Chapter 1053: Life and Death on the Edge of the Cliff
"Zhou Chen!" Zhang Tianci was shocked, waved his big hand, reached into his claws, and threw it at Zhou Chen's head, the cold light flashed, but unfortunately the scalpel was blocked by an invisible air cover a few centimeters in front of Zhou Chen.
Maria was already determined to live and die, but suddenly heard Zhou Chen's voice, looked over subconsciously, and suddenly saw Zhou Chen. In the next moment, a brilliance suddenly appeared in her originally gray eyes, and Maria was stunned for a moment, her eyes glowed, and her voice was much higher: "Husband, my tongue hurts so much......"
As soon as she shouted this sentence, Zhang Tianci covered her mouth, and a pill was stuffed into her mouth: "Zhou Chen, don't come here, if you get close to me again, I will kill her immediately!" ”
Zhang Tianci grabbed Maria's throat, Maria was forced to swallow the pill, and was weakly dragged by him to retreat outside the tent, and it didn't take long for him to retreat to the edge of the waterfall, and then down, there was a towering cliff of dozens of meters.
Zhang Tianci retreated and observed the surroundings, and when he found that Zhou Chen was alone, he was obviously relieved, his vision was blocked just now, and he thought that Zhou Chen rushed in with a large army, then he had only one way to commit suicide, but only Zhou Chen was alone, this situation was different.
"I don't think I left a trace, how did you find me here?" Zhang Tianci had a gloomy face and yelled at Zhou Chen, carefully observing the terrain.
Zhou Chen glanced at the edge of the waterfall, and the corpses and ropes on the edge of the cliff were still there, but there was no figure of Li Jian. Zhou Chen's heart sank, and he turned his head to look at the woods again, and there was no trace there, and Zhou Chen immediately realized that Li Jian had been thrown off the cliff by Zhang Tianci.
"You don't have to look at it, Li Jian is dead, there are only three people here, you and Maria, you don't need to hide anything, Zhou Chen!" Zhang Tianci said coldly.
Zhou Chen secretly calculated that if he wanted to save Maria, it was still possible for Xiao Shi to be present, but he had no chance of winning by himself. Although this Zhang Tianci in front of him can't cultivate, he has a keen reaction, and he is no less than an elite mercenary.
"Those sect masters have offered you." Zhou Chen said.
After Zhou Chen left from the sect master, it didn't take long to find Zhang Tianci's camp hidden in the depths of the dense forest, although there were many soldiers in the camp, but they were all operating within a fixed range, and there were not many people who went to the depths of the dense forest, and Zhang Tianci often had to return to the camp, so as long as he looked at the place with the clearest traces, he would definitely be able to find it.
Zhang Tianci thought that he did a good enough job of hiding traces, but he was not a real mercenary after all, and he couldn't do it without traces. When Zhou Chen arrived, the camp was empty, only two poisoned corpses on the ground.
At that time, he knew that something bad was wrong, Zhang Tianci must have escaped with people, and after a wild run, he chased the traces of those people to this side of the cliff.
Zhou Chen's gaze was so sharp, the pill that Zhang Tian gave to Maria to eat, although Maria couldn't see anything on the surface, she could still see that her complexion was more gray, as if it contained highly poisonous.
Zhou Chen said angrily: "What did you give her?" ”
Zhang Tianci sneered: "What else can there be?" Naturally, it's the Gu poison here! You secular idiots, do you really think that those poisonous insects outside are ordinary poisonous insects? It was produced by the mutation of the Gu worm, I risked my life and only left this Gu worm, I wanted to poison you, but you escaped by luck, but it doesn't matter, I swallowed it for Maria, only I can relieve Maria's pain in this world, Zhou Chen, I see if you really dare to kill me! ”
As he spoke, he gently patted Maria's back, and actually let Maria go, and looked at Zhou Chen with a sneer: "Maria, don't you want Zhou Chen, I'll give you freedom now, I'm going to make him kneel down and beg me, I'm going to let him ...... Yes! ”
Maria, who was pushed away, suddenly turned her head, Zhang Tianci immediately felt a huge force pushing his body back, and instantly woke up from the crazy fantasy, for a moment, Zhang Tianci looked at Maria in astonishment, puzzled, confused, shocked, and a variety of emotions appeared in his eyes, but from Maria's eyes, he only saw indifference and coldness.
"Ahh Zhang Tianci screamed and was pushed off the cliff by Maria. The position he was standing just now was almost on the edge of the cliff, he was worried that Zhou Chen wanted to make a move, but he didn't expect that such a great force suddenly surged out of Maria's body, and in an instant, with him, Maria also fell to the bottom of the cliff.
"Husband." Mary muttered silently and closed her eyes, but at this moment, a gust of wind appeared behind her ears, and then Maria felt a warmth in her body, and she was already held in her arms.
"Husband?" Maria opened her eyes and looked back at Zhou Chen who was holding her body in a daze, the cold wind around her was biting, Maria only felt that she had fallen into the ice cave in an instant, and she shouted in the biggest voice in her life: "Zhou Chen, why did you jump down!" You can't die! ”
Zhou Chen didn't speak, just smiled back at Maria, and then hugged her harder. The cliff dozens of meters high, it is five or six seconds to say it, there is no respite at all, Maria only struggled for a moment, and hugged Zhou Chen tightly with both hands and feet, tears kept rolling down in her eyes, and she whispered: "Husband, in the next life, I still want to be your wife, I haven't done enough." ”
"Okay." Zhou Chen said, looking at the dense forest that was gradually approaching below, but there was no trace of panic in his eyes, he took a deep breath, and instantly mobilized all the true qi in his body.
