"Cao Zhui is already dying. When we left this place, he barely holds on." The man left this place when he received message that Chen Yuan appointed another person as the Master. This also meant that he had lost his previous duties and had to return as soon as possible.
"Nan Xin is still hanging on, but she might not be able to last long."
Nan Hua nodded.
She walked deeper. The light dimmed even more as there was barely any lantern left, but the darkness was not exactly a problem for Nan Hua. She easily went through a few turns before she finally noticed the last two rooms.
The two rooms were made crudely and their door was also nothing more than a large stone that was used to block it. This would make it look as if the caves had simply fell in and trapped them inside.
Truly, a good disguise.
Nan Hua was not here to bother with this matter, though.
She looked at one of them and saw a corpse of a man curling up at the corner. From the way it looked like, he had died not long ago. Presumably within a few hours until a day's time.
"Bring his body to Zhang Family and burn it there."
"Yes, Master."
The blood poison was made by making these people ingested poisonous plant for a long period of time until their own blood alone contained enough poison to be made into poison. But at the same time, the poison would have destroyed their organs from inside little by little.
Some people had higher poison resistance and could withstand it for a much longer time.
But some others couldn't withstand the huge intake of poison and ended up dying very quickly.
Thunk!
The sound of the rock rolling to the side could be heard.
Nan Hua entered the dark cave and could see Nan Xin curling up at the side. By this time, she had long lost her previous appearance. She was so thin, with barely any strength left inside her body. Her clothes were dirty, but there was nothing else that she could use to cover herself either.
She simply curled up there, dozing off.
When the rock moved to the side, Nan Xin's body trembled instinctively. She couldn't see who was coming and her chapped lips opened before closing again. Her eyes were filled with fear and despair.
"No… more…."
Her voice was hoarse.
She had long lost her health and beauty. By now, she was nothing more than a pile of bones.
Nan Xin was already on the verge of death.
Nan Hua crouched down beside Nan Xin and took her pulse. The result was terrifyingly bad. It has been a long time since Nan Xin was exposed to poison and it had long accumulated inside her body. Many of her organs were already failing and some didn't even function properly.
It was a miracle for her to be able to stay alive until now.
With her medical capabilities, Nan Hua knew very well that she was incapable of saving Nan Xin. She could at most prolong Nan Xin's life for a few more days. And that was with her having to be careful of the possibility medicine clashing within Nan Xin's body.
The one who usually came was a man. freewēbnoveℓ.com
