Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

The old man slowly opened his eyes and looked at Chu Ze. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

"I am Chu Ze, and I want to see the Medicine King for something."

The old man stroked his beard and said with a half-smile: "I am the King of Medicine. Tell me, what do you want?"

Chu Ze was delighted and quickly told the King of Medicine how he was poisoned and what he wanted.

After hearing this, the Medicine King frowned slightly and said, "Your poison is very serious. Although I am proficient in medicine, I may not be able to cure it."

Chu Ze's heart sank. Could it be that even the King of Medicine was helpless?

"However," the Medicine King paused and continued, "I do know a way to detoxify, but..."

"Just what?" Chu Ze asked quickly.

The Medicine King pointed to a mountain deep in the valley and said, "That mountain is called 'Poison Dragon Peak'. On the top of the mountain grows a strange flower called 'Seven-Star Begonia'. This flower is extremely poisonous, but it is also the key to curing the poison in your body."

"Seven-star Begonia?" Chu Ze's mind moved, "I'll go get it now!"

"Wait," Medicine King stopped him, "Poison Dragon Peak is full of dangers, there are many poisonous insects and beasts, and there is also miasma, it is difficult for ordinary people to get close. Are you sure you want to go?"

Chu Ze nodded without hesitation: "In order to survive, I have no choice!"

The Medicine King looked at him deeply and said, "Well, then. I will give you a pill that can temporarily suppress the toxins in your body. Remember, you must retrieve the Seven-Star Begonia within three days, otherwise, even the gods cannot save you!"

Chu Ze took a deep breath, and with his weak body, he stepped into the deep Yaowang Valley. The valley was filled with towering ancient trees, blocking out the sun. The air was filled with the damp smell of rotten leaves, which was suffocating. He walked along the rugged mountain road with difficulty, and every step was like stepping on cotton, light and yet extremely heavy. The toxins in his body were like millions of ants gnawing at his internal organs, and the waves of severe pain almost made him faint.

But he didn't dare to stop. The Medicine King said that he must retrieve the Seven-Star Begonia within three days, otherwise even the gods could not save him! He tightly grasped the pill given to him by the Medicine King, as if it was his only life-saving straw.

"rustle……"

A slight sound came from behind him. Chu Ze's heart trembled. He turned back suddenly, but saw nothing.

"Is it an illusion?" He thought to himself, perhaps the effect of the toxin caused him to hallucinate.

He continued to walk forward, but the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger. The trees around him seemed to come alive, approaching him with their fangs bared, and countless poisonous insects and beasts seemed to be lurking in the shadows, ready to devour him at any time.

"Hiss..."

There was another strange noise, this time clearer, right next to his ear!

Chu Ze turned his head suddenly and saw a colorful poisonous snake coiled on a tree, spitting out its tongue and staring at him fiercely.

He held his breath and dared not act rashly, for he knew that any panic in this situation could lead to his death.

He slowly stretched out his hand, took out a dagger from his arms, and fixed his eyes on the venomous snake.

The poisonous snake seemed to have sensed his intention, and it arched its body and pounced on him!

Chu Ze was well prepared. He dodged the snake's attack by moving sideways, and stabbed out with the dagger in his hand like lightning, hitting the snake right in the vital spot!

The poisonous snake twisted its body in pain and finally fell down helplessly.

Chu Ze let out a long sigh and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He knew that this was just the beginning, and the dangers of Poison Dragon Peak were far more than this.

He continued to move forward, encountering all kinds of poisonous insects and beasts along the way, including giant spiders, ferocious wild boars, and poisonous scorpions hiding in the dark. With his extraordinary martial arts and calm mind, he escaped danger again and again.

However, as time went by, the poison in his body became more and more serious, and his steps became heavier. He knew that he had to find the Seven-Star Begonia as soon as possible, otherwise he would really die here. Finally, on the morning of the third day, he arrived at the top of the Poison Dragon Peak.

The scenery at the top of the mountain is completely different from the gloomy and terrifying scenery at the foot of the mountain. It is sunny, the air is fresh, and all kinds of exotic flowers and plants are in full bloom, which is beautiful beyond words.

In the center of the peak, there grew a peculiar plant. Its leaves were bright red and shaped like a crabapple flower, with seven golden stars dotted on its petals. It was the seven-star crabapple he was looking for!

Chu Ze was overjoyed and hurried forward to pick the seven-star crabapple.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded: "Wait!"

Chu Ze was startled and turned around, only to see a woman in white standing not far away, looking at him coldly.

The woman had a stunningly beautiful appearance and a cool temperament, like a fairy from heaven descending to earth.

"Who are you?" Chu Ze asked vigilantly.

"I am the guardian of this Poison Dragon Peak," the woman said calmly, "The Seven-Star Begonia is a spiritual creature of heaven and earth, how can I allow you to pick it at will?"

"I'm poisoned and need Seven-Star Begonia to save my life!" Chu Ze said anxiously, "Please help me, young lady!"

The woman looked at him, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes: "What kind of poison have you been poisoned by?"

Chu Ze told the woman how he was poisoned.

After hearing this, the woman frowned slightly: "Your poison is indeed very serious. However, the Seven-Star Begonia is not the antidote, but..."

"What is it?" Chu Ze asked quickly.

The woman's tone was calm, but it exploded in Chu Ze's ears like thunder: "It's a lock."

"Lock?" Chu Ze was puzzled.

"The Seven-Star Begonia locks the toxins in your body. If you take it, the toxins will be suppressed, but they can never be eradicated." The woman explained, her eyes as clear as water, yet bottomless. "If you take it, you will be controlled by the Seven-Star Begonia for the rest of your life. You must take it once every 49 days, otherwise the toxins will erupt, more violently than before."

Chu Ze's heart sank. This Seven-Star Begonia was so overbearing! But he had no choice. Rather than dying from the poison, he would rather linger on. At least there was hope of survival.

"Thank you for telling me, young lady." Chu Ze clasped his fists and said, "Please allow me to pick the seven-star crabapple."

The woman was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Well, since you have this fate, take it."

Chu Ze was overjoyed and hurried forward, carefully picking the seven-star crabapple.

After taking the Seven-Star Begonia, Chu Ze suddenly felt a cool feeling flowing through his body, and his body, which had been in unbearable pain, gradually returned to normal.

"Thank you, young lady, for saving my life!" Chu Ze said gratefully.

"No need to thank me," the woman said calmly, "Now that you have taken the Seven-Star Begonia, you must remember what I just said. You must take it once every forty-nine days."

"I'll keep it in mind." Chu Ze nodded solemnly.

"Go away." The woman waved her hand, turned and left, her figure gradually disappearing into the mist.

Chu Ze looked at the woman's back, his heart full of doubts. Who on earth was this woman? Why did she want to protect this Poison Dragon Peak? (End of this chapter)
