CHAPTER 900: CHAPTER 895: POETRY AND THE DISTANT HORIZONS

Coming to Shennongjia’s Wuya Mountain to search for the Nine Celestial Stone Map, Lin Tian didn’t have high hopes.

JiMoo Ruxue had hidden the Nine Celestial Stone Map here, that was in Ancient Times.

By now, thousands of years have passed.

In such a long time, let alone a mere piece of stone, even great shifts in nature have changed countless times.

Before his eyes.

Perhaps only Wuya Mountain largely remains as it was thousands of years ago.

Lin Tian didn’t expect to find the Nine Celestial Stone Map this time, as long as there’s a clue, there’s a chance to find it.

According to an old woman, the disappearance of the Nine Celestial Stone Map might be related to the Holy Fall Land.

But now Lin Tian needs to head to the East Continent, and also rush to Yanjing to enroll, temporarily dispelling the idea of going to the Central Continent.

After walking a while along the path he came, a few kilometers away from Wuya Mountain, where there was no one around, Lin Tian prepared to summon the Flying Sword to leave.

But, suddenly, a piercing scream came from the front.

"Ah... help!"

It was a girl’s voice, loudly calling for help, with a crying tone, and endless terror.

It seemed that she encountered something extremely terrifying.

The voice was somewhat familiar, could it be Zhu Ting’er who left just now?

Lin Tian turned his head in surprise, retracting the Flying Sword that was already summoned, he spread his Divine Sense to investigate following the sound.

Indeed.

The girl was indeed the Zhu Ting’er from before.

At this moment, she was sitting on the ground by a stream two or three kilometers away from Lin Tian, holding one of her long legs, her pretty face full of panic.

Lin Tian noticed that the leg Zhu Ting’er was holding had a blackened calf, a sign of poisoning.

Zhu Ting’er tried to stand up at that moment but failed to do so.

She crawled a short distance on the ground, seemingly trying to distance herself from something.

Meanwhile, Lin Tian also saw clearly a black mass not far from Zhu Ting’er.

Lin Tian rubbed his forehead, hesitated slightly, then shook his head, and walked towards Zhu Ting’er.

Quickly.

Walking up close.

Lin Tian’s gaze landed on the black mass.

It was a Cannibal Wolf Spider the size of two fists, sitting ten meters away on a rock, staring at Zhu Ting’er with ferocious eyes, like a predator looking at its prey.

The Cannibal Wolf Spider is a fierce toxic creature rarely seen in the wilderness.

Its venom is extremely terrifying; even an elephant would die within minutes if bitten without treatment.

Additionally, the Cannibal Wolf Spider’s toxic mist can corrode any prey, including humans!

The Cannibal Wolf Spider clearly considered Zhu Ting’er its prey.

However.

Upon seeing Lin Tian appear, the Cannibal Wolf Spider screeched as if it had seen its nemesis, and swiftly fled.

Lin Tian didn’t pay it any mind; saving lives was the priority now.

As the Cannibal Wolf Spider fled, Zhu Ting’er’s face was blank, then she noticed Lin Tian approaching.

"You... you followed me! You pervert! I’m about to die, and you still won’t leave me alone!"

Zhu Ting’er, clutching her blackened leg, her pretty face was ashen, with horrified eyes and uncontrollable tears falling, she said to Lin Tian: "You... wouldn’t wait for me to die and then defile my corpse, would you? Ah... I’m going crazy!"

Saying this, Zhu Ting’er looked far away, a face full of guilt, saying: "Dad, Mom, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault for being too headstrong, running out on my own... If you knew, how heartbreaking it would be for you!"

Lin Tian glanced at the spider poison on Zhu Ting’er’s leg, which had already reached the bone, turning his eyes as he listened to her words.

"How am I a pervert? You shouldn’t bathe and relieve yourself randomly in the wilderness! Also, that rock was a clue I was looking for, almost washed away by you!"

