In truth, Shi Lei had not left this entire time. If he finally found the Taomou Herba and left just like that, returning empty-handed, wouldn't his trip this time have been for nothing?

Shi Lei was now very regretful. If he had picked that lone Taomou Herba last night, then this might not be the situation he was in now.

Only, it was too late to say such words now. What Shi Lei needed to face was still the huge problem of Zi Yangshu.

Whether it was the treatment or acupuncture, they were all worthy of the name Medical Sage. However, right now, it was a battle of wits, and it was not Shi Lei's strong point.

Hiding behind the rock, Shi Lei thought for a long time. He did not want to fight with Zi Yangshu head on, it was not beneficial at all.

He stuck his head out and looked for a while, but didn't see Zi Yangshu's figure. However, he could still faintly hear squeaking sounds.

From the looks of it, Zi Yangshu had not gone far.

There wasn't much time left, Shi Lei really didn't have any more time to waste, and Xiu Er and the others' Gu Worm were about to mature. If Shi Lei continued to delay the afternoon, the outcome would really not be good.

There was no other way, Shi Lei could only think of other useful methods.

He tried several times, but every time he sneaked his way over, Zi Yangshu's panting would appear beside him within three to four seconds.

Hearing such a voice, Shi Lei could only retreat, afraid that he would encounter a face-to-face situation.

This stalemate continued for half a day without any progress on Shi Lei's part. Forget about obtaining the Taomou Herba, he didn't even manage to take a glance at it.

The sun had already reached the top of his head. The afternoon sun was still very hot on the top of the mountain. The haze brought about by the plum rain yesterday seemed to have completely disappeared at this moment.

Shi Lei picked up a rock from the boulder and threw it near the Taomou Herba. He thought that with the movement here, he would be able to get Zi Yangshu to come out, and then, taking advantage of the time difference, he would run to the other side to pick a stalk.

But the reality completely shocked Shi Lei, after throwing a few stones over, Zi Yangshu still had not appeared.

"No way."

Shi Lei began to become curious.

Logically speaking, the movement he should have made earlier should have been much smaller than a rock, but why did Zi Yangshu choose to come out just as he was about to come out?

Shi Lei didn't dare to imagine, that such a Zi Yangshu still had the ability to recognize infrared light, but what exactly was the reason?

"Could it be …"

Other than the infrared ray on his body, the biggest difference between the rock and him was that it was breathing.

Zi Yangshu's ears were not very good, but if one could sense the breath on his body, then they might be able to find out where Shi Lei was hiding the moment he appeared in the surroundings.

Thinking about this possibility, Shi Lei's interest was piqued. Coincidentally, there were still medicines in the Treasure Chest that could temporarily inhibit his breathing. If he really succeeded, then he might really succeed today.

Before, when he went out to treat his illness, he did not have enough things on him, so Shi Lei had left a small Treasure Chest on his body since then.

There weren't many things inside, but they were all very complete.

Shi Lei hurriedly found the pill and swallowed it.

Shi Lei's breathing stopped for a moment, but he could only blame it for continuing for fifteen minutes. If Shi Lei was unable to complete the mission within that fifteen minutes, he could only go down the mountain and search for other methods.

It was at this moment that Shi Lei suddenly felt as if someone beside him was patting him on the shoulder.

"What are you doing!"

Was this the voice of his Master?

Shi Lei hurriedly stopped his hands, luckily he did not have much strength, and was able to stop the car in time, if not, he might not be able to do much with this slap.

"Master? "Why are you here?"

Shi Lei said in shock.

"I was looking for a Chinese medicine on top of the mountain when I saw your clothes hanging on a tree, so I came over."

Shi Lei chuckled as he looked in the direction Peng Quantong pointed at and saw the mark he had previously hung.

"So it's this."

That's right, you left too quickly last night, there are still a lot of things that I haven't told you yet, this Zi Yangshu.

Before Peng Quantong could finish speaking, Shi Lei interrupted: "Do you want to feel their breath?"

"How do you know?"

His Master seemed very surprised.

"Is your disciple not a genius?"

Shi Lei would naturally not say that he had bumped into so many things.

"Alright, since you know, then go quickly. If you don't, the sky will turn dark. At night, Zi Yangshu's eyesight is much more powerful than a human's."

Feeling that Peng Quantong seemed to have specially come to give Shi Lei a hint, he immediately left after saying all this.

"Good luck, son, you have to do everything on your own."

Peng Quantong laughed loudly.

Shi Lei looked at his watch and the sky started to darken. If Shi Lei did not take action soon, he would have met with an even worse situation.

After consuming the pill, Shi Lei's breathing immediately stopped, and it was time to act.

As he slowly walked out from behind the rocks, Shi Lei tried to make sure that his movements were as quiet as possible. After all, Zi Yangshu was very strong, even if he knew his weakness, he couldn't be careless.

Holding his breath, Shi Lei approached the Taomou Herba. After arriving here, Shi Lei was still thinking to himself that it would be the same as before, that Zi Yangshu would come over, but this time, he was feeling extremely safe.

Arriving in front of the Taomou Herba and gently plucking a flower, Shi Lei's heart felt like it was carrying a huge rock. He was extremely nervous, and only after obtaining the Taomou Herba did Shi Lei relax a lot.

"I did."

Shi Lei laughed.

As long as they could get their hands on the Taomou Herba and eliminate it before Xiu Er and the others could release it, then they could solve the crisis of the entire Jiangling City.

Shi Lei jumped in excitement, but he felt that there was a sense in the word tragedy.

Right at this moment, although Zi Yangshu didn't feel Shi Lei's breath, the trembling and yelling coming from these Taomou Herba really existed.

Shi Lei didn't even wait to be happy for a moment before he felt the earth shaking and the mountains shaking.

"Oh no, it's coming!"

Shi Lei screamed.

Without even thinking, this was Zi Yangshu's trail. Shi Lei didn't even have time to react, and directly ran down the mountain in fear.

"No way, no way, I have to run out!"
