Chapter Thirty-Six: The Blood-Devouring Mountain Lotus
An Chuyao quickly retreated a few steps back, dodged the blow of the man in black, and instantly threw out the long whip in his hand. In An Chuyao's hands, the long whip was like a living and thoughtful fighter, and he fought with the man in black flexibly.
But An Chuyao is a woman after all, not as good as a veteran of the rivers and lakes like the man in black, and gradually lost her physical strength. The man in black saw that An Chuyao was already a crossbow with a strong bow, so he sped up. The speed of the attack. Turning around, the long whip in An Chuyao's hand had been grabbed by the man in black.
"Chu Yao, be careful!" An Jing stood aside, wanting to help An Chuyao, but he couldn't raise his internal strength at all, so he could only be anxious.
"Hehehe."
The man in black laughed a few times mockingly, and then pulled the whip hard. An Chuyao didn't expect the man in black to catch her long whip, so she rushed towards the man in black defenselessly.
Seeing that An Chuyao was about to pounce into the arms of the man in black, An Chuyao stood firm and tried to pull the whip out of the man in black. But the long whip is like his body in the hands of the man in black, no matter how An Chuyao drags it, the whip is in the hands of the man in black and even does not move, An Chuyao is a little annoyed, but there is nothing to do.
"Girl, I advise you not to go against me, if you regret it now, it's too late." The man in black looked at An Chuyao and said proudly.
"Humph! I won't give in! An Chuyao also glanced at the man in black with disdain, and said stubbornly.
"Hahaha, then don't blame me for being rude!" The man in black narrowed his eyes, and his right hand used ten percent of his strength to hit An Chuyao.
An Jing saw that An Chuyao was already in danger, so he immediately used his suppressed internal force to run in front of An Chuyao and gave An Chuyao the palm of the man in black. An Jing spat blood instantly, and his face quickly turned pale.
"Second brother!" An Chuyao knelt on the ground, hugged An Jing, and kept touching his forehead.
"Are you alright?" An Jing asked in a weak voice.
"It's okay, I'm okay! Stop talking! An Chuyao replied with a crying voice, shaking her head.
"Hahaha, what a good brother, it's a pity that you're all going to die here today!" The man in black's eyes were full of ruthlessness, and he planned to kill all three of them.
At this time, Xiao Li suddenly shouted loudly: "Look! The lotus has bloomed and is now ready to be picked! ”
The man in black heard Xiao Li's words, turned his head and glanced at the mountain lotus, and sure enough, he could already pick the mountain lotus. But the man in black still didn't intend to let go of the An family brothers and sisters, and didn't stop the attack on his hands.
"If you don't pick it again, the mountain lotus will wither." Xiao Li saw that the man in black wanted to kill An Jing, and immediately said, wanting to stop the man in black.
Sure enough, when the man in black heard what Xiao Li said, he immediately stopped attacking An Jing, but flew towards Shanlian.
An Chuyao was definitely unwilling to see that the man in black wanted to take away the mountain lotus, so she said anxiously to Xiao Li: "Sister Li, don't let him pick the mountain lotus!" ”
But when An Chuyao said this, the man in black was already an arm's length away from Shanlian, and Xiao Li would be too late to go down even now. And Xiao Li didn't want to go down to pick mountain lotus, but now he watched from the side.
At this time, the moonlight had completely shone on the mountain lotus, and the stamens in the middle of the mountain lotus were getting brighter and brighter, and they began to emit a charming fragrance, which seemed to be mixed with a dangerous aura.
The man in black didn't think so much, and directly reached out to pick the mountain lotus, and let out a triumphant laugh. But when his hand touched Shanlian, he suddenly screamed, making Xiao Li serious. An Chuyao, who was sitting on the side, also looked at the man in black suspiciously.
If you get closer now, you can see that the hand of the man in black has been pierced by the mountain lotus, and then a black insect under the mountain lotus has entered the body of the man in black along the pierced skin. These bugs are small, the size of a grain of rice, with a black body and a white glow on their abdomen. In an instant, the facial expression of the man in black had gradually become distorted. But the insects seemed to be endless, burrowing into the body of the man in black.
Xiao Li and An Chuyao, who saw such a scene for the first time, were already stunned, they didn't expect that there was another mystery hidden under the mountain lotus. And An Jing in An Chuyao's arms had passed out because he was seriously injured, so he didn't see a strange scene.
The screams of the man in black became weaker and weaker, and traces of insects began to appear on his face, which made Xiao Li sigh at the power of this insect. The man in black finally couldn't hold it anymore, and fell off the cliff with wide eyes.
It turned out that Shanlian still had this trick, so those who were strong in martial arts died from these insects. Seeing that the flowering period of the mountain lotus was almost over, Xiao Li still didn't know what to do.
"Sister Li, what should I do?" An Chuyao was also very anxious, with the experience of the man in black, An Chuyao couldn't make any moves, so she could only seek a solution from Xiao Li.
Xiao Li fell into deep thought, if you want to pick mountain lotus, you must touch mountain lotus, so how to prevent these insects from appearing?
