Just as the three of them were concentrating on talking, a colorful poisonous snake silently swam to Xiao Qi's back feet.

When Hong Lie saw it, the triangular snake's head was already raised, and it was spitting out cold red letters.

He didn't have time to remind, so he directly reached out and pulled the girl over.

Xiao Qi was unprepared, and threw himself into Hong Lie's arms in surprise, hitting his warm and generous chest.

The masculine breath was overwhelming, and Xiao Qi's cheeks suddenly turned red into ripe apples.

Before she could ask, Hong Lie had already quickly pulled out the dagger at his waist, leaned over and slashed at the position where she was standing just now.

Poof-

The sharp blade slashed into the viper's seven inches with unmistakable accuracy.

The meter-long snake immediately went limp, whimpering for its life.

Hong Lie raised his hand and threw the dead snake into the bushes in the distance, and while inserting the treasure knife into the scabbard, he comforted: "Miss, are you okay? ”

His voice was warm and his attitude was gentle and courteous.

Xiao Qi's cheeks turned even redder.

She hurriedly nudged Hong Lie away, took two steps back and said softly: "I'm fine, thank you for coming to the rescue!"

"Miss is polite, but it's just a gesture. Hong Lie said politely.

"No, no, thank you very much. Xiao Qi hurriedly bowed again.

Xiao Nuan began to be taken aback by the sudden change, and at this moment, seeing that the two of them were more polite than the other, like two fledgling children, they simply pursed their lips and stood aside without speaking.

In the end, Xiao Qi blushed first and was defeated, and she whispered: "I'll go back and persuade grandpa, I hope to help you." ”

As she spoke, she turned and left quickly.

Xiao Nuan looked at her back, the corners of her mouth slightly hooked.

"This is a deep mountain, and there must be many snakes and insects nearby, so I will tell everyone to be careful. After Hong Lie finished speaking to Xiao Nuan, he walked towards the camp.

Xiao Nuan thought of the snake just now, and he also turned colored.

She glanced around, and when she glanced over the rows of neatly planted Chinese medicinal herbs in the garden, a sly light flashed in her eyes.

She turned back to the camp and called Zhao Xiaotang: "Follow me." ”

Zhao Xiaotang put down the things in his hand and said curiously, "What are you doing?"

"Go get something good. Xiao Nuan winked at her mischievously, and pulled her to stop in front of a row of leafy Chinese medicinal herbs: "Pluck." ”

Zhao Xiaotang looked at the herbs, then looked at the courtyard of the Gu God, and said, "Don't ask for yourself, isn't it?"

"Then you want to feed the snake tonight?" Xiao Nuan raised an eyebrow.

Zhao Xiaotang immediately shook his head: "Medicine, it is used to treat diseases and save people, and help the poor." Say, "How much?"

Woman, it's really faster than turning a book!

Xiao Nuan looked at the direction of the wooden building and smiled lightly: "The more the better, pull him all out and pile it directly around the camp, so that no snakes and insects dare to approach at night." ”

"Howler!"

Zhao Xiaotang clapped his hands neatly, rolled up his sleeves and started to dry.

Seeing this, the others curiously asked the reason, and after knowing the purpose, they came over to help.

Soon, only half of the green column remained.

In the wooden house on the second floor, the old man was leisurely drinking tea, and he turned his head to look out of the window, and his face immediately changed in fright.

The Chinese medicinal herbs that he regarded as treasures were being dragged and piled up like weeds by those bad guys.

The old man trembled with anger, he put down the teacup, and shouted bitterly at the people in the medicine garden: "Stop, stop for me......!"

He rushed downstairs, opened the courtyard door, and went out with the big black dog in a fierce manner: "Put down my medicine, or let my old buddy bite you to death." ”

The big black dog is half a human tall and strong, his fur is black and shiny, and his body is covered with tendon meat that has been practiced by running all over the mountains, and it is majestic and fierce when he looks at it.

Everyone was frightened, and they all stood in the medicine garden and did not dare to act rashly.

Xiao Nuan looked at the old man calmly, nodded with a smile, and then beckoned to the big black dog, and called softly: "Good girl, come here." ”

The big black dog pricked up his ears and listened, and immediately ran towards Xiao Nuan.

