Chapter 370 Giant Centipede
"Save me..." she said in a weak voice. Chu Tian was shocked, and he realized that this woman might not be an ordinary person.
"Save me..." The woman's voice was as weak as a mosquito's hum, and she was dying.
Chu Tian's heart skipped a beat. How could there be an injured woman in this ancient tomb? Moreover, the woman's dress did not look like that of a modern person.
He reached out and felt the woman's breath, and found it was still faint.
"Hold on!" Chu Tian tore off a corner of his shirt and wanted to bandage the woman's wound.
But when he touched the wound on the woman's neck, he was stunned.
The wound... was new, but the edges were unusually smooth, as if it had been cut open by some sharp weapon, not artificially. Even more bizarre was that the wound did not bleed as expected, but instead seemed to be blocked by something, with only a trace of blood seeping out.
This is so unusual.
Countless thoughts flashed through Chu Tian's mind. Who is this woman? How did she appear in this ancient tomb? What's the matter with this strange wound?
At this moment, a rustling sound suddenly came from the tomb.
Chu Tian turned around suddenly and saw a huge centipede appearing at the entrance of the tomb!
This centipede was bigger than any other centipede he had ever seen. It was more than one meter long, pitch black with a metallic luster, and its hundreds of legs moved quickly, making a creepy "rustling" sound.
It was crawling towards the direction where Chu Tian and the woman were!
Chu Tian was shocked and immediately protected the woman behind him, drew out his dagger, and prepared for battle.
It is obvious that this centipede is not an ordinary creature. It may be related to the woman’s injury.
"Hiss..." The giant centipede made a sharp hissing sound, as if warning Chu Tian.
Chu Tian didn't dare to act rashly. He stared at the centipede closely, looking for its weakness.
The centipede was very fast and arrived in front of Chu Tian in the blink of an eye. It raised its head high, showing its sharp mouthparts, and pounced towards Chu Tian.
Chu Tian dodged the centipede's attack by moving sideways, then swung the dagger and stabbed at the centipede's head.
"Ding!" The dagger pierced the centipede's head, making a sound of metal clashing.
Chu Tian's heart sank; this centipede's shell was so hard!
The centipede seemed to be enraged. It twisted its body wildly, and hundreds of its legs worked together to launch a more violent attack on Chu Tian.
Chu Tian dodged left and right, barely avoiding the centipede's attack, but he knew that this was not a solution. His physical strength was limited, and he would be exhausted to death by the centipede sooner or later.
At this moment, the woman behind him suddenly let out a painful groan.
Chu Tian looked back and saw that a large amount of black liquid began to flow out of the woman's wound!
These liquids emit a pungent fishy smell, like some kind of poison.
"Damn it!" Chu Tian cursed inwardly.
He realized that the injuries on the woman's body were most likely caused by the centipede.
He must get rid of this centipede as soon as possible!
Chu Tian took a deep breath, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
He no longer dodged, but took the initiative to face the centipede's attack.
He blocked the centipede's mouthparts with a dagger, and then kicked the centipede in the abdomen.
The centipede was kicked back a few steps, but quickly got up again.
Chu Tian took advantage of this opportunity and stabbed the dagger into the centipede's abdomen.
"Hiss..." The centipede let out a shrill scream, its body twisted violently, and black liquid gushed out from the wound.
Chu Tian did not let go. He held the dagger tightly to prevent the centipede from breaking free.
Finally, the centipede stopped struggling and its body slowly stiffened.
Chu Tian pulled out the dagger, looked at the huge centipede corpse on the ground, and let out a long sigh of relief.
He turned around and looked at the woman behind him.
The woman's face became paler and her breathing became weaker.
Chu Tian quickly picked up the woman and left the tomb.
He must find a safe place as soon as possible to help the woman heal her wounds.
After leaving the ancient tomb, Chu Tian ran all the way and finally returned to the village.
He found a village doctor and handed the woman over to him for treatment.
After examining the woman's injuries, the doctor looked serious.
"This wound is very strange, as if it was caused by some kind of poisonous insect." The doctor said, "I need some special herbs to treat it."
Chu Tian agreed immediately. He asked the doctor to prescribe medicine and then went to the mountain to collect herbs himself.
While collecting herbs, Chu Tian accidentally discovered a strange herb.
This herb exudes a faint golden light all over, which looks very magical.
Chu Tian's heart moved, he felt that this herb might be able to heal the woman's injuries.
He took the herbs back to the village and gave them to the doctor.
The doctor carefully identified it and said in surprise: "This is golden thread grass! It is said to be a magical medicine that can cure all kinds of poisons! I didn't expect there would be such a precious medicinal material here!"
The doctor used golden thread grass and other herbs to prepare a special ointment and applied it to the woman's wound.
The miracle happened!
The woman's wounds were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the black liquid gradually disappeared.
The woman's breathing became steady and her complexion gradually regained its rosy color.
Chu Tian finally let go of his worries.
He looked at the woman lying on the bed, his heart full of doubts.
Who is this woman? How did she appear in the ancient tomb?
Moreover, she seems to be hiding many secrets...
The woman slowly opened her eyes, her eyes were confused, and then gradually focused on Chu Tian's anxious face. "Where...where am I?" Her voice was weak, like a thin thread.
Chu Tian was relieved when he saw her wake up. He said softly, "You are awake! You are in the village clinic now. You were poisoned by the centipede and have been in a coma for several days."
The woman struggled to sit up, and Chu Tian quickly supported her and put a pillow behind her. "Don't move, your wound is not fully healed yet."
The woman nodded slightly, her eyes falling on her bandaged arm. "That centipede..."
"I have killed him." Chu Tian comforted him, "You don't have to worry."
After a moment of silence, the woman said, "Thank you for saving me."
"It's just a piece of cake." Chu Tian smiled, "What's your name?"
The woman hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "My name is...Su Yue."
"Su Yue..." Chu Tian repeated the name, feeling that the name was just like her, cold and mysterious.
"What about you?" Su Yue asked.
"My name is Chu Tian."
There was another silence, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. Su Yue didn't seem to be good at talking to people, so Chu Tian had to take the initiative to find a topic: "Su Yue, why are you in that ancient tomb?"
Su Yue's eyes flickered, as if she was recalling something, but also as if she was avoiding it. "I... I don't remember."
Chu Tian looked at her evasive gaze, and became even more confused. He didn't believe that Su Yue really lost her memory, but he didn't want to force her, so he had to change the subject: "Do you remember other things? For example, where is your home?"
