Chapter 277: Purple Night Silver Star Flower

~7 min read 1,343 words

"Treating me as a target is the beginning of your nightmare; enjoy it," Lin Feng said with a smile.

With its bones shattered and its body unable to move, this venomous snake was destined to become a meal for other beasts in Wuyang Mountain; its end would undoubtedly be extremely miserable.

Lin Feng, however, did not look at the venomous snake again, carefully plucked the Baiyue Flower, stored it in his Storage Ring, and then set off once more.

Time passed quickly, and a full day soon went by.

As night gradually fell, Lin Feng stopped to look around, preparing to find a place nearby to spend the night.

At this moment, Lin Feng had already reached the mountainside; if he did not encounter any further accidents, he would be able to reach the summit of Wuyang Mountain by noon tomorrow.

And since today was only the first day and tomorrow would be the second, he had plenty of time—more than enough to describe it as having time to spare.

"In that case, I can return in three days at most; there is still plenty of time before the Soul-Extinguishing Gu awakens," Lin Feng muttered to himself, a smile on his face.

Yet, unexpectedly, at this very moment, a faint, startled cry from a woman suddenly reached his ears.

"Lv Peng, Yang Fan, hurry over here!"

"Lili suddenly can't move!"

Lin Feng frowned slightly, a look of slight confusion appearing on his face.

There were actually other people in Wuyang Mountain?

Four or five hundred meters away from Lin Feng, near a stream, two tents were pitched.

Beside the tents, a campfire was burning at a leisurely pace.

At this moment, a young woman with hair like a pitch-black waterfall was lying on the ground in terror, and beside her was a young girl with her hair in a bun.

Judging by their attire, they seemed to be university students, as they radiated an aura of youth from head to toe.

Two equally young men ran over in a hurry; these two were none other than Lv Peng and Yang Fan.

"Jiajia, what happened to Lili?" Lv Peng asked nervously.

"I don't know either, she just suddenly lay down on the ground..." the girl called Jiajia said with a sobbing tone.

These few people were students at Jiangbei Medical University, and they were all in the same club.

They had come to Wuyang Mountain to sightsee and camp in the wild; the leading woman was named Hu Lili, and this girl with the bun was named Cheng Jiajia.

Cheng Jiajia, Lv Peng, and Yang Fan had nothing special about them, but Hu Lili was different.

Hu Lili was the young lady of the Hu Family, and the Hu Family was one of the wealthy families in Jiangbei.

However, the Hu Family did not rank very high in Jiangbei City; they could only be considered a second-tier wealthy family—let alone comparing them to the Su Family, there was also a large gap compared to the Ye Family.

But even so, Lv Peng, Yang Fan, and Cheng Jiajia were scared to death.

After all, Hu Lili was no ordinary person; if something happened to her here, all three of them would be finished, and the Hu Family would absolutely not let them off!

"Lili, how are you? Do you feel anything?"

Lv Peng looked at Hu Lili again and asked, grabbing Hu Lili's arm and pinching it hard several times.

Hu Lili, however, said with a hint of a sob: "I don't feel anything at all; I have no sensation from the neck down. Am... am I paralyzed?"

"How could you be paralyzed when you were perfectly fine? This shouldn't be!" Lv Peng was extremely anxious, his words incoherent.

Yang Fan asked: "Lili, did you eat something you shouldn't have?"

"I didn't..." Hu Lili said, so anxious that tears were about to fall.

But no matter how anxious she was now, it was useless; she still could not move, and she still could not feel her own body.

This feeling was very much like the rumored high-level paraplegia, and Hu Lili was almost scared to death.

It was at this moment that a man suddenly walked out of the mountain forest in the distance.

"Who are you people? Looking at you, you seem to be a group of university students. Are students these days so idle? Instead of studying hard at school, you run into these deep mountains and old forests; you have quite a lot of nerve!"

The person who walked out of the forest was none other than Lin Feng.

Lv Peng and Yang Fan immediately showed expressions of vigilance, while Cheng Jiajia asked: "Who... who are you?"

"You are not qualified to know who I am. This is not a place you should have come to; pack your things and get down the mountain immediately. Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave here alive," Lin Feng said coldly.

Lv Peng and Yang Fan were already angry and anxious, and now that they heard Lin Feng say this, they were naturally extremely annoyed.

"Who do you think you..."

Lv Peng opened his mouth to curse angrily, but he had only said four words when Hu Lili, who was lying on the ground unable to move, suddenly let out a surprised scream.

"Mr. Lin, is it you? I didn't expect to see you in a place like this..."

Hearing this, Lin Feng looked suspiciously at the female university student lying on the ground.

"You know me? Who are you?" Lin Feng asked.

"My name is Hu Lili, I am from the Hu Family. I saw you at the Yunxiao Group business banquet before. I wanted to greet you at the time, but you were chatting with Chairman Shen the whole time, and I didn't find an opportunity," Hu Lili explained hurriedly.

"The Hu Family? There is another big family named Hu in Jiangbei?" Lin Feng asked.

Hu Lili immediately showed an embarrassed expression and said very helplessly: "Of course there is, it's just that with your status, Mr. Lin, our Hu Family doesn't catch your eye."

Hu Lili's tone was very resentful, as if Lin Feng had done something to wrong her.

"Why are you lying on the ground?" Lin Feng asked again.

"I don't know what happened; I suddenly lost all sensation and couldn't move. Mr. Lin, can you help me? I know you definitely have the ability," Hu Lili said hurriedly, casting a pleading look at Lin Feng.

Lv Peng seemed unable to stand it anymore and asked: "Lili, who is this man? Do you know him?"

"He is our Jiangbei's renowned..."

Before Hu Lili could finish her sentence, Lin Feng interrupted her directly: "Don't say what shouldn't be said."

Hu Lili immediately shut her mouth, not daring to make another sound.

Lin Feng walked over and grabbed Hu Lili's wrist; pure Divine Dragon True Qi immediately emerged from his palm, entering her body like a babbling brook.

Hu Lili immediately felt her body, which had lost all sensation, regain feeling; her left hand, left arm, and even the left side of her body began to feel warm.

This feeling made her feel very comfortable and also very pleasantly surprised; she knew she had found the right person, and Lin Feng could indeed save her!

Suddenly, Lin Feng frowned and said: "It's actually the nerve-paralyzing toxin of the Purple Night Silver Star Flower... did you encounter a Purple Night Silver Star Flower?"

"What is a Purple Night Silver Star Flower?" Hu Lili asked.

"It is a very special medicinal herb; the petals are purple, and there are small silvery-white dots on them," Lin Feng explained.

Hu Lili finally recalled something and said in sudden realization, "So that flower was the cause... Just now on the way here, I saw a cluster of the kind of wild flower you described by the side of the road. It was very beautiful, and out of curiosity, I leaned in and took a sniff..."
