then today our two clans will fight against each other together. Don't worry, Baoxiang will help you contain the chalcedony that leaks out."
The three of them hurried to the entrance of the cave, where Feng'er was throwing the body of an orc into the cave. Seeing Wu Gen approaching, he said hurriedly, "This is the fourth orc that has been killed. There will definitely be more orcs here, so we can retreat."
Wu Gen glanced at Qi He, who walked up to Feng'er, grabbed her hands, and said with gentle eyes, "How about we leave later? Take a risk with me, save some people, and pay off some debts." Feng'er. Er looked at Qi He with some surprise, then turned to glance at Wu Gen. He was a very thoughtful person and immediately understood what Qi He meant.
If he is willing to fight again, he may die on the spot. It is indeed a risk. Save some people, I don’t know who they are, who cares. To repay some debts, of course, it was to Wu Gen. He had murdered someone, and Qi He was repaying his debt.
"Okay, we'll be where you say we are." Feng'er smiled lightly at Yan Yan, her beautiful eyes were looking forward to it, but there was a hint of shyness in her eyes.
Wu Gen couldn't help but trembled, coughed, and stood outside. This incident happened because of him, and others didn't need to be so desperate. In this case, do the hard work first. To die,
Then let yourself die first. Today, let me be wild for a while.
In front of the cave is a small platform that can only accommodate about twenty people. On the mountain road, the sound of messy footsteps came, and there were dots of torches in the distance, like a long snake. The orcs had sensed something was wrong here and were rushing to support them.
Wu Gen stood in front of the cave, holding the handle of the knife with both hands. The mountain wind blew by, and his black hair flew like a hunting flag, hitting his face from time to time. I silently glanced at the chess-like stars, and for a moment, I suddenly felt a little ridiculous. At some point, I had become a generous person for justice. Could it be that he was in an illusion at this time and his mind was confused by others.
Are you afraid of death? Of course you are. You are still young, you still have a lot of time to waste, there is a beautiful girl waiting in the distance, and you still have the dream of being the leader of the village. For a moment, Wu Gen felt extremely distressed.
To be honest, the garrison doesn't have much to do with them. There are so many kings and so many sects. This should be something they consider. When will it be their turn to consider it as a person from a bandit village.
But just leaving like this is always a bit unwilling, always a bit difficult to reconcile. Those ancestors who died in the deserted mausoleum, how did they ever get anything? They had things during their lifetimes and no names after their death, but there are always people who have to do things, there are always people who have to die for others, there are always people who have to be silently annihilated. Dusty.
There are some people who always think that the garrison is to fight with foreigners. This is their duty and this is their destiny. To put it bluntly, life and death are the most important thing. Who doesn't want to live more comfortably, who doesn't want to live more stable, and who can decide that a person will be born to fight with foreign races.
The little charity given to the garrison does not require people to fight with their lives? It is just the selfish and cruel thoughts of a group of extremely selfish people.
Thousands of thoughts are chaotic, like countless flying hairs. Suddenly, Wu Gen chuckled, thinking about it over and over again, thinking so much about what to do, just do it.
The rustling sound on the mountain road became louder, and two orcs with human heads and tiger bodies came out, carrying torches in their hands.
In front of the cave on the opposite side, there stood a young man who was a little thin and had a big belly. He was holding a strange-shaped broken knife in his hand. There was a ghostly smile on his face, and his white teeth shone like stars in the sky.
"You bold thief, how dare you step into our clan's holy land." An orc shouted loudly. This is Cyanwood Mountain. If the clan members knew that someone was sneaking up here, they would have to chop off their own heads.
With a roar, the orc ran towards the young man, the cold light of his claws piercing people.
The young man suddenly fell down and disappeared. When he reappeared, his body was already at the edge of the platform. Behind him, the tall orc's belly had been broken open, and pieces of his belly fell to the ground.
On the platform, the young man held a knife in his right hand, the tip of the knife pointing diagonally towards the ground, and blood was constantly dripping from it.
