In the thick snow, a young man covered in blood was lying on the ground.
More than half of his face, which was tilted to one side, was buried under the snow, but only the exposed part allowed people to see his general appearance.
What surprised everyone was that there was a lot of blood on the young man in front of him, but there were no obvious wounds at all. His aura seemed very weak, but his cultivation level was not low, and he was already close to the middle stage of receiving qi.
In the eyes of Su Jian, Wang Xiao and others, warriors of this level would naturally not take it seriously, but among all the forces in Kuocheng, they are definitely not nameless people. Even the Ghost Painter's
Warriors should not feel too unfamiliar to them.
It's just that the person in front of you feels strange to everyone. This is the most noticeable thing. In addition, following the traces left by this person on the ground, you can see that he has crawled a long distance.
The snow path extended to the end of sight, which made everyone even more surprised.
"Who is this guy and why did he climb here? It seems that his destination is heading towards the city lord's palace." Wang Xiao retracted his gaze, turned to Guo Xiao and asked.
When several people gathered in front of them, Guo Xiao had already arrived beside the two old men from Kang and Zhao, looking at the young man lying in the snow nest with the same curious expression.
Now that he heard Wang Xiao's question, Guo Xiao's heart moved and he bent down to look at it carefully. Starting from the hair, appearance, and clothing, he carefully observed everything.
Just like Wang Xiao said, this person's condition was obviously very bad, but he still gritted his teeth and crawled towards the City Lord's Mansion. From this point of view, if he said that the other party had nothing to do with the City Lord's Mansion, even he would find it unbelievable.
However, after looking carefully for a long time, Guo Xiao could not find any information about the person in front of him from his memory. He raised his head and turned his eyes to the two old men of Kang and Zhao. Apart from his father, these two old men were the ones who knew the most about the City Lord's Mansion.
However, the two old men never looked away. When they saw Guo Xiao looking at them, they shook their heads helplessly.
Seeing this scene, Wang Xiao impatiently stretched out his foot and gently pushed the young man lying on the ground over.
The moment the young man was turned over, a soft "Hey" came out from the crowd. Everyone looked around and found that it was Ikari who had shown indifference before.
"Does Miss Yi know this person?" Su Jian asked, asking everyone's doubts.
Her eyes were fixed on the young man in front of her, but she was not looking at his appearance, because Ikari had long been sure that she did not know the person in front of her. At this moment, her eyes were fixed on the young man's chest, where she could see a streak of
A hideous wound.
I don't know whether the wound was condensed due to the cold weather or because of the treatment. In short, the wound where the flesh had been rolled over could no longer see blood flowing out at this moment.
But what's even more weird is that the exposed muscles on the chest have turned gray-brown, and traces of scratching can be clearly seen around the chest.
If these marks don't seem special to others, when they fall into Ikari's eyes, they immediately remind her of the effects of animal blood essence invading the body.
Leaning down, Ikari stretched out a finger and inserted it into the wound on her chest. The green-white jade finger went directly into the depth of the wound and stirred it gently.
Others didn't feel anything special. Ikari's movements seemed to be searching for something in the wound, looking for something inside the wound.
Only Ikari knows that now she has almost found the answer she wants, and all that is left is to further verify the accuracy of this answer.
As her fingers stirred, the spiritual energy in her body began to move slowly, and a very special set of skills slowly started to operate. This set of skills has only appeared recently in the entire Kunxuan Continent, and it has only recently appeared.
Suddenly a group of human warriors came to practice.
This skill does not come from humans, but from the Nether clan of the vicious beast lineage. The skill was obtained from amber, and was later taught to Ikari, Tang Bin and others. Through this set of skills, they
These warriors who have been transformed by the essence of animal blood can start practicing again.
Now that this set of exercises was running, Ikari soon noticed the strange movement in her fingers, and traces of energy that had a nourishing effect on her penetrated into her fingertips.
The moment she noticed that trace of power, Ikari already knew it and slowly pulled her hand out of the opponent's chest wound.
Turning to look at the people around her, Ikari explained calmly: "I don't know this person, I just know this person's injuries, because his injuries have attracted my attention just now, that's all."
.”
Ikari's explanation was very simple, and even seemed to be perfunctory. But even if she told these people clearly, she was lying and perfunctory, and Su Jian, Wang Xiao and others had nothing to do with her.
On the contrary, Su Jian was the most carefree. Since Ikari didn't want to explain clearly, he didn't ask further questions and just asked casually.
