Chapter 27 As expected, we still have to rely on him!
As night fell, the cave became darker. The cold wind blew in from the cave entrance with fine yellow sand. Li Xiang, who was sitting quietly, couldn't help but shiver.
"Crack——"
Jiang Ning's light knife pierced into the body of another spider.
This was the fifth one.
She pulled out the knife, and a few drops of blue blood were drawn out and fell to the ground. It was bright for two seconds and dimmed again.
"How long will it take?" Jiang Ning asked Li Xiang.
"Right away." Li Xiang's forehead was covered with a layer of fine beads of sweat, and his face looked a little ugly. The mental power in his body was almost used to the limit.
Generally, the mental power contained in the spiritual weapon itself is small, and its internal structure is also very sophisticated and complicated. It was not designed to be used all at once.
Li Xiang figured out the treatment method himself. Whether it was accurate or not, he had only used it to treat minor scratches. Coma and scratches were not at the same level of difficulty!
He used the wood-based treatment method to continuously deliver it into Kelai's body, but Kelai still had his eyes closed and showed no signs of waking up.
Jiang Ning squatted down beside Li Xiang. Every time Li Xiang released his perception, she could feel the faint flow of energy from him.
The cyan energy flowed from his fingertips into Kelai's body.
Li Xiang had wood-based abilities, so his mental power was green.
Jiang Ning thought that the white energy on her fingertips could promote the growth of sunflowers. Then, in another way, could she also inject her spiritual power into Li Xiang's body to speed up his treatment of Ke Lai and others?
She imitated Li Xiang's way of moving her spiritual power and lightly tapped Li Xiang's shoulder with her fingertips.
Li Xiang, who was concentrating on saving people, didn't notice Jiang Ning's actions at all. He only felt that his body suddenly relaxed, the blood flow accelerated, and the exhausted spiritual power in his brain was replenished again, vaguely more than before. This feeling is indescribable.
Li Xiang didn't think about Jiang Ning at all. He just thought that the spiritual weapon finally worked.
Li Xiang raised his fighting spirit in his heart and no longer searched and searched when using his supernatural power.
Ten minutes later, Kelai's fingers moved, he slightly opened his eyes, and slowly sat up from the ground.
"Your spiritual weapon is really effective!" Li Xiang patted Kelai's shoulder.
He didn't pay attention to the strength for a moment, and Kelai was still very weak after waking up, and he was almost knocked back by him.
Ke Lai: "?"
Jiang Ning took his hand back from Li Xiang's shoulder. Li Xiang felt overdrawn again. He said to Ke Lai who had just woken up: "Do you have any spiritual weapons? Take out two more. There are three people waiting to be rescued."
"Spiritual weapons?" Ke Lai looked at him in confusion. "My spiritual weapons don't have the effect of restoring mental power."
"How is it possible? I just used your spiritual weapon to rescue you." Li Xiang didn't believe it. He took out the petal-shaped spiritual weapon that Jiang Ning gave him and handed it to Ke Lai.
Ke Lai took it and carefully identified it. It was indeed from their store.
Could it be that it has always had this function, but others didn't find it, so they didn't know about it? Jiang
Ning interrupted the two of them and said: "Time is tight, save people first."
Li Xiang didn't bother about it anymore and turned to walk towards the other three.
Black Pearl and Scarface were experienced and used things to protect their bodies when they fell, but Ji Fan was not so lucky.
His clothes were scratched by the rocks that were swept down with him, his skin was red, and the wound was stained with a lot of sand and gravel, causing infection. His face looked very bad, and there was a risk of death from the deterioration of the wound at any time.
Li Xiang had to treat his wound first to save him.
Jiang Ning followed him all the time and gave him energy.
Now she has almost fifty or sixty sunlights every month, and she has no shortage of mental strength.
Li Xiang continued to treat until the early morning, and as the sky was getting brighter, the remaining three people slowly woke up.
Jiang Ning yawned, silently retracted her hand, and withdrew her mental power output. Without her mental support, Li Xiang, who had been overloaded with superpowers for a whole night, collapsed to the ground.
"I'm so tired..." Li Xiang pointed at everyone weakly and said, "Thanks to me staying up all night to save you all, you all owe me a huge favor, you must repay me well when you get out." As expected, I still
have to rely on him!
"Don't worry, I'll treat you to a meal at Shishangju in the lower city when I get back." Ji Fan patted his chest with emotion.
Shishangju is a chain restaurant in Xingji, focusing on the mid-range market, and its dishes are mainly Chinese.
"My parents and I often eat there, and I have acquaintances there." Ji Fan said.
Li Xiang: "..."
Ji Fan was still acting like a fool. He started pretending without saying a word.
