Volume 1: The Adventures of a Boy Chapter 24: The Cave (1)

This is supposed to be an underwater cave.

The cave was only about the size of a room, and the strange thing was that there was a circle of night pearls on the cave wall! It seemed that the light that Shen Qi had seen in the water before came from this.

Of course, Shen Qi didn't know what the Night Pearl was. But seeing that the beads that looked like stones could actually emit light, Shen Qi was still very surprised.

The light emitted by the Night Pearl is not very bright, it can even be called faint. However, since the cave was not large, Shen Qi could still see the surrounding scene clearly through the faint light.

In the farthest corner from Shen Qi, there was a stone bed.

Other than that, the cave was empty, and there was nothing else.

Shen Qi couldn't help but be a little curious: in this I don't know how many people are living underwater, there are still people living here?

But now Shen Qi was in severe pain all over his body, and it was a little difficult to breathe, he just wanted to take a good rest.

Although you can't just fall asleep, it's always okay to take a little rest, right? Besides, the clothes on your body are already soaked, and it's very uncomfortable to stick to your body.

Since it was confirmed that there was no one else in the cave, Shen Qi took off his essence.

Strange to say, although the cave was under deep water, there was no water coming in. It's wet, but it's not cold.

But at this moment, Shen Qi didn't have the heart to think about this, he just wanted to take a good rest.

Thinking like this, Shen Qi climbed onto the stone bed. There was a large skin on the stone bed, and it was impossible to see what animal it belonged to, but it effectively blocked the coldness of the stone bed.

Shen Qi couldn't help but touch the skin a few more times curiously, it was slightly rough in his hand, but it was full of toughness, and he could faintly see that there was a faint layer of oil on the surface of the skin by the light of the night pearl.

Looks like this skin should be some years old!

Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in the place where his right leg was bitten by a big fish, and Shen Qi couldn't help but cry out in pain.

Enduring the pain, Shen Qi looked at the location of the bite. There was a line of obvious tooth marks, which, although bitten through the skin, did not seem to be deep, and could only be regarded as skin trauma.

But there was a sharp pain in the bitten place, and there were even traces of black blood oozing from the tooth marks.

Poison!

Shen Qi suddenly thought of this word.

Obviously, the teeth of the big fish are poisonous. But at present, let alone detoxification, Shen Qi has never even seen a fish that bites him, let alone judge the toxicity. Besides, with his current state, where can he go to find an antidote?

Medicine?

Shen Qi hurriedly found the package from the pile of clothes.

Seeing that the herbs and linden wood boxes in the package were there, Shen Qi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After carefully counting the red wattle fruits he had desperately gathered, there were only seventeen, and two of them were crushed, Shen Qi couldn't help but feel annoyed.

That's the purpose of my trip, and that's how it turned out!

Shen Qi opened the linden wood box with a sad face and put the fifteen red wattle fruits that could be used into it.

The remaining herbs were found in the Twenty-Seven Rest House when Shen Qi first arrived in the mountains of the Northern Regions.

Now these herbs have been soaked and deformed.

Shen Qi sighed, and a sharp pain came from his chest. Immediately after that, the stomach "growled" twice.

Looking at the jerky that was also soaked and swollen in the package, Shen Qi took a big bite without hesitation.

"Hmm...... Flavor...... It seems to be different......" Shen Qi muttered to himself as he munched on the jerky.

The flatbread brought with me was naturally soaked and could not be eaten, but fortunately, the jerky was not so salty after being soaked in water. Shen Qi finished eating the remaining two pieces of jerky after a while.

Perhaps because the energy had been replenished, Shen Qi felt that his body was not as painful as before.

Thinking that he had successfully mobilized nearly a hundred years of internal force when he fell, Shen Qi couldn't help but feel excited, and at the same time, he was also very puzzled.

Why?

I could only barely mobilize 20 years of internal force before, why could I mobilize 100 years of internal force when I fell off a cliff?

Shen Qi pondered for a long time, but he couldn't understand it.

Although the severe pain in his body was relieved, Shen Qi's mental state was really not good.

Just thinking about it for a while, Shen Qi felt a little dizzy.

Shen Qi's heart moved, and a thought suddenly arose: Could it be that the toxin had spread?

Glancing at his injured right leg with a wry smile, Shen Qi didn't know what to do now. He had never been poisoned, and naturally he did not know how to stop the spread of the toxin in the first place after poisoning.

Shen Qi couldn't help but recall that Luo III had said that he was "abandoned by heaven".

Now that I think about it, it really makes sense!

Shen Qi said bitterly in his heart: If I am not "abandoned by God", why does God treat me like this? I fell off a cliff and fell into the water, and I finally escaped, but I was poisoned again......

