Chapter 33: Chen Ying (II)

Jiang Chen climbed over the front peak, and when he reached the depths of the back peak, it was already dark. The effect of the heartburn pill lasted for a limited time, and he did not dare to rest, looking for the phoenix blood fruit overnight.

He held a torch in one hand and a sword in the other. Torches can be used to light and repel insects and snakes. The sword can protect oneself and cut through thorns in your way.

Suddenly, he saw movement in the grass in the distance. Hurriedly stepped forward, only to find a man lying in the grass.

"Who are you?" Jiang Chen asked vigilantly, but the other party did not answer, his hands struggled to rise, but he hung down weakly, as if he was begging for help.

Jiang Chen came closer, holding a torch and looking carefully. He saw that it was a young man dressed in black, his face was blue, he didn't know whether he was injured or poisoned, he was lying in the grass, his breath was weak.

"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Chen asked.

The other party still didn't speak, just barely stretched out his hand and grabbed it, obviously asking for help, as if he didn't even have the strength to speak, just made a "whine" sound.

"It seems that you need help very much!" Jiang Chen sighed lightly and said, "If my younger brother is here, I will definitely put aside the matter of finding the phoenix blood fruit for the time being, and save you from the mountain first." But I'm not like him, I'm not as chivalrous as he is. I'm more selfish than he is, and I care more about my own things than I do about helping others. ”

Jiang Chen poured out some spring water from the kettle, poured it into the young man's mouth, and put down two pieces of dry food to his mouth.

"I'm sorry, but I still have important things to do, and I can't afford to delay. Whether you can survive or not depends on whether your own life is hard enough!"

Jiang Chen sighed, turned around and left, and continued to look for the phoenix blood fruit. For Jiang Chen, whether or not he found the phoenix blood fruit was related to whether Jiang Wu could continue to cultivate. In his eyes, the matter of cultivation is as important as his life! Faced with this dilemma, different people have different choices. If Jiang Wu was here, the situation might be completely different, with his temperament, it was likely that in order to save people, he would rather give up the glimmer of opportunity to cultivate again. And if Jiang Wu insists on saving people, Jiang Chen will most likely follow him.

"I can't tell my brother about this, otherwise he will keep blaming me for not saving me. Jiang Chen said secretly in his heart.

Jiang Chen continued to cross the mountains and mountains to find the traces of Shennong Rabbit. Finding the nest of Shennong rabbit in this vast mountain is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Fortunately, there is a more detailed record of the habits of Shennong rabbit in "Ten Thousand Demon Spectrum", and there are several places that can be used as important clues for Jiang Chen to find.

In this way, he still searched for a day and two nights, and it was not until the early morning of the third day that he finally found the Shennong rabbit nest.

Jiang Chen cautiously carried a little green sword and probed into the nest of Shennong Rabbit. Although Shennong Rabbit is not a vicious demon beast, but after all, it is a demon, he doesn't know any Taoism, if the demon rabbit attacks him, he can only rely on the sharpness of the green sword to fight with it.

After entering the depths of the lair, he found that the rabbit hair of the demon rabbit was everywhere, as well as food such as elixirs and fruits collected by the demon rabbit, but he did not see the shadow of the demon rabbit.

Jiang Chen searched carefully in the nest, and finally his eyes lit up: "I found it, there is indeed a phoenix blood fruit!"

Jiang Chen was overjoyed, he hurriedly picked the phoenix blood fruit that looked like a cherry, put it in the wooden box, kicked it into his arms, and then immediately escaped from the nest, ran out for several miles in one breath, and saw no demon rabbits chasing him, so he slowed down.

"Great!" Jiang Chen was very happy: "This trip was really smooth! Not only did I find the Phoenix Blood Fruit, but the demon rabbit happened to be not in the nest, so I avoided a big battle!"

Jiang Chen walked back the way he came, and when he passed by a valley and grass, he saw the dying young man again. The dry food he had put on his own side was already missing, and it seemed that it had been swallowed by the young man.

"Hey, you're not dead yet!" Jiang Chen said, he found that after the young man heard his shout, his fingers trembled slightly, as if he wanted to raise his hand in response, but he couldn't.

"I'm not Jiang Wu, I won't meddle in the business to save you!" Jiang Chen hardened his heart and left here.

After walking dozens of feet away, he couldn't help but glance back again. The young man was still lying quietly in the grass, and two vultures were hovering in the air, as if waiting for the young man to take his last breath, and then flew down to eat the young man's body.

"Forget it!" Jiang Chen sighed: "Anyway, I still have some strength, I'll take care of one more thing!"

Jiang Chen returned to the young man and carried him on his back.

Walking on a mountain road with a person on your back is very different. Although the medicinal effect of heartburn pill is still there, it is also very exhausting. Jiang Chen wanted to put the young man down and ignore him several times, but he still insisted on walking towards the front peak step by step.

"I'm still not hard enough!" Jiang Chen laughed at himself. He thought he could walk away without any guilt, but in the end he turned back and saved people.

"This should have been influenced by Jiang Wu! However, if Jiang Wu knew about this, he would definitely praise my approach. A smile appeared on the corner of Jiang Chen's mouth.

The trail is not too steep, but the last part of the trail over the front peak is very steep. Because the terrain is too steep, there are usually no tourists passing by. Jiang Chen carried the young man on his back, and it could be said that he was struggling.

However, the more difficult it was, the more it stimulated a ruthlessness in Jiang Chen's heart. This is the resilience honed by leaving parents prematurely and living independently, which is very rare among peers.

"Isn't it just a few miles away, climb step by step, and you can always climb over!" Jiang Chen used his hands and feet together, and when he encountered a place that was too steep, he first put the young man in a slightly flat place, climbed a mountain rock by himself, and then pulled him up.

In this way, step by step, I finally crossed the front peak. However, at this time, Jiang Chen felt that his body was weak, his feet were weak, and all his strength was disappearing little by little.

"Oops!" Jiang Chen frowned: "Could it be that the physical strength is too much exertion, and the medicinal effect of the Heartburn Pill ended early!"

If this had happened before, he would probably have left the youth behind and walked away on his own. But now Jiang Chen chose to continue: "It's all come to this point, and we can't fall short!"

He could no longer carry the young man, so he put the young man on the grass, tied the young man with a rope for climbing the mountain at one end, tied the other end around his waist, and then pulled the young man forward slowly.

Fortunately, it was a downhill road, and it was easier to slide on the grass, so he walked step by step, and with each step, the medicinal effect of the heartburn pill faded somewhat.

He didn't know how long he would last, but he knew that with each additional step, he would get closer to hope.

"Jiang Shaoxia, what's wrong with you?" A familiar voice came into Jiang Chen's ears, and a person rushed towards him, it was the coachman.

"I've been waiting for you at the bottom of the mountain for two hours, and I haven't seen you yet, so I'm a little worried and I'll go up the mountain to take a look. What's wrong with you, who is the person you are pulling......" The coachman had many questions, but before he could finish asking, Jiang Chen smiled, and then fainted weakly.
