Chapter 49 [049] Zhou Xiaowu
The disciples of Yaowang Valley probably encountered the same situation as the five people and had to leave the fairy ship and go back. It is just not known whether this group of disciples left safely. Judging from the current situation, it is not very optimistic.

"It's asking for our help," Chen Xiang stared at the treasure-hunting rat and frowned slightly, "Could it be that a disciple of Medicine King Valley is in trouble, so it came here, and brought the jade pendant of a disciple of Medicine King Valley?"

Shi Qing said: "Maybe."

She looked at Cangying: "Take a look?"

She wanted to go see it anyway.

If someone is really in danger, it is better to rescue them.

"But now everyone has no spiritual power. If something really happens, what can you do?" Cangying disagreed.

“That’s right!” Chen Xiang was also unhappy. Before, he still had spiritual power to help, but now they were lucky that they didn’t encounter any trouble themselves. How could they have the energy to help others?

Daddy said that if you want to help others, you should make sure your own safety is guaranteed!

Then Cangying continued, "So let's go together! We can take care of each other if there's any danger!"

Chen Xiang: “???”

No! Is your Sanqing Mountain so great? ! !
*
Cangying knew that Shi Qing had made up his mind, and that even ten immortal ships could not pull him back.

When she said she wanted to go and take a look, she was actually asking for my opinion, but if I objected, she would still go in the end.

So it’s better for us to be together.

Shi Qing walked forward, and when the treasure-hunting rat saw her move, it immediately led the way.

The vegetation here is sparse, with only some dry branches scattered around.

After a cup of tea, the few people finally saw a piece of white cloth on the road again.

The white cloth was hung on a sharp stone. It must have been left there by someone whose clothes were accidentally torn by the stone while they were escaping.

This means that someone really died ahead.

The five people quickened their pace, and soon they saw a giant silver-ringed python sleeping wrapped around a protruding boulder.

The Silver Ring Python has a huge body, three feet wide and estimated to be five feet long. Its body has black and white patterns, shiny scales, a tightly closed snout, and fangs exposed on both sides.

The back half of it tightly bound a young boy and hung him upside down on a boulder.

The young man's lips had turned black and purple, probably because of the snake venom. If his chest had not been still rising and falling slightly, the five people would have thought he had died.

"Those costumes are indeed from Medicine King Valley!" Cangying frowned.

"Save people." Shi Qing drew his sword and rushed forward.

"Wait--" Zhongli Jin didn't have time to call her. The girl moved too fast. Even without spiritual power, she was able to climb up the protruding stone wall along the rugged rocks in two or three steps.

The giant silver-ringed python must have just eaten one, and its stomach was very full. It was now sleeping to digest the food, leaving the young man to prepare for the next meal.

To hit a snake, hit it at the most vulnerable part. Shi Qing looked coldly and stabbed the sword into the seven-inch part of its body!
The sleeping silver-ringed python was instantly awakened by the sting!

It twisted its huge body and struggled, its fangs were terrifying and ferocious, and the moment it saw Shi Qing, it opened its mouth and bit him!
However, the girl was agile and bent backwards to avoid the giant snake's attack. Its head hit the rocks and blood immediately flowed out.

The wound on his seven-inch wrist had cut off his breath, and his tail was powerless, so he had to let go of the person who was wrapped around him. Cangying and the others were below, and when they saw the young man fall, they hurried forward to catch him.

After taking him, Zhongli Jin looked up at the sky again.

Without spiritual power, the Silver Ring Python is more difficult to kill. It has a huge body, thick skin and flesh, and its scales are smooth and cold. Shi Qing was thrown onto a rock by its tail and his back hurt, but he got up the next second and rushed forward again.

"Be careful!" Zhong Lijin reminded her. The handsome and delicate face of the young man turned pale when he saw the blood on the corner of Shi Qing's lips. He subconsciously threw the porcelain bottle in his sleeve into the air, his pupils trembling as he said, "Catch this! Don't fight it with a sword! It has evil spirits, and you can't beat it without spiritual power! Pour the contents of the bottle on it, but you must not get any of it on yourself!"

Shi Qing suddenly avoided a head-on collision with the silver-ringed python. After Zhong Li Jin finished speaking, she dodged beside it by turning sideways, kicked her legs hard, and flew into the air, reaching out to catch the small porcelain bottle thrown by Zhong Li Jin.

She did not ask the boy what it was. She simply opened the lid and poured it all over the silver-ringed python, and took the opportunity to jump down from the protruding stone wall.

A strong burnt smell suddenly spread everywhere!
Several people were surprised to see that the giant silver-ringed python coiled on the stone wall suddenly began to fester all over, emitting thick white smoke, as if its body was corroded by something.

