Volume 4: The Game of the Gods Chapter 49: Heart as Solid as Stone, Will as Strong as Gold

It was this hesitation that allowed Wu Su to seize the opportunity. Wu Su's hair stood on end at this time. He carefully pulled Ying Lili over and slowly landed on the ground. With both hands moving, countless pure spiritual powers were injected into Ying Lili's brow. Yan Zheng had also come close at this time. He stretched out his hand hurriedly, using the spiritual energy in his palm to control the broken wound to stop the bleeding for Ying Lili, and shouted to the stunned Sha Mo army: "Witch doctor! Send the witch doctor!"
Just as Long Yu was about to step forward, he was rudely pushed away by Wu Su. Perhaps it was because the arrow that broke the sky came from Yonghui City, which made Long Yu feel a little deflated. This time, for the first time ever, he did not engage in a quarrel with Wu Su, because what he was more concerned about at this moment was the injury of Ping Lili.
At this time, Ping Lili's face had almost lost all the blood color, but fortunately, because of Yan Zheng's exclamation, she moved her body slightly at the critical moment, and the sky-breaking arrow slightly deviated from its original destination, avoiding the heart and inserted under the left shoulder!
The arrow almost penetrated into the left shoulder of Ying Lili. Looking at the bloody and weak figure, Long Yu felt that all the blood in his body was gathering towards his head. Just when Long Yu was about to fall into boundless rage, he heard Ying Lili's faint cry: "Long Yu..."
Long Yu rushed up almost subconsciously, knelt on one knee, and half leaned in front of Ying Lili. Wu Su hesitated for a moment, but this time did not stop him from approaching. Ying Lili's lips moved slightly, but because the Sha Mo people around her were extremely angry at this time, some came forward to check Ying Lili's injuries, some shouted that they wanted to dye Yonghui City with blood, some were ready to fight Long Yu, and some were trying hard to control their emotions. All kinds of voices mixed together, causing Long Yu to not hear clearly what she was saying.
The heart-wrenching pain that penetrated into her bones made Ping Lili almost faint. But no, she couldn't faint at this moment. There were more important things she had to tell Long Yu!
Ying Lili used up almost all of her greatest willpower to hold on to herself. Her tender lips had long been bitten by her silver teeth and were stained with blood. She struggled to raise her bloody right hand and gently placed it on the wound on her left shoulder that was almost pierced. Before anyone could react to what she was going to do, a scream that pierced the sky was heard, accompanied by a hissing sound of flesh and bones being separated. A bloody hole suddenly appeared on Ying Lili's left shoulder, and an arrow with black feathers was already lying in the palm of Ying Lili's hand. The black feathers had been stained with Ying Lili's blood.
"Long Yu..." Ping Lili called again. When Long Yu bent down, she used up her last bit of strength and placed the arrow feather in Long Yu's palm with her bloody hand.
Long Yu was slightly startled, and immediately understood her good intentions. His lips trembled slightly, and then he leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Wait for me, I'll be back soon! You hold on!"
Then, without waiting for Ying Lili to answer, Long Yu turned into a silver lightning and rushed towards Yonghui City. Wu Su's eyes were as cold as ice at this time, but unexpectedly he did not stop Long Yu. He looked in the direction of Yonghui City thoughtfully, as if he understood something in his heart.
"Senior Brother...Senior Brother Wu Su..." The weak voice of Ping Lili brought Wu Su back to his senses. He half-sat on the ground and gently placed her head on his knees. His hands never stopped injecting the pure spiritual energy in his body into her brows. At this time, Ping Lili was almost relying on the spiritual energy that Wu Su continuously injected into his body to maintain his last consciousness.
At this time, the witch doctor of the Shamo tribe had also come close. Even though this doctor was accustomed to the unpredictable life and death and bloody flesh and limbs, he could not help but gasp when he saw the injuries of Ying Lili. Such a delicate woman, her whole body was covered in blood. Not to mention her arms that had already revealed their white bones, even the horrible bloody hole on her left shoulder was enough to make a woman suffer from excruciating pain and lose all consciousness. However, not only did she remain conscious, she actually bit her lower lip tightly and did not even shed a tear. What a strong woman she was!
As expected of the reincarnation of Lord Kamae, the witch doctor sighed in his heart while taking out the healing medicine from the medicine box. Seeing how painful it was for Ying Lili, he felt a little bit reluctant. After thinking about it, he took out an oval leaf with a faint fragrance from the medicine box and handed it to Ying Lili's mouth.
"Please hold this Ecstasy Leaf in your mouth. It will help relieve your pain a little, because I will clean your wounds next, and it will be very painful..." The witch doctor was about to stuff the Ecstasy Leaf into Ping Lili's mouth, but found that Ping Lili clenched his teeth and bit his lower lip tightly, but did not open his mouth.
In fact, at this time, Ping Lili could hardly utter a word, but the only thought in her mind was that she must not faint!
Because she was not sure what would happen here if something happened to her or if she fell asleep. She was well aware of the anger of the Shamo people in front of her, and what she understood even more was the meaning behind the arrow that broke through the air!
