866 Feng Wu Is Brilliant! 5
“What’s she doing, then?”
“She’s unconscious.”
“What?” Feng Xun looked shocked. “She pa.s.sed out? That girl is stronger than a calf. How could she pa.s.s out?”
“She was bitten by a venomous snake.” Once the blade of her dagger was red with heat from the fire, Feng Wu picked the dagger up and pulled up one of Duan Chaoge’s legs.
Seeing that Feng Xun was still standing there, Feng Wu shook her head. “Brother, go fetch me some rocks.”
Feng Xun was bewildered. “How big do you need them?”
Feng Wu said, “The size of baby fists, preferably.”
“What do you need them for?”
“You’ll see. Please hurry.”
Feng Wu cut Feng Xun off before he could ask another question. “Get me those rocks and you’ll know what they’re for.”
That was all the explanation she was going to give…
Feng Xun promptly left the tent.
Feng Wu shook her head with a wry smile. She was about to cut one of Chaoge’s trouser legs open, and a guy shouldn’t be in the room. There would be rumors if they weren’t careful.
Feng Wu swept her palm across Chaoge’s right calf after Feng Xun left the tent.
The cloth turned to ash at her touch.
And it revealed the wound on Chaoge’s calf.
The wound had swollen to the size of a peach and looked as if it was ready to burst at any moment. The skin around the wound had turned black and gave off a strange energy as well as a horrible smell…
Moreover, a black line had emerged on Chaoge’s skin and was moving up her calf.
Feng Wu examined it and saw that it had reached as far as Chaoge’s thigh. It wouldn’t be long before it reached her spine.
When that happened, Chaoge would spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair!
And she would die when it reached her heart!
Feng Wu gritted her teeth. It pained her just to think about it.
She tried to find a spot to cut into the wound with the red-hot blade, but shook her head after a moment of hesitation.
She couldn’t find one.
It was easy to release the puss, but not as easy to clear all the toxins from Chaoge’s system.
Feng Wu had a 90% chance of saving Chaoge if they were outside this place and had full access to all the medicine she needed. However, stranded in this abominable place, that chance had fallen to 50%.
If anything unexpected happened during the procedure, Chaoge would die!
Taking a deep breath, Feng Wu put the dagger down.
“If only I had some Cleansing Bee Pills on me…” Feng Wu rubbed her forehead.
Feng Wu had designed the Cleansing Bee Pill herself, and she knew that it would be the perfect antidote for the Red-Eyed Snake.
But where was she supposed to find Cleansing Bee Pills now?
She didn’t have any on her.
“You need Cleansing Bee Pills?”
A voice rang out behind Feng Wu.
She turned around to find Xuan Yi at the door.
Feng Wu asked, “Why are you here?”
Xuan Yi said, “To bring you the rocks. Can you tell me what they’re for, now?”
“Throw them in the brazier.”
“That’s it?”
“How elaborate did you expect it to be?” Feng Wu found Xuan Yi’s question amusing.
Xuan Yi shrugged, then tossed a dozen or so rocks of roughly the same small size into the fire. He then turned in Feng Wu’s direction. “You need Cleansing Bee Pills?”
“Do you have any?” Feng Wu frowned.
“Actually, I do. But I’ve only got one bottle.”
Feng Wu was elated. “Give it to me, then.”
“Why should I?” Crossing his arms, Xuan Yi stared at Feng Wu with a half-smile on his face.
Feng Wu frowned. “Those aren’t exactly expensive pills. You can get a bottle for a coin anywhere outside.”
“But you can’t do that here, can you? It’s a scarce resource.” Xuan Yi grinned at Feng Wu.
Feng Wu’s frown grew bigger.
