Chapter Twenty-Three: One Night
Scarlet blood droplets were blown behind him by the wind, and in Li Fang's sight, the surrounding scenery was rapidly receding, and he and Annabelle had just struggled back from the Awoken.
He couldn't see what Anna's expression was like now, was she patient with severe pain or very anxious? All you could see was her slender back, and the huge wounds that were dripping blood from under the broken shoulder armor.
He only glanced at the bloody place and didn't dare to look at it again.
What the hell was I doing? Is it true that nothing can be done? If there was no fluke hesitation, I should have reacted quickly......
The joy of escaping death, resentment of his weakness, and some inexplicable emotions all collided in his heart, Li Fang gritted his teeth, and tears were accumulating in his eyes.
Running and running until she was exhausted, until the injuries could no longer be suppressed, Annabelle finally stopped. She put down Li Fang, leaning against the tree and gasping for breath, uncontrollable sweat sliding down her cheeks.
"Yes, escaped." Anna said this as if she had lost all her strength, and although she leaned against the tree like a detachment, she actually smiled.
"I survived, I'm an awakened one."
She herself didn't expect to be able to escape from the Awoken with one of them.
"Anna, I've used your ability to slowly recover from injuries, but I don't know how much it can do...... You, if you hurt, just say it. ”
Li Fang lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Annabelle's wound, as if he was admitting his mistake.
"Don't make that look," Anna calmed her rapid breathing, "As long as we can't die, no matter how serious the injury is, it doesn't matter to us." ”
"The next time you see Kimir, tell him the information about the discovery of the Awakened, and let the organization arrange for people to crusade."
"But you're an attacking sword!" Li Fang couldn't help but say: "I'm not sure, what if the hand chief doesn't come back?" ”
"Even so, one hand for our two lives is already worth it." Annabelle smiled: "It's just that you have to get used to wielding the sword with your left hand in the future, and if there is an inconvenience in the future, it will depend on you." ”
Even if you endure the pain of a broken arm, you have to laugh and comfort me, what a woman who loves to be strong.
"Okay."
Li Fang put away his overwhelmed look and said, "I will try my best to take care of you before the wound recovers, first deal with your wound first, and we will find a place to rest before dark." ”
……
Until dusk, the two followed the mountain trail they found and saw a dilapidated thatched hut on the side of the road that had been abandoned for a while.
Li Fang counted it, except for the iron sword he was carrying, his luggage was left on the way to escape Wally Town, but Li Fang found the flint by the stove of the thatched hut, and finally did not spend the night in the deep darkness.
When the flame is lit up, travelers resting in the wilderness always feel much more at ease.
Near the thatched hut, Li Fang found a water source and finally quenched his thirst, but his stomach was always empty, which was very uncomfortable.
But at this time, it was already dark, so I could only endure it for one night and find a way tomorrow morning......
"Hungry? I'm going to ......."
"No!" Li Fang interrupted Annabelle's words: "I can't die of hunger twice, but you have to pay more attention before you recover." Let's rest early tonight, and tomorrow we'll find another village or town along the road. ”
"Really...... All right. Annabelle smiled helplessly and agreed with Li Fang's idea, and a strange pale appeared on her cheeks, which had faded due to the fusion of demon flesh and blood.
If it weren't for the support of the refreshing crystal, she was afraid that she would not be able to go down this way.
Li Fang quickly cleaned up the sleeping place, and then wanted to help Anna lie down. But Anna refused, saying that it was better to rest on something.
Li Fang didn't insist much, just put some dry dead grass in front of the wall, and then helped Annabelle lean against it. Even with this simple action, Annabelle felt like she was in great pain, and she was now like an ordinary person after a strenuous exercise, with severe pain when she moved.
Looking at Anna's expression of barely holding back the pain, Li Fang couldn't imagine how much pain she silently endured during the period when she cut off her arm today, and then ran for her life.
