Polygonum cataimo

Poisonous Polygonum japonica, but it can relieve the pain and slow down the speed of toxin diffusion.

Thinking of this, Heizi stood up, picked a big emerald green leaf from the entrance of the cave, put Ogiwara on it, and walked out of the cave.

When the sun was about to set, Heizi returned to the cave with a small pool of dew.

In the demon world, dew has the effect of purifying the body and enhancing the power of demons, which is extremely precious to every plant.Because it was not early in the morning, the dew was given to him from the dew they had stored by the trees and flowers after they learned the reason of the incident from Heizi.

After Kuroko put Ogiwara in the dew, he breathed a sigh of relief.Perhaps it was because of the sudden relaxation of his tense nerves, or because of excessive consumption of demon power, he immediately lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

He changed back to his original shape. Due to the lack of demon power, his body, which was in urgent need of recovery, got into the soil, and only a white flower was exposed on the ground.

……

the second part

Heizi, who was lost in memory, suddenly heard rustling sounds from the grass beside him.He held his breath, stood up and took a small step back.He wanted to hide in the mud, but he gave up thinking that Ogiwara was still in the hole.

In case it's aphids again...

Heizi frowned tightly, he decided to go ahead and find out.

The voices in the grass did not stop.

He approached the bushes with light steps, gently pushed aside the branches and leaves on both sides with his hands, and found that it turned out to be a golden Ganoderma lucidum.

The original shape of Ganoderma lucidum and Heizi are about the same size, and there are three mushroom caps of different sizes arranged vertically.But... What surprised Heizi was that there were cobra-like things growing on both sides of the mushroom cap.

"You..." Heizi took a step back, and at the same time was about to give the monster in front of him a hard blow.

Because of the ferocious appearance with the cobra, Heizi felt that it must not be a good monster.

"Wait, wait!" One of the "cobras" spoke, and stretched towards Heizi, "Please don't hurt us!"

The high-pitched voice of the female genie made one sound uncomfortable.

Heizi withdrew the demon power that had reached his fingertips, and took another step back without any trace.

The monster in front of me struggled to move out of the grass, and the other "cobra" said: "I'm sorry to disturb you, we are the little golden ganoderma, because we were injured, so we came here..." Saying, "Cobra Heizi glanced at his stem, only to notice that there were three claw marks there, and a little transparent golden yellow liquid flowed out from the wound.

"You..." Seeing that they were injured like Ogiwara, Heizi had a resonance of "the same people who have fallen in the end of the world".

He squatted down, his eyes revealed deep sympathy, he held the little golden ganoderma in his hand, and asked softly, "Are you okay?"

"...Although I really want to say that it's nothing serious, but..."

Heizi patted their heads and said, "My friend is also injured... If you don't mind, please let me take care of you."

"Is it really possible? But... why?" The two "cobras" straightened up and asked in surprise.

"Of course, because I believe you are not a monster like aphid, and monsters should help each other." Heizi showed a gentle smile, "My name is Heizi Tetsuya, may I ask who you are..."

"I am Xiao Huang, and she is Xiao Jin! We are Xiao Huang Lingzhi." Xiao Huang said, "Hello, Heizi!"

Xiao Huang is slightly bigger than Xiao Jin, and has a more open temper.

Although they have the vicious appearance of a cobra, they don't seem to be that scary.

Heizi stood up and brought the little golden ganoderma back to the cave.

Back in the cave, Xiao Huang noticed a lotus leaf on the floor, looked forward, and asked, "Is he...? And what happened to him? Was he injured?"

"He is my good friend Ogiwara Chenghao, who was attacked by aphids a few days ago... Oh, aphids are the natural enemies of our clan, and Ogiwara-kun became like this just to save me..." Heizi knelt down and held Xiao Jin Ganoderma lucidum was put aside, "But now I have no way to save him..."

Hearing Heizi's words, Xiaojin thought for a while, then stretched out his body in front of Heizi, and said, "I have a way, and I should be able to save him. But...it may be very difficult."

"Please tell me! No matter how difficult it is, as long as I can save Ogiwara-kun..."

"Xiao Jin? You have a solution?" Xiao Huang spat out the letter, approached Xiao Jin and looked at her in surprise.And Xiao Jin winked at Xiao Huang in a direction that Hei Zi could not see, signaling her to keep silent.

Xiao Huang Xin understood and stopped talking, waiting for Xiao Jin to continue speaking.

Xiao Jin asked: "I don't know if you have heard recently that Hongshan is going to change its name?"

