Chapter 455: Abandoning the Rook to Save the King



Thinking about it carefully, it turns out that she had taken advantage of the commotion here to do other things for such a long time. Now that the situation seems to be a little better, she brought Sanfu here. Also, she was probably afraid that we would leave her behind after escaping, so she was so kind as to bring Sanfu here as soon as possible. This not only did her a favor, but also found a way out for herself.

"Song Bailu?" Yunwen couldn't help but be surprised.

"Sister Yunwen..." Song Bailu replied embarrassedly.

"Why are you here? And why are you wearing the clothes of the Wutu tribe? Are you one of them? Sanfu, come here quickly, don't get close to this woman." Yunwen waved at Sanfu, and Sanfu really tried to shake off Bailu's hand and walked towards Yunwen. Song Bailu seemed very embarrassed and uneasy.

"Yunwen, this matter is rather troublesome to explain, and it's not appropriate to talk about it now. Song Bailu, I said that I can only take you away if you find the nectar of life and the antidote, and consider letting you redeem your sins by returning to the post station. Now you are pulling Sanfu and want me to take you back for nothing. Do you think it's possible?" I asked.

"I have brought it, I have brought it, Brother Zhou Bo. I have brought everything, but the antidote for the demon flies is really hard to find, and I can't guarantee which one it is. The demon flies are raised in the demon flowers in the swamp valley. I don't know the formula of the antidote, but I know it must be related to the demon flowers. You guys come with me to collect them. I may be able to concoct it based on my understanding of pharmacology." Song Bailu said.

That makes sense. Yunwen and I don't have much time left, and the demon fly's toxin is spreading in our bodies. If we don't find a way to get rid of it, we'll be dead. Although I said there are other ways, there aren't any. It's hard to protect ourselves now, let alone ask the chief to get us an antidote. What's more, he gave us a fake antidote to protect himself. If we drink it, we'll be doomed too.

Therefore, the only way now is what Bailu said, relying on her understanding of the medicinal properties to try to help us remove the toxicity. Moreover, she has a certain understanding of this tribe and has heard of similar potions. She has both experience and skills. We are now between life and death, and can only think of more ways to survive. After all, apart from this, Yunwen and I have no other way to rely on.

Now Song Bailu wants to return home. If she sincerely wants to go back and live a peaceful life, she will certainly do her best to save me and Yunwen. This is a chance to atone for her sins. Therefore, it is not a bad idea to pin our hopes for the antidote on her. After all, she rarely makes mistakes in pharmacology. Also, because of the current situation and according to her own interests, she will be the most attentive at this time.

"Okay, let me see the nectar of life first," I said.

Bai Lu took my backpack and took out the metal cup I often used. There was a pool of blue viscous water in it. When Su Yuexi saw it, she immediately exclaimed, "Life nectar? So much?"

It seems that the quantity is large, and because of this, the barbarians became restless and ready to make a move. Maybe I really took too much, so it caused their dissatisfaction. Even the chief who was detained by me made a whining sound in his throat. To him, Song Bailu not only betrayed him, but also stole his things. How could he tolerate this?

Now the hatred has almost accumulated. To be honest, I may not be able to kill the chief in one go, and if these cannibalistic Wutu people fight to the death, I may not be able to withstand them. Now is the critical moment, and I can't make any more mistakes.

"Okay, then listen to my arrangements. Song Bailu, put the things back into the backpack, and you and Yunwen will take the Sanfu flight first. Su Yuexi and I will go to find you. The landing place will be on the other side of the Deadly River. We will stop and gather. Yunwen, I will explain everything to you after I get there. Now you can only take her with you reluctantly. Just listen to me, okay?" I said.

Yunwen nodded, but still looked at Song Bailu with disgust. Then Song Bailu closed the lid of the metal cup, screwed the lid on, and put it back into the backpack. Yunwen helped her onto Sanfu's back. She also got on the horse and said, "I'm a little worried. Let go of the chief and come with me."

