Volume 1: Kitazawa Volume Chapter 44: The Cruel World

"Whirring ......"

There was a snowstorm outside the cave again, and Ye Xuan had just found a cave but found that there was a sleeping giant bear inside, which was a first-class spirit beast. Ye Xuan had no choice but to go in alone and kill it while it was asleep, and his right arm was injured again halfway, and he couldn't even hold the Ghost Tooth Sword, completely losing his combat effectiveness.

"Liu Ran, don't sleep, wake up!

Ye Xuan called out to Liu Ran tiredly, trying to awaken her consciousness. She was poisoned, once she fell asleep and her consciousness was lost, plus her body was weak, the speed of the toxin attack would definitely accelerate, and then Ye Xuan would really have no choice at all.

"Water ......," Liu Ran muttered, opening his chapped lips.

"You wait!" Ye Xuan lay on her lips and understood, and then ran out and filled some snow with a small bowl, put it on the fire and turned it into water, and then fed it to Liu Ran little by little. It took a long time for Liu Ran to wake up.

"I'm ...... Where...... Father, did Dye Er do something wrong again...... It hurts......" Liu Ran cried as soon as he woke up, muttering words that Ye Xuan couldn't hear clearly.

Ye Xuan's state is not much better than Liu Ran, his physical strength is completely exhausted and he has no combat effectiveness, even so, he has to guard against all kinds of dangers, and he has to find a way to save Liu Ran.

"Can you still mobilize your vitality to drive away the poison? You haven't been poisoned for a long time, you should be able to use your vitality, right?" Ye Xuan was also poisoned when he went out to practice with the mercenary group before, but the poisoning time was very short, and he could get rid of it by relying on his vitality.

"I don't have the strength...... I can't. Liu Ran squinted her eyes slightly and said weakly, because of the forcible summoning of the Holy Spirit Wind Knight, all her strength was used up, and she even used the family's secret method in the end, causing her strength to run out and she couldn't even stand up.

"Drink this first. Ye Xuan gently lifted Liu Ran and sent the medicinal liquid in the jade bottle into Liu Ran's mouth, fortunately, he exchanged some healing and antidote medicines with Lei Li at that time, which were all concocted by Lei Qianqian. Thinking of this, Ye Xuan's eyes also turned red.

Liu Ran knew what this was, and drank the medicine in silence.

"I'll try to see if I can suck the poison out, it might hurt a little bit, you can bear with it. Saying that, Ye Xuan moved Liu Ran to the wall and let her get closer to the fire, tore open the pants of her right leg, and immediately revealed the purple-black wound, the black toxin had moved up along her veins to its knee part, and when it extended to the heart vein, Liu Ran would be completely finished.

"You ......" Liu Ran's face suddenly turned red and wanted to retract his legs, gritting his teeth and turning his head away. At this time, her entire leg was exposed to Ye Xuan's gaze, although Ye Xuan didn't know that she was a daughter and treated her as a man, but it still made her feel very ashamed.

At the same time, Ye Xuan also has some differences, how can Liu Ran's body be as clean and smooth as a girl?

But this was also a momentary thought, Ye Xuan took out a bottle of oil from the Lie Feather Bow, and he brought a complete set of tableware, which was naturally indispensable for oil. After pouring the oil into his mouth, he rinsed it for a long time to spit it out, which he also learned from those old mercenaries, and when he sucked out the toxins, he could minimize the damage to people.

"It may hurt, bear with me!"

After Ye Xuan finished speaking, his lips leaned up, and he tried to suck her poisonous blood.

"Poof......

The first bite came out, Ye Xuan spit on the ground, her blood had completely turned black and purple, and there was a disgusting fishy smell. Ye Xuan held back his nausea and rinsed his mouth with oil to continue, Liu Ran's body was a little stiff and he didn't dare to move. At this moment, only Ye Xuan could save her, she didn't dare to resist, and no one could do anything if she didn't get the poison out.

"Poof......

Ye Xuan sucked out the poisonous blood again and again, until his lips began to turn purple as well. The light in the cave was too dim, and Liu Ran didn't notice Ye Xuan's abnormality, and Ye Xuan only felt a little dizzy, feeling that he might be too tired, so he sped up his movements.

