Chapter 697 Are you worried about me?
Compared with other fire beasts, this special fire beast is much smaller in size, but it is much more refined. It clearly has a hint of spirituality on its body, and its intelligence is obviously not inferior to that of monsters of the same level.
At this moment, several people were hiding in a cave. Xia Ruoxi had set up a shielding formation around them to block out all auras.
The reason is simple: there are simply too many fire beasts.
But it's strange that the poison of this special fire beast can be easily found by other fire beasts, but the original body of this creature does not have this ability. It's really strange.
"let go."
Ji Xinyi spoke very coldly.
"There are too many fire beasts outside now. It's too dangerous for you to go out."
"I didn't say I was leaving."
Hearing this, Zhao Mu felt embarrassed to hold Ji Xinyi's hand anymore and was forced to let go. However, the moment he let go, he noticed three more crystal cores in his palm, emitting warm heat.
He raised his hand and saw that it was indeed a crystal core formed by a special fire beast.
"You actually killed three?"
Xia Ruoxi exclaimed.
Although I have never seen the crystal core of a special fire beast, the aura it emits is exactly the same as that of the fire beast seized next to it, so I guessed it easily.
This shocked the three women. Only those who had actually come into contact with this special fire beast understood how difficult it was to kill.
Strong strength is only one aspect. The most important thing is that it is too cunning, just like a loach. The three of them who are at the fourth level of the realm had to put in a lot of effort to successfully catch this special fire beast.
And this Ji Xinyi, who had reached the great perfection of the Kongming realm, actually killed two of them alone.
Why not three? It was because Zhao Mu cooperated with her to kill the last one, and that scene was seen by several people at that time.
"Is this thing useful to Zhao Mu?"
A hint of curiosity flashed in Yan Qingyue's cold eyes.
But Ji Xinyi was very indifferent and had no intention of replying at all.
Seeing this, Zhao Mu smiled and said, "Ji Xinyi said that this thing is a great opportunity for me. It can allow my fire attribute body refining to catch up with the level of thunder attribute body refining."
"what!"
Xia Ruoxi exclaimed in surprise. She had a comprehensive understanding of Zhao Mu and knew exactly what this meant.
Just three crystal cores can be equivalent to several heavenly punishments and countless times of training in the sea of thunder. Isn't this a bit too outrageous?
Ji Xinyi still didn't speak, but everyone knew that this meant that what Zhao Mu had just said was true.
Zhao Mu didn't care about the three crystal cores, but took out a white jade porcelain bottle and handed it to Ji Xinyi.
"what?"
Ji Xinyi asked.
"It's for your healing."
"Need not."
Ji Xinyi decisively refused.
"Just take it if you're told to. Stop talking nonsense."
Zhao Mu angrily stuffed the white jade porcelain bottle directly into her palm, then said with a sullen face: "Don't think I can't see that this kind of fire beast is very cunning. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to hunt it by yourself, not to mention that there are so many other fire beasts around.
You deliberately used yourself as bait to attract this fire beast to attack.
That's how you got the injuries, am I right?"
It was not until this moment that Yan Qingyue and others understood how Ji Xinyi had successfully hunted down those two special fire beasts alone, and it turned out to be in such a risky way.
If you are not careful, you may lose your life.
Just to get these three crystal cores for Zhao Mu?
Yan Qingyue suddenly felt that this girl from the Ji family was a bit complicated. She clearly had feelings for Zhao Mu, so why did she abort the fetus in her womb? She really couldn't understand.
But what she didn't know was that the other person just believed in equal exchange and didn't want to owe Zhao Mu anything.
Seeing Ji Xinyi staring at him blankly after being exposed, Zhao Mu sighed deeply and said earnestly: "Your life is not yours alone. Don't take such risky actions again in the future."
"I know what I'm doing, so there's no danger."
Seeing that Ji Xinyi was still stubborn, Zhao Mu didn't bother to say anything more. After stuffing the white jade porcelain bottle into her hand, he sat down beside her, holding his chest. The blow he just received was not light.
However, this time Yan Bingqing was not the first to step forward. Instead, the cold Ji Xinyi came to him.
After half squatting, he took out a small round bottle and poured out three dark brown bullets the size of his little knuckles. He placed them in his palm, put his hand close to Zhao Mu's mouth, and said coldly: "Open your mouth."
"..."
Zhao Mu was speechless, but he still opened his mouth and was fed immediately.
Before he could react, Ji Xinyi lightly scratched the clothes in front of him, and a large piece fell off, revealing a three-inch long wound.
"This woman is the most difficult person I've ever met in my life, bar none."
Seeing Ji Xinyi lowering her head to apply medicine for herself, Zhao Mu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
It's not that I feel sorry for his injury, it's just that I'm repaying him for the healing holy product he gave me.
If it were Ji Qingyue and the others, Zhao Mu would probably have made an excuse by now and said: You help me apply the medicine, so I should help you apply the medicine too, it's fair and just.
But when facing Ji Xinyi, he gave up decisively.
Ji Xinyi's medicine was very effective, and the injuries recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Is this....Purple Rhythm Divine Spring?"
When Ji Xinyi opened the white jade porcelain bottle and found this healing medicine inside, she immediately returned it to Zhao Mu.
"what are you doing?"
"This is too precious. I can't find anything to compensate you."
"..."
Zhao Mu felt a headache, but luckily he had thought of an excuse beforehand. He said calmly, "Could it be that you forgot the Seventh Moon Exquisite Xun? That's a Taoist artifact, its value far exceeds this little Purple Rhythm Divine Spring. A full jar would be enough."
"The July Linglong Xun never belonged to me."
Ji Xinyi retorted that what she said was the truth. After the Fire God Festival was over, this item would definitely not remain in her hands. Otherwise, she would not have thought of conspiring with Zhao Mu to steal this item.
"But without you, the July Linglong Xun would never have been born, right?"
"If that's the case, then you have contributed a lot to this."
"..."
As soon as Ji Xinyi said this, the two of them suddenly looked at each other, and the atmosphere instantly became silent, because they both recalled the experience of awakening Xian Linglong.
"Are these two flirting?"
Yan Qingyue and Yan Bingqing were not in the mood to watch the show. They had already been studying how to extract the poison. Only Xia Ruoxi was watching and complaining.
The worst thing is that she was one of the witnesses of that incident.
After a moment of silence, Ji Xinyi separated three drops of the Purple Rhythm Divine Spring and returned the rest to Zhao Mu, saying without letting anyone refuse, "This is the maximum I can accept."
Seeing that Zhao Mu still wanted to insist, she explained for the first time: "After the Fire God Festival is over, the storage equipment on me will most likely be inspected by the Ji family. Three drops of Purple Rhythm Divine Spring can still be explained, but so many will bring trouble to me, and even you."
"Also, people's hearts are unpredictable. Don't give away such valuable items casually."
"Are you concerned about me?"
Zhao Mu suddenly felt that Ji Xinyi didn't seem difficult to deal with anymore.
"I'm worried that you won't be able to fulfill your promise."
"..."
