C239Upon seeing this, the elder berated, "What is proper to be so fl.u.s.tered?"
Ye Yuan took a deep breath and said impatiently: "Sir Envoy, Miss Fang fainted from the poison"s effect."
Tang Zheng turned pale with fright, with his figure flas.h.i.+ng out of the room, only to see Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ lying on a chair. The people surrounding her were all anxious.
Tang Zheng saw that the green color in the middle of Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+"s forehead was already spreading, and was gradually occupying half of her face. She had her eyes tightly shut, and looked to be in extreme pain.
He anxiously hugged her and shouted: "s.h.i.+s.h.i.+!"
She did not respond.
The elder also followed along. Looking at the Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+"s situation, he said in shock, "Sir Envoy, it must have been a fierce battle just now that caused this poison to act up." Saying that, he took out a pill and gave it to Tang Zheng, "This pill can temporarily relieve the poison."
Tang Zheng immediately let Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ take the pill. The green color slowly gathered on his forehead, and when Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ woke up, he asked in a daze, "What happened to me?"
Tang Zheng"s face revealed pain, he did not expect that the flood dragon"s poison would be so strong, it was difficult to completely cure it.
Looking at Tang Zheng"s expression, Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ instantly understood what was going on. He asked: "Did the poison attack me?"
Tang Zheng nodded his head, and the Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ laughed bitterly: "Don"t worry, don"t worry, don"t you have an elder? He will cure me. "
She stood up with a smile on her face again, but Tang Zheng continued to stare at the green patch of green and said: "s.h.i.+s.h.i.+, after the great battle just now, you should return to your room to rest."
"Alright, don"t be too tired either." The Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ obediently returned to her room, while Tang Zheng looked at the clan elder seriously, asking, "Clan Elder, is there any way to completely cure s.h.i.+s.h.i.+"s poison?"
The elder said vexedly, "Sir Envoy, I am ashamed. I have tried many different methods in the past few days, but they were all difficult to cure."
"s heart skipped a beat. Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ was his woman, how could he watch her endure the pain?
"This…" The elder began to ponder. After a long while, his eyes lit up: "Yes, Heaven Yuan Fruit! This is a legendary antidote. It is the bane of all poisons in the world."
"Where is the Heaven Yuan Fruit?" Tang Zheng immediately asked.
The elder looked hesitant.
"Elder, life is in danger, do you still have anything to hesitate about?"
The elder sighed and said: "The Heaven Yuan Fruit is right in this Ten Thousand Huge Mountains. The Heaven Yuan Fruit loves the Yin, and can only survive in places where the Yin Qi is the densest."
Hearing that the Heaven Yuan Fruit was inside the Ten Thousand Huge Mountains, Tang Zheng could not help but heave a sigh of relief, and said overjoyed: "Since it"s inside the Ten Thousand Huge Mountains, then I will go and find it as soon as possible."
"Senior envoy, there is only one place in the Ten Thousand Huge Mountains with the densest Yin Qi, and that is the forbidden area." The elder said with a bitter face. This was the reason why he was hesitating, the forbidden area was a dangerous place, and from today onwards, it was clear that the Demonic Beasts would most likely die if they went to the forbidden area.
Tang Zheng was slightly startled. "Forbidden Area?" His expression changed for a moment, and then said resolutely: "Even if it"s Blade Mountain Flame Sea Guild, I must find this Heaven Yuan Fruit, s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ must not be harmed, I must remove her poison."
"Sir Envoy, why don"t we think of something else? Maybe it will work as well." The elder advised.
However, Tang Zheng shook his head: "No, I will go to the forbidden grounds. Firstly, I will find the Heaven Yuan Fruit, and secondly, I will clarify what relations.h.i.+p the little fellow has with the forbidden grounds, as well as why those Demonic Beasts do not care about their lives and want it back."
Mentioning the Holy Beasts, the elder"s face became serious. He spoke up bravely: "I"ll go with you. We must figure out the relations.h.i.+p between the Demonic Beasts and the forbidden grounds. We can"t let the Demonic Beasts have any designs on the Holy Beasts."
Tang Zheng rejected him flatly: "You must stay here, and I need you more here. Moreover, it"s too dangerous to go to the forbidden area, the more people there, the greater the losses will be, so you all should stay here and start cultivating, increasing your strength is most important right now."
"Then who will protect your safety, Sir Envoy?"
Tang Zheng said confidently: "I will protect myself. Don"t worry, after so many years of transformation, maybe the forbidden area is not as dangerous as it is said to be."
The elder said shamefully, "Sir Envoy, not only did we not help you, we became the ones who dragged you down. We are truly ashamed."
Tang Zheng laughed unconcernedly: "No need to be so courteous with me, let"s settle the matter at hand first."
With that, he returned to his room to accompany Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+. Seeing him enter, Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ sat up from his bed, looking exhausted.
Tang Zheng held her hand and emotionally said: "It"s too dangerous today. It"s been hard on you."
Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ smiled, leaned on his shoulder and said: "It"s not hard, but it"s my first time experiencing such a fight, I"m too nervous and excited."
"In the future, you will have to experience this. Although it seems a little cruel, our world is not destined to be peaceful. If we fail and we don"t deal with others, others will come find us, so don"t take it to heart and slowly get used to it." Tang Zheng consoled.
"I know." The Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ nodded heavily.
"s.h.i.+s.h.i.+, I will be going to the forbidden grounds next."
Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+"s body tensed up as he stared at him and asked, "Go to the forbidden grounds? "Why?"
"You have been poisoned by the flood dragon, neither the elder nor I have a solution. The only way to cure you is to go to the forbidden area to look for the Heaven Yuan Fruit."
"This won"t do, the Demonic Beasts s in the forbidden area run wild, wouldn"t it be too dangerous for you to go there? I won"t let you go, even if I die, I won"t let you take the risk." Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ grabbed his arm, as if she was afraid that he would run away immediately.
Tang Zheng patted the back of her hand and comforted her: "It won"t be as dangerous as you think. It"s just me alone, even if I can"t beat her, I can still escape.
"If I say no, then no, I can"t be that selfish. I can"t let you take the risk just for myself." The Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ said stubbornly.
Tang Zheng"s heart softened, and he immediately pulled her into his embrace, saying in a low voice: "For you, what"s this little bit of danger? Even if I had to climb the mountain of blades and descend the sea of flames, I would still go. s.h.i.+s.h.i.+, you are my woman, this is what I should do. "
Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+"s eyes reddened, her tears almost flowing out. "But I"m afraid, just look at how powerful those Demonic Beasts are today. Maybe there are even more dangerous things in the forbidden area …"
"I promise you, I will definitely return safely. Can you trust me?" their four eyes met, and Tang Zheng asked.
Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ looked at the determination in his eyes and did not say anything for a long time, as though his heart was about to melt.
"Promise me that you will come back. I will be your woman for the rest of my life." The Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ said emotionally.
Tang Zheng grinned: "Of course, s.h.i.+s.h.i.+, you will always be my woman, even if you want to escape, you won"t be able to."
Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ smiled bashfully: "I don"t want to escape."
"It"s best if you don"t run. I"ll hold on to you tightly anyway."
After pausing for a moment, Tang Zheng continued, "Actually, the reason we went to the forbidden area is not only for your sake, but also for that little guy"s sake. It is the sacred beast of the Witch Clan, and it also allowed the Demonic Beasts in the forbidden area to gather so many people.
"Yeah, that little guy is too cute." Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ sincerely said as he thought of the cute little fellow, whose heart was filled with love.
When the voice fell, a snow white figure came through the window. It seemed as if it heard Tang Zheng talking about it, and then strutted over to Tang Zheng"s body, rubbing against his legs a few times. It was very intimate.
Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ immediately carried it in his embrace, gently stroking its fur. The little fellow squeaked, seemingly very happy.
"What"s its name?" The Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ asked curiously.
"I don"t know."
"Why don"t you give him a name?" Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ suggested.
Tang Zheng looked at the little guy with interest, then looked at its snow-white fur.
"Little White?" Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ frowned, "Isn"t it just too ordinary, it has nothing to do with its mysteriousness."
The little fellow seemed to have heard the conversation between the two and nodded its head seriously. It also felt that this name was too ordinary and not worthy of its name.
Seeing its naive and innocent look, Tang Zheng decided to call it Little White. He said, "It"s so easy to remember."
Tshh Tshh!
The little guy raised his two claws and protested loudly, as if he did not like the name.
The Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ could not help but laugh: "See, even it itself protested."
Tang Zheng rolled his eyes and said: "It"s useless to protest."
The little guy"s ears immediately drooped down, and like a defeated soldier, he looked at Tang Zheng resentfully, before lying in Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+"s embrace.
Seeing that, Tang Zheng could not help but laugh out loud, and brought it over, and said: "Little White, you are still complaining, look at how big of a loss you have caused, and how much damage you have caused. I still have to go to the forbidden grounds for you, you should be grateful to me."
Little White rubbed its head on Tang Zheng"s face for a few times, then quickly climbed onto his shoulders and whined a few times.
The next day, all the members of the Shamans formed a mighty team. The tribesmen who had died in battle, lying in coffins, arrived on a mountain not far from the tribe. There were many tombstones on the mountain, occupying the entire hill.
Everyone"s expression was very serious, and their spirits were low. The simple and grand funeral was presided over by the elders, and as they watched the people being buried under their coffins, no one cried. Although everyone"s eyes were red, they suppressed their sobs.
The Witch clan members were born warriors. They would die on the battlefield, and they would die just like that. This was the best place for them to return to. Moreover, they fought to protect their clansmen, so the others would always remember their contribution.
A light drizzle fell from the sky, as if the heavens were grieving for these brave warriors. Under the light rain, almost everyone returned to the tribe without saying a word.
Tang Zheng was about to embark on a new journey.
