"It hurts..." Chu Zhongan slowly regained consciousness, and the unbearable pain all over his body almost made him faint again.
He opened his eyes with difficulty, and a piece of green appeared in front of him.
"Bamboo forest? Where is this?" Chu Zhongan tried hard to recall what happened before. At that time, his grandfather Gu Changting controlled his body and escaped from Beidou City, but was caught up by an old man in white robes. Gu Changting's remaining soul was The old man took him away when he met him. This former saint seemed to have no resistance in front of the old man.
Chu Zhongan then lost consciousness after falling from the air. He had no idea how much time had passed and where he was now.
Chu Zhongan thought about it, but found that he could only move one arm. He temporarily lost control of other parts and could only feel pain.
His internal energy cultivation is also vague. I don't know whether it is because of the load generated by Gu Changting's control of his body to activate the holy power, or the damage he received from falling from a high altitude that day. His Dantian Qihai is almost half-impaired.
Chu Zhongan felt extremely bitter in his heart. Taozi was not rescued, and the elders of the sect were also in bad luck. His heart went cold when he thought of the terrifying methods of the old man in white robes. Now that he was in such a situation again, it was unknown whether he could survive.
"No matter what, I have to live. Only by living can I have hope. Taozi is still waiting for me to save her!" Chu Zhongan shouted in his heart.
As the body's consciousness fully recovered, a pain that surpassed the pain in the whole body came. It was the feeling of thirst. He didn't know how long he had been unconscious. He had never been so thirsty for water as he was now.
But now he can do nothing but hope for the rain. It is still the rainy season and there is no chance of rain.
However, he watched helplessly as day and night alternated, and nothing appeared above him.
The pain in Chu Zhongan's body seemed to have gotten a lot heavier, his already weak breathing began to quicken, and his consciousness began to become blurred.
In a daze, he seemed to see Bai Ruoxi forcefully drag Taozi away from him, and then saw the old man in white robe suddenly appear and strip out the remaining soul of his grandfather from his body.
Angry but helpless, he felt his life force passing away rapidly, and his eyes slowly couldn't be opened.
"I really want to sleep, let's do this..." In a daze, Chu Zhongan gradually gave up on Lin Kang.
"Shitou, wake up, aren't we going back to Yong'an City together?" Chu Boping's concerned voice sounded.
"Brother, I'm sorry..." Chu Zhongan felt bitter.
"Feng, come and save me!" Taozi's hesitant cry for help reached Chu Zhongan's ears.
"Taozi, I don't want to die either, I..." Chu Zhongan lamented in his heart, guilt and regret filling his heart.
"Xifeng, what are you pretending to be? Wake up!" That was Huang Xin's voice.
…
Familiar voices kept ringing. Those were very important people in Chu Zhongan's heart.
"Stone, forget it, come to mother's place..."
"Chu Zhongan, you are the heir of my King Jin'an. Now that the great revenge has not been avenged and Jin'an has not recovered, how can you die?"
Two more voices, a man's and a woman's, came to Chu Zhongan's ears. The man was his father, Chu Youjian, and the woman's voice was both familiar and unfamiliar. The familiar feeling made him immediately think of that person whom he had no memory of. The most important woman in his life.
"Queen Mother..." Chu Zhongan seemed to feel a soft hand holding him and about to take him away.
His other hand was held down by a strong hand, preventing him from moving.
"Father, just let me find you..." Chu Zhongan begged in his heart.
"I really want to sleep..." Regardless of his parents' pull, his consciousness slowly fell into darkness.
"Is this the virtue of Chu Mingyun's descendants? Such weakness is not worthy of Mu Yao!" The mocking voice of an old man was particularly harsh.
Chu Zhongan, who was about to faint, suddenly thought of something.
"Uncle Taishi! Pearl!" Chu Zhongan relied on his will to forcefully open his eyes, and all those illusions and auditory hallucinations dissipated instantly.
Chu Zhongan now only had one arm that could barely move, and he struggled to control that hand to reach into his arms.
"It's still there!" He put the delicate aqua bead to his mouth with some excitement, pouring his little inner strength into the bead.
The beads shone with a faint aqua light, and then drops of clear water flowed down from the beads.
Chu Zhongan's eyes were filled with joy, and he began to greedily suck the hard-won water.
After a while, the internal energy in Chu Zhongan's body was exhausted, and he recovered from the weak state of dehydration.
"Bless me, I didn't expect that this inconspicuous gift given to me by my great uncle actually saved my life." Chu Zhongan sighed inwardly.
"Hey, can the headmaster, Taishi's uncle, Huang Xin and others survive?" Finally there was no danger of dying of thirst, and Chu Zhongan started to worry about those elders again.
The water problem was solved, but another huge problem faced Chu Zhongan, and that was food! Now he couldn't move, and couldn't find food by himself. When he first attacked Yuancheng, he had too many things to take, and he didn't prepare dry food. But one thing happened after another, and he forgot to eat.
