Chapter 1259 – The Nobility of Bullshit
It was the first time Chen Shaobai felt so helpless. Even when he was surrounded and attacked by dozens of people by himself, he would not feel such despair. Yes, despair … It was only then that Chen Shaobai suddenly realized one thing. In a place where he was inferior to An Zheng, he had easily lost his cool when faced with such a situation.
An Zheng was someone who had relied on himself from the very beginning, so he was able to maintain his calm in the face of all kinds of situations. But relatively speaking, Chen Shaobai was a child who was being cared for and grew up. His father was the Demon Elder, and his former position was in no way inferior to Chen Wunuo’s.
He had grown up in this sort of environment, and he had never lacked the protection of experts. Therefore, the weakness that Chen Shaobai never dared to admit nor was willing to admit was … He didn’t actually have much confidence. No matter how careless he acted, his heart was not strong enough.
Just as the white-bearded old man had said, Chen Shaobai’s state of mind was unstable.
He hugged Du Shoushou and suddenly felt the urge to cry.
“You idiot!”
Chen Shaobai suddenly cursed himself.
He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He stopped yelling and started searching around. He asked himself, if this was the case, what kind of judgement should An Zheng make?
“The first person must have come in. It’s not an illusion.”
Chen Shaobai put Du Shoushou down, found all the antidotes he had on him, and fed them to Du Shoushou. He opened the bandage on Du Shoushou’s hand, and after taking a look at it, his face changed. The surrounding light was very dim, but one could still see that a large part of Du Shoushou’s palm had already rotted.
Chen Shaobai took out a illumination bead from his spatial artifact and floated beside him as he carefully examined his palm. He no longer had the mood to care about the floating black aura. He had to think of a way to cure Du Shoushou, as soon as possible. The one who could stop the death aura was not him, but Du Shoushou.
Du Shoushou’s palm, which was as big as an egg, had completely rotted, and light black pus continued to seep out from within. There seemed to be something moving on the skin line. Even the skin was arched.
Chen Shaobai took out a jug of strong alcohol, poured the wine into the palm of Du Shoushou’s hand, and then wiped the fire piston and lit it. The flames suddenly rose up, and the unconscious Du Shoushou trembled violently.
Chen Shaobai took a deep breath and told himself not to panic.
He sprinkled some white disinfectant powder on it, and then used his dagger to gouge out the piece of the meat in Du Shoushou’s hand. A black worm that looked like an earthworm wanted to hide deeper into the cave, but was blocked by the bones. It tried to dig its way through the worm’s wrist, but was picked up by Chen Shaobai and thrown to the ground.
Chen Shaobai picked uock and pressed it down on the insect, then used all his strength to stomp on it.
He continuously used his hand to push at Du Shoushou’s arm until the blood that had flowed out from his hand no longer blackened but recovered its scarlet color. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief. After bandaging Du Shoushou once again, he fell onto the ground and panted heavily. He saw that the death aura around him was dissipating bit by bit.
“Something’s not right.”
Chen Shaobai suddenly realised.
Although Du Shoushou’s injuries were strange, they weren’t too difficult to treat. Why did the female disciple from the East China Sea Yaochi called Huan Wan say that Du Shoushou was hopeless? Was she doing it on purpose? Seeing her proficient in dispersing the aura of death, it was clear that she knew more about Fengcheng than An Zheng and herself. Since that was the case, she should be able to see that Du Shoushou was definitely not unable to save … Unless she deliberately made the party abandon Du Shoushou.
Chen Shaobai kept taking deep breaths and told himself to calm down again.
“If …”
He muttered to himself: “What if these people from the East China Sea Yaochi are purposely trying to reduce the number of people on our side? Could it be that their target isn’t some treasure that they lost in hell, and their target is us? ”
He stood up and paced back and forth, speaking as he walked: “If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be even more dangerous for An Zheng to be with them? We havotal of four people here, Monkey, me, An Zheng, Fatty … If the other party separates and Monkey again, Fatty will be together with me. ”
Chen Shaobai suddenly raised his head. “But, there’s no need for that old fellow to harm me.”
He squatted down to look at Du Shoushou, causing Du Shoushou’s expression to ease up a little. Chen Shaobai was worried, so he opened the wound that he had just rebandaged and checked it. After confirming that it had not rotted again, he wrapped it up.
“What would An Zheng do?”
Chen Shaobai squatted there, feeling that all the strength in his body was almost used up, he was very, very tired. He clearly didn’t go through any battles, he only cleaned up Du Shoushou’s wounds and gouged out the worms, but he was completely exhausted as if he was in a fierce battle. He knew that this was not true fatigue, but a change brought about by deep fear.
He laughed at himself. So it turned out that he was such a coward.
He suddenly wanted to thank Du Shoushou. Even though Du Shoushou had fainted, he did not go crazy because there was someone beside him. If he was trapped in suclace, Chen Shaobai suspected that he would have already charged into the darkness and gone crazy. If it was An Zheng, he definitely would not walk around carelessly. He had to make sure that Du Shoushou was alright first, and that in a situation where there was no danger, waiting in a spot was more important than anything else.
After thinking to this point, Chen Shaobai quieted down, drank a mouthful of water, and then ate some food.
