Chapter 118 Distress
Chapter 118 Distress
Shen Peiqing acted quickly. Before several poisonous snakes started attacking, he had already reached Rong Su, hugged her with his hands, and then took her back several steps, putting some distance between them and the poisonous snakes that were ready to attack.
Just when she was about to get the Snow Seven Grass, she was pulled away by Shen Peiqing. Rong Su felt uncomfortable and anxious at the same time.
"We have to pick the Snow Seven Grass as soon as possible, otherwise it will completely wither. If it completely withers, the Snow Seven Grass will lose its effectiveness!"
Seeing how anxious she was, Shen Peiqing looked at her deeply. At this moment, he hoped in his heart that she was showing such an anxious expression simply because she was worried about him, and not because of the deal between them.
But thinking like this was a bit foolish. Shen Peiqing sneered at himself in his heart, then looked at Shi Tou with a stern expression and said, "Shi Tou. You watch her. I'll go get her."
When Shi Tou heard that Shen Peiqing was going to get it himself, although he was worried, he still chose to believe in his master's ability and walked to Rong Su.
There were at least a dozen poisonous snakes coiled around the stone, and all of them were venomous. Rong Su saw Shen Peiqing with a solemn and cold face, holding a long sword, with a murderous aura all over his body, walking slowly towards that direction. She felt a little strange inexplicably in her heart, and moved her mouth, wanting to tell him to be careful, but in the end she didn't say anything.
When Rong Su saw him easily kill several poisonous snakes, she felt that there was no need for her to worry about Shen Peiqing. This man was a thousand times tougher than a rock, and a mere dozen poisonous snakes could not hurt him at all.
Seeing that he had already cut a path in the snake's nest and was close to the Snow Seven Grass, and seeing him reach out and easily pick the Snow Seven Grass, Rong Su's nervous heart could finally let go, and there was hope for her mission.
But just as she breathed a sigh of relief, she suddenly discovered, for some unknown reason, that there was a poisonous snake that was not dead yet. Because its color was similar to that of the stone wall, it was climbing along the stone wall and approaching Shen Peiqing.
Seeing that the poisonous snake was about to attack Shen Peiqing, Rong Su didn't have time to think, her body moved first and pounced towards Shen Peiqing.
Because the incident happened suddenly and Shi Tou was always paying attention to Shen Peiqing, he did not notice Rong Su's behavior. When he saw her rushing over, it was too late to stop her.
Just as Shen Peiqing picked up the Snow Seven Grass, he turned around and saw Rong Su rushing towards him. He couldn't help but stand there in a daze. Suddenly he heard the sound of a snake spitting out its tongue. He immediately came back to his senses, but he was still a step too slow and was blocked by Rong Su's hand.
The poisonous snake bit Rong Su's arm fiercely. Shen Peiqing saw it and his eyes were shocked. A cold light flashed in his eyes. He picked up the sword and chopped off the head of the poisonous snake that was biting Rong Su. Even when the snake fell to the ground, he did not forget to stab it several more times until the snake was minced into meat. Only then did Shen Peiqing stop the panic and anger in his heart.
Rong Su was poisoned by the snake and could no longer stand and was about to fall to the ground. Shen Peiqing was quick-witted and reached out his hands to tightly wrap around her waist and hold her in his arms.
"Rong Su! Wake up!"
She didn't expect the snake's venom to be so strong and take effect so quickly. Her eyes were a little blurry and she could only see the vague outline of Shen Peiqing's face.
Seeing Rong Su's distracted eyes, Shen Peiqing looked at the wound on her arm again. He could no longer care about anything else and said in a loud voice: "Turn the stone over!"
Knowing that Shen Peiqing seemed like an out-of-control and angry beast at the moment, Shitou didn't dare to say much and quickly turned his back.
After Shitou turned her back, Shen Peiqing reached out and rolled up the sleeve of her arm to her elbow, revealing her snow-white arm. His eyes were fixed on the wound that was beginning to turn black.
Without even thinking, he lowered his head and sucked out the poisonous blood from her.
Rong Su was actually still conscious, just a little confused. She felt Shen Peiqing's actions, and using all her strength, she raised her other hand to cover Shen Peiqing's lips. The cool and soft touch made her sober up a little.
Shen Peiqing was anxious and angry when he saw her doing this: "Let go! What are you doing?"
But she covered her mouth tightly as if she didn't hear. Shen Peiqing stretched out his hand to pry it open. She could feel it, so she spoke, her voice a little weak: "No...no. I have..."