Helplessly, Lin Tian spread his hands, explaining again: "Lastly, I didn’t follow you, I only came because I heard your cries for help! If I hadn’t come, you’d only have two or three minutes left to live!"

"Hmph, just because you came doesn’t mean I can survive! Even if I could be sent to the hospital in time, this Cannibal Wolf Spider’s venom is untreatable! I dared to hike out here because I came fully prepared, so I know some things! Also, I study Traditional Chinese Medicine! I know my current situation very well."

Zhu Ting’er angrily chided, wiping her tears: "Hurry up and leave, who knows what beastly things you might do to my body!"

At this moment, Zhu Ting’er seemed to have given up.

"Fine! I’m leaving! I initially wanted to save your life, but you don’t recognize good intentions!"

Lin Tian furrowed his brows slightly and turned to leave.

"Ah... did you say you could save me?"

Zhu Ting’er exclaimed in surprise, quickly coming to her senses as if grabbing a life-saving straw.

After all, she was just an ordinary girl, facing death, it was a lie to say she wasn’t afraid.

"What do you think? If I couldn’t save you, why would I come over!"

Lin Tian stopped, turning around, and said with a pout.

"Then... why were you peeping at me..."

Zhu Ting’er suddenly thought of something, her face turning crimson, and she pouted.

"Sit tight!"

This time Lin Tian was too lazy to explain, stepping forward and grabbing Zhu Ting’er’s leg, reminding her.

Zhu Ting’er was wearing long jeans.

But the Cannibal Wolf Spider had clearly bitten her calf.

And the leg was already wrapped with a bandage, with some crushed Herbal Medicine below, which Zhu Ting’er had probably hastily applied herself.

Rolling up the pant leg, he found the entire leg was blackened.

Zhu Ting’er sat against a rock, staring suspiciously at Lin Tian.

At this moment.

She noticed for the first time the boy in front of her was quite handsome, with a complexion even fairer than hers, and skin that sparked envy.

Moreover.

In close contact, Zhu Ting’er felt a sense of intimacy from the boy, like the ethereal freshness of nature, the kind she always longed for in her nature treks.

The boy sparked an inexplicable feeling of goodwill and the urge to be close.

"How can this be? Could he really not be a bad guy?"

Zhu Ting’er stared blankly at Lin Tian’s well-defined profile, thinking to herself.

"You’re not beyond saving, you won’t die!"

Lin Tian looked up, seeing Zhu Ting’er lost in thought, he said, then went back to work, removing the bandaged Chinese Herbal Medicine, and infused True Qi into her palm, suppressing the severe poison spreading in her leg, before taking out Silver Needles.

"Ah, then... then will I lose my leg?"

Zhu Ting’er was initially overjoyed to hear her life could be saved, but quickly became worried.

Lin Tian didn’t lift his head, gently nodded, and said: "Hmm, you’ll turn into a pretty female cripple!"

"Ah... I..."

Zhu Ting’er paused, then started crying again, tears streaming down.

"Hey, you were facing death just now and didn’t cry this much. To lose a leg, is it worth crying over? At least you’re alive! Besides, I’m just teasing you! Your leg is fine, though it’s troublesome, you won’t be able to walk until at least tomorrow!

Seeing the girl sobbing, Lin Tian felt helpless, and quickly comforted her, saying: "But really, as a girl, you ventured alone into this wilderness? Truly reckless!"

"You... hmph, you’re bullying me!"

Zhu Ting’er realized Lin Tian was teasing her, suddenly cheered up and pouted: "You peeped at me earlier, you saved my life now! So we’re even! But thank you anyway! Are you studying Traditional Chinese Medicine?"

"As for why I’m out here, it’s always been my dream to wander alone! Watching those female heroes in TV dramas, I was very envious. So, I also yearn to wander the world with a Longsword! Even if it means trekking wherever, hehe, as the song goes — Life is more than what one usually sees in front, there’s poetry and the far-off places!"
