"Sir, you are here."
Taiyi, who was squatting beside the bed, quickly stood up and saluted Zhong Wen respectfully.
"Qiqi she, she..."
Zhong Wen stepped forward slowly, wanting to ask a question, but his mouth was dry and his tongue was extremely difficult to speak. Even his voice unknowingly became as hoarse as a drake, "Dead?"
He stared closely at Taiyi's face, his heart seemed to be being burned by a burning fire, and he was suffering extremely, and he only longed to hear a negative answer from the other person's mouth.
However, Taiyi looked ashamed and opened his mouth, but not a single word came out.
Such a performance undoubtedly confirmed Zhong Wen's conjecture. His face turned pale, and he was inconsolable. Tears were streaming down his face in an endless stream, and he couldn't stop at all.
died?
Qiqi is dead?
Will I lose her from now on?
Why?
Why didn't I protect her?
Twice, already twice!
It's clear that I'm here, why would I let her suffer this disaster?
Zhong Wen, you idiot!
What are you doing?
With a crisp sound of "plop", his knees weakened unconsciously and he knelt down on the ground. His right hand tremblingly touched Liu Qiqi's bloodless face. His heart felt like an ancient tomb visited by tomb robbers. It's cold, empty, sad, sad and lonely.
Not long ago, he had experienced the pain of losing Liu Qiqi. If Shi Xiaolong hadn't used up the vast energy of the Eternal Life Sword at the last moment and forcibly snatched the girl in red back from the hands of the Lord of Hell, the two would have been separated from each other. , parting between life and death.
But he never expected that in just a few days, he would lose Liu Qiqi again.
Where is Zhang Ga?
I told him to take good care of Qiqi, but what on earth is this kid doing?
What do I rely on him for?
It's all my fault, why did I leave her in Yanguang Country?
At this time, Zhong Wen was in a state of disbelief, sometimes blaming Zhang Ga for not fulfilling his responsibilities, and sometimes blaming himself for not protecting Liu Qiqi. His mind was in a mess, and he was at a loss as to what to do.
He even had the illusion that he was falling from a cliff, falling, falling, and falling. There was a cold darkness below, and the downward momentum was endless, as if it never touched the ground.
"Zhong Wen."
Just when he was about to fall into a daze, Fan Xuerou's sweet and sweet voice suddenly came to his ears, "Miss Liu is not dead yet."
Zhong Wen shuddered, raised his head suddenly, and stared closely at her pretty and beautiful face, as if he wanted to see a flower from that fragile face.
Just five words, but it made him feel like hearing the sound of nature, as if a little light suddenly appeared in front of the eyes of a person trapped in darkness.
Although the light is weak, it represents endless hope!
"Seriously?"
He tried to calm down his emotions and prevent himself from losing his judgment due to being too excited. He opened his mouth and said with difficulty, "But, she's not breathing."
"She was too seriously injured. I used several top-quality elixirs one after another, but none of them worked."
Fan Xuerou explained patiently, "So I made her take the life-sustaining grass, at the expense of falling into suspended animation, which temporarily saved her a glimmer of hope."
"Life-sustaining grass?"
Zhong Wen was stunned for a moment and couldn't help blurting out.
Even with his world-class knowledge of elixirs and alchemy, he had never heard of the existence of such a herb.
"It's no wonder you don't know that the life-sustaining grass is also known as the fake-death grass."
Fan Xuerou gently smoothed her hair with her hands and replied softly, "It is a spiritual plant unique to my dark night forest. It is not a rare thing. It can only allow people to enter a state of suspended animation for three hours. Here, During this period, the state of the person taking the medicine will always remain at the moment when he swallowed the life-sustaining grass. If it is used to save life or pretend to be dead, the effect is quite good."
"I see."
Zhong Wen stood up excitedly and looked at Fan Xuerou with gratitude in his eyes, "Thank you, Sister Fan, for saving Qiqi's life. You are a great kindness. Zhong Wen will always remember her in my heart."
It is no exaggeration to say that in his eyes, Fan Xuerou at this moment is simply a fairy who has fallen into the mortal world, the most beautiful goddess in the world.
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me."
Fan Xuerou waved her hand gently and said solemnly, "After all, there are only three hours, and waiting for you has taken a lot of time. If we can't find a way to save her within the remaining two hours, Miss Liu’s life will still be in danger.”
Zhong Wen's heart skipped a beat, his thumb and index finger formed a right angle, he gently stroked his chin, and fell into deep thought.
His first reaction was to use the power of the hell realm of the reincarnation body to force Liu Qiqi to return to her peak state.
