Chapter 251 Poisoned
Who is this person? Why did he pay to repair Yi Zhonghai's house?
The biting cold wind scraped across his cheeks like a knife, making Chu Tian's nose itch. He exhaled a breath of white air, which quickly dissipated in the gray air. The setting sun in late winter was like a red-hot iron, hanging powerlessly on the horizon, casting the last ray of residual light on this silent snowfield.
Chu Tian wrapped himself tightly in his rough fur coat and trudged through the snow. He had been trekking for three days without any results. His stomach growled with hunger, as if a wild animal was scratching inside. He touched the well-polished hunting knife at his waist, feeling anxious. If he continued like this, not only would he not catch any prey, but he himself would also die in this icy and snowy land.
"Damn rabbits, where are they hiding?" Chu Tian cursed in a low voice, scanning the surroundings with sharp eyes. He was very familiar with this snowy field. He knew where the rabbit nests were and where the pheasants were. But today, these cunning guys seemed to have disappeared collectively, without even a shadow.
In the distance, several crows circled on the bare treetops, making creepy cries. Chu Tian's heart shuddered, and an ominous premonition came over him. Apart from him, few people had set foot on this snowy plain. The appearance of crows usually meant...
He held the hunting knife tightly and walked cautiously in the direction of the crow. After pushing aside the snow pile as high as a person, a strong smell of blood hit his nose. Chu Tian's heart sank and he quickened his pace.
After walking around the snowdrifts, the sight before him made him gasp. A hunter wearing the same animal skin coat was lying in a pool of blood, with a feather arrow stuck in his chest, his face as pale as paper, and he was barely breathing.
Chu Tian hurried forward to check. The hunter's chest was rising and falling weakly, and the skin around the arrow wound had begun to turn black, obviously poisoned.
"Save...save me..." The hunter uttered a few words with difficulty, his eyes full of despair.
Chu Tian was extremely anxious. Although he knew some simple bandages to stop bleeding, he was helpless against this kind of poisoned arrow wound.
At this moment, a cold mechanical voice suddenly rang in his mind: "Ding! The host is detected to be in an emergency condition, the system is activated! Reward God-level medical skills!"
Chu Tian was stunned. System? Divine medical skills? What the hell was this? He shook his head vigorously, thinking he was hallucinating.
"Do you want to accept the reward?" The mechanical voice sounded again.
Chu Tian hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Accept it!"
Instantly, a huge amount of information flooded into his mind, all kinds of medical knowledge, pharmacology knowledge, surgical techniques, etc., flooding him like a tide. He felt that his brain was about to explode, but he also felt an unprecedented sense of fulfillment.
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the god-level medical skills! Current level: entry level."
Chu Tian took a deep breath, endured the pain in his brain, and began to check the hunter's injuries. With the divine medical skills he had just acquired, he could tell at a glance that the hunter was poisoned by a highly toxic substance called "Black Blood Vine". If it was not treated in time, the hunter would surely die within an hour.
"The poison of the black blood vine requires the use of snow lotus, ice toad, thousand-year-old ginseng and other medicinal materials to prepare detoxification pills, which can be taken orally and applied externally before recovery." Chu Tian muttered to himself, but he smiled bitterly in his heart. In the depths of winter, where can I find these rare medicinal materials?
"System, is there any way to quickly obtain these medicinal herbs?" Chu Tian asked with the mentality of giving it a try.
"Ding! The host's needs are detected, and the medicinal material exchange function is activated! The host can use points to exchange for the required medicinal materials."
"Points? Where do I get points?" Chu Tian asked puzzled.
"Complete system tasks to earn points. Current task: Rescue injured hunters, 1000 points reward."
Chu Tian was delighted. 1000 points should be enough to redeem the required medicinal materials. He immediately opened the system mall and searched for the required medicinal materials.
Snow Lotus: 500 points/plant
Ice Toad: 300 points/toad
Millennium Ginseng: 200 points/root
Fortunately, the points were just enough. Chu Tian exchanged the required herbs without hesitation.
The next moment, three rare medicinal herbs with a faint medicinal fragrance appeared in his hands. Chu Tian was very excited and quickly crushed the herbs according to the prescription in his mind, mixed them together, and made detoxification pills and external ointments.
He carefully fed the hunter the antidote pill and then applied the ointment around the arrow wound.
After doing all this, Chu Tian was already sweating profusely. He sat aside, quietly waiting for a miracle to happen.
As time passed, the hunter's breathing gradually became steady, and his face gradually regained its color.
"I... I feel much better..." the hunter said weakly, his eyes full of gratitude.
Chu Tian breathed a sigh of relief and a pleased smile appeared on his face.
At this moment, a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds came from afar...
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and finally stopped in front of Chu Tian. The man was wearing a black suit, with a long sword on his waist, and his face was expressionless. It was obvious that he was not a good person.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" the man in black asked in a cold tone, glancing sharply at Chu Tian and the injured hunter.
Chu Tian's heart tightened and he clenched his hunting knife. He didn't know where these people came from, but judging from their aura, they were definitely not ordinary people.
"I'm just an ordinary hunter. I passed by here and found this hunter injured, so I helped him." Chu Tian tried his best to stay calm and answered in a calm tone.
The man in black obviously didn't believe it and snorted coldly: "An ordinary hunter? Humph! I see you are sneaking around, and you look like you are here to kill people and rob them!"
Chu Tian cursed in his heart, what kind of thing is this? I’m considered a bad guy for saving people!
"Brother, I'm really just passing by..." Chu Tian wanted to explain but was rudely interrupted by the man in black.
"Stop talking nonsense! Come with us!" The man in black drew out a long knife, pointed at Chu Tian, and said in an unquestionable tone.
Chu Tian was annoyed. Damn it. I failed to save someone and got arrested instead. Is this fair? He looked at the injured hunter, then at the fierce man in black, and weighed the pros and cons. Fighting them head-on would not work. These people were well-trained killers. He alone was no match for them. Of the thirty-six strategies, running away was the best!
Thinking of this, Chu Tian's eyes turned and a plan came to his mind. He pretended to be scared and said tremblingly: "Good...good man, spare my life! I...I will go with you..."
As he spoke, he slowly put down his hunting knife and raised his hands in a gesture of surrender. Seeing this, the man in black relaxed his guard a little.
At this moment, Chu Tian suddenly jumped up and kicked the black-clothed man closest to him in the crotch.
“Ah!” The man in black screamed, fell to the ground, covering his crotch, and rolled over in pain.
Chu Tian took the opportunity to snatch his long sword and slashed at the other man in black with his backhand.
