C54 (2/2)

Before Ye Yuming could even clean himself from the water, a faint sound came from the trees in the distance. Following the sound, a piece of the plant fell down.

That did not seem like the sound of animals walking, so Ye Yuming and Tang Xiaotang had already guessed the identity of the person at the same time.

He didn't expect that the pursuers would come so quickly. It seemed like he must die here today!

Without caring about the wound, Ye Yuming hurriedly entered the bushes at the side, and slowly advanced along the dense forest covered with thorns.

Through the gaps between the clumps of green leaves, a black silhouette approached from afar. Sure enough, it was the black-clothed assassins from last night.

They quickly cut down the surrounding shrubs and searched for something, but it was clear to see that they did not find anything.

Ye Yuming crawled along the pathway between the trees without making a sound. Suddenly, his legs relaxed, as if he stepped on some kind of trap, and his entire body dropped down.

When the man in black heard the noise and checked here, there was nothing left on the ground. They looked around at each other and could only assume that it was the sound of an animal.

Ye Yuming slid down the tunnel. This tunnel was not as long as it seemed, and was very narrow as well. He tried to cover the mask on his chest with one hand and prevent himself from falling, but the walls of the tunnel were extremely smooth and the flexible sword could not pierce through it.

He was not afraid, but he did not know what kind of environment was down there. He did not know if it was dangerous or not, but he did not like the feeling of being unsure.

While he was still thinking, the tunnel had come to its end. It seemed to have landed on a pile of soft stuff, and it didn't hurt at all.

Taking out the mask, Ye Yuming looked up. He seemed to be inside a huge tree, with faint light shining in from above, it was unknown how high it was, he could only see countless leaves on the tree top.

With the help of the sunlight, he saw countless vines piled up on the ground. The space was very big, but there was nothing on the surrounding trees. It was a bit strange.

There seemed to be a human figure in front of him, Ye Yuming probed, ”Junior has disturbed you greatly, senior, please forgive me!”

The figure did not speak.

”Senior …?” Ye Yuming said as he walked over. Only when he was near, did he see that it was indeed a person.

But, this person … He had already become a corpse … No, to be more accurate, it should be a mummy.

”Your luck is really good!” Tang Xiaotang suddenly opened her mouth, because she suddenly remembered, wasn't this the tomb of the former Heavenly Doctor that Feng Luanqing had found by chance? Feng Luanqing obtained a lot of treasures here, including the many recipes that Doctor Tian had collected, her experience in medicine, the precious herbs that he had collected throughout her life, as well as the many pills that she had refined.

It seemed like his remaining luck could still be used, this time the poison in his body could be cured, because the Heavenly Doctor's collection had a pill that could cure all the poisons.

It was just that she did not know where the pill was and what it looked like …

”Look for it, there must be a pill that can cure the poison.” She told Ye Yuming.

One man and one ghost was rummaging around, and sure enough, there were many bottles of antidote under the vines. Since they weren't sure which one was the real antidote, Ye Yuming ate one of each bottle.

As for those precious pill formulas, they were finally discovered on the walls of the trees. It turned out that the Heavenly Doctor had carved those pill formulas into the hollow trees.

Not long after, Ye Yuming felt his Qi recovering bit by bit. After a bit of luck, he discovered that the Qi in his dantian seemed to be even thicker than before. Maybe the pill he ate earlier had pills that could increase his Qi.
