It was unknown how long it had passed before Zhou Chen felt relatively relieved. To be more precise, he was gradually adapting to the pain.

Although he has the skill of immunity, which greatly enhances his immune system, it is more effective against infectious diseases, and the fire and cold poison is not an infectious disease but a toxin, so the immunity skill will not have much effect on it, and at most it can only slightly alleviate the symptoms.

"Xiaochen, Xiaochen..."

Suddenly, Zhou Chen heard someone calling his name. He was startled and then realized that he was not the only one who fell off the cliff. Lin Shu was also there.

So he turned his body with difficulty and looked towards the place where the sound came from. Then he saw a shadow lying on the snow, moving towards him with difficulty.

"Xiao Shu."

It goes without saying that it must be Lin Shu. Lin Shu is not dead, which makes Zhou Chen overjoyed. He also endures the severe pain and uses his hands and feet to crawl towards Lin Shu.

It was clearly only a dozen meters apart, but it took them nearly ten minutes to get close.

Zhou Chen stretched out his hand and held Lin Shu's right hand. At this moment, although both of them were in great pain, they became each other's only support.

"That's great. That's great. Xiaochen, you're still alive. That's great."

After saying this in a halting manner, Lin Shu tilted his head and fainted again.

"Xiao Shu, Xiao Shu."

Zhou Chen shook Lin Shu's body vigorously, but Lin Shu did not react at all. However, he still felt Lin Shu's pulse beating and knew that Lin Shu was not dead, but just fainted.

At the same time, Zhou Chen also discovered that there were many snow scale insects on Lin Shu's body. They were devouring Lin Shu's burnt flesh and blood. He knew that Lin Shu was also poisoned by the fire and cold poison.

Enduring the severe pain in his body, Zhou Chen stretched out his hands and crushed the snow scale insects on Lin Shu's body one by one.

Although Lin Shu fainted, he would unconsciously cry out in pain every time Zhou Chen touched his wound, but he never woke up.

Feeling a burning itchy throat, Zhou Chen grabbed the snow on the ground and put it into his mouth. The cold snow water entering his throat made him feel a little more comfortable.

Seeing that Lin Shu's lips were also cracked, Zhou Chen also grabbed some snow and crushed it hard, letting the melted water drip into Lin Shu's mouth.

After doing all this, Zhou Chen felt extremely tired, and his head was dizzy. He could no longer hold on, and he fell to the ground in the snow with his head tilted.

On the cliff, Xie Yu and Xia Jiang stood on the edge of the cliff.

It took them several hours to find tens of thousands of Red Flame Army cards, but there were also many cards that were not found, including cards of generals above the rank of lieutenant general.

"The cards of Lin Xie, Lin Shu, and the young Wucheng Hou Zhou Chen have all been found, but there are still some cards that have not been found." Xie Yu said.

Xia Jiang was not surprised. There were tens of thousands of Red Flame Army soldiers. Although they had made a detailed plan, it was inevitable that a few people would escape in such a chaotic battlefield.

"We watched Lin Xie die with our own eyes, but can we be sure that the bodies of Lin Shu and Zhou Chen are their real ones?"

Xie Yu shook his head and said, "The bodies are beyond recognition and can't be put together completely, but the cards they had in their hands couldn't be wrong. Under the circumstances at the time, I don't think it's possible for them to survive."

Xia Jiang said in a deep voice: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of one, look here." He pointed to the bottom of the cliff.

Xie Yu looked at the endless cliff in front of him, his face horrified: "You mean, someone might have jumped off the cliff? But even if they did, it would be impossible for them to survive if they jumped off such a high cliff, even if they were masters on the top ten masters list, right?"

"I said, I'm not afraid of ten thousand, I'm afraid of one. I have to confirm it, otherwise I will be uneasy. I will take the people from the Xuanjing Division to the bottom of the cliff later. You can send me another 5,000 people. I must turn the bottom of the cliff upside down."