It bared its teeth and moved quickly.

Everyone not only moved, but saw it stop at Xiao Nuan's feet, rolled on the spot, and rubbed Xiao Nuan's feet affectionately.

Xiao Nuan squatted down, touched its head, and said gently: "Good behave." ”

The big black dog instantly became more docile.

Everyone looked at each other, let out a long sigh of relief, and boldly continued to carry herbs around the camp.

The old man's eyes widened like brass bells, and his chest rose and fell violently.

"It's the other way around, it's the other way around!

He jumped like thunder, groped his hands around his body, and finally found a sealed earthen jar from his waist.

Xiaoqi was in the kitchen, thinking about preparing something delicious and then going up to coax grandpa, when he heard the noise outside, he chased it out just in time to see grandpa about to open the jar.

She hurriedly rushed up, held Grandpa's hand, and stopped, "Grandpa, don't! Didn't you say never to touch these things again?"

"It's not that I want to touch it, it's that they're too much! I don't give them some color to see, I really think my old man is a bully. The old man exhaled.

He pushed Xiao Qi's hand away: "You get out of the way, stand far away, be careful of hurting you." ”

Xiao Qi shook his head again and again, held his hand tighter, turned his head and shouted at Xiao Nuan and the others: "You don't ask for yourself, destroy my grandfather's herbs, hurry up and apologize to my grandfather." ”

Seeing Xiao Qi's nervous expression, everyone was a little stunned.

Xiao Nuan knew that she had good intentions, but she still stubbornly said: "I don't, I don't!"

She raised her eyebrows defiantly, and her tone was mocking: "The meaning of the existence of medicinal herbs is to cure diseases and save people, not to grow in the ground." He planted so many medicinal herbs, but he didn't save them when he died, and these medicinal herbs would feel useless and didn't want to live in this world. Besides, these garbage medicinal materials, which grow crooked melons and cracked dates, are placed in our country Z, and they can only wait to be landfilled as fertilizer. But now, I'm reluctant to let them do something, and it's a great honor for them. ”

"Dead girl!" the old man was so angry that his beard trembled, and the muscles in his hand holding the jar flared up.

Xiao Qi knew that the old man had not touched Gu poison for many years, and what he could keep on his body and carry with him must be extremely powerful Gu poison.

She didn't dare to take it lightly, and hurriedly pressed the old man's hand harder, and begged in a pleading tone: "Grandpa, don't, grandpa!"

She turned to Xiao Nuan and winked desperately to suggest.

Xiao Nuan understood and knew that the situation was not good, but she wanted Huo Liting's current situation, she just gritted her teeth and gave it a go.

She adjusted her strategy slightly, and said in a softened tone: "Senior, I'm also telling the truth, don't be angry! Don't worry, as long as you are willing to save my friend, I will definitely compensate you for these medicinal materials tenfold and give you the best varieties." Not only that, but I will also teach you how to cultivate the best Chinese herbs. Senior, do you think it's okay?"

This is already the condition that is most in line with the old man's heart!

Xiao Qi thought about it, and hurriedly answered for the old man: "Okay, good!

She clenched the old man's hand and said in a low voice: "Grandpa, they are really sincere, you can help them!

"Help them, hmph, dream!"

The old man looked at Xiao Nuan coldly, and said angrily: "You want to threaten me? It's impossible! It's impossible in this life!"

"Then you are a hypocrisy! You are not worthy of being a healer at all, let alone cultivating these medicinal herbs!"

Not to be outdone, Xiao Nuan provoked: "No matter how good the medicinal herb seeds are in your hands, you can't grow them, and there is only one way to destroy the heavens!"

The old man couldn't bear it anymore, pushed Xiao Qi away, lifted the lid on the earthen jar, and pointed the mouth of the black hole directly at Xiao Nuan and the others.

He stood straight, his white beard fluttering in the wind.

He twisted a trick with one hand, closed his eyes and said something in his mouth.

With his movements, countless small black insects flew out of the mouth of the can, heading straight for Xiao Nuan and the others.