Chu Zhongan had been awake all night, but he didn't meet any passers-by. It was clear that the area was deserted and he couldn't even ask for help.
He still has the flame tube of the Seven Kills Battalion on his body, but in the current situation, he does not dare to launch it with great fanfare. If what comes is not a fellow sect but an enemy, in his current state, he will be fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered. .
He had no choice but to wait. With his physical strength, even if he was seriously injured, he could resist hunger more than ordinary people. He decided to use the flame tube to fight for the glimmer of life when there was really no other way.
For one or two days, Chu Zhongan had been mobilizing the internal strength and energy of blood in his body to repair the injury, but the effect was minimal. Except for his movable arm, he could only move his fingers and toes.
Still no one passed by, but there were no wild animals. Chu Zhongan lay like this for two days, his hunger getting stronger and stronger, and a haze fell on his heart.
"I finally have water, am I going to starve to death in this bamboo forest?" Chu Zhongan thought to himself while drinking water from the beads.
Suddenly a black shadow passed in front of his eyes, and the beads in his hand disappeared...
"What...who is that person?" Chu Zhongan was shocked and said in an extremely weak voice.
No one answered. He felt something moving above his head, and a beast's humming sound reached his ears.
"It's not a human, it's a beast!" Chu Zhongan thought to himself. He now had no power to fight back. He was worried about the beast's attack and the beast taking away his pearls and treasures. Either of these two things was enough to kill him. killed him.
The beast had no intention of attacking him at all, and the sound of beads hitting could be heard from time to time above Chu Zhongan's head.
He guessed that this curious beast was studying the beads, but the beads required the infusion of internal energy to condense water. Even spiritual beasts could not cultivate internal energy. It was obviously impossible for this beast to study the reason.
Every time the beast made a movement on the bead, Chu Zhongan's heart twitched, and he said silently in his heart: "Ancestor, please go and don't break the bead, or you will die!"
As if it sensed Chu Zhongan's thoughts, the beast really stopped hitting the beads. Just when Chu Zhongan was rejoicing, a big face appeared in front of his eyes, and then the owner of the big face thrust the bead towards Chu Zhongan. Ann's lips.
"This is this?" Chu Zhongan was confused. This was indeed a beast, but the appearance of the beast was quite strange. It looked like a bear but looked very different from a bear. Although there was a difference, Chu Zhongan said I immediately recognized that this was a panda.
Most pandas were born in the southern part of Yuzhou. They have sharp and strong teeth but like to eat bamboo. Some people have seen pandas eating raw iron, so this kind of honest-looking animal was also called an iron-eating beast in ancient times.
The appearance of the bamboo forest and the panda convinced Chu Zhongan that he was already at the border of Yuzhou at this time. Fortunately, he had not used a flame tube to ask for help before, otherwise he would have been skinned and cramped if he fell into the enemy's lair.
This panda is very different from ordinary pandas in appearance. Its fur is black and white, its ears, limbs, and tail are all black. There is a circle of black fur around its eyes, which looks a bit funny.
The panda cub in front of me is not black and white. The parts of its body that should have been black are red. At first glance, it looks like its fur is on fire.
There was no time to be shocked by how different the panda was. Chu Zhongan watched the panda cub stuff the beads into his mouth. He immediately opened his mouth to cooperate and swallowed the beads in one gulp.
The red panda showed a very humane expression of anger, and quickly squeezed Chu Zhongan's mouth with its furry bear paws. Chu Zhongan tried his best to prevent the beads from coming out, and the bear's face turned red from suppressing it. The panda tried his best. But there was no way to get the beads out of Chu Zhongan's mouth.
The panda had no choice but to retreat angrily, its face full of disappointment.
Chu Zhongan was not willing to let him leave. He treated a dead horse like a living horse. He shouted with all his strength: "Guy, I am seriously injured and will starve to death soon. Can you help me!"
But the panda didn't stop and disappeared into the bamboo forest in a flash.
Chu Zhongan's heart felt cold, and he seemed to have seen the miserable scene of himself being starved to death.
After the panda left, he immediately spit out the beads from his mouth and stuffed them into his arms with his remaining hand to prevent the panda cub from coming back and snatching away the beads.
As time passed by, Chu Zhongan's hunger became more and more unbearable. He knew that he would inevitably die if he continued like this, but he had nothing to do.
Just when Chu Zhongan was melancholy, the strange beast-like face appeared in front of him again. The guy seemed very happy and put something to Chu Zhongan's mouth.
Chu Zhongan only hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth and taking the thing into his stomach. It was a very juicy red fruit that exploded as soon as he bit it. The plump flesh melted in his mouth, and a warm current flowed down his esophagus into his stomach. inside.
"Good stuff!" Chu Zhongan was overjoyed. He felt that after eating the mysterious fruit, his recovery speed accelerated a lot. As long as he ate more, he would soon be able to regain his mobility, and food and water would no longer be a problem. .
