"Are you awake?"
Zhao Xin's voice came from the side. After a long time, he turned around and saw Zhao Xin roasting some meat of an unknown soul beast on the campfire.
Good morning..." After hesitating for a while, he finally greeted Zhao Xin.
"It seems that you have responded well. You slept well last night. Come and get something to eat."
"...Thank you." Xu Jiujiu crawled out of the bed, walked to Zhao Xin and sat down. At Zhao Xin's signal, he picked up a piece of soul beast meat and started eating it in small bites.
"How is it? Is it delicious?"
Xu Jiujiu nodded, and then asked the question she had been wanting to ask yesterday.
"Can you tell me...what's your name?"
Zhao Xin paused for an unnoticeable moment, then continued speaking calmly.
"My name is Chen Zifeng."
"Chen...Zifeng."
After repeating the name silently several times in his mind, he gave Zhao Xin an elegant smile.
"My last name is Xu, and my name is Xu Jiujiu. You can just call me Jiujiu."
Zhao Xin looked at the girl in front of him who was eating the meat in small bites with some surprise. He didn't expect Xu Jiujiu to tell him her real name. "Then I'll call you Jiujiu." Zhao Xin said casually, took out a bottle of water and placed it next to Xu Jiujiu, then stood up and walked out. "I'll put the water here. If you are thirsty, drink it yourself. Don't run around, or I can't save you."
Xu Jiujiu became anxious. She took a step forward and grabbed the corner of Zhao Xin's clothes. "Are you... going to leave here?"
Zhao Xin turned to look at her with some confusion and said, "I'm going out to fight. I'm just taking advantage of the holiday to come here to fight soul beasts to improve my combat skills. Do you still expect me to be by your side all the time to take care of you?"
Xu Jiujiu blushed and let go of the corner of Zhao Xin's clothes.
What Zhao Xin said made sense. He came to the Star Dou Great Forest for something in the first place, so saving her was a natural thing for him. Naturally, he would not stop for her.
"Will you... come back?" Xu Jiujiu asked Zhao Xin with some concern. She was afraid that Zhao Xin would just leave and leave her alone in this cave.
In that case, she won't be able to survive until the day she recovers.
"If I don't come back, where else can I go to rest?" After taking a look at the bedding that Xu Jiujiu slept on last night, Zhao Xin ignored her and left the cave alone.
Looking at Zhao Xin's departing back, Xu Jiujiu heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time she felt a little resentful, stamping her feet on the spot, "If you don't want to leave, then don't leave. Why don't you talk nicely?" She thought angrily, and after taking a look at the surrounding layout, she had an idea in her mind, "This place is too messy. If I tidy it up, will he be scared when he comes back?"
Anyway, it would take ten days for her to recover her soul power. She couldn't use her soul power during these few days. She was idle anyway. Wouldn't it be better to do something to kill time? Besides, she would live here too. She did it right away. She used some weeds around the cave to spread on the ground and made a grass mat that was quite thick. Xu Jiujiu pressed it with her hand and nodded with satisfaction.
"This way, that guy named Chen Zifeng can sleep on the quilt, and I can sleep on the floor." Zhao Xin gave her the quilt to sleep on, but she still felt a little embarrassed, so she simply returned the quilt to Zhao Xin and slept on the floor herself.
Then, she collected some dry firewood nearby and placed it in the cave so that Zhao Xin wouldn't have to make another trip.
Xu Jiujiu looked at the pile of firewood and nodded with satisfaction. She suddenly felt dizzy and thought that she was too tired, so she just lay down on the ground and fell asleep. She didn't know if she was lucky or something, but when Zhao Xin came back, she was still sleeping soundly.
"...What a carefree girl." Zhao Xin sighed, took some firewood that Jiujiu had collected in the morning, and started to grill the meat of the soul beast he killed today. After a simple preparation, Zhao Xin put the meat on the grill he made, came to Jiujiu's side, and shook her body, "Hey, wake up, it's time to eat."
"Hmm..." Xu Jiujiu seemed to be not very clear-headed. She opened her eyes drowsily and then closed them again.
Zhao Xin felt something was wrong. Xu Jiujiu's face looked a little red under the light of the fire, so Zhao Xin didn't pay much attention to it at first. However, when the back of Zhao Xin's hand touched Xu Jiujiu's forehead, he realized something was wrong. "It's so hot. This guy has a fever."
Zhao Xin took out a bag of water and a piece of clothing from his storage soul guide, tore the clothing into pieces the size of towels, wet them with water, and a simple cooling tool was ready. Zhao Xin helped Xu Jiujiu lie down on the quilt, covered her with the quilt, and placed the simple tool on her forehead.
Then, he took out a pot.
Yes, that's right. Zhao Xin took out a pot, hung it over the fire, and poured some water into it. Fortunately, Zhao Xin prepared some common herbs before coming to the Xingdou Great Forest, otherwise Zhao Xin really didn't know what to do. Zhao Xin selected some fever-reducing and qi-replenishing herbs and put them into the pot, waiting for the fever-reducing medicine to be boiled.
The water was boiled, and he took out a small bowl and poured the medicine into it. After it cooled down a little, Zhao Xin helped Xu Jiujiu sit up and tried to get her to drink some of the medicine. However, Xu Jiujiu seemed to be resisting subconsciously. When Zhao Xin put the medicine to her mouth, she subconsciously moved her head away.
Lin Mo frowned.
Although he didn't know why she was so resistant to taking medicine, given her current condition, Zhao Xin had no choice but to let her take the medicine.
How to feed...
Zhao Xin's eyes glanced at Xu Jiujiu's lips.
Got it!
"I'm sorry for the offense, but please forgive me."
Zhao Xin took out a straw-like object from the soul guide, sucked up the medicine in it, and put it into Xu Jiujiu's mouth.
"Hmm..." It was obvious that she was not so resistant to this. Zhao Xin slowly injected the liquid medicine into her mouth, and she drank it subconsciously. Slowly, this thing was repeated over and over again. After a while, Zhao Xin finally finished feeding the medicine.
Da, da..." Outside the cave, there were some scattered footsteps. Although they were very small, they could not escape Zhao Xin's ears.
"These guys... How could they be attracted by the smell of medicine? These herbs are not too valuable!" Zhao Xin held his forehead helplessly with his hand, put Xu Jiujiu on the ground and settled him down, then walked out of the cave alone. Even if these guys were attracted by the smell of medicine at first, after seeing Xu Jiujiu, a tonic that cannot fight, they would definitely target Xu Jiujiu.
——A soul master who cannot use soul power is a delicious dessert for soul beasts.
"Dragon bear possession."
Zhao Xin walked out of the cave step by step, and the dragon bear martial spirit gradually appeared on his body, emitting strong dragon power. The soul beasts outside, when they felt this aura, their steps were a little chaotic, but no soul beast left, this momentum could not threaten them.
The first and second soul rings shine.
"Power of the earth, armored."
Dark golden armor covered Zhao Xin's body, his claws became thicker, and sharp blades popped out from his fingertips. The golden elements around his body attached to them, adding a bit of power to them.
To the best of his ability, he would try his best to protect Xu Jiujiu, who was helpless behind him.
When Zhao Xin walked out of the cave, several soul beasts were already outside, staring at him covetously.
"Let's fight."
Zhao Xin's tone was very calm, as if he was not the one who was going to participate in the battle. Then, he burst out at an extremely fast speed and rushed towards these soul beasts.
The war is about to break out.
