Chapter 287 Can't Wait Any Longer
Shen Li's eyes stayed on Jin Zhao's body all the time, watching his black hair and clothes getting wet with sweat, and he was enduring boundless pain, but he was... helpless, he could only watch.
After an unknown amount of time, Shen Li felt that his legs were a little numb, and beads of sweat dripped down Jin Zhao's face.
Suddenly, Jin Zhao covered his chest with one hand and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Shen Li quickly supported him, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and turned his gaze to Minzhen: "What's going on? Why didn't it work?"
Minzhen's condition was not much better, his face was full of exhaustion, and his body was almost collapsed.
She slowly opened her eyes: "The Gu worm has stayed in his body for too long, almost ingrained, so how could it come out in a short while?"
Shen Li's expression couldn't hide his irritability: "I don't want to listen to what you said now, I just want to hear the solution."
Minzhen thought for a moment and said: "I have limited internal strength, so I can only activate the mother Gu as much as possible. If I want to call out the child Gu, the strength is far from enough."
Shen Li: "What should I do?"
Minzhen said: "Someone needs to use force to activate the mother Gu, otherwise it will be difficult for the child Gu to come out."
"I...I can help!" Wu Erdan, who was watching from the side, said hastily.
Shen Li turned a deaf ear to it, but leaned Jin Zhao's body against the wall, then walked behind Minzhen, and said in a flat tone, "I'll come."
Minzhen didn't say much, and continued to mobilize his internal energy to activate the mother Gu. Shen Li walked behind her, sat down cross-legged, activated his internal energy, and put his palm on Minzhen's back.
After a few more hours, the outside light could no longer be seen through the narrow window, and dim candlelight was lit in the cell.
Finally, following Jin Zhao's muffled hum, a blood-colored worm slowly squirmed out along Jin Zhao's pulse, and reached Minzhen's palm, and the two Gu worms joined together without any hindrance.
Jin Zhao's body also collapsed and collapsed.
Shen Li resisted the discomfort in his body, hurriedly got up and walked to Jin Zhao's side, and hugged him.
Minzhen also slowly opened his eyes, and his gaze swept to the Gu worm in his hand who was smelling the opponent's scent.
Shen Li also glanced at it, and almost without thinking, he drew out his long sword and swung it towards her palm.
Minzhen didn't even have time to dodge, only to see two Gu worms, one large and one small in the palm of her hand cut in half by the sharp sword edge, twitching and struggling in her palm, her palm was scratched by the force of the sword edge.There was a hole.
"You! Li Wang doesn't have to kill them all!" It means that he shouldn't have killed those two Gu worms.
Shen Li withdrew his long sword, his voice was cold and disgusted, "This kind of harmful thing should not be left in the world."
"But I have drawn it out, and you have gone too far."
Shen Li looked at her coldly and said, "You should be glad that I didn't kill you just now."
"you……"
Jin Zhao leaned his head weakly on his shoulder, as if he had lost consciousness, Shen Li glanced at him, and then said: "Now his condition is unknown, after he gets better, I can consider whether to let you go.”
After speaking, he helped Jin Zhao's body out of the cell.
Minzhen looked at their disappearing backs, unable to hide his hatred.
Not long after, he spit out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing this, Wu Erdan hurriedly asked, "Princess, how are you doing?"
Minzhen put the motionless Gu in his hand on the ground, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wrapped it around his palm indiscriminately.
"I'm fine."
"Could it be that the poison Shen Li planted for you before took effect?"
Minzhen shook his head and said: "No, this mother Gu has already matched my body, and now it is forced to come out and is killed by Shen Li. My body can't bear the impact for a moment."
Wu Erdan worried: "Then what should we do? How will it affect your body?"
Minzhen: "It doesn't have a big impact, but... I may not be able to practice martial arts frequently in the future. I have learned this body of martial arts, and the effect of mother Gu is not small. Now... I am afraid it will never be as good as before."
"You mean... that Gu worm will affect your martial arts?"
Minzhen nodded.
Wu Erdan suddenly thought of Jin Zhao who had a sad face just now, "Then... what about Cui Jinzhao? His condition...wouldn't be so smooth?"
Minzhen didn't answer, but a deep meaning flashed across his face.
"If Cui Jinzhao wakes up, will Shen Li let us go?" Wu Erdan asked after a while, changing the subject.
Minzhen smiled almost coldly: "Wu Erdan, you are so naive, with his cruelty, do you think so?"
"We... can't wait any longer." Minzhen said after a long time.
Jin Zhao felt his body go cold for a while, and the people beside him kept holding him, not letting go for a moment.
Shen Li carried him back to his room, wrapped him tightly with a quilt, then ordered someone to prepare a bucket of hot water, closed the door tightly, stripped off his clothes, and helped him into the room himself.took the tub.
Jin Zhao's body was too weak to support him, so Shen Li moved behind him, holding his shoulders with a pair of arms to stabilize his body.
His thoughts suddenly drifted to the past, he was seriously injured, how did this person take care of him when he was in the hot spring cave, and a touch of red quickly rose from the base of his ears.
Shaking his head, he tried to erase the thoughts that should not have been in his mind.
After soaking for a while, Shen Li patted his shoulder lightly, and softly called his name with his lips against his ear, trying to wake him up.
He had just detoxified the Gu poison, and Shen Li was a little worried. He needed to see him wake up normally with his eyes open before he could feel relieved.
After putting him into the bathtub just now, Jin Zhao's thoughts slowly turned, he clearly felt that this person was by his side, taking care of him in every possible way.
The originally cold body also gradually felt the temperature.
Finally, in the middle of the night, he slowly opened his eyes.
He turned his eyes to look behind him, only to see Shen Li gently wrapping his arms around his shoulders, squatting slightly, his head was buried down weakly, and his face was already exhausted.
Jin Zhao tried to take his hand away and was about to stand up, but as soon as his palm touched his wrist, the man immediately opened his eyes, and said almost subconsciously: "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?"
Just as he was about to stand up, his legs went limp for an instant, and his body almost fell. Jin Zhao stretched out his arms in a timely manner, hooked Shen Li's waist, and pulled him over.
Due to the sudden movement, Shen Li's body fell into the bathtub uncontrollably. He was still in a daze, but now he woke up instantly.
Jin Zhao's arm was still around his waist.
Shen Li was absent-minded for a moment, then quickly reached out to wipe the splashed water on his cheeks, and said angrily, "What are you doing? Why are you dragging people into the water?"