Xiao Li was holding his burden and suddenly touched a hard object. She remembered a piccolo that Fang Xiong gave her, and at that time Fang Xiong said that this was Xiliang's insect control flute, which could control insects. Xiao Li didn't encounter any dangerous bugs along the way, so she forgot about this piccolo.
She took the piccolo out of her baggage and blew it softly. The sound of the piccolo is very special, at least Xiao Li has never heard such a timbre. I saw that the insects under the mountain lotus heard the sound of Xiao Li's blowing, and they all seemed to disperse quickly. Xiao Li was ecstatic, he didn't expect that the piccolo given by Fang Xiong could even control this kind of bug.
Because An Chuyao was far away, she didn't see the changes under the mountain lotus, so she only saw Xiao Li start to play the piccolo, which made An Chuyao puzzled.
"Chu Yao, how is your light work?" Xiao Li put down the piccolo, looked at An Chuyao and asked.
"It's okay, this kind of cliff can barely be handled." An Chuyao blinked and replied truthfully.
Xiao Li nodded and said, "Then can you go down to pick mountain lotus?" I have a way to deal with these black bugs. ”
After An Chuyao listened, she thought for a while, and still chose to believe Xiao Li. She put An Jing in a flat place, and then walked over to Xiao Li.
"What should I do, Sister Li?" An Chuyao asked solemnly, this time she must take it seriously.
"You know that you can just go down and pick mountain lotuses with light skills, and leave the rest to me!" Xiao Li looked at An Chuyao confidently and said with a smile.
An Chuyao nodded, lightly touched the ground on her toes, and flew to a place not far from Shanlian.
"You wait a minute!" Xiao Li shouted at An Chuyao, and then began to play the piccolo.
An Chuyao was very obedient and didn't move, because she could see the direction of the insects at close range. An Chuyao saw that these black insects quickly dispersed with the sound of Xiao Li's flute, and there was nothing under the mountain lotus.
"Sister Li, there are no more bugs!" An Chuyao said happily.
"Chu Yao, just hurry up and pick the mountain lotus now, otherwise it will wither!" Xiao Li looked at An Chuyao and shouted anxiously.
An Chuyao didn't dare to delay too much, and directly picked the mountain lotus. When the mountain lotus was picked by An Chuyao, those black insects died one after another, which made An Chuyao look a little frightened, and immediately flew up.
"I got it! Sister Li! An Chuyao ran towards Xiao Li happily, with joy between her eyebrows.
"Okay, just pick it!" Xiao Li breathed a sigh of relief, if it weren't for this piccolo, she would have died here today, and Fang Xiong saved her again.
"This is still for Sister Li, you can keep it." An Chuyao handed the mountain lotus to Xiao Li, touched her head and said, "I don't dare to break this mountain lotus." ”
Xiao Li didn't hesitate, took Shanlian and wrapped it in a clean cloth, and then carefully put it into the baggage.
"Then let's go find the Poison King now!" An Chuyao glanced at An Jing who was lying on the ground and said.
Xiao Li knew that An Chuyao was worried about An Jing, so he didn't object, nodded and helped An Chuyao help An Jing up.
Because An Jing had been unconscious, Xiao Li and An Chuyao had no choice but to carry An Jing to the side and take An Jing to Fang Xiong's medicine garden. An Chuyao and Xiao Li were already so tired that they were lying on the table, and An Jing was really too heavy.
"Coming back? Xiao Li'er? Fang Xiong immediately rushed out of the room and looked at Xiao Li happily.
"Why are there two people behind you?" Fang Xiong was curious, with vigilance in his eyes.
"Grandpa Fang, this is my companion along the way, without them, I might not be able to pick mountain lotus." Xiao Li explained.
"Well, you picked a mountain lotus?" Fang Xiong nodded, still a little disbelieving and asked.
"Yes!"
After that, Xiao Li took out the mountain lotus from the baggage. Fang Xiong took the mountain lotus, his eyes were full of surprise, he didn't expect Xiao Li to really bring the mountain lotus back.
"I'm going to immediately develop an antidote to the seven-day upside-down ecstasy." After that, Fang Xiong was about to get up and enter his pharmacy, but he was stopped by An Chuyao.
"Senior! Wait a minute! An Chuyao called Fang Xiong anxiously.
"What's wrong? What's the matter? Fang Xiong turned his head and glanced at An Chuyao, but his mind was all on the mountain lotus.
"Can you help me see my second brother first." An Chuyao said with red eyes, "My second brother is highly poisoned and seriously injured, can you help and see, the younger generation will definitely be grateful in the future!" ”
After speaking, An Chuyao also gave a big gift to Fang Xiong to show his sincerity. Fang Xiong saw An Chuyao begging him like this, so he glanced at An Jing.
"This poison is not too poisonous, you let him eat this and rest for a few days and he will be fine. He used his internal force, which caused the meridians to be damaged, and he needed to recuperate for a year. It is best not to use internal force during this year, otherwise it is easy to spread the toxins that have not been removed from the body. ”
An Chuyao listened carefully, wrote down Fang Xiong's words, and then took the antidote in Fang Xiong's hand and fed it to An Jing. An Jing's face instantly turned rosy, and he looked a little angry.
An Chuyao looked at Xiao Li and Fang Xiong gratefully, speechless.
