Chapter 664 Venomous Giant Mosquitoes

his female secretary didn't seem to like her. She wanted to get rid of the other person, but considering it would affect the other person's work, she felt guilty, so she gave up and treated Linda as i...As darkness fell, they stood on the black, wet mud, holding their torches high and looking around nervously, afraid that another giant mosquito might swoop down.

Golden flames illuminated their anxious, wary faces. Tonight's planned rest had been completely disrupted by the giant mosquitoes.

These enormous black-and-mottled mosquitos, almost half a man's height, with their long, needle-like proboscis and swollen abdomens full of decaying blood. To swat one down sends its bloody sac bursting, showering the surroundings with gore – truly a horrifying sight.

Here, on the ground, were seven or eight giant mosquitoes that had been killed, their limbs scattered. They looked much like ordinary mosquitoes, except for their enormous size.

Lu Qinan glared at the patches of foul-smelling blood on the ground, feeling a little unsatisfied. He lifted his foot to kick the mosquito corpse again.

“Don’t touch those mosquitoes!” Junzhi Mu shouted urgently.

Lu Qinian immediately stopped his foot mid-air, staring at him in astonishment.

The crab turned its head and saw his injury at once, anxiously saying, "Jun Shao, your arm…" It was swollen red, and seemed to have some edema as well. It looked quite terrible.

"The giant mosquito has a layer of fine phosphorus powder on its body, don't touch them."

Junzhi Mu's voice remained calm, though his arms itched unbearably. His skin felt like it was burned, a scorching pain radiating through him.

"Don't grab, it might get worse."

"Jun Shao, why don't you take your shirt off first."

“I think we should stay away from these dead mosquitoes. We don't want the phosphorus dust floating in the air to get on our skin, that would be bad.”

The chieftain's shepherd was injured, and everyone became anxious and started to discuss what to do.

Everyone stayed 500 meters away from the spot, not daring to venture too far. The night was deep and quiet, with pitch blackness all around. It was impossible to see anything in the dark, and who knew what kind of eerie things might appear.

The shepherd, Junzhi, took off his tunic. At the time, he only accidentally brushed against the giant mosquito's leg with his wrist, getting some phosphorus powder on him. Now, his entire right arm was swollen and red, with blisters forming that looked like his skin was rotting away.

Itching and burning.

Jun's shepherd didn't cry out in pain or itch, he just furrowed his brow, but everyone knew he must have been hurting.

"...Try this herb." Qiao Bao'er was rummaging through the bushes by the light of her torch. She pulled up a few plants, crushed them with a stone, and then applied the mashed herbs to Jun Zhimu's swollen arm.

Before anyone could make out what kind of yellow-green herbal residue she held in her hand, Jun Zhi Mu's arm erupted in pain. The herbal stimulation caused intense burning sensations along his entire limb. Jun Zhi Mu winced, his hand trembling as he gasped for breath.

"What the heck is that!"

"Don't use Jun Shao as a guinea pig! Are you capable You've already messed up his hand!"

The crabs, they were fiercely loyal to Jun Zhi Mu. Even their lord felt pain so intense his hands trembled. It must have been excruciating.

Qiao Baoer was scolded by them, and her face also showed some guilt, "I, I just wanted to try..."

She remembered that Samba had once been hunting in the woods and gotten his arm injured, just like this open and bleeding wound. At the time, Samba had used these medicinal leaves to treat it.

Junzhi Mu himself did not show anger. He endured it, the searing pain on his arm, and fixed a stern expression, saying, "Each go about your own business."

The crabs mumbled and fell silent, picking up twigs and starting a fire. They took turns keeping watch throughout the night.

"Does it hurt" Qiao Bao'er knew Jun Zhi Mu wouldn't scold her, but she still couldn't help but lean closer and ask worriedly.

Jun's shepherd didn't say it hurt, nor did he say it didn't hurt. He only replied to her with two words, "It's fine."

Just bear it.

