Chapter 35: The Elixir of Life
Judging by the corpses on the ground, many of these people looked like they had fallen to their deaths. The two who fell down after the last were obviously aware of the danger above the stone wall of the road and could not climb up. But they did not come down, and they still did not want to die.
This matter made Jiang Feng and the others very puzzled. And Jiang Feng suddenly felt a little bad. He felt that these people should not be crazy, there should be some reason why they had to do this. It was the reason why he didn't know what the Dao was that made Jiang Feng a little uneasy.
"Save ...... Save me...... Cinnabar...... Pill ......" A very faint voice suddenly appeared.
Following the prestige, more than ten meters in front of Jiang Feng and them, next to the two corpses, a thin monk was lying on the ground, stretching out his hand towards Jiang Feng.
Seeing that there were living people, Jiang Feng walked over quickly. The others hurried to follow.
When I looked closer, the man had no scars on his body, but he was weak. Like a terminally ill person.
"What's going on? Are you in danger? Why are those people trying to climb above the stone wall, don't they know that there is danger on the road?" Jiang Feng asked several questions in a row.
But the monk didn't want to answer Jiang Feng's question at all, and kept talking about saving him, pills and the like. Both hands still grabbed Jiang Feng's trouser leg and tugged at it.
"Now that the cultivation is restricted, the storage bag can't be opened at all. There is an elixir for you there. Blood Knife said with a weak look.
The man was still talking, and he was getting weaker and weaker. Jiang Feng suddenly had an idea, squatted down and said, "What you said is the pill found here. ”
At this time, the man was already weak, and he could only make a whining sound in his mouth, and he could not even say a complete word. But hearing Jiang Feng's words, that person's eyes brightened up significantly. And nodded desperately.
Jiang Feng quickly took out three pills from his arms. This elixir was obtained in this place. When that person saw the pill in Jiang Feng's hand, he wanted to get it, but at this time, he couldn't even lift his hand.
He took an elixir and put it in the man's mouth, and stirred the man's jaw to swallow the elixir. After that, Jiang Feng and the others watched quietly. At the same time, Jiang Feng also looked at the pill in his hand from time to time.
Within a minute, the person who was about to breathe turned out to be better. The body that looks thin also becomes plump at this time. This scene surprised everyone. It also made the uneasiness in Jiang Feng's heart heavier.
"Thank you!" said the man, rising from the ground.
In the process of getting up, it seemed to be mixed by the corpse pressed under him. The man was only halfway up, and he turned upside down towards Jiang Feng. Seeing this scene, Jiang Feng, who was squatting there, hurriedly went to help.
"I'm sorry, I'm too weak. The man said as he grabbed the clothes on Jiang Feng's shoulder, as if he wanted to borrow strength from Jiang Feng to get himself up.
Just when Jiang Feng was about to say that it was nothing, it was all a trivial matter, the man's eyes suddenly lit up, and his face suddenly became fierce. The hand that grabbed Jiang Feng's shoulder also clenched. At the same time, the other hand quickly came towards Jiang Feng's body.
With a muffled grunt, the man's head tilted back. At the place of his Adam's apple, a dagger was plunged into the man's head. And this dagger was obtained from the monk who had been beaten by Jiang Feng before, and it was also in Jiang Feng's hand.
"I saved you, not because I'm a bad person, and it doesn't mean that I'm a bully. It doesn't mean I'm not vigilant. The moment he drew the dagger, Jiang Feng said.
Yue Zifeng's brothers were a little stupid, they didn't understand what Jiang Feng had just saved someone, but he suddenly killed him. But when Jiang Feng pushed the man's body down, they saw that on the man's right hand, he didn't know when he grabbed a sharp branch. And that person's action just now was clearly to use this branch to stab Jiang Feng to death.
After killing the person who was saved by himself, but in turn wanted to kill himself, Jiang Feng stood up, lowered his head, and looked at the pill in his hand. The uneasiness in his heart was even heavier. I kept wondering what the difference was with this elixir.
