Chapter 26: The Swamp of Death (I)
Li Ji and Babao Porridge followed the prestige, the swamp was full of cracked and broken leaves, and a strange wind blew in front of them, and the broken leaves were sprinkled and scattered in the air, revealing a mysterious atmosphere everywhere.
I saw a girl dressed in white, shuttling among the broken leaves, running like flying, her mouth from time to time let out cries for help, her face was white and colorless, covered in stains, and embarrassed.
With a "plop", the girl in white suddenly stepped into a puddle of silt, and her two slender jade legs sank into the swamp together.
She was terrified, and struggled with her hands, but the more she struggled, the faster her body sank.
Li Ji secretly said that it was not good: this vast and strange swamp seems to be calm, but in fact it is secretly dangerous, but if anyone falls into it, it is extremely difficult to break free on their own, and the more they struggle, the more dangerous it becomes.
At the moment of lightning, Li Ji raised his voice and shouted: "Girl, don't move, lean back as much as possible, and open your arms ......."
Since he was a child, he has traveled across the ocean with his father, going south and north, and everywhere he passes is mountains, rivers, lakes and swamps, so he naturally learned some survival skills in the wild.
And being trapped in a swampy place, it is extremely dangerous, and if the rescue is not appropriate, not only the lives of those in distress are in danger, but even the rescuers are afraid of their lives.
The girl in white was terrified, breathing rapidly, and when she was desperate, she suddenly caught a glimpse of two figures in front of her, waved her hand and shouted with a hoarse cry: "Here...... Help ......"
Hearing Li Ji's call, and then according to what he said, he stopped struggling, took a deep breath, leaned back and slowly flattened his body, and the speed of sinking gradually slowed down.
"It really worked...... " The girl smiled at it, although her face was covered with mud and she couldn't see her face, but the corners of her lips outlined a pretty arc.
"Don't worry, we'll find a way to get you up right away!" Eight Treasure Porridge comforted the girl as she turned around and asked Li Ji, "What should I do?"
Li Ji had an idea, and suddenly shouted loudly at the eight-treasure porridge, "Quick, you take off your clothes." ”
"What, take off your clothes, what are you going to do?" Eight Treasure Porridge was startled, covering his chest with his hands, and looking at Li Ji with timid eyes.
"Without further ado, it's important to save people! Hurry!" said Li Ji, who quickly took off his clothes and twisted them into a rope.
"Do you twist your clothes into a rope to save people?" Seeing Li Ji's crisp operation, Babao Porridge suddenly realized, and he didn't hesitate at the moment, and took off all his clothes and pants, leaving only a pair of shorts.
Li Ji knotted the rope and threw it at the girl, shouting, "You tie the rope to your body first......"
"Okay......" The girl caught the rope and tied it.
At this moment, a huge suction force suddenly came from under the swamp, as if a pair of hands were pulling hard.
"Ah......h
Li Ji and Babao Congee felt a strong pull coming from the terminal, so they grabbed the rope tightly, leaned back as hard as they could, and slid forward a few steps before they could barely stand firm.
"Could it be that there is something under the swamp?" Li Ji's face was full of confusion, he picked up the gravel on the ground, silently used his spiritual power, and the two energies in his body seemed to be summoned, and he couldn't help but spray out, and with a whoosh, the gravel hit the swamp directly, only to hear a miserable scream, the mud rolled and fluctuated, and then disappeared and dispersed in an instant.
"Sure enough, there's something going on down there...... Li Ji said, surprised.
So, the two worked together and quickly pulled her up.
The girl in white knelt on the grass, covered in mud, unable to distinguish her face, but her delicate floating-convex figure was clearly visible, her slender and slender jade-legs were perfect, and her face only showed a pair of black and white beautiful eyes.
The girl barely stood up, slowly took half a step, and suddenly felt dizzy and staggered.
Seeing this, Li Ji's huge palm hurriedly rested on the girl's thin waist, Ying Ying shook it, and the girl felt that her waist was tight, and then her delicate body and Li Ji's strong and straight body fit together.
