Chapter 60 Deadly Poisonous Ice Mystic Grass
Although it's called a grove of trees, it's much larger than the orchard in the backyard of the general's mansion.
Beyond the woods, there is a low hill that winds its way up, covered with lush fruit trees, and shrouded in mist at its summit.
Uncommon plants often sprout in the woods, and rare small animals occasionally roam about.
This vibrant and enchanting natural environment made Zhou Ruo feel as if she had returned to the celestial mountains she often roamed in her previous life.
"Brother, I love it here!" Zhou Ruo ran happily into the woods, with Zhao Jinzhong following behind her.
Zhou Ruo displayed her skills, darting among the fruit trees like a little monkey. Her agile tree-climbing movements amazed Zhao Jinzhong.
She stood on a tree branch and looked down. Under a few trees not far away, there were small piles of fruit.
"Huh? Brother, there are so many people in the woods!" Zhou Ruo said to Zhao Jinzhong, who was standing under a tree.
"Many people? Where?" Zhao Jinzhong was also very vigilant, but he was far less perceptive than Zhou Ruo.
"There, there, and there again, hiding in the trees!"
Zhao Jinzhong followed the direction Zhou Ruo pointed and walked over quietly.
When I arrived at the tree piled with fruit and looked up, I saw two people standing in the tree.
"Young...Young General..." The person in the tree breathed a sigh of relief after recognizing the person.
"Brothers, come out! It's the young general!"
More than a dozen soldiers jumped down from five or six trees in an instant.
"Hey! I thought it was Zhang Yu and his guys from the next camp!"
The soldiers' tense expressions quickly turned into relaxed smiles.
Zhao Jinzhong knew that it was time for the soldiers to rest, so it was understandable that they came to the woods to replenish their food supplies.
"It's normal to come into the woods to forage during rest periods, why are you all so afraid?"
Zhao Jinzhong laughed, puzzled, finding the soldiers' reactions both strange and amusing.
When Zhou Ruo saw so many soldiers in the woods, she scurried down from the tree and ran to Zhao Jinzhong's side.
"Uncle Ice Toad, what are you doing?"
Zhou Ruo saw that the leading soldier was Wu Lian, the one who had eaten the ice toad; that was the only person she remembered.
"Miss? What brings you here?!" Wu Lian was quite surprised to see Zhou Ruo appear in the woods.
The other soldiers were also very happy to see Zhou Ruo. They picked up the fruit piled on the ground and handed it to Zhou Ruo.
"Hey, hey, hey—" Zhou Ruo's arms were filled with fruit handed to him by the soldiers.
It was so heavy that its small body couldn't support it at all.
Zhou Ruo fell to the ground along with the fruit, the fruit almost covering half of her body.
"Miss, you don't need to climb the tree to pick the fruit yourself. Just tell us which kind you'd like to eat, and you can sit down and eat!"
As they spoke, the soldiers turned around and moved all the fruit they had picked to Zhou Ruo's front.
Zhou Ruo felt as if she were sitting in a small mountain of fruit, with fruit within easy reach.
Seeing Zhou Ruo sitting comfortably eating fruit, Wu Lian and the others finally had time to answer Zhao Jinzhong's question.
"Young General, you may not know this, but apart from our camp, everyone is now scrambling to pick fruit from the trees."
Zhao Jinzhong glanced around at the fruit trees in the woods, even more puzzled: "There are so many fruits, we can't even eat them all, why would we fight over them?"
The soldiers seemed too embarrassed to speak, looking down at each other, then glancing at Zhou Ruo with some embarrassment.
Zhao Jinzhong had a partial guess, but asked with some disbelief, "You're all rushing to pick the fruit, surely to give to Ruoruo?"
Next, the soldiers' awkward smiles gave Zhao Jinzhong the answer.
"You don't need to pick so many fruits for me," Zhou Ruo said, sitting on the ground, eating fruit while listening to the soldiers talk.
