Chapter Ninety-Six: Zitong
In the Devil's Mountains, in that hidden cave.
Jing Yi lay on the ground, already completely fainting, after all, his body had just suffered too much violent energy, and he was facing the coercion from Yukun's body. His fragile body couldn't bear it at all, and he had passed out by the time Watson dragged him into the spatial rift.
"You're from the demon clan, right?" asked Watson as soon as he arrived in the cave, turning to Xue Jiao. "Don't be afraid, the demon clan saved my life when I was young, and I will never kill innocents indiscriminately. Perhaps seeing the panic in Xue Jiao's eyes, Watson said.
"Yes, I am a member of the demon clan, and I am a member of the nine-tailed fox clan. After a while, Xue Jiao said softly, the person in front of her could completely kill her at any time, and there was no need to lie at all.
"It seems that this kid has something on his body that even the demon clan is interested in, I don't know what it is?" Watson pointed at Jing Yi and asked casually.
"He has the aura of our young lady, and I approached him to take her back. Xue Jiao told the truth and was very calm.
"The beauties of the nine-tailed fox clan are famous, I didn't expect this kid to have such a beautiful fortune. Watson glanced at Jing Yi, muttered to himself, and laughed.
"Why are the seniors laughing? Now the most urgent thing is to save Yi Gongzi first. Xue Jiao reminded, with a hint of anxiety in her eyes, Jing Yi has the mysterious young lady of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, it can be said that Jing Yi is in control of the future of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, no wonder Xue Jiao is so anxious. Jing Yi said that Ning Yan was sealed in his body that day, if something happened to Jing Yi. Then Ning Yan is also very likely to have an accident.
"There's nothing wrong with this kid, I've just taken some healing pills for him. I guess I'll wake up after seven days of sleep. Watson smiled, "Now I'm going to see my apprentice." You have to take good care of him for seven days. And this little girl who followed him. It may take me half a month to come out, so I'll leave it to you in this time. As he spoke, Watson's figure flickered. "Don't worry, senior, I will take good care of him. "Xue Jiao should arrive.
"Brother is okay, right?" Not long after, Zitong suddenly woke up and hurriedly looked at Jing Yi who was lying beside him. Looking at Jing Yi's even breathing, Zitong quieted down. "He's fine. Xue Jiao looked at the poor Zitong, and some pity could not help but rise in her heart, and pulled her to her side and gently comforted her.
Time flies. In the blink of an eye, five days had passed, and the wounds on the surface of Jing Yi's body had almost healed, and his meridians had also been repaired by the powerful medicinal power. Under Yukun's penetrating fingers. All the meridians in Jing Yi's body were cracked, and he was able to stand up at that time because of the firm belief in his heart and the support of the energy that Watson injected into his body in time.
In the past five days, Zitong didn't say a word, quietly looked at Jing Yi, and sometimes he was very hungry, so he took the fruit handed over by Xue Jiao and hurriedly took a few bites. When he was tired, he lay down beside Jing Yi. Sleep quietly. Even Xue Jiao was shocked that Zitong's feelings for Jing Yi were so deep, and she didn't know what position Jing Yi put in Zitong's pure heart.
In fact, it was very simple, Zitong thought very simply, she wanted Jing Yi to see her at first sight when she woke up. She'll be happy, happy then.
"Xiao Wan...... Soul Renewal Grass...... Soul Continuation Grass ......" Jing Yi's mouth suddenly murmured, very faint. But it made Zitong's whole body shake and let out a soft snort. Leaned down to Jing Yi's side and listened carefully to what he said. After hearing it clearly, Zitong's eyes flashed. Then he said to Xue Jiao: "Sister, my brother said that he was thirsty, and I went outside to help him find water, so you can help me watch my brother here, okay?"
"Okay, then you have to come back quickly. Xue Jiao also remembered Ning Yan in her heart for the past two days, so she was also quite tired, there were no demon beasts outside this cave, so Xue Jiao also agreed. After getting Xue Jiao's promise, Zitong happily ran outside. "It's really hard for this child, this Jing Yi is really a blessing, if this child was born in our fox demon clan, he will definitely be the same as Miss in the future......"
Out of the cave, Zitong ran straight into the distance, turned around again and glanced at the cave where Jing Yi was, and said softly: "Brother, don't worry, Zitong will definitely bring back the soul continuation grass...... After that, he determined a direction and ran towards that side.
After a long time, in the cave. "Soul Continuation Grass ......" Jing Yi's mouth murmured again, Xue Jiao's eyes moved, and suddenly remembered something, and suddenly ran towards the mouth of the cave. Jing Yi's weak voice came from the cave of "Water ......" again, and in desperation, Xue Jiao had no choice but to return to Jing Yi's side.
Zitong was walking between the rugged woods at the moment, and there were already many cuts on her tender white arms, and fine blood lines condensed on her arms, but she still did not shake Zitong's persistence, she was still eager to climb towards a big mountain.
Since a month ago, the Devil Mountain Range had been shrouded in a layer of dead air, and many of the demon beasts in it had completely died, so along the way, Zitong had not encountered any danger. Zitong was bent on the soul continuation grass that Jing Yi was looking for, and he didn't notice that the shoes on his feet were worn out, and many stones on the ground hurt his feet, but Zitong didn't realize it.
