Grandmaster Poisoned to Death? Third Update!

Grandmaster Poisoned to Death? Third Update!

You worthless bug, did you have to be this disgusting?!

Green saliva dripped onto Qin Feng's body, covering him in goosebumps. He nearly threw up last night's dinner.

Even if he had to die, he couldn't die without any dignity, could he?!

But it was a damn bug. How was he supposed to talk to it about dignity?

Just like that, sharp fangs bit down toward Qin Feng. With his eyes tightly shut, Qin Feng heard a series of crisp chewing sounds.

He seemed to feel himself being tossed and churned about inside that ugly bug's mouth.

Gradually, the sounds grew quieter, and the world slowly fell silent. At that moment, Qin Feng vaguely realized that his body seemed a little itchy.

"Could it be that I'm not dead?"

With his eyes closed, Qin Feng asked himself in his subconscious.

If he had been eaten, his entire body should have vanished, and even his consciousness should have been severed. How could he still feel that his body was a little itchy?

Qin Feng slowly opened his eyes. To his surprise, he found himself sitting cross-legged amidst a field of stars.

A tiny ugly bug, nearly blending into the darkness, wriggled as it crawled all over him.

"Wh-what is going on?"

Qin Feng looked utterly baffled.

Why had he suddenly become so huge, while that ugly bug that had seemed like a giant before had become so tiny? And hadn't he died?

A string of question marks surfaced in Qin Feng's mind.

Could everything just now have been an illusion?

As soon as that thought arose, Qin Feng began recalling what had happened. Piecing everything together, he finally confirmed that he had truly fallen into an illusion created by the Thunder Tyrant Tiger through its lingering obsession of the soul.

Qin Feng roughly guessed that the Thunder Tyrant Tiger had intended to kill him through the illusion.

He had never expected this ugly little thing to discover it and forcibly devour the entire illusion.

Qin Feng stood and slightly raised his left hand.

Looking at the ugly bug before him, which resembled a silkworm but was hundreds of times uglier, he fell into deep thought.

What exactly was this thing?

How could it even devour illusions?!

He had never seen a similar spirit beast in the novels before.

The status panel said this ugly bug was a divine beast, but what kind of divine beast looked like this?!

Qin Feng was utterly stumped. After struggling with it for a while, he finally decided to set the matter aside for now.

With a focused thought, the cross-legged body outside, which resembled an exquisite sculpture, trembled slightly before its eyes flew open in an instant.

Beside Qin Feng, a purple ring of light slowly rose from the ground, passed over his head, and vanished.

This was the sign of successfully integrating a Spirit Ring.

"F-Feng Ge?!"

From afar came an incomparably shocked voice at the instant Qin Feng's body changed.

It was filled with shock and excitement!!

"Wh-what happened?!"

Qin Feng stood up. It was nighttime now, and a small bonfire had been lit where Tang San was. The Grandmaster was lying beside it.

Normally, no fire should be lit in a spirit beast forest. Why had Xiao San ignored the Grandmaster's instructions and insisted on lighting one?

"Teacher has been poisoned. I tried to detoxify him, but the poison has already spread throughout his body."

Tang San spoke helplessly. He did not want to start a fire here either, but his teacher's body was simply too cold.

As someone from the Tang Sect, he was also an expert at using poison.

The Black Mandala Snake's venom was naturally violent and highly destructive to the nervous system. Alone in this place where medicinal ingredients were scarce, he had no way to completely remove it. Even suppressing the poison's onset was extremely difficult.

If he could go out and buy medicine, Tang San was confident he could detoxify his teacher.

But if he left to buy medicine, with no one here to watch over his teacher and Feng Ge, then should a carnivorous ferocious beast appear, the two of them would become a feast on its table.

If he took his teacher with him, Feng Ge would still be here integrating his Spirit Ring. If danger struck, he would be doomed as well.

Tang San could not do something like abandoning a friend.

"Let me take a look!"

Qin Feng was somewhat anxious and instantly rushed forward.

By all rights, didn't Xiao San have the Tang Sect's secret detoxification techniques? Snake venom shouldn't have been difficult to deal with, right?!

Why was the Grandmaster still unconscious?

Qin Feng reached out and touched the Grandmaster. He found the man's hands and feet ice-cold, his breathing extremely weak, as if it could cease at any moment.

"H-how is it this serious?!"

Qin Feng stared at Tang San in disbelief.

The Grandmaster's heart had been invaded by snake venom. He was just a little short of going cold.

Was the Black Mandala Snake's venom really this fast-acting?

"When I woke up, Teacher's meridians were already extremely weak. For the past three days, I've been using Soul Power and special herbs I found in the Soul Hunting Forest to keep him alive."

Tang San's face was full of helplessness.

"It's already been three days since you woke up?!"

Qin Feng was stunned!

How had so much time passed?

He had clearly felt as though absorbing the Spirit Ring had only taken a little while, yet three days had passed in the blink of an eye.

"Mm-hmm. It took me two days to absorb my Spirit Ring, so Teacher has probably been poisoned for five days."

Tang San answered.

Because he encountered some unexpected trouble while absorbing the Spirit Ring, it took a full two days to complete it.

"Hiss!"

Qin Feng sucked in a cold breath.

This time, they were really done for. So much time had already passed.

"Then why didn't you take the Grandmaster out to treat his injuries? You've already missed the best time for treatment!"

Qin Feng spread his hands, staring at Tang San with a highly agitated expression.

If they had taken him out when Tang San first woke up, there might have been a slim chance of survival.

But now, the Grandmaster was about to die.

"I wanted to take Teacher out then too, but if I took him away, wouldn't that have left Feng Ge here alone? If a spirit beast showed up, Feng Ge, you would definitely die!"

Tang San's face was bitter.

No one knew how torn he had been then. He had nearly smashed his head into that old locust tree.

One was his teacher; the other was practically his older brother and good companion.

Forced to choose between the two, Tang San had wanted nothing more than to tear himself in half.

Given the situation at the time, if he took his teacher out and left Feng Ge here, his teacher might have had a slim chance of survival, but Feng Ge definitely would not have lived to see the next day.

Because wolves came through here at night. Without anyone guarding him, those wolves would attack Qin Feng while he was breaking through.

But if he chose to stay here, Feng Ge definitely would not die from outside forces, though his teacher's life would slowly fade away.

Tang San agonized over the choice again and again before finally choosing the latter.

He would stay here first and leave after Qin Feng completed his breakthrough.

As long as he gathered herbs from the surrounding area, with his understanding of poison, keeping him alive for another day or two would not be a problem.

Yet he had never expected the delay to last four days!

Qin Feng only completed his breakthrough when his teacher's life was finally running dry.