The giant silver-ringed python twisted its body continuously, its tongue sticking out, its eyes bloodshot, and it accidentally fell from a great height while struggling, hitting the ground heavily. It struggled a few more times, howling, and finally turned into bones in the rapidly spreading corrosion, and then from bones into a pool of blood, emitting bursts of foul odor.

Cangying was stunned, "This, this is..."

Disciple Xu was also a little surprised.

Chen Xiang knew that the male protagonist had a powerful assistant and could refine some poisons that ordinary alchemists rarely touched, but the first time he saw its power so directly, he couldn't help but be shocked.

Only Shi Qing and Zhong Li Jin looked calm.

The young man looked normal, ignoring the giant silver-ringed python that had turned into blood. His eyes fell quietly on Shi Qing. After confirming that she was not contaminated by the body-transforming water, he retracted his gaze and said to Cangying apologetically, "They are just some life-saving items from the Xuanxiao Sect. Brothers and sisters, don't take them too seriously. I'm really sorry for scaring you."

Cangying said with tears in her eyes, "Junior brother, do you have any surprises that I don't know about?"

Disciple Xu smiled and said, "I'm not scared, I'm just a little surprised. Junior Brother Zhongli, don't worry about it. If it weren't for this thing, I'm afraid Senior Sister Shiqing would have spent a while to get away."

Shi Qing nodded in agreement, "Yeah."

This is true.

"Thank you," she said.

Zhongli Jin heard Shi Qing's words, pursed his lips slightly, then suddenly turned his head away and said, "No need."

*
The crisis was resolved and the people were saved.

Cangying checked the boy's breath and after confirming that his breathing was even, he immediately took out the silver needle he carried with him to provide first aid.

"The poison is still spreading in his body. We need to lock the acupuncture points first to prevent the poison from spreading further. Fortunately, it has not yet reached the heart meridian, so there is a great chance." Cangying ordered, "Junior Brother Xu, give me the Xinshao Detoxification Pill."

Xinshao Jiedu Pills can detoxify most snake venoms, including the Bungarus fasciatus. However, it is not known whether it is as effective against the venom of the giant Bungarus fasciatus.

After feeding the pill to the boy, his face soon regained some redness and his lips were not as purple.

Cangying took the needle and said, "He has no internal injuries, and not many external injuries either. He is lucky."

Thinking back to the giant python's bulging belly just now, she felt a little sad. An unknown disciple had died in the snake's mouth.

Disciple Xu carried the young man on his back, and the five of them took him to a small cave to temporarily house him.

Cangying fed him some more water, and then an incense stick of time passed.

The boy's eyelashes moved and he slowly woke up.

The man who just woke up had blurred vision, and then he seemed to remember what he was like before he fell into a coma. He suddenly looked terrified, sat up abruptly, and cried, "Senior Brother!!——"

Cangying hurriedly comforted him: "Hey, it's okay, it's okay, don't get excited!"

The boy paused and looked around in horror: "Where's the snake?"

"The snake has been removed." Cangying said softly.

"What about my senior brother?"

"..."

Disciple Xu sighed and said, "It's a pity that your senior brother has died in the snake's belly." "..." The young man's eyes suddenly turned red.

"We are disciples of the Baicao Pavilion of Sanqing Mountain, and we are also here to collect black jade from Tushiling. What's your name? Which elder in Yaowang Valley are you a disciple of?"

The young man choked up and said, "My name is Zhou Xiaowu, and I am the disciple of Elder Liu Yun. This is the first time I came to Tushiling to collect herbs with my brothers and sisters. Who knew... that we couldn't use spiritual power here? We wanted to turn back, but then four or five giant snakes suddenly jumped out and attacked us directly."

"The sword cultivator I invited was also eaten because he had no spiritual power. My senior brother took me all the way to escape, but I didn't expect that there was a silver-ringed giant python guarding this place. My senior brother died, and I almost... died."

After the poison was removed, Zhou Xiaowu's face slowly recovered.

He looks well-behaved and delicate, handsome, with red lips and white teeth. He seems to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, not very old.

Cangying was somewhat surprised that Yaowang Valley would allow such a young disciple to participate in collecting herbs, especially in a dangerous place like Tushiling.

The treasure-hunting mouse suddenly squeaked twice.

Then he pounced directly on Zhou Xiaowu's face.

He seemed a little surprised and said, "Xiaobao!"

Shen Xiang was stunned: "Is this rat your pet?"

"Pet? Do you mean a spiritual pet? Xiaobao, it's not a spiritual pet. It's my friend." Zhou Xiaowu said.

"No one has seen a treasure-hunting rat for nearly a thousand years. I didn't expect you to have one." Cangying found it magical.

Zhong Lijin also suddenly said: "And treasure-hunting rats never like to get close to humans, because there is a message in their tribe that humans are trying to steal treasures from them. You can be friends with it, get close to it without any reservations, and even let it find someone to save you. It's really a wonder."

