Chapter 171 Youth
Pure white scales are very beautiful, and the soft armor made from them will also be very beautiful.
Shen Jufeng mentioned several other items, but the others didn’t matter. What was important was the rewards dropped by wild monsters.
The snake bones are too big to be taken out. If they are placed on the ground and others pass by and see them, it is possible that they might get into trouble.
He divided the items equally via email. Lu Jiu didn't want the mount model prop, as she already had all four forms of the mount, so it was useless for her to have it. In the end, Shen Jufeng and Zhuang Yun split it equally.
"It's a good start today. I feel like I'll encounter some pretty strong wild monsters later." Lu Jiu said as he touched his new bow.
But it's a pity that the battle with the two snow pythons happened so suddenly that she forgot to secretly take the Body Tempering Pill.
Zhuang Yun took a deep breath and said, "No, let's take a break first. I feel exhausted after dealing with the bronze-level monsters."
In the past, he only had this feeling when dealing with two or three groups of brown iron mutant-level monsters, which shows how difficult bronze-level monsters are to deal with.
Seeing that his two teammates were still full of energy, Zhuang Yun could only envy them. Could it be that he was getting old?
Lu Jiu felt a little weak. She was in good spirits because of the effect of the body-tempering pill. However, she was a professional resident of the city now and could not tell Zhuang Yun about this.
"Let's rest for a while. We came out late, and there was a blizzard just now, so there don't seem to be many monsters around."
They wandered around for nearly two hours from the time they left the city to the time they encountered the snow python, and it was already noon.
After Lu Jiu finished speaking, his stomach started to growl. After the fight, his stomach was empty. "It's a good time to have lunch."
The three of them found a suitable location and set up a tent.
When they came out to clear the fields, they would basically eat the food cooked by Zhuang Yun. It was too cold today, so Zhuang Yun decided to make some spicy stewed lamb chops.

In the silent jungle, a figure staggered forward.
The young man held the trunk of the giant tree with his gloved hands. His face was pale and his lips were slightly purple. With a breath, the mist in front of his eyes was almost invisible.
He pulled his collar closer, trying to retain some of the remaining warmth on his body.
He didn't remember how long he had been walking aimlessly like this. If he couldn't find his destination, he might die.
After walking for a while, he seemed to smell a spicy smell in the air that made his mouth water. It was the smell of food.
Is there anyone around here?
The boy didn't know if he was hallucinating. He was hungry and scared, but there was no other way out.
He followed the smell and headed in one direction.
Lu Jiu was originally setting the table so that they could eat later. She only made one dish today, but this full pot was enough for the three of them.
Amid the clash of dishes and chopsticks, Shen Jufeng suddenly stopped.
Lu Jiu immediately noticed his movements and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Jufeng placed his index finger on his lips, signaling for silence.
When Lu Jiu and Zhuang Yun saw this, they immediately stopped what they were doing, held their breath, and tried to listen for any movement.
But Zhuang Yun heard nothing, while Lu Jiu and Shen Jufeng seemed to have heard something and looked in the same direction.
He was completely confused. Could it be that his five senses had degenerated after he fought a bronze-level monster?
"It seems like someone is walking this way." Lu Jiu said.
It wasn't far from them, but Zhuang Yun, whose five senses had not been tempered, couldn't hear it.
Shen Jufeng stood up and said, "Let's go out and take a look."
Zhuang Yun brought the cooked food to the table, covered the pot, and followed the two out.
After walking about a hundred meters, Lu Jiu saw a figure walking towards him with a crooked step, like a drunkard.
Lu Jiu: "Did you drink too much?"
Their city-state restaurants sell alcohol, but few people are extravagant enough to get drunk.
Shen Jufeng did not stop and the others continued to move forward. When they got closer, Lu Jiu realized that the person seemed to be injured somewhere. When they were very close, the other party did not realize that someone was approaching him.
When the man looked up, Zhuang Yun saw that it was a teenager, who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, very young, and still had an unfamiliar face.
At this time, the young man's face was pale. When he saw them, his lips, which were dry and cracked due to lack of moisture, opened and closed, but no sound came out.
These are people in very poor physical condition, and Shen Jufeng is walking in front.
The young man closed his eyes, fainted, and fell directly onto the snow.
The three of them hurried over to check. Zhuang Yun let the boy lean on his legs and touched his face, which was cold.
"It seems that he is sick. Do you want to take him back?"
Shen Jufeng thought for a moment and looked at Lu Jiu, only to see that the other party seemed to be thinking about something.
But Lu Jiu still nodded and said, "Take it back."
They lifted the boy up, placed him on Zhuang Yun's back and carried him back to the tent.
The three of them looked at the unconscious boy and had no choice but to feed him a pill to treat pneumonia.
Zhuang Yun placed the heating stove next to the boy and said, "Why is this kid alone in the wild? I think we should take him back to the city and see the pharmacy manager."
Lu Jiu was sitting next to him, holding her chin with her hand and looking at the young man's face. Seeing her like this, Shen Jufeng asked, "Do you know him?"
Lu Jiu nodded. "He probably doesn't recognize me, but I've seen him before. Forget it, let's take him back. We don't know how long he's been in the wild, or if he has any other negative conditions."
As she said that, she stood up and started to pack her things. Shen Jufeng didn't say much and followed suit.
Zhuang Yun stuffed his mini heater into the boy's clothes.
After packing up the things in the tent, Lu Jiu took out his swing and helped the boy onto it. Once he sat on it, it was as if he was fixed in place invisibly, and Lu Jiu didn't even need to support him.
Lu Jiu: "You don't need mounts, just use your wings to keep up."
The two teammates nodded.
The three of them returned to the city gate. Lu Jiu helped the boy down, and Zhuang Yun carried him to the pharmacy.
Inside the drugstore, the teenager was placed on the sofa, and the store manager came over to check on him.
"The negative status of pneumonia is recovering. He still has frostbite and needs external application of medicine. His Qi and blood values are also very low, already below 30%."
They could tell that the boy was sick, but his Qi and blood values were below 30%. He must be so poor that he didn't even have medicine to replenish his Qi and blood.
"Where is his frostbite?" Lu Jiu asked.
"Hands and knees." He took out a transparent medicine bottle filled with milky white ointment and said, "Apply this to the frostbitten area. It will be healed by tomorrow."
I also gave him a bottle of tonic.
It was still troublesome for Zhuang Yunlai to apply the medicine. Winter clothes were too thick, and it was not convenient to roll up the trouser legs directly from the ankles, so he had to take them off and then apply the medicine.
The pharmacy has a lounge where NPCs stay, and the manager asked Zhuang Yun to take people there to apply medicine.
Shen Jufeng then asked Lu Jiu about the young man, "Where did you see him?"
Lu Jiu thought about it, "Before I met you, I actually had a deep impression of him. He was so excited when he got the skill card that he directly revealed the content of the skill. He was even targeted by others, but he ran away quickly."
She still remembered that it was a skill called Transformation, which could absorb 50% of the damage and convert it into her own health, similar to her Bloodthirsty skill.
Shen Jufeng understood, "That might be a professional player. How did he end up alone in the wild?"
Lu Jiu was also puzzled, "Maybe he didn't get the professional card."