Every time she thought of the warmth in Jing Yi's arms, her petite and thin body burst out of huge energy from nowhere, supporting her to continue to walk. Zitong hadn't seen the appearance of the Soul Continuation Grass, and he didn't know where the Soul Renewal Grass grew, but there was an intuition in the dark, and that intuition became clearer and clearer between Zitong's continuous walking. Zitong knew that maybe she would be able to see the Soul Continuation Grass soon after.
Night soon came, and a waning moon shone down a little silvery light. Between the shadows of the trees illuminated by the moonlight, a delicate figure was walking slowly, her feet were already bleeding a little blood, but Zitong was still tirelessly climbing towards the mountain in front of her.
Zitong's feet had been worn out and stuck to the soles of her shoes, and she had walked all day today, with an unconcealable tiredness in her eyes. But the eagerness in his eyes did not decrease in the slightest, just because. In her heart, she seems to regard Jing Yi as everything. regarded Jing Yi as the only faith in her heart. I don't know how this sense of dependence is formed, which makes Zitong very happy in desperation.
Her feet had long since stopped obeying the call, but she just walked forward like a machine, and vines appeared at Zitong's feet, tripping her up. But after resting on the ground for a while, Zitong still got up without hesitation, and there was more determination in his eyes. This skinny girl has a stubborn soul, a soul that does not succumb to all difficulties and setbacks.
Zitong's eyes became resolute, and the wounds on her body were slowly repaired in an imperceptible way under a dark force. Finally, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and when the sky was slightly bright, Zitong's thin figure appeared on the top of the mountain. The night was too long, Zitong rolled down the hillside two or three times because of stumbling under her feet, but after a night of hard work, Zitong still climbed to the top of the mountain, and the difficulties experienced were only eleven or twelve years old. It was an impossible task at all, but Zitong still did it, and did it unexpectedly.
It is cold in this period before the sun comes out. Zitong's lips were white from the cold, and the whole person shrank behind a big rock. Not far from the other side of the boulder, a small green grass grows. There are countless magical veins growing on this little grass, which seem to absorb the vitality between heaven and earth. The grass is a foot long. Next to the grass was a snake that was only three meters long. The snake was colorful and seemed to be sleeping. On its body, it seemed to have countless pores growing, slowly absorbing the aura released by the Soul Continuation Grass.
This is a demon snake that cultivates with the aura released by the Soul Continuation Grass, and has the strength of the sixfold peak of the Soul Power Realm, and is guarding the side of the Soul Continuation Grass at the moment. This snake is called the Spirit Swallowing Snake, it is a snake demon that appears along with the Soul Continuation Grass, and from its colorful skin, it is known that it is highly poisonous, and the poison of the Spirit Swallowing Snake can make a human powerhouse of the same level as it die silently. This kind of snake is rare, and its reputation is extremely bad, and it suddenly changes color when it is talked about in some mercenary groups, because although this snake only has the sixfold cultivation of the soul power realm, if it bursts out with all its strength, it can actually burst out with the strength of the sevenfold soul power realm.
The reason why it is accompanied is because the Soul Continuation Grass must be nourished by the excrement of the Spirit Devouring Snake, and the Spirit Swallowing Snake must also swallow this Soul Continuation Grass when it cultivates to the sixfold perfection of the Soul Power Realm, so as to reach the Soul Saint Realm in one fell swoop.
Now the snake is just pretending to sleep, and as soon as the sun comes out, it will regain its vitality, and in this coldest time, the snake's nature keeps it from moving. Zitong also obviously noticed this, and then endured the cold, gently walked to the Soul Continuation Grass, stretched out his hand, and slowly grabbed the Soul Continuation Grass, preparing to pick it.
Zitong's movements were very gentle, and she didn't dare to make a little sound, for fear that the snake would notice her movements and wake up. A wisp of wind blew, with a slight warmth. Zitong was shocked, the snake lying on the ground actually opened its eyes and bit Zitong's arm with lightning speed.
In the cave, a ray of sunlight slanted in through the vent on the roof of the cave, shining warmly on Jing Yi's face. Jing Yi's face was hideous, as if he was having some nightmare.
"Xiao Wan!" Suddenly, Jing Yi snorted softly, sat up, looked around blankly, but only saw Xue Jiao with a tired face. "Are you staying here all this time?" Jing Yi asked.
"I'm just trying to get Miss out as soon as possible, and it's the little girl named Zitong who has been accompanying you for the past few days. For some reason, a flush swelled up on Xue Jiao's face.
"Zitong, where is Zitong, why aren't you here?"
"Yesterday she said that you want to drink water and go out to help you find water, but she hasn't come back yet, and I didn't chase you out because I was worried about your safety, so I ......" Looking at Jing Yi's gradually cold eyes, Xue Jiao's voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end it was already as thin as a mosquito.
"If," Jing Yi stared at Xue Jiao and said, "If something happens to Zitong, I will ask you to be buried with you!" The murderous aura of these words made Xue Jiao's whole body tremble, as if he was pressed against his chest by a boulder, and he couldn't move. Obviously, Jing Yi's injury has just improved, and he can't use his soul power at all, but there is a special coercion coming out, so that Xue Jiao doesn't know what to do.
Jing Yi staggered to his feet and stood up and walked outside. "You're just sober, and you'll need to recuperate for a while before you're able to move. Xue Jiao watched Jing Yi walk outside and couldn't help but remind. (To be continued......)
