.Zhang Xiaoruo finally recovered after a period of rest.
Originally, she had been beaten so hard that she couldn't even move, but fortunately, she was quite strong and had a strong recovery ability.
Zhang Xiaoruo slowly opened her eyes and sat up. There was still a trace of fatigue in her eyes that had not faded away. She only felt that her head was extremely dizzy and her body was as heavy as lead. Every movement was consuming. Great strength.
She moved her fingers slightly and could feel the soreness coming from her muscles.
However, the moment her eyes met with Chulian, a strong sense of oppression hit her face.
Shen Lian stared at Zhang Xiaoruo fiercely, her eyes seemed to be able to spit out fire, so hot that it made people feel scared.
He gritted his teeth, and the muscles around his cheeks bulged slightly, and his angry look made people shudder.
He gritted his teeth and said: "You hateful human woman, I will definitely kill you to death to avenge my blazing chain snake."
His voice was like thunder. It exploded in the air, carrying endless hatred.
Zhang Xiaoruo's heart trembled. The strong sense of oppression made her heart beat faster. She could even hear her heart beating violently in her chest.
But the stubborn woman did not back down and responded with her chest raised.
"Don't be so fierce. The snake attacked me first, and I was just defending myself."
She raised her chin slightly, trying to look more determined.
Chulian's eyes widened in anger, full of anger and sarcasm.
"Self-defense? You chopped my flaming chain snake into several pieces. Is this called self-defense? My blazing chain snake is my most precious treasure, and you must pay a heavy price."< br>
His voice shook the surrounding leaves slightly, and his angry breath made people breathless.
Zhang Xiaoruo frowned and was about to refute, but suddenly felt that there seemed to be deeper pain hidden in Shulian's emotions.
She suddenly felt that she had overlooked something and spoke tentatively.
"Why is that snake so important to you?"
A hint of sorrow flashed in Chuan Lian's eyes, and after a moment of silence, she spoke seriously.
"The Blazing Chain Snake was a thought left to me by the previous successor. Ever since I got it, I have always cared for it. It has accompanied me through countless days and nights and is my only companion. Now, But I was accidentally killed by you, how can I not hate you?"
After hearing this, Zhang Xiaoruo felt a sense of guilt in his heart.
She lowered her head and looked at her hands, and she could still see the blood of the Fire Chain Snake on them.
But she really didn’t expect things to be like this, so she apologized quietly.
"I'm sorry, I really didn't know this snake was of such importance to you. If possible, I would like to find a way to make up for my mistake."
Chulian snorted coldly.
"To make up for it? How can you make up for it? My blazing chain snake is dead and will never come back."
Zhang Xiaoruo apologized anxiously.
"I can help you find other precious spiritual beasts, or do something for you to compensate you, as long as you give me a chance."
She held her hands tightly, It's like he's trying to atone for his mistakes.
Shen Lian glared at Zhang Xiaoruo and flatly refused.
"I don't accept it! How can other spiritual beasts replace my blazing chain snake? Do you think you can just find anything to make up for it?"
He dismissed Zhang Xiaoruo's proposal. .
After hearing what Shulian said, Zhang Xiaoruo was at a loss.
She bit her lips so tightly that they turned white from the biting, and her eyes were full of panic.
"Then...then what exactly do you want me to do? I really know I was wrong."
She didn't know how to make up for her fault, and was a little helpless.
Chulian was silent for a moment, the anger in her eyes still undiminished.
"How? You can never make up for the mistakes you have committed. My Fire Chain Serpent is dead, and no matter what you do, you can't bring it back to life."
This At that time, Luo Dan recovered his health and slowly walked forward.
He looked at the tense atmosphere between Shen Lian and Zhang Xiaoruo, and knew that this conflict must be resolved as soon as possible.
"Chulian, calm down first." Luo Dan spoke to comfort him.
His voice is calm and gentle, with a soothing power.
Chulian glanced at Luo Dan.
"Calm down? How do you want me to calm down? She killed my flaming chain snake. That is my most precious thought. I will never give up easily."
Luo Dan frowned slightly and continued to persuade.
"I know you are angry, but things have happened. We should find a way to solve it instead of continuing the stalemate."
"Solve it? How to solve it? My Blazing Chain Snake He is dead, this is an unchangeable fact."
Chulian's emotions were still agitated, and he clenched his fists tightly, as if venting his anger.
