Something's wrong with this demon.

Chapter 71 Medicine Man

"elder brother……"

The little girl was deathly pale and clung to Luo Qingchen's side, her face filled with terror.

Luo Qingchen turned around, looked at the two of them, and said, "She is my drug person."

"A drug user?"

Zhang Gan sneered, his face full of mockery.

"It seems Junior Brother Luo doesn't know the rules. Before registering in Medicine Man Town, she wasn't considered a Medicine Man, much less yours. So, we can take her away anytime."

Luo Chong, who was standing to the side, dropped the rabbit he was holding and said with a cold look in his eyes, "What, Junior Brother Luo, do you really want to fight us brothers for such a little girl?"

New disciples do indeed have a one-month protection period.

However, if a new disciple makes the first move, the opponent can ignore the protection period and retaliate.

That was clearly their plan.

"Junior Brother Luo, you now have two choices."

Zhang Gan's face was full of mockery.

"The first option is for you to stay tonight and have some fun with us brothers. Tomorrow morning you can leave with this little girl."

"The second option is to leave this little girl here, and you get out of here right now!"

Luo Chong raised his fist and said, "Of course, you also have a third option: fight us and have a friendly spar."

Zhang Gan turned his head and smiled, "Junior Brother Luo, which one do you think Junior Brother Luo will choose?"

Luo Chong grinned and said, "It seems Junior Brother Luo wants to choose the third one. Senior Brother Zhang, didn't you hear that? This little girl was calling him 'brother' affectionately."

"Brother? Tsk tsk..."

Zhang Gan said with a playful expression, "No wonder, no wonder."

The room suddenly fell silent.

Just as the air began to freeze and both sides stared intently at each other, seemingly preparing to fight, Luo Qingchen put away the dagger in her hand, glanced at the little girl beside her, and then turned and left.

He didn't say a word.

"elder brother……"

The little girl cried and reached out to grab his sleeve.

However, they didn't dare to make the arrest.

She wanted to chase after him, but she held back her tears.

Of course, she knew what the situation was.

If he hadn't abandoned her, he would have died too...

"Tsk tsk, still calling me 'brother'?"

Zhang Gan grabbed her hair and dragged her toward the cave ahead, grinning maliciously, "Your good brother has already run away with his tail between his legs, he doesn't have time to hear you call him brother anymore. But it doesn't matter, you can keep calling him when we're skinning you later, we'd love to hear it too."

After saying that, he burst into laughter.

Just as he was about to enter the cave, he suddenly became alert and stopped.

Luo Chong stood on the hillside until the figure had disappeared into the distance before turning around, preparing to follow into the cave. Seeing him stop at the cave entrance, he asked in confusion, "Senior Brother Zhang, what's wrong?"

Zhang Gan stared into the dark cave and said, "This cave is quite deep. Junior Brother Luo, why don't you go in and take a look?"

Luo Chong glanced into the cave and laughed, "Senior Brother Zhang, why don't you go in and take a look first? I'll hold this little girl."

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the little girl's hair.

Zhang Gan turned to look at him and said, "Shall we go in together?"

Luo Chong glanced at the cave again and said warily, "If there's an ambush or a trap inside, it'll be troublesome if we both fall in. Leaving one person outside means we can still rescue them."

"That's what I think too."

Zhang Gan nodded, hesitated for a moment, loosened the little girl's hair, and smiled, "Then Junior Brother Luo will guard outside; I'll go in and scout ahead."

Luo Chong said, "Okay, if anything happens, I'll rush in immediately. We've signed a brotherhood pact."

Zhang Gan smiled, and without further hesitation, took out his dagger and entered the cave.

When he reached the innermost part of the first cave, he immediately took out his tinderbox, then slowed down and carefully entered the innermost cave.

Outside the cave.

Luo Chong looked down at the little girl in his hands, and his nose twitched.

The little girl's face was covered in tears, her eyes were vacant, she didn't struggle or cry out, she was clearly in despair.

"It stinks!"

Luo Chong threw her to the ground and kicked her in disgust.

The little girl lay on the ground, her face covered in dirt, her clothes tattered, her exposed arms and legs covered in bloody scratches from stones and thorns, as well as mud. She looked filthy and smelled terrible.

Just then, Zhang Gan's delighted voice came from inside the cave: "Junior Brother Luo, it's safe inside! There's even a stove, an iron pot, firewood, and a bathtub ready inside—we can brew medicine right away!"

As he spoke, he stepped out and said impatiently, "Quickly take this little girl inside and skin her!"

Luo Chong covered his nose, looking disgusted, and said, "This little girl is covered in filth, stinks! She probably hasn't had a bath in months. We need to clean her up before we skin her."

Zhang Gan stared at the little girl from head to toe, sniffed her, and immediately looked disgusted: "She's really dirty. I was just wondering what smelled so bad! She needs to be washed, or she might ruin our medicinal herbs."

Then he added, "There's a wooden bucket and some water in the cave. I reckon there's a puddle nearby. I'll go in and start a fire while you fetch some water. First, wash her clean with hot water, then cool her down with cold water; that will make her skin firmer."

Luo Chong nodded, picked up the little girl from the ground, and walked into the cave.

The two entered the cave and looked around. They found that it was indeed a good place for medicinal bathing and cultivation.

"Senior Brother Zhang, I'm going to fetch water now. Keep an eye on this little girl."

Luo Chong picked up the bucket from the corner and left the cave.

While watching the little girl, Zhang Gan went to get firewood to start a fire under the stove.

The little girl lay motionless in the corner. Her previously blank gaze suddenly fell upon the black robe with a skull on it that had been left in the corner, and tears immediately streamed down her face again.

"elder brother……"

Her face was covered in tears, and she cried out in her heart.

Outside the cave, the sun was already high in the sky.

Luo Chong stood on the hillside with a bucket in his hand, looking around, but couldn't find a place to fetch water.

He had no choice but to walk down the hillside and into the woods ahead.

After walking a few steps, they discovered a puddle ahead.

The pit was filled with rainwater, which looked quite clear.

"So this is where it was!"

He immediately picked up the bucket and walked over, squatted down in front of the puddle, and pushed the entire bucket into the puddle, filling it to the brim with water.

"Whoosh!"

With a single arm, he easily scooped up the bucket full of water.

Just as he was about to stand up from the ground with the bucket of water, he suddenly felt a chill behind him!

His face changed drastically. Before he could stand up, he dropped the bucket and rolled away into the bushes on his left.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

No sooner had he rolled into the bushes than two crisp sounds rang out from within!

"ah--"

He screamed and jumped up from the bushes.

at the same time!

A fist, whistling through the air, slammed heavily into his chest the instant he jumped!

"Bang!"

Luo Chong was sent flying by the impact.

As he landed on the ground, his chest heaving and his vision blurring, the fist came crashing down again, this time striking him squarely in the throat.

"Click!"

The throat bone was fractured.

The shadow of death loomed over them in an instant!

Luo Chong opened his mouth in terror, trying to scream, but the next second, the fist smashed his head with a loud "boom".

His vision went black, and he died instantly.

Two enormous animal traps were still tightly gripping his buttocks and one foot.

His body was covered in iron nails.

That's why he was slow just now.

If you're too slow, you'll naturally die.

At the same level, life and death can be determined in a split second.

Luo Qingchen quickly drained his blood.

Inside his body, the blood in the second health bar suddenly increased from 420% to 520%!

After sucking the blood, he searched the corpse for its belongings.

After doing all this, he stood up and looked at the cave on the hillside outside.
