Chapter 594 Detoxification
"who."
Zhou Zhi's indifferent and cold voice echoed in the empty cave, but no one answered and the surroundings remained quiet.
then.
He released his mental power to sense the surroundings again. Apart from a few docile small star beasts a few dozen meters away, there were no other people or animals nearby.
See this.
Zhou Zhi frowned and looked away.
He lowered his eyes tiredly, pursed his lips lightly, bent his bony fingers and tapped his knees lightly, which was a small action he made when he was lost in thought.
strangeness.
Just now when he closed his eyes to rest, he clearly smelled a faint citrus scent. Could it be the wind blowing in from outside the cave, or was it an illusion caused by his poisoning?
Zhou Zhi couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.
The bonfire in the cave had begun to gradually get smaller. He stood up expressionlessly, picked up the remaining dead branches in the cave and threw them into the fire.
However, this action seemed to affect the wounds on his waist and abdomen, so that he covered his chest and coughed lightly, and his already ugly face became even paler.
He had suffered considerable injuries when he was being chased and intercepted by the star beasts.
The storage ring on my body was also lost.
Although he is hungry and thirsty now, he has no time to pick wild fruits or hunt. After all, the person who is targeting him behind the scenes is still eyeing him and may attack him at any time.
and so.
He could only seize the time to rest.
After recovering some of the depleted physical strength, we will immediately set off and try to get out of the forest as soon as possible and reunite with the main force.
As for the toxins in the body...
After entering the Dunson Military Academy, he underwent drug and poison resistance training. The effects and effectiveness of ordinary toxins on him would be greatly reduced, which was enough to allow him to hold on for a while longer.
After seeing Zhou Zhi's actions, Lu Chihuan also breathed a sigh of relief.
I guess it was just an accident.
I guess no one can see me in my soul state, so Zhou Zhi naturally couldn't be an accident.
But the self in the soul state——
How to help Zhou Zhi?
Zhou Zhiji couldn't see himself.
He couldn't hear himself speak, and he couldn't even write on the ground for Zhou Zhi to see.
After all, even if he wanted to touch other objects in his soul state, his hands or body would basically pass through them directly.
Now.
Lu Chihuan turned his eyes for help to the world consciousness residing on the fluorite jade on his wrist.
This firefly jade seemed to be bound to his soul, so even though he only had his soul left, he still couldn't break away.
The world consciousness coughed dryly.
"cough."
"Don't be nervous."
It whispered to Lu Chihuan to comfort him, "I will give you some of my strength now."
"You can wrap this power around your soul, allowing you to briefly access things on this timeline. However, the power is not sufficient, so you should use it sparingly."
The corner of Lu Chihuan's mouth twitched.
He really couldn't stand the fact that the world consciousness was still so stingy.
However, the current situation was not convenient for him to bargain with the world consciousness, so he just said in a hurry, "You... forget it, you should quickly share your power with me."
After the firefly jade on his wrist flashed, a trace of power flowed along it to Lu Chihuan's arm, and then spread to his whole body.
All of a sudden.
Lu Chihuan only felt that his originally cold soul seemed to warm up a little.
He raised the corner of his lip in excitement.
Then he gently pushed off the ground with his feet and floated out of the cave where Zhou Zhi was resting in the form of a soul. After going out, he closed his eyes and concentrated the power stored in his soul on his right hand.
It seemed that he was trying out whether the power given to him by the world consciousness was useful.
As for...
The reason why he didn't try it in the cave was that he was worried that he might disguise himself in front of Zhou Zhi, and given Zhou Zhi's level of vigilance, they might have to fight before they confirmed each other's identities.
His right hand seemed to be gently wrapped by something, and then Lu Chihuan found that his hand could touch the branches and leaves around him.
But his hands still seemed transparent and others could not see them with the naked eye.
See this.
Lu Chihuan was not disappointed.
This is probably some measure taken by the world consciousness in order to avoid causing the butterfly effect and thus changing Zhou Zhi's timeline.
and.
It would be too scary if half a hand or a head appeared in the air. I guess he could star in a horror movie right away.
If Zhou Zhi saw this...
He might draw his weapon and attack him immediately.
