Chapter 34 My Heart is Broken
It was getting dark again, and the paper umbrellas could no longer protect them from the wind and rain, and they would need them again tomorrow, so everyone carefully put away the umbrellas.
However, the paper umbrella has been summoned and cannot be turned into a card. If you have never entered the dungeon and do not have a portable mall, it is still a big problem to preserve the paper umbrella. After all, it is made of rice paper and will break if you are not careful.
But now everyone has a portable shopping mall. Although there are only three initial slots, it is still enough to store some important things.
When Chu Xihen put away the paper umbrella, he also used his points to exchange for a few buckets of instant noodles.
Among them, some have fire and water attributes, so cooking noodles is very easy.
"You can use water, but you have to change two buckets of instant noodles for us." Han Chong said this to Chu Xihen.
The two of them left and came back, but they didn't feel awkward at all, as if the previous conflict didn't exist. Bai Jinli was still gentle and warm, and Han Chong was still as annoying as before.
"I find you are really shameless. Why are you going to use cold water to make instant noodles instead of using our fire?" Zhou Quan was really shocked by Han Chong's shamelessness. "A bucket of instant noodles costs three points. Xihen doesn't need to upgrade his own abilities, so he lends us the points first. What's your reason?"
"I just don't need your fire..." Han Chong and his men carried lighters with them, so they could just find some dry firewood around to cook the noodles. Why would they need any fire-attribute abilities?
But before he could finish his words, Bai Jinli interrupted him, "He was joking, we can change the instant noodles ourselves, I will provide you with water for free."
After saying that, he reluctantly spent six points to buy two buckets of instant noodles and gave one to Han Chong.
Zhou Quan thought this was good enough, and when he was about to go find Bai Jinli to get some water with the pot that Chu Xihen had exchanged, he saw him exchange a few bottles of mineral water from the mall, unscrew the bottle caps and pour them into the pot.
"No, Xihen, what are you doing? Are you trying to pick a fight with the points?" Zhou Quan was anxious.
No one else expected Chu Xihen to commit such a crime at this time.
A bottle of mineral water costs one point. Does this guy really not treat points as money?
"Next time you want to exchange something, use my points. You keep some." Lou Su did not blame Chu Xihen for his extravagant behavior. He just calculated the other party's exchange of things and estimated that the 100 points were already used up.
"Yeah." Chu Xihen concentrated on cooking noodles and responded casually.
It wasn't that he wanted to make Bai Jinli angry on purpose, but he really had more points than he could use up, so why not just make her angry at the same time?
If Chu Xihen and the others don't use Bai Jinli's supernatural power, then Bai Jinli and Han Chong will not only have to make a fire themselves, but also use their points to buy a pot.
Since Bai Jinli had already exchanged two buckets of instant noodles, the task of changing the pot fell to Han Chongtou. He opened the mall and saw that the cheapest pot cost ten points!
With a sullen face, he changed the pot and boiled some instant noodles with the white chestnuts.
But in his heart he cursed Chu Xihen a thousand times, and he really wished that aliens would attack them right away so that he could kill them in the chaos!
Perhaps God sensed Han Chong's resentment, and when their water just boiled, the ground shook slightly.
Because of Chu Xihen's decisiveness, several people over there had already boiled water and were now eating. Feeling something strange on the ground, several people stuffed instant noodles into their mouths in big gulps and even had time to drink a sip of soup.
Han Chong and his friends were not so lucky. A poisonous konjac branch as thick as a thigh emerged from the ground and swept away the two buckets of instant noodles they had placed on the ground.
"Get out of the way!" Lou Su said, and then he pulled Chu Xihen and ran away.
Zhou Quan quickly put the pot into his portable mall. After all, Chu Xihen had spent a lot of money to buy it, so he couldn't throw it away.
However, the poisonous konjac that emerged from the ground this time was too big. Zhou Quan was just one step too late, and his feet were entangled by a thick branch.
Thanks to Gao Lin's quick reaction, he grabbed both of his hands, otherwise he would have been swept directly into the pit.
Gao Lin held Zhou Quan in one hand and threw a ping-pong ball with the other hand to hit the branches of the poisonous konjac, but he couldn't hit the part that was entangled with Zhou Quan, for fear that the explosion would hurt Zhou Quan.
There was poison on the branches, and the flesh on Zhou Quan's legs was corroded instantly. He was in so much pain that his vision went black, and he had no strength to use his supernatural powers.
At this moment, an arrow flew through the air and hit the branch that was entangled with Zhou Quan. The branch suddenly loosened Zhou Quan's legs and retracted.
The branch didn't shrink back after Gao Lin hit it with the ball several times, but Chu Xihen shot an arrow and made it retreat.
Because everyone was busy hiding from the branches of the poisonous konjac, no one noticed this unusual thing.
The body of the poisonous konjac had not yet revealed itself, but only two or three branches had emerged, and they were beaten and fled in all directions.
Zhou Quan was dragged by Gao Lin out of the attack range of the branches. He squatted down to look at Zhou Quan's legs and found that most of the flesh on his left leg had been corroded away, and the leg bone could be seen directly.
"Zhou Quan, wake up, don't sleep, open your eyes!" Gao Lin looked at Zhou Quan's legs and his eyes turned red instantly.
He patted Zhou Quan's face gently, trying to bring him back to consciousness, otherwise he would go into shock in such a cold night and might not wake up easily.
"I, I can't do it anymore, you go..." Zhou Quan really didn't have the strength to speak. The poison of the poisonous konjac can not only corrode flesh and blood, but the toxin can instantly enter the nerves and paralyze people.
If Zhou Quan hadn't awakened his supernatural powers, he would have died long ago.
"No, don't be afraid. There is a mall here with medicine in it. I will buy it now. Open your eyes. If you dare to close them, I will beat you." Gao Lin was shaking all over and looking for medicine in the mall while talking.
But any medicine that could save Zhou Quan cost more than a hundred points, and he simply couldn't afford it.
"Take him away from here first. It's still too close here. This poisonous konjac is very big, and its attack range is very wide." Lou Su and Chu Xihen ran over, one stood in front of a few people to guard against it, and the other followed Gao Lin to lift Zhou Quan up and walk away.
At this time Gao Lin discovered that he had an extra hundred points in his mall, and he looked towards Lou Su in surprise.
Lou Su actually transferred all the points to him.
"Don't just stand there, hurry up and buy medicine to save him." Chu Xihen reminded.
Su Yan beside him also said: "I've transferred my points to you, buy some better medicine and save people first."
Gao Lin said nothing and started to open the mall to buy medicine that could save Zhou Quan.
Those medicines did not exist in reality, and their uses were described in detail. He found a bottle within 300 points that could both detoxify and treat external injuries, and bought it without hesitation.
The points owed can be paid back slowly, but Zhou Quan must not allow anything to go wrong.
After getting the medicine, Gao Lin immediately gave Zhou Quan half a bottle and poured the remaining half directly on Zhou Quan's injured leg.
"Ah!!" The severe pain made the drowsy Zhou Quan scream out.
Gao Lin's heart almost broke when he heard this cry.
