Martial World's
Ch 209 - Injured Girl
…
…
…
In a cave at the base of Thundercrash Mountain, Lin Ming recovered from his injuries as he meditated. The residual flames from the Vermillion Bird were difficult to overcome. Only after spending so much effort was Lin Ming only able to forcefully suppress it.
After swallowing the medicinal pill, Lin Ming examined his body with his soul force; every hidden wound was almost healed.
Lin Ming looked at the sky, the sun setting on the horizon. Lin Ming intended to escape from Thundercrash Mountain at night and find a secret place to sift through the attribute treasures he had taken. It was a pity that he had not managed to obtain the Thunder Soul, this caused Lin Ming to feel a hint of regret.
As he carefully exited the cave, Lin Ming launched his movement technique. He was like a slender cheetah as he walked through the forest with only the sound of a broken branch under his foot. In an instant, Lin Ming had already rushed forward several miles into the distance.
The sun disappeared on the horizon, and the dim forest became completely dark. But this had no impact on Lin Ming's speed. After rushing another several dozen miles, Lin Ming stopped in his footsteps. With his sharp senses, he felt an extremely rich flame energy in the air.
Looking around, Lin Ming discovered that the surrounding land was charred black, and even the green leaves on the tree had been roasted into a withered yellow. They seemed to be roasted by the fiery air.
With all the signs of burning objects in the surroundings, Lin Ming was able to find a clear trail of flames, as if something burning had entered deep into the forest.
Lin Ming hesitated for a moment before following the trail of fire for a few steps. Suddenly his eyes narrowed, "Blood?"
On the ground, there were some dark red blood stains. And the dead wood and the leaves around the bloodstains had been burned to ashes.
Lin Ming had a faint guess about what happened He held his body breath and sent out his soul force. Carefully following the trail of fire, he only needed to walk 2 or 3 miles before he suddenly froze in his footsteps.
In the opening in the forest, a large red bird lay on the ground, prostrating. This was the Vermillion Bird that Lin Ming had seen before.
This surprised Lin Ming. Vermillion Bird's wings are completely broken! Blood constantly dripped from the wound. The bloodstains he saw in the forest were left behind by this injured Vermillion Bird.
Looking at Vermillion Bird's receding appearance, it seemed as if he received an extremely heavy wound. His body fire was not as lively as before. Instead, they were like the flame wicks of a candle before it went out.
Behind Vermillion Bird, there was a woman in red clothes leaning against the tree trunk. Her face was pale, her pretty eyes were tightly closed and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.
His body was wrapped in flames and a purple lightning arc. On a dark night, it was a very dramatic picture.
Obviously, he was also seriously injured.
Seeing this scene, Lin Ming's eyes widened in astonishment. The woman in red had suppressed the Thunder Flood Dragon in their battle, so how was the situation reversed and she picked up such a heavy wound? If he could not win, he could at least escape. But even her Vermillion Bird mountain had broken a wing. Did the Thunder Flood Dragon use its last outstanding trump card? Or is there another amazing powerhouse that has arrived?
Lin Ming looked at the woman in red, and his expression changed several times, revealing his conflicting thoughts. He finally decided to return to his original place. A powerhouse like this, even if severely injured, would still find no difficulty in killing him. Lin Ming did not want to put his own little life in the hands of others.
Of course, he also thought that if he could help the woman heal her wounds, he would have to owe her a debt of gratitude. The value of assistance from a Xiantian realm master could be imagined.
But if he was a Xiantian realm master, he most likely had some magic medicine and potions that he could casually bring out that were equal to his entire net worth. Why would he need his help in healing the injuries?
Just as Lin Ming took a step back, the woman in red opened her eyes. His pitch-black pupils stared ahead. On a dark night, his eyes were like shining stars.
Lin Ming stopped, standing in his place. He hesitated for a moment, before respectfully calling out. "Greetings, Senior!"
"That's you . ”
The woman in red had already sensed someone nearby. It was only because their cultivation level was not high that he did not care much.
But, it seemed like he had run across the boy from Thundercrash Mountain.
This was the third time they had met, this was truly fate.
"Do you know if there's a large Southern Tribe nearby?" The woman in red asked. His voice was weak, but it still revealed the arrogant feeling of nobility.
“Yes, there's one 200 miles to the southwest. "Said Lin Ming honestly. She guessed that during her time at the top, the woman in red was too busy to care about a weak and insignificant person like herself. There was no way he knew that he had already plundered the Thunder Flood Dragon cave, so he was not worried that he would covet anything on him.
"200 miles ..." The woman in red sighed, a sharp bitterness flashed across her face. He did not imagine that one day, a dignified girl from Divine Phoenix Island like himself would stammer with just 200 miles.
Lin Ming became aware of the bitterness in the woman in red. He was shocked a moment ago, he immediately understood. Not only was Vermillion Bird its wings broken, but the woman in red was also severely injured, to the point where even walking would be an extremely difficult task.
He was curious; how could this woman in red, who had the upper hand, suddenly suffer such heavy injuries? Of course, it was a question he did not dare to ask.
Although it was impossible, Lin Ming still politely asked, "Senior, is there any other way I can help?"
