Chapter 0684 Old Li's injury
Many people have also come to see Lao Li, and Lao Zeng often comes. Every time he comes, he will bring different wine to Lao Li. Lao Zeng will open the wine and put it next to Lao Li, so that the fragrance of wine will overflow in the tree house in Nuolin.
Nuolin also often uses the wine brewed by Lao Zeng to disinfect it. He is not disgusted with the wine. He also said that this will help awaken Lao Li's consciousness, but instead supports Lao Zeng's approach.
Lao Zeng and Xia Yu are the most frequent people who come to visit Lao Li. Since Pulin also has to be on duty, he will leave in a hurry every time he comes. Others also have to be busy with things. The people who often stay in the tree house in Nuolin are Xia Yu and Lao Zeng.
It was another stuffy afternoon, and Xia Yu wiped Lao Li's muscles as usual.
Suddenly, Xia Yu felt that his palm was being held by a huge force. Xia Yu, who had not yet recovered from his condition, screamed in pain.
While screaming, Xia Yu suddenly cheered in surprise: "Old Li, you are awake!"
"Xia Yun?" Old Li opened his eyes weakly, "I thought it was Rao Rio Tinto! How long have I slept?"
"It's been six days! You slept for six days and finally woke up!" Xia Yu shouted with joy. Nuolin and Lao Zeng surrounded him. The three of them were familiar with each other. After looking at each other, they could see the excitement in each other's eyes.
Old Li just wanted to sit up, but then he realized that his body was like a pool of mud and could not use any strength at all.
Xia Yu's palm held by Lao Li could also be clearly felt. Except for Lao Li's powerful force when he woke up, his palm had no strength at all at this time.
Old Li also noticed his physical condition at this time, and couldn't help but grin and said to Xia Yu: "It seems that he should have listened to your advice at that time. This feeling is really bad!"
Of course, Xia Yu knew that Lao Li was just a self-deprecating person. If he did it again, he would still take the Crazy Magic Fruit Wine without hesitation!
Xia Yu firmly believes in this.
"Huh, why are there so much wine?" Old Li turned his head and saw the wine jars around him. The different flavors of wine exuded an attractive fragrance, which made Old Li unable to help it, "Hurry, let me drink it first!"
"Old Li, aren't you afraid that I will make you another jar of wine made from Crazy Fruit?" Lao Zeng teased Lao Li on the side.
"Speaking of it, the wine is so strong!" Old Li sneered, "It feels like he's burning, and the power is really terrifying! How did I come back?"
"Brother Principe and the others followed you and La Or Rio. When La Or Rio died, they brought you back."
"Is Rao Rio dead?" Old Li looked at Xia Yu in confusion, "No way? How did it die?"
"Don't you know?" Lao Zeng asked Lao Li.
"I only remember that the last punch hit La Or Riottino in the head and then fell into a coma. It was said that my punch could not hurt La Or Riottino at all, because I punched at least tens of thousands of punches on its head, but the beast was not doing anything. Why did it die with my last punch?"
"Old Li, don't even think about drinking. Now Xia Yun and Lao Zeng go back and have a rest first. I will do a comprehensive test for Lao Li to see his current situation before talking about it..." Nuolin said from the side.
It is naturally impossible for Lao Li to drink alcohol. With his current physical condition, he must be careful even when drinking special medicine soup, let alone alcohol.
After Nuolin checked on Lao Li, he only asked Lao Li to drink medicine soup and could not even eat meat.
When everyone heard that Lao Li had woken up, they came to visit him one after another. This also shows Lao Li's prestige among these people.
Lao Li's tree house was completely destroyed during the battle, and the new tree house had to be built again by Master Sang Yi. Xia Yu asked Lao Li to live in his tree house, and Lao Li happily promised.
Prin was also relieved that Lao Li and Xia Yu lived together temporarily. When Lao Li was in a coma, Xia Yu took care of Lao Li throughout the whole process.
Lao Li naturally heard from Nuolin's mouth that Xia Yu took care of him. Although he didn't say anything, Lao Li's gratitude to Xia Yu was still obvious. It can be seen from the giant palms that Lao Li kept falling on Xia Yu's shoulders that although Lao Li's giant palms now have no power, Xia Yu still couldn't help but grin.