After sucking Liu Ran's blood more than ten times, it turned blood red, and the toxin was almost sucked out, but there may still be some residue. After Ye Xuan finished cleaning up, he ripped off the clean clothes on his body and made strips of cloth to tie Liu Ran's thighs to prevent the invasion of those residual toxins.

At the same time, he soaked the cloth with wine to wipe the wound around, making Liu Ran's painful body tremble constantly, gritting his teeth and persevering.

Then Ye Xuan looked for the medicine that he had exchanged, found some detoxifying powder, and applied it to Liu Ran's wound and wrapped it with strips of cloth. After doing everything, Ye Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the ground.

"Yes, almost. Ye Xuan was lying by the fire and exhausted, as if his body was no longer his own. Next to her, Liu Ran curled up in a ball and hugged her knees, the firelight reflected in her tears like diamonds, even so she still felt very scared, she was really powerless now.

Her only reliance now is Ye Xuan, but Ye Xuan is not lightly injured and can't use his soul power, what if he throws himself away and runs away when he encounters danger again?

"You...... Will you leave me?"

Liu Ran curled up and buried her head deeply, she was afraid to see the look she didn't want to see, fear and despair filled her heart, even if there was a slight ripple, it could overflow that fear and despair and swallow her reason.

The most terrible thing she has ever seen is nothing more than that whoever in the family has made a mistake and has been beaten by the family law for a few or dozens of boards, and she has also been beaten. It only hurts for a few days at most, and it will soon heal with a good ointment.

Your life is like a flower garden in the sun, full of delicate flowers and colorful butterflies, beautiful as heaven.

And now that she saw the most basic rules of this world for the first time, her original worldview was instantly torn apart by wolf fangs, and it was unknown whether she could even survive.

Liu Ran has always believed that the outside world is so beautiful, there are adventures, songs, wine, meat, friends, and joy. She came out this time to meet a lot of people and make a lot of friends, she has never been so happy, and she feels like she lived in vain in the first half of her life.

This thought continued until the moment when Lei Qianqian died tragically in front of her. She watched the little girl's eyes gradually dilute, and she couldn't do anything with fear. At that time, he realized that all beauty is built on cruelty, like a hundred-foot dangerous building that can collapse when touched.

"We are friends!" Ye Xuan looked at Liu Ran: "Someone came to snatch the beast core before, you could have escaped and retreated, but in the end, you stayed and chose to protect us, just like I do now." ”

"If I wanted to drop it, you would have left it a long time ago. Why bother carrying you through the swamp like you for your life, and being chased by two barbarian wolf cavalry for a long time. Ye Xuan said it as if he was joking, and there was no trace of despair in his clear pupils.

Liu Ran's eyes suddenly froze when he looked at Ye Xuan, wasn't he afraid of death?

"Don't think nonsense, do you still have the elixir on you?" Ye Xuan remembered the bracelet on Liu Ran's hand before, she had said before that she had brought a lot of things, so she should have some elixir.

"Lost ...... I lost my ......" Liu Ran touched his wrist and found that the bracelet was missing. It may have been run away during the run just now, and suddenly Liu Ran cried angrily and fearfully, and tears kept flowing. It was a relic given to her by her mother, treasured for years but lost in the swamp.

"It's okay, don't cry. As long as people are alive, there will always be a way. Ye Xuan's head suddenly grew when he saw Liu Ran's posture, Liu Ran was crying like a girl at every turn, which made Ye Xuan at a loss, so he had to take out the only remaining snow wolf skin and drape it on Liu Ran's body.

"Rest well, you should be fine after tonight. Ye Xuan comforted, dragging the Ghost Tooth Sword to the entrance of the cave.

"Aren't you resting?" Liu Ran looked at Ye Xuan worriedly wrapped in a snow wolf skin.

It would take at least two days for that swamp to cross normally, and Ye Xuan ran wildly all night with himself on his back, and several spirit beasts were killed by Ye Xuan during the conflict, and there were two barbarian wolf cavalry chasing behind him.