As soon as he thought of Luo III, Shen Qi naturally thought of Jing Zhen as well.

As soon as he thought of Jing Zhen, Shen Qi naturally remembered that there was also a Jinpa in his clothes.

Busy taking out the brocade from his jacket, Shen Qi's face couldn't help but change.

After the Jinpa was blistered, the blood and stains were also smudged, and the whole Jinpa became colorful and no longer looked white. Shen Qi couldn't help but feel sad for a while, and wanted to get up and go to the water's edge to wash the Jinpa.

But as soon as Shen Qi got up, there was a sharp pain in his right leg, and then the entire right half of his body felt numb.

"Shhhh

Shen Qi screamed in pain, not daring to move.

It seems that the toxin has spread.

Shen Qi was very anxious in his heart, but he was helpless.

I didn't dare to move at the moment, so naturally I couldn't clean Jinpa. Shen Qi unfolded the Jinpa and gently put it aside.

Recalling all the things he had done with the Five Uniques, Shen Qi couldn't help but smile bitterly.

If they were in such a situation, they would know what to do, right?

Shen Qi couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.

Suddenly, Shen Qi's mind moved, and a trace of enlightenment appeared in his mind.

Shen Qi's face was suddenly full of joy, and he endured the paralysis of the right half of his body and the severe pain in his right leg, and sat cross-legged.

By the time Shen Qi sat cross-legged, fine beads of sweat had oozed from his forehead.

But Shen Qi didn't care about wiping his sweat, but slowly started to work his internal strength.

As the internal force worked over and over again, Shen Qi clearly felt that the paralysis in the right half of his body was decreasing, and the pain in his right leg was also reducing!

"Fruit...... And so it was!"

Shen Qi opened his eyes excitedly and couldn't help but clench his fists.

Because just now when he was thinking about the scene with the Five Uniques, he suddenly remembered the two-color and Snow Lotus. He remembered very clearly that the "Herb Record" recorded that ordinary snow lotus flowers have certain detoxification effects! Not to mention the unique two-color snow lotus in the world!

Therefore, Shen Qiqiang endured the discomfort of his body and meditated cross-legged.

I didn't expect it to be effective after trying it!

Shen Qi didn't delay any longer, and once again concentrated and calmed down.

I don't know how long it took, Shen Qi felt that the pain in his body had been greatly reduced, and there was even a trace of numbness in the place where his right leg was bitten.

Shen Qi couldn't help but look at his right leg, only to see a large amount of black blood oozing from the tooth marks.

Although it looked terrifying, Shen Qi faintly felt that it was a good thing.

I barely moved my hands and feet, and although I still felt pain, it was much better than before. Shen Qi couldn't help but be amazed at the miraculous medicinal effect of the two-color and snow lotus.

Even after Shen Qi thought about it, people were able to smoothly mobilize their strength for a hundred years, and it was also because of the two-color and snow lotus.

If this is the case, it will not live up to its title of "heavenly favor".

Feeling that his body was recovering, Shen Qi couldn't help but smile on his face.

Walking to the side of the stone bed, Shen Qi searched carefully, and actually found a few lines of text under the skin covered with the stone bed!

These lines were carved on the stone bed, and Shen Qi looked at them carefully by the faint light.

"This ...... This is?"

Shen Qi was very surprised, because he couldn't read these words!

You must know that more than 120 years ago, after Emperor Yiwu ruled the world, he unified the written language. Since then, although Taetea has collapsed and the three kingdoms have stood side by side, it still continues the original Taetea script!

Although Shen Qi has read very little, he is still very clear about the structure of Taetea's words.

In this way, there is only one possibility: the words on the stone bed were engraved at least 120 years ago!

But...... If these words have been around for more than a hundred years, haven't the fur that covered them also exist for at least a hundred years?

Although Shen Qi judged that this skin had been around for some years, he never expected that it would be more than a hundred years old! This made him very surprised.

In such a humid environment, what animal's skin can survive safely for more than 120 years?

With doubts, Shen Qi continued to follow the words, and finally found a narrow groove on the edge of the bed. Based on the shape of the groove, Shen Qi deduced that a sword should have been placed here.

A sword?

A sword on the bed?

Who would make a hole in the bed where they lie for a sword?

Shen Qi pondered for a long time, and felt that the owner of this cave was either a sword-loving person, so much so that he had to hold the sword when he slept, or it was very dangerous here, even if he was lying on the bed, he had to pay attention to his own safety at all times!

Thinking of this, Shen Qi's heart couldn't help but feel a little hairy, thinking of the scene where the big fish that was desperately dragging him before saw him swim to this side and quickly left, Shen Qi deduced that this cave must be strange!