Lin Ming shook his head. “It's just a small tribe, they won't have such a mountain. But, they do have horses …. ”
Lin Ming's sentence came to a halt as he glanced at Vermillion Bird. A big, strong bird, can a horse carry it?
The woman in red shook her head, her eyes flashing in disappointment.
The woman in red shook her head, her eyes flashing in disappointment.
Gently he said, “Thank you. ”
Then she stood up, and leaned over to whisper into Vermillion Bird's ear. Vermillion Bird opened both his eyes and whined a few times, struggling to stand up.
Vermillion Bird tried to use his wings to support himself, but because his left wing was broken, he lost his balance and almost fell to the ground.
The woman in red couldn't bear to see that pitiful sight. With a hint of deep regret, she reached out her jade-white hand and placed it on Vermillion Bird's chest, continuously pouring the true essence of fire into Vermillion Bird's body.
When the woman in red true essence poured into Vermillion Bird, Vermillion Bird's healthy appearance was restored a little. But, at the same time, the purple electric curvature of the lightning on the woman in the red body became wilder and stronger. After more lightning arches appeared, the woman on the red face became increasingly pale.
Lin Ming had clearly been watching everything from the side. The lightning was clearly left behind by the attack of the Thunder Flood Dragon, and the purple arc of lightning originated from within the woman in a red body.
Previously, the woman in red had used her own true essence to suppress the lightning in her body, but she did not seem to achieve success. Now that he had poured some of his true essence into the Vermillion Bird, the lightning around him immediately became fierce.
If it was the power of thunder that even the woman in red could not suppress, then perhaps ….
Lin Ming had a faint guess. This speculation caused him to gasp for breath, and his heart started beating like a wild drum!
Seeing the woman in red taking pills and limping towards Vermillion Bird, bringing him to the southwest, Lin Ming opened his mouth and said, "Senior, may I see your injury?"
The woman in red turned her head, looking at Lin Ming in surprise. Although this young man in front of him seemed somewhat mystical, and his strength far exceeded his current cultivation, he did not think that there was any chance he could heal his wounds.
The moment the Thunder Flood Dragon came out with its final strike, he could only use its thick true essence to barely suppress it. He had no other way to deal with it.
The woman in red only wanted a portion of the Thunder Flood Dragon's blood to help Vermillion Bird complete its evolution. He had even brought enough treasures and conditions to exchange for the same as the Thunder Flood Dragon. He never imagined that this matter, which could not be taken too seriously, had caused the Thunder Flood Dragon to bet everything against him.
As the woman in red was in control and suppressing the Thunder Flood Dragon, it did not even hesitate to use the thousands of years of Thunder Soul that had been purified within itself during its final strike.
If it was a common thunder power, the woman in red would be able to use her true essence to extinguish it. However, the Thunder Soul survived and refused to be exterminated. After entering his body, he had to transfer all of the true essence in his body to contain it. If he loosened his guard slightly, or used true essence, the Thunder Soul would immediately manifest, attacking the haphazard meridians in his body!
For this reason, he did not even have the ability to fly right now.
If he wanted to eliminate the Thunder Soul from within his body, he could only do so at Divine Phoenix Island. But, Divine Phoenix Island was 500,000 miles from here. Thinking of this, the woman in the red heart was filled with bitterness. With his current condition, he would die before he walked far.
Vermillion Bird rushed out of Thundercrash Mountain to save his life. It was also severely injured and barely made it down the mountain; its left wing had been completely destroyed.
One person and one bird would easily attract the attention of a high-level savage beast in this savage forest. Women in red could easily handle them, however, the problem was if they came in large numbers. If they did, the woman in red would have to use an excessive amount of true essence, aggravating her injuries.
The woman in red didn't imagine that she would be placed in such a miserable state; it seemed that she had been at a dead end.
He said to Lin Ming, “Thank you, but no. You have no way to deal with my injuries. ”
He guessed that Lin Ming came from some big family in the mortal world, and he might have some kind of expensive magic medicine in his body. But, she had many of these pills and potions, and hers was even better. However, all of his medicines were not in front of the Thunder Soul.
Lin Ming knew that the woman in red would not believe him. He said, “Senior, I just want to see it. If I can't do anything, I will naturally give up. With Senior's injuries like now, was Senior actually planning on bringing Vermillion Bird with a broken wing to the human tribe? Or was Senior planning to stay in this ferocious beast forest? I'm afraid both of these plans are a bit dangerous. ”
"I said, there's nothing you can do about my injuries!" The woman in red said impatiently. He was someone who was used to being in a superior position and listening; he was unfamiliar with others questioning him, especially about obvious problems.
It's like a little kid telling a wise doctor that he'll help take a pulse and see what disease he has. The doctor would really think that the little boy was just playing around and spending his time.
If not for the young man being so young, the woman in red would have even suspected that she had improper thoughts of taking advantage of the situation.
Lin Ming looked at the woman in apparent impatience and annoyance He did indeed have an ulterior motive in asking to see her wound. It was because he wanted to check out the possibility of the Thunder Soul. He patiently said, “I just want to see it. If I can't do anything, you have nothing to lose. You are a great Xiantian master, why are you afraid of a Bone Forging brat like me? ”