Zhou Xiaowu explained with a smile: "I also met it when I was collecting herbs before. I saved Xiaobao and it was injured. Later, it stayed in Yaowang Valley and stayed with me."

Hearing this, Disciple Xu was also a little confused: "Really? But treasure-hunting rats search for treasures everywhere. This is their nature. It is impossible for them to stay in one place."

"I don't know." Zhou Xiaowu thought for a while, "Maybe there is some treasure in Medicine King Valley that it has never obtained."

After all, it makes sense that the treasure-hunting mouse is unwilling to leave because it has not collected the treasure it wanted.

After a short rest, Cangying said to Zhou Xiaowu: "Junior Brother Zhou, come with us and see if we can recover our spiritual power after leaving Bald Rock Ridge."

"Okay." The boy nodded.

He slowly stood up, holding on to the wall, his legs still a little weak.

Just as he took a step, his body swayed unsteadily from side to side, and he grabbed Shi Qing's wrist in a hurry.

"Ah, sorry, Senior Sister." Zhou Xiaowu blushed and quickly let go of her hand, saying a little embarrassedly, "I'm sorry for being so abrupt."

Shi Qing looked at the wrist that the boy had just held and said calmly, "It's okay."

Zhou Xiaowu stood up and took a break for a while before starting again. This time he walked much better.

Seeing that the boy was really fine, the five of them finally set off.

The treasure-hunting rat lay on Zhou Xiaowu's shoulder, closed his eyes, and seemed to have fallen asleep holding onto his collar.

It was already afternoon when the fairy boat arrived at Tushiling. After the previous few encounters, the sky was already faintly visible turning yellow.

You can't stay in the mountains at night, it's extremely dangerous.

This place is not far from the foot of the mountain, and we should be able to get there before dark.

But just as it was about to reach the fairy ship, a figure suddenly jumped out from a dark little hole beside the rocks!
Hearing the noise, Shi Qing's eyes turned cold and he drew his sword to chop at the shadow.

But when her eyes swept across the hem of her skirt, her sword-wielding hand stopped!

“No—!!” the figure shouted in horror, full of fear.

Shi Qing immediately put away his sword and looked towards her.

A beautiful girl with messy clothes and hair looked at them with tears on her face and said tremblingly: "Master... Junior Brother."

Zhou Xiaowu's eyes widened and turned red, "Senior Sister Liu!"

I didn’t expect that there were still disciples of Yaowang Valley who survived!

When the senior sister and the disciple met, before they had time to talk, the woman suddenly fainted.

It must be the feeling of exhaustion after the extremely tense spirit finally relaxed when seeing an acquaintance.

Her body went limp and she fell forward. Zhong Lijin was closest to her, so he subconsciously reached out to catch the person who had fainted.

The woman put her hands around the boy's neck, her breathing became rapid, her face turned pale, and she seemed to be in poor condition.

"Senior Sister Liu!" Zhou Xiaowu stepped forward to check on her condition and said with red eyes, "She was also poisoned by the snake!"

Cangying said: "Hurry up and put her on the ground. I will give her acupuncture and acupuncture points!"

However, when Zhongli Jin wanted to put the woman down, he suddenly found that the woman's arms were incredibly strong. She climbed onto his neck and rested her head on his chest, unable to get away from him.

The boy was a bit of a germaphobe and naturally couldn't stand such contact, let alone with the opposite sex. But after struggling several times in vain, he sighed and had no other choice.

"Her body is a little stiff." Zhong Lijin said in a deep voice: "Her arms are stiff and she can't let go at all now."

Cangying gritted her teeth and said, "It looks like the snake venom is very serious. My limbs have started to become paralyzed."

Acupuncture is useless in this situation. It would be best to use spiritual power to force the poison out, but no one can use spiritual power now.

Shi Qing suddenly took out a small black pill from his pocket and gave it to Zhong Lijin, "This, give it to her."

Zhongli Jin was stunned: "Baijie Pills? Are you sure?"

He knew how much Shi Qing liked this thing, but he didn't expect that she would take it out directly in this situation.

"Yes." Shi Qing said: "Saving people is the most important thing."

No matter how much you like it, if it conflicts with saving a life, you have to give it up.

"..."

Zhongli Jin took the pill with a complicated look in his eyes.

Perhaps it was because the girl's behavior was very different from the identity of the person who broke off the engagement.

He always thought Shi Qing was selfish, but now it seems that this is not the case.

But if you are not selfish, why would you give such a reason for breaking off the engagement?

Zhongli Jin felt that Shi Qing was like a huge contradiction.

She would always break the definition he gave her after giving her a certain definition.

After the unconscious girl took Baijie Pills, her complexion finally seemed to improve.

But she still did not let go of Zhongli Jin, and snuggled in the boy's arms in a dependent manner.

Shen Xiang found it a bit strange, how come this girl had such good taste that she picked the male protagonist to hug right away?
Here I come!! Good night~~~