This is a plan to cause a split between the Shamo and Ruoye tribes!
If Ping Lili had been unfortunately shot dead by that arrow just now, then the feud between the Ruoye and Shamo tribes would have been even bigger! And it would be an irreconcilable feud!
In broad daylight, in front of Yonghui City, the Ruoye people shot and killed the chief wizard of the Shamo people. This was not only a naked provocation to the Shamo people, but also a great shame! Something that they would never tolerate! The Shamo people would never let it go, and this arrow was shot from Yonghui City. Long Yu had no way to explain himself. Even if Long Yu knew that he was being plotted against, he had no way to explain it. Even Long Yu himself, if he lost his mind, what would he do, no one knew. This move was simply a plan to kill two birds with one stone!
If all this was really manipulated by someone, then we have to admit that the mastermind behind this is really powerful, and he calculated almost everything to the last detail! Including the timing of luring the Shamo people here, seemingly inadvertently provoking a duel between Long Yu and Wu Su, and secretly killing Ying Lili under the guise of a traitor from the Ruoye tribe...
Fortunately, Ping Lili was lucky enough to escape this disaster! And she understood everything in an instant! She even had a feeling that the army of the Kongming tribe might be nearby, maybe they were lurking there, waiting for the Ruoye tribe and the Shamo tribe to be defeated, so that they could reap the benefits!
So she had to maintain her last bit of clarity, even though she could hardly speak now. But as long as she was still alive, as long as she had a last bit of consciousness, perhaps she could prevent the worst outcome from happening. This was what Pinglili insisted on.
And when Wu Su saw the stubborn expression of Ying Lili, he was slightly startled. This woman seemed not to be the one in his memory. However, he felt vaguely that she and the shadow in his memory were slowly overlapping. Seeing Ying Lili's eyes, which were lifeless but staring at him, he seemed to understand what the woman wanted to tell him in an instant. Wu Su sighed softly, seeming to have forgotten his previous displeasure. He slowed down his tone, as if coaxing a child, and said to her softly: "Don't worry, I understand what you mean. I won't act rashly. Just listen to the witch doctor's words."
After getting Wu Su's assurance, Ping Lili finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still stubborn and refused to open her mouth to take the Enchantment Leaf, because she was still worried about Long Yu.
Seeing how persistent Ping Lili was, the witch doctor sighed helplessly. After getting a signal from Wu Su's eyes, he took out a few soul-stirring needles from the medicine box, intending to forcibly numb Ping Lili's consciousness, because what he was going to do next was really beyond the endurance of this seemingly weak woman. He had to dig open the wound on her left shoulder to take out the broken arrow and branch that was deeply embedded in her flesh and bones, and he also had to repair her arms... Even the top male wizard of the Shamo clan might not be able to endure the pain.
However, just as he took out the love needle, he was stopped by another hand. He subconsciously turned back and found that the person who stopped him was Yan Zheng.
Not only was the witch doctor stunned, but Wu Su also couldn't help but frown, as if they didn't understand why this usually quiet young man would do such a frivolous thing.
Er Zheng's action to stop the witch doctor from using the love needle on Ying Lili was purely subconscious. Although he had not had much contact with Ying Lili, he felt that after experiencing such scenes of life and death, he seemed to understand the woman in front of him a little. Since she insisted, she must have her own intentions.
Therefore, even if he offended the Great Elder in person, he did not care so much. At this time, in Yan Zheng's heart, he had completely regarded Ying Lili as the chief wizard of Sha Mo. Since it was something she insisted on, he would stick to that insistence for her at all costs.
Wu Su frowned as he looked at his most proud disciple. Although he was a little unhappy, he knew that this was not the time to dwell on these issues. He hurriedly said to the witch doctor, "Forget it. Since she insists, let her do it. The most important thing is to heal her first!"
Since Great Elder Wusu had spoken, the witch doctor had no reason to insist any longer. He sighed and began to busy himself with cleaning the wound for Yinglili...
But at this moment, the sky and the earth suddenly changed color again!
The dense blue-green electric light and crackling explosions formed a large net of several feet in radius in the sky, rushing in from all directions quickly and nimbly. Not only Yonghui City, but also the endless army of the Shamo tribe seemed to be wrapped in this blue-green net!
Everyone present suddenly changed their expressions, but Wu Su's eyelids just twitched. As expected, that person saw that his plan to sow discord had failed, and was afraid that the night would be too long and dreams would arise. If the Ye tribe and the Shamo tribe joined forces, he would end up losing more than he gained. Therefore, he could not wait to take action.
At this moment, the witch doctor took out the broken arrow and branch that had been lodged in Ping Lili's left shoulder. After another heart-wrenching scream, Ping Lili used his last remaining strength to lie on Wu Su's knees and uttered, "Brother Wu Su, please, help Long Yu save Yonghui City for me. After saving Yonghui City, I will go back to Shamo City with you."
Although she knew that this move was somewhat shameful, but in her current state, even if she wanted to live and die with Yonghui City, it was a luxury. Therefore, she had to take a gamble, betting on her position in Senior Brother Wusu's heart, or in other words, betting on Yao Ji's position in Wusu's heart.