But Shen Peiqing was extremely anxious and didn't want to listen to Rong Su's words at all. He was afraid that something might happen to her, so he used a little force to pull Rong Su's hand away. At this time, she had already fallen into a coma, and it was obvious that the poison had begun to spread.
Unable to care about anything else, he lowered his head and opened his mouth to cover the two obvious black round marks on her arm.
After taking a big sip, he spat it out on the ground. A pool of black blood fell to the ground. He took a look at it, then stared at her arm. It seemed to be lighter, so he continued to suck over and over again for several times.
Only when he saw the black mark on her arm fade away, leaving only the normal slightly red feeling, did he raise his head and stare at her condition.
He felt relieved when he found that the expression on Rong Su's face seemed less painful. He raised his hand and wiped his lips with his fingertips. He lowered his eyes and saw some sticky black blood on his fingertips, but he ignored it and took out a handkerchief from his bosom and gently wiped the wet marks on her arm.
When wiping, he slowed down his movements, treating it as if it were a treasure, not daring to use force and treating it very gently.
Rong Su, who was in a coma, originally thought that she was really going to lose her life, but she gradually regained consciousness. In her hazy consciousness, she could feel something as soft as the softest silk nibbling on her arm, warm and soft.
There was a very comfortable and special feeling, and she relaxed her body unconsciously until her mind became clear, and the pain that had initially spread throughout her body was driven away by the gentle feeling.
Rong Su slowly struggled to open her eyes, and Shen Peiqing's stern face slowly emerged in her blurred vision. But she didn't know if she was hallucinating, but she saw unimaginable tenderness in his eyes.
Those black eyes that usually contained endless coldness now seemed to be filled with the warm sunshine in winter. Just a glance could sweep away all the anxiety and pain.
Gradually, she regained her vision and saw his face clearly. She slowly asked, "How am I... okay?"
As soon as he heard Rong Su's voice, the gentleness in Shen Peiqing's eyes disappeared instantly, leaving only a faint coldness. He stuffed the handkerchief in his hand into Rong Su's hand and looked at her coldly.
"It's okay, just get up. Because of your impulsive behavior, we have wasted a lot of time."
When Rong Su heard what he said, she was about to get angry, but when she glanced around and saw that the mark on her arm had faded and there was a pool of black blood on the ground, she immediately understood what had happened.
She also recalled that before she fell into a coma, she seemed to see Shen Peiqing preparing to suck out the poisonous blood from her.
Everything connected together. Rong Su saw Shen Peiqing had stood up. She reached out and pulled him out: "Shen Peiqing!"
When he saw her suddenly pull him out, he was stunned for a moment, then his expression remained unchanged indifferent, he looked down at her, and silently asked her if there was anything else.
Seeing him like this, Rong Su was simply furious at this man's attitude, but still needed to ask: "Are you?"
But before he could finish his question, Shi Tou's anxious voice was heard.
"Oh no! Master, Doctor Rong, I hear the sound of the sea. It looks like the tide is coming in!"
As Shitou finished speaking, Xu Cao's anxious call was heard from outside the cave.
"Miss Rong! Brother Shen! Brother Shitou! Get out of here! The tide is rising!"
Hearing the tide was coming in, Rong Su was startled. Before she could say anything, Shen Peiqing pulled her up. He said with a serious expression, "What are you still in a daze for? Hurry up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the loud noise of the sea water crashing against the stone walls could be heard in the cave.
The clattering sound could be heard clearly throughout the cave.
Seeing that it was too late to leave before the sea water arrived, Shen Peiqing made a quick decision and called out to Shitou who was walking forward: "Shitou, move back!"
Rong Su was shocked to hear that Shen Peiqing was actually going to walk back. That would be courting death!
"Go back, do you want us all to be drowned by the sea water?"
Shen Peiqing held Rong Su's wrist tightly and ran back. Hearing Rong Su's question, he said coldly, "Since I came in, I've felt the breath of wind from both sides of this cave. That means this salt water cave doesn't have only one entrance and exit."
Hearing this, Rong Su felt a little surprised again. She didn't expect Shen Peiqing to observe so carefully.
Maybe I was so busy looking for Snow Seven Grass that I forgot to observe the environment carefully.
Noticing that Rong Su was distracted and couldn't keep up with him, Shen Peiqing shouted at her, "Rong Su, cheer up!"