According to Lao Li's current recovery speed, if you want to make a blacksmith as before, you won't have to think about it for a month. After checking Lao Li's body, Nuolin found that although Lao Li woke up, his body became extremely weak. If he was not careful, he would get sick and his wounds would recur. By then, various complications would be caused!
Therefore, for Lao Li, the most terrifying thing is not to have to lie for a month, but not to drink for a month.
Xia Yu's tree house does not store wine, unlike Lao Zeng's house full of wine, which is one of the reasons why Lao Li did not go to Lao Zeng's tree house.
Lao Zeng was not as addicted to alcohol as Lao Li. He was just a winemaker. At most, he would taste it himself after the wine was ready. Lao Li almost made a living by drinking, and he could not live without wine all day when he was making a blacksmith.
Although Lao Li repeatedly instigated Xia Yu to ask Lao Zeng for some wine, Xia Yu refused him harshly. Anyway, Lao Li was even unable to get up, so he was not afraid that he would go to Lao Zeng to steal wine and drink.
Under Xia Yu's care, Lao Li's trauma gradually improved, and the rest was the recovery of his physical strength, so he could only wait slowly.
It’s really pitiful to me, Lao Li, who lies sickly on the vine bed every day. When I feel so nervous, Lao Li will crazily eat the tin-smashed fruit.
The iron fruit is as its name, and the skin is hard and thick. Lao Li told Xia Yu more than once that he had to squeeze it gently before and pinch the iron fruit, but now he can only smash it with a stone to barely split the iron fruit.
The outside of the tin fruit is as hard as iron, but the inside is tender and sweet, rich in nutrition, and is a very good supplement. Nolin specifically instructed Xia Yu to pick more tin fruits for Lao Li to let him eat.
Fuyana never came to cause trouble for Xia Yu again, which made Xia Yu secretly proud for a long time. Fortunately, he wisely brought Lao Li to his residence at that time, otherwise Fuyana would have come to take revenge when she learned that he was cured of his illness.
From this perspective, Xia Yu doesn't want Lao Li to get better so soon. At least he should learn some self-protection skills before Lao Li gets better.
Xia Yu will ask Lao Li for some tricks when he has time. Although Lao Li cannot demonstrate himself, he can give him some advice. In the past few days, Xia Yu has been learning the move that Lao Li used to defend that day - covering the sky with one hand!
According to Lao Li, his hand covers the sky, is the only move that requires relatively relaxed power control and is also the only move that Xia Yu can learn now.
When Lao Li resisted the attack of the ground-hiding snake that day, he used his hand to cover the sky for a long time. With a hammer in his hand, the sky was filled with hammer shadow light curtains. The ground-hiding snake could not break through Lao Li's defense circle at that time. This was the most terrifying defensive manifestation of a hand covering the sky.
Lao Li told Xia Yu that his other moves require extremely high muscle use skills, so he must practice ironwork. Now that Lao Li's tree house is gone, it is naturally impossible for Xia Yu to make an ironwork.
But only this move was covered with one hand, but Xia Yu couldn't practice it well. Lao Li said that this was because Xia Yu lacked the understanding of the moves and had to constantly use it to achieve the perfect state.
Of course, Xia Yu has made progress. At least Lao Li sprinkled a hundred iron fruits, and Xia Yu can occasionally block one...
It is very handsome to use with one hand to cover the sky, but its basic action is just a semi-arc continuous swaying weapon. With the rapid swing of the weapon, a round light curtain will be formed. From the outside, it looks like a large round cover, completely covering the person.
The most agile blocking technique and the fastest way to resist is, although it is just one move, it contains the hard work of countless senior masters.
Although Xia Yu practiced hard, his progress was always very slow.
"Old Li, I'll pick some more tin fruits. If you need anything, call Brother Principe or shout loudly. If someone hears it, he will help you!" Xia Yu said to Old Li.
Lao Li nodded, "You will pick some other fruits and come back. You will be tired of eating this tin fruit every day!"
"Iron fruit is good for your injury recovery, and eating more is good!" Xia Yu carried a basket, "I'm back at about noon."
"Be careful!" Lao Li told Xia Yu.
Walking out of the tree house, the bright sunshine outside the house fell from the gaps of the leaves, and bit by bit like golden light.
The early morning air is filled with a faint water vapor, and the crystal dewdrops shine in the sun. From a distance, they look like pearls, emitting a bright light.
