Chapter 37
Jitang tried his best to wink at Su Jinzhou.
The sea beast's pupils were larger than Su Jinzhou's body, not to mention his eyes. In the eyes of the sea beast, they were at most the size of flying insects. As long as they didn't move, they would probably be ignored by the sea beast.
Jitang looked at Shutong nervously, hoping that it could go back the way it came.
His vertical pupils narrowed slightly and he blinked.
Jitang saw that its eyelids were uneven, like a pile of coral stones.
The next moment, the sea water surged and the sea beasts moved. The huge waves generated pushed Ji Tang and Su Jinzhou out suddenly. They rolled along the current. The magic weapons were useless and both of them were instantly soaked.
Su Jinzhou grabbed Jitang and quickly went upstream.
The sea beast was enormous, and its entire body was covered with hides like eyelids, seemingly covered with layers of coral. From a distance, it looked like a massive, stacked up deep-sea reef.
When it is still, it merges with the deep sea, but whenever it moves, it will stir up huge waves, causing the deep sea to surge and boil.
The monks riding on the sea dragon boat sank into the sea together, and each used their magical powers to survive.
The reason why the sea beast suddenly left was that it was attracted by the magic cast by the monk.
Ji Tang tried his best to hold his breath, his chest felt tight. It seemed that Su Jinzhou was also nearing his limit.
She swam upstream desperately and could already see the faint light above.
Just when she thought she was about to float to the surface, her body was suddenly pushed upwards by Su Jinzhou.
She was stunned for a moment, and when she saw the two men, one above and one below, she quickly looked down, her eyes suddenly widening.
A water-based spell from the Water Condensation Sword disturbed the school of fish beneath their feet and attracted the sea beasts again.
Ji Tang didn't even have time to see who was blaming her for the trouble, before she saw Su Jinzhou, who was lagging behind, trying his best to push her up.
The sea beast slowly opened its mouth, creating a whirlpool. Two rows of teeth, identical to those of a shark, were exposed. Blood dripped from the gaps between its teeth, which were filled with various fish bones and meat.
Su Jinzhou used his spiritual power to support Ji Tang's feet, continuously pushing her upwards, and also allocated some spiritual power to resist the whirlpool.
However, the sea beast was close at hand, and its sharp shark teeth pierced Su Jinzhou's spiritual power wall that protected him from the whirlpool. Half of Su Jinzhou's body was covered by the beast's mouth, and the beast's mouth closed tightly.
Ji Tang's eyes were bloodshot!
Things happened so fast that Ji Tang only saw Su Jinzhou controlling his spiritual power to dodge upwards and bend his legs at the last second before the shark's teeth closed.
Immediately afterwards, a large amount of dazzling blood gushed out from Su Jinzhou's legs, quickly spreading all over Ji Tang's body, and then spreading to farther places.
A string of bubbles came out of Su Jinzhou's mouth, but he could not make a sound in the deep sea.
The spiritual power pushing Jitang increased instead of decreased, instantly lifting Jitang higher.
But after a moment, the upward force suddenly disappeared.
Ji Tang's eyes were red and the back of her head hurt, but she didn't have the mind to think about it.
Push off with your feet and use your hands to dive into the water.
Su Jinzhou was still holding her up, but he was no longer moving.
Ji Tang desperately absorbed the nightmare energy from the nightmare card in her sea of consciousness. The thick and heavy nightmare energy instantly filled her body. She felt that her whole body was about to burst by the nightmare energy. She folded her hands together, poured all the nightmare energy in her body, and made a hand gesture of the water spell Tidal Cage, and covered the beast's mouth.
The tidal cage passed by Su Jinzhou, and the powerful nightmare energy wave pushed Su Jinzhou far away.
Ji Tang didn't even see what damage the tidal cage caused to the sea beasts. Almost the moment the spell was cast, she swam towards Su Jinzhou.
The whirlpool kept blocking her, but she gritted her teeth and held on. When her body was sucked into the whirlpool, she relied on the nightmare energy she continuously absorbed to break free. After doing this countless times, she finally swam to Su Jinzhou.