Lodan thought for a moment and said: "She also knows that she was wrong. She has been trying to find a way to make up for it. We can find a way together that can not only relieve you but also give her a way to make up for it. Opportunity.”
Chu Lian snorted disdainfully.
"I don't believe she can find any good way to make amends. She is just a human woman, selfish and cruel."
Zhang Xiaoruo listened to Shen Lian's accusations against herself, and saw Luo Dan tried hard to mediate but made no progress, and his heart was filled with regret.
She bit her lip and walked to Luo Dan, her eyes full of guilt and self-blame, hoping to get Luo Dan's help.
"I was wrong, I'm sorry." Zhang Xiaoruo lowered his head, with guilt in his voice, "I shouldn't have been so reckless, killing holy beasts indiscriminately without any respect, and I shouldn't have ignored your advice. , I now know how wrong I was.”
Her tears finally couldn't help but flow down and fell to the ground.
Luo Dan looked at Zhang Xiaoruo and sighed slightly.
"It's a good thing that you can realize your mistake, but the key now is to let Chu Lian calm down."
He gently patted Zhang Xiaoruo's shoulder and gave her some comfort.
Zhang Xiaoruo raised his head and looked at Chu Lian, who was still furious.
"I really know that I was wrong. I shouldn't have killed your flaming chain snake. I was too impulsive. I will definitely pay attention to my behavior in the future and maintain respect for all holy beasts."
Luo Dan watched Zhang Xiaoruo sincerely admit his mistake, but Shulian was still furious. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, feeling that his mediation seemed useless.
His eyes unconsciously looked at the corpses of the blazing chain snakes standing aside. The once majestic spirit beast was now in terrible shape, and a feeling of pity surged in his heart.
“Alas, this blazing chain snake is indeed a pity.” Rodan said softly.
He felt regretful and helpless, and was saddened by the death of this snake.
He shook his head slightly, not knowing how to solve this problem.
Zhang Xiaoruo followed Luo Dan's gaze and saw the body of the blazing chain snake that he had chopped into several sections, and the feeling of guilt flooded into his heart again.
"I'm really sorry." She was full of guilt, her eyes showed deep self-blame, and tears blurred her eyes again.
Pei Sheng has been watching the stalemate from the sidelines, and he is also very anxious.
He kept pacing, clenching his hands into fists, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. At this time, he suddenly remembered the legend about the blazing chain snake that he had heard.
"Wait!" Pei Sheng said loudly, with a hint of eagerness and excitement in his voice.
"I once heard that the Blazing Chain Snake has four lives, and it can be extended with ten-thousand-year ice-blood Ganoderma lucidum."
Everyone's eyes instantly focused on Pei Sheng.
Pei Sheng's eyes shone with hope, as if he had found a life-saving straw.
A glimmer of hope ignited in Zhang Xiaoruo's eyes.
"Really? What is the life of this blazing chain snake now?"
Her voice trembled slightly, and her eyes were full of anticipation.
Pei Sheng turned to look at Chu Lian and asked: "Chu Lian, do you know which life of the Blazing Chain Snake is this?"
Chu Lian was slightly startled, his face His anger has subsided a little, but he is still full of doubts.
"I don't know, and I've never heard that it has four lives." Shen Lian frowned, with a trace of thought in her eyes.
After thinking for a moment, Luodan said: "Anyway, this may be a solution to the problem. We can look for ten thousand-year ice-blooded Ganoderma lucidum and try to extend the life of the Blazing Chain Snake."
< br>Zhang Xiaoruo nodded quickly.
"Yes, let's quickly find the ten thousand year ice blood Ganoderma lucidum. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will make up for my mistakes."
Chulian frowned slightly after hearing what everyone said. , the tone was full of doubt and disdain.
"Humph, how can it be so easy to find Ten Thousand Years Ice Blood Ganoderma? It is an extremely precious spiritual object. It is said to grow in extremely cold places with extremely harsh environments and is guarded by powerful guardian beasts. You think you can find it just by looking for it? "
After hearing what Chu Lian said, Zhang Xiaoruo's eyes that were originally full of hope dimmed instantly.
She lowered her head, her heart filled with loss and self-blame.
Chuolian was right, the Ten Thousand Years Ice-Blooded Ganoderma lucidum was indeed not that easy to find, but when she thought of the mistakes she had made and Chulian's anger, her heart was filled with guilt and self-blame.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoruo suddenly felt a stabbing pain in her chest. She couldn't help but cover her chest with a painful expression on her face.
The pain was like a sharp needle, instantly spreading throughout the body.
