Chapter Twenty-Five: I Want to Be Stronger!
A burst of incandescent light flickered, and everyone was blinded, and it took a long time before they slowly began to recover.
Chaofan rubbed his eyes vigorously, and barely opened them for a long time.
"Damn, I can't see anything clearly......" He groped his way up from the ground, his eyes still blurry, white, as if it was because it was too dazzling just now, and now there was even a little pain in his eyes.
"Hey, brother, Sister Lizi, are you okay?"
Chaofan shouted loudly, he clearly saw a second before the explosion, Zhuo Nan rushed directly in that direction, although at that speed he couldn't catch up at all, but now in the field of vision that could be seen, there was no shadow of the two of them at all.
Chaofan rubbed his eyelids vigorously again, and the scene in front of him slowly became clear.
He thought that the explosion just now would cause a lot of damage, but when he saw it clearly, he found that nothing seemed to be destroyed, and the people around him and the villagers in the audience, anyway, they were all holding their heads, either squatting or lying on the ground, trembling vigorously, and they didn't know if anything was okay.
"It's ...... What's going on?" Chaofan didn't understand the situation in front of him, and just as he was about to think about it, he suddenly found Zhuo Nan sitting cross-legged in place behind him, his eyes closed, and his expression painful.
"Hey!" Chaofan hurriedly ran over and patted Zhuo Nan's shoulder with his hand.
Zhuo Nan rubbed his eyes vigorously, and only then could he see a little: "My eyes hurt so much...... Where's the star!"
He looked anxious, as if he regretted why he hadn't caught up just now.
"I don't know, what just happened, that frog...... Why did he move, isn't he dead!"
"The devil knows what's going on...... I didn't react at all just now! He's so fast, and why is Xingli a victim again, damn it! Where is she?"
Zhuo Nan's brows furrowed, his teeth bared, and the sound of "cough cough" kept coming out of his throat. He was angry and regretful, angry because of his incompetence, and regretful because he didn't protect her in the first place.
"Haven't I been able to protect her...... Nope!"
He scrambled to his feet, desperately urging his temples to regain his sight, while carefully recalling the scene that had just caught his eye.
"Xingli !!!" he roared, and took the biggest step in his life with all his strength, and he was about to reach it, but Xingli leaned forward, and with a force of his lower limbs, he crossed the whole person to the stage with the poison dart frog that was about to explode. Then, a dazzling white light was instantly launched, and Zhuo Nan was blown out directly by a gust of wind, and rolled on the ground several times before stopping.
Offstage......
"I remember!" Zhuo Nan suddenly remembered, and jumped down with a single arrow step.
Seeing this, Chaofan immediately jumped down.
Sure enough, at a glance, they saw a petite black figure huddled in a corner. She lay there quietly, not breathing.
"Star Glass!"
"Sister Riko!"
The two of them walked forward twice, and when they looked closely, they found that Xingli was actually covered with an ugly and disgusting frog skin!
Zhuo Nan was originally very sloppy with this kind of soft creature that didn't pull a few times, but now he didn't care about anything, he directly pinched it and threw it away, knelt down with a "plop", gently put his hand on the back of her head, and helped his upper body up tremblingly.
From Xingli's chest to his lower abdomen, a deep and terrifying wound was clearly visible, the black blood in it was boiling, and the clothes next to him were rotted by black blood. Her eyes were tightly closed, her face was very pale after recovering from a serious illness, her lips had turned purple, and she looked very bad.
"The shape and location of the wound is strange, if the poison dart frog is caused by the damage caused by the attack caused by the explosion, then it is impossible to be right, and from the frog skin just now, it does not look like something that will be produced by self-detonation from within, but it looks like his body disappeared out of thin air, or squeezed out of one side. But don't worry, this is black blood poison, not the damage caused by the explosion, and you won't be able to die for a while. ”
With that, he sighed. The voice came from his head, and Zhuo Nan looked up and saw that a dark shadow was pressed down. Dressed in a robe, with long hair and a white beard, and a haggard and vicissitudes of life.
"Boss Yuan!" Chaofan shouted.
In fact, when the two of them were talking just now, Yuan Liufeng had already opened his eyes, but he was not as excited as the two of them, but watched the changes on the sidelines, which could deduce whether Xingli's injury was serious or not.
The adult world will not allow you to easily show sad emotions at such a time, let alone Yuan Liufeng.
"Doctor Yuan......" Zhuo Nan suppressed his emotions hard, forced to calm down and said: "Please, save her ......"
"I don't need you to say it, I know ......" Yuan Liufeng turned off the table, picked up Xingli, and ran to the infirmary at a gallop while trying to maintain a stable state.
The two of them were in a hurry, and no one noticed the tears that crossed the corners of Yuan Liufeng's eyes just now.
......
For the next few hours, the only sound in the infirmary was the sound of ping-pong footsteps and the collision of various glassware, until in the evening, when the sky was getting dark, a long sigh came from inside the room, and Yuan Liufeng put down the bandages and alcohol cotton in his hand, and sat down heavily on the bed beside him.
Zhuo Nan and Chao Fan were sitting on a small wooden bench used to entertain guests next to them.
With the two of them in charge of being helpers, it took eight or nine hours, and this black blood poison was only suppressed, and it was not eradicated at all.
Now Xingli is lying quietly on the hospital bed, still holding a drip of nutrient solution in his hand. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the sheets, mixed with fiery clouds, seemed warm, but there was a hint of bad omen.
"Boss, is Sister Liko okay?" Chaofan asked with concern, standing up.
"Ah, it's okay for the time being. Yuan Liufeng's voice was very small, he was already very weak, after eight hours of continuous concentration, now he even opened his eyelids and tried his best.