The moment Ji Tang grabbed Su Jinzhou with both hands, he immediately used the nightmare energy to penetrate into his body, activating the nightmare essence flame upper technique, trying to force the sea water out, and at the same time seal the acupoints around Su Jinzhou's wound.
The nightmare energy does not have a healing effect on cultivators like spiritual power, but she really doesn't know what to do. Compared to the damage caused by the nightmare energy to Su Jinzhou, the injury on his leg and the suffocation are more deadly.
Ji Tang was at a loss and simply moved closer to Su Jinzhou.
Their lips touched, and Su Jinzhou's lips were icy cold without any warmth.
Can I breathe? That's what it says in the storybooks.
She didn't know anything about medicine, so she just tried everything she could think of.
Ji Tang struggled to pry open Su Jinzhou's cold lips and tried his best to pass his breath to him.
But the tiny bubbles coming out of the sea water silently told Ji Tang that she was doing useless work.
This breath instantly drained Ji Tang's energy. She was in a daze, and only her hands subconsciously clutched Su Jinzhou's sleeves tightly, trying to push him up, hoping to make him float to the surface of the sea.
When Ji Tang was about to close his eyes, he vaguely saw a figure swimming towards them. It was blurry and Ji Tang was not sure if it was an illusion.
Then I knew nothing.

When Jitang woke up again, he found himself lying on a soft bed and smelled a bitter smell of medicine.
She sprang up suddenly, a sharp pain running through her body.
Someone exclaimed, "What are you doing?"
Hearing the sound, Jitang looked outside the door and saw a tall man in white clothes walking in quickly, holding a bowl of steaming medicine in his hand.
He glared at Jitang, "You can't move, go back!"
"Excuse me, have you seen the person with me? A man in a moon-white robe, with a wound on his leg, who looks..."
"Okay, you don't have to be so detailed. He was sent here with you. He's in the next room and hasn't woken up yet."
Ji Tang asked hurriedly: "How is he? Can his leg be saved? When will he wake up? Can I go see him?"
The man showed impatience at her question. He put down the medicine bowl and pushed Jitang back to the bed.
He said, "You can save your legs, but you should take care of yourself first!"
Jitang: "I'm fine, I want to go..."
"You don't want to," the man tapped Jitang's arm. Jitang hissed suddenly, shaking like a sieve. He snorted, "Are you acting like you're okay? You were hurt enough by the bounce just now, and you still want to get out of bed? You're dreaming."
Ji Tang bared his teeth and asked worriedly, "Isn't that the one wearing moon-white clothes? His leg is seriously injured. There's a moon-white ribbon on his hair crown, and blue pearls are hanging on his head. He looks very handsome..."
The man said angrily: "Drink medicine!"
Ji Tang was stuffed with a mouthful of bitter soup, and his breath became weaker, but he still did not give up, "He is in the late stage of spiritual silence. I'm sorry, I was afraid of recognizing the wrong person, his physical condition cannot be delayed!"
After being stuffed with a few more mouthfuls of medicine, Ji Tang's face wrinkled.
The man put the empty bowl aside and waved his hand. A shadow appeared in front of Ji Tang's eyes. The shadow gradually became clearer, and Ji Tang saw Su Jinzhou lying on the bed in the picture.
The layout of his room was not much different from Jitang's, and the pattern of the bedding was the same.
Ji Tang breathed a sigh of relief.
She gritted her teeth and tried to get up, but she couldn't get up after trying for a long time.
The man glared at her, "What are you making such a fuss about?"
Ji Tang had no other choice but to raise his hands with all his strength, trembling as he bowed to the man, saying sincerely, "Thank you very much, Senior. If you need me in the future, please feel free to ask for my help."
The man was slightly startled when he heard this. He held his breath, the impatience in his eyes faded, and he took the bowl and left.
Ji Tang felt relieved now, her body suddenly relaxed, but the pain became more pronounced. She fell asleep again in a daze.
As night falls, I wake up slowly in the boat.
When the man brought the medicine into the house, he saw that one of Su Jinzhou's legs had fallen to the ground, the injured leg was curled up, his body was shaking, his face was pale, and he was about to fall down in the next second.
He sighed and said, "It's so troublesome!"
