Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 182: Dark Energy
The people who did not know who Xiao Mei was just silently stared curiously. Especially seeing the so emotional Zhang Long. Question after question fluttered in their heads.
Only after Zhang Zhou explained a little about who Xiao Mei was, gradually did they all nod their heads.
Zhang Long seemed reluctant to take off his embrace. But right at that moment there was an unexpected situation that forced them to end the moment of the meeting.
"Second Chief! Third Elder!" Fifth Elder Zhang Lou ran from the back of the hiding place with a pale face.
Those at the front were curious as to what was happening. Zhang Long asked Zhang Lou to calm down before telling them what had happened.
The Fifth Elder became calmer after taking a deep breath. But the look on his face still looked anxious and worried.
"Second Chief, the Patriarch's state is deteriorating!"
For a while everyone held their breath because of it. Zhang Long reacted faster, he immediately went to the Patriarch's place before several elders followed him.
Zhang Yu did not want to miss. Curiosity made him pursue his father until he reached a simple hut.
"Zhang Yu, I feel a strong energy from within. You better be careful," Long Shen's message as Zhang Yu will step foot into the hut.
Justright. Once the foot had already passed the doorway, the dense dark energy felt so real.
"Can you feel it?" ask Long Shen.
"Yes. The energy was sourced from the Patriarch's body," Zhang Yu replied as he looked at the figure of the old man who was currently lying on top of the bed.
"Dad, how could the Patriarch be like this?" zhang Yu asked his father.
At that moment Zhang Lei's body convulsed like it was about to vomit. Zhang Long who was holding a potion immediately drank it until it calmed down again.
"Patriarch was exposed to poison," Zhang Long said.
Zhang Lou who was standing at the side immediately added with eyes that were emitting vengeance. "This is all Wen Ou's rotten bastard! Unable to defeat the Zhang Clan, he used poison to cripple the Patriarch and the Second Elder."
When he heard this Zhang Yu stared at his father.
Zhang Long immediately waved his hand. "I'm fine. The poison only hit me a little and had no effect."
However Zhang Yu had a different perception. He realized that dark energy was also in his father's body. Although it was very little compared to the Patriarch, but it seemed like that dark energy could develop.
"Dark energy is not poison. But it's very dangerous. If you don't get rid of him soon, your father's life and that old man won't be helped."
Long Shen's words increasingly made Zhang Yu uneasy.
Long Shen opened his mouth again. "I know how to treat them. Do you want to try it?"
"..."
"You can really do it?" zhang Yu asked to make sure.
Long Shen came out of the dragon bracelet and perched on Zhang Yu's shoulders. "of course. Do you think this dragon god lived for hundreds of years in vain? There's more I can do and you wouldn't expect it."
Hearing Long Shen start to act up, Zhang Yu couldn't bear it and interrupted him immediately. "Do it first if you're really capable. Only then will I admit it."
Hmh!
Long Shen clucked. But Zhang Yu simply smiled without caring about it.
"Dad, let me treat the Patriarch."
That question was not just about Zhang Long. But also the Third Elder, the Fourth Elder, the Fifth Elder and the Sixth Elder.
"I've healed someone who was poisoned. I will try" Zhang Yu said.
For a moment the five elders fell silent. They then nodded their heads compactly.
"It doesn't hurt to try. It was better than doing nothing" said the Fifth Elder who sounded quite wise.
"alright. Third Elder, please help me seat the Patriarch in his place." After that Zhang Yu stood beside the bed and placed his right hand on the Patriarch's shoulder as per Long Shen's direction.
"Dad, you also sit down," Zhang Yu said as he pointed to the spot next to the Patriarch.
"Me?" point Zhang Ling at himself confusedly.
"Second Chief, however you are also exposed to the poison that Wen Ou threw, it is better to neutralize them all just in case."
Hearing Zhang Lou's sentence made Zhang Long resignedly sit beside the Patriarch. Then Zhang Yu immediately placed his left hand on his father's shoulder.
"Chairman, can you come out first? I need time and quiet to do it."
Third Elder, Fourth Elder, Fifth Elder and Sixth Elder looked at each other. They nodded their heads and left the hut.
"Zhang Yu, are you really able to neutralize the poison?" ask Zhang Long.
"Dad just calm down. Your son is more reliable than you think."
Hmh!
Long Shen snorted at Zhang Yu's sentence. "You're talking like you're the one who can take away that dark energy. You're just the middleman and I'm doing it."
Zhang Yu paid no heed to Long Shen who was mumbling. He immediately channeled his Qi to the Patriarch and his father through his palm.
The next second Long Shen absorbed the dark energy utilizing Zhang Yu's intermediary.
It must be known that dark energy is the food of the dragon race. So even though it is very dangerous for other creatures, but for dragons it is just nutritious food. Long Shen only needed Zhang Yu to hold the dark energy within his body, then made use of the connection that was intertwined with the dragon bracelet to absorb that dark energy and eat it.
Surprisingly in a relatively short time the pale Patriarch's body returned as radiant as ever. At the same time Zhang Long also felt his body become lighter and more powerful. It was as if the heavy burden on his shoulders that weighed on his some time was lifted completely.
"Zhang Yu, is it done?" zhang Long asked, noticing that his son had just pulled his hand off his shoulder.
"Dad, help me lay down the Patriarch."
Zhang Ling immediately did. When he saw the Patriarch's fresh-looking face, it was also then that he made sure that his son really had the ability to neutralize the poison.
Although it was actually not a poison, but for people who were unaware of it, dark energy did have properties and characters similar to poison.
"Second Chief!"
Hearing Zhang Long's voice, the four elders outside immediately went inside. Undeniably, they were also shocked when they saw the change in the condition of the Patriarch.
"The Patriarch's condition has improved. You guys please take care of the Patriarch, I want to talk to Zhang Yu." After hearing the answers of the four elders Zhang Long had just moved from his place. Do not forget to also take Zhang Yu out of the hut.
"Come on Zhang Yu" he exclaimed.
When they came out, the two of them greeted several people including Xiao Mei. So Zhang Long took his wife back to his hut.