Xie Yu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll make the arrangements now, but if we do this, we might have to stay here for a few more days, and it will be hard to report to His Majesty."

Xia Jiang said: "Take the bodies of Lin Xie and others back to report to His Majesty, and tell him that I am searching for the remnants of the Red Flame. His Majesty will not say anything."

"Okay, it's up to you."

After Xie Yu left, Xia Jiang still stared at the bottom of the cliff. He was so persistent because he felt uneasy.

This time the matter was too big, he had to make sure everything went perfectly well, even if it meant spending a little more time.

The cold wind was howling, the bottom of the cliff was covered with snow, and there was silence for thousands of miles.

Zhou Chen couldn't tell whether he was woken up by the cold or the pain. In any case, after he woke up, the cold and pain hit him at the same time, making him extremely miserable.

After waking up, Zhou Chen felt that he had regained a lot of strength and the wounds on his body were all scabby, but some snow scale insects had crawled onto his body at some point.

Zhou Chen did not immediately pay attention to them, but looked at Lin Shu next to him. Lin Shu had not woken up yet, his breath was very weak, but he was still alive.

He breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but think of the introduction of the Fire and Cold Poison in the plot. Although this poison is the worst in the world and makes the poisoned person live a life worse than death, it also has a property that allows the poisoned person to prolong his life.

He felt that the snow scale insects and the fire and cold poison might have contributed to the survival of him and Lin Shu in such a harsh environment.

Although his life was saved, Zhou Chen still didn't dare to relax. He didn't know what the situation was at the bottom of the cliff. He couldn't just lie there like this. If a ferocious beast came, both of them would be in trouble. So he had to find a place to hide temporarily.

As far as the eye could see, there were nothing but snow and trees. But Zhou Chen did not dare to delay. He slowly stood up and used all his strength to carry Lin Shu on his back. Then he walked step by step in the snow with difficulty, looking for a place to rest.

The reason why he was so anxious was mainly because he was worried that although they survived the cliff, it did not mean that the danger was over.

If he was Xie Yu or Xia Jiang, they would definitely send soldiers to search for him under the cliff. If he didn't hide in time and was found, he would be dead.

Zhou Chen made such a big noise, but Lin Shu was still in a coma, without any sign of waking up. In the vast world of ice and snow, it seemed that Zhou Chen was the only one left.

But Zhou Chen didn’t have time to think so much. He wanted to live, no matter how difficult it was, he had to live.

I'm quite busy during the New Year holidays. After I'm done with these busy days, I'll keep updating twice a day!

Chapter 805: Fire and Cold Poison, Life-saving Skills

After searching for a long time, Zhou Chen finally found a place under a cliff. There was a small platform here, and there was a cliff above it, which just blocked the view. The temperature was slightly higher than other places, barely suitable for them to rest.

Zhou Chen carefully put Lin Shu down. Although Lin Shu's life was saved, he did not recover as quickly as Zhou Chen, and his injuries were more serious than Zhou Chen's. So after being tossed around for so long, he still showed no signs of waking up.

He grabbed another handful of snow and fed Lin Shu some snow water.

Looking at the unconscious Lin Shu, Zhou Chen sighed. Although he was a highly skilled doctor, it was difficult for him to treat Lin Shu in this desolate and snowy place without any medicine. He could only rely on his not-so-superb Chinese medicine skills to help Lin Shu stop the bleeding and simply treat the wound.

His throat felt itchy again, and Zhou Chen felt very uncomfortable at the root of his tongue. Thinking of the toxicity of the fire and cold poison, he opened his mouth to speak, but was horrified to find that he did not say what he wanted to say. Instead, he made a humming sound, just like the sound of a mute.

His face suddenly changed, and he realized that this must be the fire and cold poison that caused the root of his tongue to stiffen and make him unable to speak normally.

Although he had expected something like this to happen, he was still shocked and anxious when it actually happened.

