Chapter Seventy-Two: Drinking Blood
Blue sky......
Through the dense foliage overhead, he saw the blue sky.
Blue sky and white clouds.
The body was warm, and the golden light shone on the body through the shade of the trees, and there was a slight dance of water vapor in the light. The leaves are beaded with water, which slowly rolls and eventually converges at the tips of the leaves and drips. He could almost see the tiny hairs on the leaves, like the hairs on a girl's cheeks, and in such an environment, they made people feel happy and soothing.
There was a sound of footsteps beside him, and Kitagawa Qingming probed his face, his eyes were red: "You woke up, how do you feel?" Does it matter? ”
Li Zhen looked at her blankly for a moment, and grinned weakly when she began to dangle her fingers in front of her eyes: "The Ice King will cry too?" ”
The girl was stunned for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief, the nervousness and worry on her face disappeared, and she was replaced by a slightly shy smile: "You scared me to death - who said I cried, my eyes were blistered by the sea." Your eyes aren't red yet. ”
Listening to her full of anger, it seems that there is nothing serious. So Li Zhen smiled again: "How long has it been?" How about now? ”
Kitagawa Qingming put his hand around his head, his chest was softly attached to his shoulder, and helped Li Zhen up: "It's all gone." By...... That thing scared away. She turned her head to look at the "eggs" not far away.
A hole in the ice cracked, revealing the body of the egg. It was stained with a thin layer of sea salt grains and dead branches, and a layer of hoarfrost on the surface. Only now it's as motionless as it used to be, as if it's dead.
But both of them knew that species weren't that easy to die.
This move. It hurts like a tear in my back. But Li Zhen gritted his teeth and raised his hand to touch the back. Luckily, no external injuries.
Beichuan helped him to stand up: "I've seen it, there are no lacerations on my body, I'm just worried that you will bleed internally - how do you feel?" ”
Li Zhen frowned slightly and took a few deep breaths, then slowly stretched out his arms and raised his legs, and breathed a sigh of relief: "There shouldn't be any big problem." ”
Then he froze.
What the...... Himself, wearing a skirt made of twigs and leaves??
He glanced up at Kitagawa Harumi, and both of them turned red-faced.
But...... The combat uniform, which was originally tied around the waist, certainly wouldn't have been so strong. In the situation last night, I don't know where I lost it.
But it's embarrassing - it's the second time, right?!
But Kitagawa coughed. Pretend to be calm: "It's not a big deal." They are all sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes. Why don't you pay so much attention. ”
Li Zhen had to grin.
As a matter of fact...... It hurts a little bit. It seems that there is still seawater left in the branches and leaves, slimy and a little uncomfortable.
He quickly diverted the topic and diverted his attention: "Hmm...... Thank you—but what's going on with that thing? ”
It's useless to ask. Neither of them could figure it out.
And Kitagawa Harumi has already pierced a coconut with a branch. Wiped his hands and wiped them. Hand it to him: "I picked it up in the woods, and there are many more." But the knife was not found, and the fire was gone. I guess we'll only have to eat this today. ”
Li Zhen took it and took a big sip. The salty and astringent taste in his mouth was finally washed down.
He looked closely at the girl across from her—she had several thin abrasions on her face, and the blood had solidified on her face. Her appearance is actually "feminine", and her nose and mouth are small and delicate types. However, with these small scars, he looks a little more mature - more like the "King of Ice and Wind" in his impression.
However, Beichuan obviously still had some mind about that incident - now she turned around, avoided Li Zhen's gaze, and whispered, "It's strange." Their capabilities should have been limited. This thing...... It saved us. But what does it do for it? ”
"Or save itself." Li Zhen straightened the "leaf skirt". He felt that he had no image at all now, so he simply ignored it.
"The dragon was targeting the two of us, but it was going to swallow it at the time, maybe this thing felt threatened." He walked around the egg, the branches and stones under his feet tingling, "But last night, those dragons undoubtedly used their abilities—they were making waves. This thing also uses abilities...... Where did it come from? ”
He frowned and clenched his fists.
Kitagawa Harumi stared at him for a while without saying a word. Li Zhen felt her gaze and looked at herself: "Huh? ”
"Your body...... There are no wounds. Kitagawa Qingming said in a low voice, his eyes gradually lit up, "Look at your hand again, is the wound still there?" ”
These words were like a bolt of lightning that struck Li Zhen's mind, he opened his mouth slightly, and then raised his left hand to his eyes.
Gone.
The wound was gone!
There was only a faint white mark left on the belly of the finger, but it was still skin and flesh yesterday afternoon.
