If it weren't for Qi Zhen's strong mental power and the fact that he could sense that he was indeed getting stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye, he would really think that he had reached the limit of strengthening, or that the side effects were finally coming.
Of course, if it was this level of pain, it was hard to say whether Qi Zhen would continue to drink the magic liquid, or even judge it as poison from the beginning. .
Painting the skin of a tiger is harder than painting the bones. Qi Zhen now has a deeper understanding of this sentence.
Strengthening bones is really difficult!
In his perception, bones strengthen far more slowly than skin and muscles.
It's so slow that it's like a turtle crawling!
On the one hand, this is because strengthening the bones is indeed not simple. More importantly, the pain will infinitely delay the flow of time. Every second is a kind of torture for him.
If you don’t believe me, try browsing Douyin for half an hour and running for half an hour. They are two different concepts.
The effects of the two bottles of magic liquid wore off one after another. Qi Zhen could only fall to the ground and tremble slightly like a dog because her nerves were affected. She was suffering from such unparalleled pain, but could not even move her fingers on her own initiative. She was sweating like For free, he wetted the dry ground. You can imagine how much pain he felt.
The severe pain activated the emergency mechanism in his brain, making him feel a little groggy, but it was obviously because the medicine was not effective enough, or because his endurance was too strong, so he did not faint for a while.
It's better to pass out.
Qi Zhen thought so, the pain in his body began to subside, and his body could finally move.
After waiting for nearly half an hour, Qi Zhen sat up from the ground with lingering fear, and then looked at the few small bottles left in front of her with some embarrassment.
There were about a dozen vials containing the magic liquid left, and Qi Zhen wasn't sure whether she should continue.
Qi Zhen thought that when he first decided to drink, he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet. Who would have thought that now is the time when he really needs to grit his teeth and stamp his feet.
If he had to go through such a process to upgrade and add attribute points, he would never want to play this game again.
There was a whole wall of magic liquid, so Qi Zhen drank only this much. If you don't drink, you would be sorry for yourself. Drink it. Rather than suffer this punishment, it would be better to feel sorry for yourself.
Qi Zhen is still a very rational person most of the time, but she is still an emotional BOY in a small part of the time.
So his rational side made him decide to continue to strengthen his body, while the other part of his impulsive personality made him choose to drink all the magic liquid at once.
You just have to bite your teeth once. It’s quite annoying to have to mentally build yourself up every time.
Qi Zhen looked at the vials scattered on the ground and found a comfortable position to lie down. She would have to pour them out later anyway.
There were no accidents, and there wasn't even any deviation in the effect of the magic liquid.
These demonic liquids still followed their supposed functions and began to strengthen Qi Zhen's bones.
The pain naturally came as expected, but this time, Qi Zhen fainted.
Before Qi Zhen fainted from pain, she felt a little happy.
It's good if you faint. If you faint, you won't know the pain.
The emotional side didn't seem to give Qi Zhen a hint that she might die suddenly on the spot if she played like this.
…
Normal people should never have the opportunity to observe wildfires at close range in their lives.
Li Qiang and Meng Ran were fortunate enough to witness the power of this natural disaster.
Meng Ran finally saw how fast the forest fire spread. It was faster than normal people walking and slower than running.
The spread of wildfires is not linear, but spreads in patches.
It had been about a quarter of an hour since the explosion of the detonating symbols. The first thing the two of them saw was thick black smoke that could not be melted away, and then came the raging flames that could not be enveloped by the black smoke. This was comparable to Jiang Yan's flame storm. The power seems to be much greater.
Most of the trees here are towering, often more than ten meters or even dozens of meters high, so the height of the flames also increases with the height of the combustibles, which looks very scary.
Smoke and fire are visual intuitive feelings. In addition to the crackling of burning trees, the sound of trees collapsing, and the sound of blazing flames, there are other sounds.
Those are the sounds made by the animals living here. The sounds of birds, monkeys and many other unknown animals resound in the forest. Without exception, they are anxious and frightened.
A flock of birds rose into the sky and fled in all directions.
I believe there are many animals in the woods that are panicking, but Li Qiang and his two men were flying in the air with their swords and could not see the scene below for a while.
After Qi Zhen left, the two of them did not choose to put out the fire where they were because it was too difficult for both Li Qiang and Meng Ran to do it.
Of course, they didn't really go down and pick up the flying swords or even the space magic weapons of several Shushan disciples as they had just thought. Like Qi Zhen, they had some natural resistance to picking up corpses.