Xiao Qi staggered back two steps, and when he saw this, his voice immediately cried: "Grandpa, don't, grandpa!"

Seeing that it was too late to stop the old man, she could only shout at Xiao Nuan again: "Run!

Everyone looked curiously at the black swarm the size of a human head, and didn't take it seriously at all.

But as the old man's speed of speech became faster and faster, the group of Gu worms that originally looked small quickly expanded, two times or three times......

Soon it swelled into a black cloud, and each flap of its wings converged into a scalp-tingling buzzing sound.

And as the swarm approached, there seemed to be a bloody wind around it.

The warm weather like spring instantly becomes cold and windy, making people chill all over the body.

"It's Bing Xin Gu! everyone run!"

Xiao Helao was the first to recognize those black flying insects, and he was frightened.

Anyone who has studied the history of Gu poison knows that Bingxin Gu once ranked first among the top ten Gu poisons in Qingbai Country.

The Gu sufferer will start to chill and freeze from the feet, then spread to the whole body from the bottom to the top, and finally all the blood and body fluids in the entire body will be frozen until the brain is completely dead.

This kind of Gu poison death seems to be bloodless and harmless, but it is actually very vicious and terrifying.

Because the person who is in the Gu will not be frozen to death immediately, but will watch himself gradually lose his ability to move, and then be frozen to death little by little.

Many people can't survive the poison at all, so they commit suicide because they can't stand the mental torture.

Because the refining process of this Gu poison is very complicated and dangerous, it has gradually faded out of people's sight in recent years.

The terrifying poison that was thought to be extinct suddenly appeared, and everyone was shocked and frightened, and for a while it was as if someone had cast a fixation spell, and they couldn't move a step.

Huo Liting was the first to react.

His eyes lit up, and he stepped forward quickly, instinctively protecting Xiao Nuan behind him.

The swarm of Gu insects came overwhelmingly, like a huge black cloud covering the top.

Huo Liting was in a hurry, pulled out the saber on Hong Lie's waist, directly cut his wrist, and spilled the red blood.

Xiao Nuan was startled and exclaimed, "What are you doing?"

Almost at the same time as her words fell, Huo Liting's spilled blood fell to the ground, and at the same time, the Gu insect swarm also miraculously changed direction and flew towards the blood on the ground.

They fell on the blood, scrambling to suck it up.

Huo Liting continued to spill his blood, and more and more Gu worms landed on the ground, turning into greedy black spots.

Suddenly, the first few Gu worms that landed on the blood burst open, directly turning into a cloud of blood mist.

More and more Gu worms also burst open.

Bang bang, bang bang......

Although there were many people present, everyone was so shocked that they held their breath, which made the crackling sound one after another seem particularly clear and harsh.

In the courtyard, the old man and Xiaoqi looked at this sudden change, and their eyes widened in astonishment.

Xiao Qi's face was pale, and he looked at the old man with a dull gaze for a while: "Grandpa, you just deliberately wanted to test them, right?"

The old man didn't speak, just watched the Gu worms turn into clouds of blood mist one after another.

Xiao Qi sniffed and gently tugged at his sleeve: "Grandpa, so you should have judged how powerful the Gu poison on that gentleman's body is, right?"

"Hmph, I'm not so kind!"

The old man shook off her hand and said angrily, "I just want to teach them a lesson." It's just that I didn't expect that this man from country Z, who is highly poisonous in his body, actually has this heart and eye, and he can see that the treasure in my hand is not as powerful as the Gu poison on his body. reacted quickly in such a short time, and also countered our army. ”

Seeing that he was getting more and more angry, Xiao Qi hurriedly defended: "Maybe he doesn't know the power of this Gu poison at all, it's just that the Gu worm in his body controls him to do this." That Gu worm is very powerful, and it can control people's minds. Although he was able to suppress it before, maybe he didn't suppress it just now. ”

"Hmph, I don't care if he suppresses it or not, it's none of my business anyway. Horizontal and vertical are groups of people looking for death, too lazy to pay attention to them. The old man pursed his lips in disgust, turned and went into the house.

"Grandpa......"

Before Xiao Qi could speak, he was interrupted by the old man in a cold voice: "Don't disturb me." I'm tired and need to rest!"