Xiaoshi, don't drop the chain for me at this time, otherwise I'm not the only one who will die.
Boom! Rumble!
Zhang Tianci unwillingly stretched out his hand to separate Zhou Chen and Maria, but he didn't have any chance to act in the air, and in the end, he smashed on top of the giant tree and fell into a puddle of mud. And not far away, there was a loud noise, like a bomb, a large pit of several meters appeared on the ground, the surrounding giant trees were pushed down by the shock wave, dust and mist fell into the sky, and a moment later, a figure came out of the pit.
Zhou Chen hugged the unconscious Maria, and coughed with grinned teeth: "When I go back, I will buy you whatever you want." ”
Xiao Shi, who was far away in the camp, seemed to be aware of it, muttered a lollipop in her sleep, turned over again, and continued to dream.
Maria was protected by a shield, and the moment she touched the ground, she was only slightly shocked, she was mentally tortured, and she thought she would die, so she didn't deliberately insist, but at this time she passed out.
Zhou Chen carefully injected the Sanyang Dao Qi into Maria's body, circulated it for a while, and found a trace of something wrong in Maria's head, where there was a gloomy and cold aura, not like a sign of poisoning, but like an evil qi, seeing that Zhou Chen slightly increased the input of Sanyang Dao Qi, and in a moment, this evil qi was dispelled.
"This should be the poisoning that Zhang Tianci said, if you don't understand it, it will indeed be regarded as a kind of poisonous gas." Zhou Chen said silently in his heart, and checked again, this time he found a small round thing in Maria's stomach, exuding the breath of life, Zhou Chen's heart sank, this thing was the Gu worm.
Obviously, in the perspective of Sanyang Dao Qi, this is not a toxin, but a life, instead of devouring it, it began to input a trace of energy into the round shell, Zhou Chen was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly released the Sanyang Dao Qi.
"How so?" Zhou Chen scolded secretly, thought about it slightly, stood up and walked in the direction of Zhang Tianci, Zhang Tianci was hung on the tree, his internal organs had already been broken, and he couldn't die anymore, Zhou Chen spent a lot of effort to finally pull him down from the tree, and found that he was not only broken in internal organs, but even his body was probably incomplete.
His body is pierced by countless branches, and if you don't know, I'm afraid you will think that he has grown on a big tree.
Zhou Chen didn't care much, directly split the branches, and then began to search on Zhang Tianci's body, since this person has poison, it is said that there should be an antidote, but Zhou Chen searched for a while, and only found a book torn into dozens of pieces, and some fragments of bottles and cans, in addition, Zhou Chen found a little pill under the tree he fell, and there was nothing else.
No one said that Zhou Chen couldn't be sure of the effect of these pills on his own, if the antidote was fine, in case this was another Gu worm, it would be self-defeating, so Zhou Chen didn't dare to try it easily, so he could only tear off Zhang Tianci's clothes, wrap up all the things he found, and prepare to wait until he returned to the camp and brought it back to the world to check the medicinal properties, and then decided what to do.
As for the Gu worm in Maria's body, Zhou Chen secretly prayed in his heart, hoping not to break out of the shell during this time, but he would not sit still, and after returning to the Red Dust Outer Domain, he planned to ask the Yu family to come forward, Yu Donglin's old thing can have a grandmaster-level cultivation, let him make a move, maybe he can force out this Gu worm, even if it doesn't work, the Yu family also has the sect of Alchemy Sect, so the hope is still quite big.
Thinking of this, Zhou Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
"By the way, Li Jian's corpse." Zhou Chen suddenly remembered something and went to the waterfall to find it. The place where Li Jian fell was under the waterfall, although the waterfall was huge, but the water below was not particularly fast, and it was very likely that Li Jian was not washed away.
Zhou Chen spared for a while, but did not find Li Jian's body, but found a trace of a fire nearby.
"Could it be that Li Jian's body was taken away by them?" Zhou Chen's brows furrowed, Li Jian died to protect Maria, he had to bring back Li Jian's body no matter what, but the forest under this cliff was more complicated than the island forest, but he didn't know who could come here to rest.
Zhou Chen had heard some rumors that in the depths of this island forest, there were wild people, and there were also some people who had committed capital crimes in the outer lands who did not want to accept punishment, so they ran in to live, and they stayed for a lifetime, and they were not much different from wild people, these wild people could eat anything for food, and dead human flesh was one of their food.
"If you eat him, I'll make you worse than dead." Zhou Chen clenched his fists and said in a low voice.
There were wild people on the ground to make a bonfire, Zhou Chen rebuilt it, got a wooden stand, and then easily grabbed some hares and wild vegetables from the woods, and set up a barbecue on the stand.
These things are not a difficult thing, he is a doctor, he has a very clear understanding of toxins, what toxins are in wild vegetables, as long as you look at it, you can basically guess a rough idea, not to mention that there is also the existence of Sanyang Dao Qi against the sky, even if it is poisoned, as long as the Sanyang Dao Qi is filtered once, it will be fine.