It's really painful to feel like you have something to say but can't.

However, Zhou Chen soon calmed down. The fire and cold poison was terrible, but it was not incurable. As long as he survived and went to Langya Pavilion, there would be a chance for treatment.

Thinking of this, my desire to survive became even stronger.

Zhou Chen grabbed the snow on the ground and stuffed it into his mouth. He had gradually adapted to the pain in his body and now felt a strong sense of hunger. His stomach gave him a strong desire to eat.

He had eaten most of the dry food Wei Zheng had given him, and some of it was lost in the battle, so he now had no dry food at all.

Lin Shu also had no dry food on him, but now he was getting more and more hungry. If they couldn't eat in time to restore their strength, their situation would definitely become more dangerous.

However, Zhou Chen looked at the vast snowy land in front of him. Where could he find food in such a place? He wouldn't have to chew on tree bark, right?

A trace of melancholy flashed in his eyes. If there was no choice, then he could only...

Shivering, he quickly shook off the thought. It was too dangerous. How could a time traveler end up like this?

He had just carried Lin Shu all the way here, and his strength was almost gone. Since he couldn't find any food, he didn't dare to move around and waste his energy.

Thinking of the internal energy that had completely dissipated from his body, he began to recall his memories about internal energy.

Soon he remembered a mental method about internal strength. Although it was described in ancient Chinese, Zhou Chen still understood it easily.

As the Wu Chenghou of Daliang, the internal skills he practiced were naturally not bad. If placed in the world of martial arts, it would be top-notch.

But after he fully understood this internal energy technique, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, it was just as he thought. Although this world also had internal strength and martial arts, it was very different from the martial arts novels and TV dramas he had read before.

Even if the internal force in this world is cultivated to a high level, it is almost impossible to leave the body. The internal force depends on the body and can enhance a person's physical strength, endurance, etc. It can also make a person as light as a swallow and agile, and can also recover from injuries to a certain extent.

A situation like that where sword and knife energies were flying everywhere was impossible to happen. At least, even Meng Zhi, who was ranked second on the list of the top ten masters, could not do that.

He also discovered that the recovery of internal strength did not require entering a meditative state like in martial arts novels. It could be recovered as long as one practiced internal energy. The only difference was the quality of the internal energy and the speed of recovery.

But no matter what, compared with the film and television world he had experienced before, this world can indeed be regarded as an extraordinary world. At least flying and dodging, and leaping into the air are absolutely impossible to do in the ordinary world.

Because there is no comparison, he doesn't know whether his internal strength recovery speed is fast or slow. As far as the current situation is concerned, he feels that the recovery speed is very slow.

Slowly, Zhou Chen devoted himself to practicing his internal energy. He thought he would not be able to empty his mind and enter a meditative state, but after some time, he actually entered into meditation and the speed of his internal energy circulation increased significantly.

An unknown amount of time had passed, but his internal energy, which had long been exhausted, had recovered halfway. As his internal energy recovered, he felt that his body had regained a lot of strength and stamina.

This state made him very comfortable, but not long after, he was awakened by the growling sound of his stomach.

Hungry, very hungry, he could feel his stomach twitching, which was a signal to him that he was extremely hungry.

When Zhou Chen opened his eyes, he was surprised to find that Lin Shu, who had been unconscious, had woken up and struggled to sit up.

He had just been immersed in recovering his internal energy and had not noticed that Lin Shu had woken up. If the enemy had suddenly appeared at this moment, he would be really finished.

So while he was happy, he was also alert. It seemed that he could not relax even when practicing his internal energy in the future. He had to devote part of his mind to vigilance, or have someone guarding him.

"Suck……"

Zhou Chen wanted to speak happily, but he forgot that his tongue was stiff and he couldn't speak normally. He only made a series of "Xihawuah" sounds.

Lin Shu saw Zhou Chen's expression, with confusion in his eyes. He said, "(#`O′)..."