"Do you want to rescue him?"
This question is indeed simple, but it is also the first question that Ikari considers after finding out the situation in the other party's body.
Without hesitating for too long, just as Xing Jian asked so casually, Ikari said calmly: "In this case, let's take this kid back first."
Without asking any more questions, Su Jian just turned to Su Qiang and said, "Please make arrangements. Carry this person with us to the City Lord's Mansion first, and then arrange for him to be transferred to our Su family later."
At this point, Su Jian couldn't help but look at Ikari again and asked, "Do you have any other requirements?"
Shaking her head, Ikari said nonchalantly: "Just give him whatever he stutters. There is no need to help him heal his injuries. There are no requirements for the place, as long as he can accommodate him."
Although a little surprised, Su Jian nodded, turned to Su Qiang and said: "Do as Miss Yi said, go ahead."
Without any hesitation, Su Qiang turned around and arranged for people to come and carry the young man away from the snow nest. After experiencing the previous battle, Su Qiang, although he did not say it, already had infinite admiration for Ikari in his heart.
I have special trust in him.
If Ikari hadn't found her in time, if she hadn't arranged for herself to be on guard against Wang Zheng and protect Wang Xiao, it would be really difficult to estimate the outcome of the Su and Wang families.
Others were also somewhat curious about the young man, but since Su Jian and the others did not ask further questions, they naturally did not hesitate to ask more questions. Everyone continued to move forward in silence, heading towards the City Lord's Mansion not far away.
Ikari, who left with the group, did not look at the young man again, but the finger that had just touched the young man's wound was constantly rubbing against his thumb in his sleeve.
'There is no mistake. It is the energy of the essence of animal blood, and it has penetrated deeply into the flesh. Judging from the extent of its influence, it should be correct. It is the one I used on the old man's palm before.'
When Ikari got up, she had already determined where the animal blood essence in the young man in front of her came from. At this time, she ignored the young man, but her thoughts slowly began to revolve around the young man.
Yin Yue didn't know what the effect and power of the beast blood essence was, but because it couldn't be easily discharged from the body, Yin Yue was a little confused.
If the essence of animal blood is allowed to spread continuously in his hands, within an hour, the old man will find that although the essence of animal blood is troublesome, the damage to the body will not be too serious.
However, with the old man's cultivation in the God Refining Stage, and with some time and experience, ten days and a half would be enough to completely suppress the impact of the beast blood essence on the body. When Ikari used the beast blood essence,
There was no intention to take the other party's life with this, it was just a temporary measure to force the old man back under the circumstances.
But now the beast blood essence that should have been in the old man's body has appeared in the body of such an unknown young man. Looking at the young man's appearance when he was found, it is obvious that he helped the old man absorb the beast blood essence, and it was not from him.
original intention.
However, the stab wound appeared flat on the chest, more like it was caused by a sudden attack by the young man without preparation, indicating that the young man and the old man must have known each other, and may even have a subordinate relationship.
So far, the identity and background of the old man are still a mystery. The young man who appeared in front of him struggled to climb here, which shows how strong his will to survive is. In this case, this young man is likely to be an important clue to unlock the identity and background of the old man. Therefore,
Only then did Ikari decide to rescue him.
For this reason, Ikari also doesn’t want people with the essence of beast blood to be discovered by other forces. If someone has some knowledge and understanding of beast blood, or the ferocious beast clan, they might be able to see some clues from it.
.
After keeping the young man by his side and digging out the secrets from him, he can also completely obliterate him, so that no one can get the news about the beast blood essence from him.
Silently calculating in his mind, he followed Su Jian and others to the City Lord's Mansion. There was thick white snow piled above the huge door of the palace, and there were only two poor bone-refining period guards at the door, standing alone at the door.
Seeing such a large group of people approaching, I was so frightened that my legs were weak. Fortunately, the two old men from Kang and Zhao at the front were recognized by them, so they did not run away first.
The two old men Kang and Zhao directly opened the door and introduced everyone into the mansion. Since they were only staying here temporarily, there were no specific arrangements. Instead, they were arranged in the main hall and side halls of the mansion, as well as in several idle warehouses.
.
Originally, Guo Tong once enjoyed great success in Kuocheng, but now that the city lord's palace has lost power, Nuo Da's palace is now empty, and hundreds of warriors can easily arrange it.
Guo Xiao found a very secluded wing and invited Su Jian and others there. Although it was less than an hour before dawn, no one was tired at all.
