Chasing from the dark night until dawn fell into the forest, the two figures were getting closer and closer.

The coldness of early spring makes the branches and leaves in the forest condense crystal dewdrops, the morning sun shines from the clouds and mist, and the golden light is scattered to the shallows of the lake.

The dense reeds drew a clear trajectory due to the strong wind, and Changying's cultivation base was weak due to the previous spell casting, so being chased by Mr. Li for a whole night like this must be physically exhausting.

Changying had no choice but to jump into the lake in an emergency to try to avoid Mr. Li's pursuit.

The flat lake surface was set against the green hills, Ji Li tapped the water surface with his toes, and hovered above, frowning slightly, patrolling the desolate place.

Ji Li didn't think that Chang Ying could escape so quickly, so he carefully inspected the lake.

Chang Ying, who dived into the lake, was nervous and did not dare to move. She held the spar around her neck with her palm, fearing that she would be found hiding.

But because Changying focused on the water surface, she completely forgot that the shadows moving in the depths of the lake were rapidly approaching her.

The morning sun's light wasn't particularly strong, and Ji Li tried to observe by several lakes but couldn't find any movement.

The entire long and narrow lake spread far away, Ji Li looked at the towering reeds a little helplessly, and wondered if she really let her run away?

Changying watched Master Li's figure disappear among the reeds with her own eyes, she blinked lightly, although she couldn't help but want to come out of the water for a breath, but she still wanted to wait.

Unexpectedly, there was a stabbing pain in her ankle, and Chang Ying was strangled by a few cold hands around her neck and shoulders. Her eyes were horrified as she watched these monsters with scattered black long hair but only hollow skeletons approaching.

Changying tried to stretch her arms and legs to struggle against their restraints, but they were too close.

The tingling pain in the back of the neck made Changying choke on the lake water, and the sudden breathing between the mouth and nose filled with air bubbles.

The blood oozing from the wound on the neck quickly stained a water surface red.

Ji Li didn't go far, but when he saw something was wrong, he jumped into the pool.

There is a little light on the water surface in the lake, but the rest is pitch black.

If Ji Li hadn't been familiar with the smell of blood, Ji Li would hardly have been able to find the Chang Ying who was dragged into the depths by the water ghosts.

The water ghost is one of the fierce ghosts in the underworld. When Ji Li went to the Yin and took the Requiem Orbs, he probably released these things and hid them here to harm people.

Ji Li reached out and broke off the head of the water ghost that was crawling around Changying's neck and was about to eat it. The other water ghost bit the white wrist desperately. The icicle pierced through the water ghost's body.

A column of water rushed out of the lake, and at the same time, countless severed limbs were mixed in. Ji Li hugged the dying Chang Ying and emerged from the water.

Changying's cultivation base was weak, and the flame beads were afraid of water, so she gave those water ghosts a chance.

In the dry cave in the mountain forest at night, when Changying woke up, she only felt that her throat was very fishy, ​​and her whole body was in pain like a poisonous insect bite.

"Don't move." Ji Li looked at the blurry wound on her neck where the bones were exposed, and reached out to stop her movement, "You were seriously injured by the water ghost."

Ji Li pushed back the fine hair on her cheeks with his fingertips, and looked at her red and swollen face, both distressed and annoyed, but it's hard to say that she is so hurt now.

Changying looked at Master Li with a pale face, and only vaguely remembered seeing those human-like monsters pounced on her in the water.

"What are those?" Chang Ying still has lingering fears after thinking about it.

Seeing that her wounds were healing too slowly, Ji Li patiently explained to her: "Water ghosts are ghosts formed by the resentment of human beings who died in the water. They can't be reincarnated because their bodies can't be buried, so they want to kill them." people."

Changying glanced at Master Li who was holding the knife and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Water ghosts are poisonous. Ordinary people will definitely die if they are bitten. Now you can only goug out the bitten flesh and blood. Otherwise, although you won't die, you will gradually become like them. look."

"Ah?" Changying was so frightened that her face turned pale.

Seeing her reaction like this, Ji Li could only speak out: "If you are afraid of pain, I will beat you unconscious, so as to save you from yelling."

Changying looked at the reflective knife and responded timidly: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you are ugly."

"It doesn't matter?" Ji Li raised his eyebrows and looked down at her bruised and swollen face, "If you don't goug out the flesh and blood, you will first continue to have a fever, then your skin will continue to develop pus and rot, and finally mold and fester. Not only your face, but also your internal organs will rot, and you will never see the light of day."

The water ghost is extremely afraid of the sun, but if the Fu Ling grass demon does not see the sun for a long time, it will die.

Changying was intimidated by Mr. Li in this way, so she could only grit her teeth and agree.

From night to dawn, Changying opened her eyes in a daze, only to feel that her cheeks were wrapped in gauze like a steamed bun.

And most of his body was wrapped in gauze, but because of the strong recovery of the Fuling Grass Demon, Chang Ying no longer felt the pain.

When Ji Li came in from the outside, he brought a lot of grass, leaves, trees and vines, and he looked very tired.

"How do you feel?" Ji Li put his hand on her forehead to test the temperature.

"It doesn't seem to be hurting anymore." Changying's face was still numb, and she spoke awkwardly.

Ji Li sat cross-legged at the side and cut the grass leaves and vines into small pieces with a knife, then picked the right ones and threw them into the earthen pot beside him.