From time to time, dewdrops slipped down from the wide leaves and dripped on Xia Yu's body and on the bridge, which was extremely crisp.
The entire forest appears quiet and peaceful, and occasionally unknown birds and beasts are chirping, adding a bit of harmony to the forest.
On the tree bridge, Xia Yu saw the traces left by the last battle between Rao Rio and Lao Li. A wide and conspicuous open area was like a gully, dividing the forest into two.
The battlefield that day still had black and red blood marks, but the corpses of the dragon dogs and the ground-hiding snakes had long been swallowed up by other hunting beasts, leaving only a blank field with a diameter of nearly twenty meters.
Tall trees collapsed scattered on the bumpy ground, and some tree bridges were also damaged. The most conspicuous ones were the broken jar fragments of Lao Li.
Thinking of the situation that day, Xia Yu couldn't help but shake his head secretly. Old Li was too powerful that day, and that situation had already left a mark on Xia Yu's mind.
Through the battlefield of the past, Xia Yu walked all the way toward the periphery of the forest, which was the direction he was thrown in by Setiriffin that day.
Usually, there are few people coming to this direction, but Xia Yu knew that there was a piece of tin fruit there, so he wanted to pick the tin fruit.
In the forest, Xia Yu did not learn other things, but he became more and more proficient in climbing trees. Now he does not need to rely on any tools. He can travel freely on ancient trees with sensible ease, and even use the rebound of branches to jump between trees like a monkey.
These are all the teachings from Pulin and Lao Li over the past few days that Xia Yu had to learn these in order to pick fruits.
Hunting, with Xia Yu's current skills, I'm afraid I don't even think about it. Moreover, since the demon insects appeared in the Mist Swamp, Pulin issued a notice to everyone that no one should go to the Mist Swamp to hunt again.
Now everyone has to live on fruits, and even Plin has no meat.
Among these people, Principal was a leader. He had experience in leading troops in the army, and his skills were excellent, and he was highly respected by others.
No matter how noble these people had their previous identities, in the eight districts, everyone has gradually forgotten their external halo, and only by surviving is the most important thing.
The watchtower was also built at the suggestion of Plin, and it consisted of some people with good kung fu to take turns to watch the watchtower.
This group of people are also the most powerful combat-capable people in the eighth zone. They only need to be responsible for guarding the safety of the tree house, and all food is provided by others.
Everyone else agrees with the existence of this group of guards. After all, with their guards, there is an additional security guarantee.
In addition to guarding the watchtowers on all sides, the guard also needs to patrol the surroundings of the tree house. Xia Yu was able to be rescued by Prin, and he happened to meet Prin and Fuina patrolling.
Therefore, after Prin issued a order to ban hunting in the Mist Swamp, no one went hunting again, which also greatly increased the consumption of fruit.
The fruit trees that Xia Yu saw along the way were already picked. If this continues, I am afraid that if you want to eat fruits in the future, you will have to go further to pick them.
Although fruits are abundant in the rainforest, their growth period is similar to those outside. Although different fruits ripen every day, once these fruits are picked, they will take several months to grow again. If you follow the current fruit consumption rate, you may be hungry in the near future.
After all, not all plant fruits in the rainforest can be eaten, and fruit trees only account for a small part.
It can be foreseen that if the food problem is not solved in time, many people will have to eat leaves.
The only thing that is more fortunate is that the companion demon insect has not moved towards the forest, which makes the worried Xia Yu feel a little relaxed.
Like Xia Yu, Pulin has always been worried that the accompanying demon insects will swallow the creatures in the Mist Swamp and then turn to the forest. Since taking Lao Li back last time, Pulin has quietly gone to the Mist Swamp more than once.
According to Pulin's return, there are basically no living creatures in the Mist Swamp now, and even if you want to hunt, it is extremely difficult to hunt.
The scope of the eight districts starts with the forest border and extends backward to unknown places. When people arrive at the forest border, they will be bound by seals and cannot continue to move forward.
Xia Yu unknowingly walked to the border of the forest. Looking out from the forest, he could even see the clear blue sea and the endless high sky.
Xia Yu tried to continue stepping forward at the border of the forest. He raised his foot and seemed to hit a ball of soft cotton, but the rebound was very terrifying. His body seemed to be hit by a sudden lightning, which knocked Xia Yu backwards!
