"What?" Lin Xiu was taken aback, thinking of the Blood Demon Clan's pursuit, and asked cautiously, "Did the Great Elder ask about the identity of the person who came?"

Chuan He smiled very strangely Lin Xiu's reaction, he shook his head, "I didn't have time to ask, because when that person came, he was covered in blood, and even his entire left arm was cut off." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He took his last breath to say your name and fainted. However, although his clothes were all tattered and stained with blood, the old man could see that it seemed to be a mercenary uniform. ”

Is it a member of the Dragon Elephant Mercenary Group?

Lin Xiu's heart breathed a sigh of relief, his expression flickered, and he hesitated for a moment before he said, "Great Elder, you can take me over." ”

Although Xiao Yubing and Xiao Qingyun abandoned themselves and fled, after all, the two sides signed a mercenary agreement.

Soon, under the leadership of the Great Elder, Lin Xiu came to a room, and at this moment, on a bed in the room, a middle-aged man with a scarred face and an extremely pale face was lying. His breath was extremely weak, intermittent, and it seemed that he would be completely out of breath in the next second.

Lin Xiu frowned, and when he took a few steps closer and saw the middle-aged man's face clearly, his face changed in an instant.

Because this seriously injured and dying middle-aged man turned out to be Xiao Zhan!

The head of the guard of the Dragon Elephant Mercenary Regiment once saved his own Xiao Zhan!

"What? do you really know him?" Seeing Lin Xiu's face, Chuan He asked with a smile.

"He saved my life. Lin Xiu's voice became low, and then he immediately walked over and began to observe.

The injuries on Xiao Zhan's body were extremely serious, and at this moment, his left arm was completely lost from his shoulder, apparently cut off by a sharp weapon during the battle, and although it had been treated with herbs, there was still blood slowly oozing out.

And on his chest and abdomen, there were countless shocking scars, and when Lin Xiu took off his blood-soaked shoes, he found that the soles of his feet were full of worn blood blisters, it was hard to imagine how he could walk step by step and even climb to the Divine Presence Academy under such a serious injury.

Lin Xiu's expression became even heavier, and without hesitation, he urged the golden qi on his body to bathe Xiao Zhan's body, and this time he tried his best without the slightest reservation. The Great Elder behind him looked at Lin Xiu's solemn expression and quietly exited the room.

Time passed quietly, and after a full hour of such a golden qi treatment, the wounds on Xiao Zhan's body were basically healed, and the originally weak aura was also a lot calmer, and the situation at least temporarily saved his life.

"Hmm......"

A painful wail came out of his mouth, and then Xiao Zhan's eyelids moved slightly, and he opened his eyes with difficulty.

The bloodshot eyes burst out with endless surprise when he saw Lin Xiu, he supported his right hand, struggled for a while and seemed to want to get up, but was quickly gently held down by a pair of hands, "Brother Xiao Zhan, the injury in your body is too serious, it's better not to move." ”

"Hmm...... Hmm...... Xiao Zhan wanted to speak, but his injuries were too serious, his breath was not smooth, and he couldn't say a complete sentence at all, his face was extremely anxious, his bloodshot eyes were full of endless tears of pain, his teeth were clenched, and blood began to ooze out again.

There was a sour feeling in his heart, and Lin Xiu continued to use his golden qi to heal his injuries while saying softly, "Brother Xiao Zhan, you don't have to worry. I know you're going to talk, and now that I ask you, you just have to nod or shake your head. ”

Xiao Zhan's face softened slightly, and he quickly nodded.

Lin Xiu calmed down, thought for a while and asked in a low voice, "Is there something wrong with the Dragon Elephant Mercenary Group?"

Xiao Zhan nodded again.

Seeing the other party nodding, Lin Xiu frowned and continued, "Then, the Dragon Elephant Mercenary Group is obviously in an extremely dangerous situation, and you broke through the interception and escaped, but you came to the Divine Presence Academy thousands of miles away. I think Xiao Yubing should have called you, right? She wants me to help the mercenary group?"

Xiao Zhan nodded even more exhaustively, unaware of the wounds.

Lin Xiu's face was a little more hesitant.

He has always had clear grievances, Xiao Zhan saved his life at the beginning, he risked his identity to be exposed to help the caravan defeat the bandits, it can be said that he has repaid most of his kindness! But later, the mercenary group's calculations really chilled him, especially the hooligan-style coercion made him angry several times.

If it weren't for the existence of the mercenary agreement, Lin Xiu would have torn his face with the mercenary group a long time ago, and it was even very likely that he would turn against each other.

What Lin Xiu hated most in his life was betrayal and calculation, and the high-level of the mercenary group undoubtedly touched his scales.

Yes, if Xiao Zhan himself was hunted down and killed, Lin Xiu would protect him even if he died, but this time it involved the entire mercenary group, a mercenary group that only had personal interests with him and did not have the slightest friendship, Lin Xiu didn't want to and didn't need to wade into this troubled water.

Looking at the anxiety in Xiao Zhan's eyes, Lin Xiu's expression flickered, he sighed secretly in his heart, and said in a low voice, "Brother Xiao Zhan, you should cultivate well first, as for the matter of the mercenary group, we will talk about it when you are injured." ”

"Hmm......" Lin Xiu just wanted to get up, but at this time, Xiao Zhan grabbed his arm tightly.

The countless wounds on his right arm collapsed because of this movement, and the blood continued to ooze out but was completely gone, Xiao Zhan obviously heard Lin Xiu's euphemistic refusal, and tears continued to flow out of the blood-red tiger's eyes, begging and pain intertwined in his eyes, "Cloud...... Cloud...... Brother, beg ......"

Seeing that this iron-blooded man in the past was full of despair at the moment, Lin Xiu couldn't bear to turn his face, but he still said ruthlessly, "Brother Xiao Zhan, Lin Xiu is just a spirit general, even if he goes, it won't help." ”

After saying this, Lin Xiu felt his grip on his hand loosen, but just when he thought that Xiao Zhan had given up, he heard the latter say with difficulty, "This...... This is...... ...... Gaze"

Lin Xiu turned his face and saw Xiao Zhan struggling to take something out of his arms. And when Lin Xiu saw clearly what he had taken out, his face changed drastically, and his eyes were staring at that thing without the slightest shift!

In Xiao Zhan's hand, it was a gourd-shaped cyan demon core, the demon core was shriveled and convex, and it was obvious that the energy in it had been absorbed by people.

It was this ordinary magic core, but it made Lin Xiu's hands tremble, he took the magic core, and gently stroked it with his hand, feeling the remaining dead qi and aura in it.

Lin Xiu closed his eyes.

That night of heavy rain, the crazy spring, and the gentle sentence "Don't be afraid, I will wait for you here", all the originally blurred pictures continued to become clear, and finally in my mind, gradually condensed into a poignant and glamorous face.

It turned out to be her, but why didn't you tell me......

Lin Xiu tightly grasped the demon core in his hand, I don't know how long it took for him to open his eyes, and this time there was a trace of tenderness and hatred on his face, and his gaze looked through the door into the distance thousands of miles away.

There, it is the direction of the imperial capital, and it is also the direction of the Dragon Elephant City.

"You, you must wait for me. ”
