Chapter 6, The Primitive Mountains

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Yu Mu is a medical student, and she knows better than anyone what kind of snake venom it is. She originally thought she was doomed, but unexpectedly, she was saved in such a place, which shows that the person who rescued her possesses remarkable medical skills

He has a map in his bag, but he cannot understand it at all

Di Jiu looked at the girl somewhat speechlessly and said, "I may be a bit tattered in my clothing and my hair a bit messy, but you shouldn't speak like that. Moreover, I think it's time for you to get up and let me see this poisoned girl."

The girl is wearing a loose purple top, and her jeans have several rips. Her complexion is somewhat pale, her lips are dry and purplish, and she is lying on the ground in a complete state of unconsciousness

She witnessed with her own eyes that Di Jiu did not completely eliminate the toxic blood while applying herbal medicine for Yu Mu

There are indeed people in front of him, two girls. One girl, wearing a light red top, has her back to him and is quietly sobbing, while the other girl is lying on the ground and seems to be having some issues

During the three days of walking in this area, aside from eating some wild fruits, Di Jiu could only consume dry rations. If it were not for a pot of water in the aircraft, he would not have had anything to drink at all

His medical theories are unmatched in the entire Ji Kingdom. If he had not been searching for the formula to unlock the root of martial arts and had genuinely practiced medicine, Di Jiu would have long been renowned throughout the Ji Kingdom, becoming the master of medical arts in the country

Nevertheless, Di Jiu could still see that this was a very beautiful girl. He bent down and took a glance at the girl's eyes.

It is easy to enter this canyon but difficult to exit; no, it should be said that it is difficult to enter and equally difficult to exit. Di Jiu was certain that if he were not in the aircraft and had not been brought here by that strange void crack, his fate might not be much better than in his previous life

Now that he has arrived at a lake, Di Jiu naturally needs to replenish his strength, at least by catching a few fish or preparing some game to roast.

I truly do not know how he entered here in his past life, or why he came to this place. Perhaps in his previous life, he came here for that one red maple flower

The girl bitten by the snake has a wound on her left calf, and the hem of her pants has been rolled up, revealing a purple mark where the snake bit her. Judging by the appearance, it seems that the venom has been squeezed out once.

"No, no," said the girl in the light red top, quickly waving her hand. She had regained her composure and confirmed that Di Jiu was neither a savage nor a dangerous person. Then she remembered her companion and hurriedly got up, anxiously and fearfully saying, "Yu Mo has been bitten by a snake, and there is no antivenom here..."

The girl in the red dress stepped aside, allowing Di Jiu to see clearly the girl who had been bitten by the snake

"Yu Mu, you are really okay, this is truly wonderful..." The round-faced girl named Fang Xue was overjoyed, and before she could finish her sentence, she remembered Di Jiu, who had saved Yu Mu, and quickly said, "Yu Mu, it was this big brother who saved you."

He then took out a golden needle and pricked several acupoints on the purple-clad girl.

After consuming two grilled fish, Di Jiu felt a significant replenishment of his physical strength, which was far beyond what could be compared to eating dry rations

Cleaned and roasted, even without salt, it is incredibly delicious. In just over ten minutes, Di Jiu finished both black fish.

Is anyone there? Di Jiu suddenly stood up, a short dagger already in his hand. The place he was in was undoubtedly a desolate mountain wilderness, even a primitive forested mountain range. He had not seen a single person after walking for three days, and logically speaking, it should be a rarely visited area. How could there be sounds of crying? Moreover, it was still evening.

After resting by the lake for nearly an hour, Di Jiu filled both pots with clear water and was preparing to find a place to sleep well for the night. Over the past two days, he had hardly rested properly. At that moment, he unexpectedly heard a faint sound of crying.

After wandering back and forth for a full two days, Di Jiu finally crawled out of the canyon, yet he still could not discern which direction he should take.

Di Jiu's hair was disheveled, and his clothes hung on him like rags. The exposed skin was covered in scabs. To see someone like this in the Wangchuan Mountain Range would be unusual only if one did not assume they were a wild person

The girl's face shape is slightly round, yet it is still quite pleasant to look at

Di Jiu quickly shouldered his bag and walked towards the source of the crying sound. After more than ten minutes, he came to a stop

Di Jiu noticed the lingering concern in the eyes of the two individuals and quickly said, "I am also here for tourism; I got lost in this place, which is why I ended up in this state."

Di Jiu waved his hand and said, "I have only occasionally seen others do it this way, and I have learned a little; I do not dare to speak of medical skills. By the way, do you have a map for going out?"

"It can be saved." Di Jiu nodded. The poisoning of this girl in purple was already very severe. Based on Di Jiu's memories from his previous life, this level of poisoning would lead to certain death unless she was in a hospital right now. However, encountering him was not a problem at all.

Two hours later, Di Jiu caught two wild black fish, each over one foot long

It is alright, I have already found a way to deliver the poisoned blood to the herbs

Because of that golden light, his eyesight had improved several times compared to before. Looking out in all directions from here, it was still a hazy mist.

After casually choosing a direction, Di Jiu walked for nearly a day and finally stopped by a small lake

After a while, the girl finally regained her composure. Perhaps it was due to Di Jiu's words that the fear in her eyes diminished somewhat, and she said uncertainly, "Are you really human?"

Di Jiu merely made two cuts at the wound with a dagger, squeezed out some dark blood with his hand, and then grabbed a few medicinal herbs from his backpack, biting them into fragments and applying them to the wound

Ah... the girl suddenly turned around, then half fell to the ground, her eyes filled with terror as she looked at Di Jiu

Di Jiuyi could tell from the girl's expression that she was frightened, so he quickly said again, "I am also here for tourism, you need not be afraid"

After a few minutes, several sobs were heard again. This time, Di Jiu heard clearly that someone was indeed crying, but the person was relatively far away. His excellent hearing allowed him to catch the sound.

In less than five minutes, Di Jiu put away the dagger and the golden book needle, and simultaneously said, "She is already better; she will wake up in a few minutes."

Hearing that Di Jiu was also a traveler, Yu Mu let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly struggled to sit up. "Thank you for saving my life, big brother. I was bitten by a venomous snake, and if it weren't for your timely assistance, I would surely have lost my life. Your medical skills are truly remarkable"

Cautiously weaving through various thickets of thorns, he was injured countless times along the way. Even though he had a stone that could staunch the bleeding, after half a day, he remained covered in wounds.

Ah... the round-faced girl looked at Di Jiu with some disbelief, hesitating for a moment before saying, "But, big brother, I see that the poisonous blood at the wound has not been completely drawn out yet"

Fang Xue..." Before Di Jiu could finish his words, the girl in the purple dress woke up. After calling out Fang Xue's name, she saw Di Jiu standing beside her, looking like a wild man, and her words were suddenly caught in her throat. If she had seen Di Jiu before Fang Xue, she might have called out just like Fang Xue did.

"Do you need my help?" The words spoken by Di Jiu were no longer the language of Ji Guo; although his statement was somewhat awkward, it did not falter.

"Big brother, is there still hope for Xiao Mu?" The girl in the red dress asked anxiously as Di Jiu bent down, her eyes filled with a sense of fear and unease
