Chapter 598 Pollen
Chapter 598 Pollen
Zhou Zhi nodded his chin thoughtfully when he heard this. A meaningful look flashed in his light grey eyes. After a moment, he replied calmly, "You have a point."
"But it's not convenient to travel in the dark, so let's set out after daybreak, and you can lead the way then."
The man saluted Zhou Xing excitedly, "Yes, Your Majesty."
They found a place to rest.
The man first simply treated the wounds on his body, and then, holding the weapon in his hand, he stood by Zhou Zhi diligently, alert to the slightest movement around him.
The night passed quickly.
The other party hardly closed his eyes, and at first glance, he did seem to be loyal to Zhou Zhi.
It was already dawning. Zhou Zhi poured out the water from the kettle and washed his face to make himself more awake. Then he told the man to lead the way.
Lu Chihuan observed the other person for a whole night and did not notice anything strange.
So now he jumped down from the thinner branch, then stretched out his arms and hugged Zhou Zhi's shoulders accurately.
His whole body was hanging lightly on the other person's body, like a big doll.
Ever since he turned into a soul, Lu Chihuan was worried that with his current weight, he would be easily blown away by strong winds, so he would always find something to hang on to wherever he went.
Look at the route the other party took.
Lu Chihuan frowned imperceptibly, concentrated his strength on his fingers, and then placed his soft fingertips on Zhou Zhi's smooth neck and wrote a few words.
"wrong."
“We took the wrong route.”
Zhou Zhi's body suddenly stiffened, and his Adam's apple rolled heavily.
The slight itchiness made him purse his lips unconsciously, and his light grey pupils also darkened a little. For a moment he was extremely uncomfortable.
Therefore, he turned his head and glanced behind him with a slight warning, as if to signal Lu Chihuan not to act rashly again.
Lu Chihuan blinked a few times.
She also realized that this action seemed too ambiguous, so after sticking out her tongue, she withdrew her hand in annoyance.
cough.
It was also Zhou Zhi's fault that he had no scruples when interacting with him on weekdays. After being boiled like a frog in warm water, he had already gotten used to these actions.
and so.
Now I have no sense of propriety.
Zhou Zhi looked up at the man leading the way in front. The man was concentrating on cutting down the bushes blocking the road with a knife, so he did not notice anything unusual about Zhou Zhi.
He lowered his eyelids indifferently.
I don't know what he was thinking, but after a moment he silently picked up his weapon and walked over to help the other person.
Lu Chihuan tilted his head.
Looking at the scene in front of him, he guessed that Zhou Zhi must be pretending to notice nothing, and then wanted to use the man in front of him to lure out the mastermind behind the scenes.
See this.
He simply rested his chin on Zhou Zhi's shoulder.
I'm not going to intervene.
The man who led the way was injured.
The wound was only treated simply and hastily, so after a morning's journey, his lips were noticeably paler and a hint of pain appeared on his face.
The walking speed also slowed down.
Zhou Zhi saw this.
He stopped and said, "Let's stop and take a rest first."
"Look for water and herbs nearby to treat your wound. Otherwise, it will only get worse."
The man was obviously touched.
But he still refused, "Your Majesty, I can hold on a little longer. We only need to walk for a few more hours to leave this forest..."
Zhou Zhi raised his eyes.
There was a hint of coldness and sharpness in his eyes. He bent his bony fingers and tapped his arm a few times. "No need."
"If you faint on the way due to your wound, it will waste our time even more. If this matter gets out, others may accuse me of mistreating my subordinates."
The man showed a struggle on his face.
After a moment, he seemed to be convinced by these words, so he replied in a low voice:
"Yes."
"Then your majesty, I will be back soon."
Lu Chihuan stared at his back as he disappeared into the bushes not far away. He didn't know why he always felt a little uneasy.
Now he turned his head absentmindedly, and out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of vines entwined around the tree trunk like snakes.
And the flowers that bloom on it.
This flower is almost as big as an adult's palm. It is colorful and gorgeous. It now emits a very strong and rich fragrance, attracting swarms of bees and butterflies for pollination.
For an instant.
He almost got scared.
After Lu Chihuan came to his senses, he discovered that this vine had extremely strong vitality.
