Chapter 174: The Giveaway
The Nine Heavens Golden Thunder destroyed the heavens and the earth, and its momentum overwhelmed the entire field of the Xianlong Secret Realm, and the air was filled with extinction thunder, as if no life was allowed to exist. Shangguan Qing's battle with the ancient god Tsubaki has come to an end, and the survivors on the ground have stayed away from the land of right and wrong centered on the ancient god Tsubaki in order to seek life after experiencing the ravages of the tree demons.
A mountain stream, a day ago it was still verdant and aura, a winding blue stream slowly flowed between the two banks, the pebbles at the bottom of the stream shone in the sun, and occasionally butterflies and fish passed by, everywhere was full of life. Now, it was scorched black, there were still a few sparks left, the trees were blackened and staggered, the dirt seemed to have been turned over by a huge shovel, the stream was completely dry, and there were two pieces of flesh and blood that had been devoured by the dryads at the bottom.
It was such a hellish place, and two figures suddenly galloped by. One of them was a man in a blue and white robe, his face was extremely pale, the sleeve of his left arm was tattered, and a puddle of dried blood hung on it, his steps were driven by mana, but the sense of instability could be easily seen by anyone.
The other person was a woman in a yellow robe and feather robe, her robe had many cuts, and no less than a dozen blood clots had congealed on her clothes, but they were all contaminated from the outside in. Her expression was also very sad and angry, although her body was speeding rapidly, her eyes still looked at the man next to her from time to time, and the color of care in her eyes was so thick that it almost overflowed.
These two people are Lin Jiekun and Yellow Bird Rouyu.
"Master, how are you, do you want to stop and rest. She couldn't wait any longer and blurted out.
As a result, Lin Jiekun didn't pay attention to him, the bloodshot in his eyes was so much that it almost drowned the whites of his eyes, his facial features were locked together, as if he was twisting a breath, and his spirit and body were at the limit.
"Master!" Rou Yu's eyes seemed to have tears flashing, she jumped past Lin Jiekun's position with an arrow, ran to him, opened her hand, and hugged him into her arms. Lin Jiekun stumbled under his feet and fell half-down.
"Feather...... What are you doing...... If you don't run, the tree demon will catch up......" Lin Jiekun made a hoarse voice, his eyes stared straight into the distance from beginning to end, and his hands and feet struggled to break free from Rouyu's embrace and stand up, but he didn't seem to be able to do anything. Others may not be able to see through it, but Rou Yu understands it really-
His limbs were covered with wounds cut by the thorny vines of the Dryad, and the corrosive venom seeped into his bloodstream, forcing him to the point of a trance. Most of his left hand had been bitten off by the giant jaw of a certain tree demon, and if you lifted his sleeve to look at the section, he could clearly see the blood vessels and bones corroded by the venom.
And all of this was because she was caught by mistake, Lin Jiekun was furious and desperately broke into the encirclement of the tree demon, and endured countless attacks to rescue her. If it weren't for that, she would have fallen into the Tree Demon Tide.
"Master, master, don't run away, the demon law has been lifted, and the tree demons have changed back to their original state. Rou Yu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, but the tears had already slid down her soft cheeks. She put Lin Jiekun's right arm on her weak shoulder and struggled to support him to his feet. They have been holding their breath to output their mana until now, and they have run for half of the secret realm, and the breath they are holding at the moment is broken, and they can't even use a little spell.
Lin Jiekun's eyes gradually turned from blood red to gray, as if he had lost all his strength, and his consciousness was also on the edge of survival and disappearance. Rou Yu carried him forward step by step, and there was a cave a hundred meters ahead, and she thought that when she walked to that place, her physical strength and mana would be exhausted......
Just when the whole world fell into a blur, and her ears blocked out any sound except for the inexplicable buzzing, a black shadow suddenly flashed in front of the two of them, and Rou Yu's divine sense still remembered the warning at the critical moment, and her hazy brain suddenly woke up, as if the fog was forcibly opened by a big hand.