After the man said this, he didn't plan to push the man back to lie down, nor did he plan to feed him medicine. With Ji Tangmo in front of him, he simply put the phantom in front of Su Jinzhou for him to see.
When the man saw him finish reading in silence, his frail but cold face relaxed for a moment. After bowing and thanking him, he actually walked out with his sword in hand.
The man shook his head, "One more stubborn than the other!" He put down the medicine bowl and turned to leave.
The two houses were adjacent to each other and only a short distance apart, but it took a long time to get there by boat.
He came to Jitang's bed and saw that Jitang's neck and exposed wrists were wrapped with curtains, his eyes full of pity.
Jitang's complexion wasn't much better than Su Jinzhou's. She was sleeping very soundly, with some brown stains from Chinese medicine at the corners of her mouth.
Su Jinzhou raised his hand and gently wiped it off, then sat on the edge of the bed with his sword in hand. He wanted to put her exposed arm into the thin quilt, but was afraid of hurting her.
The room was so quiet that only the breathing of the two people could be heard.
After a while, the man came to the door again and said calmly, "Do you want to stay here forever?"
Su Jinzhou nodded silently.
The man emphasized: "Your injury is more serious than hers."
Su Jinzhou's voice was hoarse, "Senior, what happened to her?"
The man leaned against the door frame. "She bore a force beyond her capacity. Her meridians were damaged and nearly burst from the force, so her skin naturally cracked. Fortunately, she didn't bear this force for too long. The wounds on her body are now only fine cracks, and they have all healed..."
He suddenly met Su Jinzhou's sharp gaze and curled his lips, "I've already found a female cultivator to apply medicine and bandage her. She's wrapped up in a shroud and looks a bit seriously injured, but she'll recover soon. It's just that the damaged meridians will need some time to heal."
"As for you," he looked at Su Jinzhou's left leg, "if you want to save your left leg, you'd better go back and lie down now. As for the demon pill in your body..."
Su Jinzhou listened quietly.
The man spread his hands and said, "Human potential is infinite. In your desperation, you broke through the sealed Jindan demon elixir within your body. You were extremely lucky not to explode and die on the spot."
"This little girl forcefully absorbed nightmare energy that didn't belong to her, while you broke the seal and absorbed demonic energy, both of you risking your life. The only difference is that she absorbed energy from the same source, so at most she would be in excruciating pain, but she wouldn't actually die. But you, practicing alone, trying to absorb demonic beast energy, the result is predictable. If you don't cooperate with the treatment, the only option left is death."
He asked, "Do you want to remain intact, or explode into pieces?"
Su Jinzhou: "..."
A woman walked in from outside the door and said, "Alright, stop scaring them. They are just children. Why are you bullying them?"
The man turned around, and the woman behind him walked past him into the room and smiled at Su Jinzhou, "If you're worried, just put the bed next to this girl and we can get treatment together."
Su Jinzhou forced himself to stand up and salute.
The woman helped him sit down. "I gave you and this little girl the Seven Herbs Hemp Powder. It only temporarily blocks your sense of pain, but it has no healing effect. You must not move again, or even a god will be unable to heal you."
The woman was secretly surprised. Given Su Jinzhou's current condition, it was a miracle that he could move. The fact that he could come this far showed that his obsession was very deep.
"You've seen her too, maybe you'll feel relieved?"
Su Jinzhou: "Thank you very much, Senior. What's your name? How did we get here?"
The woman said, "We can talk about this later. The child who brought you to the surface is still unconscious. His physical condition is far inferior to yours, but his injuries are not serious, so you don't have to worry."
The boat was silent all night long.
He didn't know who brought them to the surface of the sea, but he would always remember this kindness.
There was soon a bed in the room, which was moved in using a storage bag.
Su Jinzhou saluted the man and was lifted up by a spiritual power.
The man waved his hand, "Alright, alright, didn't you hear what she just said?"
Su Jinzhou said in a deep voice: "Senior, I will never forget your kindness. I will wait..."
The other party directly cast a silencing spell on him.
Su Jinzhou drank the medicine in a few gulps, lay down quietly, and looked sideways at Jitang.
The medicine took effect quickly, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he fell asleep soon.
