Chapter 54: 'Heroes Save Beauty'
Suddenly being held against the throat by the purple blade, Tuchen also subconsciously stopped, and rolled his eyes to look at Zi Ning: "What's the situation? Do you want to take revenge? They all say that the demons are not grateful and have no humanity, it seems that it is a mistake for me to be soft-hearted!"
"Stop talking nonsense, answer my questions!" Zi Ning's voice was stern, and the purple in her pupils was even thicker.
"What's the problem?" "I'm really called Tuchen, what's the problem?"
Answering on his lips, Tu Chen's mind was rapidly analyzing. He wondered if he had some relationship with Zi Ning, and now that he had lost his memory and forgotten it, she still remembered it. But on second thought, he immediately rejected the idea. Because the name Tuchen was originally given by Mo Laosan according to the surrounding environment, even if he had any previous origins, Zi Ning should first recognize himself from his appearance, not his name.
I didn't know what the situation was, so I had to pretend to be stupid for the time being, after all, a sharp blade was still on my shoulder: "Miss Zining, we have never been in our lives, last night was the first time we met, one has no grudge and the other has no hatred, you ...... Did you recognize the wrong person?"
Zi Ning was subordinate to Demon Night, and her status in the Demon Realm was low, so she didn't have a chance to meet Tu Chen at all, so she didn't know what the Demon Realm General she was looking for looked like.
Staring at Tuchen for a moment, she didn't think that the dignified general of the Demon Realm would be the appearance in front of her, Tuchen had thick big eyes and good facial features, although he was very handsome, but there was no trace of demonic energy on his body, and his martial arts cultivation was as ordinary as a mortal, except for his name, none of the other conditions matched!
Despite this, Zi Ning was still very cautious, and pulled Tuchen closer, lifting his collar with his blade.
When she saw the clean back of Tu Chen's neck, the doubts in her heart were completely dispelled, and she withdrew the short blade with her backhand: "I'm looking for a person, he is also called Tu Chen." You're not him, though. ”
With the blade off his neck, Tuchen finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Zi Ning, who was standing in a daze, and asked softly, "Is the Tuchen you are looking for your enemy, and what does he look like?"
"I don't know. I'm not an enemy, but I have to kill him! With that, the purple-robed woman turned to leave, but after taking a few steps, she felt a pain in her chest, and then a mouthful of blood gushed out of the corner of her mouth.
Seeing this, Tuchen hurriedly stretched out his hand to support her, touched his pulse and sighed: "You dare to be angry even if you know that there are internal injuries, don't you want to live." It's okay now, the two bowls of soup and medicine before were drunk in vain......"
"I'm fine! Zi Ning broke free of his hand and tried to leave with a sharp pain in his chest, but he fell to the ground again after taking a few steps. She was too badly injured by that orange-level demonic beast, and the demon spirits in her body were all damaged a lot, and she couldn't heal in a short time.
Tuchen looked at her and sighed helplessly: "I want to leave, but I can't leave you here, who knows if that monster will come again last night." There are very few herbs here, and if you want to make a decoction, you may not even find the ingredients. Why don't I take you out of the Great Wilderness Mountain first, and go to the nearby capital pharmacy to grab some herbs to heal your injuries. But say well in advance, you can't harm the people and suck people's souls, and leave as soon as your injuries are healed! Otherwise, I won't be polite!"
Zi Ning didn't speak, she didn't want to follow Tuchen to the human capital. Because she has no interest in mortal souls, and she has a mission. Thinking of her mission, she couldn't help but recall the conversation she had with Demon Night in the stone cave of the Great Wilderness Mountain three days ago......
"Purple robe, you go to a place one hundred and fifty miles southwest and fetch an orange demon spirit for me!"
"Orange ...... But the Night Lord, I myself have only cultivated to the realm of the Purple Spirit, and my strength is ...... compared to the Orange Spirit."
"That's just an orange spirit beast, with your ability, you may not lose, if you lose, you don't have to come back!"
"But the Night Monarch ......"
"Didn't you hear me!?"
"Yes, the purple robe obeys ......"
..................
"If you lose, you don't have to come back!" This sentence has been lingering in Zi Ning's ears, she did lose, but she still has to go back and ask for her guilt. Her mission is not to destroy the Orange Spirit Beast, but to serve the Demon Night......
"Have you figured it out, I have other things to do. Tuchen looked at Zi Ning, who was standing in a daze, a little anxious, after all, Mo Erha and the others were still uncertain about their life and death.
"I ......" Zi Ning frowned, wanting to open her mouth to refuse, but as soon as she said a word, another stream of qi and blood surged into her heart, and she suddenly felt the demon spirit in her chest tighten, and then her eyes turned black and she lost consciousness.
Tuchen sighed lightly and muttered to himself: "Just after I finished taking you away, you fainted very quickly, I will reluctantly carry you for another ride......" As he spoke, he put Zi Ning on his shoulders and carried her on his back to the mess of the previous day, ready to find Mo Erha and the others.
