After that, he saw several times more flame beasts being swallowed up by the flames ejected by the red flame grass, and also saw the red flame grass being uprooted by the flame beasts. Gradually, he discovered a pattern. Within seven days after the volcano erupted, The red flame grass is very powerful and can destroy any person or beast who wants to harm it, but after seven days, it will be as weak as an ordinary grass.
However, the Red Flame Grass was of no use to him, so he never provoked it whether it was at its strongest or at its weakest.
"Thank you, senior, for your generous help!" Xia Yuanqiu said sincerely.
The old man waved his hand: "No need to say thank you, it's just a small effort. It's rare that I can see humans and eat such delicious roast chicken in my lifetime. I should thank you."
Xia Yuanqiu is a person who must repay kindness. She received the kindness from the old man for nothing. How can she feel complacent if she doesn't repay anything
"Senior, I am a doctor, why don't you let me check on your leg problem?" Xia Yuanqiu said.
The old man raised his eyebrows: "Oh? You are still a doctor? You are so young, and you are so skilled in cultivation, but you also know medical skills?"
Zhu Yan said: "Yuan Qiu's medical skills are very good. People give her the nickname Miracle Doctor. As long as she still has a breath left, she will not let it be swallowed."
Xia Yuanqiu glanced at Zhu Yan and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, it's such an exaggeration!" She turned to the old man and smiled: "Don't listen to his nonsense. He just studied medicine for a few years and is not a miracle doctor. !”
The old man smiled and said: "Whether it's a real miracle doctor or a fake miracle doctor, my leg can't be cured, so don't bother."
Xia Yuanqiu's favorite thing is to challenge the impossible. The old man said it couldn't be cured, but she didn't believe it: "You haven't tried it, how do you know it can't be cured?"
She squatted down and reached out to lift up the old man's trouser legs. The old man wanted to stop him, but then he thought, it couldn't be cured anyway, so let her go, it was just to let a junior see his ugly legs.
Just take a look, it’s nothing special.
Lifting up his trousers, Xia Yuanqiu's eyes widened. This was not a leg at all. It was clearly just a leg with a layer of skin covering the leg bones, which was only a little better than a skeleton.
Xia Yuanqiu pointed to his legs and asked, "How did your legs become like this?"
The old man smiled and said: "I was injured a little back then, and it never healed. It gradually became like this. Fortunately, I can still walk, but it hurts occasionally."
It must be painful. Even the flesh is gone, only skin and bones are left. I still have to support my body. Can it not hurt
This was the first time she had seen muscle atrophy like this. Even the paralyzed old man had never seen it shrink to this extent. This was so strange and wrong.
She carefully examined his legs, not missing an inch of skin, and sure enough she found something strange.
Behind his thin calf, she saw subtle movement under the skin. When she reached out to touch it, the movement immediately disappeared. When she didn't move, after a while, the subtle movement under the skin began to move again, as if Under that flesh, something weird was growing.
Without hesitation, Xia Yuanqiu immediately took out the dagger, quickly cut open the flesh, and used a silver needle to pick out the things that were moving under the skin.
It turned out to be a long-thin flesh worm. This kind of flesh worm is a type of parasite. It feeds exclusively on living flesh, eating away at the living flesh bit by bit until the flesh is gone and the bones are separated, causing pain to both humans and animals.