At this moment, the girl's heart suddenly trembled, her cheeks were hot, and she soared instantly, her vision gradually blurred, her delicate body softened, her eyes were dark, and she passed out.
Looking at the girl in his arms unconscious, Li Ji was shocked: "Eight treasure porridge, aren't you studying medicine, come and take a look, what's going on?"
"God, I've only been getting started for a long time, and I've only learned a little bit of skin...... "Babao Porridge muttered a little embarrassedly, holding the girl's hand with one hand, and gently brushing the beardless chin with the other, and whispered: "According to this vein, sometimes ...... Floating and soft, sometimes ...... The pulse is slow and smooth, sometimes soft and straight, and it seems that the dampness is trapped in the spleen...... Qi and blood are both deficient......"
"What are you doing? I mean why she fainted, you can see it......" Li Ji almost cried after hearing this, and hurriedly urged the eight-treasure porridge to take a closer look.
After a cup of tea, Babao Porridge raised his head with sweat and said, "It seems that the snake is poisonous......"
"Is it accurate?" asked Li Ji rhetorically.
"It should ...... To be precise, my master once said that the pulse was rapid and chaotic, and the strange pulse was ......," Babao Congee gently stroked his beardless chin and shook his head, like an endorsement.
"Is there an antidote?" Li Ji interrupted Babao Porridge's nagging and went straight to the point.
"Master regards medicinal herbs as more valuable than life, and we can't usually touch them, let alone carry the antidote with us. Babao Porridge sighed, shrugged his shoulders slightly, and waved his hands, indicating that he had no choice but to act.
Looking at Zhou Babao's actions, Li Ji was also out of line, he didn't understand medical science, so he could only be anxious.
After a while, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed, and he remembered that there was still a Nine Heavens Xuanbing Pill refined by Shi Niang in his arms?
In the spirit beast forest, the old man Dugu used this leaf to force the poison of the thousand-year-old tarantula for three days, I don't know if he can solve the snake venom on her body?
"Can the Nine Heavens Xuan Ice Pill cure this poison?"
"Nine Heavens Xuanbing Pill, that's a rare treasure, I heard that only Master Tianyun, the king of medicine, can refine it, which can not only detoxify and heal internal injuries, but also increase spiritual power and prolong life!"
"Yes, I just had one pill on my body, just enough to give her ......" Li Ji took out the Nine Heavens Xuanbing Pill from his arms and handed it to Zhou Babao.
Zhou Babao took the pill, weighed it, and shouted, "Sure enough, it's the Nine Heavens Xuanbing Pill, you...... How could there be such an elixir?"
You must know that among the cultivators, pharmacists are rarer than martial artists, how rare is it?
Even among a thousand martial artists, there may not be a chance to produce an alchemist.
Even those who were qualified alchemists, most of them only stayed at the level of first-level alchemists for the rest of their lives.
And in order to refine a high-level immortal medicine such as the Nine Heavens Xuanbing Pill, one must at least reach the level of a second-level alchemist, and the Medicine King is a terrifyingly high third-level alchemist, which is already one of the few on this Kyushu continent.
"My sister is the daughter of Master Tianyun, the king of medicine, and I came to get a gift from him this time, I didn't expect this medicine to be so magical. "Li Ji had never heard of such a rare species of alchemists, and he couldn't help but yearn for it, and if he had the opportunity in the future, he would naturally want to get in touch with the world of alchemists.
"Oh, no wonder! But this medicine is not enough, you need to clean the wound before giving the antidote, in order to completely pull out the snake venom. ”
At this time, I saw that the girl with a muddy face did have a wound on her ankle, and the traces of snake bites were clearly visible.
She had been unconscious for a long time, her lips were tightly closed, and it was difficult for her to swallow even water, let alone the pills.
