Silver jumped into the cave, but suddenly he hesitated, not daring to approach her.
Is she... alright, or not?
After only a moment’s hesitation, he rushed towards the girl.
There was a wound the size of a bowl on her head, and he felt as if the blood in his own body was freezing over; even he didn’t realize that he was trembling at this moment.
Slowly, shakily, he reached out his hand to check her breath and finally sighed in relief.
Lifting her by the waist, he carried her out of the cave and used his sleeve to wipe away the blood flowing from her wound, but the more he wiped, the more blood there seemed to be.
And the color of the blood was bizarre—it was purple-black!
The volume of this purple-black blood was small, but it peculiarly emitted a sweet fragrance similar to berries.
He paused momentarily, then pulled off his waist pouch, which was originally a money bag. But ever since he came to the mountains, ever since he witnessed the girl’s frenzy, he emptied the small silver pieces from it and filled the bag with various medicines for treating internal and external injuries, just in case.
And every time, as long as she took the King Gu insect when she was weak, these medicines would come in handy.
Only this time, her injuries were more severe than ever before.
Her small fists were a muddled mess of flesh and blood, her own lips bitten to shreds, with a large gash also opened on her forehead. He first addressed her external injuries.
These medicines were originally made by her; they worked wonders and were effective quickly, truly deserving of the name Divine Medicine.
After application, in just a short while, her wounds began to heal, scab over, and when the scabs fell off, new, tender flesh had already begun to grow in their place.
But she remained unconscious, why was that?
Silver furrowed his brows and thought for a moment, then took out a Calming Pill.
He speculated that her unconsciousness was likely related to the Devouring God Gu, and the Calming Pill was specifically formulated by her against the Devouring God Gu, mainly to provide stabilization.
He often saw her consume this, and once he had asked, isn’t it a problem for her to eat so many of these small pills? She replied that the Calming Pill could soothe the Devouring God Gu inside her body and that it wouldn’t matter even if she ate too many, at most it would cause her to sleep a while.
He tried to pry open her mouth, but her jaws were clamped too tightly shut, her teeth closely interlocked.
Pinching the soft flesh of her cheeks, he finally managed to pry her mouth open a bit and stuffed the Calming Pill into it, but she could not swallow on her own while unconscious.
He grabbed the water bag, took a sip, then aligned his mouth with hers and used the tip of his tongue to push the pill in.
As the water flowed down her throat, she swallowed instinctively, and the Calming Pill rolled down her gullet.
Only then did he feel his heart settle somewhat.
When he stood up again, he noticed some bloodstains on the corner of his lips, traces from her lips. Her lips were soft, but they had been bitten raw during her earlier frenzy, the blood vivid and red with a sweet fragrance.
He unconsciously caressed his own lips, pursing them slightly, as if reminiscing the sensation just now.
However, unintentionally, the blood that had stained his lips swept into his mouth.
It was indeed very sweet, many times sweeter than any cake or sugar he had ever tasted, like honey water.
This was not an exaggeration but the truth!
With a buzz, his brain emptied in an instant. Before Silver could react, he suddenly clutched his head in agony. It was as if his mind was in turmoil, and along with it, the veins on his forehead, neck, and back of his hands all bulged out...