The open space not far away was almost densely covered and crowded with vines and flowers. They scrambled to climb up the nearby tree trunks and bushes, desperately absorbing the sunlight and rain from above.
The leaves on the tree trunks they climbed turned yellow and showed signs of withering.
Because there are so many vines and flowers growing in this area, the fragrance is even stronger, and it makes people dizzy after smelling it for a long time.
Lu Chihuan was curious.
So his sense of smell was restored for a few seconds, but the moment he smelled the fragrance of the flowers, his strength was instantly withdrawn, and he suppressed the sneeze.
Not right.
There's something wrong with this floral scent.
He covered the tip of his nose, then looked down at Zhou Zhi who was sitting against the tree trunk.
Just as he was about to remind the other party to be careful, he saw Zhou Zhi slowly closing his eyes in the warm breeze with the scent of flowers, and he seemed to be a little drowsy.
His brows were slightly knitted.
It seemed as if consciousness was being pulled back and forth.
Lu Chihuan quickly pushed the other person's shoulders a few times, but this action only made Zhou Zhi frown and was not enough to wake him up.
He wanted to speak up to wake Zhou Zhi up.
However, he was worried that the officer who led them had not gone far and would discover his presence.
Therefore, I am conflicted.
Lu Chihuan could only use pain to stimulate Zhou Zhi and wake him up from his drowsy state. However, after he pinched Zhou Zhi several times, the other party still had no reaction.
If you cut yourself with a knife...
He couldn't bring himself to do it.
Furthermore, if the officer were to see the knife floating in the air, he would probably be able to guess something was wrong using just his toes.
So he thought for a moment.
Taking advantage of Zhou Zhi's sideways movement, he reached out and pulled the collar of the other person's clothes to the side. Zhou Zhi was probably only wearing a vest on his upper body during confrontation training.
Therefore, part of the skin on the shoulders was tanned into a light honey color.
Lu Chihuan lowered his eyelids.
After staring at him for a while, he made up his mind, concentrated his strength on his mouth, and bit Zhou Zhi's shoulder fiercely.
He didn't save any effort on this one.
As a result, a faint smell of blood soon appeared in his mouth. He could feel Zhou Zhi's muscles twitching, and then becoming stiff and tense, as if he felt pain.
soon.
Zhou Zhi groaned.
He still felt a little dizzy, and distorted and colorful images flashed before his eyes. His stomach also felt a little uncomfortable. If you didn't know, you would think he had eaten some poisonous mushrooms.
But the good thing is...
His consciousness has already become clear.
After he choked and coughed a few times, the low voice began to sound, sounding tired and a little hoarse.
"All right."
"I'm awake now."
Lu Chihuan quickly relaxed.
He looked at the teeth marks on Zhou Zhi's shoulder that were still bleeding. For some reason, he felt guilty, so he lowered his head and held the wound in his mouth to clean the blood.
If we say that when Lu Chihuan bit Zhou Zhi just now, Zhou Zhi's consciousness was still a little unclear.
Now.
He just felt something soft and wet touching his shoulder.
His scalp felt numb and a small electric current seemed to run through his back. He felt as if he was being dragged into the water by a force and began to feel suffocated.
This feeling……
It's really strange and weird.
But he also understood that this "senior" just wanted to wake him up in this way.
In addition, perhaps he had stayed in the peace locket for too long and didn't know how to strike the right balance in getting along with others, so he kept making these strange moves again and again.
I can't blame the other person.
Therefore, Zhou Zhi could only rub his brows in annoyance, pull up his shirt that he had torn off, and then said in a helpless tone, "Senior."
"This minor injury is no problem for me."
"Don't be nervous."
and so.
There is no need to use that method to heal his wounds. Saliva cannot eliminate poison.
Before Lu Chihuan could reply, he heard a rustling sound coming from a distance. He immediately wrote a few words on Zhou Zhi's back, "Someone is coming."
Zhou Zhi looked stern.
Now he pretended to be unconscious, relaxed his body and leaned against the tree.
When one cannot see, one's hearing and sense of smell become more sensitive. Therefore, after Zhou Zhi closed his eyes, he could hear the sound of footsteps approaching from not far away.
The other party seems to be very leisurely.
He looked like a skilled hunter who was about to pick up the prey that had fallen into a trap. The wounds on his body seemed to have been bandaged again, but there was still a faint smell of blood.
