Chapter 295 Third Senior Brother Arrives
With this ever-growing thought in her heart, Jiang Ruzhen risked her life to protect the person in her arms and delivered a heavy blow to the first water monkey that pounced on her.
The water monkey seemed startled, letting out a sharp, piercing scream before retreating and disappearing beneath the dark water.
Before Jiang Ruzhen could catch her breath, more water monkeys surfaced one after another.
Under the mist, they opened their mouths, revealing rows of sharp teeth, each breath carrying the putrid smell of a swamp.
Faced with the evil spirit that was about to devour her life, Jiang Ruzhen struggled to fight back.
But the water monkeys suddenly sped up their movements, as if they could teleport, sometimes on this side, sometimes in the water, their blurry figures appearing and disappearing in the mist.
Jiang Ruzhen felt a chill in her heart; she knew that this time, her chances of survival were slim.
She kept pushing her limits, exhausting her mental energy to attack the water monkeys that pounced on her.
Meanwhile, she struggled to drag Lu Mingzheng little by little as he crawled out.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Ruzhen felt her body temperature gradually drop, and her life force was being continuously drained from her body.
Blood kept flowing from her nose, then her eyes, then her ears...
Finally, she coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Her vision blurred, and she knew she was about to give up...
Lu Mingzheng, I tried my best...
Jiang Ruzhen used her last bit of strength to try to enter the space again, but failed and collapsed to the ground, unable to move.
My head was throbbing with excruciating pain, as if it were about to explode.
More than a dozen water monkeys pounced on her, ready to tear her to pieces. She smiled bitterly and rolled over to shield Lu Mingzheng with her body, preparing to use her fragile body to withstand the storm.
But at this critical moment, she saw the surrounding mist split open by a white light, and a god with golden light all over his body descended from the sky.
His sword, crackling with purple electricity, swept across the surrounding water monkeys.
"Sizzle—"
After a series of screams, nothing grew within a radius of several miles, and even the evil tree that had been tempting Jiang Ruzhen fell down.
"You audacious evil creature, how dare you harm human lives! You deserve to die!"
The immortal landed steadily on the ground, and the moment he sheathed his sword, the surrounding mist suddenly dissipated, and golden sunlight shone brightly on the earth.
The deity was bathed in golden light, making him appear like a celestial war god, which inexplicably instilled feelings of inferiority and fear in others.
Seeing that the newcomer was too powerful, the fat woman immediately tried to flee, dragging her obese body.
But the deity simply raised a finger and pointed it at the fat woman, who immediately screamed and turned into a cloud of blood mist, dead beyond any hope of survival.
Jiang Ruzhen, clinging to her last breath, watched as the person approached her step by step.
She raised the corners of her mouth proudly and called out, "Third Senior Brother..." before tilting her head and fainting.
Qi Yuefeng raised an eyebrow, a hint of appreciation in his eyes, and calmly took out a pill from his pocket and fed it to Jiang Ruzhen.
He casually touched the red lotus on her chest, and Jin Sheng and Xiao He immediately rolled out of the space.
The moment the two saw Qi Yuefeng, they immediately acted like two children looking for their parents, each grabbing one of Qi Yuefeng's arms to complain and vent their grievances.
"Third Senior Brother, you've finally arrived! Thank goodness you're here..." Jin Sheng, a tough man, actually had tears welling up in his eyes.
"Third Senior Brother, there's an evil creature... Waaaaah... If you hadn't come soon, we wouldn't have seen each other again... Why are you so late... Waaaaah... We're trapped and can't get out... Waaaaah... I thought Junior Sister was going to die... Waaaaah..."
Xiao He, without any restraint, cried so hard that he almost threw himself into Qi Yuefeng's arms and begged for comfort.
Qi Yuefeng looked at the two of them with a headache, and helplessly tried to pull his arm, but it didn't budge.
"Aren't you two ashamed? Don't you have any dignity in front of your junior sister?"
"Junior Sister has fainted," Jin Sheng stated the fact, his grip on her hand never loosening.
"Junior Sister can't see, so I'm the youngest junior brother now. Third Senior Brother, you have to spoil me." Xiao He hugged Qi Yuefeng's arm and shamelessly acted coquettishly, without feeling embarrassed at all.
"You two, although you're a bit stronger than our junior sister in terms of magic, your character is far inferior to hers," Qi Yuefeng said, bluntly belittling his two junior brothers.
Instead of feeling ashamed, the two were proud and praised Jiang Ruzhen's heroic actions since joining the team.
Qi Yuefeng became more and more satisfied as he listened.
"Hmm, not bad. You've done a good job taking in this junior sister. You'll be credited for this. However, you failed to protect her during this mission, causing her to get injured. Since your merits and demerits cancel each other out, you won't be punished."
The two of them didn't care at all; they didn't care about rewards or punishments. As long as everyone was doing well, that was more important than anything else.
Xiao He turned his head and saw Lu Mingzheng lying next to Jiang Ruzhen. He hesitated and said, "Third Senior Brother, this Lu is a key air force genius being groomed by the country. Shouldn't we save him?"
Qi Yuefeng looked at him in surprise. "Our bureau never interferes in the fate of mortals, have you forgotten?"
"But..." Xiao He wanted to say something more, but Jin Sheng stopped him.
"Little Lu will be treated by his junior sister. Our medicine is ultimately too potent for mortals."
Xiao He thought about it and realized that made sense, so he could only hope that Comrade Xiao Lu could get through this on his own.
......
When Jiang Ruzhen woke up again, she found herself lying on the village chief's bed.
The anxious faces of senior brothers Jin Sheng and Xiao He came into view. The room was filled with a quiet atmosphere, mixed with the unique fragrance of herbs and sandalwood.
Jin Sheng smiled with relief, "Third Senior Brother's medicine is really powerful; you woke up in just half an hour."
Xiao He pushed Jin Sheng aside and said anxiously, "Junior Sister, thank goodness you're awake. Quickly get Xiao Lu into your spiritual spring water, or he'll really die soon."
Jiang Ruzhen was startled and quickly got up, but then felt a sudden dizziness.
"Oh, you don't need to get up. I've already placed Xiao Lu next to you; you can touch him with just a touch."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruzhen did not hesitate any longer and quickly put Lu Mingzheng into the spiritual spring pool to soak.
She went in and drank a few mouthfuls of the spiritual spring water. Her head was still throbbing, but it was much better than before.
She got up to check on Lu Mingzheng and discovered that the black blood was no longer seeping from the wound on his chest.
The skin has returned to its pink color.
It seems the toxins have been eliminated by his senior brothers. Lu Mingzheng's breathing is even now, as if he were asleep.
Still having some questions, she slipped out of the space and anxiously asked Qi Yuefeng.
"Third Senior Brother, what should we do about Lu Mingzheng's love spell? Is there any way to remove it?"
