Qiu Hou's current condition is horrible. His flesh and skin seem to have dissolved. Countless tiny tree roots are connected to his bloody body, devouring his body like blood-sucking worms. These roots are too deep, and some have even pierced into his heart. They are so densely packed that even Tongzhou's claustrophobia is about to occur.
What should I do about this?
Pull Qiu Hou out directly?
These things on his body, which are connected to his entire body, are torn off rashly. Who knows what will happen?
Xu Zhi knew what was going on after just one look. She said to Chu Xiaoyue, "President, use your ability to cut off these tentacles. Make sure Qiu Hou doesn't bleed after you do that, okay?"
"After rescuing them, I'll have to trouble Senior Sister Su Ran. Ji Muge, you go and help too."
"Me?" Ji Muge pointed at himself in disbelief.
She is a perverted [heart] that only deals damage and has no healing ability at all.
"I need you to use your own blood to lure out the tentacles that are still inside Senior Qiu Hou's body." Xu Zhi simply assigned the task.
"That's fine." Ji Muge nodded.
Chu Xiaoyue didn't say anything, but her actions showed that she was willing to carry out the orders given by Xu Zhi. A cold light flashed in the pit, and the tentacles attached to Qiu Hou's body were all broken off, and Qiu Hou's body was covered with a thin layer of ice to prevent his blood from flowing out.
"Take him, let's go, leave this place and get treatment."
The roots were cut off, and the moment Qiu Hou escaped from the dangerous place, the surrounding trees seemed to start roaring, and the ground shook slightly. Xu Zhi took a look and felt that something was wrong.
A large number of roots are flying towards them, they must leave here immediately!
"Walk!"
Shu Yushan brought Qiu Hou with him, Chu Xiaoyue was responsible for clearing the way, and Tong Zhou was the rear guard. They ran wildly in the direction they came from, trying to get out of the range covered by the trees.
It was uncertain how long it would take to escape the range of the trees in other directions, but the way he came was relatively clear. The roots of the trees behind him were growing quite fast, and Tong Zhou didn't know why the roots of the trees could extend to this extent. He could only keep breaking off the roots that came behind him. Fortunately, he had Xu Zhi's help, so he didn't get too flustered.
The few of them ran non-stop for about half an hour. Finally, there was no longer any huge tree around, only ordinary trees. The roots were finally unable to catch up and stopped chasing them.
"Okay, take a break."
Xu Zhi breathed slightly, her hair was a little messy, and she held the knife tightly in her hand. Even though the environment was still safe, she subconsciously did not relax. But compared to others, she was not so embarrassed.
Needless to say, Qiu Hou was a bloody man at the moment, and there was almost no trace of human form. Tongzhou had suffered the most attacks during the retreat because he was the last one to leave. He was now ragged and covered in dust, and his body was covered with blood from being beaten.
Ji Muge wasn't in much better shape either. As the one with the weakest overall strength, even with some protection from her teammates, she still suffered a lot of injuries in the previous battle. Apart from Xu Zhi, only Chu Xiaoyue was better off. She didn't even use her full strength, and she focused more on protecting her teammates, so naturally she wouldn't be in such a bad state.
"What now?"
Ji Muge looked at Xu Zhi.
She didn't realize that the first person she asked was not the president who was always regarded as "invincible and unsurpassable" by the inner courtyard students, but a freshman school girl whom she had just met.
Xu Zhi thought for a moment and said, "Qiu Hou is unconscious now. Once the tentacles in his body are unfrozen, they will definitely continue to suck blood. Senior Sister Su Ran, maintain Qiu Hou's vital signs. Ji Muge, make a larger wound on your arm and place it in front of Qiu Hou."
"Your Qi and blood are stronger than Qiu Hou's right now. Those tentacles will come towards you. President and Tong Zhou, I need you to crush every tentacle that jumps out and don't let them enter Ji Muge's body."
"Understood." Several people nodded, and then began to carry out Xu Zhi's arrangements.
When the frost on Qiu Hou's body gradually melted, Ji Muge was very reluctant to cut a nearly ten-centimeter cut on his arm with a knife. The [Heart] attribute extraordinary person itself has a more vigorous vitality, and the temptation to the [Cup] is more deadly than Qiu Hou. The tentacles in Qiu Hou's body were almost instantly attracted by Ji Muge's blood, twisting wildly, and drilling out of Qiu Hou's flesh and blood, trying to jump onto Ji Muge's arm impatiently.
This scene was really disgusting. Hundreds of tiny "worms" as thin as needles and threads suddenly appeared on the bloody boy's body. Tong Zhou frowned and resisted the urge to turn his head. Together with Chu Xiaoyue, he killed all the roots that jumped out.
"Okay, that's it. Senior, can you cure him?"
After Xu Zhi finished speaking, Ji Muge breathed a sigh of relief and quickly released the self-healing ability that he had been restraining.
Su Ran examined Qiu Hou's body and frowned slightly. "It's a bit difficult. In addition to the excessive blood loss, his body seems to have been damaged by some extraordinary power. In order to heal him, we must first eliminate the extraordinary power that still remains in his body."
Xu Zhi's eyes flickered slightly: "I can handle this."
She naturally knew that what remained in Qiu Hou's body was the residual energy of the [Cup] attribute. These energies would cause Qiu Hou to fall into a coma, and in more serious cases, he would be infected by the [Cup] and become a believer.
But, [Light] can dispel it.
She did not mention how to solve it, but just moved closer, then touched Qiu Hou's forehead with one finger. Through the function of [Prying Eyes], she accurately found the location where the breath of [Cup] remained, controlled the [Light] attribute in her body to enter it, and dispelled these breaths one by one.
Thanks to Qiu Hou's coma and the contamination of the [Cup] in his body, his body would not actively resist the entry of other extraordinary energies. During this period, because Qiu Hou himself was not of the [Lamp] attribute, he felt a little rejection and his body twitched slightly, but fortunately Su Ran was beside him and no further injuries were caused.
"alright."
This kind of delicate work is not a problem for Xu Zhi now, but if others knew that she could control extraordinary energy so precisely to move in other people's bodies, they would probably be shocked.
Upon hearing this, Su Ran tried to treat Qiu Hou again, and sure enough, this time the treatment went smoothly.
She breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, I have my junior schoolmate."
Xu Zhi smiled modestly and didn't say much. Ji Muge, who was standing by, glanced at Xu Zhi secretly and thought, could this little devil actually be a good person?
They did not know that Xu Zhi had concealed the existence of the [Cup], nor did they know that Xu Zhi had just completely eliminated the aura of the [Cup] from Qiu Hou. Now, no one would know that they had encountered the [Cup].
After all, in the Lost Land, there are many extraordinary creatures that eat meat and drink blood, and humans are just a kind of food. No one would doubt that this is the long-lost [Cup].
The [cup] has not yet been put into their subconscious.