A meal at Shishangju costs at least five or six hundred star coins. Would Ji's parents be willing to take him there to eat often?
It's wishful thinking.
Li Xiang turned his head to the side. Ji Fan was still talking about Shishangju. He really didn't want to pay attention to him.
Suddenly, a figure walked in front of him, blocking all the light from the top of the cave.
Li Xiang looked up and heard the figure say very stiffly: "Thank you."
Black Pearl thanked him and turned around without staying for long, walking to Scarface.
Even among bounty hunters, she was used to being alone. Unlike Scarface who always showed his emotions, her emotions were always indifferent.
Jiang Ning's perception was released. There had been strange fluctuations coming from the depths of the two caves since last night, but now she couldn't detect the signal.
"We have to find a way to get up there," Jiang Ning said to everyone.
"Wait."
She was interrupted. Jiang Ning looked behind her and saw Ke Lai staring at the depths of the cave.
"My perception detected that there were at least B-level monsters in there."
Kelai's test has a time limit. She is required to capture a B-level or higher alien within two days. Now more than a day has passed. If she wastes half a day climbing up, by the time she reaches the location of the B-level alien, plus the time to capture it, the test time limit will have long passed, and she will have to repeat the grade.
Kelai didn't want to miss this opportunity, and her eyes scanned everyone's faces one by one.
Li Xiang looked like she definitely didn't want to go in anymore, and Black Pearl and Scarface obviously didn't look very interested.
Kelai cast her eyes on Jiang Ning, looking forward to her answer.
"The underground caves of reptiles are complicated. If you miss this exit, it may be difficult to get out." Jiang Ning's thoughts tend to be conservative. She can even say that she resists this unknown danger in her heart.
If that's the case, Ke Lai's assessment is completely over.
The two villains in Jiang Ning's heart fought for a moment, and finally the brief passion overcame reason, and she said: "I'll go with you."
Ke Lai looked at her with emotion.
Li Xiang helped Ji Fan stand up from the ground, sighing silently: "What if you died in there without me!"
For these people, he really broke his heart!
Li Xiang once again felt the great pressure of being a superpower.
Jiang Ning and Li Xiang both followed, and Ji Fan had no choice but to go. Compared with the unknown danger, Scarface and the cold-faced dark-skinned beauty beside him looked more terrifying at this time.
Staying with the three of them, if something happened, Li Xiang could at least save him.
"Our cooperation ends here. You can go back first." Jiang Ning said to Scarface. Entering the cave was a common choice of theirs. There was no need to drag Scarface and Black Pearl into the water for cooperation.
They took one of Scarface's cars and rescued the two in return, which was considered to be clear.
"Yeah." Black Pearl nodded.
In her opinion, this was a group of children who were going to die. Needless to say, Jiang Ning said that she would never follow them to die!
"Let's say goodbye. See you later, if there is still a chance." Jiang Ning said.
"It's the same as if we won't come back. There are only B-level monsters in there. What are you afraid of?" Li Xiang muttered unhappily.
Five years ago, only Yan Zhou, a superpower in their group, could deal with B-level monsters. Now there are three in their team.
Jiang Ning ignored his dissatisfaction, released his mental power, and explored along the tunnel.
If it was just a B-level alien, it would be fine, but I'm afraid it's more than B-level.
The four of them turned on the flashlight of Xingnao to the maximum, and the dark tunnel was barely illuminated.
After walking for a distance, the surrounding environment began to change.
"There are aliens!" Ji Fan was frightened by the red eye-like things that suddenly appeared on the surrounding cave walls. He screamed and hid behind Li Xiang.
"Where?" Ke Lai raised the flashlight and looked around.
"It's on the wall, that's all." Ji Fan buried his head in Li Xiang's back, revealing only one eye, and pointed to the inner wall of the cave.
Jiang Ning moved the light source closer and found that the tunnel was full of earth-red, scaly small protrusions.
Some of them have cracks in their spherical scales, and they bloom in bundles. Each petal has many filamentous substances, and the flesh of the flowers is peach pink. From a distance, they look like creatures with bloody mouths wide open.
"Whip parasites grow underground in the desert. They are composed of thick and juicy roots. They mainly live on the roots of other plants. They will die if they leave the host. You can think of them as parasites." Jiang Ning and a few others explained.
This whip parasite is very special. It looks like a kind of fungus, not a plant.
"But this is a no-man's land. Where did the plants come from to parasitize it?" Ke Lai immediately heard the abnormality in her words.
Jiang Ning didn't know, but suddenly she noticed white roots sticking out from the soil. The tangled roots and the large number of roots seemed to tell her that there were indeed plants here.
Jiang Ning thought for a moment and said, "Li Xiang, use your wood elemental power to feel whether there are plants around."