Heizi stood up, thought carefully for a while, and then said, "I heard passing monsters discussing this matter. Does this have anything to do with saving Ogiwara-kun?"

"Of course." Xiao Jin straightened his body, and kept spitting out the letter as if he was a little excited, "Do you know who defeated Lord Hongcun, the king of Hongshan Mountain?"

"Hmm... I heard from the tree grandfather next door that it's Akashi-sama?"

"That's right." There was a strange look in Xiaojin's eyes, but she deliberately hid it, so Heizi didn't notice, "He carries a panacea that is said to be able to cure all diseases and enhance demon power. If Ogiwara-kun eats it, I think it will definitely heal."

"Really?" Kuroko asked in surprise, just as Ogiwara just finished "cleaning".

Kuroko took Ogiwara out of the muddy water and put it on the ground.After a while, Ogiwara turned into a human form again.

"Ogiwara-kun, did you hear that? There is a way to save you!"

"Heizi..." Ogiwara opened his eyes in a daze, "This is...?"

Heizi saw Ogiwara looking at the little golden ganoderma, so he put them in front of Ogiwara, and said, "They are little golden ganoderma, this is Xiao Huang, and this is Xiao Jin."

"Hello, Ogihara!"

"Uh... hello." For no reason, Ogiwara always felt that this little golden ganoderma looked weird.

"Ogiwara-kun, Xiao Jin said that Lord Akashi has a panacea in his body, which can cure the poison of aphids."

"Master Akashi...?" Ogiwara frowned suspiciously, "Isn't that the new king of the mountain who took office a few days ago?"

"That's right, that's right."

"Since you can defeat Lord Hongcun, you must have a very high level of cultivation." Ogihara sighed, "Heizi, you should not take risks."

"That's right..." The glimmer of hope that Heizi had caught just now was instantly shattered, "But..."

Seeing that Heizi hesitated for a moment, Xiao Huang said, "But no matter how strong a person is, there will be flaws. Akashi put the elixir in a red cloth bag and hung it around his waist. I heard about it for a few days, and Akashi's His friend Kise will invite him to his home to celebrate Akashi's successful defeat of Master Hongcun. After Akashi and Kise and the others have had a drink, their sanity will definitely not be as clear as usual. Get it."

Ogihara frowned: "How do you know so clearly?"

Xiao Huang didn't expect Ogiwara to ask such a question, and the snake head swayed from side to side to avoid Ogiwara's interrogating eyes.She explained: "This is what we heard from other monsters, don't you think so, Xiao Jin?"

Xiao Jin nodded silently.

Ogihara didn't seem convinced by their reasons, he thought for a while and said to Heizi, "Heizi, I think it's better not to take this risk."

"No, Ogiwara-kun." Heizi's eyes revealed a kind of firmness, "I think what Xiao Jin Lingzhi said makes sense, so I decided to give it a try."

"Can……"

"Ogiwara-kun, you are my only true friend, I don't want you to wait for death like my family."

"Heizi..." Ogihara pursed her lips tightly.He understood Heizi's character, as long as Heizi had already made up his mind, no matter how much he tried to persuade him, it would be useless.

So in the end he sighed helplessly and said to Heizi, "Then you must be careful and put your own safety first."

"Of course." Heizi smiled for the first time since Ogiwara was poisoned, "Didn't we make an appointment to travel all over the demon world together?"

"Yeah." Ogiwara also responded to Heizi with a smile, but he was still a little uneasy.

He didn't completely trust the little golden ganoderma that suddenly appeared in front of him.Judging by their looks, they were also injured. Since the panacea can cure all diseases and enhance the demon power, why did they tell them this?Is it kind?No... In the demon world, there is no pure kindness.

Except for monsters of the same race, others cannot be completely trusted, this is what his elders once told him.

Ogihara closed his eyes and thought silently in his heart, but after all, he couldn't overcome the fatigue caused by "cleaning", and fell asleep unconsciously.

After seeing Ogihara asleep, Heizi bid farewell to Little Golden Ganoderma and asked them to take care of Ogihara temporarily.And he wanted to collect some information about Akashi.

Heizi walked out of the cave and headed east.This road is the most prosperous place in the demon world, equivalent to a commercial street in human society.He thought that everyone was discussing Akashi recently, so there should be a lot of information obtained in the busiest place.

Heizi approached an old tree, where several foxes were sitting.

A pure white fox said: "I heard that the chief reporter of "Secrets in the Mountains" a few days ago..."

Kuroko interrupted them: "Excuse me, are you talking about Lord Akashi?"

An older fox raised its head and sized Heizi up and down with scrutiny, but did not answer Heizi's question.