Think of this.
Lu Chihuan's dark eyes turned a few times involuntarily, and his white and slender fingers rested on his chin as he fell into deep thought again.
The world consciousness couldn't help but speak:
"What are you thinking?"
Lu Chihuan playfully blinked his eyes a few times, with a sly smile on his lips, looking like a smart and complacent little fox, "I was thinking..."
"With my current state, if I want to sneak attack the person who invaded Zhou Zhi's timeline, I will definitely succeed."
By the time--
He just stabbed someone in the dark, the white knife went in and the red knife came out.
Speaking of it.
Lu Chihuan praised the world consciousness and said, "You have done a good thing."
They were talking.
Then a muffled sound was heard coming from the cave, like the sound of something heavy falling to the ground.
For a moment, Lu Chihuan didn't bother to talk to the world consciousness and rushed into the cave in a hurry. He saw Zhou Zhi lying on the ground unconscious. His originally pale face was covered with a layer of faint gray, and his lips were even black and blue.
"The poison seems to have penetrated deeper."
Lu Chihuan frowned.
He concentrated his strength on his right hand, then carefully examined the wounds on Zhou Zhi's body. After a moment, he came to the conclusion:
"In my opinion."
"Brother Zhou must have been bitten by a Theta scorpion that is unique to this small planet S31, so he was poisoned. This kind of scorpion is relatively small in size and often lurks on the bodies of large star beasts."
"Then they would sneak up on you when the large star beasts were fighting, and bite you unexpectedly. In short, it would be hard for you to defend yourself."
"The toxins in its body do not have a very strong effect at first, so people who are bitten by scorpions often neglect it and think it is not serious and do not receive timely treatment."
"But soon they will unconsciously fall into the hallucinations brought by the toxin."
“And then he died.”
Lu Chihuan pinched the tip of his nose in annoyance, thinking that he was negligent.
If he had carefully examined Zhou Zhi's wound at the beginning and found that he was poisoned by the Sita scorpion, he could have reminded Zhou Zhi a word or two and retrieved the antidote earlier.
But there's no use regretting now.
The most urgent task is to find the detoxifying fruit and feed it to Zhou Zhi.
That's right.
The poison of the Sita scorpion is not incurable.
Many things in this world are mutually reinforcing and counteracting. Therefore, near the habitat of the Sita scorpion there grows a kind of ugly-looking and extremely bitter-tasting fruit, which can neutralize the scorpion venom after being eaten.
World consciousness is like a living map for Lu Chihuan.
therefore.
Now he did not hesitate to order the world consciousness to help him find the nearest fruit-growing place. After getting the answer, he covered up the cave where Zhou Zhi was currently settled. In this way, he set off without stopping.
The process of picking the fruits is not difficult.
although.
There is a dense layer of poisonous scorpions living near the fruit. The sharp and poisonous tail hooks are daunting to look at, but Lu Chihuan is now in the state of a soul, so he cannot be seen or touched.
Nothing can hurt him.
So he quickly concentrated the power stored in his soul into his hands, and then picked the fruit from it.
The scorpions were confused for a while after hearing the noise, and then quickly went into a defensive state. However, because they could not find a target to attack, they circled around like headless flies.
Then it slowly calmed down.
Lu Chihuan took the fruits and floated back to Zhou Zhidai's cave.
Zhou Zhi was still in a coma.
But he didn’t know if it was Lu Chihuan’s illusion, he actually felt that Zhou Zhi’s complexion seemed to be a little better than before.
"How can I get him to eat this?"
Lu Chihuan stared at the fruit in his hand in a dilemma. After thinking for a moment, he pursed his lips, and directly used his mental power to squeeze the fruit into juice, and then poured it into the leaves rolled into a triangular cup shape.
At this moment.
He stared at Zhou Zhi who was in a coma.
Even though he was not feeling well now, Zhou Zhi's slightly pale face still showed a bit of coldness and a strong attitude that kept strangers away, which made people feel their hearts tremble when they looked at him.
"Brother Zhou."
"You must cooperate, or I'll have to break your jaw."
"I'm just feeding you medicine. Don't blame me when you wake up. Don't worry... I will definitely put your jaw back after I remove it. I promise it will be the same as before."