The orange flame burned brightly, and the room was much drier and warmer. Annabelle experienced a day of twists and turns, and soon fell asleep, but Li Fang tossed and turned.
This night was the most uncomfortable night for Li Fang since he first came to this world, not only because he was really close to explaining it today, but also because Anna finally escaped by cutting off her right arm.
This made him feel very uncomfortable, Li Fang thought that he was not thick enough to let a woman be born and die for you and feel at ease, even if he was indeed weak like a burden now.
It is not too much to be careful in the future, Li Fang introspected in his heart, the daily routine that has been very smooth in the past three months has made him relax his vigilance, and even forget that this is a world where more strength means more freedom.
The security in front of us is all a false surface, and the deadly danger has long been brewing in the four places on the mainland, and only by working hard to the extreme can we survive in the end.
You can't hope that everything will play out according to the plot!
If you want to protect Anna, you will be enemies, including the Order and all the Awakened! And now my side is still very weak and has not grown, so everything must be done carefully.
The thoughts in his head kept surging, so that Li Fang barely fell asleep until very late, and between falling asleep, he suddenly thought that he seemed to have shed some tears today, in the end, what was it for?
……
The early morning sun slanted into the grass hut, but the flame that burned all night was not extinguished at this time.
There was a smell of barbecue lingering between his noses, was he hungry for too long, and even in his dream it was barbecue, Li Fang thought that he hadn't woken up yet.
But the aroma of barbecue meat became stronger and stronger, and the hunger that had not eaten for a long time was awakened little by little, Li Fang finally opened his eyes and fixed his eyes, it turned out to be Annabelle sitting in front of the bonfire, using her iron sword to skewer meat for barbecue.
I don't know what it is. In a daze, Li Fang hadn't reacted yet.
Wait a minute! Anna, she's okay?
Sitting up urgently, Li Fang opened his mouth and asked, "Are you well?" ”
His gaze shifted to Annabelle's right arm, which was still incongruously empty, and Li Fang's eyes darkened slightly.
"Remember the second time we met? It only took one night, and I recovered a lot from my fatal injuries at that time. Annabelle changed the side of the roast meat skewered by the iron sword and roasted it, and then said, "Now I am fine except for my arm, which is not fully recovered, so I get up a little early and prepare breakfast." ”
"The good news is that my right hand is growing, albeit slowly, and at this rate I expect it to be fully recovered in at least a week."
As she said this, Annabelle focused more on the roast in front of her, as if she was just saying something inconsequential.
"It's, it's great." Li Fang breathed a sigh of relief, it would be good if his arm could be restored, otherwise he could only find a big sword and ask for his arm like Claire in the original plot.
Last night, the first thing that came to mind was Cynthia, who was a defensive warrior and could regenerate her broken arm......
"Come on, it's yours." Annabelle gave Li Fang a large piece of steaming barbecue, leaving only a small portion for herself, but that was enough for her to eat.
Taking over the barbecue carefully prepared by Annabelle, Li Fang couldn't help but chew it, but he was immediately scalded, and he hissed while carefully lowering his mouth, and had to eat slowly.
"Be careful." Annabelle was amused by Li Fang's appearance, "Don't be anxious about anything, when your ability really grows up in the future, and when you meet this kind of awakened person again, we won't be as embarrassed as yesterday." ”
Annabelle knew this yesterday, and if it weren't for the passive effect of the corona, perhaps they would have been eviscerated corpses by now. This also made her re-evaluate Li Fang's abilities, because she had heard Li Fang say that he still had many abilities with different effects that he had not obtained.
You must know that this special skill should only be possessed by a small number of big swords, and most of these skills will greatly improve the overall strength of big swords. Now Li Fang's ability has given her a great impact, it turns out that he can not only strengthen the basic qualities of the big sword, such as demon power, arm strength, agility, etc., but can even give them special skills out of thin air!
Looking at the young man in front of him who was still carefully gnawing on the meat, Annabelle had great expectations for him.
