Chapter 437: Chapter 270: Deep into the Desert, Evil Spirits and Guanyin (Please Subscribe)_2
"Our mission was originally to find the entrance, and now that we have found it, naturally we dare not linger any longer, so we headed back the same way. However, on the way back, Bi Suo was clearly walking behind me, but then suddenly he was gone.
I went back to look for Bi Suo, but only found a pool of blood. I knew something had happened to him, and I always felt there was something around me, but I couldn’t see it. The only thing I could think of at that time was probably the evil spirits raised by Jade Guanyin, so I was extremely terrified and could only run for my life.
By the time I escaped back here, I discovered there were quite a few holes on my body, and I had been poisoned."
Saying this, Fan Gao’s pale face was covered in fear, as if he had returned to that terrifying situation.
At this point, he tremblingly rolled up his thick sleeves.
Duan Yun and the other two frowned slightly.
On Fan Gao’s arm, there was a patch of holes that looked like a honeycomb, which was hair-raising to behold.
At this time, Fan Gao’s story was almost finished, and Duan Yun and his companions had also obtained crucial information.
Looking at Duan Yun, Fan Gao said, "Duan Juxia, this information is from seven years ago, and I can’t be sure what the situation is now. If you must go, you have to be very careful."
Duan Yun nodded and said, "You’ve told me the information, so let me try and treat your poison first."
As he spoke, his fingertips sparked with Fingertip Thunder, while a vortex-like suction appeared in the palm of his hand.
"This..."
Fan Gao’s initial reaction was Demon Technique, but then he saw Duan Yun’s handsome face, and his tense nerves gradually relaxed.
This Mr. Duan, although his Cultivation Technique looks rather strange, his entire demeanor gives off a gentle and trustworthy doctor-like feeling.
Moreover, he had no choice.
So, he closed his eyes and let Duan Juxia stroke his head.
The buzzing of Spring Thunder, like needles, penetrated into Fan Gao’s body, accompanied by the Beiming Divine Skill, Duan Yun soon empathized with Fan Gao’s suffering.
He could feel the pain of being tortured by the poison, and gradually detected where the toxins were concentrated.
In the eyes of Feng Ling’er and Shen Ying, Duan Yun stroked the head to heal, the suction force in his palm grew stronger, and the lightning at his fingertips became more intense.
The next instant, the vortex of suction turned into a turquoise color.
Fan Gao suddenly opened his eyes and exclaimed, "I want to be a hero!"
Duan Yun ceased his skill and said, "This is all I can do for now, the deeper poison is too troublesome, we’ll have to continue next time."
As he said this, he flicked his hand, and a green handprint fell onto the ground, with the poison deeply embedded.
Fan Gao’s pale complexion regained some color, and his trembling lessened considerably.
In fact, Duan Yun had felt a cold shiver on his body just now, but Fan Gao was shivering so severely that it was not apparent.
And now, Fan Gao only felt a warm sensation throughout his body, even a sense of exhilaration, which was obviously a sign that the symptoms of poisoning had lessened.
"Thank you, hero!"
"The hero is truly a divine being."
Fan Gao couldn’t help saying.
This was not flattery, but a genuine expression of admiration.
He had never seen such a method of treatment, nor had he ever thought it could be so effective.
"I want to be a hero!"
Suddenly, he spoke out.
This time, he startled himself.
Previously when he shouted, he was undergoing treatment and did not realize, but now that he did, he found it frightening.
"This, this is..." Fan Gao said with a look of panic.
"When I removed the poison, I used the Supreme Heroic Spirit to suppress your energy channels to prevent the poison from spreading. This is normal, and it’ll be better after one night. If you can’t help but want to shout, you may do so discreetly." Duan Yun explained.
He did not actually want Fan Gao to shout too loudly, to avoid disturbing the outside and affecting the harmony of the neighborhood.
Moreover, the words "I want to be a hero!" had become his trademark, and if more people knew about it, it could be noticed by Jade Guanyin’s people.
According to Fan Gao, Wuye City might seem to be under the control of the City Lord, but in reality, Jade Guanyin had already made many arrangements here, and the City Lord still had to follow Jade Guanyin’s orders.
Hence, one could see the originally sickly Fan Gao pacing around the room, repeating in a lowered voice, "I want to be a hero."
"I want to be a hero!"
...
The information came quite smoothly, and Duan Yun and his companions rested well in Wuye Town for a night, procured some items, and then set off according to the map given by Fan Gao.
At such times, carriages were no longer convenient.
Because Yellow Jade Island is deep in the Desert, carriages are not good for traveling.
Duan Yun bought three camels, and rode out of the city with Feng Ling’er and Shen Ying.
They were originally supposed to head north, but they took a detour to visit Crescent Bay just outside Wuye City.
Crescent Bay is an oasis in the desert, famous for its spring water shaped like a crescent moon.
The most famous thing here is the grape wine.
The rich merchant Guan Qi loved wine and beautiful women, so it was quite normal for him to visit Crescent Bay.
Crescent Bay was busier than imagined, with not a few camel caravans coming and going, most of which were in the wine trade.
After buying wine in Crescent Bay and having fun for a while, Duan Yun and his two companions found a time to leave discreetly towards the west.
They were almost certain that no one was following them.
The farther west they went, the more distinct the scenery of the Gobi Desert became.
Even in the afternoon, the fierce sun blazed, and the wind that blew was scorching hot.
Here, there was no sign of spring at all.
Or rather, such a place never had a spring to begin with.
Duan Yun stripped down to just a pair of shorts, while Feng Ling’er and Shen Ying also changed into light clothing.
However, the grape wine they had just bought was indeed sweet and refreshing, providing some relief from thirst.
Initially, on the road, they could still see some half-yellow, half-black mud grounds, with grape trellises above them.