He looked at his arm again in disbelief—smooth and flat, with only a few wet leaves.
Last night's experience won't be unscathed, right?!
He suddenly remembered the events of yesterday's day.
Breaking the hard shell of the fiddler crab with a single blow and lifting the tire-sized seashell was effortless......
Is that because your strength is growing?
Or since yesterday...... Your own abilities are recovering?!
Yes. Otherwise, where did you get the strength to throw a big living person in the air last night?!
A sudden ecstasy filled his body. Li Zhen was so excited that he smashed his fist on a branch with a thick bowl mouth next to him - the branch shattered in response! There were a few scratches on the back of his hand, but the scratches were like water and disappeared in a blink of an eye, and healed quickly.
He looked at Kitagawa Harumi excitedly: "What about you?" How does it feel? ”
But Kitagawa shook his head: "I'm still me." But anyway - if you can recover your abilities, you can take me out of here, and we'll be out of the rut eventually. ”
"Good, good, good." Li Zhen paced a few steps in place, "We have to think of a way to find a hiding place first." If these guys will rush up tonight, at least they can dodge. Until my abilities are restored, we will stay away from them......"
His gaze fell on the branch that had been broken just now, and he groaned slightly: "How do you think of digging a tunnel here?" If they go berserk again, we'll take refuge in them. But it's not clear if they're seeing us or smelling us...... The soil layer should be able to isolate the two of us......"
He said a lot of things alone, but Kitagawa Qingming has been silent.
She watched the golden sunlight in the forest shine on Li Zhen's body, and her brows furrowed slightly.
Then she turned her head to look at the ocean in the distance.
It's still as calm as yesterday – it's hard to imagine that such a calm sea could set off the same huge waves as last night. The dragons have settled down. Two huge shadows could be seen swimming slowly in the water, as if they were tired from last night's madness and were resting right now.
Those things......
And that egg......
Her gaze fell on the crack.
I looked at Li Zhen's left hand again.
Suddenly, he said, "I don't think they're going to come tonight." ”
Li Zhen was slightly stunned: "What?" ”
"Your hand was cut yesterday." She pondered it and said slowly, "I haven't touched the water since I cut it...... I touched that seashell. Wrong...... When you went to wash the shells, did your left hand get wet? ”
Li Zhen blinked, as if realizing what she was about to say.
"Nope. At that time, I had something wrapped around my hand, and I did it with my right hand. ”
Beichuan nodded, and his voice became slightly faster: "Then the first time your blood flowed out was after the rain." You go to wash your hands in the rain, and your blood is washed into the sea by the rain. Do you think, are they mad because of your blood? Or—"
"Is it because of your blood that you have the ability at that time?"
Li Zhen didn't speak for a long time.
"Later, did you also use your left hand to prop up here?" She pointed to the crack in the ice, "Your left hand was frozen last night, and I thought it was going to be scrapped, but later it was thawed and you regained some of your abilities." So is it because of your blood......"
"This egg also has the power for the time being, saving itself and saving us!? Oh, my God...... Who the hell are you? ”
"This ......," Li Zhen took a deep breath, "you mean to say that my blood has temporarily broken through the confines of this island - how is it possible?" ”
"How else to explain it!" Kitagawa Qingming stepped forward and took Li Zhen's hand, and leaned over, "Give it to me!" Let's give it a try! ”
Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, felt his face tighten, and quickly pulled his hand back: "...... What are you talking about. ”
"Give me your blood, give me a drink!" She didn't care about Li Zhen's awkward expression, "Maybe my ability can be restored too!" ”
Li Zhen stared at her for a long time before he whispered, "You...... Do you really want to try? ”
"How could I not try?"
"But you have to remember, I once fused with Chiyou." He said in a deep voice, "I fused Chiyou, and I have its will in my body. If you drink my blood, aren't you afraid that something else will happen? ”
Kitagawa Qingming bit his lip: "I'm not afraid." ”
"But I'm afraid—I'm afraid I'll hurt you!"
Beichuan Qingming raised his head slightly and looked at Li Zhen seriously: "You went berserk, I brought you here, which can be regarded as saving you." You threw me up again last night, almost got eaten yourself, and saved me again. We've come and gone so many times, what are you afraid of? Are you worried that I'll rely on you? What I hate even more is the feeling of watching you desperately try to do anything about yourself! ”
Li Zhen had to sigh in his heart.
This girl......
It's the same as Kozon.
Why are they all so strong?
He could only nod helplessly, looked at Beichuan Qingming's light brown pupils, and whispered, "Okay, I'll give you my blood to drink." (To be continued.) )
