Li Mu felt as if his whole body was being burned by fire, his internal organs had been shaken out of place, and the tidal pain had brought his consciousness to the edge of disintegration.
"I didn't expect to be beaten so badly after wearing the thorn armor. This is still a first-level monster. I really can't imagine what kind of strength a high-level monster can have. Wake up, wake up, Li Mu, you can't just Such an admission of defeat!”
Li Mu gritted his teeth in consciousness, constantly trying to stay awake, because he knew that if he gave up resistance at this time, he would probably never wake up again.
Just as the battle between Li Mu and himself entered a white-hot stage, a burst of green energy suddenly appeared and flowed along his meridians throughout his body. The pain from the fire slowly eased under the wash of this strange energy. , eventually disappearing completely.
"I'm saved. This power is so strange. It actually contains such strong vitality. I guess it was Xiaoyu who gave me some healing elixir."
Li Mu's consciousness began to become stable after the pain subsided, and this sudden strange energy pulled him back from the gate of hell like a timely rain.
On the stone platform, the girl's body was soaked with sweat. Her pretty face was bloodless at this time, her eyes were closed tightly, and her expression was painful. But even so, she was still running her healing skills, and she continued to pour her own vitality into her arms. In the young man's body, if I need to give up my life to protect you, then I will not hesitate. This is the simple thought in Nie Xiaoyu's heart at this time.
I don't know how long it took, but the rapid breathing of the boy in her arms finally began to become steady, and the hot body slowly returned to normal. The girl breathed a long sigh of relief and gave Li Mu two more pills. After taking the medicine, he stopped injecting vitality and waited quietly for the boy to wake up.
"water……"
I don't know how long it took, but night had completely fallen. A muttering so soft that it was almost inaudible made Xiao Yu, who was adjusting his breathing, suddenly open his eyes.
"Brother Mu, are you awake? That's great. Come on, drink some water."
Taking the bamboo kettle handed over by Xiaoyu, Li Mu took a big sip. The cool spring water flowed through his throat, and the burning sensation was replaced by indescribable comfort.
"Huh, feel good, Xiaoyu, how long have I been unconscious? Where am I?"
At this time, Li Mu had mostly recovered from his injuries with the help of elixirs and Xiaoyu healing techniques. Although there was still a slight pain in his chest, it was nothing serious. He sat up slowly, looked around, and found that A unique hiding place.
Li Mu also did not say thank you to the pale girl next to him. It is said that there is no thank you for a big favor, let alone a life-saving grace. Without the girl's support before, he would have never had the chance to kill Storm Wolf, even if he succeeded by luck. , if the girl hadn't moved him to a safe place, fed him pills and helped him heal his injuries, he would probably have died.
Seeing the mixture of exhaustion and happiness in the girl's eyes, an impulse to protect her kept emerging in Li Mu's heart.
"How can I, Li Muhe, be saved by such a good girl at the risk of my life? Xiaoyu, from now on, I will be your protector. Anyone who wants to hurt you must step over my body first."
Secretly thinking in his heart, Li Mu has regarded the girl as the one he wants to cherish and protect in his life.
"The storm wolf was directly pierced through the head by the sword energy and died. Is this something that can be done at the half-step pill formation level? It's strange. Could it be that this kid is hiding some tricks?"
The man in a black cloak crouched next to the body of the Storm Wolf and carefully observed the wounds. The shocking traces of battle all around proved that the Storm Wolf had the upper hand, but what allowed the target who had been passively beaten to instantly kill the Storm Wolf? ?
The man's doubts became more serious, and he realized that the information about the target seemed to be wrong.
"The blood stains disappeared quickly here. It seems that at least one of the two people is a monk with healing ability. There are only footprints of one person from beginning to end, indicating that the other has lost the ability to move. You must be careful and continue to I can erase the traces, but unfortunately I still lack experience and there are some things that cannot be seen by the naked eye.”
The man with the evil token hanging on his waist took out a wooden box from his arms, slowly opened it, and a dark golden strange insect flew out with flapping wings.
Tracking bugs are rare exotic insects that can track targets through the smallest scent. Once they lock on to the scent, they will pursue them no matter where they are. This kind of insect is ferocious in nature and is extremely difficult to raise and domesticate. It requires special methods to be completely Take control.
The tracking bug flew swayingly to a piece of broken cloth in the man's hand. It was the corner of Li Mu's robe that was punctured when fighting the storm wolf. As his body flashed and darkened, the bug finally locked onto its target. The breath shot out instantly and flew in one direction.
"I found you. I hope you won't disappoint me too much and fulfill your duty as a prey."
The moon over the Black Dragon Mountains was particularly round and bright today, illuminating half of the man's face, which was covered with horrific scars. At this time, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his smile was frightening.
"Xiao Yu, I have almost recovered. How are you?"
After running Da Zhoutian's Innate Art, Li Mu had completely straightened out the originally chaotic aura in his body, and his strength had returned to 90%.
"Brother Mu, I have no problem. Fortunately, with your Golden Crow Qi Replenishing Pill, I have returned to my peak condition."
Xiaoyu tied the whip around her waist again, stood up and patted her clothes, telling Li Mu that she could start again.
"Well, let's go quickly and return to the inn first. I always feel something is wrong. Logically speaking, storm wolves should not appear in the outer areas of this mountain range. I suspect that we are being targeted by someone with intentions."
Li Mu's sense of crisis, which he had cultivated in online games for many years, reminded him that the storm wolf's attack was definitely not that simple. There might be a pair of eyes chasing him closely now. He and Xiao Yu were in this dense forest at this time. , just like prey, and the hunter is waiting for an opportunity in the shadows.
The two reached a consensus, said no more, and left at full speed in the direction of the station outside the mountain range.
About half a stick of incense later, a black figure landed on the rock. It was the mysterious Blood Evil Camp killer known as the Beast Armor.
"Huh? We went towards the outside of the mountain. Did you notice it? We originally wanted to ambush you, but it seems we have no choice. We must fight quickly. It will be a bit difficult to deal with it when we reach the outside of the mountain. If we let these two go, Little baby, the boss might kill me, no, he will definitely kill me."
The expression on the face of the beast armor began to become ferocious. He took out a black jade bottle from his sleeve. After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and threw it to the ground. As the jade bottle was shattered, a thumb-sized The rat monster appeared in front of him.
Covered in short red hair and a pair of blood-red eyes that made people shudder, the rat demon who was thrown to the ground immediately entered a state of rage and pounced directly on the outstretched right hand of the beast armor.
"Zhizhi..."
With a muffled groan, the right hand of the beast armor was bitten hard by the rat demon, and then the demon beast's body deflated at a speed visible to the naked eye, its blood-red eyes became dim, and eventually its life was exhausted. , fell to the ground.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"
At this time, the beast armor covered his right hand and let out a violent scream. Green veins spread from his right hand to his whole body, and a manic aura rose up.
Panting heavily, he finally got used to the severe pain all over his body. When he raised his head, his eyes turned as red as that little mouse.
"Come on, it's hunting time."
With one step forward, the beast armor shot out in the direction of the seeking insect at an astonishing speed. The majestic momentum was no longer concealed, and the strong killing intent caused all the vegetation in its path to explode.
Li Mu, who was also running at full speed in the distance, also felt this undisguised momentum and suddenly turned his head to look behind.
