Chapter 158, Dan Chen is moved
"Thank you, Mr. Xiao..."Dan Chen's voice was soft, her eyes flickered and she didn't dare to look directly at Xiao Li.
"How is your injury? Is it serious?" Xiao Li asked.
Dan Chen shook his head, then took out a healing pill from the ring and swallowed it to quickly heal the injuries in his body.
This is also a major advantage of the alchemist.
Although the alchemist's combat power may not be very strong, unless the injury is directly fatal, it can be quickly healed by taking various healing medicines.
For an alchemist of Dan Chen's level, this internal injury can be cured by any healing medicine.
"What medicinal herbs are you looking for here? Do you need help?" Xiao Li asked.
He was quite willing to help Danchen. A weak girl made it easy for people to want to protect her.
Dan Chen shook his head: "No need to trouble Master Xiao."
Her relationship with Xiao Li was not that good yet, so she naturally felt embarrassed to trouble Xiao Li.
Moreover, they are now participating in the assessment of the Alchemy Association.
Strictly speaking, Dan Chen and Xiao Li are in a competitive relationship, and they are strong rivals.
You still need to pay a little attention.
"I'm leaving first. Thank you, Mr. Xiao."
The girl thanked him again, then turned and walked out of the dense forest.
But at this moment, a huge shadow suddenly broke out of the ground.
It was a giant snake, very similar to the giant snake that was defeated by Xiao Li just now, but its cultivation was even stronger, having reached the advanced seventh level!
The big snake opened its bloody mouth, and its target was clear: it was coming for Dan Chen!
The sudden scene caught Danchen off guard, and he saw the big snake's attack was about to fall.
"Divine Thunder Star Shattering Step!"
Xiao Li's figure turned into a flash of lightning, and instantly appeared beside Dan Chen, picked her up, and then left the place.
All this happened in a flash, and even Danchen and Dashe were unable to react in time.
boom!
The snake's attack missed, leaving a huge crater on the ground.
Dan Chen was awakened by the noise and found himself lying in Xiao Li's arms.
This was the first time she was hugged by a man, and the unique masculine scent hit her face, dyeing her cheeks red.
Dan Chen quickly came out of Xiao Li's arms, too shy to look at him, and focused his attention on the newly appeared big snake.
"There's actually another one... and its aura is even stronger than the big snake just now."
She was a little horrified.
Twice. If it weren’t for Xiao Li, she would have died twice!
Although Dan will give each contestant who enters the Dan world a space stone, they can crush the space stone and pass it out when encountering danger.
But not everyone has time to crush the space stone.
Some people didn't even have time to react and were ambushed by the monsters hiding in the dark, and they didn't escape the disaster.
This is also one of the contents of the assessment.
In the alchemy world, it is not enough to just find the medicinal materials for the mission.
If you are not careful, you may even lose your life!
“There’s more.”
Xiao Li glanced at the big snake in front of him, then quickly scanned the surrounding dense forest.
Wow!
There were bursts of friction sounds coming from the tall and dense treetops.
That's the sound of scales rubbing against leaves!
I saw huge snake heads appearing one after another on the treetops.
There are so many of them, more than a dozen!
"There are so many..."
Danchen's face was a little pale.
I didn't expect this place to be so dangerous!
These monsters are all level six or seven. Even a Dou Zong warrior will die here if he is not careful.
"These magical beasts should be the guardian beasts of medicinal herbs. It seems that you have picked a very extraordinary medicinal herb." Xiao Li said.
This level of magical beasts are also intelligent, and generally will not actively attack humans who pose no threat, unless humans touch their reverse scales.
For the magical beasts that guard medicinal herbs, medicinal herbs are their biggest Achilles' heel!
"I picked a plant of 'Snake Bone Grass', but I didn't expect it would alarm so many monsters."
"Then I'll return the snake bone grass to them." Dan Chen bit his thin lips and said in a low voice.
She didn't want to implicate Xiao Li, so she had no choice but to hand over the herbs.
Xiao Li didn't expect that she would be so willing to do so.
"It's useless to give it back to them. The monsters are not so easy to talk to. Besides, we have already killed a big snake. They won't let us go." Xiao Li said.
"Then... we can only crush the space stone."
"Crushing the space stone means failure and you won't be able to enter the final round of competition. Are you willing to accept that?" Xiao Li said again.
"Then, what should we do?" Dan Chen was a little at a loss for what to do.
It's neither this nor that. Can I only be eaten by these big snakes?
"Don't worry, I'll take you out."
Having said that, Xiao Li went straight to his hands and picked up Dan Chen again.
The girl exclaimed, but before she could say anything, Xiao Li once again used the Divine Thunder Star Shattering Step and forcibly flew out of the giant snake's encirclement.
But this angered the dozen big snakes, and they immediately chased after it.
"They're coming."
Danchen said nervously.
Xiao Li didn't say anything, but continued flying in the dense forest.
He did not run at the fastest speed, but maintained a constant speed, so that the distance between him and the people behind him was always less than a hundred meters, and it seemed that he would be caught up at any time.
Of course, Xiao Li could just shake them off, or even kill these dozen level six or seven snakes instantly.
But that was not his purpose.
What he needed was to maintain a sense of tension so that Danchen would become dependent on him.
In fact, Dan Chen was so nervous at this moment that her little hands couldn't help but nervously grab Xiao Li's clothes.
"Hold me tight, I'm going to speed up again." Xiao Li suddenly said.
"Oh..." Dan Chen responded subconsciously, then gently put his arms around Xiao Li's waist.
"Hold tighter."
Dan Chen felt that Xiao Li’s request was a bit strange.
But the situation before her left her no time to think too much, and she could only obediently hug Xiao Li tightly.
At this moment, the girl's petite and soft body was pressed tightly against him, and from time to time she smelled pleasant body fragrance.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Xiao Li immediately sped up and slowly left the group of snakes behind him.
Seeing the snakes gradually unable to catch up, Dan Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but his arms still subconsciously held Xiao Li tightly.
She could smell the masculine scent in her nose, which made her heart beat inexplicably.
She blinked and looked up at Xiao Li's angular profile and the serious and resolute expression, which made her feel inexplicably inside.
Danchen has never liked getting too close to the opposite sex. Even among her peers in the family, there are only a few she doesn't dislike so much.
But Danchen inexplicably feels a sense of resistance towards opposite-sex people of the same age outside the family.
But now, she was held in Xiao Li's arms, and she didn't feel any discomfort at all.
Instead, it made her feel inexplicably shy.
In other words, it was Xiao Li who gave her a feeling that no one else could give her.
"This person...seems a little different."
What Danchen didn't know was that he had already been moved invisibly.
