Chapter 972 - 933: River Demon

As Zhao Rong and his group of six all used Qigong and pretended to be dead on the ground,

the fierce river demon in the waterway was immediately confused.

After scanning around, the river demon realized everyone was gone,

feeling a bit puzzled, it said:

"Just now, where did those humans disappear to?

How could they just vanish..."

Upon hearing the river demon’s words, Zhao Rong chuckled and said:

"It seems that using the Breath-holding Technique really works on this river demon..."

Miss Lili looked at the bewildered river demon and then said to Zhao Rong:

"Brother Zhao Rong, since this river demon can’t see us,

we should find a way to get rid of this river demon,

and then take my father away from here..."

Yu Lan took out a very sharp steel knife and quietly approached the river demon, saying:

"Since this river demon can’t see us,

then I’ll use this steel knife to end its life right now..."

Xuelian eagerly took out the scissors she carried with her,

following behind Yu Lan, she said eagerly:

"What if I team up with Xuelian, Xuelian uses the steel knife to cut open the river demon’s belly, and I’ll use scissors to snip its neck,

no way it won’t die..."

But before the two beauties could get close, the river demon’s

assistant loudly warned them, saying:

"Absolutely do not approach that river demon,

because the river demon has very strong toxins on its body..."

The boss also warned Yu Lan and Xuelian, saying:

"We should find other methods to eliminate this river demon...

Otherwise, if we’re contaminated by its toxin, we won’t survive..."

Yet before the assistant and boss could finish speaking,

Yu Lan and Xuelian were already getting close to the river demon.

Quick as a flash, Yu Lan thrust the steel knife forcefully at the river demon’s body.

But to Yu Lan’s surprise, the steel knife slipped upon contact with the river demon’s body, failing to harm it,

while Yu Lan’s hand got smeared with the river demon’s slime.

Seeing that Yu Lan couldn’t finish off the river demon even with a steel knife,

Xuelian stepped up, leapt into the air, and fiercely clipped the river demon’s neck with scissors, saying:

"River demon, die!"

However, the river demon’s body being covered in slime was not only slippery but also resilient,

and when Xuelian’s scissors reached the river demon’s neck, they were ineffective and slipped off.

Moreover, Xuelian accidentally touched the river demon’s slime.

In this way, Yu Lan and Xuelian not only failed to eliminate the river demon but got contaminated with its slime.

At the same time, because the slime on the river demon was toxic,

Yu Lan and Xuelian got poisoned to varying degrees.

Soon, Yu Lan was covered in large, red rashes.

Seeing this, the assistant hurried over and carried Yu Lan to Zhao Rong, frightenedly pointing at Yu Lan’s rashes, saying:

"Brother Zhao Rong, please save Yu Lan,

because Yu Lan is now poisoned,

and the toxin from the river demon is extremely potent..."

But before the assistant finished speaking, Xuelian suddenly collapsed on the ground, groaning in pain, saying:

"My eyes hurt so much,

Assistant, rush over and help me out of here..."

Hearing Xuelian’s cry for help, the assistant quickly flipped over and brought Xuelian back.

As the assistant laid Xuelian flat on the ground,

he was surprised to see Xuelian’s eyes had turned blue.

The assistant paused and said wonderingly:

"Brother, look, Xuelian’s eyes have turned silver and blue,

Could it be that Xuelian has also been poisoned by the river demon’s toxins?"

Upon seeing Xuelian’s eyes turn silver and blue,

Zhao Rong was a bit shocked and said:

"I can’t understand what kind of poison is on this river demon’s slime, causing such rashes,

and even transforming a person’s eyes to silver and blue..."

At that moment, the river demon suddenly laughed aloud, saying:

"Although you all can use Breath-holding Technique,

Although I can’t see you,

The toxin on my body is enough to make your lives worse than death..."

Yu Lan suddenly felt intense pain all over and said:

"Brother Zhao Rong, am I dying of cancer?

Because the pain throughout my body now is unbearable..."

And Xuelian was frantically rubbing her eyes, feeling she couldn’t survive, she said:

"Brother, please save me, my eyes hurt so bad it’s indescribable...

Assistant, you better get a knife and gouge out my eyes,

Perhaps that way, I won’t hurt as much..."

Upon seeing Yu Lan and Xuelian in such agony,

Miss Lili quickly said to Zhao Rong:

"Brother Zhao Rong, please find a way to save Yu Lan and Xuelian,

Can you bear to watch them suffer to death like this?"

Hearing Miss Lili’s words, Zhao Rong quickly opened his Magic Ring and took out a bottle of painkillers, handing it to Miss Lili, he said:

"Miss Lili, give Yu Lan and Xuelian the painkillers first to temporarily ease their pain,

while I quickly use my phone to open the Paradise Shopping Cart app and purchase an antidote to save Yu Lan and Xuelian..."

As Miss Lili was giving the painkillers to Yu Lan and Xuelian, she urged Zhao Rong, saying:

"Brother Zhao Rong, hurry and purchase the antidote from the Paradise Shopping Cart as fast as you can...

This painkiller won’t last long..."

No sooner had Miss Lili finished speaking, Zhao Rong pointed to a package falling from the sky not far away and said to the assistant:

"Assistant, hurry over and get the package, we need to open it,

because I’ve bought the antidote for this river demon from the Paradise Shopping Cart..."

Upon hearing Zhao Rong’s words, the assistant quickly dashed over, picked up the package, and handed it to Zhao Rong, saying:

"Brother Zhao Rong, quickly open it and take out the antidote, give one to Yu Lan and Xuelian..."

But when Zhao Rong opened the package and took out the antidote,

everyone present including Miss Lili, the assistant, and the boss fell to the ground in shock.

The assistant, seeing the box of cold medicine in Zhao Rong’s hand,

frowned and said:

"Brother Zhao Rong, why did you buy cold medicine from the Paradise Shopping Cart?"

The boss also felt a bit angry, saying:

"Zhao Rong, even though you are a super bodyguard,

how can you be so frivolous at this critical moment...

Throw away this cold medicine now,

and buy the antidote again to save Yu Lan and Xuelian..."
