Chapter 24 Injured

Chapter 24 Injured

With a crying voice, Yang Mei ran towards the two of them.

The golden torrential rain formed by the python scales lasted for less than two breaths before disappearing. There were countless cracked or intact scales scattered around, many of which were deeply pierced into the cliff, showing its great power.

"Don't worry, it's fine."

Zhou Shu's voice was very tired. Upon closer inspection, he and Yan Yue beside him were covered by a thick layer of golden armor, like a sculpture.

It's just that there are many traces of scale penetration on the golden armor, and the blood can't stop flowing out.

During the golden rainstorm, at the most critical moment, he reacted extremely quickly and took out two golden armor talismans, saving their lives.

Yan Yue seemed to have just come to her senses, feeling very annoyed, she quickly apologized to Zhou Shu, "I'm sorry, I was so surprised that I forgot."

Zhou Shu stared at her, his face seemed to be made of cast iron, and said sternly, "I told you several times on the way here, you must not hesitate, and you must listen to me if you want to complete the task. Didn't you all agree? A monster like the golden ring viper python must have desperate moves before it dies, are you still standing there waiting to die?"

"I'm really sorry, I didn't expect..."

Being reprimanded by Zhou Shu, Yan Yue didn't even think to defend herself, her voice was quite different from usual, like a gnat.

She did make a mistake this time, Zhou Shu and she almost died because of her.

She did promise well before, but when her life was at stake, it was hard for her to trust Zhou Shu when she thought of Zhou Shu's age and cultivation.

"never mind."

Zhou Shu didn't say much, he waved his hands casually, and lay down on the ground with a crooked body.

Using two golden armor talismans and maintaining the golden armor, he has exhausted his spiritual power and can no longer hold on.

The golden armor gradually faded, and the scene was a bit horrible, almost all the clothes were torn off, revealing a body covered in cuts and bruises, dripping with blood.

Although his Golden Armor Talisman was of middle grade, he couldn't completely defend against Jin Huan Kui Mang's desperate fight. However, the existence of the golden armor also offset most of the penetrating power of the python scales, and when it hit the body, it lost a lot of strength. Although the injury was serious, it was not fatal.

Yan Yue glanced at Zhou Shu, didn't speak, didn't care about the spirit fruit and the giant python, and knelt down to help him heal.

Compared with Zhou Shu, her condition is much better, with only a few shallow wounds. As a seventh-level disciple of the Qi Refining Realm, the protective shield method was almost born at will, and the scales did not cause too much damage to her.

After feeding Zhou Shushu two pills, she took out the wound medicine and applied it carefully.

Yan Yue, who was always heroic, now appeared very gentle.

The jade hand slid across his body gently, accompanied by waves of warm spring breeze, Zhou Shu gradually began to recover from his injuries.

Zhou Shu was injured and weak and couldn't move, so he just smiled slightly to express his gratitude.

Looking at Yan Yue, his mood was a bit complicated. Yan Yue performed very well before, but those two hesitations—failure to attack Jin Huan Kui Mang's weakness in time, and did not dodge quickly, almost caused a complete loss.

He won't blame them too much, their relationship has not yet reached the point where they can speak freely, maybe after this mission, there will be no more intersections.

Seeing that the two of them were fine, Yang Mei quickly laughed through her tears. While helping to deal with the injury, Yang Mei asked curiously, "Brother, what is a chrysanthemum?"

Zhou Shu was taken aback for a moment. In a moment of impatience, he said the words of later generations, but forgot that this world doesn't understand these words at all.

"According to the saying here, it should be called 'Gu Dao', right?"

After thinking for a while, he slowly explained.

Yan Yue's pretty face blushed when she heard the sound, and the hand that was applying the medicine also stopped in the air.

But Yang Mei opened her eyes wide, more curious, "Gu Dao?"

"Well, that's the biggest weakness of the Golden Ring Kui Python. It's like the cover of some warriors. It will die when it breaks. It is usually covered with golden scales and is tightly protected, but when it is shrunk into a ball by lightning, it will be exposed. A little flaw can be pierced."

This is what Zhou Shu saw from a hand-copied classic, the author is a senior of Wuwangmen. Several partners of that senior died from Jinhuan Kui Mang, only he accidentally found the weakness of Jin Huan Kui Mang, and escaped by luck.

Yang Mei nodded half-understanding, and continued to ask tirelessly, "Oh, Senior Brother Zhou, but what exactly is Gu Dao?"

Yan Yue frowned, and lightly patted Yang Mei on the head, "Don't ask, I'll tell you when I get back."

"oh."

Seeing Yan Yue's strange expression, Yang Mei quickly nodded and closed her mouth obediently.

"Yangmei, go and pick up those golden scales, they are considered good materials."

Yang Mei responded, and ran over bouncingly, squatting on the ground to pick up the python scales one by one.

Zhou Shu looked at the busy Yan Yue and smiled, "I'm fine, you go and get the spiritual fruit."

"Know."

Yan Yue stood up and obediently went to pick the spirit fruit.

After going through this battle, she seemed to have a feeling of being obedient to Zhou Shu. Since what he said was correct, the cultivation base of the first level of Qi Refining Realm and the age of teens are nothing.

The spirit fruit was hanging high on the cliff, but it was easy for her. She kicked her feet lightly, tapped the mountain wall a few times gracefully, and picked the spirit fruit off without any hassle.

Looking at the spirit fruit she had dreamed of, she let out a long sigh of relief.

"This time it's all up to Junior Brother Zhou. If Junior Brother Zhou wants it, he can take it."

Yan Yue held the spiritual fruit in front of Zhou Shu, and said sincerely.

"This is your mission, how could I want it? As agreed, I only want the demon pill of Jinhuan Kuipong."

Zhou Shu waved his hand, looked at the spirit fruit and frowned slightly, "By the way, it seems that this spirit fruit is an ordinary second-order fruit, and the value is not too high. Why do you take the risk to do this task?"

The spirit fruit is only the size of an egg, it is cinnabar in color, and there is not much spiritual energy.

Yan Yue explained, "This is not an ordinary spirit fruit, but an extremely rare vermilion fruit. The rewards of the Zongmen mission are also very high, and many people are rushing for this mission. I received it early, and the mission location is only I know that many people want to buy information from me. Without you, I might have to sell it, ha ha."

Looking at Zhou Shu, there was a lot of gratitude in her eyes, sincerely.

"Vermillion fruit? Is it the kind of vermilion fruit used for alchemy?"

Zhou Shuduo took a few glances, quite surprised.

Zhu Guo is very famous in the world of cultivating immortals, even Zhou Shu who doesn't know about alchemy has heard of it.

It is said that it is a very special second-order spiritual fruit. Although it does not contain much spiritual energy and is of little benefit to practitioners taking it directly, it can reconcile many kinds of high-level spiritual materials. An indispensable auxiliary material in medicine.

To refine pills, the required materials often conflict with each other, so it is difficult to refine, and the alchemist is devastated and has no choice.

But at this time, if there is Zhu Guo, the problem will be solved.

The value of vermilion fruit is far from being comparable to ordinary second-order materials, and even surpasses many third-order spiritual fruits.
