Chapter 62 Chaos (4)
Gu Qingqing then took out her storage ring and searched for an antidote, but found nothing.
Back then, she had no idea she would be staying in a place like this for so long, and she squandered it all.
With a worried expression and having not found any antidote, Gu Qingqing had no choice but to stuff a mouthful of jade liquid into Ji Zhuang's mouth.
But Ji Zhuang's tongue was so poisoned that he couldn't eat anything.
In her haste, Gu Qingqing could only forcefully pry open Ji Zhuang's beak, stick a paw inside and push it in before stuffing the jade liquid into Ji Zhuang's food pouch.
Pulling her finger out, Gu Qingqing looked at her paw, which was radiating a rich spiritual energy, and couldn't help but swallow hard.
So, following the thrifty voice in her heart, she sucked on the paw, and as she wished, she gained some spiritual energy, and also acquired a stiff, unyielding tongue.
Gu Qingqing was also poisoned. Her body's thirst for spiritual energy caused her to selectively forget that her current body was no longer the same as before.
Forced into silence, Gu Qingqing had no choice but to put everything back into her storage ring.
With all her might, Gu Qingqing dug a hole and placed Ji Zhuang inside, burying him there.
Now that she can't move her tongue, she can't explain to the witch. If Ji Zhuang wakes up and is still insane, then things will be terrible.
After finishing all this, Gu Qingqing got up to go find Ji Rong.
Ji Rong is on the island helping Wu Yue secure the large tree he has chosen for the wealthy dragon horn.
With Ji Rong's help, the three large trees quickly supported the large tree around Jiao Jue.
Ji Rong looked at her work with satisfaction while helping Wu Yue fan the fire.
She used her wings as fans, moving them left and right to make the fire burn brightly.
The medicine on the fire was only half-cooked when Gu Qingqing rushed over in a flurry, grabbed Ji Rong without a word, and ran off.
Ji Rong shouted to Wu Yue in the wind, "I'm leaving, fire, fire!" before being carried away by Gu Qingqing on her back.
Upon reaching the island, as the sun was about to set, Ji Rong, exhausted from a day's work, sat on the ground, staring in disbelief as the silent Gu Qingqing dug Ji Zhuang out of the ground.
"My brother...my brother is dead?"
Upon seeing this, Ji Rong trembled all over and immediately pointed at Ji Zhuang with her wings and asked.
Gu Qingqing shook her head.
"What happened to him?!"
Gu Qingqing immediately scratched the ground with her claws.
Unfortunately, her current claw technique is not very good. Ji Rong watched it twice and still couldn't figure out what she was drawing.
So Ji Rong stood up and, unwilling to give up, bent down to listen to Ji Zhuang's heartbeat.
"Thump, thump, thump," Ji Zhuang's heartbeat was deafening.
"Yes, he's alive and living a normal life," Ji Rong said with relief.
But Ji Zhuang's complexion was not good, and his black crest looked as if he had been poisoned; Ji Rong glanced at Gu Qingqing again, and Gu Qingqing's mouth also looked black.
Ji Rong felt that she had vaguely discovered the truth.
So Ji Rong opened the jade box filled with top-grade spiritual herbs, pointed at Ji Zhuang, and said to Gu Qingqing, "Take a look, is there anything you can use?"
I've struck it rich again!
Gu Qingqing grinned and trembled as she stepped forward to identify the herb. She carefully picked up a medicinal herb and quickly closed the box.
She tossed the jade box into her storage ring, then quickly lowered her head and put the ring in her mouth.
"What are you doing? Give it back to me. Waaah~ Chirp chirp..." Ji Rong was very anxious, jumped up, spread her wings and tried to pry it into Gu Qingqing's mouth.
Taking advantage of the situation, Gu Qingqing bit back, causing Ji Rong to clutch her wings and claws and chirp in pain.
Gu Qingqing glanced at Ji Rong, then licked the spiritual material in her paw with relief. She carefully bit off a little bit of the root, stem, and leaves of the spiritual material and swallowed them, then stuffed the rest of the spiritual material into Ji Zhuang's mouth.
The sun will set completely in a moment, and at this time the sky is clear and blue, dotted with white clouds, and the afterglow dyes the sky and water into a warm orange-red.
