Chapter 44(2/3)
"It's too cold here. I'd have known that I would have worn a few more clothes before. Now I'll freeze and I'll have to get sick when I go back."
"Master said that you want to wear more, who has asked you to wear so little? Hurry up and pick all the spiritual herbs that should be picked, so we can go back and hand in the work."
"I understand, what's the urging... it's all caused by that snake demon. If he hadn't injured his junior brother, how could Master let us come to Tianshan to collect herbs?" the man muttered.
Shi Li's heart moved and hurriedly searched through the original text in his mind, looking for a description of the young junior brother's character. After reading the character description several times, she confirmed that the young junior brother was the one who wanted to kill her in the forest. Then Chen Jingyan overturned them and brought herself underwater to escape.
Shi Li tskated and waited for them to leave, and asked Chen Jingyan in a low voice: "Didn't you not take action at that time? When did you hurt him?"
"I don't know any junior brother." Chen Jingyan said lazyly.
Shi Li was speechless for a moment and could only remind her with all her heart. After she carefully described the forest, he suddenly realized: "Oh, those few, I really didn't do it, but I just poisoned them. No wonder they were coming to Tianshan, it turned out to be to find an antidote."
...Okay, it's up.
Shi Li sighed, then thought of something: "The spiritual medicine you want is not the same as what they want, right?"
"Of course not. I am a person who specializes in recovering internal injuries for demon cultivators, and it is of no use to those who cultivate immortals." Chen Jingyan said casually.
Shi Li nodded: "That's good, so there is no need to worry about conflict."
"I haven't taken a few young boys seriously yet." Chen Jingyan sneered.
Shi Li sighed helplessly: "I know you didn't take it seriously, but the most important thing today is to pick spirit grass, right? What's more, there are ferocious beasts to deal with, and you don't want to deal with ferocious beasts in front, but you have to deal with those people in the back, right?"
Chen Jingyan seemed to think what she said made sense, so he stopped talking. Shi Li breathed a sigh of relief and got into his arms again: "To be safe, let's wait until they leave before picking them. Let's take shelter here now and wait patiently for a while."
Their hiding position happened to be the depression between the two stones, which was more suitable for hiding. Chen Jingyan leaned lazily on one of the stones, snapped his fingers to form a barrier, blocking all the wind and snow.
Shi Li didn't feel cold in an instant. After pillowing on him for a long time, she felt a little warmth. She yawned, as if it had infected his laziness, and her speech slowed down: "It seems that it's getting dark. If I had known it, I would have come here earlier."
"Are you sure you can get up?" Chen Jingyan asked back.
Shi Li curled the corners of her lips and closed her eyes and said, "Can you call me."
"Why?" Chen Jingyan raised his eyebrows.
Shi Li snorted: "Just because I am your pet..."
Her last two words did not make a sound, but her lips moved. No matter how good Chen Jingyan's listening was, he could only hear the first four words clearly. When he heard her say that she was his, that wonderful feeling once again came to his heart.
Although it was very strange, it felt so surprising that he suddenly didn't want to wait for the estrus.
Shi Li didn't know what dangerous thoughts came up with Chen Jingyan, and was still muttering to him, but he fell asleep before he could speak for a long time.
She was awakened by a scolding sound. After opening her eyes, she heard a thick male voice: "What a waste. You can pick herbs for so long. In another hour, it will be a snowstorm. Why don't you pack up your things and go back for me!"
Shi Li frowned, probably understanding it. This person should be an elder from Gui'anmen and was scolding those disciples who were collecting herbs.
"He is not kind enough. Since he dislikes others' slow movements, why don't he come by himself at the beginning?" Shi Li said unscrupulously, relying on the barrier.
After saying that, she waited for Chen Jingyan to answer the conversation, but after waiting for a long time, she paused and looked up and happened to meet Chen Jingyan's vertical pupils. His vertical pupils flashed with a deep light. Although they seemed to be in a state of emotion, Shi Li knew that he had reached the extreme anger.
Shi Li was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that the person who betrayed Chen Jingyan and caused him to fail to survive the tribulation seemed to be an elder of Gui'anmen, which was also the reason why he kept asking for trouble for Gui'anmen.
Seeing him like this... Shi Li frowned, and after realizing that he was about to get up, he hurriedly hugged him: "Calm down! You can't beat him!"