Unfortunately, like Zhou Chen, he wanted to speak but made strange sounds, which made his expression freeze instantly.

He didn't make any sound just now because he was worried about disturbing Zhou Chen, so he didn't know that he couldn't speak, he just felt something was wrong with his tongue and throat.

Seeing Lin Shu's anxious and flustered look, Zhou Chen held him down with both hands, opened his mouth but said nothing, then shook his head and pointed at the snow next to him.

Lin Shu didn’t quite understand what Zhou Chen meant, but he still calmed down and stared at Zhou Chen with a puzzled look.

Zhou Chen walked to the snow next to him, found a branch, and wrote on the ground.

"We were poisoned by fire and cold, and our tongues became stiff and we couldn't speak."

Lin Shu's expression was confused, because he had no idea what the fire and cold poison was, nor did he understand why he was poisoned, let alone why he could not speak after being poisoned.

However, he believed Zhou Chen and knew that Zhou Chen would not lie to him, so he nodded at Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen continued to write: "The danger is not over yet, recover your strength as soon as possible and escape."

Lin Shu understood what he said and nodded immediately. However, he looked down at his current state with a dejected look on his face. It was difficult for him to even move now and he couldn't escape alone. Instead, he would drag down Zhou Chen.

"Ah, ah..."

He wanted to let Zhou Chen go alone, but he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Zhou Chen didn't understand what he meant, but he saw his anxiety, so he moved him to the side and handed him the branch in his hand.

Lin Shu raised his hand with difficulty, but as soon as he moved, his brows furrowed, and it was obvious that he was in great pain.

"you go."

He wrote down two words with difficulty, then raised his head and looked at Zhou Chen, shaking his head at him vigorously.

Zhou Chen understood what Lin Shu meant, shook his head decisively and rejected Lin Shu.

If he wanted to leave alone, he would not have stayed until now. He wanted Lin Shu to be alive because Lin Shu had saved him and was his comrade-in-arms. If it weren't for Lin Shu, he might have died more than once in the chaos of the war.

Just for the sake of this friendship, he would never leave Lin Shu alone. He knew that Lin Shu was the protagonist of this world, but who knew if his appearance would change the plot and cause Lin Shu to encounter an accident?

He still needed Lin Shu to help him complete the task. As for replacing Lin Shu, he had thought about it.

He was confident that he could win over the remaining members of the Red Flame Army, and he was also confident that he could build a martial arts gang like the Jiangzuo League, but he was not confident that he could handle things in the court with ease like Lin Shu.

He was not afraid of anything else. He was afraid that after seeing Emperor Liang, he would not be able to control his anger and would kill him with a knife. If that happened, he would not be able to complete his main mission.

At the same time, it is difficult for him to be humble and assist others.

So it was impossible for him to abandon Lin Shu and escape alone.

"I won't abandon you."

When Lin Shu heard this, his body shook with anxiety, but Zhou Chen still held him down and wrote down what he wanted to say.

"Hold on, recover, and leave."

Seeing Zhou Chen so determined, Lin Shu stopped struggling, looked at Zhou Chen seriously for a long time, and finally nodded heavily and picked up the branch.

"Now, go, it's too late."

Zhou Chen understood what he meant. Apparently, Lin Shu also thought that the Western Border Army would definitely come to the bottom of the cliff to search, so he wanted to leave as soon as possible.

However, he knew more clearly that with their current physical strength and injuries, they would probably not be able to walk for long before being discovered, which would be even more risky.

According to his estimation, even if Xia Jiang and Xie Yu would send people to search under the cliff, it would definitely take some time.

First, they needed time to clean up the battlefield. Second, it would take them a while to get to the bottom of the cliff.

Now he didn't know how long he had been unconscious at the bottom of the cliff, but he woke up twice during the day, so he most likely stayed at the bottom of the cliff for two days, or maybe even less than one day.