The reason why that person wanted to sneak attack Jiang Feng just now was obviously because he had taken a fancy to the pill in his hand. What was it that made the man do this? What was it that caused the man to become so weak? And this elixir, for what can cure that person.
When they were distressed by what they were thinking, Yue Zifeng and his brothers behind him were obviously short of breath. And both of them were dizzy. Jiang Feng also felt powerless before he noticed that the person behind him was abnormal.
"What's going on, how I'm so tired all of a sudden, so weak all of a sudden. The blood knife, which also looked crumbling, said.
In a word, the four of them sat on the ground one after another. Their expressions became more and more languid, and their bodies became weaker and weaker. Everything is very similar to the person just now.
"There is a problem with the formation here, hurry up and take the pill. Jiang Feng said hurriedly.
Regardless of what others thought, Jiang Feng quickly swallowed the pill in his hand. The moment the medicinal power dissolved, Jiang Feng's condition immediately improved. After Jiang Feng had eaten it, the others hurriedly took out their own pills and ate them. They recovered just as quickly.
"What the hell is going on? Why do we get so weak as if we're going to die? Yue Zifeng said in a bit of a panic.
Jiang Feng stood up, first looked at the corpses around him, and then looked up at the top of the stone wall. As if to say to himself, he said, "I see." ”
Turning his head, Jiang Feng said to the others, "There is a special formation in this labyrinth, and this formation restricts our cultivation. Now it seems that this formation not only restricts our cultivation, but also gradually takes away our lives. Only the elixir that appears here can alleviate our condition. This also explains why those people don't want to kill themselves to grab a pill. It also explained why these people knew that there was danger on the road, and they didn't want to climb up. ”
Hearing this, everyone else felt a chill in their hearts. Yue Zifeng hurriedly said: "So we must leave here as soon as possible, otherwise, we will die." ”
Jiang Feng shook his head slightly and said, "It's so easy to leave here and there. Now we should be worried about how we can find a way out, apart from the other monks. I think the closer this place is to the center, that is, the place where the way out is most likely, the more powerful the formation becomes. The elixir in our hands may not be able to support it until that moment. ”
"Why do you say that? Maybe you're wrong. Yue Zihai said.
After smiling slightly, Jiang Feng said helplessly: "At the beginning, we walked away from the place where the Dan Furnace had appeared, at that time, have you ever seen a monk fight to the death for a pill when there is no cultivation?"
The other three all shook their heads, and Jiang Feng continued, "When we found that there was no way out far from the place where the Dan Furnace appeared, we headed towards the place where the Dan Furnace had appeared. Soon after, we saw monks desperately trying for an elixir. There are also many people who died along the way. They were able to work so hard, obviously they already knew the importance of the elixir. So what do they know about it? Could it be that they have seen through the formation? Or is there something wrong with their body? I guess it's more likely that something is going wrong. So why do they have problems with their bodies before we do? It probably has something to do with where they are. ”
"In this way, the closer you get to the place where the Dan Furnace appears, the stronger the power of the formation. Then if we stay away from there, won't we be able to get more time, and maybe we won't be affected by the formation. Yue Zihai said. As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Feng with a longing expression. It seemed that he very much hoped that Jiang Feng would agree with his idea.
Without waiting for Jiang Feng to speak, the Blood Knife said with a solemn face, "Impossible." To the edge of the labyrinth, it can only be slowly consumed. The only way out is to find a real way out. At this point, if you think about when these pills appeared, you will be able to know the Dao. I'm afraid it's a trap here. ”
This is also what Jiang Feng wants to say. After the glow appeared, there were pills flying out. Until now, there is an elixir to be able to save life. And there is also this elixir in the labyrinth. It could really be a trap here.
Yue Zifeng's brothers were very nervous and a little overwhelmed. At this time, Jiang Feng was about to say that everyone should act quickly, when he saw monks coming over at both ends of the road. Each of those men had a club in his hand. Their target was obviously Jiang Feng and the others.
