Chapter 172 Lin Wan'er's Father's Illness
The Lin Clan's place has been shrouded in a haze recently. Lin Wan'er's father, the once powerful man with a great reputation on the continent, has now suffered a relapse of his injuries and is in danger of death.
After hearing the bad news, Xiao Muchen rushed to Lin Wan'er's side like a gust of wind. When he stepped into the room, he saw Lin Wan'er's delicate body trembling, tears streaming down her face. Her eyes, which were once lively, were now filled with despair and sadness. She cried so hard that her eyes were wet with tears, which made people feel pity for her.
"Wan'er..." Xiao Muchen called softly, his voice full of concern and anxiety.
Lin Wan'er looked up when she heard the voice, and looked at Xiao Muchen with her red and swollen eyes. Her voice was hoarse and sad: "Muchen, my father..." Before she finished speaking, she burst into tears.
Xiao Muchen felt a pain in his heart, and he gently embraced Lin Wan'er in his arms, saying softly, "Don't worry too much, there will definitely be a way to save him."
After Lin Wan'er calmed down, Xiao Muchen learned that Lin Wan'er's father had fought against the mysterious and powerful Hades in a shocking war. In order to protect his people, he fought alone against the powerful enemy and was unfortunately seriously injured, which damaged his vitality. Although he had been recuperating for many years, he still could not recover. Now his old injury relapsed, and he fell into a coma and was dying.
Upon hearing about this incident, the elders of the Lin clan gathered in the meeting hall to discuss a rescue plan. When they saw the extraordinary strength that Xiao Muchen had shown, a glimmer of hope ignited in their eyes.
An elder with white hair but vigorous spirit looked at Xiao Muchen and said solemnly: "Xiao Muchen, the crisis facing the Lin clan now can only be solved by you."
Xiao Muchen's eyes were firm, and he said loudly: "Elder, please speak freely. I will not refuse even if I die!"
The elder took a deep breath and said slowly: "In the depths of the distant Baiwang Mountains, there is a rare spiritual herb that is rare in a thousand years, called Baihui Flower. This flower contains endless vitality and healing power. Only with it as the main material can the ninth-grade elixir Fuhen Pill be refined, which may save the life of Lin Wan'er's father. However, the Baiwang Mountains are a dangerous place. Even if a Dou Sheng strongman goes there, he must be extremely careful. In the mountains, poisonous fog is diffused all year round. Although the Dou Sheng strongman can resist it for a while with his powerful Dou Qi, over time, if he is not careful, he will still be eroded by the poisonous fog and damage the foundation of his Dou Qi. Moreover, this poisonous fog is weird and changeable, and sometimes it will transform into various terrifying scenes, disturbing people's minds. There are also countless powerful monsters, including some terrifying beings at the Dou Sheng level. They have a strong sense of territory. Once they realize that a Dou Sheng strongman has flown over their airspace , they will attack in groups. These monsters are not only powerful, but also have various innate magical powers. Some can spit flames and burn everything; some can control frost and instantly freeze the enemy into ice sculptures; some can hide in the dark and launch a fatal attack. Moreover, there are various natural traps throughout the mountains. Some are bottomless swamps. They seem calm on the surface, but in fact they are hidden whirlpools. Once trapped, even a Dou Sheng strongman will find it difficult to extricate himself; some are ground spike traps hidden in the grass. They are extremely sharp and can penetrate the body in an instant. Even with Dou Qi protecting the body, it is difficult to completely resist. There are also mysterious restrictions. Some can imprison Dou Qi, making it impossible for Dou Sheng strongmen to exert their full strength in a short period of time; some can fascinate the mind and make people fall into endless illusions and find it difficult to extricate themselves. The slightest negligence will lead to despair, and life and death are unpredictable. You..."
Xiao Muchen said without hesitation, "Don't worry, Elder. Even if it means going through mountains of swords and seas of fire, I will get the Baihui flower!"
Lin Wan'er held Xiao Muchen's hand tightly, her beautiful eyes full of worry and reluctance: "Muchen, you must be careful, I...I will wait for you to come back."
Xiao Muchen smiled slightly, gave Lin Wan'er a firm look, then turned around and embarked on the dangerous road to the Baiwang Mountains.
Along the way, Xiao Muchen slept in the open air without stopping for a moment. The sun was high in the sky, the heat was like a furnace, he was sweating profusely, but he never slowed down; when night fell, the cold wind was like an ice knife, he was wearing thin clothes, but he still moved forward courageously.
When Xiao Muchen finally arrived at the edge of the Baiwang Mountains, the scene before him startled him. The mountains were towering into the clouds, the peaks were steep and rugged, and the clouds and mists were lingering in between, giving people a mysterious and terrifying feeling. He took a deep breath and walked into this land of death with firm steps.
Xiao Muchen wanted to fly up and quickly cross the mountains, but soon after he took off, he attracted the attention of a group of powerful monsters. They rushed from all directions and launched a crazy attack on Xiao Muchen. A two-headed python opened its bloody mouth and sprayed black venom. Xiao Muchen quickly dodged sideways. A lion with flames all over its body pounced on it, with scorching heat on its claws. Xiao Muchen swung his sword and started a fierce battle with it. There was also a black panther that could be invisible, and it would launch sneak attacks from the dark from time to time, making Xiao Muchen defenseless.
After a hard battle, Xiao Muchen finally got rid of these monsters, but he was already injured in many places.
As soon as they entered the mountain range, a pungent poisonous fog hit them in the face. Xiao Muchen quickly circulated his fighting spirit to form a layer of light blue protection around his body. The road under his feet was slippery and muddy, and he would slip if he was not careful. The roars of monsters could be heard from time to time, which made people terrified.
As he was walking, Xiao Muchen suddenly felt the ground under his feet become soft. He secretly cried out in his heart, it was too late to get out, and he instantly fell into a huge swamp. He struggled desperately, trying to use his fighting spirit to lift himself up, but the swamp seemed to have a huge suction force, making him sink deeper and deeper. Just when he was almost in despair, Xiao Muchen suddenly burst out with a powerful fighting spirit, shaking the surrounding swamp and splashing it. Finally, he broke free from the swamp and climbed to the shore in a panic.
Before he could catch his breath, a huge two-headed demon wolf rushed out of the woods and pounced on him with its bloody mouth wide open. Xiao Muchen dodged to the side, swung the long sword in his hand, and slashed at the demon wolf with a sharp fighting spirit. The demon wolf reacted very quickly, dodged the attack, and then pounced again. Xiao Muchen and the demon wolf had a fierce battle. His clothes were torn by the demon wolf's claws, and several more wounds appeared on his body. But he did not flinch, and finally found the demon wolf's flaw, stabbed it in the heart with a sword, and the demon wolf fell to the ground with a bang.
Continuing forward, Xiao Muchen encountered another area full of ground spikes. He carefully avoided those sharp ground spikes, but he still accidentally scratched his calf with a ground spike. The pain made him gasp, but he didn't dare to stop, and gritted his teeth and continued to move forward.
As he went deeper into the mountains, Xiao Muchen found that there were more and more restrictions here. Some restrictions would slow down his fighting spirit, as if an invisible force was suppressing him. Some would make him hallucinate. He saw the scene he feared the most, seeing Lin Wan'er in danger, and almost lost himself. Fortunately, he relied on his strong will to break through the illusion and continue to look for Baihuihua's trace.
In the Baiwang Mountains, Xiao Muchen experienced countless hardships and tribulations, but his belief in saving Lin Wan'er's father never wavered, supporting him to keep moving forward.
