The Magician's Female Apothecary

Chapter 42 Familiar and Unfamiliar

Ignoring Yao Wang's screams behind her, as embarrassed as being chased by a dog, Murong Ying looked at the calm lake and fell into deep thought, it seemed that she had to go down for a while.

Looking at Xiaotu who was still sleeping in her arms, Murong Ying condensed the spiritual power in her body, and slowly wrapped around her body, forming a thin transparent spiritual layer. In this way, she didn't have to worry about Xiaotu being caught by the water.

Yao Wang was trying his best to get rid of the monster's pursuit, when he came back to his senses, he heard a "plop" and saw a figure jumping into the lake from a distance.

"Aoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo......" the monster went berserk and patted its muscular chest with its hands, as if about to rush forward.

"Help!" Yao Wang ran forward with all his strength, and he didn't have time to take care of the child right now. Wasn't she asking for her own death by jumping like that?The lake was tainted with poisonous gas at first glance, if this continues, how can there be any way out?
As soon as Murong Ying jumped into the water, she was made a little uncomfortable by the pungent smell. She held her breath and slowly swam to the bottom of the lake. The water temperature became higher the further downstream, and she could clearly feel the scorching breath burning herself. skin, but his body itself is full of fire elements, and that breath can withstand being blown head-on like this.

"A strange stone..." Looking at the stone at the bottom of the lake exuding a dark atmosphere, Murong Ying stopped.

It was a black stone the size of a palm. The body of the stone was round and smooth, and there was a faint glimmer of light. There were many dead things lying around the stone, and the corpses of fish and turtles were everywhere.

"Could it be that the plague is emitted by this stone?" Murong Ying's eyes were full of doubts, and she couldn't figure it out in her heart. Isn't it just a stone that has such a great ability?But there was nothing suspicious about the bottom of the lake either.

"Sister, that's a magic stone..." Xiaotu woke up at some point, staring at the dark stone in front of him with blinking eyes.

"Magic Stone?" Murong Ying was even more puzzled. It sounded like something from the Demon Realm. Could it be that someone from the Demon Realm made it up?But obviously that demon king is still helping him, isn't that contradictory? "Take it back to have a look first..." As he said, he planned to go forward and pick up the stone.

"Sister, don't..." Xiaotu didn't have time to stop her, seeing that she was already approaching the stone.

"Wow! It's scalding..." As soon as Murong Ying touched the stone, she felt a heart-wrenching pain. It was not like the scorching heat emitted by the fire spirit bead. The pain was like a numbness that went straight to the heart Numb pain.

"Sister, I'm here..." Xiaotu flew out of her arms, surrounded by a layer of spiritual power, and flew towards the magic stone with wings flashing.

Murong Ying looked at that little figure, her eyes almost burst into laughter, "It's so cute!"

At this time, Xiaotu's face was flushed, as if he was holding his breath, and his round body began to circle around the magic stone.

"Huh..." As if he had accumulated some strength, Xiaotu began to blow violently at the stone.

The magic stone that was still exuding magic power slowly changed, and the color of the stone gradually changed from black to white, and even the fish and turtles that had already cocked their braids came back to life.

"This is amazing, isn't it? Bringing the dead back to life?" Murong Ying stared at those little fish jumping around with wide eyes, it seemed that she really found a treasure this time.

"Sister, I have removed the magic power of the magic stone, as long as people who are affected by this plague will gradually recover..." Xiaotu said in a softer voice, and then flew directly into her arms and fell into a deep sleep.

This is almost becoming sleepy, Murong Ying has a little helplessness, picks up the stone that has long been useless, and starts to swim upstream.

"The air above is better!" Sure enough, as Xiaotu said, the breath here began to change slowly, without the oppressive feeling before, and now there is a refreshing feeling.

"See if you still dare to chase me..." Yao Wang cursed in the distance, followed by a ping-pong-pong sound.

Could it be that the plague has been lifted and that monster has returned to its original form?Murong Ying thought to herself, and walked along the source of the sound.

Bypassing a pile of rocks, one could see Yao Wang seeming to be kicking something from a distance, still muttering in his mouth.

"Stop, what are you doing?" Murong Ying was stunned for a moment, looking at the blood dripping on the ground, this medicine king must be too ruthless, the monster was just affected by the magic power It is only because of the influence of it, and it is not intentional. As for kicking it into a cripple?

"It's just this phantom beast. It's also strange. It turned back to its original shape just now. It's a boa constrictor. It was almost bitten just now..." Seeing her appear, Yao Wang was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted. This child has found the source of the disease.

It was a pure white boa constrictor. It might have been affected by the magic power before, but it had no power to fight back at this time. The snake's tail drooped to the side, twitching from time to time, and the mouth kept foaming. At first glance, I thought it was a snake. poisoned.

"Help me..." Seeing someone coming, the white snake shook its head, as if it vaguely saw a beam of light, and then a child appeared in front of it.

Or a talking snake?Murong Ying immediately thought of the one that was killed in the valley before, but there was a soft light in the eyes of the white snake in front of her, which made people feel a bit of an illusion, that feeling, is it the kindness of a mother?
"Child, don't pay attention to it. It's just a low-level phantom beast. It probably got sick from drinking the lake water here. Let's go..." Seeing that she hadn't moved for a long time, Yao Wang couldn't bear it any longer.

Murong Ying didn't speak, as if attracted by the gaze of the snake, she walked forward slowly, when her hand touched the cold touch, she was taken aback, "Could it be..."

White Snake nodded, knowing that time was running out, "I have been deeply poisoned, and there is no way to recover. I know that you have lifted the plague brought by that magic power. Now I just hope... hope that my child is okay."

This is maternal love?Murong Ying felt her heart hit hard. She was an orphan since she was a child, and she didn't know what family affection is at all. The feeling at such a close distance today is both familiar and strange.

"Please, help me take good care of my child..." As soon as I saw this child, I knew that she would be extraordinary in the future. If the child could follow her, maybe he would be well protected. The white snake gritted its teeth and curled its tail fiercely He picked up a knife and stabbed directly in his stomach.

Murong Ying couldn't figure out where the knife came from, she only knew that her eyes were bright red at this moment, and the scalding blood seemed to be stained on her face, her body froze immediately, she stared blankly at the scene in front of her.

"My child, I will take care of you from now on..."