I smiled at her and said, "Once I let go, we will only have a few seconds to break free. They will rush over and wait for me on the other side of the river. Believe me."

Yunwen sighed, and could only frown, bite her lip, and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, but if something happens to you, I will never live alone."

I nodded at her. Although she was worried, she also forced a smile, then she jumped into the air on her horse and left here first with Bai Lu. After seeing them flying far away, Su Yuexi also walked towards me. I said, "Yuexi, before you take off and float in the air, blow up the wind and sand first so that they can't react in time. After all, we need about half a minute of buffer time to float in the air with the gathered wind power. This is our critical moment. Let's pay attention here, and then we will escape together. In this way, they won't be able to use their nets as soon as possible and won't be able to catch us."

"Okay, Lord City Lord." Su Yuexi replied, but for some reason her face seemed to be a little red.

But then I remembered that I called her by her name in my haste, and I should actually call her Miss Su.

Watching her getting closer and closer, and with her ability to control the wind and carry things, I gradually began to rise up. I immediately let go of the chief's hair. He covered his head and looked at me fiercely. I rose with the wind. I thought Su Yuexi would blow up the wind and sand to listen to me immediately, but not only did she not blow up the wind and sand, she also took off the purple-gold feather necklace on her chest and threw it to the ground in mid-air. All of a sudden, all the Wutu people forgot about the existence of her and me, and they all went to look for the purple-gold feather necklace. She flew over, held my arm, and we both went high into the sky.

As we flew farther and farther away from the ground and higher into the sky, we couldn't help but feel cold all over and our breathing became a little tight. But after passing the dangerous area and descending for a long time, we finally felt a little better and didn't feel so cold anymore. We also began to fly smoothly and our feet moved steadily as if we were walking on the wind.

"Why didn't you blow up the sand just now, but used the purple-gold feather as bait? Isn't this a bit of a waste? After all, it is a precious object on your body." I said.

She held my arm and shook her head, saying, "It takes a certain amount of time for the wind and sand to gather. There was no wind at that time, so we had to attract the sea breeze from the northwest, which would take more than half a minute. Besides, the people of the Wutu tribe are not afraid of the wind and sand. Even if the sand stuck in their eyeballs, they would not feel dry. It would be useless to distract their attention and achieve the effect of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west. But it would take time to explain to you at that time, so I made the decision without authorization while I was suspended in the air. Please don't blame me, City Lord."

So that's how it is. It's my fault that I have a superficial understanding of things and information. If she had listened to me, there would have been a lot of terrible consequences. It really scares me to think about it. However, she decisively threw away the thing she protected with her life because she wanted to take me away. I was really touched. It was equivalent to using that to save my life.

"No, why would I blame you? Miss Su, that purple-gold feather is your precious item. If you gave it to the Wutu tribe because of me, would you feel regretful? How can I repay them for their kindness?" I asked.

"It's okay. I was planning to exchange it for the antidote for you and your wife. Now that I have it, I'll give it to you. As for the jewelry, a silver necklace specially sent by the city lord is enough." She said with a smile.

"Okay, let's put it this way. From now on, whenever Yunwen makes any high-quality necklaces, I will let you choose first. If you like any of them, you can come to my Dragon City to get them. It's free and it will be my reward to you. Although a hundred of these ordinary items cannot match that one, it is the limit of my ability." I said.

"I am satisfied that the city lord has this intention. As for the matter of Zi Jinyu, you don't have to worry too much about it." Su Yuexi said.

We flew away from this area, crossed the Deadly River, and descended to the other side of the river. Sanfu was eating grass, and Yunwen was chatting with Song Bailu. It seemed that Yunwen had softened her heart a lot, and the tone of their conversation was relatively milder.

"Yunwen, Bailu, come here and gather together. I will arrange my next division of labor." I shouted.

When they heard my voice, they were immediately excited, especially Yunwen, who ran over and hugged me tightly, fearing that something might happen to me...