After hearing this shout, Rong Su immediately came back to his senses and started to escape seriously.
The surging sea water behind them was like a man-eating beast, and was now approaching them.
The sound of the splashing sea water no longer brings the sense of peace and tranquility that one hears at night.
Now it is a monster that is trying to kill them. If they are not careful, they may die in this salt water cave today.
The further Rong Su ran towards the back of the cave, the more she felt a slight breeze and air. It seemed that what Shen Peiqing said was right, the cave had more than one exit.
She couldn't help but feel relieved: "Shen Peiqing, do you feel it? There is wind ahead."
But the person who was pulling her didn't say much. Just when she thought that this guy was deliberately ignoring her and was about to get angry, she found that something was wrong with him. He ran unsteadily and staggered.
Before he could see anything, a panicked voice from Shitou rang out: "Master, Doctor Rong, the sea water is coming!"
Then, before Rong Su could react, she was hugged tightly in someone's arms. Then she felt herself sinking into the sea, and a feeling of suffocation came over her.
She would have been washed to the edge of the stone wall by the sea water, but her body did not feel any pain. She opened her eyes and saw darkness, but she could still feel someone holding her tightly, and his hand on her back through the stone wall.
There was no time to say anything. My head became dizzy from the impact of the sea water, and then I completely lost consciousness.
It was not until an unknown amount of time had passed that Rong Su slowly woke up from the headache, and her vision was blurry.
I blinked for a long time before regaining my clear vision. When I opened my eyes, I found that I seemed to be in a pile of sand on the coast.
He struggled to get up from the sand pile, was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked for Shen Peiqing.
"Shen Peiqing! Shen Peiqing!"
Not getting a response, Rong Su was a little panicked. Could something have happened?
He immediately stood up from the sand pile and looked around for someone. Finally, he found Shen Peiqing who was also lying in the sand pile not far away.
Rong Su hurried over to check Shen Peiqing's pulse and found that it was still beating. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
But then she noticed that Shen Peiqing's lips were black, and although his pulse was beating, it was as weak as a lamp that was about to go out.
After discovering this problem, Rong Su panicked and reached out to shove Shen Peiqing: "Wake up! Shen Peiqing! You can't die!"
No matter how I pushed him, he didn't respond. I realized I couldn't go on like this.
At this time, she also understood that it was Shen Peiqing who sucked out the snake venom for her, and that was why she was unconscious because of the remaining snake venom in her body.
Rong Su frowned, looking at Shen Peiqing who was in a terrible state. His clothes were already torn, as if they had been cut by something hard.
She remembered that when they were hit by the sea water, he was the one who held her in his arms and protected her from being hit against the rock wall.
Looking at Shen Peiqing's pale face, she felt mixed emotions.
"Shen Peiqing, if you want to be cold-hearted, you should stay cold all the time. You're pretending to be a hero in front of me. That doesn't suit you."
Rong Su sneered and cursed him while rummaging through her body for various medicine bottles.
I threw all the medicine bottles on the ground, and some of the medicine bottles I had prepared were missing.
She didn't show any anxiety on her face, but her heart was full of anxiety. Where, where on earth was her antidote pill?
With his fingers covered in gray gravel, he finally found an oval bottle.
She looked surprised, and with slightly trembling fingers she pulled out the cork of the bottle, then hurriedly poured out a light brown pill.
He pinched the pill and stuffed it into Shen Peiqing's mouth, but the man kept his lips and teeth tightly closed and it wouldn't go in no matter how hard he tried.
Rong Su immediately became anxious: "Shen Peiqing! Are you really looking for death? Swallow it! That's the medicine to save your life!"
He had lost consciousness, so how could he hear what she said? Rong Su's hand holding the pill was shaking, and an inexplicable panic spread in her heart.
Although she had no idea why, at this moment she just didn't want Shen Peiqing to die in front of her.
Feeling that Shen Peiqing's breath was getting weaker, she didn't care about anything else and just held the pill in her mouth, intending to feed him in this way.
Then he heard Shitou's soft call.
"Master, Doctor Rong."
Hearing Shitou's voice, she was stunned for a moment, then she thought of something and called Shitou over: "Shitou! Come here quickly! Your master's poison has spread, help him take this pill!"
When Shi Tou heard that Shen Peiqing's poison was spreading, he immediately climbed out of the sand pile, ran to Shen Peiqing's side, and took the pill from Rong Su's hand without saying a word.