Since she learned to read and read several mortal scriptures, she has been able to understand much of what adults say.
"I don't eat much, you can pick them yourself."
As Zhou Ruo picked through the fruit in the pile, she said, "If you pick too much, I won't get to eat any fresh fruit."
The soldiers looked at each other, "That's right, we were so focused on expressing our loyalty that we overlooked this point."
Just as the soldiers were chatting happily with Zhou Ruo, shouts suddenly came from behind the crowd:
"Wu Lian! Come quick, come see Wu Sheng! He seems... to be dead!"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned around and ran over.
When Zhou Ruo heard that someone had died, she instinctively wanted to rush over to see.
Unfortunately, she was weighed down by the pile of fruit and couldn't stand up at all.
"Brother, save me..." Zhou Ruo cried out anxiously, her voice trembling with tears.
Zhao Jinzhong turned around and saw Zhou Ruo's small body struggling in the pile of fruit, looking quite comical.
He stepped forward, parted the fruit to make a path, and carried Zhou Ru out.
The soldiers were in chaos, their cries for Wu Lian to wake up were deafening.
Zhao Jinzhong carried Zhou Ruo and ran quickly over. When the soldiers saw Zhou Ruo coming, they immediately made way for her.
Wu Lian held her younger brother Wu Sheng, her face streaked with tears, at a loss for what to do.
"Yes, yes, Miss is here! Miss, please look quickly, what's wrong with my brother?!"
The incident happened so suddenly that the soldiers were in a state of chaos and forgot that Little Fairy Doctor was right beside them.
When Zhou Ruo stepped forward, she saw that Wu Lian's face had turned completely black.
Looking further down, I saw that my neck, hands, and feet—any part of my body not covered by clothes—were completely black.
This also means that his entire body is now black.
"Wow~ It's highly poisonous!" Zhou Ruo's eyes lit up.
Her tone seemed overly surprised, completely at odds with the soldiers' anxious emotions, leaving them stunned.
"Ruo Ruo," Zhao Jinzhong sensed something was off and asked Zhou Ruo in a low voice, "You seem quite happy?"
"Hehe, brother, this uncle got cut by the grass next to him and was poisoned." Zhou Ruo was genuinely happy.
But why was she so happy? She couldn't think of it for a moment, but seeing the poison made her feel happy instinctively.
"Highly poisonous?!" Upon hearing these two words, Wu Lian, the older brother, instantly lost his composure. "Miss, please save my brother!"
After saying that, Wu Lian turned around and knelt down in front of Zhou Ruo, kowtowing repeatedly.
"Uncle Ice Toad, don't block my way!"
Zhou Ruo was observing the plant that had cut Wu Lian, pondering ways to save Wu Sheng.
"Oh! I'm sorry, miss!" Wu Lian quickly moved away and retreated to her younger brother's side.
The Ice Mystic Grass is extremely poisonous, with a cold and toxic nature. Zhou Ruo used her spiritual power to identify the plant's toxicity.
Anyone who is cut by it and poisoned will die within half an hour.
Zhou Ruo's first thought was to treat it with fire-attribute silver needles, but the fire-attribute silver needles couldn't even deal with the ice toad.
Not to mention the Ice Mystic Grass, which is several times more poisonous than the Ice Toad's cold poison.
Zhou Ruo drew a "poison-expelling talisman" in the air over Wu Sheng's wound, using 50% of her spiritual power.
The moment the talisman was applied to Wu Sheng's wound, the black toxins dissipated.
However, the toxins soon returned, and the wound turned black again.
Even the talisman for expelling poison was ineffective.
Perhaps we could try using a miraculous elixir to detoxify, Zhou Ruo thought to herself.
But she had never used spiritual power to refine elixirs before, so how could she use elixirs to treat the poison of this Ice Mystic Grass?
She remembered what Dr. Yu's ancient book said: The power of the elixir is to refine the energy in the body into a pill and then output it to the patient.