Ji Rong happily picked up Gu Qingqing and tossed her onto his back, then tossed Ji Zhuang to Gu Qingqing, who was now seated comfortably.
She sped across the strait, the setting sun casting a long, large shadow over her.
The sun was about to set, and she was taking them home.
——————
Back outside the cave, Ji Rong stopped, put Gu Qingqing on the ground, and carried Ji Zhuang inside.
Gu Qingqing hurriedly used one of her tails to restrain Ji Rong, who was about to enter the cave. With a tense expression, she pointed to the window with her other tail and then to Ji Rong.
She tilted her head and gave Ji Rong a peeping look, gesturing for her to look out the window.
Gu Qingqing's movements were far more expressive than her scribbles, and Ji Rong understood.
She put Ji Zhuang down, flew to the window and looked inside, meeting a pair of dry eyes.
"A ghost!"
When Ji Rong realized that the master of those eyes was "Feng Qing", she immediately screamed in fright. She turned around and pecked Gu Qingqing hard on the head, saying, "You stinky fox, you actually pretended to be a ghost to scare me!"
"You're not going to be sleeping with us tonight, you'll just be out in the cold!"
After Ji Rong finished speaking, she dragged her brother Ji Zhuang by the foot and walked into the cave. Gu Qingqing quickly grabbed Ji Rong, shook her head, and stopped her from going.
Ji Rong swatted away Gu Qingqing's claws with one wing and walked inside.
She walked in, threw Ji Zhuang onto the mat, then sneered and pecked Feng Qing on the head, saying, "Trying to scare me? I'll peck you off."
With Ji Rong's peck.
"Bu~"
Like a ripped piece of cloth, a large number of Gu worms surged out from the tear on Feng Qing's head. These Gu worms died almost instantly after emerging.
Before long, "Feng Qing" deflated.
But even though it was deflated, its eyes could still turn and look at Ji Rong.
Feng Qing's eyes were dry, and his gaze was deep and uneasy.
Coupled with a shriveled body,
Its withered, brittle hair and the layers of dead Gu worms piled up around it made "Feng Qing" look as if it had just crawled out of the ground.
"Aaaaaah...a monster...!" Ji Rong screamed again. She flapped her wings, pecking at Ji Zhuang and Gu Qingqing, and flew forward in a panic.
"This is terrifying! Ji Rong thought to herself, even sleeping on the dirt tonight would be better than being at home!"
Still shaken, Ji Rong decided to fly to the tree where Jiao Jue lived and spend the night there. She thought that this dragon was much stronger than them and wouldn't be afraid of ghosts and monsters.
But Gu Qingqing used her tail to strangle her neck, refusing to let her fly over.
Therefore, Ji Rong had no choice but to settle for sleeping on the outskirts of the woods.
The branches that the witches cut when they repaired Jiaojue's dwelling during the day are still piled up outside the forest and have not been moved.
Ji Rong then carried Ji Zhuang and Gu Qingqing to the sheltered side of the road, where the three of them squeezed together to sleep.
Before going to sleep, Gu Qingqing looked up and gazed at Ji Rong's bird head with satisfaction, thinking that she was extremely clever.
Normally, when they encounter a powerful being, they just want to run far away, but Ji Rong is able to grasp the distance and scale very well, using the aura of the powerful to solve her own safety problems.
Gu Qingqing thought to himself, "In the past, the weak would offer tributes to the strong; but Ji Rong was able to earn so many spiritual materials from the strong, enough to feed them when they were desperate."
"What a brilliant mind!" Gu Qingqing couldn't help but lick Ji Rong's head.
The humid heat above her head instantly woke Ji Rong, who was just drifting off to sleep.
"Who wants to eat me?!"
She tilted her head and pecked at Gu Qingqing's lips, breaking the skin.
Gu Qingqing covered her head with her paws, her eyes brimming with tears, and uttered a soft "Ha...hehe."
Upon seeing that it was Gu Qingqing, Ji Rong instantly flew into a rage and said, "Go to sleep! I'm about to fall asleep, and you're still licking me. Are you looking for a beating?"
A disgruntled dragon roar came from afar, whipping up a gust of wind that howled. Gu Qingqing immediately lowered her claws and buried her head in Ji Rong's arms.
Ji Rong flapped her wings, then helplessly hugged Gu Qingqing and fell asleep.
