Chapter 2814 Xiaoman (Coming!)
Thinking of the miserable appearance of the woman with iron nails nailed all over her body, Hu Xiaoman sighed heavily.
Hu Xiaoman's words were like a bomb exploding in Chu Ruo's ears.
Her eyes widened with shock and disbelief, her head shook like a rattle, and her voice trembled.
"Impossible. I went to Fengyang Palace to look for my mother before. I knocked on the door hard, but there was no movement inside."
Hu Xiaoman raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of realization flashed in his eyes.
"Oh, so it was you who was knocking on the door outside earlier."
No wonder she felt that the woman's voice of asking to open the door sounded so familiar at that time.
"When you were knocking on the door outside, I was hiding inside the palace and listened to your mother's screams all night long."
"When you knocked on the door, your mother's screams stopped for a while. She must have fainted from the torture."
"Chu Ruo, why don't you go save your mother first."
After saying that, Hu Xiaoman turned around and continued walking towards the killing formation.
But before she took a few steps, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by a strong hand.
Hu Xiaoman felt a sharp pain in her wrist, her beautiful eyebrows slightly frowned, and a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes.
Chu Ruo's anxious voice sounded in her ears: "Since you know she is my mother, why don't you save her?"
There was questioning and anger in her voice, and deep pain in her eyes.
Hu Xiaoman's eyes suddenly darkened and his tone became cold.
"Why should I save her?"
"Do I know her well?"
"Are you familiar with him?"
She shook Chu Ruo's hand off and walked towards the killing formation on her own.
Seeing this, Chu Ruo quickly walked up to Hu Xiaoman and opened her arms to block her way.
At this moment, Chu Ruo's eyes no longer had the anger from before. Instead, there were tears flashing in her eyes and a deep sadness emanating from her whole body.
Her lips trembled slightly, and her voice was pleading: "I'm sorry, I was reckless, I was just too anxious!"
"Hu Xiaoman, 20,000 top-grade spirit stones in exchange for my mother's life, okay?"
Hu Xiaoman blinked her eyes and said depressedly: "Chu Ruo, it's not like I captured your mother!"
Chu Ruo became even more anxious. She took a step forward and stared into Hu Xiaoman's eyes.
"Hu Xiaoman, I know you will find a way to save my mother."
"As long as you save my mother, I will give you 20,000 top-grade spirit stones."
Along the way, Chu Ruo has already gained some understanding of Hu Xiaoman in his heart.
She knew that Hu Xiaoman loved money very much.
Although she had just looted all the treasures in the palace, Chu Ruo believed that Hu Xiaoman would not be satisfied.
After all, no one would complain about having too many spirit stones.
Hu Xiaoman pursed his lips, a hint of hesitation flashed across his eyes, and then he slowly said: "Chu Ruo, didn't you just give me 10,000 top-grade spirit stones?"
"Didn't you say that was all your wealth?"
"If I help you rescue your mother, and you can't come up with 20,000 spirit stones, then..."
Before Hu Xiaoman finished speaking, Chu Ruo said firmly: "No."
"Although ten thousand top-grade spirit stones are all my assets, my mother has been favored in the palace for many years and has received many good things."
"She can give you 20,000 top-grade spirit stones. If you save her, you might get even more."
I have to say that the conditions offered by Chu Ruo really made Hu Xiaoman a little tempted.
She lowered her head and thought for a while, weighing the pros and cons in her mind.
But in the end, she still shook her head and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I can't agree to your request."
"After all, I am just a rookie in the late stage of foundation building. I can't save someone from a tiger's mouth."
Compared to twenty thousand spirit stones, your own life is more important.
After he finished speaking, Hu Xiaoman no longer paid attention to Chu Ruo, turned around and walked towards the killing formation again.
Just when she was only one step away from the killing array, Chu Ruo's voice rang in her ears again: "Twenty thousand spirit stones plus a top-secret message."
Hu Xiaoman didn't even turn his head and said coldly: "Not interested."
Chu Ruo was anxious. She raised her voice and shouted eagerly, "Don't you want the Soul-Fixing Pill?"
As soon as the three words "Soul-Fixing Pill" came out, Hu Xiaoman's foot, which had just been raised to step into the killing formation, was retracted.
She turned around slowly, with a hint of surprise and expectation in her eyes, and asked Chu Ruo, "Do you know where else I can find Soul-Fixing Pills?"
Chu Ruo shook his head: "The Soul-Fixing Pill is a top-grade heavenly pill, and only the Chu Imperial Palace has it."
Hu Xiaoman rolled her eyes: "Are you kidding me?"
When Hu Xiaoman turned around again, Chu Ruo quickly stepped forward and grabbed her hand, anxiously saying: "Hu Xiaoman, one of the medicinal ingredients in the Soul Solidifying Pill is the Heavenly Secret Lotus."
"This is a top-grade medicinal herb!"
"I know where the Tianji Lotus is."
"As long as you help me rescue my mother, I will tell you where the Heavenly Secret Lotus is."
Hu Xiaoman frowned and muttered to himself, "The medicinal ingredient of the Soul-Fixing Pill, the Heavenly Secret Lotus?"
She had never thought of refining the Soul-Fixing Pill herself.
But now, after Chu Ruo's reminder, she was tempted to give it a try.
There is an entire library in my mind.
There are also books on refining elixirs in the Nine Heavens Book.
Maybe there is a method for refining the Soul-Fixing Pill in some book.
Moreover, whether it exists or not, the Tianji Lotus is a top-grade medicinal material, and it would be great if you could get it.
Hu Xiaoman lowered his eyes and was weighing whether this deal was worth doing when a roar came from the killing array.
The sound was deafening, and even the killing formation trembled slightly.
Hu Xiaoman and Chu Ruo looked towards the killing formation at the same time.
They both knew that the roar came from the ancient witch.
Chu Ruo's face turned pale instantly, and he said in panic: "The ancient witch is here!"
After the ancient witch's angry voice stopped, the killing formation also stopped shaking.
Then the voice of Emperor Chu was heard.
Chu Ruo shouted in horror: "They are coming!"
His eyes were full of fear, and his scarlet eyes were staring at Hu Xiaoman.
Hu Xiaoman sneered and said confidently, "Don't worry, they can't get in."
"Just now, I not only cracked each node of the killing array, but also added a little bit of things to it."
"This killing formation now is no longer the simple killing formation from before."
"It will take some effort for them to pass through this killing array."
Hu Xiaoman took a few steps back, moving away from the killing array. He looked calm yet with a hint of barely perceptible nervousness.
She knew that the shrill scream that the Gu Gu witch had just made was caused by an attack from the evil spirits in the killing array.
Little did she know that this killing formation had already been slightly modified by her and had undergone subtle changes.
The ancient witch was careless before, but after the lesson just now, she must be very alert.
If this killing array was set up by the ancient witch, then she would be able to pass through it quickly.
