Chapter 175: You are an idiot Part1
Tang Yue quickly took out a cauldron from her space pearl and placed it on the ground right next to Charlotte.
She then lifted her hand up in front of the elf and used a small knife to cut a deep wound on her hand.
Blood slowly dripped from her hand and fell into the cauldron.
Once a decent amount of blood was collected, she then materialized several tongues of flame on her other hand and placed them on the cauldron.
The blood droplets inside immediately sizzled from the heat.
Using this blood as the base, Tang Yue added a few thistle leaves and sprig flowers to the concoction.
After about 5 minutes, and a few more ingredients later, a thick residue settled at the bottom of the cauldron.
“Meh. This should do.” Tang Yue nodded satisfactorily.
She quickly scooped up some of the paste and shoved it into Charlotte’s mouth.
“What… cough… cough… What the hell are you doing?” The elf weakly mumbled.
“It’s a poison antidote.” Tang Yue curtly replied without explaining much.
Charlotte was startled by that reply and stared blankly at the snake in front of her.
Nevertheless, she didn’t have much strength left to resist any of Tang Yue’s actions, and could only silently swallow the thing in her mouth.
Tang Yue scooped up more handfuls and force-fed the paste to the elf.
This was a local serpentine clan poison treatment recipe that they commonly used for younger generations whose body was not mature enough yet.
She was only half certain that this method would actually work, but this was the only thing she could do at this moment.
She did not have any other medicine or antidote on hand, especially considering that poisoning was the last thing Tang Yue had to worry about.
Charlotte coughed up some more blood and swallowed the remaining paste as well.
She hadn’t fully believed the words coming out of the snake’s mouth but the instant the paste hit her stomach, she could already feel a slight relief and warmth spreading through her veins.
“Nnng…” Charlotte moaned from the pain and relief hitting her nerves simultaneously.
She closed her eyes and tried to recuperate her strength.
A few minutes later, a little color even returned to her pale and sunken cheeks.
The elf opened her eyes and murmured faintly. “You are an idiot.”
Tang Yue chuckled. “I guess I am.” She replied.
They might not even get out of here alive.
So what was the point in holding onto these insignificant enmities of the past? It felt childish.
Tang Yue leisurely sat next to the elf, leaning onto the cave’s cold and frigid wall.
She patiently waited for her to recover her strength at least partly.
“How did you get hurt this much?” She couldn’t help but wonder.
Surely, Charlotte must have traveled with a very strong and capable group.
“There is someone else besides us inside the labyrinth.” She muttered through her teeth.
“Someone else?”
“Mmm… A black hooded figure ambushed us from behind and killed two of my teammates.”
“He was much stronger than us. He had to be at least Saint realm or partial Demi-God realm expert.”
“He targeted me next, but luckily at that moment, some sort of spell formation was triggered, the ground collapsed and we all got separated.”
Charlotte explained with great difficulty and a solemn expression on her face.
“Are you sure you don’t know him? I mean you both have a very similar dressing sense.” Tang Yue chuckled.
The elf groaned in misery. If she could, she would have hit her forehead with her palm.
Tang Yue felt bad for her and restrained herself from mocking the wounded woman further.
The duo sat together silently for a long time, one recuperating her strength and the other snacking on roasted meat.
It was only after several hours later, a loud squeaking noise sounded in the distance.
A low-grade striped tail forest lizard wobbled towards them, with a similar pattern of surface wounds, green toxic ooze, and a pair of lifeless beady eyes.
Tang Yue immediately sprang up from her seated position and retrieved her sword.
Xavier was no longer with her and Charlotte was a dead weight. So she only had herself to rely on from this point onward.
Tang Yue calmly and steadily approached the crawling lizard.
When she was somewhat closer to it, she madly dashed towards the undead beast and slashed it into two halves with her high-grade sword.
The beast’s two halves twitched separately which she then burnt to a crisp using a ball of fire, but not before she was coated with a layer of the green toxin.
Ding. Soul strength has been upgraded
Ding. Poison resistance has been upgraded
Ding. 50 Experience points have been rewarded
Tang Yue wiped her sword off with her thumb and her index finger and sheathed it back.
She then turned towards Charlotte and started walking back, when the elf looked at her weirdly.
“You are weak.” She mouthed and shook her head with disappointment.
“Huh?” Tang Yue’s lips twitched.
“Then feel free to jump into action and teach me how it’s done any time you want.” She retorted back.
Not having a come back for that statement, Charlotte turned her face away awkwardly.
The two then continued sitting side by side for a while longer, when a couple more lizards crawled their way.
Tang Yue got up again and swiftly took care of them, but she was slightly worried about the increasing numbers.
“Maybe we should soon start moving before an entire horde starts attacking us?” She suggested to Charlotte.
The elf lowered her head and mumbled. “You should go. You have already done enough.”
“Why? What are you going to do then?”
“I will just wait here. I crushed a jade slip. My dad should have already been informed. He will be here any time now.”
“Do you need to remain at the same spot or can you keep moving, while still waiting for the General?”
“He should be able to sense me wherever I am.” The elf answered.
“Then you are the idiot. Get up and let’s start walking.”