"Why don't we just take this herbal medicine away I'm not entirely sure myself..." What if the healer's arm gets worse, completely disfigured or disabled because of it She would be filled with guilt.

"It's not crippling, nothing serious." Jun Zhimu still had a grasp on how badly he was hurt.

For him, as long as it doesn't damage his bones or affect his future mobility, it's fine.

Looking at the woman beside him, Qiao Bao'er had tied her long hair up high in a bun, looking neat and tidy. She always carried a rattan basket on her back, her clothes were stained with dirt, and even her face had a streak of mud. She had suffered a lot here.

Every time Junzhi Mu saw her in such disarray, his heart would be moved. He was glad she wasn't the kind of fragile woman who would cry and complain about the harsh environment, because if she did, he would be helpless to give her anything better.

“If my arm gets ugly, you don't mind, do you” He suddenly said to her.

Jo Baoer was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding.

Does it matter if his arm, she doesn't mind

Junzhi's Mu liked to see her like this, lost in thought. His eyes crinkled at the corners as he smiled, reaching out with his other hand to wipe the mud smudge off her cheek. He chuckled softly, " ...I'm married now, do I still care about these superficial things As long as you don't mind."

Qiao Baoer's face flushed, and she replied, "Too ugly to look at."

"...so I try to make myself look better." Jun Zhi Mu tried his best to be humorous.

Qiao Ba'er was stunned, at a loss for words.

Lord Jun doesn't understand what romance and tenderness are. Even though they are together as husband and wife now, he wouldn't give her much care, unlike other men who would pamper their wives greatly. Marrying a man like him is really quite boring.

The crab and Lao Gui always cast worried glances their way, but they didn't dare approach.

After about three hours, Jun Zhi牧's right arm was covered with a layer of yellowish-green herbal residue. From the initial strong stimulation and intense burning pain, it gradually subsided, losing the previous strange itching sensation, the burning sensation also gradually receding, and the tingling pain was not as severe anymore. The skin on his arm felt somewhat cool.

"...You can be our pharmacist." Jun Zhim 牧 said with a non-committal praise.

Qiao Baoer heard him say that, finally feeling relieved. A smile bloomed on her face, which made Jun Zhimu watching beside her momentarily lost in thought.

It's been a long time since I've seen her this happy.

"... Sister-in-law, you said before that the anti-inflammatory leaf could help me reduce inflammation, right I don't want to have my leg amputated." On the other end, the injured man who had been bitten by a big carp, took this opportunity to flatter and shouted loudly.

"Okay."

< Qiao Bao'er worked very efficiently. She found several handfuls of the necessary grass leaves, pounded them with a stone, and then began to apply medicine in a cruel manner. She grabbed a handful of medicinal residue and slapped it onto the festering wounds on the injured man’s foot, causing groans of pain. >

Lu Qinan and Lao Gui all showed sympathetic eyes, but fortunately there was Qiao Bao'er. Although she was half-baked, in this environment, it was better to treat a dead horse as a living one.

From then on, they had no objections to the yellow and green herbs Qiao Baoer picked, and even went so far as to help her keep an eye out for more to collect and save.

Jo Bao'er even wanted to take the giant mosquito's broken limbs, "Wrap them in big leaves and be careful not to touch the phosphorescent powder of the giant mosquito... maybe it will come in handy sometime."

Qiao Bao'er insisted on tinkering with the dangerous giant mosquito corpse, "Samba taught me that this is called making full use of things, there will always be a time when it comes in handy."

Junzhi Mu ultimately did not object.

In the long night, they only spent half a day in this eerie place and already encountered such strange creatures. Who knows what else might be out there afterwards.

Lu Qinnan sighed, "If only I had stayed on the island."

I wonder how things are going on Wild Man Island now, has the disease been controlleds arrived, favoring them again! This wicked demoness Qiao Bao'er is going to ascend to heaven!Lu Qinan, taking advantage of the fact that there were only two people in the car now, was about to have i...
