“Okay.” Shirley paused, looking at the coordinates on the map: “This place is… the old Ancheng?”
"Okay." Linna said, "Don't drive straight, there are monsters in that direction, let's take a detour."
Sherry: "Mm."
At night, holding Lin Nai's completely shattered arm in both hands, she said with a pained expression, "It hurts a lot, doesn't it?"
Lin Nai grinned, his clothes completely soaked with cold sweat, and managed a weak smile: "A little."
"I'll help you heal." Ye Wan'er reached out her small hand and placed it on Lin Nai's chest to check on Lin Nai's condition.
After a while, the girl bit her lip and said, "This injury is too severe; using only soul power probably won't be enough."
Linna gave a wry smile: "Then I'll use the power of Cupid."
"Forget it, don't move," Ye Wan'er said. "Not only are your internal organs damaged, but your soul power nodes are also injured. Forcing yourself to use your abilities will cause further damage. By the way, where's the black crystal your aunt gave you?"
"Here." Lin Nai took out a black, dazzling crystal from her bosom with her left hand.
Nightfall took the black crystal, held it in her palm, and slowly clasped her hands together: "Darkborn—Heal!"
A dark red halo enveloped Linnaeus's body and began to rapidly heal him.
Sherry, who was driving, sensed the magic and turned around in surprise: "Magic?? You...?"
Now that things had come to this, Lin Nai no longer wanted to hide it from her.
After this observation, it has been basically confirmed that Sherry is a trustworthy ally.
Linna then told her their identities.
"What did you say?! You are...Lin Nai?!"
Sherry was stunned: "How is this possible?! Three years ago, I watched with my own eyes as you were sucked into the dimensional rift!"
"Look if you don't believe me." Lin Nai said, waving her left hand in front of her face, and she returned to her original appearance.
With another wave, he transformed into another young man.
"Is...it really you?"
Sherry was stunned: "But... how did you survive?? Were you not sucked into the dimensional rift, but just a hallucination?"
“No, it’s not an illusion. We did indeed enter a dimensional rift.” Lin Nai said while receiving treatment from Ye Wan’er, “It’s just that some unexpected events occurred, which is why we were lucky enough to survive.”
"What does 'accident' mean...?"
"That's not something I can say."
"Oh...sorry..."
Sherry felt like she was dreaming: "I never imagined that someone could be sucked into a dimensional rift and still come out alive..."
At night, the doctor used the black crystal to treat Linnai for a while.
Linnaeus felt as if his shattered bones were being pieced back together, a truly strange sensation.
Even with the help of the Black Crystal, Ye'er still needed to treat Linnai very diligently at night. Using magic, she would sink the Eye of Consciousness into Linnai's body, then control the magic to form fine threads, stitching together the shattered bone fragments and nerves bit by bit...
This is a massive undertaking, requiring meticulous care and extremely precise control of magical energy.
It's almost equivalent to a major surgery.
It took five hours of the night to treat Linnaeus's arm.
By the time it was finished, it was already dawn.
The sun slowly rose from the desolate plains in the east, but due to the purple mist, its complete shape could not be seen; only faint rays of light could be seen seeping in little by little through the dense purple mist.
"Almost done." The girl slowly exhaled and carefully lowered Lin Nai's arm. "However, it's not completely finished yet. You can move this arm for now and lift heavy objects, but it can't be used for combat yet."
Linna tried to move around a bit and asked, "Why?"
"Because the soul power node on your arm hasn't been fixed yet, you can't gather soul power during this time," Ye Yuan'er said. "As for the damage to your internal organs, you should recover quickly because you have nanocells."
“Okay…” Lin Nai breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to pat the girl’s head: “Thank you, Wan’er.”
Night blushed: "Why are you being so polite with me...?"
Linna smiled and said, "That's true."
Shirley turned her head curiously: "So, are you really a couple?"
“Oh, no,” Lin Nai said slowly, “it’s just a fake identity to cover up my identity.”
Upon hearing this, Ye'er's eyes dimmed slightly.
“But maybe it will be in the future.” Linna shrugged. “Who knows?”
Night: "!"
The girl's eyes lit up, and her spirits were instantly lifted from their dejection.
"Heh..." Shirley smiled slightly, "Then I wish you all the best."
The car continued speeding across the wilderness.
After driving for another two hours, we are finally approaching the coordinates of Ancheng.
Shirley drove, looking around: "We're almost at the place you mentioned, but..."
She looked at the road ahead and frowned slightly.
On a desolate wasteland, countless purple fungus hyphae spread and connected into patches...
"How come there are so many purple fungi in this place?"
Sherry said, frowning.
Linnai's eyes swept around.
"It's not just that there are more purple fungi."
"There are actually no wandering monsters in this place."
"and......"
Linnaeus sniffed the air, his expression turning serious: "Can you smell it?"
"Smell it?" Shirley paused for a moment, then sniffed the air.
"There seems to be a strange smell..."
As night fell and things quieted down, he carefully sensed it and said, "Is it the smell of disordered, ethereal energy?"
Lin Nai said in a deep voice, "That's right, it's the smell of emptiness."
He and Ye Wan'er had entered the interdimensional rift together, so they were extremely familiar with this smell.
really.
Soon, after driving for a while, they saw a very long and narrow dimensional rift! It was a full twenty meters long and appeared in the wilderness!
