"Ah...ah..."
Aaliyah was lying against the car door, breathing heavily. Her eyes were a little distracted, her hair was stuck to her forehead, and she was covered in sweat. The wound on the thigh was bone-deep, and countless muscle fibers and capillaries were slowly squirming, growing and healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After resting for a moment, she struggled to get up, took off her coat, lifted up her leather jacket, and exposed the injury under her ribs. Her lower abdomen is slightly bulging, and her waistcoat line is clearly visible. She looks toned and yet voluptuous, making people want to touch her.
However, the skin, which was as white as fresh snow, was stained with large amounts of blood. Against the backdrop of her skin color, she became increasingly red, which was shocking to see.
She lifted up her leather jacket with one hand and held the knife with the other, gesturing back and forth at the wound, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. Her chest kept rising and falling, as if she was trying hard to control the rhythm of her breathing.
"Ah...ah..."
Her breathing became faster and faster, and the hand holding the knife trembled slightly, and even her knuckles turned white due to excessive exertion. There was a vital point there, and if the knife was inserted in the wrong place, her injuries would be aggravated.
"Beauty, do you need help?"
While hesitating, a familiar voice suddenly came from beside him. Aaliyah trembled and her movements froze.
"Chen, Chen Xing, you, why are you here?"
There was a hint of panic and wariness in his voice.
Chen Xing smiled slightly and said, "I think we should be companions..." He tried to look relaxed and casual, "Since we came together, we should go back together."
Aaliyah looked at him with a gloomy expression on her face. Finally, she gritted her teeth, pointed the blade of her knife, and said sternly, "Go away!"
"I don't need your help, get out of here!" Her eyes were filled with blood, as if she were a wounded female animal, ready to break out and hurt someone at any time.
"Okay, okay, I'll go..." Chen Xing raised his hands to show that he had no ill intentions, and then stepped back and said, "Alia, we are friends, friends of Orchid Town, please believe me, I will treat you No malice, really no…”
Aaliyah didn't speak, just stared at him silently, as if she wanted to see into his soul.
After retreating to a certain distance, Chen Xing sighed and said in a calm voice, "Well, since you don't want to see me, I'll leave..." Then he raised his hand towards her and said, "Goodbye, friend."
Chen Xing turned around and walked a few steps, and then just as he expected, a soft voice sounded behind him, "Don't, don't go..."
"What's wrong?" Chen Xing stopped, turned around, and asked with a confused look on his face.
"Save me, Chen Xing, save me..." Aaliyah shouted weakly.
Chen Xing nodded pretendingly and returned to Aaliyah. The latter took the initiative to lift his leather jacket, revealing the injured area.
The wound was located under the ribs, where the liver was, and was about the thickness of an index finger. The surrounding muscle fibers were slowly squirming. White smoke was constantly coming out of the wound, and there was a burnt smell of barbecue. It felt like putting a live coal in the wound.
"I, I was hit by a mithril magic bullet..." Aaliyah gasped and said intermittently, "I, I have the blood of a demon, mithril will prevent the healing of the wound, help me, help me take it out... ..." As she spoke, she handed the knife in her hand to Chen Xing.
It was a thin, thin knife with a handle, very similar to a scalpel. The blade is so cold that just looking at it will make your scalp tingle.
"It feels like there's a soldering iron burning me inside. It hurts so much..." Aaliyah had tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, looking pitiful.
Chen Xing held the knife and seemed a little hesitant. Although he knew how to administer simple battlefield first aid, he had never tried operating a knife on his liver.
"You, don't worry, I have demon blood and my regeneration ability is very good. As long as you take out the warhead, even if the inside is damaged, it can grow back." Aaliyah said tremblingly.
"Then, I'll give it a try."
Chen Xing hesitated for a while, lowered his head, and was about to use the knife, but Aaliyah pushed him, "Wait!" She searched around for a while, found the rolled up piece of cloth, and bit it in her mouth.
Then, Chen Xing adjusted his position, slowly inserted the blade into the wound, and cut downwards.
"Well……"
Aaliyah clenched her hands into fists, her whole body tensed up, and tears flowed out uncontrollably.
He cut open the wound and pushed aside the squirming muscle fibers, and found the mithril slug.
"Zizzizi..."
Tiny bubbles appeared around the warhead, as if it were being fried in a pan. Muscle fibers kept gathering in that direction, and then shrank back due to the heat.
"Do you have tweezers?" Chen Xing asked. Just looking at him made her feel pain. I really don’t know how Aaliya could bear it.
"Use, use your hands!" Aaliyah said with all her strength.
"Then bear with it." After saying that, Chen Xing put his fingers together and inserted them into the flesh. After a brief groping, he touched the warhead, clamped it hard, and pulled outward.
"ah!"
The moment she pulled out the warhead, Aaliyah let out a heart-rending scream and then fainted.
Chen Xing hurriedly took out the hemostatic agent and sprayed it on her wound. New granulations continued to grow, and the bleeding soon stopped. Then he pulled some bandages and cloth strips and bandaged her wounds.
After doing this, Chen Xing sat on the ground tiredly. About ten minutes later, Aaliyah woke up and said, "Quick, hurry up, they are still behind..."
"Who?" Chen Xing frowned and asked.
"I robbed their things. There were many of them. I killed some of them, and there are still others inside. I will chase them out soon," Aaliyah explained.
Chen Xing didn't ask what was stolen, but Aaliyah took it out of her pocket.
In her hand, she saw a purple crystal the size of a fist. There seemed to be a light source in the crystal, flickering on and off, like a beating heart.
"This..." Chen Xing's eyes widened. This thing seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember it.
"The crystal core of the Abyss Dark Demon can buy the entire Giant Lizard City." Aaliyah said it before Chen Xing could ask.
"How could there be such a thing!" Chen Xing looked shocked. The Abyss Dark Demon is at the same level as the Balrog. Even in the abyss, it is still at the top of the food chain. Even the lowest level Dark Demon has king-level strength.
"The Dark Demon was seriously injured and was surrounded by the Double Cross people for several months. Finally, I killed it in a sneak attack." Aaliyah showed a smile and said, "When I get back, I will give you half of it."
"Forget it's half, just give me some scraps." Chen Xing said knowingly. This thing was priceless, and he didn't dare to share half of it.
"You know what I'm doing, I won't treat you badly when I get back." Aaliyah said.
"Then let's go quickly." "Okay." After saying that, Chen Xing went to help Aaliya. However, the latter's whole body was limp and he couldn't help him up at all.
"You, carry me on your back." Aaliyah's face turned red and she said.
"Carry you?" Chen Xing was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth, squatted down and carried the other person on his back. Although he had twenty points of strength, Aaliyah's body was extremely dense and he could only barely bear the opponent's weight. What's more, he has to carry luggage and firearms, which is very dangerous.
But now that the matter was over, he had no other choice but to bite the bullet and walk into the Black Death Forest. In order to avoid being tracked by the people of the Silver Knights Guild, he quickly found the stream and walked forward with the water flowing.
