The Legend of the Devil
Ch. 117 - The Desolate Hope
Xue Zhan was looking for a safe place to meditate, he climbed up to the cliff wall and sat on the edge of a stone that was not so spacious but fit for himself. From there Xue Zhan was able to clearly see what was going on underneath where the demons passed by and even killed each other. He only hoped that nothing would bother him at the top because the healing process would probably take hours.
His heartbeat weakened even more over time, after swallowing the five Xue Zhan power-enhancing pills looking for a comfortable position and putting both hands on the legs in a cross-legged sitting position. Sometimes his hands moved, gathering strength and strengthening his body's cell tissue by using third-rate breathing. It helps his body circulate red blood cells rapidly throughout the body replacing blood contaminated by toxins.
After an hour passed Xue Zhan swallowed five medicinal pills at once. There were about thirty pill sized like lizard eggs that he had managed to obtain before the previous cave was destroyed. Dozens of strength-enhancing pills, several types of medicinal plants with different properties, two books - the only one was the science of lightening a high-level body and the other was just a useless scrapbook.
At least Xue Zhan did not regret entering the cave, he got more than Xiang Yi Bai gave. More than enough words. Unexpectedly the five medicinal pills he consumed helped heal much faster. Xue Zhan only needed two hours to get rid of the poison from his body.
This time Xue Zhan vomited blood, more painful than he had ever felt. Time and again he held back the moans so as not to attract the attention of the demon below. Like tiny needles wandering around in his flesh, hundreds or even thousands. The cause of the pain is a poison that has been mixed with blood, some of its internal organs also throbbing due to exposure to the poison.
But the next five pills stopped the pain completely, after ten minutes the pulse and pain disappeared. Xue Zhan let out a breath, a thin white smoke came out from his mouth that was still spitting out blood. This time it started to be a little red like ordinary blood. Sweat drenched the temples, neck and even body. Xue Zhan did not expect that surviving alone would be this difficult.
I don't know who ever said it, Xue Zhan remembered that someone had said it was clever but very careless. It seemed that the remark was evident, many times he fell into danger. But many times he also survived. Xue Zhan cursed inwardly, the next time he had to be more careful of the demons in this place if he did not want to end up the same. Enough of the snake's poison hood made him almost feel death the second time around.
Xue Zhan calmed down for a moment while thinking. The initial goal was to get to the hot river where Cicak Loreng was located. Along following the flow of this river he has not found any signs of a river that has a very hot temperature. It was just that the sea inside the cave and the Phoenix Bird flashed back and made him curious again.
Xue Zhan shook his head. He has to focus. If he had not mastered the three moves he would not have been able to meet the Old Monster.
"Huh ..."
His eyes looked back to the front, saw the gap where he entered earlier and found a secret hideout containing a coffin and many valuable items.
Reminded him of the little frog he had previously met. Surely having a pleasant spiritual animal, the little frog was very loyal to his master. Even after the man was gone, the frog was still trying to free him until he died with his master. A smile appeared on the young man's face. He was happy to be able to help the little frog. Apparently they were not as disgusting as he had imagined.
"I will rest for a while until morning, at least when the day is brighter and this demon is reduced."
There were some demons that only came out when night fell to look for prey, perhaps it was one of the ways Xue Zhan distinguished night and day in the Vine of Regret. He decided to go to sleep, resting his body that was beginning to fatigue from lack of sleep and lack of eating. Before that Xue Zhan was reminded of the item he had found earlier.
That smell felt familiar, Xue Zhan had once smelled it in Diqiu Empire. A type of power-enhancing drug that costs a lot and is usually only purchased by middle-up level warriors to help them go on a months-long mission without food, but not food, it is made of golden seaweed that has spiritual power. Xue Zhan had eaten it once.
With that pill, without any food Xue Zhan was able to survive for a week just by eating that one pill. He checked the others and counted a total of about twenty power-enhancing pills he had managed to obtain.
twenty healing pills and twenty strength-enhancing pills, the rest were herbs with varying properties. This way Xue Zhan could last up to five more months without needing to look for food. He began to find a bright spot. His hand clasped tightly onto the pill bottle, taking a deep breath.
The closer to his goal, the more his finger trembled. I can't wait to avenge the actions of those who have slandered him. He will prove his innocence and reveal everything that happened.
There was a desire to find out the true whereabouts of Kang Jian. He believes the news about the man is not true. Where could the man who upheld the honor commit suicide, however severe the case Kang Jian would rather be beheaded in front of everyone than run away like a coward. It was a principle of life that he upheld to death.
Xue Zhan had once thought about that. If Kang Jian was still alive, the illness within his body could be cured with Xiang Yi Bai's greatest skill, the Seven Healing God Method.
Although the Old Monster was very chatty if Xue Zhan begged him perhaps Kang Jian could be saved because the Seven Healing God Methods were able to heal wounds, defects, or illnesses to any degree, the proof was that Xue Zhan could survive even though the state of his shattered body was very unlikely to be restored to how it was. He could return intact, his life where it might have survived.
He clenched his hands while looking up at the top of the abyss. Time goes by so fast, half a year passes and he is fighting hard for it all. In his solitude Xue Zhan spoke hoping that the man who had saved his life twice heard him, "Wait for me, I will return to heal you."
Imagining his two Masters meeting each other and chatting with each other, Xue Zhan developed a happy smile until he finally fell asleep in a dream.

The dream was beautiful Zhan, the harsh reality of doang.
