Chapter 22: The Side Effects Begin
Bai Susu slept until he was half asleep and half awake, and heard the sound of rain outside the cave, which never stopped. And the chest...... No, the whole body, the whole body seemed to be pressed by a large, slippery soft weight, and it was difficult to breathe.
This uncomfortable atmosphere lasted all night, and Bai Susu was in a very bad state of mind when he woke up in the morning.
"Uh......" She felt her head groaned, her eyes couldn't be opened, her body was cold and hot, and she groaned softly.
"Are you awake?"
The thick black python body slid slowly, Caius's upper body remained human, and a slender arm wrapped around her waist.
Caius looked down at the female's unusually rosy cheeks and frowned, the bright red and cold snake hyacinth lightly touching her face.
The result is the next second.
The hyacinth was scalded and shrunk back.
- The female is sick.
Caius panicked, as if he were facing a great enemy.
"It's so hot......" Bai Susu shrank in his arms, leaned his head on his strong chest, and rubbed it subconsciously.
Then he whispered, "It's so cold." ”
Obviously, her body was as hot as fire, but her teeth chattered with cold, and the whole person seemed to be thrown into the ice and snow, and the next second she was doused by the hot magma.
It felt really uncomfortable.
"Master, are you pretending to be pitiful?" 996 thought that she was beginning to establish her image as a weak little white lotus again, and thought that her master's acting skills were really getting better and better, and even she was almost fooled.
Bai Susu, "......"
"It's the side effects that are starting to take effect. ”
[You're so cute in my eyes (rare): Specify a target person who is twice as interested in you, and whose gaze can only follow you.] Side effects: The body's perception and immunity fall, lasting 24 hours, remember, don't encounter danger and get sick during this time~]
It's over, I didn't expect the side effects to take effect so quickly, she didn't pay attention to it, she didn't expect this seemingly inconspicuous side effect, and now it's making her uncomfortable.
It's just that it rains, and I catch a cold directly, although it won't die of illness, but the process is painful.
"Is there cold medicine in the System Shop?"
"Yes." The system said, "But master, you are now in the be buff time of the side effects of the item, and the potions in the system have little effect on you, and you must wait for 24 hours before the potions' medicinal power will take effect on your body." ”
"By the way, there is one more thing that the master wants, do you want to hear it?"
"Good news or bad news?" Bai Susu rubbed his swollen and sore temples.
"It's good news, it's bad news, the male protagonist and the original slave have successfully rushed back to the tribe......"
"The original slave is back." Bai Susu's mind cleared up a little, thinking that time flies so fast, half a month has passed.
In 15 days, she lost 5 points again.
It's painful to have no time to wolf.
It just so happened that the original slave had returned, and she could divide the two sides together.
"But the bad news is that the original slave came back and found that you were not in the tribe, and there are rumors in the tribe that you were captured by stray beasts and are dead." The system continued, "The system has just detected an increase in the blackening value of the male master's original slave, and if the blackening value rises to 100%, then the system will directly determine that the master has failed your strategy task, and punish self-explosion." ”
It's self-detonation again.
Bai Susu felt that his mind was suddenly quiet.
Caius carried the female deeper into the cavern, away from the mouth of the air-swapping cavern, where it was a little warmer.
The fire that started last night was almost extinguished, and there were still some remnants of sparks, exuding a faint temperature. Caius wrapped her tightly in the only sheer of the snake and the skin of the animal, trying to warm the female, but to no avail.
Her face became even haggard, and her body was cold. The little female seemed to subconsciously want to hug him, the only person, but the moment she touched his cold skin, she retracted her fingers.
For the first time in his life, Caius regretted that he was a stray snake beast, unable to give her a good living environment, and even the female fell ill after living with him for a day, but he had no way at all, not even the simplest way to warm his body.
It was also at this time that Caius really realized that the bodies of females and males are different, she is so delicate and fragile, a little cold can make him sick or even die, it is impossible to live with him all the time in the wild, that is undoubtedly the initiative for her to die.
And he didn't want her to die.
"Ahem......"
Bai Susu coughed twice, and finally opened her eyes, the corners of her eyes were wet, glowing with an abnormal flush, which was very pitiful, "Caius, I, I'm so uncomfortable, am I going to die?" ”
The medical conditions in the beast world are backward, and a little cold and fever may make a female Xiang Yu die.
She stared at him with wide eyes, biting her lower lip lightly, tears flowing silently.
Caius's cold heart throbbed, and he couldn't help but reach out and slowly wipe the wetness from her face, his heart at war.
Eventually, he lowered his head and bit her lip, "I'll send you back to the tribe." ”
"Sss Bai Susu gasped lightly in pain, thinking that this snake beast's mouth was really not light or heavy, and her mouth was bleeding.
"Really?"
Bai Susu touched his bleeding mouth, and a look of surprise and apprehension appeared on his face, "Are you really going to let me go and send me back to the tribe?" ”
"Hmm." He nodded and looked at her gently, "I won't let you wander with me in the wild until I don't have enough strength to raise you." ”
There was a hint of menace in his tone.
"But no matter where you are, you're my female, you'll never be able to escape, don't try to get rid of me. I've just injected your blood with my toxin, and if you don't have an antidote in a month, you'll die......" The cold, threatening voice swept over your ears like a scarlet snake letter, and his sharp nails brushed her fragile neck, smiling.
Bai Susu was wiping his mouth and paused, "......"
Sure enough, it's fake, it's all fake, no matter how harmless this snake beast has been in front of her in the past two days, her heart is really still the villain who kills people without blinking an eye in the original book.
"If I were to find out that you were mating with another male in the tribe, then I wouldn't hesitate to kill that orc."
Caius's gentle expression was full of murderous intent, a powerful arm propped up on her left side, leaning forward, the satin-like cold hair falling down her cheeks, causing her eyelashes to flutter uneasily, "So, it's best not for me to find out that you've betrayed me." ”
"Otherwise, I'll kill you with you."
He hates betrayal and deception above all else.