However, after gesturing to the girl in red for a long time, he discovered to his dismay that whether it was due to a lack of understanding of the physical constitution, an incomplete constitution, or due to species differences, his hell realm seemed to only be able to act on himself, and could not act like someone else. He treated others on a large scale like a nine-headed white snake.
correct!
Enemy of Hell!
After thinking hard for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he remembered this unique magic medicine that had been exhausted.
Isn't this all the way to the Dark Night Forest just to get one of the main materials of the enemy of the King of Hell, Liufeng Huixue?
Although the current situation in the Dark Night Forest makes it impossible to supply Liufenghuixue on a large scale, according to what Fan Xuerou said before, if he just asks for one or two plants to save his life, even the withdrawn Territory Lord My lord, even if you think about it, you will not betray his face.
After all, Lituo Bin is now a super power comparable to the City in the Sky. No one with any brains would choose to offend the leader of the alliance for a magical medicine.
"Sister Fan, I have a prescription that may be able to save Qiqi's life, but..."
Zhong Wen cleared his throat and said carefully, "One of the main materials is Liufeng Huixue. I wonder if I can ask my sister for two plants. Of course, I will never take it for nothing. I will definitely reward you generously later!"
"Since it's you who has spoken, I won't be stingy if a few stray trees return to the snow."
Fan Xuerou was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look embarrassed, "It's just that all mature Liufeng Huixue is stored in the special elixir library near the top of the sacred tree, and you can't use your soul power and spiritual skills when climbing the sacred tree. The round trip will take a long time at least, and it is simply impossible to retrieve Liu Feng Hui Xue in more than two hours, let alone spend time refining elixirs."
"this……"
Zhong Wen's expression changed, and he said hurriedly, "Sister, you might as well tell me the location of the elixir warehouse. I have fast feet, so maybe I can catch up..."
"I know you are strong."
Fan Xuerou shook his head and said, "But you have also seen the height of the sacred tree. Without using spiritual skills, it is impossible to do it no matter how fast your feet are."
"Is there no other way?"
Zhong Wen gritted his teeth and said, "If you are in an emergency and want to go up to get medicine, wouldn't it take a long time?"
"Unfortunately, that's really the case."
Fan Xuerou looked slightly embarrassed and couldn't help but sigh, "Except for the Territory Lord, it does take a long time for others to go back and forth to the top of the sacred tree. However, the lifespan of the people in the Dark Night Forest is generally longer than that of the outsiders. , so the pace of life should be slower and it won’t be troublesome.”
"etc!"
Zhong Wen keenly captured the key point in her words, "Why can the Territory Lord be an exception?"
"In fact, there is another trial path inside the sacred tree, where practitioners can use energy and spiritual skills at will."
Fan Xuerou hesitated for a moment, and finally answered truthfully, "It's just that this road is full of dangers and is too dangerous. Except for the Lord of the Territory, no one can pass it smoothly. Even Xiao De..."
She didn't finish her sentence, but the meaning was self-evident.
Even the most powerful Druid among the three great generals could not pass, which shows how difficult and dangerous this trial road is.
"Sister Fan, lead the way!"
Zhong Wen didn't even blink, and said without hesitation, "Although I dare not say that I am invincible, I think my strength is still higher than Brother Xiaode, so I may not be able to challenge him."
"Zhong Wen, don't be impulsive."
Fan Xuerou's expression changed slightly, and she tried to dissuade her softly, "This trial road is different from those secret cultivation realms outside. It is by no means as simple as you think. I heard that even the Territory Lord passed through it for the first time. He was seriously injured and almost died..."
"It's okay, just lead the way."
Zhong Wen interrupted her words forcefully, glanced at Liu Qiqi's pale face on the bed, and said word by word, "For Qiqi, even if it's a hell, I have to fight through it!"
"If something unexpected happens to you inside..."
Fan Xuerou couldn't help being shocked when she heard this, but she was still a little hesitant.
"Taiyi, remember to tell Sister Shiyu and the others that this is my own decision."
Guessing the concerns in her heart, Zhong Wen suddenly turned to Taiyi and said, "After entering, no matter life or death, no one on the shore of the land is allowed to vent their anger on Sister Fan and the Dark Night Forest."
"yes."
Taiyi stared into his eyes with twinkling eyes and a complicated expression. He was silent for a long time before slowly answering.
"besides……"
Zhong Wen nodded and solemnly warned, "Take good care of Qiqi!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around gracefully, opened his legs, and strode out of the cave door.
At this moment, his back was so firm and decisive, and there was no trace of hesitation.
