Chapter 3: Encounters in Fate
After the priest Fei Fei and Mu Ran left the main hall, a burly strong man appeared next to the old mayor, with heavy armor on his body, coupled with the sense of oppression brought by the huge and majestic figure, which could make the timid people frightened.
"Do you know why he was able to apply a normal stick to that extent?" it was a low, hoarse voice that came to the ears of the old mayor, who had been through countless battles thankfully. Because the appearance of this voice was without warning, the sudden appearance still startled him.
This man who suddenly appeared brought a strong sense of danger and a strong sense of security, but this feeling of contradiction was full of endless sadness, and there was a touch of indelible sadness and tingling in his slightly red pupils.
"I don't know, sir," the old mayor replied cautiously to the burly man's words. At the same time, he hurriedly saluted the middle-aged man. This middle-aged man came to this Prayer Spirit Hall a few days ago, and he couldn't be sure of this middle-aged man's identity and cultivation, he only knew that he came here from the main hall of the Warrior God Temple.
The middle-aged man retracted his gaze and said lightly: "Because Mu Ran is my son, he has the blood of the Titan God of War in his body that other warriors can't match, and he has an innate strong and incomparable talent for weapons. Otherwise, do you think he can unleash his potential to that extent in just one year, and you know how difficult it is to unleash spiritual power without the spiritual liquid?"
Mu Ran was very happy, and after coming out of the Prayer Spirit Son Hall, he separated from Pastor Fei Fei. Priest Fifi had promised to help him treat Aunt Mara. Although the treatment time has been extended until tomorrow, the priest needs to be fully prepared before the treatment.
Mu Ran cherished the small bottle in his hand and happily ran to his house outside the town.
This spiritual liquid belongs to me, and I have always wanted to drink it but have never drunk it. For the other children, the liquid was a bad potion. But for him, he did join the priest's temple.
He said to himself naturally as he walked: "What Da Niu said is indeed right, this bottle of spiritual liquid is really a good thing, since Aunt Marfa drank it, her physical condition has obviously improved a lot." I heard Sister Fei Fei say that today's bottle of spiritual liquid is completely hers. Aunt Mara has been drinking it for a year, and this lowliest potion has no effect on the body, I don't know if it's true or not?But if I don't do that today, I'll lose forever, and becoming a powerful priest may be able to save Aunt Mara. ”
If the other fighters heard Mu Ran's words, they would definitely be shocked. My eyes widened in surprise.
The spiritual liquid is a kind of medicine issued by His Royal Highness the priest, and its main effect is to cultivate the sensitivity of the child's body to spiritual power, so as to obtain spiritual power through cultivation. This magical potion is the same thing as the Pei Yuanye used by those combat professionals engaged in melee combat, the difference between the two is that the spiritual liquid can make the body sense spiritual power, and the other effect is to slowly increase spiritual power. Pei Yuan liquid slowly increases the strength of the body.
Mu Ran almost didn't become a priest today, mainly because he had never taken this kind of spiritual liquid that laid a good foundation for his body, but he just relied on the powerful intention to heal Aunt Mara's body, and supported this kind of high-intensity cultivation, and in this case, he forced his body to break through to ten points of spiritual power.
For Mu Ran, who is still a child, the difficulty of this can be imagined. It even exceeds the difficulty of becoming a senior pastor, which is what a talent and hard work can do.
The light of the setting sun fell on Mu Ran's body, which looked so dazzling, and at the same time it also shone with his heart like gold.
Mu Ran's home is located on a hill outside the town, where many medicinal herbs grow that are good for the body, and the corner is very remote, even accessible through a small river. Soon he crossed the only single-plank bridge, and instead of going home, he followed a path towards the forest on the edge of the town of Prayer.
It was his daily habit to go into the forest before returning home to find some herbs that were good for his body and all kinds of game and wild vegetables to nourish Aunt Mara's body. Walking into the forest, he quickly searched for it. This is a habit he and Aunt Mara have developed in the past few days. Even in the whole town, their lives are the most difficult, and the children of the so-called poor families are in charge of the family at an early age. While other children of his age were only playing around their parents, he knew how to take the initiative to share some of Aunt Mara's work, and at the same time began his career as an herbalist. Because he thinks Aunt Mara is his mother.