Several times, Liu Ran thought that Ye Xuan's heart and lungs would burst due to high-intensity exercise, but miraculously he survived. Liu Ran was sure that Ye Xuan's body had long since been able to participate in the battle, and his condition was not much better than his own.

"I'm afraid that a spirit beast will break in. Ye Xuan stuck the Ghost Fang Sword at his feet and took a few sips of the liquor.

"And you're not in a stable situation, I need to see it. ”

"Thank you...... Thank you ......"

Liu Ran didn't know what to say, but wrapped the skin of the Snow Wolf King tightly. Smelling the faint smell of wolf skin, and looking at Ye Xuan who was sitting at the mouth of the cave, Liu Ran's panicked mood couldn't help but slowly relax, for some reason she felt a lot more relieved, and soon fell into a deep sleep......

Outside, the wind and snow were raging.

......

Ye Xuan sat by the fire, looking at the jade box containing the immortal fruit, his brows twisted, his eyes full of struggle.

After Liu Ran fell asleep, the situation was fine at first, after all, her strength was very strong and she had such a powerful battle spirit protector, but she didn't expect that in the second half of the night, Liu Ran's poisoning situation suddenly began to deteriorate, and the high fever did not go away.

The black poison line at the wound had spread to Liu Ran's thigh at a speed visible to the naked eye, which was definitely not a good sign, or the toxin would invade her heart in a few hours.

Ye Xuan tried all the means to stop the spread of the toxin, thought about it for a long time, and finally set his sights on this immortal fruit.

But this is a life-saving medicine for grandma......

Ye Xuan's hands were stuck in his hair and scratched wildly, and a nameless fire surged in his heart, making him feel an indescribable pain - who did he save?

Ye Xuan's purpose in desperately entering the Winter Spirit Ancient Realm was to find the elixir to treat his grandmother's illness, and he finally found it after going through hardships and dangers.

But there was a dying person in front of her, only the Immortal Fruit could save her life, this person had also lived with Ye Xuan, they were friends who helped each other, and they were one of Ye Xuan's few friends, she neither disliked Ye Xuan's identity, nor did she look down on Ye Xuan's status. and gave Ye Xuan a lot of help and helped Ye Xuan complete his dream of becoming a machine spirit master.

The cyan phantom before also helped him, and he could be regarded as saving his life. If you let yourself fail to survive and fall into a deep sleep, it is estimated that you will not be able to live here now. And he also promised the senior that he must protect Liu Ran, but now......

"Why...... It's going to be like this!" Ye Xuan grabbed his hair and roared, squatting on the ground with bloodshot eyes. Looking at the immortal fruit, his thoughts were confused, such a choice would not end well at all, not at all! Why did this happen? Could it be that the heavens were playing with themselves?

Ye Xuan suddenly felt extremely tired, this was the first time he was so desperate.

He rarely cries, even if he is wronged at home or outside. Because he thinks that those things can only be called pain or suffering, and cannot really be called sadness.

But now it's really unbearable.

The previous killing scene Ye Xuan would vomit as long as he thought about it, and became extremely excited, as if the wolf rider was still chasing after him. At the same time, the heartbeat will be abnormally accelerated, and the body can't help but want to run.

He pretended to be relaxed in front of Liu Ran, but he was actually afraid, he had never experienced such a thing like Liu Ran, how could it be light?

He still had the blood of the Thunderhawk Mercenary Group and those barbarians on his body, and the smell of blood kept lingering on the tip of his nose, making him unable to calm down at all. Now that he is being asked to make such a choice, he feels that he can't hold it anymore.

There is only one longevity fruit that is hard to come by, and it is difficult to find the next one when you use it. Although the Winter Spirit Ancient Realm is vast, it is limited after all, and now that the danger of barbarian invasion has deepened, it is even more difficult to find.

Ye Xuan grabbed his hair and looked sloppy, time waits for no one, and it will be too late if he doesn't do it.

The wind and snow outside the cave are raging, and I don't know how many corpses that have been trampled by barbarian wolf riders will be covered. The essence of this world was first revealed in front of Ye Xuan on a snowstorm night.

I just didn't expect it to be so cruel.

"I'm sorry......" Ye Xuan held the immortal fruit and looked at the sleeping Liu Ran, and was ruthless.