Shuttling through the criss-crossing jungle, Tuchen was like walking on the ground, and even he himself was curious about how his body skills and light skills had improved so much overnight. In less than half an hour, some fallen trees began to appear around them, and further on, it was the ancient forest that had been razed to the ground.
There, a lot of soil was turned up, and it was all around, intertwined with many crooked roots the thickness of an arm. The leaves of some of the fallen trees had begun to turn slightly yellow, and occasionally a few small birds jumped between the cracked trunks in search of the insects within. As far as the eye can see, the whole area is dead silent, like a decaying cemetery!
Looking at the desolate scene in front of him, Tu Chen's heart couldn't help sinking, and he gently placed Zi Ning under a big tree, and jumped into the messy place to quickly search for it.
After tossing and turning for a moment, the figure of a Linggu disciple appeared in front of Tu Chen, it was a slightly chubby man, most of his body was pressed under the thick layer of soil, and only half of his arm and one leg were exposed. Tuchen approached, let out a slight shout of luck, and slapped his palm on the soil layer with all his might.
Originally, he just wanted to try to see if he could push the soil out of the way, and if that didn't work, he would think of something else. But I didn't expect that with a palm, the huge palm qi actually shook the more than three-meter-thick soil layer into crimson powder in an instant, and even the ancient trees that fell around were affected, and the trunk of more than ten meters long rolled around!
Looking at his hands blankly, Tuchen swallowed. Before, he was dexterously shuttling through the woods, and he thought that it was a psychological effect that he had become lighter. But looking at the powdered soil in front of him, he knew what must have happened to him last night......
In addition to being surprised, it was still important to save people, Tuchen pulled out the people in the soil layer with force, and found that it was a disciple of the Demon Exploration Palace, half of his body and his head were buried in the soil and had already broken his life, and the bones on the other side of the body had been completely crushed, and the situation was miserable.
It took nearly two hours to do a carpet search along the starting point, but no trace of anyone else was found, and all but the one who had been killed seemed to have managed to escape.
Because he still had to carry Zi Ning on his back, Tuchen couldn't bring the same disciple with him, so he had to find a flat place to bury it on the spot, split a piece of wood with his bare hands, and carved the seven words 'Disciple of the Linggu Demon Exploration Palace' and stood in front of the tomb as a tombstone.
After dealing with this, it was useless to continue to stay in the Great Wilderness Mountain, so Tuchen decided to leave the mountains and forests first to find a nearby capital, and then rush back to Linggu to report on himself and the fellow who died after Zining was properly arranged.
After a series of unexpected situations in the past few days and nights, Tuchen could no longer find the road when he first entered the mountain, and only remembered that the direction of entering the mountain was due east, so he simply identified it, and walked due west with Zining on his back, hoping to get out of the barren forest smoothly.
Four hours later, it was noon, and despite the leaves above his head to shield him from the scorching sun, he was still sweating profusely. He had been walking due west when he came across a stream and stopped to rest.
Zi Ning has been in a coma because of her injuries, and although the damaged demon spirit has been repairing itself, it is also making slow progress. Tuchen called her pulse again, and sighed softly: "The internal injuries are aggravated, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold out to the pharmacy at all, I can only take the risk of transmitting some true qi to you." It's just that the true qi of humans and demons may be mutually exclusive, and everything depends on your own creation. With that, he sat cross-legged and mobilized his dantian to continuously transmit his true qi into Zi Ning's body.
Half an hour passed, Tuchen put down his hands and wiped the sweat on his forehead, touched Zi Ning's wrist veins and muttered to himself: "All the true qi has been absorbed, and there is no rejection, is it ...... Is there an error in the medical book?"
The loss of some true qi made Tuchen a little weak, and his stomach growled, he didn't have the strength to analyze it anymore, so he gently put Zi Ning down, picked up a few stones from the river and jumped into the water.
In a moment, as the stones crackled into the water, several grass carp floated up with white bellies. Tuchen found some dry wood to light a bonfire, and took advantage of the time to grill the fish, taking off his wet clothes and putting them aside to dry.
At this moment, Zi Ning, who was in a coma, unconsciously whispered: "Water ......"
Hearing the sound, Tuchen got up and went to the stream, picked up some water with both hands, and slowly dripped it along his fingers on Zi Ning's somewhat dry lips.
At this moment, a figure appeared not far away, and when he saw the ** upper body, Tuchen was squatting beside the unconscious Zi Ning, and immediately shouted: "Bold pervert, dare to be a girl from a thin family here in broad daylight, I will not spare you, second master!"
Before he could understand what was going on, he was hit the back of the head, and then he felt someone jump on his back, and the two instantly scuffled together.
After a few punches, the two saw each other's appearance clearly, their eyes widened, and they exclaimed in unison:
"Erha!?"
"Tuchen!?"
