บท 40: Ice Element Protective Talisman

After Zhu Lin finished speaking, three pairs of eyes stared at the small porcelain jar. Tan Wei knew that since the medicine was given by Zhu Lin, it must not be an ordinary medicine.

He nudged Ji Yang lightly with his elbow and said, "Lao Yang, quickly try it."

Xiu Wu was also very curious about this medicine, so he motioned Ji Yang to try it. Seeing his two friends staring at him, Ji Yang swallowed the bread in his mouth, put down the remaining bread on the table, and picked up the small porcelain jar.

The moment the lid is opened, a cool and fresh fragrance permeates the small restaurant. Smelling the aroma, their tensed muscles suddenly relaxed, and they don't feel so hot anymore.

Ji Yang put down the small porcelain jar, dipped his middle finger in the light green ointment, and carefully applied it to his wounds so as no to waste the medicine. As soon as the ointment touches the wound, the burning pain disappears and is replaced by a comfortable cool sensation.

Sitting next to him, Tan Wei saw that Ji Yang was applying the medicine thinly and looked very focused. He stared at his wounds and asked, "How is it?"

Ji Yang didn't answer Tan Wei's question until he finished applying the ointment. Closing the lid, he said, "It feels cool, and as soon as the ointment is applied, the burning pain disappears."

Knowing that this is a very good medicine, he put the small porcelain jar in front of Zhu Lin, and said, "Thank you, Xiao Lin."

Zhu Lin pushed the medicine back to him and said, "You keep it. I think the temperature will continue to rise, and you better keep this medicine in case you need it."

Xiu Wu, who sat beside her, looked out of the window. Steam appeared to be rising from the asphalt road due to the high temperatures.

"Lao Xiu, what are you looking for?" Tan Wei asked, followed his gaze and looked out from the window.

Xiu Wu thought for a moment and said, "The temperature is too abnormal. Starting today, we will rest during the day and move at night."

Hearing what he said, Ji Yang frowned slightly and said, "But at night, zombies and mutants will become stronger. Have you forgotten that the population of this S City is more than six million, and more than half of them have turned into zombies?"

Seeing Xiu Wu lowering his eyes to think, he added: "Not to mention the number of the mutant animals around the city. Right now, we are only on the outskirts of S City, and there are already a lot of zombies. If we encounter a zombie tide, then we are doomed."

"We have no choice. We can still kill zombies and mutants, but we don't have anything to protect us from the high temperature." Xiu Wu replied with a frown.

Tan Wei thought for a while and said, "I agree with Lao Xiu. Even if we are besieged by zombies or mutant animals, we can still survive. But we really have no way to resist the current high temperature. In addition, we need to look at the road conditions."

Tan Wei pointed to the outside and said, "The asphalt has begun to melt under the high temperature."

As soon as he said this, everyone looked at the road, only to see that a thin layer of asphalt had already melted under the scorching sun. Judging from the current road conditions, if they go out now, their shoes will get stuck on the road, and in severe cases, their feet will get burned.

Because access to medical care is now very difficult, the risk of death after injury is very high. Thinking of this, everyone fell into silence. Zhu Lin glanced at the road for a moment, then looked at their gloomy expressions thoughtfully.

Leaving without a choice, Ji Yang finally agreed with Xiu Wu's idea. There are still six hours before sunset, so they closed their eyes and slept for a while. While the three of them were sleeping, Zhu Lin quietly walked to another table.

Sitting down, she took out the ink and painting brush Ji Yang gave her, and a stack of paper. Sitting on the table, Tu Tu looked at her arranging the materials and asked, [Master, do you want to refine the talisman again?]

Zhu Lin nodded and said, [The temperature is too high for human bodies to bear. I want to see if I can refine the protective talisman for them. Just now I searched in the ice flower pendant, and the defensive clothes inside are all women's clothes. I doubt they would be willing to wear women's clothing.]

Different from the simple elemental talisman she refined before, this protective talisman is a second grade talisman. In addition to the basic function of creating a protective area, the talisman refiner can add other functions, such as defensive spells, offensive spells, or supporting spells.

As for Zhu Lin, she plans to add an ice element formation to the protective talisman to reduce the temperature inside the protective area.

Tu Tu is very confident in its master's refining skills. In addition to superb sword skills, its master is also the best formation master and talisman refiner in the entire Six Realms. This kind of low grade talisman is nothing to her.

After opening the ink bottle, Zhu Lin picked up a brush and a piece of paper. She dipped the brush into the ink and started to paint. It took her ninety seconds to complete the protective talisman. She put down the brush and blew on the paper to dry the ink.

Putting the talisman on the table, she made a simple hand seal, and then tapped the talisman with her index and middle fingers. The moment her fingers touch the talisman, the talisman glows and dims in an instant.

She picked up the talisman, looked at Tu Tu and asked, [Should we test if it works or not?]
