Hiss! The moment Ying Zhi entered the poisonous-gas region, he felt a needle-pricking pain spread through his entire body. Realizing something was wrong, he immediately retreated.
In any case, Lu Xiaotian had already told him that if he could not endure it, he should withdraw. Staying alive came first.
After communicating with Lu Xiaotian, he had more or less understood the latter's purpose. Lu Xiaotian wanted to determine how powerful the poisonous gas was, not take his life.
Even with Ying Zhi's cultivation, retreating was no easy matter. Still, he slowly backed away, his movements sluggish.
Unlike the three Jin Zhaolei brothers, who had lost the ability to move on their own the moment they entered the poisonous gas.
The signs before him were already far better than before. Being able to move meant that Ying Zhi still possessed a certain ability to resist this uncontrolled poisonous gas.
Lu Xiaotian reckoned that his own resistance should be slightly stronger than Ying Zhi's. However, he still did not fully understand how great the poisonous gas's destructive power would become later. With powerful enemies surrounding him, Lu Xiaotian could not risk his own body for the sake of testing it.
As Ying Zhi withdrew from the poisonous-gas region, Lu Xiaotian breathed a little easier and handed him several pills left over from his previous refinement. Although the pills he had first refined for Jin Zhaolei and the others had only been moderately effective at neutralizing poison, they could still provide some help. To Ying Zhi, even the slightest assistance was extremely precious at this moment.
Lu Xiaotian was not stingy about letting Ying Zhi use them. Whenever the poisonous gas in Ying Zhi's body eased somewhat, Lu Xiaotian had him enter the poisonous-gas region again.