"What's wrong with you?" Rodan realized his pain and asked immediately.
Pei Sheng also looked at Zhang Xiaoruo nervously: "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Zhang Xiaoruo was sweating in pain, and his face instantly became as pale as paper.
She bit her lips tightly, trying to endure the sudden severe pain. The pain made her almost unable to breathe and her body was shaking slightly.
Chulian sneered from the side.
Everyone didn’t know why and turned to look at him.
Chuolian looked at everyone's doubtful eyes, still with a hint of indifference on her face.
"Hmph, she was poisoned by the Blazing Chain Snake." Shelian said slowly, with a hint of schadenfreude in her voice.
Everyone was shocked, and Luo Dan asked hurriedly.
"What? Poisoned by the Blazing Chain Snake? What should I do?"
The corners of Chuan Lian's mouth raised slightly, with a hint of ridicule.
“This toxin can only be detoxified by using a living flaming chain snake and the secret recipe I know. But now that the flaming chain snake is dead, she will just wait for the poison to spread and die.”
Zhang Xiaoruo's heart sank after hearing what Shelian said, and the pain made her voice tremble.
"You...how could you do this? So after all, you are still going to kill me?"
Shen Lian looked at Zhang Xiaoruo's painful appearance with a cruel smile on her face.
"Hmph, you are reaping the consequences. Who asked you to kill my blazing chain snake? This is your retribution. I have said it a long time ago. Even if I can't do anything to others, you will definitely do it. If you die, be buried with my blazing chain snake!"
Chulian's laughter echoed in the air, making people shudder.
Luo Dan could see that Sheng Lian was definitely not deceiving, but really had a strong murderous intention towards Zhang Xiaoruo.
He frowned slightly and planned to stabilize Sheng Lian first.
"Aren't we trying to make up for your losses now? If you kill him, it will do you absolutely no good. Maybe we can find the medicinal materials you need to resurrect the Blazing Chain Snake."
Pei Sheng also agreed very much with Luo Dan.
Chuang Lian was unmoved, and her voice became colder and colder.
"I said, there is no living flaming chain snake. There is no cure for this poison. She killed my snake first. This is the punishment she deserves. Now I am the only one who can definitely cure it. I can't stand her poison."
Chulian's attitude was firm and she had no intention of compromising.
While everyone was arguing with Shu Lian, strange changes occurred at the wound where Zhang Xiaoruo was attacked.
The wound that had stopped bleeding suddenly began to heal quickly. However, a strange snake venom mark appeared around the wound.
The mark is like a coiled snake, emitting a strange light.
Zhang Xiaoruo felt that the pain intensified instantly, as if there were countless sharp knives stirring in her body. She couldn't help but moan in pain, and sweat beads rolled down her forehead like beans.
The pain made her almost lose consciousness and her body was crumbling.
But Chuan Lian looked at Zhang Xiaoruo's miserable state and burst into laughter.
"Hahahahaha, this is the countdown to the poison attack. She killed my blazing chain snake, and this is her fate."
Everyone is being overwhelmed by Zhang Xiaoruo's pain and suffering. When Lian's coldness made her extremely anxious, Luo Dan suddenly noticed something strange in her eyes, and there seemed to be a hint of cunning in her eyes.
Before Luo Dan could figure out what the meaning of this look was, a thick fog suddenly filled the surrounding forest.
“No!” Rodan shouted, “Everyone, be careful!”
Pei Sheng asked warily: "What's wrong? What's going on with this fog?"
Luo Dan stared at the thick fog and spoke solemnly.
"I feel something is wrong, this fog came too suddenly."
His eyes were full of vigilance, and he kept observing the surrounding situation.
Zhang Xiaoruo was in so much pain that he was about to lose consciousness, but he managed to look around.
The thick fog was like a huge net, shrouding them. The thick fog became thicker and thicker, making it almost impossible to see the surrounding scene clearly.
Everyone was on guard nervously, not knowing what would happen. There seemed to be countless dangers hidden in the thick fog, which made people frightened.
After a while, the thick fog gradually dissipated, and the expected danger did not appear.
When everyone's vision became clear again, they found that Chulian had disappeared.
“Where is that Qilin?” Pei Sheng frowned and began to look around for Sheng Lian.
Rodan frowned and thought.
"It seems that he has premeditated it. He must have created this thick fog in order to take the opportunity to leave. It seems that there is no way to get the so-called secret recipe from him now." ( End of chapter)