While she was talking, Chen Jingyan had completely turned into a snake and rushed out of the barrier.
"Who?!"
Shi Li felt cold and hurriedly ran out to find him. Only then did he find that the people in Gui'anmen had already set up their formations, and obviously had discovered them before Shen Jingyan went out.
She suddenly remembered that Chen Jingyan's cultivation level is not as good as the other party, so his barrier does not exist for that person. As early as when she was speaking, they might have already become wary.
Shi Li complained in his heart, but he still walked firmly behind the big snake, ignoring the situation that was about to break out, begging quietly: "Shangxian, let's go. They are many people and powerful. If we can't beat them, let's make a long-term plan..."
"Who am I supposed to be? It turns out to be Brother Chen," the middle-aged man standing in front of everyone sneered, "Why don't Brother Chen meet in a human form? Could it be that he can't transform himself?"
Shi Li glanced at him in disgust and continued to whisper Chen Jingyan. However, Chen Jingyan did not listen to the advice at all, and threw her away with one tail, and then rushed towards the Gui'anmen people with lightning speed.
When Shi Li was thrown away, she thought she would definitely die this time, but in the end she fell into the thick snow nest without any damage. She struggled to get up and walked towards the top of the mountain with difficulty.
With Chen Jingyan's current cultivation level, it is probably a lot of danger to fight, but if he is willing to escape, those people will not be able to catch up, so she must persuade him to leave.
Shi Li thought about this and speeded up, but after walking a while, she suddenly bumped into something like glass. She was stunned for a moment, looking at the empty road ahead, and trying to reach out her hand.
The hand was pressed against an invisible thing.
She stood stupidly for a long time before she realized that this was a barrier that Chen Jingyan had descended, in order to prevent her from getting closer.
This is really... so bastard! Shi Li was so anxious that he kept fumbled around and moved to the side, until he moved to the edge of the barrier, and then he quickly walked forward.
However, she had been delaying too much time. As soon as she climbed up a small hill, she saw the middle-aged man wielding his sword and stabbed Chen Jingyan. Chen Jingyan had more than a dozen scars on his body, and many scales were overturned, looking bloody.
Shi Li's heart skipped a beat, realizing that even if she could persuade Chen Jingyan, the two of them would not leave easily. If this continues, there would be only one way to die. Shi Li looked at Chen Jingyan and his eyes were red, and she was extremely anxious to have a solution that was not a solution. She turned around and ran to the side.
The howling wind blew across the side of her face like a knife. Shi Li's cheeks turned red and the bones on her body seemed to have fallen apart. But she didn't bother to rest, but rushed into a hidden cave and raised a stone to hit the ferocious beast that was still sleeping inside.
The ferocious beast let out an annoyed roar, and the sound made her ears deaf. Her legs and feet were weak and hit the other person again, until they angered the other person and rushed towards her.
Shi Li was shocked and hurriedly turned around and ran out. When she ran, she could feel the breathing of the ferocious beast. She used the fastest speed in her life to lead the ferocious beast to rush towards the Gui'anmen people. The middle-aged man had already raised his sword to Chen Jingyan, and was about to pierce his heart, but because of the roar of the ferocious beast, he hurriedly waved his sword to deal with it.
The ferocious beast was originally going to Shi Li, but the Gui'anmen people suddenly attacked it, and it fought back angrily. Shi Li let out a long sigh, not caring about the respiratory tract that was painful because of sucking too much cold wind, stumbled towards Chen Jingyan, hugged the huge snake head and asked in a trembling voice: "Are you okay?"
The snake head did not respond.
Shi Li glanced at Gui'anmen and the ferocious beasts who were fighting lively, and tears fell from tears: "I can't touch you. If you still have a little consciousness, can you be stronger? Let's find a place to hide first?"
The snake's head still did not move. Shi Li took a deep breath and tried to drag him away. However, after dragging it for a few times, he finally collapsed and lay on him and cried.
"...It's so noisy." Chen Jingyan said unhappily.
Shi Li was stunned for a moment, raised his head suddenly, and found that Chen Jingyan had turned into a half-human and half-snake at some point. After his transformation, the wound on his body became even more shocking, especially a sword wound on his face, which ran from the left ear to the neck, and blood and flesh were mixed together, completely distorted.
...I could see a face, but now it has been ruined. Shi Li said with a lip of her mouth and was about to cry again.
