Chapter Thirteen

  Lin Ruo Lan was sleeping drowsily in the middle of the night when she was suddenly startled awake by a intermittent noise.

  "Cough... so cold... Master cough... save me..."

  A burst of teeth-chattering sound accompanied by a faint cry for help made Lin Ruolan reluctantly open her eyes from her sleep; her mouth still muttering: "Who is so bored as to disturb people's dreams in the middle of the night? We're already in this desolate wilderness, what's there to save?"

  The bonfire was about to burn out, in the faint light; Lin Ruo Lan saw very clearly that the cold and handsome healing-type youth who had taken her in was now curled up into a ball lying by the bonfire.

  "Hey...... how are you? Aren't you dead?" Lin Ruolan's drowsiness instantly disappeared, she carefully walked over and lightly kicked the other person with her toes.

  "Cough...cough...so cold..."

  This kick came back with the sound of the opponent's teeth fighting, and a faint cry of "so cold".

  It's okay, as long as I'm alive!

  Lin Ruo Lan saw that the other party could still make a sound, and her heart that had been hanging in suspense suddenly put down; to be honest, Lin Ruo Lan was really worried in this desolate mountain wilderness; she woke up from her sleep and found a corpse lying beside her.

  This was not what she wanted to see, let alone how inauspicious it was; just saying that such a thing was terrifying; Lin Ruo Lan's whole body trembled with fear at the mere thought.

  For her own little heart's sake, and... how could she, a Five-Merit Youth who grew up under the red flag, bear to do something as inhumane as standing by and doing nothing while someone died.

  Lin Ruo Lan first added a few pieces of wood to the fire pit, making the flames bigger and warmer.

  Then she carefully squatted down and reached out to turn over the healing-type boy who was curled up on the ground.

  Damn it!

  As soon as Lin Ruolan saw his appearance, she almost jumped up; what was he doing? Acting like Bao Gong?

  He had clearly seen the other person as a healing-type beautiful young man before he fell asleep, and all he did was sleep for a bit; a good-looking and refined young man had somehow turned into a youth version of Judge Bao with a face as dark as ink.

  What the...? How can the gap be so frightening?!

  No!

  Lin Ruo Lan's eyebrows were furrowed tightly, her brow almost able to pinch a fly to death; she carefully lightly touched the other person's body with her hand.

  "Hmm... Lin Ruolan couldn't help but take a cold breath, geez! It's already May, and the other person's body is still icy to the bone; just looking at the surface temperature, it's only a few degrees at most, no wonder; the other person kept shouting 'so cold... so cold...'".

  Is this poisoning?

  Lin Ruo Lan hesitated for a moment before placing her hand on the other person's pulse, over the past few years in Yunling occasionally when she had free time; Qing Weizi would also teach her some medical skills, although it couldn't be said that she was very proficient; however, these minor scrapes and bruises were no problem.

  It's just that this pulse is really strange, it seems to be fast and slow at the same time; vaguely, she felt as if there was something moving inside his body.

  But with Lin Ruo Lan's level of two brushes and half a bucket of water, she was really unsure about such a profound pulse; was the other party poisoned or did they have a physical problem themselves?

  If it's really poisoning, then what kind of poison is it? And what will be the thing in his body?

  For a moment, Lin Ruolan really didn't know what to do or where to go. Did this person want to be saved? If they wanted to be saved, how should she save them? Where should she start?

  Watching the other person shouting and talking nonsense, Lin Ruolan thought for a moment and decided to try using her spiritual power; anyway, the other party was already in this state, so she might as well treat a dead horse as if it were alive.

  She carefully and slowly input her spiritual energy into the other person's body, and the spiritual energy ran slowly along the other person's meridians; finally near the other person's dantian, Lin Ruolan caught the living thing inside the other person's body with her spiritual energy; she carefully wrapped it up with her spiritual energy, not giving the other person a chance to escape.

  At present, Lin Ruolan's cultivation is not enough, and she cannot use introspection to spy on the other party's body; it's just based on the feeling of being wrapped in her own spiritual power, like a snake or an insect-like small animal.

  Lin Ruo Lan did not think that her move would actually hit the right spot; by mistake, she accidentally saved the other person's life, which was something the other person had not anticipated.

  Lin Ruolan exhausted all her strength, and finally managed to force out the unknown creature that was either a snake or an insect from the other person's body just as her spiritual energy was about to run dry.

  Lin Ruo Lan wiped the sweat from her forehead with her hand, at this moment she couldn't care about any feminine reserve; wearing a rough expression she plopped herself down on the ground.

  Lin Ruo Lan looked at her opponent's face which was gradually returning to normal and once again confirmed that it was indeed the little thing from earlier that was causing trouble.

  The person's complexion not only began to return to normal, but their breathing also gradually stabilized; the trembling had stopped, and after Lin Ruolan repeatedly confirmed that the other party was indeed safe and sound; she casually used a spell on the other party's body, making them sleep even more stably and peacefully; by the time they woke up, there shouldn't be any major issues.

  After resting for a while, Lin Ruolan finally had the mind to take in the small thing that was still wrapped in her spiritual power.

  Its body is about one foot long, and its slender appearance really makes it look a bit like a snake; however, its entire body is pure white, with many fine hairs on its body; rather than saying it looks like a snake, Lin Ruolan thinks it looks more like a magnified N times silkworm; except that its eyes are red.

  Also, Lin Ruolan discovered a strange phenomenon. Within three feet of this weird little thing, the ground was covered with a layer of white frost.

  Ancient Ice Silkworm?

  A strange noun jumped out of Lin Ruolan's mind, and she thought of the four great alien beasts that her cheap master Qing Weizi had mentioned before, which were on the verge of extinction.

  The Four Great Mutated Beasts refer to the four precious animals that mutated from ancient times, apart from the Ancient Ice Silkworm in front of us; there are also the Jade Green Spider, the Seven-Colored Spiritual Fox, and the White Jade Snow Python.

  These four ferocious beasts are treasures as well as extremely toxic substances. However, fortune and misfortune always coexist; when you think it's a disaster, it might actually be a blessing in disguise; when you think it's a blessing, it might actually be a disaster.

  In short, nothing is certain until the end and you will never know whether it's good or bad.

  The extraordinary thing about the Jade Spider is that things woven from its silk are impervious to swords and guns, water and fire; moreover, it's said that a pair of eyes of the Jade Spider can counteract all poisons in the world.

  The seven-colored spirit fox is the most understanding of human nature, its greatest skill is treasure hunting; as long as there are treasures in that place, whether they are edible or usable; it is said that there is no treasure in this world that the seven-colored spirit fox cannot find.

  The White Jade Snow Python is a treasure all over its body, legend has it that its flesh and blood can increase one's internal energy and cure all diseases; its eyes and gallbladder can even neutralize all the world's most deadly poisons, not to mention being immune to all poisons; it's not an exaggeration to say that it's immune to all toxins.

  In the end, it was this ancient ice silkworm that stood out from the other three great beasts; this ancient ice silkworm really didn't have any outstanding features, but its greatest advantage was that as long as you could tame it, then as long as you still had a breath of life left in you, it could make you unkillable.

  Nothing's wrong! Although the ancient ice silkworm can't bring people back to life, it's almost as good; it's just that no one has ever heard of anyone taming an ancient ice silkworm, and legends are always just legends.
