Chapter 503 Attacking the Red Mist Mountain Ridge 12
Zhong Cai slightly raised his palm, and the woman in front of him, whose body was covered with sores, automatically opened her mouth. Then he picked up a small bottle and poured three drops of medicine into her mouth.
The woman let out a bloodcurdling scream, and the sores all over her body rapidly shrank, as if they had been drained and dried out by some invisible energy.
Soon, the skin on the sores also cracked open.
Her body, which was originally ugly and hideous, was still covered by old skin and looked quite ferocious. But when the woman raised her hand and tore off the skin, her original beautiful appearance was revealed.
The woman felt a wave of relief wash over her, and all the previous excruciating pain vanished. As she circulated her profound energy again, an overwhelming pressure ripped away all the dead skin on her body.
She sat up abruptly, cupped her hands to Zhong Cai, and said gratefully, "Thank you, King Zhong Dan. Otherwise, if I had been in pain for another three or five days, I'm afraid I would have died."
Zhong Cai smiled and said, "No need to be so polite, Miss Cui, please go and rest."
The female cultivator surnamed Cui readily agreed, walked to the side, and swallowed the pill.
Once she has fully recovered her profound energy, she will continue to participate in the battle.
This boil has caused her great harm. While waiting for King Zhongdan to treat her, she wasted more than a month of her time and almost lost her life. Fortunately, she can come back again now.
Miss Cui quickly closed her eyes, unwilling to delay any longer.
·
Zhong Cai ignored the patient's condition, accepted the thanks as usual, and walked a few steps to the side. There she saw a male cultivator covered in pustules. His condition was even worse than that of Miss Cui, but in reality, he was not as severely poisoned as Miss Cui, though they were somewhat similar.
The male cultivator's eyes revealed anticipation as he saw Zhong Cai approaching.
Zhong Cai followed the same method, opening the male cultivator's mouth and pouring in two drops of medicinal liquid.
Soon, the male cultivator recovered to a large extent, but because the poison he had been afflicted with was different from that of Miss Cui, after the pustules on his body receded and the dead skin fell off, a layer of light gray spots remained.
The toxicity was quite simple. Zhong Cai then processed it again, creating a new antidote, and thus the problem was properly resolved.
The male cultivator breathed a sigh of relief, reacting much like Miss Cui, and quickly made way for her.
·
Zhong Cai then approached the third person, the fourth person...
The poisons in this batch are very complex, with several components overlapping. Each type of poison can be partially removed with a single medication before proceeding with further treatment.
Zhong Cai was quite skilled; he had made countless similar detoxification solutions before.
Never failed.
After finishing this batch, Zhong Cai walked to the wall.
Then, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
A tall, imposing figure, straddling the ground, with swollen, fist-sized cheeks, bulges on his forehead and head resembling many horns, and skin with a bluish hue all over his body…
This guy has become so depraved that even his own mother probably wouldn't recognize him.
But Zhong Cai knew him.
This thing…who else could it be but his unlucky, cheap nephew, Wu Dongxiao?!
After all, it's only this thing that, despite being a grown man, is still dragging his senior brother around, howling in pain.
The wails grew even louder when he walked over.
That's fucking outrageous.
Has the protagonist of this world been spoiled by him and Old Wu?!
·
Zhong Cai's eyelids twitched, and she barely managed to compose herself before asking Xuan Bing, who was standing by with worry in his eyes, "Senior Brother Xuan, what's wrong with Dong Xiao this time?"
Xuan Bing glanced at Wu Dongxiao silently and said succinctly, "A series of traps."
Zhong Cai understood immediately.
Anyway, there's no need to go into any more details.
This kid always manages to step on all sorts of landmines, causing a series of reactions, and the result is always a mess.
Nearly a year ago, Zhong Cai first discovered that his nephew, who was also waiting for detoxification, was among the patients, and he witnessed the extent of his misfortune. Later, he would come intermittently, at least once a month, and it was common for him to suffer serious troubles such as broken arms and legs and loss of internal organs (caused by the poison rather than simply missing them).
This time it looks a bit creepy, but the limbs are intact and the internal organs are undamaged, so the toxins probably didn't penetrate deep into the internal organs... It should just be that there are more types, and this kid came here to solve the problem as soon as possible.
Actually, if the kid himself studied hard for a longer period of time, he might be able to solve the problem on his own.
The kid comes over often, probably because he's looking for an uncle like him to dump all the trouble on him, so the kid can save himself the trouble.
·
Zhong Cai squatted down and grabbed Wu Dongxiao's chin.
Wu Dongxiao's microphone was forcibly muted, and he could no longer howl.
Xuan Bing silently walked to the side without saying a word.
When Wu Dongxiao met Uncle Zhong's serious face, he subconsciously shrank back.
"...Ugh, soothing..."
Zhong Cai ignored his vague form of address and just gave a cold laugh.
Wu Dongxiao obediently stuck out his tongue.
Zhong Cai immediately noticed that the thing had been dyed green.
He then parted Wu Dongxiao's hair and found that his scalp was dark red, his fingernails were grayish-black, and the whites of his eyes were enlarged...