The reason for this or that proposal is that after Qi Zhen's analysis before leaving, the two of them really felt that they were a little idle now. Apart from watching the wildfires and waiting for their fellow disciples or colleagues to come here, they seemed to have nothing to do. Things that can be done.
When you find Wu Tian, you can't trust anyone but him. Please buy more things to save your life. Wait three days. Don't go anywhere until Qi Zhen comes back. Don't complete any tasks alone.
Meng Ran thinks this is good.
I just don’t know if Li Qiang thinks so.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Li Qiang to talk to Meng Ran on his own.
It also allowed Meng Ran to once again see the captain's maturity and stability in dealing with problems.
"No matter what you think in your heart, when you and your teammates have reached an agreement on something, you cannot change the strategy privately for your own reasons during the implementation process. This is not only a feedback and explanation of the trust of your teammates, but also In order to practice the consistency of team actions. If we really change the previously discussed action plan because of something, on the one hand we may not necessarily be able to cope with the consequences of this choice, on the other hand it will be difficult for us If Qi Zhen can quickly respond to us after what happens next, then the team's actions will become independent, which is definitely not a good choice."
"So don't worry, I will not go against the results of the discussion with Qi Zhen and make my own decisions, mainly because I have suffered such a loss before."
Li Qiang explained to Meng Ran with a smile.
Meng Ran always felt that this captain, who looked extremely decent but behaved extremely low-key, always seemed to be able to see through his own thoughts.
These words made Meng Ran feel at ease a lot, and at the same time, she greatly admired the tacit understanding between Qi Zhen and Li Qiang.
It was just the second game we had just played together. Two people could actually work together so closely. Who could believe it?
And in this process, Li Qiang obviously needs to make greater cooperation and concessions. No matter how unreasonable Qi Zhen's ideas are, Li Qiang needs to be able to quickly get Qi Zhen's ideas and make corresponding cooperation and supplements. This kind of battle Tacit understanding is not something that can be achieved just by talking about it.
After all, the team is not an army, nor is it an ancient imperial court. After all, everyone has their own ideas and choices.
The two of them were bored here watching the wildfires, but there was actually a more important thing they were doing.
That is to wait for Meng Ran's body to recover.
Meng Ran had never suffered such a serious injury, either in her previous life or in this life. Apart from relying on her own strength to recover and the injuries she suffered, there seemed to be no way to speed up the process.
Good thing she's a healer.
Therefore, physical recovery is much faster than mental recovery.
For Meng Ran, the fastest way to recover is undoubtedly to find a king-size bed room in a five-star hotel and have a good sleep.
The kind that can sleep until the sky is dark.
However, today's conditions obviously do not support this luxurious rest method.
In order to accurately see if anyone was coming to investigate below, the two of them couldn't find a nook and corner to hide and let her rest unscrupulously.
But this did not prevent Meng Ran from finding a way to sleep.
As we all know, the sword Wu Tian gave Li Qiang was very wide. It was so wide that Meng Ran struggled to lie down but had no problem sitting down.
She sat down on Feijian and said, Captain, keep an eye on me for now, I couldn't hold on any longer and had to take a nap. Then she leaned against Li Qiang's legs and fell asleep like that.
Li Qiang saw how courageous this little girl was, so he didn't dare to neglect her.
If he turns over and falls, he cannot bear the responsibility.
But the safest place here is not the vast jungle that has not been burned by wildfires, but the cliff where the explosion occurred.
Li Qiang thought for a moment, then calmly took Meng Ran to the cliff full of rocks.
There was still a burnt smell all around, and the rocks still exuded residual heat that had not faded away. The temperature was much higher than the temperature in the sky.
Li Qiang was not even given a chance to persuade, which proved that when Meng Ran closed his eyes this time, it was more like being in a coma than sleeping.
The members of the team are all different in terms of attributes, physical condition, and occupation. In addition to the imbalance in strength, once everyone is injured, everyone's recovery time and degree of injury are different.
Li Qiang estimated that if Qi Zhen were here instead, she would be running around alive.
Meng Ran was very weak, so weak that all his teammates did not regard Meng Ran as an effective combat force at the beginning of the battle, but rather the team's weak point to protect.
This is determined by his team responsibilities, but this does not mean that Meng Ran thinks so.
In fact, Meng Ran has always been very strong, even stronger than Jiang Yan, Yu Liang and even Qi Zhen.
Others don't understand this, but Li Qiang understands it very well.
After all, both of them have worn epaulettes. This kind of mentality is actually difficult for others to understand.
Therefore, Li Qiang actually loved Meng Ran very much, but he never showed it.
