Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 629 Longevity

Cui Bianxu spoke as if he was commanding his guards, but Qiqige didn't care at all. She was the one who took charge of matters related to the poisonous insects, and she was really interested in things like frogman poisons.

Generally speaking, poisonous insects exist as a protective function for the internal organs, but more often what is needed is fierce aggressiveness.

Functional poisonous insects like the Frogman Poison are more used for therapeutic purposes. She has relatively few of this type of poisonous insects, and most of them are used to treat some injuries that are often encountered in the tribe.

It is the first time that Layao has directly combined effective poisonous insects with the ability to harm people's lives.

So she was very careful, took out a pair of gloves and put them on, then walked over cautiously.

Jiang Shangxian looked at the pair of gloves that were glowing blue and as thin as a cicada's wings, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Qige's girlish heart again. Sister, you are a real rainbow girl!

Feeling the gazes behind him and remembering Xiao Jiang's boasting for him, Qi Qi Ge suddenly straightened his back and walked over with a confident attitude. He first glanced at Li Sheng to make sure that he was not contaminated with the frogman Gu. Only then did he feel relieved and grabbed the Jiujiu on Xi Wen's head and pulled his head back to expose his neck.

With this action, everyone saw clearly the thing around Xi Wen's neck - the Frogman Gu.

Because the mural was too abstract, when it actually appeared before their eyes, Jiang Shangxian and others who had seen it couldn't help but gasp.

Strictly speaking, this thing doesn't look particularly like a toad. It has short and stubby limbs, and the skin on its head is loose and piled up. Its two bluish-white eyes are bulging and large, disproportionate to its triangular head. The black pupil in the middle is moving strangely. Its back is covered with short, thin spikes like thumbtacks, and the bumps on its skin look a bit like plucked chicken skin. Its whole body is a strange flesh-pink color.

The most shocking thing was Xi Wen. His originally young and handsome face now showed signs of aging, and his black hair had begun to become mottled.

Thinking of the mural, Jiang Shangxian guessed that it was because the mural could show too little, so only the beginning and the end were painted, and the entire process in between was ignored.

This kind of poison will go through a process when it devours a person's life span, and this is just one part of the process.

But no matter what, we must not let it continue to suck away Xi Wen's lifespan.

This kind of evil thing that can take other people's lives at will by relying on power and vicious thoughts must disappear!

The moment Qi Qi Ge saw the Frogman Gu, a complex look flashed in his eyes.

There are countless poisons that can kill people, but this one is so special that she even thought about taking it back for research.

"Qi Qi Ge."

Jiang Shangxian couldn't help but urge her when he saw her staring at the frogman Gu in a daze. Although it was only a few seconds and Xi Wen's change was not big, it was definitely better to take this thing off as soon as possible.

Qi Qi Ge was brought back to his senses by the shout. He closed his eyes and put aside the obscure thoughts in his mind. He raised his hand to pinch the frogman's eyes and then stabbed him in the back. The ancient and complex curse in his mouth gradually became louder like water dripping into a frying pan.

Layao is a sinner, she can't be like her!

The Gu Po was originally created to protect her tribe and treat their injuries. If she loses her original intention, she will end up in a miserable situation.

"Heavenly Bodhisattva!" Yingzi covered her surprised mouth with her hands. Why is this thing like this?

The frogman Gu seemed to have its fate strangled by the back of its neck, with its limbs drooping limply, its eyes bulging out more than before, as if about to pop out, its pointed mouth opened to the extreme, revealing a mouthparts covered with densely packed small fangs, and sharp calls coming out of its throat that had nothing to do with the calls of frogs.

The sound was not loud, but it was extremely harsh and unpleasant. Li Sheng, who was standing next to him, was called out of the mask of pain. Jiang Shangxian couldn't help but cover his ears, but still couldn't avoid this penetrating scream.

Qi Qi Ge knew that this thing made an unpleasant sound, but he didn't expect it to be so unpleasant. He immediately gave up his original plan to take a closer look at it, and used both hands to pinch the thing in half.

As the screams stopped, Jiang Shangxian's mind also returned home. Seeing the frogman Gu broken into two pieces and held in Qiqige's hands, he couldn't help but feel pity: "How did they kill it? What will happen to Xi Wen's life span?"

Her idea was simple: if she could return the life span that had been sucked away, at least she could make up for it a little, right?

Qiqige was concentrating on looking at the frogman Gu in his hand without even looking up: "Do you still want to suck it back? I can't."

In order to prevent the recurrence of the situation like that of Layao, the witches did not pass down any method of transferring lifespan to humans.

Moreover, “Of the life span that was taken away, only one tenth remains. Even if I knew how to do it, it would be useless.”

The reason why Zhao Tuo lived so long was because so many people died. It took so many people combined to allow him to live so long. Xi Wen was only sucked away a little bit, so how many days could he stay after he returned?

"When will he wake up?" Cui Bianxu looked at Xi Wen, who looked a generation older than before, with a tense jawline. He didn't know where the way out was. If he couldn't wake up, it would be difficult to take him out.

Qi Qi Ge reluctantly put the frogman Gu's body aside for Xi Wen and Li Sheng to treat. Li Sheng's leg injury was a little serious, and it was extremely inconvenient for him to move. He looked painful with every step he took, but he was always taciturn. Even though the pain was unbearable and cold sweat was pouring down his face, he still didn't say a word.

On the contrary, Xi Wen had no other external injuries except fatigue and weakness after waking up.

"What happened up there? How did you get into trouble?" Cui Bianxu needed to find out the situation as soon as possible. They didn't see how this thing appeared down there.

Xi Wen's voice was hoarse, and his breathing was particularly heavy when he spoke. He didn't know what had happened to him: "Jiulang, there's something strange about that leaf!"

He had been climbing very smoothly all the way, without any problems. Until he climbed to the bottom of the nearest branch and was about to chop off a leaf, something strange happened!

The leaf suddenly trembled. He first thought that it might be caused by his excessive movement, but then he felt something was wrong. Even though the light was dim, it was not difficult to see that the leaf was a little thick and strange, with countless fine lines on it.

This discovery gave him a hunch that something was wrong, so he decided not to touch it with his own hands and was about to chop off a piece with a knife. However, as soon as he raised the knife, the leaf suddenly jumped up and flew straight towards his face, landing on his neck and causing a sharp pain.

'The leaves suddenly started moving on their own?'

This is really surprising.

But what was even more surprising was that he wanted to slide down immediately, but his body was out of control and he couldn't move at all. Even his eyeballs couldn't move, and the pain in his neck disappeared.

If he hadn't wrapped his legs around the bronze tree, he would have fallen and would not have been able to wait for rescue.

At first he could still hear the people below shouting, but unfortunately he lost all consciousness soon.