What caught my eye was a thin man in a black robe and hood.
"It's you...... Xia Qian!" Rou Yu gritted her teeth and said. Although she had heard of this person for a long time, she had not paid attention to it at all. It wasn't until a few moments earlier that this man carved a deep impression on her. betrayed the Yellow Tiger Mercenary Group, and a suspected aboriginal Yuan Infant helper suddenly appeared next to her, and she was covered in blood, giving her a strong sense of danger.
"Yo, the Yellow Bird Fairy knows me. I, Xia, really have a relationship with the fairy, I tied up the water blue beauty a month ago, and now there is a weak yellow feather beauty sent to the door. Xia Qian smiled hesitantly, and the evil face covered with blood lines looked particularly hideous.
Rou Yu was murderous when she heard this, but she only had a wisp of mana left at the moment, and she had to protect Lin Jiekun. Xia Qian had no wounds on his body, as if he had not been injured by the Tree Demon Tide at all.
Xia Qian saw Rou Yu glaring at him with big and round beautiful eyes, licked the corners of his mouth, and began to pace beside Rou Yu.
"Alas, loyalty, alas, pity. He shook his head as he spoke, and on Rouyu's side, like a vicious dog that raised its claws, made her tremble, but she could not do anything.
"If I had thirty percent, no, one percent of mana, I would definitely break him into ten thousand pieces. Despair arose in Rou Yu's heart, she saw through Xia Qian's thoughts, and understood his hints, she knew that Xia Qian would never let herself go, even Lin Jiekun, ......
"Xia Qian, if you are a man, move quickly. If you want to kill or chop, come at me. Rou Yu lightly opened her pale lips and said bitterly.
When Xia Qian heard this, his eyes lit up: "Fairy, how can you misunderstand me so much, if I say, I won't kill or chop you?"
Rou Yu looked at the wisp of strange smile hanging on the corner of Xia Qian's mouth in her eyes, and the anger in her heart was surging: "Anyway, our master and servant are already certain to die if they are bumped into by you, you dare to touch me to try." ”
The atmosphere was already tense, Xia Qian and Rou Yu looked at each other, and no one took the lead. Although Xia Qian had a strange smile on his face, there was a faint fear buried in the depths of his eyes. Rou Yu too, although she accepted her fate miserably on the surface, no matter how bad she was, she was a Jindan demon, and when she reached the end of the road, she could also force her life to kill Xia Qian in the end. This is like a short stick of incense that can burn for a quarter of an hour, once the incense burns, it is like returning to the light, and the option of living is lost forever.
I don't know how long a string has been tightened, it can be a few seconds, it can be tens of minutes. The two of them looked at each other, and finally, Xia Qian took the lead in taking off the mask of the performance and sighed.
"Fairy, you are really persistent, okay, Xia will not act with you anymore. I didn't stand in front of you to give you and Lin Jiekun a final stab, my purpose was the opposite......" Halfway through the words, Xia Qian took out a porcelain vase from his sleeve robe. The porcelain bottle was covered with a burgundy lid, but the moment she took it out, Rou Yu smelled a strong smell that came to her face.
A mixture of life and death, medicine and blood.
Rou Yu thought of the blood on Xia Qian's body, and then thought of Sha Hulan's humanization pill for Lin Jiekun and herself, and immediately realized: "This is...... Blood Pill?"
Xia Qian said with a smile: "The fairy is worthy of being a fairy, and a hundred years of experience is not covered." That's right, it is filled with a blood pill, and it is a supreme blood tonic pill made from the flesh and blood essence of the strongest dark beast species in this Xianlong Secret Realm, supplemented by the essence blood of a hundred demon beasts and a hundred kinds of medicinal herbs. The vitality and medicinal power contained in it, don't say that you are a fairy, it is Su Hao, it is Shangguan Qing, swallowing it can also recover from all injuries, and it has a breakthrough effect. If someone hadn't helped me, with my ability, it would have been far from qualified. ”
Rou Yu's eyes flickered, and she said tentatively: "Wait, you said that your purpose is the opposite, don't you ......?"
