"Hurry, this way!" Dongfang Qing supported Ye Qiu, looking extrely anxious.
Previously, Ye Qiu had broken through the Yama Killing Sword Array and then resisted the attacks of the Zhuge Swordsmanship. He had long been seriously injured and nearly lost his combat abilities. Worried that Zhuge Ming would take advantage of the situation to pursue, he gritted his teeth and persevered!
Now, with the battle against Zhuge Ming and others coming to an end, Ye Qiu relaxed a little, and naturally, his injuries fully flared up!
External injuries, internal injuries, all were extrely severe!
The intense pain from head to toe made Ye Qiu's breathing rapid, constantly feeling on the brink of suffocation.
"You blocked the sneak attack for earlier, thank you so much."
Ye Qiu looked at Dongfang Qing, speaking weakly.
During the earlier fight with the Three Protectors of the Zhuge Clan, a Protector had used a concealed weapon on him. At that ti, he hadn't noticed it. If Dongfang Qing hadn't used her body to shield him in ti, it wouldn't have just been simple injuries now!
"We're on the sa team, what's there to thank for? Let's think about how to solve the current trouble first."
Dongfang Qing looked worried.
When they had escaped from Zhuge Ming and his n, the Secret Realm's mutant beasts had already gone berserk due to the battle between the two sides. Now, having escaped only two or three kiloters, they'd already encountered a large number of mutant beasts.
The most critical issue is Ye Qiu's severe external injuries. Under the tornt of the Yama Killing Sword Array, his body is covered in ghastly wounds, with no part intact!
Blood flowed profusely, impossible to stop!
The intense scent of blood agitated the berserk mutant beasts even more, causing more and more mutant beasts to surround the two of them!
From all directions, there were large numbers of ferocious mutant beasts!
Among them, there were naturally so powerful mutant beasts at the Half-Step Divinity Transformation level!
Swoosh!
Dongfang Qing was desperately fleeing with Ye Qiu when suddenly, with a sound of sothing cutting through the air, a thin, finger-sized gray snake darted from the side and bit Dongfang Qing on the shoulder.
Instantly, Dongfang Qing's face turned sowhat blue, and her breath beca chaotic.
Ye Qiu reacted quickly, almost simultaneously grabbing the gray snake's head and crushed it forcefully. The Half-Step Divinity Transformation Realm snake shattered instantly.
"How are you?" Ye Qiu asked Dongfang Qing concernedly.
Puff!
Dongfang Qing spat a mouthful of blood, looking even more weakened. "Not well, that snake is called the Withered Bone Snake, small in size but the last mutant beast anyone would want to encounter.
If its poison isn't neutralized quickly, the poisoned person's blood and True Qi will dry up entirely within them, shriveling their body until nothing remains but skin and bones!"
"We need to find a herb that can detoxify you quickly!" Ye Qiu said in a low voice, attempting to inject Inner Strength into Dongfang Qing, but it was of little help!
"It's useless!" Dongfang Qing shook her head with a bitter smile, a hint of despair in her eyes, "From what I know, the antidote herb is sixty to seventy kiloters away, too far. And with more mutant beasts gathering around us, we simply can't make it there in ti!"
"Ye Qiu!"
As she spoke, Dongfang Qing pushed Ye Qiu away, seriously saying, "I can't make it. As unwilling as I am, with the Withered Bone Snake's poison and so many mutant beasts around, I'm destined to die here today.
You go quickly, there is a herb four kiloters southeast that can help you recover. Go now!"
"Which direction is the antidote herb?"
Dongfang Qing was injured saving him, so how could Ye Qiu just stand by and watch her die, especially since he had accepted many benefits from the Dongfang Family?
If Dongfang Qing died in the Secret Realm, what face would he have to face Dongfang Mo afterward?
Ye Qiu silently vowed that, even at the cost of his life, he would bring Dongfang Qing to find the antidote herb!
"Ye Qiu, don't be foolish!"
Seeing the terrifying number of mutant beasts getting closer, Dongfang Qing beca urgent and shouted, "In our current state, we can't possibly resist those mutant beasts.
Following you will only be a burden. Stop insisting, go quickly, or we'll both die!
If you die too, who will kill Zhuge Ming for , who will avenge ?"
"I will never abandon you!"
With unwavering determination, Ye Qiu used all his strength to carry Dongfang Qing on his shoulder to search for the antidote herb.
Although not holding on to much hope, he firmly believed that there was always a way out!
Just as Ye Qiu was about to charge forward with Dongfang Qing and carve out a bloody path, suddenly!
Goo goo goo! Goo goo goo!
Behind him ca a sowhat eerie call, seemingly not hostile, as if summoning Ye Qiu.
"What's that?"
Ye Qiu turned his head to look and saw two injured Golden-haired Long-ard Apes anxiously looking at him while holding a young long-ard ape.
Seeing his response, the two long-ard apes waved their arms vigorously.
"Thank you!"
Ye Qiu realized that the kings were thanking Dongfang Qing for saving the young long-ard ape before. Without hesitation, he imdiately jumped onto the shoulder of one of the Golden-haired Long-ard Apes.
Roar!!! Roar!!!
In an instant, the two Golden-haired Long-ard Apes roared, unleashing their king's aura, partly to intimidate the surrounding mutant beasts and partly to unleash their full strength!
The two Golden-haired Long-ard Apes, protecting Ye Qiu, rapidly weaved through the forest.
Being among the kings of Golden-haired Long-ard Apes, they had a formidable presence. Along the way, they encountered many mutant beasts, even so at the Half-Step Divinity Transformation level, all of which retreated from fear.
Soon, the two kings brought Ye Qiu and Dongfang Qing into a cave. One of the Golden-haired Long-ard Apes pounded the cave's cliff wall with its fists, causing massive rocks to fall with a thunderous roar, sealing the cave entrance.
"Please... let go. Otherwise, my friend might die." Ye Qiu looked at the two Golden-haired Long-ard Apes with heartfelt apology.
The two long-ard apes shook their heads repeatedly. Then, the mother ape holding the child took out a small herb from its body. It was surprisingly silvery-white, resembling a crescent moon, and emitted a faint white glow.
"Immortal Moon Grass!" Ye Qiu's eyes lit up, thinking that Immortal Moon Grass might help detoxify Dongfang Qing.
However, the mother ape pointed at the Immortal Moon Grass and then at him, clearly indicating that he should consu the Immortal Moon Grass.
"Can't the Immortal Moon Grass help detoxify her?"
Ye Qiu looked at Dongfang Qing with concern.
The mother ape shook its head, then gently placed Dongfang Qing, who was on Ye Qiu's shoulder, onto the ground.
Then, it sat down slowly, lifted Dongfang Qing's right arm, and brought her fingers to its mouth, gently biting before frantically sucking.