After speaking, he closed the door directly.

Xiao Qi stood in the courtyard, listening to the sound of the old man going upstairs, looking at Xiao Nuan's direction, and sighed heavily.

Grandpa's Gu worm is gone, but that gentleman is bleeding like this, and his life is probably gone......

At the side of the medicine garden, everyone watched the old man's Gu worm completely lose its combat effectiveness, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Wo Gang praised: "Mr. Huo, I really didn't expect that although you are from country Z, you are also involved in Gu poison. ”

Zhao Xiaotang's face was full of happiness for the rest of his life: "Yes, Mr. Huo, for the sake of your good performance today, I will be a little polite to you in the future." ”

She pinched her fingertips and deliberately emphasized the next little bit.

Bai Yu looked worried, and said angrily: "Hmph, what kind of broken Gu God, he doesn't believe in his words, he clearly said that the golden basin washes his hands and puts so many Gu insects out to harm people." Fortunately, our three young men are wise and martial, and they will turn the tide, otherwise I think everyone would have to explain here. ”

Everyone followed with a compliment, and Huo Liting's eyes were full of admiration.

Hong Lie recalled that he couldn't stand up to protect everyone at the first time, and he was ashamed and unwilling in his heart, so he was silent and didn't speak.

Huo Liting's face was expressionless, and he didn't care about everyone's words.

He watched those Gu worms vigilantly, until he was sure that the last burst of blood mist had completely disappeared into the air, and then he turned his head to check on Xiao Nuan.

"Are you alright?"

He looked up and down, his red eyes full of warm concern, and he didn't care about his pale and weak face due to blood loss.

Xiao Nuan was worried and moved, and said softly: "I'm fine." How are you?"

Huo Liting was relieved, and the corners of his lips curled slightly: "It's okay if you're fine......"

Before his words fell, the whole person was like a kite with a broken string, and he fell directly on his back.

"Ting!"

Xiao Nuan's eyes lit up, and the title blurted out.

His face was like white paper, and his breath was like a gossamer, and the bruised blood vessels became more and more transparent and thin.

Everyone was taken aback and hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"I'm afraid I'm losing too much blood, hurry, carry it back to the camp. Wo Gang said in a panic.

"No, he has to stop the bleeding right away. Xiao Nuan interrupted in a deep voice, and his gaze fell on Huo Liting's wrist.

Wo Gang was puzzled, and followed her gaze, only to find that the wound on Huo Liting's wrist was still bleeding, and it was bleeding more and more.

The wound, which was originally extremely shallow and thin, had now shown a tendency to festering and spreading, and it was a visible skin ulceration and dissolving, revealing a blur of flesh and blood.

"How, how can this be?" Wo Gang was shocked and his tongue knotted.

Xiao He Lao hurriedly squatted down to check Huo Liting's wounds and physical condition, and said calmly: "It should be the weakness of the body caused by blood loss, which accelerated the onset of Gu poison." His current situation can be said to be hanging by a thread. ”

Wo Gang translated Xiaohe's words to everyone.

Bai Yu's face turned pale in an instant.

He held Huo Liting's back and held him tightly in his arms: "No, no, we three young people are still so young, he still has a lot of things to do, he can't just die." ”

He looked at Xiao Nuan and Lu Haoran almost pleadingly: "Three young ...... No, Mr. Xiao, Mr. Lu, please, please save my family!"

Lu Haoran touched Huo Liting's cold hand, gritted his teeth, got up and rushed towards the pastoral courtyard regardless of it.

"Gu God, you come out! What kind of god is it if you don't save yourself when you see death! Are you a turtle god with a shrunken head?"

He roared, his fist slamming into the quaint wooden door one by one, shaking the entire wooden door.

Zhao Xiaotang looked at the wound on Huo Liting's hand, only felt a chill on his back, and subconsciously grabbed the hands of the people around him.

Li Lei was worried about Huo Liting, and suddenly felt that he was clenched softly by the cold. He saw that it was Zhao Xiaotang with his side eyes, and when he saw her expression, he immediately held her hand, tightly, tightly.

They couldn't do anything, they could only rely on each other and cheer for Huo Liting in their hearts.