"As long as you agree to Xia's certain conditions, I will give you this pill, and you can use it to save Lin Jiekun. Compared to you, his injuries have reached the point of dying, and even if you lose yourself to save him, you will have to pay a heavy price. Xia Qian pinched the small bottle and smiled faintly.
Rou Yu's heart was a little calm, but she was still very vigilant: "I have a question, why do you want to help us at such a critical juncture, you can obviously step on the lives of the two of us and continue to climb up, not to mention the wealth in the mustard seed bag, there are two engravings." You're a man who has shot at the inheritance of Jindan. ”
Xia Qian looked very sincere and said, "Fairy, at this time, can my answer make you 100% at ease?"
Rou Yu didn't speak, but she had the word "can't" written on her face, and she knew that she was talking too much.
"On what terms?"
"It's very simple," Xia Qian chuckled and said his purpose, "swear to the heart demon that I will never participate in any competition for the Golden Pill Dao until the end of the secret realm comes." Even if Shangguan Qing and Rahu Su Hao are both defeated, you can't pick it up, that's all. ”
Rou Yu was a little surprised when she heard this, such conditions were not harsh for her. If they don't agree, they may die now, and if they do, they will be out of the game five days early.
"I promise you. Although she didn't understand what benefit this would have for Xia Qian, she still swore an oath to the demons in her heart.
After Rou Yu finished vows, Xia Qian nodded with satisfaction, flicked his small sleeves, and threw out the porcelain bottle containing the elixir: "Well, take it." ”
Then, Xia Qian's body disappeared directly into the air and disappeared alive in front of Rou Yu, making her stunned.
Catching the bottle, Rou Yu's face was three points of joy and seven points of apprehension, and after a moment of confusion, he finally came back to his senses, and firmly carried Lin Jiekun towards the target's cave.
......
After Rou Yu carried Lin Jiekun into the cave, Xia Qian's figure reappeared in the distorted air, he smacked his lips, his face was dull and uncomfortable.
"Immortal True Monarch, Immortal True Monarch, you said that you are so immortal, but you didn't survive the most critical moment. If you can live, no matter what, I also want to follow Shangguan Qing and Su Hao to grab this inheritance golden pill. Xia Qian muttered to himself, his eyes swept over the two marks on the back of his right hand.
He originally followed Lin Jiekun and the others, intending to kill them, but when it was time to make a move, the information of the fall of the Immortal True Monarch also reached his mind in the form of a divine sense imprint. If he doesn't destroy the true monarch and immortalize, he kills Lin Jiekun and the others, and the engraving will be stacked to four, and there is even more Yuanying power, at the moment when the Tongtian Tree Demon was killed by Shangguan Qing, it can be said that he turned over and became the most promising person to win the Jindan Dao.
But the Immortal True Monarch is dead, even if Yuan Ying escapes partially, but he is dead! In this way, he can't kill people and take the seal, you must know that although Jindan Dao is the focus of the inheritance, who knows if the seal containing Ao Gu's will will have an impact on the result, even if he doesn't think so, Shangguan Qing and Su Hao may also think so. If he has four seals, he will become a target of all men, and he will surely die.
Therefore, Xia Qian temporarily changed his method, did not kill but rescued, and put forward a non-harsh condition, which was to let the other party lower his vigilance and take medicine, and it could be regarded as half a favor. He had followed Su Haoshui Haoyue all the way before, and knew the grievances of Lin Jiekun and Huang Bird chasing and killing Su Haoshui Haoyue on the long river, so he knew that Lin and Huang were alive to protect him.
After all, he still gave up fighting for the Golden Pill Dao, and he still had a few pills of the pill for Rouyu, which he used to use for a breakthrough after he went out. As long as you survive, it's enough.