After a while, the ground was filled with a lot of unknown herbs and various game. These are too familiar to Mu Ran, although these are just simple wild vegetables and wild fruits, but the taste and nutrition are not bad. Growing up, he didn't eat any less of these things.
Just as Mu Ran was packing up these things, a sudden "poof" sound startled him, there are still some wild beasts in this small forest.
Mu Ran walked cautiously in the direction of the sound, and saw a thin little girl lying in the bushes, her clothes had long been cut by the branches, and the bloody wounds were exposed through her clothes. Driven by curiosity, he walked cautiously. I saw the little girl lying on the ground and snorting in pain. I don't know if I was attacked by some beast or something.
The little girl looked to be seven or eight years old, with a very slender body and lilac hair. Although it was hurt to this extent, his purple eyes revealed unyielding faith, and he always wanted to struggle to get up from the ground.
Mu Ran walked over quickly, helped her up and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
The little girl was also startled, and her body moved subconsciously, and only then did she react and meet someone, and only then did she see Mu Ran's appearance.
At this time, Mu Ran saw the miserable appearance of this little girl clearly, her beautiful little face had already been scratched by the branches, there was blood on the corners of her mouth, and her body was dirty, although she was so embarrassed. The little girl's body still reveals this inexplicable amazing feeling. Her beauty is different from Mu Ran. Mu Ran's beauty gives people a very natural and harmonious feeling, but this little girl's temperament is mixed with a kind of coldness and murderous intent. This feeling made Mu Ran frightened.
"Are you alright? Mu Ran asked again.
The little girl said in a weak voice: "Little sister, thank you, there are bad people chasing me, I can't do it anymore, you leave quickly." “
Hearing her words, Mu Ran was startled, but when she heard this little girl call her sister, Mu Ran had a black line on her head.
"I'm an older brother, not a sister, you'll be fine with me. Driven by compassion, Mu Ran just complained depressedly, and still helped her check her body. He gently picked up the little girl and got out of the bushes, anyway, he now has ten points of spiritual power, and his physical fitness is extremely close to that of an adult. It's easy to pick up a little girl. This little girl's body is extraordinarily light, and it is not a burden to hold it at all.
After picking her up, Mu Ran walked towards the open space where he had stacked his herbs. And the little girl was anxiously tugging at the hem of his shirt.
Mu Ran frowned and shook his head slightly: "No, I'm a man, I want to protect you, I'm still a third-order herbalist, you'll be fine." Even though he was still a child, he still felt the fortitude revealed between his words.
"Does it smell of blood?" Mu Ran quickly crushed the wild fruit he had just picked, smearing the juice on the little girl's body and his clothes. The strong smell of blood was quickly neutralized, and then he took out a few herbs from the ground, put them in his clothes, and ran away with the little girl in his arms like another bush.
In a relatively low place, he carefully put the little girl on the ground, and then climbed up cautiously, supporting his body with both hands, not touching the little girl, but completely blocking her with his body.
Mu Ran had just hidden, but there was a swishing wind outside, and he looked cautiously from the bushes. Seeing a group of burly men in black, with weapons behind their backs, there was a faint smell of blood, but several of them inhaled hard.
"Why did the smell of blood stop here, could it be that the little girl was given by the master and left?" asked one of the men in black in a hoarse voice, and the shrill and unpleasant sound startled the birds on the branches.
Through the sunlight shining between the shadows of the trees, Mu Ran could see the faces of several black-clothed people clearly, and he almost screamed. For the faces of those men were covered with black cats, protruding mouths and noses like waves, sharp teeth protruding upwards from the lips, and dull yellow eyes glowing pale green in the shadows of the trees.
At this moment, a cold voice broke the heavy aura: "Let's stop here, since you are all here, there is no need for you to go back." ”
A crystal clear light suddenly appeared in the air, drawing a poignant arc, flashing in the forest like lightning, and the shadows of the trees correspondingly interesting, quickly flashed a few times, and the bodies of the terrifying black-clothed men who chased after them fell stiffly and fell heavily to the ground.
When he wanted to see everything clearly, he was shocked to find that the people who had fallen to the ground just now had disappeared, leaving only a middle-aged man in white standing there quietly.
The man in white slowly turned around and said lightly in the direction where Mu Ran was hiding, "Come out."