After Lu Chihuan muttered a few words in a low voice, he made up his mind again. His slender white fingers pressed on Zhou Zhi's lower lip, and he groped and forced to pry open the other's clenched teeth.
Okay.
No need to force your chin down.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, Lu Chihuan didn't want to use any violence against Zhou Zhi.
He carefully poured most of the juice from the leaves into Zhou Zhi's mouth, then quickly lifted his chin, closed his cold lips, and let him swallow it.
However, I don’t know—
Is the juice too bitter?
Zhou Zhi frowned in his sleep and let out a few violent coughs. The juice that was originally in his mouth flowed out from the corners of his lips.
It even wet his collar.
Lu Chihuan patted his back in a panic, trying to wipe the juice off his lapel. After working himself into a sweat, he finally fed the juice into Zhou Zhi's mouth.
A few minutes later.
The color of Zhou Zhi's slightly dark lips also began to improve visibly.
I guess the poison is starting to dissolve.
Seeing that it was still early before dawn, Lu Chihuan went outside to find some edible wild fruits, then killed a small star beast, and after a simple processing, he skewered it directly on the fire and started roasting it.
Zhou Zhi has a very strong physical fitness.
Therefore, it didn't take long for him to wake up slowly after drinking the juice.
Wait until your senses recover.
The first thing he smelled was the rich aroma of meat, which made Zhou Zhi, who was used to enduring hunger, swallow his food.
Second.
He felt his body was exceptionally relaxed, with a lingering bitter taste in his mouth. The symptoms of limb paralysis, slow movement, hallucinations, etc. caused by the toxin had disappeared.
The poison that had troubled him for hours now seemed to have been resolved.
Is it possible...
Did someone help me?
Zhou Zhi calmly opened his light grey eyes and looked in front of him.
He then discovered that the wounds on his body seemed to have been treated again, with a layer of crushed green herbs applied on them, so the pain in the wounds was no longer so obvious.
It even feels a bit cold.
In his right hand was a bag of wild fruits covered with leaves. Most of them were edible, and they seemed to have been washed in water, so there were obvious water droplets on them.
A small star beast was being roasted on a fire not far away.
All of a sudden.
Zhou Zhi suspected that he was in a dream.
He pinched the bridge of his nose, and after hearing the crackling sound of the dead branches in the flames, he suddenly came to his senses, and then he lowered his voice and murmured to himself, "It's actually true."
Someone helped me.
But why is there no one in the cave now? Did he go out temporarily for other things, or did he hide because he didn't want to see me... Or maybe he has left now...
Zhou Zhi stood up, holding his abdomen.
When I walked to the fire, I found two sentences written on the ground with a branch. "The fruit and the barbecue are not poisonous, you can eat them without worry. If you want to leave the forest, follow the map below. You can avoid the high-level star beasts from there."
"Also, when I was feeding you the detoxifying juice, I accidentally got your clothes wet and dirty. Sorry, sorry."
Below these two paragraphs is a very simple map.
However, the other party carefully marked the nearby star beast settlements and safe areas for him, and drew a vivid skull where there were high-level star beasts.
It means extremely dangerous.
Looking at the map, Zhou Zhi's originally gloomy mood improved for some reason, and the corners of his lips slightly raised.
He looked up and around.
The light grey pupils were like a tranquil lake, now softened a little, "Although I don't know who you are, and I don't know if you are still in this cave, but I still want to thank you."
Zhou Zhi could be sure that the person who helped him had no ill intentions.
If the other party really wanted to harm me, wouldn't it be better to do nothing at all? Why would I have to work so hard to help me remove the poison and go to so much trouble to find food to feed him?
and so.
Now he did not let the other party down. After sitting cross-legged and memorizing the map in his mind, he directly erased the traces on the ground.
Then he ate all the star beast meat.
After packing up, Zhou Zhi walked out of the cave again and started towards the route indicated on the map. This time he basically did not encounter any danger on the road. However, he could see the corpses of star beasts and fresh blood wherever he passed.
like-
Someone had cleared out the star beasts in advance for him, as if nipping the danger in the bud.