He stood in front of Zhou Zhi.
After staring at him for a while, he sneered in a rather unfriendly manner.
It seems like he is laughing at something.
The next moment, he reached out and took out the peace locket hanging around Zhou Zhi's neck, and was about to pull it off without hesitation.
however.
His hand was tightly grasped by another hand. The man raised his head in surprise and met Zhou Zhi's cold but clear eyes. "What is your purpose——"
“It’s always been this way.”
Zhou Zhi's voice was indifferent, as if he was not surprised by the scene before him.
even.
All along the way he had been patiently waiting for the other party to show his true colors, and now that he had finally waited, not only did he not feel any sense of betrayal, but he was indescribably excited and relieved.
"How could you..."
The man who tried to take off the peace locket hanging on Zhou Zhi’s chest was actually the officer Zhou Zhi rescued from the star beast.
Now.
His pupils narrowed.
His eyes were gloomy and contained a hint of cruelty, and he looked like an emerald green bamboo creeper lurking among the branches and leaves. Now he seemed to be a little speechless, and it took him a long while to utter the second half of the sentence.
"This is the burial place I carefully prepared for you. The pollen here has an anesthetic effect. Once you inhale a large amount of the pollen here, you will fall into paralysis and sleep without knowing it, and no one can wake you up."
"How did you suddenly wake up from your coma? Could it be that..."
"Did anyone help you?"
After hearing this, Zhou Zhi's face remained expressionless.
He pulled the corner of his lips lightly in a cold manner, and deliberately tightened the strength of his hands, causing the man's bones in front of him to creak slightly.
As if it would break in the next second, "Now I am asking you questions."
"Who are you?"
The man chuckled through gritted teeth.
At this moment, he seemed too lazy to continue pretending. He drew out his weapon and stabbed Zhou Zhi in the heart. His movements looked fast, accurate and ruthless, as if he was determined to take the other person's life.
Zhou Zhi's eyes turned cold.
He reflexively drew his weapon to resist, but the hand that was holding the other person's wrist inevitably loosened. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the man slipped out of Zhou Zhi's hand like a nimble fish.
He took a few steps back.
First, she gently rubbed her swollen wrist, then reached out and pulled off the deformation sticker behind her ear, while complaining, "Brother."
"You're being too harsh."
Zhou Zhi was stunned.
After seeing the ordinary-looking man take off the transformation sticker...
He instantly returned to his original appearance, and then turned into a frail young man with emerald green eyes and beautiful features.
There was no color on his lips, and the smile at the corner of his lips was gentle yet a little fake. This face was very familiar to Zhou Zhi, and he slowly uttered the other's name.
"Ah Huai."
In this current timeline.
The two brothers had just broken up not long ago. Zhou Zhi originally thought that they were just people with different ideas and could not work together, but he never thought that the other party would chase him here all the way to take his life.
This brother...
In the end, it couldn't be done.
Zhou Zhi felt disappointed for a moment, but the next moment he hardened his heart, pointed the weapon in his hand at Ah Huai, and said coldly, "Stop talking nonsense."
"Let's do it."
Ah Huai let out two clicks of the tongue.
He turned the weapon lightly in his hand a few times, and the smile on his lips deepened. "Brother, if you want to blame someone, you can only blame your bad luck. Who made you have something that my boss needs?"
"If you hand it over obediently..."
"You don't have to suffer so much."
But he knew Zhou Zhi's character very well. He would rather die in glory than live in disgrace. Therefore, there was no possibility of negotiation between them at all.
as predicted.
After saying this, Zhou Zhi simply sneered, with a hint of sarcasm and coldness in his light grey eyes.
He stood up.
Then he grabbed the weapon and attacked Ah Huai. Ah Huai would naturally not show mercy. After all, if he showed any weakness or cowardice, Zhou Zhi would tear him to pieces with his own hands.
In fact--
His brother's strength is much stronger than his, but because he just inhaled the pollen, his strength is now reduced.
The two men fought back and forth.
The weapons collided with each other and made a clanging sound, and even burst into dazzling flames.
Just as he was about to repeat the same trick.
When he used his mental power to confuse and control Zhou Zhi, something penetrated through the clothes and flesh on his back and stabbed in violently.
Suddenly.
A pain came over me.