In the darkness, a few people stood there looking at Chen Shaobai.
“His reaction seems to be not bad. After the initial panic, he quickly regained his composure, and from the looks of it, his physique is indeed extraordinary. However … I always felt that his physique was a little strange. That fatty can basically rule it out now, he’s not the person we need. ”
Another person said: “Now we just need to see how that person called An Zheng is doing.”
Separated by a layer of pitch black fog, these people were actually standing tens of meters away from Chen Shaobai. But their voices were completely cut off... In fact, it was Chen Shaobai and Du Shoushou who were sealed inside a very small space, and were only around the size of two rooms.
The girl called Huan Wan harrumphed, “Although it is not as terrible as I imagined, it is still not considered outstanding. At the beginning, she had looked very scared, but she didn’t seem likesponsible person at all. If it wasn’t for the fact that he had an injured friend by his side, he might have already been bumping into her. ”
A young man standing beside Huan Wan looked even more feminine than a woman. Her face was covered withick layer of powder, and she pinched her throat as she said, “You’re right, she doesn’t seem to be calm at all. “Anyway, I really don’t like this kind of person. Just look at how he yelled, she’s so ugly.”
“You shut up.”
The Goddess coldly replied, “The situation just now. If it was you, you would have already gone mad.”
The man opened his mouth, but didn’t dare to retort.
Huan Wan tugged on his sleeve. “Qilan, stop talking.”
“Where’s that An Zheng?”
The Goddess asked.
Another young man called Qigong said scornfully, “Just now, when we opened the barrier to separate them, that guy disappeared in the blink of an eye. He escaped even faster than a rabbit. A man like this, hehe … I wonder what his friends would think if they knew he was such a coward. ”
“It disappeared when the barrier was activated?”
“Yeah, I never would have thought that he wouldn’t be trapped.”
Qimu harrumphed, “What kind of people must have the guts to be as vigilant as a mouse when stealing food. If anything happens, they will immediately run away.” If I’m not wrong, he may have escaped the city. When it comes to being unable to take responsibility, this Chen Shaobai has calculated it well. ”
“Are they out of Fengcheng?”
Huan Wan laughed coldly: “So we can now confirm that An Zheng is not the person the Goddess is looking for.”
“Who is the Goddess looking for?”
At this moment, An Zheng’s voice appeared from behind him. Huan Wan was so scared that his face changed. When he turned around, he found that An Zheng was about 10 metres behind them. He was sitting there with a bottle gourd of wine in his hand as he looked at them. No one knew when he had arrived, and not even the Goddess had noticed in the slightest.
“How did you get in!”
Qi Bai looked at An Zheng. Fortunately, the powder on his face was thick enough to cover his frightened face.
“You came in when you did.”
An Zheng waved the wine gourd in his hand: “I’ve drank half a pot of wine and heard all of you speak. I feel that there’s nothing special about it.”
An Zheng hung up the wine gourd and left the short wall he was leaning on and walked towards the Goddess. Qi Lan did not think much of An Zheng and the others, so he quickly grabbed onto’s waist and placed him in front of his, “You do not have the qualifications to get close to Her Highness, the Goddess.”
Before he could finish his words, An Zheng suddenly came over … The sound of shoes scraping against the ground was like a cannonball being fired. His right arm was bent, and his forearm was raised. It was as if a mountain had heavily smashed into Qian Lan’s body. With this, Qilan was sent flying. The moment they came into contact with each other, most of the ribs on Qilan’s chest were broken.
With a “peng” sound, Kai Lan’s back hit the barrier and bounced back. When she landed on the ground, she immediately fainted. An Zheng stood still and looked at Chen Shaobai who was at the side of the barrier, then shifted his gaze back to the Goddess.
“I don’t care what you want to do, and I don’t care if you have any so-called evil intentions. “I can already feel that you’ve hurt my friends. If anything happens to them, none of you will survive.”
“How dare you!”
Qi Bai reprimanded angrily, “You actually dare to speak to Her Highness the Goddess in such a manner!”
An Zheng laughed out loud, and pointed his middle finger at QI Bai: “Do you believe that the next one will cripple you?”
Qi Bai opened his mouth and took a step back subconsciously. “Brutal, barbaric...”
An Zheng looked at the Goddess, “You don’t come to the Infernal Realm to get your things, but to test us? We don’t need your test. Don’t even talk about gains after passing, we don’t even need those. Don’t provoke my friends and me, even if you are some East China Sea Yaochi’s god race. “Don’t show your nobility in front of me, it’s so childish and ridiculous in my eyes.”
Qimu was about to say something, but he suddenly felt his back heating up. When he turned around, he saw that the monkey’s terrifying face had fangs just outside its lips.
Monkey grabbed Que Lan and threw her onto the ground. “Noble my ass. Back then, Saint Lord didn’t put her in his eyes, but now, she’s still not in his eyes.”
He kicked Kai Bai away. “My brother said that he doesn’t welcome you. Scram right now.”
He pointed outside and said, “I don’t need you guys to go to the Infernal Realm this time.”
He turned around and tore the enchantment apart, then walked towards Chen Shaobai and Du Shoushou. An Zheng looked at the Goddess and followed with big steps.
The Goddess stood there, not saying a word.