It's truly a poison with a vibrant array of colors.
In terms of complexity, this "protagonist" among Zhong Cai's patients always brings him an unusual sense of novelty.
·
Half an hour later.
Zhong Cai eliminated all the toxins from Wu Dongxiao's body.
Wu Dongxiao sat up, grimacing and hissing as if he were in excruciating pain, and shouted, "Uncle Zhong! You can't be so heartless just because your little uncle can't be with you right now!"
Zhong Cai curled her lips into a smile, and a three-inch-long needle pierced Wu Dongxiao's body with a "whoosh," causing him to cry out in pain.
This is certainly not a vicious acupuncture technique; it's simply a therapy used to unblock meridians, where needling is optional.
There were no blocked meridians in Wu Dongxiao's body, but Zhong Cai deliberately guided them to cause him some pain.
At the same time, it's also to make this kid more cautious and remember the lessons learned.
—In the past, every time he treated Wu Dongxiao, he would make him feel pain at the end as a reminder.
Seeing that Zhong Cai was about to give him another injection with a half-smile, Wu Dongxiao pulled out the needle himself and threw it to Zhong Cai. He then scrambled up and jumped up, pulling Xuan Bing along as they ran outside.
As he ran, he continued to shout in a low voice, "See you in a while!"
Zhong Cai: "..."
In the blink of an eye, even Wu Dongxiao's shadow had vanished.
Wu Dongxiao disappeared in a flash.
Before leaving, Xuan Bing managed to find a moment to wave goodbye to Zhong Cai.
Zhong Cai: "..."
He rolled his eyes and moved on to the next person's detoxification.
The other patients were different from Wu Dongxiao, his adopted nephew; without exception, they were all extremely serious and dared not make a single joke.
Zhong Cai only dealt with their problems; she didn't take the opportunity to play around or relax.
Before long, he produced a new batch of antidote.
·
Since Zhong Cai started working on this, she has been able to save at least ten patients every day, even in the very beginning.
Once he became proficient, all the poisoned cultivators were saved by Zhong Cai.
Of course, war is extremely cruel, and even if Zhong Cai were incredibly skilled, it was impossible for all patients to be able to wait for him to come and save them in time—a considerable number of them would have already died before that.
It can only be said that Zhong Cai successfully saved every patient who was placed in her care.
This is already an incredibly high success rate.
At the same time, as more and more patients were brought in, Zhong Cai, who was initially very close to Wu Shaogan, gradually became too busy to go out with him anymore.
After taking the antidote pill carefully selected by Zhong Cai, Wu Shaogan stood at the city gate and fired arrows to kill the enemy.
Even if the ancient city is well-defended, Zhong Cai still had to give him the best antidote, just in case.
Every cultivator who was allowed to ascend the ancient city was only permitted to do so after being inspected by Wu Shaogan.
·
City gate.
Wu Shaogan climbed to a high place and looked into the distance.
Over the past year, the two sides have fought fiercely, with Nirvana cultivators engaging in chaotic battles and causing enormous damage to the entire Red Mist Mountain Range.
However, the Poison Toad Ancestor has yet to reveal its true form.
He didn't reveal himself, which meant the highest level of battle hadn't started yet, so Ji Pei and his wife naturally didn't make a move.
The reason for not taking action...
The most likely explanation is that the Poison Toad Ancestor believes his poison skills are superior and can wear down the righteous path, so he doesn't want to immediately confront Pei Xiaoling in battle.
Even the residual force of a great battle that reaches the heavens will inevitably lead to countless deaths and injuries.
Moreover, neither side would tolerate the other having a large number of troops available to withdraw while they are fighting.
This time it's a fight to the death.
·
Wu Shaogan calmly drew his bow while subtly sensing the surroundings.
He could vaguely sense that somewhere high in the sky above this battlefield, there were several other powerful beings hidden. They seemed to be wary of each other, belonging to the righteous and evil paths respectively. They were probably not there to join the war, but merely to observe.
In some places, the atmosphere is lively, which is probably just people joining in the fun.
Wu Shaogan thought casually, wondering if there were other people among them who had been tricked by Wu Tian? A Cai would probably be interested.
·
In fact, there really is.
Moreover, not long ago, the Golden Dragon Ancestor was forcibly dragged out of the sea and brutally beaten to death, his tendons torn apart and his skin peeled off.
At the same time, the power of the Golden Dragon Ancestor was directly shattered, and most of the evil cultivators were instantly killed. Those strange creatures that tried to escape were almost all blocked and slaughtered.
However, since the main target was the Golden Dragon Ancestor, it seems that his forces were just doing it incidentally, or perhaps venting their anger? There were quite a few who escaped the net... and were hunted down by many righteous forces.
In addition, four or five level-eight evil forces were destroyed, which was personally eliminated by Tongtian.
One or two level-nine forces have experienced some major turmoil for unknown reasons.
Then there's the Nine Sounds Sect. They launched a fierce battle against the Sun-Covering Alliance, but the Sun-Covering Alliance's strength was beyond imagination. The battle resulted in extremely heavy casualties on both sides, and the righteous path was gradually losing ground, forcing them to call upon many more experts to go...