Xiao Nuan's eyes were filled with tears, and she pursed her lips tightly and forced all the sourness back.

"Don't worry, I'll stop the bleeding for him first. ”

She pretended to be calm, her trembling voice still revealing the fear in her heart.

Her plain white fingertips flipped over, took the slender silver needle from the needle belt she carried with her, and slowly pierced several acupuncture points on Huo Liting's hand.

After piercing the silver needle, she looked around again, found a few Chinese herbs from the medicine garden, crushed them into a paste, and pasted them on Huo Liting's wounds.

Soon, the blood flow rate of Huo Liting's wound slowed down at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it quickly scabbed.

Seeing this, everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but they saw Huo Liting's face turn from pale to dark.

His thin lips showed a sickly bruise, as if he was leaned over by a ghost in a horror TV series.

Wo Gang looked at Xiao He Lao with a pleading gaze, and said softly: "This, this is the Gu poison that has aggravated again?"

Xiao Helao nodded silently.

If there is no effective treatment, this noble young talent can only be buried in this barren mountain and wilderness.

The faces of the crowd darkened at the same time.

Although they come from different countries, have different backgrounds, and even stand on opposite sides for some reason.

But just now, just now, this man exchanged his half life for everyone's safety.

The atmosphere was like frost and snow, and it fell to freezing point in an instant.

Pastoral courtyard.

Lu Haoran scolded from Z Chinese to Mi Chinese, and then to Ci Chinese, in short, he scolded all the languages he knew, and finally scolded the old man out of the room.

"Crazy! all crazy!" the old man roared, furious: "If I don't poison all of you today, I will become a Gu God in vain!"

"Grandpa, don't! Please, I'm giving them a chance!" Xiao Qi hugged the old man's arm and begged bitterly.

Without waiting for the old man to answer, she shouted at Xiao Nuan and the others: "Grandpa didn't mean to harm you just now, he was testing the Gu worm on that gentleman's body." It turns out that this kind of Gu poison, even my grandfather, can't do anything about it. Don't make any more useless struggles, lest Grandpa be angry with you. I beg you, get out of here!"

"Miss, Gu God senior, it's not that we refuse to leave, it's that he can't leave in his current situation. Xiao He Lao stepped forward, knocked lightly on the chai door and said respectfully: "Please save him with the compassion of a healer! Life or death, we only ask you to try your best." ”

"Yes, Gu God senior, please. The crowd echoed, their voices filled with sincere supplication.

Xiao Qi couldn't bear it, and his eyes were red.

She also thinks that the best-looking man from country Z should be a good person.

The old man didn't think so, and sneered coldly: "It's forgivable to do evil in heaven, but you can't live for your own sin." He killed my Ice Heart Gu, he deserved it!"

Deserve?!

He was clearly trying to save the lives of more than a dozen people present, and he did not hesitate to fight with his own precarious life.

And as the culprit who sent out the Ice Heart Gu, what qualifications does he have to say that he deserves it!

Filled with grief and indignation, Xiao Nuan suddenly burst out laughing.

She put Huo Liting flat on the ground, got up and said loudly: "Okay, you deserve it!

Her beautiful eyes rolled, and when she looked at the old man, she hooked her lips shallowly, and smiled coldly: "I'll let you see now, what is really deserved!"

As she spoke, she picked up the knife on the ground and slashed at the various Chinese herbs in the medicine garden.

"Born as a herb but not to cure diseases and save people, grow here as a potted plant?"

With the knife in hand, a large handful of luxuriant black wolfberries were cut down until only the bare trunk remained.

The immature black wolfberry fell to the ground, and it was distressing to look at.

Xiao Nuan's pupils shrank imperceptibly, and he said silently in his heart: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry, please forgive me!

She barely stopped, and swung out again: "What kind of garbage thing, it's still blooming, do you think this is a garden?"

In just a few seconds, the green astragalus, which was already covered with small yellow flowers, was cut down to the point that only the remaining leaves were left everywhere.

The sharp blade crossed like a strong wind, Xiao Nuan picked the best Chinese herbs to start, and the herbs were left everywhere, and the ground was full of messes......
