Chapter 637: Chapter 306: The Missing Red"No worries, no worries!"
"Itâs just an escape curse, Iâm very familiar with it! I even helped Xin Fat Man use it once before!"
"You guys did a great job with this trap!"
"I feel that even if a demon with strength level 10 steps on it, it would have to lose a layer of skin..."
Zheng Qing wobbly stood up and waved his hands, indicating that he was fine. At the same time, he slyly complimented himself.
However, his fingers were swollen like radishes and were protesting against their ownerâs stubbornness in a very conspicuous way, laughing at his tough act.
"I still have some snake oil left, you can use it." Elena chuckled lightly and didnât deny Zheng Qingâs words. She pointed at his fingers while taking out a small jar of turquoise ointment from her bosom.
This is snake oil, also commonly referred to by wizards as the âuniversal cureâ â which means it canât cure anything specifically but it can somewhat alleviate any injury or illness. When wizards conduct experiments, itâs not unusual to encounter all kinds of weird symptoms, possibly caused by a curse or a plague. If youâre not sure what to use for treatment, you can never go wrong with a little bit of snake oil ointment.
Anyway, it wonât make the situation worse.
With a sheepish smile, Zheng Qing took the small jar from the witchâs hands. He then hurriedly applied it to his palms, the back of his hands and all ten of his swollen fingers, as if he was wearing a pair of turquoise silk gloves.
A cool feeling started to seep through his skin. The intense pain in his hand immediately subsided, giving Zheng Qing a much-needed relief.
"Whatâs the deal with it?" Elena carefully glanced at the black tiger and asked in a low voice while inconspicuously touching a talisman in her hand.
It was a lie-detection talisman.
The question she asked was one of the things that Caron Hunting Team was most concerned about.
"Um, Iâm not sure either." Zheng Qing looked at the tiger demon beside him with some distress. He wanted to scratch his head but quickly remembered the injuries on his hand. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "... Itâs a very strange tiger demon. It doesnât eat wizards but killed a bunch of demons. Did you see the monkey head under its claw? It was killed by it...Even after it died, the demon wasnât going to rest in peace, as the tiger demon played with its head as if it were a ball."
Elena blinked a few times, slightly at a loss for words.
Both the peculiar tiger demon and Zheng Qingâs answer were somewhat unexpected compared to what the hunting team had previously discussed. Although she didnât believe that Zheng Qing could join the demons, no matter what, his explanation seemed a bit too casual.
However, the lie-detection talisman didnât respond to Zheng Qingâs answer, which meant that he was telling the truth.
This was a bit vexing.
So, she paused for a moment and changed the subject.
"Why are you alone?" The witch asked lightly, "Where are the others?"
"Thatâs what I wanted to ask," Zheng Qing grinned, "What about Matthew and the others? I remember theyâre in the same hunting team as you, right?"
"Theyâre still patrolling the area." Elena vaguely replied, "Because a tiger demon suddenly appeared, everyone was a bit worried about the safety of the camp, so they left to patrol."
The black tiger lying beside them, as if hearing a laughable joke, snorted derisively, opened its big mouth, and gave a huge yawn, revealing a mouthful of sharp, huge fangs.
"Hmm... thatâs indeed a cautious move." Seeing the expression on Elenaâs face, Zheng Qing seemed to understand their concerns. He nodded and said, "I got separated from our hunting team... more accurately, I intentionally avoided Absolutionâs people. I just didnât expect to run into you."
When he reached this point, he couldnât help but complain about his divination skills: "If I knew my divination was so terrible, I wouldnât have followed the divination results... Following my gut instincts seems more reliable."
His words were a bit disjointed, and the Gypsy witch was slightly confused by what he was saying.
"You purposely avoided your teammates? Why?" Elena asked in surprise. At the same time, she pointed at Zheng Qingâs left eye and deliberately questioned, "What about your left eye? I remember it was bloodshot before. Is it healed now?"
"My left eye?" Zheng Qing blinked, looking puzzled. "I had a bloodshot right eye... This should be quite clear."
Saying this, he glanced around, looking as if he was
Without waiting for the witch to ask, he quickly described his encounter after Absolution Hunting Team entered the arena, emphasizing his suspicionâeither he had a demonâs bloodline, or his flesh was some special âMonk Tangâs Fleshâ for the demonsâonly by staying away from him, would Absolution Hunting Team be safer.
"You mean, because of this possibility, thatâs why those demons were chasing you desperately, and this Tiger Demon didnât eat you?" After hearing Zheng Qingâs explanation, Elena started speaking slowly, summarizing.
Having said that, she carefully looked at the Tiger Demon.
Now the witch knew that this Tiger Demon could fight a large group of demons of strength five to ten, so she was fully alert and careful, fearing a swipe from the Tiger Demon could flatten them into pancakes.
The Tiger Demon seemed oblivious to the two young wizards discussing next to him, and it continued to play with the monkey head under its clawsâit seemed to be trying to shape the monkey head into a smoother shape.
"Itâs the most probable theory." Zheng Qing nodded.
"Although itâs just your speculation," the witch didnât reject his idea directly, instead, she stated affirmatively, "But I can tell you for certain, you donât have the bloodline of a demonâthe Gypsy witches have some special techniques. Iâm very sure about this."
She touched the lie-detecting talisman in her palm and finally felt reassured.
