Chapter 183.2
After leaving the swarm, Chen Feng came back to his senses, looked at his palm, then raised his head to glance at Mu Jing in front of him. His face turned pale and ugly.
Cheng Qi, who was hiding in the dark and saw the scene clearly, couldn’t help but open his mouth in surprise. “Young master, why is that person?”
Cheng Qi knew that the man surnamed Mu had an entanglement with the two women, so he wasn’t surprised. What puzzled him was the situation with the man named Chen Feng. He had a good relationship with the fat cultivator.
Li Tianyan smiled. The person surnamed Mu was indeed not simple. The sound transmission just now should have had a hypnotic effect.
“Without Zhao Shubao, you would be Zhao Yuan’s only direct disciple.” These were his exact words. If he guessed correctly, Zhao Yuan should be the fat man’s father. If the person surnamed Chen had never had such an idea, he wouldn’t have prompted by the other party to do this.
When Pei Qing saw Mu Jing abandoning her and leaving alone, she felt extremely calm and took out a talisman to drive away the approaching poisonous wasps.
“What should we do now?” Zhao Shubao, who was also knocked down, broke out in a cold sweat when he saw the swarm of wasps. He could no longer think about anything else.
“You go first.” Pei Qing threw out a fire talisman, activated it with her spirit sword, and opened a way for Zhao Shubao.
One of them had to leave so Pei Yu’s actions could be made public. Pei Qing glanced at her purple right hand and couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
“Oh.” After hearing this, Zhao Shubao stood up and took out his spirit sword, but suddenly stopped.
“Hurry up and leave.” Pei Qing couldn’t help but urge as she had very few talismans left.
Zhao Shubao gritted his teeth and finally turned back. “I can’t leave you alone. We have to go together.”
After speaking, Zhao Shubao took out a golden cauldron of fire and fought the sting-tailed wasps with Pei Qing. His wood-type spiritual energy moved the Golden Cauldron of Fire, and the flames released were extremely fierce, like dry wood meeting a raging fire. Together, they successfully escaped from the swarm.
However, the swarm of wasps was still chasing them. After a while, the talisman on Pei Qing’s body was exhausted, and Zhao Shubao’s true spiritual energy was nearly depleted. The flames released by the magic weapon in his hand became weaker with each attack, while the aura of the queen wasp drew closer.
Just as they were about to fall into despair, a red figure fell in front of them. Pei Qing looked closely and saw that it was a core formation ghost, though she didn’t know the purpose of this ghost’s sudden appearance.
Before Pei Qing and Zhao Shubao could react, they saw the ghost spirit appear, holding a talisman and activating it toward the wasp swarm. Purple flames erupted from the talisman, and the poisonous wasps engulfed by the purple fire were instantly reduced to ashes.
Seeing those Foundation-Establishment Wasp Beasts, which had been difficult for them to handle, not even having a chance to struggle under the flames, Pei Qing couldn’t help but show shock in her eyes.
Tan Eyu smashed down dozens of nether fire talismans, and the poisonous wasp swarm was nearly wiped out by the nether fire. Even the core formation queen wasp was consumed by the nether fire in a single encounter.
As the core formation ghost spirit came to their rescue, the two couldn’t help but express their gratitude. “Thank you, senior ghost spirit, for saving us.”
“I’m just following orders, you don’t need to thank me,” Tan Eyu said, spreading her hands.
Those two people were so lazy that they actually had the nerve to say they were foundation-establishment cultivators and couldn’t defeat these swarms of poisonous wasps. Who would believe this?
“I wonder who commands the Senior Ghost Spirit?” Zhao Shubao couldn’t help asking curiously.
“Hey, it was just those two guys.” When Tan Eyu saw Cheng Qi and Li Tianyan appear, she twitched her chin in their direction, then ducked back to the Soul-nurturing Wood.
Pei Qing and Zhao Shubao looked at the people who had come and found that they were two unfamiliar foundation-establishment cultivators. Zhao Shubao was about to say thank you, but Pei Qing beside him suddenly fell down without warning.
“Pei Qing?” Zhao Shubao subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch the person. Only then did he realize that Pei Qing’s lips had turned purple, indicating that she had been poisoned by wasp venom.
Li Tianyan saw a woman unconscious and was about to go over to help with treatment when he saw that the fat cultivator had already taken out a pill and fed it to her, so he took back his hand.
“Thank you both,” Zhao Shubao said to the two of them after feeding Pei Qing the antidote pill.
Sensing that another queen wasp was coming with a swarm of wasps, Li Tianyan reminded him, “It’s not advisable to stay here for a long time. Leave first.”
“This female cultivator has been poisoned by wasp venom. It is impossible to completely remove it with an antidote pill. You have to find a safe place to help her force out the venom first.”
“Okay.” Zhao Shubao no longer had his Master Spirit Sword, so he could only rely on the help of the two people. He carried Pei Qing behind him and followed the two of them away.
But he hadn’t expected to return to the familiar cave in the end. Zhao Shubao didn’t think too much about it. Seeing that there was a place to hide, he quickly checked on Pei Qing, who was still unconscious.
He also sent the true spiritual energy that he had finally recovered on the way to try to help her force out the poison, but his energy wasn’t enough, and he wouldn’t be able to do it for a while.
“I’ll do it.” Li Tianyan finally couldn’t help but speak after seeing him struggling for a long time without even a drop of venom coming out.
“Sorry to trouble you.” Only then did Zhao Shubao notice that the person in front of him was also a wood cultivator, so he quickly put Pei Qing down and made way for him.
Li Tianyan put his fingers together on the female cultivator’s veins, and a stream of wood energy entered her meridians, finding the venom that had dispersed in her body, and gathered it all at the index finger of her left hand.
“Cut her index finger and bleed it,” Li Tianyan said to Zhao Shubao, who was standing next to him.
“Oh.” After being reminded by him, Zhao Shubao came to his senses and quickly stepped forward to do as he said.