"It seems that you can only use your mouth to suck out the poisonous juice and then feed the medicine......" Li Ji hesitated slightly, showing embarrassment, "But after all, there is a difference between men and women, how can this be a good ......"
Seeing this, Babao Porridge jumped away from the distance at once, and waved his hand again and again: "Don't ask me to take drugs and feed her, I just know her all my life, and I meet in Pingshui, not to mention that her face is full of sludge, dirty, and stinky, I can't stand it......"
Although the eight-treasure porridge is delicious and lazy to make, it is extremely particular about personal hygiene in daily life, almost to the point of being extremely picky.
Li Jiji looked at Zhou Babao's disgusting look, and couldn't help but sarcastically say: "Come on, I didn't force you, why are you afraid of being like this?"
After pondering for a moment, he secretly said in his heart: Although men and women are different, but life and death are at stake, and they can't take care of much, please forgive Li Ji for being rude.
Without further ado, and without much thought, he sucked out all the poisonous juice from the wound on the girl's ankle, and a large amount of poisonous juice was filled with a pungent and fishy smell, which was disgusting, and after immediately spitting it out, he shouted: "Water!"
Zhou Babao hurriedly handed over the water, and after Li Ji took a few mouthfuls of water and rinsed it clean, he put the Nine Heavens Xuanbing Pill in his mouth and melted it, and slowly brought his face closer, and saw that her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she smelled a strong earthy smell, but it was also mixed with a faint freshness, and her lips slowly fit together, and her breathing became inexplicably short.
He couldn't help but tremble, and a pimple in his heart felt a pimple: this was his first kiss......
In order to save people, is it worth sacrificing his first kiss? Li Ji's heart was a mess, but what flashed in his mind was always the red figure of the little senior sister Xinyan.
Seeing that her black and white eyes were misty and moist, her stirring tongue slid along her slightly open lips, gently pried open her teeth, touched and licked the tip of her tender and moist tongue inside, and a pure and bitter potion slowly flowed down the root of her tongue......
After a few moments, the girl woke up and coughed lightly, and she opened her mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood.
She let out a long sigh and slowly opened her eyes to stare at Li Ji, her eyes revealing a feeling of shyness.
After a pause, she bowed lightly and saluted him: "Thank you for saving me, the little girl is grateful." ”
Suddenly, when he saw that both of them were shirtless, he lowered his head shyly, because his face was full of mud and filth, and he didn't know what his expression was.
After a moment of silence, she suddenly took a deep breath, seemed to have calmed down, lowered her eyes, her eyes were shining with a strange light, she glanced at Li Ji shyly, and smiled slightly.
"It's a trivial matter, it's something I can't worry about. Li Ji's face turned red, and he hurriedly dressed and helped her up.
"Yes, it's ...... to do it," Zhou Babao also echoed Li Ji's tone.
"Why did you come to this Blood Maple Forest alone?" said Lidjiqi.
"My father and I were passing through this forest, and we lost our way and walked into the swamp, where we were chased by a poisonous snake. panicked, careless, accidentally fell into the swamp, thanks to the rescue of the two young heroes, otherwise the little woman would have died here. I don't know why the two young heroes are here?"
Li Ji was about to open his mouth, but Babao Porridge took the first step and said: "I am a disciple of Shennong Villa, his name is Li Ji, my name is Zhou Babao, I have something to do when I go to the Blood Maple Forest today, so I have to pass through this swamp and will reach the deepest part of the forest." I don't know where the girl's surname is."
"The little woman Li Ruoxi also wants to go home in this direction, otherwise my father won't be able to find me, and he will be in a hurry. The future is boundless, the danger is unknown, if the two young heroes don't dislike it, can you take me with you. The girl looked at the two of them with tears in her eyes, her eyes full of pleading.
"It's a trivial matter, we'll take care of your ......," Zhou Babao patted his chest and promised.
"Let's go, hurry before dark, this place is dangerous and unusual, and it is not advisable to stay for a long time. Looking at the dangerous swamp, Li Ji frowned slightly.
