Free Web NovelChapter 1871: Chapter 1870: Cause
Lan briefly explained the situation to Li Feng.
"Hmm, the situation is not optimistic. If we can’t treat her, even if she manages to survive, she’s likely to be crippled."
Ouyang Qiuhai spoke with a somber and serious expression.
The family behind Ouyang Qiuhai is the Sikong family, a renowned family for generations.
Except for her father, everyone in the family has either entered Ru Mountain or Xinglin.
Ouyang Qiuhai’s father established his own path and was expelled, but her aunt often visits, and this aunt is an Elder in the Xinglin sect.
Ouyang Qiuhai has a close relationship with her aunt and has learned some medical skills, often carrying many medicinal herbs.
However, those herbs are sufficient for ordinary situations, but for injuries like Shadow’s, she is powerless because she is not a disciple of Xinglin, and her aunt could only teach her some basics, not the secrets of Xinglin.
With her limited skills, Ouyang Qiuhai naturally couldn’t handle Shadow’s injuries.
"These wounds can only be treated at the Xinglin in Ancestor Dragon City, but we’re now in the Molten Lava Cave. Even if we head back now, we can’t reach First Line Pass in three or five days, let alone Ancestor Dragon City."
Ouyang Qiuhai’s words were like a death sentence for Shadow.
Li Feng ignored Ouyang Qiuhai’s words, examining Shadow’s wounds. At this moment, Shadow raised a hand to grasp Li Feng’s wrist.
"Camp Master."
Li Feng looked at the weakened Shadow.
"Don’t waste time on me. Since I was young, I’ve known this day would come, but I am glad I’m not in that dark place."
"Though I haven’t been following the Camp Master for long, I’ve truly been happy during this time. I’ve felt alive."
"I just regret not being able to continue following the Camp Master."
"I won’t let you die."
Li Feng said, looking at Shadow.
Shadow shook her head weakly: "Miss Ouyang is right, my body can’t go on. Even if I barely survive, living like that isn’t what I want, I don’t want to be a burden."
"Camp Master, promise me, don’t let me live without dignity."
"Perhaps death is more of a release for me."
"Promise me."
Shadow firmly grasped Li Feng.
"I said, no dying."
"Without my permission, you cannot die, understand!"
"It’s just some minor injuries, nothing serious." Li Feng said and directly retrieved an Ice Lotus Seed from his storage ring.
As soon as the Ice Lotus Seed was taken out, it emitted a refreshing scent, accompanied by a cooling sensation, lowering the surrounding temperature by several degrees.
"Hey, hey, hey...!"
From Li Feng’s embrace, a little white snake poked its head, looking at Li Feng’s wasteful behavior with concern, it immediately shouted.
But it was too late to stop Li Feng from placing the lotus seed into Shadow’s mouth.
The white-scaled little snake widened its eyes and looked at Li Feng: "Do you even know what you’ve done? That was a top-grade Ice Lotus Seed, only seven in total, and you’ve just given it to her like this. You’re squandering precious resources, do you understand?"
"For such injuries, using just an Ice Lotus Petal would be more than enough, you’re going to make the snake angry."
If the little white snake had hands, it would have covered its chest in frustration.
Sikong Yu and others were dumbfounded seeing the three-inch white-scaled snake from Li Feng’s embrace: "Li Feng, where did you get this Snake Demon?"
"Pah, you’re the demon, your whole family is demons! I, Snake Lord, am of Innate noble lineage, not someone common folk can address."
"Shut up."
Li Feng looked at the noisy white-scaled little snake: "My things, I’ll use them how I want. If you’re not happy, bear it, lest I stew you."
"You...!"
The white-scaled little snake was speechless with rage, thinking it would have its revenge in ten years, angrily plotting against the humans.
And during these exchanges, after swallowing the Ice Lotus Seed, Shadow’s body began to emit a greenish gleam, not dazzling, rather serene.
But the effect of the lotus seed was palpable, Shadow’s mangled flesh visibly started to heal. The parts corroded by ant acid began to regrow, with damaged areas shedding.
In front of the crowd, Shadow’s exposed skin showed an icy and jade-like appearance, smooth as silk, fine as jade.
This change was visible, and internally, Shadow was further rejuvenated by the Ice Lotus, her severely injured organs rapidly recovered and strengthened.
But the greatest change was from the Dantian Qi Sea; the lotus seed wasn’t simply absorbed but rooted in the Dantian Qi Sea, wrapping around Shadow’s Golden Core, absorbing its powers and sprouting.
The color of the lotus seed changed, stained with ink.
Formerly frail, Shadow felt an overwhelming energy surge from her Dantian, raising her once mangled hand that hurt tremendously.
Is this her arm?
Shadow paused, feeling the meridians of her limbs and bones seemed entwined with the roots of the lotus seed from the Dantian, bringing forth an unprecedented sense of power.
With a thought, Shadow’s figure transformed into a dark shadow, merging with the shadow on the ground.
"Shadow Binding."
Shadow directly activated the secret skill, instantly, the shadow beneath Li Feng surged with several vine-like shadows, entangling him.
Seeing this, Li Feng smirked, instantly unleashing Thunder Flame Power, swallowing the shadow vines.
But for a time, the vines weren’t incinerated by the flames, enduring two to three seconds before burning to ash.
"Shadow, pay respects to Camp Master."
One Shadow stepped out, clasping fists towards Li Feng, as others focused on her, a second Shadow turned and paid respects to Li Feng.
Before everyone’s gaze, a third, fourth, fifth, over ten Shadows appeared, all paying respects to Li Feng.
"Shadow, what is this?"
Lei Ba and others stared, stunned at so many Shadows, wondering if this was a clone, reaching to grab a Shadow beside.
The Shadow deftly sidestepped.
"Shadow Clone Technique, each shadow is me, possessing my abilities, like Shadow Binding."
With that, the shadow beneath Lei Ba’s feet transformed into a serpent, swiftly entangling him, wrapping him up.
Lei Ba tried to struggle free, only to find the Shadow Binding incredibly intricate, unable to break free.
"This?"
