Chapter 171: Teenager
The pure white scaled skin is stunningly beautiful, and the soft armor it would make would also be very beautiful.
Shen Jufeng mentioned a few other items. Others don't matter. What's important are the rewards dropped by wild monsters.
The snake bones are too large to take out easily. If others see them while passing by on the ground, they might get into trouble.
He used emails to distribute things equally. Lu Jiu didn't ask for the car model props. She had four types of mounts, and it was useless to hold them in her hands. In the end, Shen Jufeng and Zhuang Yun shared them equally.
"It's a good start today. I feel like I will encounter some pretty powerful wild monsters in the future." Lu Jiu said, and she touched her new bow.
But it was a pity that the battle with the two snow pythons was so sudden that she even forgot to secretly take the Body Tempering Pill.
Zhuang Yun took a breath and said, "No, let's take a break. After dealing with the wild monsters at the bronze level, I feel so exhausted."
He only felt this way after dealing with two or three batches of brown-iron mutant-level wild monsters. It can be seen that dealing with Bronze-level wild monsters is difficult.
Seeing that his two teammates were still in good spirits, Zhuang Yun could only envy them. Could it be that he was getting old?
Lu Jiu was a bit frail. Her good spirits were due to the effects of the Body Tempering Pill. However, she was a professional resident of the city and could not tell Zhuang Yun about this just yet.
"Let's take a rest. We came out late, and there was a snowstorm just now, so there aren't many wild monsters."
From the time they left the city until they encountered the snow python, they wandered around for nearly two hours, and it was already noon.
Lu Jiu's stomach growled after she finished speaking. After the fight, her stomach was empty. "Let's have lunch."
The three of them found a comfortable spot and set up a tent.
When they came out of Qingye, they would enjoy Zhuang Yun's freshly cooked food. It was too cold today, so Zhuang Yun decided to make spicy stewed lamb chops.
In the silent jungle, a figure staggered forward.
Holding onto the trunk of the giant tree with his gloved hands, the young man's face grew pale and his lips took on a slight purple hue. He exhaled, and the mist in front of his eyes became almost invisible.
He tightened his collar, attempting to preserve some of the residual warmth on his body.
He couldn't remember how long he had been walking aimlessly like this. If he couldn't find the destination he wanted to reach again, he might die.
After walking for a while, he noticed a spicy aroma in the air, indicating the smell of food.
Is there anyone around here?
The young man didn't know if he was hallucinating. He was hungry and scared, but there was no other way out.
He followed the smell and headed in one direction.
Lu Jiu was still arranging the bowls for their meal later. Today, Zhuang Yun cooked only one dish, but the entire pot was sufficient for all three of them.
Amidst the clatter of bowls and chopsticks, Shen Jufeng suddenly stopped.
Lu Jiu immediately noticed his movements and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Jufeng put his index finger on his lips to signal for silence.
When Lu Jiu and Zhuang Yun saw it, they immediately stopped and held their breath, hoping to hear any movement.
But Zhuang Yun didn't hear anything, while Lu Jiu and Shen Jufeng seemed to have heard something and looked in one direction.
She was confused. Did she defeat a bronze-level wild monster, and did his five senses deteriorate?
"It seems like someone is walking this way." Lu Jiu said.
Zhuang Yun, who was not very far away from them, had not yet developed his five senses and could not hear them.
Shen Jufeng stood up and said, "Let's go outside and have a look."
Zhuang Yun brought the cooked food to the table, covered the pot with a lid, and then followed the two of them out.
After walking about a hundred meters, Lu Jiu saw a figure stumbling along, resembling a drunkard.
Lu Jiu asked, "Did he drink too much?"
Their city-state restaurants sell wine, but few people are so extravagant as to get drunk.
Shen Jufeng didn't stop, and the others continued moving forward. When they got closer, Lu Jiu realized that the person appeared to be injured. Only when they got very close did the other party realize that someone was approaching him.
When the man looked up, Zhuang Yun saw that it was a young man. He appeared to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. He was very young and had an unfamiliar face.
At this time, there was no trace of blood on the young man's face. When he saw them, his dry and chapped lips, devoid of moisture, parted and moved, but produced no sound.
This is a person in very bad physical condition, and Shen Jufeng is at the forefront.
The young man closed his eyes, fainted, and fell directly onto the snow.
The three of them hurried over to check. Zhuang Yun took the young man and let him lean on his lap, gently touching his face. His hands were cold.
"He seems to be sick. Should we take him back?"
Shen Jufeng paused for a moment and glanced at Lu Jiu, who appeared deep in thought.
But Lu Jiu still nodded and said, "Take him back."
They lifted the boy and placed him on Zhuang Yun's back, then carried him back to the tent.
The three of them looked at the unconscious boy and had no choice but to administer a pill to treat his pneumonia.
Zhuang Yun placed the heating stove next to the boy and asked, "Why is this child alone in the wild? I feel like I need to take him back to the city to show him to the manager of the drugstore."
Lu Jiu was sitting next to him, resting her chin in her hands and gazing at the boy's face.
Shen Jufeng looked at her like this and then asked, "Do you know him?"
Lu Jiu nodded, "He probably doesn't know me, but I have seen him. Forget it, we will take him back. We don't know how long he has been in the wild or if there are any other negative consequences. Face condition."
As she said that, she stood up and started packing her belongings. Shen Jufeng didn't say much and followed suit.
Zhuang Yun tucked his mini heater into the boy's clothes.
After gathering their belongings in the tent, Lu Jiu took out her swing and helped the boy up. It seemed as if he was being fixed invisibly when he sat on it, without Lu Jiu needing to hold him up.
Lu Jiu said, "You don't need a mount, just use your wings to keep up."
The two teammates nodded.
The three of them returned to the city gate. Lu Jiu helped the young man down, and then Zhuang Yun carried him to the pharmacy.
In the pharmacy, the boy was placed on the sofa, and the store manager consciously came over to check.
"The patient's pneumonia condition is improving. He still has frostbite and requires external medication for treatment. His levels of qi and blood are also very low, already below 30%."
They could tell that this young man was sick, but his levels of qi and blood were below 30%. No matter how poor he was, there was no medicine available to restore his qi and blood.
"Where is his frostbite?" Lu Jiu asked.
"Hands and knees." The pharmacy manager said and took out a transparent medicine bottle containing milky white ointment. "Apply this externally to the frostbitten area and it will heal by tomorrow." By the way, she also gave him a bottle of tonic.
Applying the medicine was still troublesome for Zhuang Yunlai. Winter clothes were too thick, making it difficult to roll up the trousers directly from the ankles. He had to remove them before applying the medicine.
The pharmacy has a restroom where NPCs stay, and the store manager asked Zhuang Yun to guide people there to apply medicine.
Shen Jufeng asked Lu Jiu about the boy, "Where did you meet him?"
Lu Jiu thought about it, "Before I met you, I was quite impressed with him. He got the skill card at that time. He was so excited that he immediately disclosed the details of the skill and became a target for others, but he quickly fled."
She still remembered that it was a skill called transformation, which could absorb 50% of the damage and transfer it to himself. Qi and blood are similar to her bloodthirsty skills.
Shen Jufeng understood, "He might be a professional player. How could he be reduced to staying alone in the wild?"
Lu Jiu was also puzzled, "Maybe he didn't get a professional card."
