Chapter 93: Running away from the killers

“Medicine, medicine, life-saving medicine!”

In the heavy rain, Ji Hao carried Man Man, whose body was boiling hot, and carefully climbed into a tree, searching for medicine in the dense branches and leaves.

One ‘Life-Connecting Grass’, one ‘Hundred-Knot Golden Vine’, three ‘Tiger Tusk Swirling Blue Bloom’...The rainy season was a huge problem, not only to animals, but also to the herbal medicines, which could be easily found in other seasons but had now strangely disappeared.

Only under the trees, where there were extremely dense branches and leaves piled up, and wasn’t soaked in the rainwater, could some useful and sufficient powerful herbal medicine be found.

After a quarter of an hour, Ji Hao put the few herbs he had found into his palm, crushed them into liquid, and slowly dripped it into Man Man’s mouth. Man Man subconsciously swallowed the herbal liquid. Her scorching hot body cooled down a little bit, and the wounds on her back stopped bleeding. A very fast, transparent, thin film appeared, barely sealing the wound.

“Man Man, from now on, you have to learn some life-saving abilities,” said Ji Hao in a low voice, while he carried her on his back and tied her and himself together tightly with a long vine, “This is the Southern Wasteland, no matter how powerful your Amma and Abba are, how many brothers and sisters you have, and how many people are following your orders and working for you, in the Southern Wasteland, you can only survive if you are strong enough!”

Carefully climbing along a branch, Ji Hao surprisingly found a ‘Star Mushroom’, which was shining with a faint, silvery light, located beside a large bird nest. This kind of mushroom had absorbed the power of the stars for years, and contained an incomparably vast energy, which could be used as an effective medicine.

This was the best quality material for making advanced magical medicines, of course, it could also be directly eaten, after which its power would be released inside the human body.

Inside the large bird nest, two gigantic ‘Golden Head Turtledoves’ had been huddled up together, occasionally, raindrops splashed on their bodies, causing the two huge birds to quiver slightly, but their closed eyes had never opened.

Ji Hao slowly put his hands towards the mushroom, while whispering to Man Man, “Like those life-saving treasures, given by your Abba and Amma, no matter if they’re magic treasures or medicines, you should always carry them with you. You have already seen, even uncle Ying Yan couldn’t always protect you.”

Man Man nodded while tightly grabbing Ji Hao’s shoulder with both of her hands, looking at Ji Hao’s movements nervously.

She didn’t know what a ‘Star Mushroom’ was, with her family background, she didn’t need to learn this kind of stuff at all. Ever since she was a little girl, all kinds of magical medicines that she needed, even those legendary, secretively inherited medicines, would be eagerly offered to her by lots of Maguspriests.

She only knew that what Ji Hao was now trying to pick would be good to her body; at least, the herbal liquid that Ji Hao had fed her during the journey, had made her wounds start healing, and her body felt a lot better now.

Man Man had already made up her mind that she would keep Ji Hao’s words in her mind, and would never throw away those magical medicines and treasures, which were given by Abba, randomly.

This time, she got injured, but she couldn’t even find a single life-saving pill on her; among those magical medicine that were given by Abba, there were countless kinds of medicines that could easily bring the dead back to life. As for magical treasures, if she didn’t feel inconvenient and brought a couple of those powerful magical treasures with her, she could have easily broken even the horrible Blood Moon formation launched by Di Luo, with those magical treasures.

“Man Man was wrong, Man Man is useless!” murmured Man Man in a very low voice, while gnashing her teeth.

“You’re not wrong, your Abba was wrong.” Ji Hao gently patted Man Man’s head and said, in the meanwhile, the other hand of his had grabbed the ‘Star Mushroom’.