"What about you?"
"I ...... It's okay......"
There was a brief silence in the room.
"Good work. Zhuo Nan frowned for eight hours before he slowly relaxed. I sighed slowly, and suddenly I felt a strong feeling of fatigue and hunger come together.
It is also said that the three of them have been in a state of nervous tension, and they have not eaten a mouthful of food until noon, and during this period, they have been guarding the door, even if Long Yang came to knock on the door several times, they did not open it, which created a better medical environment for Yuan Liufeng, and under this condition, it took eight hours just to suppress the spread of toxins, which shows how toxic the black blood poison is.
Legend has it that the blood of a creature before death was so resentful that the blood in its body was contaminated with black gas, and it turned into venom enough to poison any living thing, and it is said that only the purest and most flawless sacred thing at this time can eradicate this evil and stubborn poison.
After relaxing, Zhuo Nan realized that something was wrong, the strength in his body seemed to have been lost, he lay down softly, he wanted to use his strength to support himself, but his shoulders seemed to be filled with a thousand pounds, and he was not controlled by his body at all.
With a "snap", Zhuo Nan fell to the ground.
"Hey, brother, what's wrong with you!" Chaofan hurriedly stepped forward to check, and suddenly heard Zhuo Nan seem to be whispering something, he immediately leaned down and put his ear to his mouth.
"Medicine...... Medicine ......" Zhuo Nan's voice was very soft.
"Medicine, what medicine? Hey, you can make it clear, hey!" Seeing that Zhuo Nan was silent, he was so anxious that he almost wanted to pounce on him to do artificial respiration.
"What he wants should be...... Tri-grain base copper pill ......"
Yuan Liufeng's voice suddenly interrupted him, Chaofan quickly got up and ran to Yuan Liufeng's side: "What?"
"The cabinet under the drawer on the left...... There is a ...... The green jar should still be a little stocked...... Go take it out......"
Chaofan immediately walked over quickly, opened the cabinet, and found that in addition to the messy boxes and bottles, there was indeed a big green jar, he took it out, twisted the lid of the jar, and there were indeed many pills as big as winter dates inside, each with three lines on it, and faintly shining with bronze brilliance.
He didn't care what it was, he grabbed one directly and sent it to Zhuo Nan's mouth.
......
Although he was almost choked and burned to death, after swallowing it, Zhuo Nan once again felt that his body had become stronger, and it seemed that not only his muscles had recovered, but his physical strength had also recovered.
Seeing this, Chaofan excitedly stuffed one to Yuan Liufeng, and of course, in addition to almost choking and burning to death, his physical strength also improved greatly.
"What kind of elixir is this, it's so magical, boss, when do you still hide this kind of treasure?" Chaofan asked excitedly as he watched the two of them recover after swallowing the elixir.
"Actually, I've always wanted to ask, it's amazing that this pill can actually restore my strength, and even reduce fat and increase muscle. Zhuo Nan, who had recovered his strength, was able to move freely, and couldn't help but sigh, this feeling was really good.
"I'm sorry, this is the highest medicinal effect I can achieve at the moment, the three-pattern base copper pill is to temporarily change the genes in the body, and it is great for the purpose of quickly recovering physical strength and strength. Because there are only three lines, it can last up to three hours. ”
Although Yuan Liufeng, who had recovered his vitality, was in a lot of energy, his eyes were still full of worry.
"Then I'm ...... No wonder. Zhuo Nan pointed to himself and remembered. When I saw the three-pattern copper pill on the hospital bed before, the note attached to it said that I had to eat it first.
"Then it seems that Boss Yuan, do you know about my illness?" asked Zhuo Nan.
"Ah, Liko told me that you were born a brute. Yuan Liufeng replied.
"Who are the brutes?" asked Zhuo Nan
It is a general term for people who are born with a mutilated or deformed body, the bottom of society, and the unfortunate people. When Yuan Liufeng replied, he didn't look at Zhuo Nan's eyes.
Zhuo Nan now knows that in this world, people with disabilities are called brutes.
"What, man......" The transcendent heart twitched violently.
"As a barbarian, he actually called the F-level ...... of the Red Dust Pavilion" Unexpectedly, Chaofan's first thought was this. His heart was pounding, and he felt more and more that the man in front of him exuded something incredible.
"Yes, barbarian......" Zhuo Nan smiled bitterly, but suddenly thought of something, and his brows quickly furrowed again.
"But I remember when I first met Xingli, I was able to move freely all of a sudden, I didn't eat anything at that time, why is that?" Zhuo Nan couldn't figure it out, but when he recalled his original world, when he met her for the first time, the visual amazement she brought just touched the softest piece of meat in Zhuo Nan's heart, to be honest, from then to now, Zhuo Nan still felt that all this was so unreal, but the throbbing and feeling in his heart told her that all this was true.
"She brought me everything and pulled me out of that bottomless hell......"
In fact, since then, he has decided to protect her, but now she is lying in this kind of place......
"It's useless to regret it now......"
Zhuo Nan silently clenched his fists.
"The oath that a man has sworn will be fulfilled even if he dies! I am Zhuo Nan, the most outstanding man!"
At this moment, his heart is like water, but it is secretly turbulent. He slammed his chest twice, burying another vow in his heart.
"I want to be strong...... I'm still weak, even weak, but I want to do it, I want to try, how strong I can be......come! Strong enough to protect the people I want to protect!"
At this time, Zhuo Nan didn't know that decades later, the strongest descending master who shocked the world, the man with the title of "Dust Sealer", was born because of this seemingly inadvertent and ridiculous oath.
