After Her Divorce, She Escaped With A Strong Man To Farm

104 Chapter 104. Lingzhi Can Walk

Ji Shuisheng immediately became alert. He clenched the dagger in his hand and slowly walked forward, paying attention to the situation around him.

With a crack, Ji Shuisheng stepped on a dried branch and broke it. A red shadow flew out from the dark. The smell of blood hit his face, carrying a violent wind. Ji Shuisheng hurriedly retreated to avoid the attack, but his clothes were cut open.

Ji Shuisheng was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat. What was this thing? How could he be so powerful?

Just as he dodged, the monster turned back in the air and pounced at Ji Shuisheng, making a strange ear-piercing cry.

!!

This monster had legs all over its body, and the tips of those legs were like sharp blades. Tentacles were growing on the monster’s head, and its two black eyes were as big as a cat’s. As it flew, a fishy smell assailed the nostrils. Its overgrown claws swiped toward Ji Shuisheng, dazzling and impossible to guard against.

Even the bold and meticulous Ji Shuisheng felt his hair stand on end. Even though he was more courageous than the others, he was also drenched in a cold sweat. He waved the treasured saber in his hand at the monster. The monster seemed to be able to sense that the saber in his hand was a treasure. It turned its body in the air, dodged the treasured saber, and flew toward Ji Shuisheng’s head.

Ji Shuisheng turned his hand around and pointed the treasured knife upwards. He jumped up and stabbed the monster’s abdomen. The monster’s body twisted and let out a sharp scream. Ji Shuisheng’s eyes were filled with fierceness as he opened the monster’s stomach. The beast fell to the ground and writhed in pain. The surrounding vegetation was also cut by it.

Ji Shuisheng was also inevitably scratched by its claws, and where he was struck was instantly a bloody mess. Moreover, the monster’s claws were poisonous, and the place where he was scratched was black.

Ji Shuisheng hurriedly endured the severe pain and cut off his blackened flesh with a knife to squeeze the blood. He felt dizzy, but he forced himself to stay awake. The poison gas did not attack his heart because he had cut off his flesh and let out his blood.

Generally, there must be antidotes near poisonous substances. Ji Shuisheng endured the feeling of fainting and searched with great difficulty. He found it very quickly. He could not afford to boil the medicine, so he directly picked the herbs and chewed them in his mouth. The feeling of fainting in his head was much better. He tore off his clothes and tightened the wound. Then, he began to look for Lingzhi for Su Qing.

When Su Qing made the goat soup, she also cooked a pot of sweet potatoes. She couldn’t waste the fire. Su Qing roasted a few thinner sweet potatoes by the fire. The smell of the goat mixed with the sweet taste of the sweet potatoes made the children drool. The villagers of Peach Blossom Cove also looked on with their eyes wide open, their stomachs rumbling with hunger.

“Why hasn’t Shuisheng returned yet?”

Qiu Yongkang was worried and asked Zhong Yong for more details,

“What did your big brother tell you?”

“He said he was going to hunt and would come back by himself once he caught some prey.”

Zhong Yong repeated Ji Shuisheng’s words. He was brilliant and had a great memory. It was just that there was no one to teach him.

“No, I have to go and find him.”

Qiu Yongkang couldn’t stop worrying and asked Zhong Yong to go with him. Otherwise, he didn’t know where Shuisheng had separated from him, so aimlessly searching for him in the mountains was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Su Qing glanced up the mountain when he heard Qiu Yongkang’s words. He suddenly remembered that Ji Shuisheng once said he would help her find the Lingzhi.

Could he have gone to look for Lingzhi?

“I’ll go with you.”

Su Qing said to Qiu Yongkang as she put down her work.

Qiu Yongkang didn’t stop Su Qing from following him. She was an outstanding martial artist and a highly skilled doctor. With her around, they wouldn’t have to worry about the poisonous insects on the mountain.

“Daniu, old seven, take care of everyone.”

Qiu Yongkang said to his two brothers before leaving. Although it was far from the official road, no one knew if there were any bandits in the mountains.