Soon Changying could smell the strong smell of medicinal soup, Ji Li turned around and unwrapped the gauze for Changying, looked at the rapidly scabbed wound and said, "Drink the medicinal soup for a few more days, I guess it should be healed."

Changying was helped to sit up, but because her whole hand was still wrapped in gauze and she didn't receive the medicine soup, she had to be fed by Master Li.

"Wait, it's hot." Changying said quickly.

Ji Li pursed his thin lips and cast a spell to cool down the medicinal soup, then he passed the medicinal soup and said, "It's not hot anymore, drink it."

The medicinal soup tasted very strange, and Changying wanted to vomit several times but was frightened and held back by Mr. Li's overly stern eyes.

After a few days like this, when the gauze on the long face was removed, it had already recovered a lot, but the lost flesh and blood would take a long time to recover.

Changying didn't expect that Master Li would suddenly collapse in front of her unexpectedly.

The hot face made Changying even hotter to touch, Changying hugged Master Li and lay down in a panic, calling: "Master Li, what's the matter with you?"

It's just that she didn't get a response, and Changying was so worried that she didn't dare to touch Master Li.

In the night, Changying wiped Li's sweaty face with water and whispered, "Strange, why does it seem to be getting hotter and hotter?"

"Why don't I ask a doctor to take a look?" Changying doesn't know how to identify herbs and can't feel the pulse like Master Li, so he can only see that Master Li is unconscious.

Before the words were finished, Chang Ying's wrist was tightly grasped, so hard that red marks were pinched out.

"Don't leave!" Ji Li shouted in a daze.

Changying was so frightened that she quickly asked, "Master Li, are you awake?"

But there was no response, and the strength of his wrist also gradually loosened.

Because she was busy avoiding Mr. Li's pursuit, Changying actually didn't know where she ran to.

Now that he doesn't know where the doctor is, Zhang Ying blames himself for the whole night, until Mr. Li has no strength to let go of his hand.

Changying's eyes turned red, and she made up her mind to take her down the mountain to see a doctor.

So Chang Ying grabbed Mrs. Li's wrist and brought her up, but she didn't expect that there was a large festering wound on the exposed white wrist.

The red and purple rot spread from her arms to her shoulder blades and even began to appear on her cheeks.

It was only then that Changying realized that Master Li might also have been bitten by a water ghost.

That day, Chang Ying fed Master Li with blood, and then tirelessly carried Master Li out of the cave, but there were deserted places everywhere, so he could only wander around in a hurry.

After Changying wandered around in the forest for a day, it suddenly rained heavily, making the road in the forest even more difficult.

The mountain road was rugged, and Chang Ying couldn't help crying as she walked anxiously: "Master Li, don't die, okay?"

The cold rain made the feverish Ji Li recover a little bit of consciousness, and his drooping fingertips moved slowly.

Because of the heavy rain, Chang Ying tied a crude umbrella made of large leaves on her body, but her whole body was still very wet.

"What are you doing?"

Ji Li was breathing heavily, and slowly realized that he was being carried on his back by her.

Tears still hung in the corners of Changying's eyes, she turned her head and looked around in surprise: "Master Li, why are you awake?"

Ji Li's drooping eyes with heavy eyelids leaned close to her afraid of the cold and said, "You are too noisy, can I not wake up?"

"I didn't mean to quarrel with the adults." Maybe it was because of typhoid fever from the rain or maybe it was because of crying for too long, Changying responded with a muffled voice.

"It's raining so much, where are you taking me?"

Changying shrugged her nose and responded: "Master Li was bitten by a water ghost, so I wanted to take Sir Li to see a doctor, but now I seem to have lost my way."

What she said was so straightforward that Ji Li didn't even have the strength to refute her. He just raised his finger and pointed forward: "Go straight in this direction, and you should be able to see the village."

"Okay!" Changying was tired and hungry at first, but now that Master Li woke up, she dared not delay for a moment.

The rain stopped at dusk, and the dim sunset glow was reflected in the mountains and forests.

Because of the flame beads, the clothes of the two dried quickly.

Ji Li rested his head on Chang Ying's shoulder in a drowsy state, and saw that she was sweating profusely from the side of her face, presumably she must be extremely tired.

"How long have you been carrying me?" Ji Li asked as he wiped her sweat with his fingertips.

Changying carefully discerned the path in the dead branches of the grass: "The cave I left yesterday morning, this mountain is so big, I accidentally walked into the tiger's cave last night."

Ji Li couldn't help being amused by her stupidity, but when he saw the rot on the back of his hand, he couldn't help but look serious and said in a low voice, "Is my face ugly?"

"It's not ugly." Changying looked at the rot on Mr. Li's pale face and responded seriously.

"You're lying." Ji Li turned his head to avoid her eyes and said nothing dullly.

If it is not treated in time, this rot spot will always exist.

Changying was afraid of making Mr. Li unhappy by talking too much, so she said in a low voice: "It's really not ugly."

Birds and beasts came out to move around at night in the forest, and the two people walking alone were injured. This was an extremely dangerous situation, and Ji Li specially asked Chang Ying to light a torch to drive them away.

The eyes of the pack of wolves in the dark night shone with dim light, Chang Ying looked at them curiously and asked, "Strange, do they want to go to the doctor with us?"

Sweat dripped down Ji Li's cheeks, and he answered weakly, "Stupid, they want to eat us."

Ji Li was all too familiar with this kind of beast siege.

When Changying heard this, she lost her previous curiosity and hurried on her way.

I thought I couldn't let the wolves take Master Li away!
