"We meet again."

Wu Er, holding the stone, smiled at the pretty woman.

The pretty woman raised an eyebrow at Wu Er, slightly surprised, and said, "It's you?"

"It's me, young lady, we really are destined to meet."

Wu Er tossed the blood-stained stone aside, then wiped his face with his sleeve to make himself look cleaner.

The pretty woman nodded upon hearing this and said, "It really is fate that I've met you twice, and this time you even saved me. Alright, this time I, Kunwu, owe you a favor."

“Miss Kun, you can’t say that!” Upon hearing this, Wu Er waved his hand repeatedly, “You saved me last time, this time I’m repaying you.”

Kun Wu ignored Wu Er's words and looked at the monster lying on the ground.

Wu Er also tilted his head slightly to look at the monster. He had encountered the monster twice at night and had not been able to see its appearance clearly.

Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that this monster looks truly strange.

Its body shape is similar to that of a human, but it is covered in hair, and its forelimbs are neither quite like hands nor quite like claws, making it look extremely strange.

Wu Er, also holding the strange object, asked, "By the way, what exactly is this thing?"

Kunwu replied, "It's a demon who has cultivated the wrong path. It can neither transform into its original form nor into a human. It can only survive in this form."

A demon who has gone astray... There are demons like this?

This was the first time Wu Er had heard this argument. It sounded quite pitiful, but even if it was pitiful, it didn't justify killing people on sight!

At this moment, Kunwu suddenly took a few steps forward and came to stand in front of the monster, then squatted down.

Seeing this, Wu Er asked, "What are you doing?"

"Let's see if this thing is really dead." Kunwu explained, "This thing is very cunning, and we're afraid it might be playing dead."

Wu Er nodded in agreement.

He had experienced the monster's cunning firsthand; Wu Er was almost killed by it when he was led into the forest.

Kunwu, who had crouched down, reached out and placed his hand on the monster's neck, wanting to test whether it was truly dead.

The moment his hand touched hers, Kunwu's expression changed immediately.

Wu Er's gaze never left Kun Wu, so he naturally noticed Kun Wu's unusual expression.

Suddenly, his mind raced, and he immediately realized why Kun Wu had that expression.

That's because the monster isn't completely dead yet; it's just pretending to be dead!

Thinking of this, Wu Er took action, picking up a stone that had been thrown aside and throwing it at the monster.

At the same moment, the monster's red eyes flashed, and then it suddenly lunged forward, slashing at Kun Wu with its claws.

The monster attacked suddenly, and Kunwu was quite close, so there was really no way to dodge this attack.

"snort......"

Kun Wu groaned, and then a gash was torn open in his lower abdomen. Although the gash was not deep, the pain from the injury to his lower abdomen spread throughout his body.

The pain caused Kunwu's nerves to go numb for a moment, and then his body went numb as well.

"Go to hell!"

At this moment, Wu Er swung a stone and smashed it down, opening another gash in the monster's head.

After another opening was made, the red light in the monster's eyes dimmed, and then its whole body twitched. It seemed that it was finally dead.

On one side, Kunwu clutched his bleeding abdomen, his face deathly pale.

Although she had some cultivation, it wasn't very profound, and her physical strength wasn't high, so this was quite a serious injury.

Fortunately, Wu Er smashed the stone in time, cracking open the head of the monster that was pretending to be dead.

If that monster were to grab Kunwu again, she would most likely die on the spot.

However, the situation at Kunwu is not optimistic. With so much blood loss, it needs to be treated urgently.

Wu Er often takes care of his junior brothers and sisters, so he knows a little about methods for stopping bleeding and bandaging.

"Miss Kun, please don't move."

Wu Er said something anxiously, then tore a large piece of cloth from his clothes and folded it several times.

At this moment, Wu Er said again, "Take your hand away a bit, let me treat your wound first."

After saying that, he thought for a moment and added, "It might hurt a little, just bear with it for a bit."

Upon hearing Wu Er's words, Kun Wu slowly released his grip, revealing his still bleeding abdomen.

At this moment, Wu Er grabbed a handful of soil from the ground and rubbed it onto Kun Wu's lower abdomen.

Although using soil to treat the wound is somewhat unhygienic and could easily lead to infection, the most important thing right now is to stop the bleeding in Kunwu, so we can't worry about infection.

To put it bluntly, it's a case of grasping at straws when one is desperate.

And you know what? This folk remedy really works! It actually stopped the bleeding in my lower abdomen. Although it's still seeping out a little, at least it's not as turbulent as before.

Afterwards, Wu Er wrapped the torn piece of cloth around Kun Wu's lower abdomen, and this extremely rough bandaging was considered complete.

"Um……"

Kunwu couldn't help but groan softly in pain.

Wu Er pursed his lips, thinking that such a rough bandage wouldn't do any good, so he decided to take Kun Wu back to the small temple.

There are still some herbs left in the temple; we should quickly give Kunwu some herbs.

"Can you still walk?"

Wu Er asked Ku Kun Wu a question.

Kunwu nodded slightly, tried to get up by supporting himself with his hands, but he sat back down on the ground after only getting up a little.

She seems to be very weak right now.

Wu Er took a deep breath, then came to Kun Wu's side. Ignoring the taboo of men and women not touching each other, he hugged her tightly and ran towards the small temple.

In the dead of night, the stars and moon hang high in the sky.