"The ferocious beasts can't beat them." Chen Jingyan said coldly.
Shi Li paused for a moment, followed his gaze and saw that the ferocious beasts were seriously injured under the encirclement of Gui'anmen... After removing the ferocious beasts, I guess it's time to deal with them, right?
Shi Li swallowed his saliva and looked at Chen Jingyan anxiously: "Can you, can you leave?"
"Hug me tight." Chen Jingyan lowered his eyes.
Shi Li nodded, but hesitated when he reached out to hug him. He had dozens of injuries of all sizes, not even a good place. No matter how she hugged him, she would hurt him.
"Hurry up." Chen Jingyan urged.
Shi Lixin made a move, gritted her teeth and hugged his waist, and then clearly felt his body tense for a moment. Just as she was about to ask if it hurts, Chen Jingyan dragged her away quietly.
The middle-aged man led his disciples to kill the ferocious beast, but when he looked for Chen Jingyan again, he found that it was missing.
"Elder, do you want to chase after me?" A disciple looked at the obvious blood on the snow and turned his head to ask the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man sneered: "He was seriously injured and I was restricted by him. He took a mortal to run away. There was a blizzard soon. They couldn't survive down the mountain. Let's go!"
After the middle-aged man said that, he turned around and was about to leave. The disciples looked at each other, hesitating.
"Why are you still standing there?" the middle-aged man asked angrily.
One of the more courageous disciples whispered: "It's okay if the snake demon dies, but is it a bit bad for mortals... not to save them?"
"That mortal and the snake demon are in the same group. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't have to deal with this ferocious beast. Why are you worried about her? Let's go!" The middle-aged man turned cold.
The others didn't dare to talk stubbornly anymore and hurriedly followed him away.
Chen Jingyan and Shi Li didn't run away as he thought, but hurried into the cave where the ferocious beast was waiting for and fell down. Chen Jingyan was unconscious and Shi Li was still in his arms. After he pressed him down, Shi Li felt like he was going to be crushed to death by him.
She struggled to come out from under him and found that he had transformed into his original form again. Shi Li carefully explored his breath, and after confirming that he was still breathing, she breathed a sigh of relief, and sat next to him without moving.
After a while, a blizzard suddenly broke out outside the cave. After Shi Li's strength recovered, he picked up water from the deep pool naturally formed in the cave to help Chen Jingyan wash the wounds on his body. There are many kinds of plants in the cave, which seem to be full of spiritual energy, but Shi Li dared not pick them for use, for fear that if they were used incorrectly, it would accelerate Chen Jingyan's death.
Fortunately, the pond water is also useful. After washing Chen Jingyan's wound, she found that the wound that had been bleeding had solidified slightly and no new blood was flowing out. She was shocked and supported herself to wash all the wounds of Chen Jingyan, and then she fell to the ground.
Each person and a snake were lying in the cave and each was unconscious. When Shili opened his eyes, the snake next to him was gone. She was shocked and turned her head to see Chen Jingyan soaked in the pool water. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "You are awake."
Chen Jingyan looked at her gloomyly and didn't say anything.
Shi Li knew that he was in a bad mood, and after a moment of silence, he spoke: "Do you have any deep hatred with that person?"
Chen Jingyan did not answer.
"...Don't be angry. When your body recovers, you will definitely get revenge. I believe you." Shili tried to encourage him.
Chen Jingyan lowered his eyes and finally said the first sentence: "Why should I save me?"
"Ah?" Shi Li didn't react.
"Start a ferocious beast alone? I don't know you have such great ability," Chen Jingyan looked at her thoughtfully, and the first time he said such words without mocking, "Do you know how dangerous it is?"
"I know...but there is any way, you can't watch you die in their hands, right?" Shi Li sighed.
Chen Jingyan stopped talking, his eyes full of emotions that she couldn't understand.
The atmosphere in the cave was inexplicably depressed. Shi Li held her body up, patted the dust in her hands, and pretended to be relaxed: "Don't mention those unhappy things, hurry up and take a break. We will leave here and go home to recuperate."
"I can't leave." Chen Jingyan replied.
Shi Li looked at him in confusion.
"The blizzard is too heavy, and the entrance of the cave is crushed by snow. We are trapped here." Chen Jingyan said calmly.
Shi Li: "...Then wait for you to take care of your injuries for another two days. If you have the strength to clear the hole, we will leave."
