Chapter 2005 - 464: Lei Ming Poisoned
The man also noticed the unfamiliar man ahead who kept his back to them.
From this person, he sensed bursts of murderous aura and unfriendly glances. If they kept entangling with him, perhaps the person really would kill them.
As long as the green hills remain, you won't fear running out of firewood. Wait until we meet up with Master and the Elders, then it's not too late to settle accounts with these two punks.
"Junior Sister, we're leaving!"
"Next time when you're sneaking around, remember to find a slightly more discreet spot. Broad daylight, what a display."
Lei Ming reminded the couple with a tone full of teasing.
"Damn it!"
The man clenched his fist, extremely angry.
However, he did not turn back; instead, he left step by step under the cover of humiliation.
"Let's go!"
Crying out once, Lin Yifan left alone.
"Hey! Big Brother Lin, wait for me."
...
After searching for over ten minutes, they finally found their lodging spot for the night.
After setting up a campfire and having a hearty meal, they drifted off to sleep.
The next day, the couple who had been sneaking around immediately went to meet with Master and the Elders.
They informed Master and the Elders about the intruders who had entered the Jitian Rainforest, leaving it to them to decide what to do.
Upon learning that outsiders had infiltrated the Jitian Rainforest, and furthermore, they were from the Kingdom of Leizhen, the Elders of the highest academy in Weiji Country were furious.
However, they were also curious, how did those two punks manage to get in?
They remember that the outside of Jitian Rainforest is heavily guarded, not even a fly could get through.
There seems to be something strange about this, they need to act cautiously.
After a night's rest, Lin Yifan and Lei Ming got up early and set off for their training.
In the morning, they had a fruitful harvest, gaining quite a few high-realm Spiritual Pearls.
In the afternoon, something ominous occurred.
The two entered a tranquil world, one in front of the other.
The place was extremely quiet, not even the sound of insects could be heard.
The more this was the case, the more they felt there was something wrong here.
After being by Big Brother Lin's side for so long, Lei Ming naturally knew what a safe place was and what a dangerous place was.
He was on full alert to prevent any attacks by any entity or Spirit Beast.
Suddenly, a light breeze passed, stirring the sound of swaying branches and leaves.
Lei Ming felt a chill, sensing that something major was about to happen.
And Lin Yifan was watching all the surroundings calmly, wanting to know where the danger would come from.
Venturing deeper, everything seemed peaceful.
But as they walked on, Lei Ming suddenly felt unwell, dizzy and lightheaded, seemingly poisoned.
"Big Brother Lin... Big Brother Lin..."
He wanted to call for help, but Lin Yifan had the same symptoms.
Lin Yifan dared not be careless, immediately taking out a Hundred-Cures Pill and swallowing it.
Meanwhile, suddenly, a few brilliant flowers appeared beside Lei Ming.
These flowers were different from ordinary ones, oval-shaped, resembling a human's mouth.
Like they had found food, the flowers frantically stuck to Lei Ming, no matter how he tried, they wouldn't come off.
In this critical moment, Lei Ming had no choice but to use his last bit of strength to cry out, "Big Brother Lin! Save..."
Before he could finish the last word, he collapsed.
Having steadied his poisoning, Lin Yifan immediately turned back to check.
Seeing Lei Ming being continuously drained of pure Cultivation Power by a few brilliant flowers, he immediately got angry and swung his sword to cut off the frantic flowers.
As they separated from Lei Ming, the vibrant flowers quickly died, no longer able to absorb the Cultivation Power from him.
However, before dying, they injected all their toxins into Lei Ming's body, suggesting that Lei Ming might not have much time to live.
The matter was not yet over, more and more vibrant flowers appeared around them, surrounding them heavily.
Seeing this, Lin Yifan wielded the Seven-Colored Immortal Sword, striking out sword qi in all directions.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
In an instant, a large swath of vibrant flowers fell, suffering tremendous casualties.
The toxic air was too thick to stay long; after repelling one wave of attack, Lin Yifan immediately picked up Lei Ming and swiftly flew away.
After withdrawing from this tranquil place, he immediately took out the Hundred-Cures Pill, feeding it to Lei Ming.
In a short while, Lei Ming regained consciousness.
However, Lei Ming felt his condition was worsening; he felt a dull pain in his chest, a lack of strength in his limbs, a pounding headache, and extreme discomfort.
"Big Brother Lin, I... I seem to... still not be better!"
Lin Yifan immediately took his pulse, and was greatly surprised by what he found.
The toxins had already flowed into Lei Ming's five organs, now slowly invading them.
Consuming the Hundred-Cures Pill had no adverse effects on him, but why was Lei Ming like this?
Could it be due to those vibrant flowers?
Feeling that something was amiss, Lin Yifan quickly flipped through the medical book to see which poisonous flowers could cause such symptoms in Lei Ming.
After a search, he quickly found out what kind of poisonous flower injured them, and it turned out to be the highly toxic Poisonous Manflower.
Poisonous Manflowers typically only grow in high-dimensional worlds, how is there one here?
He felt that he had stepped into an unprecedentedly dangerous forest, one far more terrifying and threatening than he had imagined.
The medical book contained the antidote formula for this poison and its refinement process; as long as he could gather these medicinal materials, he could save Lei Ming.
Checking over the list of medicinal materials in the book, he found that he was missing one material, which was the Gexing Root.
Gexing Root is the root of the Gexing Grass, meaning that finding Gexing Grass would lead to saving Lei Ming.
But in such a vast world, where would one find Gexing Grass?
Moreover, Lei Ming's current condition was not optimistic, possibly unable to hold on for much longer.
In hesitation, he again took out a Hundred-Cures Pill for Lei Ming, hoping it would be effective.
The Hundred-Cures Pill is an elixir specifically for curing various poisons, although it can't fully neutralize the Poisonous Manflower's toxins, its medicinal properties could temporarily ease the progression of the poisoning.
With this as the foundation, Lin Yifan's heart eased a lot more.
Lei Ming, whose condition improved a bit, looked anxiously at Lin Yifan, clinging tightly to Lin Yifan's arm, refusing to let go: "Big Brother Lin, will I... will I die?"
He was extremely agitated, feeling like his days were numbered.
"Don't think too much, as long as I'm around, I won't let anything happen to you," Lin Yifan comforted him.
"Big Brother Lin, if I can't go back, you must help my father choose a wise king to succeed the Kingdom of Leizhen. Also, when you return to the high-dimensional world, please ask someone to take good care of Leizhen in the World of All Things," Lei Ming earnestly instructed.
"We haven't gone to the Western Paradise yet, what last words are there to say?" Lin Yifan pouted, asking in annoyance.
"Big Brother Lin, don't comfort me anymore, I know my own condition well."
"Enough, big brother has already found a detoxification method; as long as you give me some time, I'll be able to remove all the poison from your body," Lin Yifan responded.
"Really?"
"Why would I lie to you?"
Lei Ming was filled with joy, seeming to see hope again; however, he was still worried inside.
But it was much better than before.
Calming down his emotions, he curiously asked, "Big Brother Lin, what kind of poison did I get? And why weren't you affected?"
"I wasn't affected, of course, because I didn't get kissed by the Poisonous Manflowers."