He was distraught. Other than the dead and injured, only a few men left in Peach Blossom could fight. The rest were the old, weak, women, and children.

Zhong Yong’s memory was perfect, and he would never forget the path he had taken. He led Su Qing and Qiu Yongkang deep into the mountains. His legs were long, and his steps were big. He didn’t know how to take care of others and walked alone in front.

Su Qing walked at the back and took the opportunity to let Xiao Qi see where Lingzhi could be found in the mountains. It would be best if they could discover Ji Shuisheng’s location.

Xiao Qi only saw Lingzhi, but the strange thing was, why was Lingzhi still walking?

Xiao Qi rubbed its big, adorable eyes in confusion. After confirming that the Lingzhi could move, it quickly told Su Qing in disbelief,

“Master, Lingzhi can walk. It’s walking down the mountain!”

Su Qing’s eyes flickered. Someone had picked the Lingzhi, but he didn’t know if the person who picked it was Ji Shuisheng. Lingzhi couldn’t have left, so there was only one possibility.

Su Qing did not make a sound and followed behind Zhong Yong. This was because Zhong Yong’s path was the same mountain range that Lingzhi was moving on. The only difference was that one was going up the mountain while the other was going down the mountain.

“Master, Lingzhi is not moving again.”

” Lingzhi? ” Xiao Qi’s confused voice rang out again. Su Qing took a look and saw that Lingzhi had indeed stopped moving.

Su Qing thought of a possibility and quickly walked past Zhong Yong and up the mountain. Qiu Yongkang was stunned for a moment before he called out to her,

“Su Qing, you don’t know the way.”

“I think it’s here.” contemporary romance

Su Qing’s indifferent voice rang out as she walked even faster.

Even Zhong Yong had to chase after her, and Qiu Yongkang was so exhausted that he was panting heavily, but he still managed to catch up.

Su Qing followed the map provided by Xiao Qi and found the Lingzhi. A person was hanging on a tree halfway up the mountain. Under the tree was a cliff. If the branch broke, the person would fall and be smashed into pieces.

However, that person didn’t move, as if he didn’t know the danger below.

Su Qing could tell it was Ji Shuisheng from his clothes and quickened her pace.

Zhong Yong also saw Ji Shuisheng and anxiously shouted at the top of his voice,

“Big brother, big brother, quickly come down.”

Qiu Yongkang heard Zhong Yong’s shout and looked up. He saw Ji Shuisheng hanging on a tree branch extending from the cliff and was scared out of his wits. He ran up the mountain in two to three steps.

The three of them ran to the edge of the cliff. The tree trunk could not support two people at all. They could not reach Ji Shuisheng with their hands, which made Qiu Yongkang and Zhong Yong extremely anxious. Ji Shuisheng looked like he was about to split apart when he was hanging on it.

Zhong Yong wanted to climb up the tree and pull Ji Shuisheng back but was stopped by Qiu Yongkang.

“Don’t go over.”

While Qiu Yongkang was still thinking about saving Ji Shuisheng, Su Qing had already pulled off the vines and started weaving a rope. She was swift, and Qiu Yongkang understood it at a glance. He also pulled off the vines and began to weave.

The two of them didn’t speak, and Zhong Yong was so anxious that his eyes turned red.

“My big brother is hanging on the tree. Why are you guys making that up?”

Su Qing didn’t explain. He tied a rope around her waist and tied the other end to a tree. Qiu Yongkang had also finished his work. Su Qing pulled the rope over and ordered,

“Listen to my orders. If I tell you to pull, do it.”

...

“Alright,” he said.

Qiu Yongkang nodded in agreement. He wanted to tell Su Qing to leave but decided not to. He tied one end of the rope to the tree and pulled Zhong Yong along, waiting for Su Qing’s order to pull them up.

Su Qing kicked the rock wall to the front of the withered tree and saw that Ji Shuisheng was still unconscious. He had many wounds on his body and didn’t know what had made his flesh black. Had he been poisoned?

Just as Su Qing was looking at Ji shuisheng’s wound, he heard the sound of a withered tree trunk breaking.
