Chapter 244: The Weak and Injured Jing
"Miss Huo Huo came to Tianyou Ridge, but what are you looking for?"
Just when Zhong Hanshang was still immersed in his own thoughts, worried about Gao Huohuo's reaction to his words.
Jing's voice came slowly, with some concern, but also a hint of temptation.
He tilted his head slightly, with a gentle smile that was just the right amount on his face.
His eyes were as deep as a pool, as if hiding countless unspoken thoughts.
This made Zhong Hanshang, who was standing by, angry again, but he could do nothing about it.
He could only glance coldly at Hao and Dong who were standing next to him.
If it weren't for the two of them, how could they have encountered Jing, who was of unknown identity and weak and injured?
Hao and Dong received Zhong Hanshang's cold gaze and silently took a step back.
This is blamed on them, but the person was left behind by Lord Huo, right?
Although the scenery is beautiful, Master Zhong is not bad either! His cultivation is also high!
With Lord Huo's strength, he can easily take both of them. Why fight over them?
But Hao only dared to think so in his heart, and did not dare to show it on his face.
It would be bad if Lord Zhong took his anger out on him again, so he'd better stay hidden!
Hearing Jing's words, Gao Huohuo couldn't help but look at Jing, his eyes full of curiosity:
"Yes, I'm looking for information about a spiritual weapon. Are you familiar with Tianyou Ridge?"
When Jing heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness and emotion in his tone:
"I wouldn't say I'm very familiar with him. I just spent a lot of time here because of my injury."
As he spoke, he shook his head slightly, with a hint of loneliness in his eyes, as if he was telling of some unspeakable pain.
Gao Huohuo couldn't help but feel a little pity for him when he saw him like this.
He was seriously injured, but he was still able to survive in Tianyou Ridge. He must have some extraordinary means.
She couldn't help but ask, "Then why don't you leave Tianyou Ridge and recuperate? This isn't a good place to recuperate."
Jing frowned slightly, forming a faint frown between his eyebrows, but soon relaxed again.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his tone was a bit bitter:
"I was injured before because of a conspiracy. Now that my injury has not healed, it is really inconvenient for me to go out."
As he spoke, a hint of resentment flashed in his eyes, and then turned into sadness, as if he was suppressing the pain in his heart.
“In comparison, although the environment in Tianyou Ridge is harsh, it allows me to take refuge for a while.
But luckily Miss Huo Huo saved my life just now, otherwise I’m afraid I would never be able to avenge my vengeance.”
When Gao Huohuo heard this, his heart couldn't help but move.
She glanced around. Although Tianyou Ridge was full of dangers, it was indeed a good place to hide.
The person in front of him was only at the Jindan level, so the person who plotted against him must not be that high either.
Even if the other party has a high level of cultivation, she is not afraid at all, as she can use it to refine magic beads.
Taking Jing along is just the right way to let him lead the way in finding clues to destroy the evil.
"You're too polite. I saved you only because you saved my people first." Gao Huohuo said firmly.
"But don't worry, you are with us now. We are strong in numbers, so you will be safe."
Hearing Jing's words, Hao on the side started to complain to Dong in a low voice.
"Dong, Jing is really good at talking. It's obvious that as long as he doesn't save us, we will be fine.
Now all the credit is attributed to Lord Huo, I don't know what he is trying to achieve."
"Maybe they think we are strong and can help him avoid his enemies!"
Hao nodded disapprovingly, it was most likely what Dong said.
When Jing heard Gao Huohuo's words, his face was immediately filled with gratitude.
He quickly bowed to her, with a flattering tone in his voice:
"Thank you very much, Miss Huohuo. However, Tianyouling is a vast area. I wonder what spiritual weapon Miss Huohuo is looking for?"
As he spoke, he leaned forward slightly, his eyes revealing full concern and expectation, as if waiting for her response.
Gao Huohuo pondered for a moment, decided not to beat around the bush, and spoke directly:
"To be honest, what I'm looking for is the clue to the weapon.
I was originally at the Nascent Soul stage, but because I was tricked by someone else, my essence was directly damaged by the weapon, and my cultivation level dropped to the Golden Core stage.
Now I just want to find clues about that spiritual weapon to see if I can restore my cultivation."
After hearing Gao Huohuo's words, ripples quickly appeared in Jing's heart.
The demons had such powerful weapons? He had been in the demon tribe for so long, how come he had never heard of it?
It is unheard of that it can actually damage the essence of a Nascent Soul cultivator and cause his cultivation to decline.
Although it was difficult to tell whether what the other party said was true or false, an expression of disbelief instantly appeared on his face.
There was some emotion in his tone:
"I didn't expect Miss Huo Huo to be in the same situation as me. No wonder we met. It's really fate."
“I don’t know whether you and my junior sister have a connection or not.
But if we don’t leave here, I’m afraid the monsters from before will come back again.”
Zhong Hanshang's voice interrupted coldly, like frost in the cold winter, without a trace of warmth.
As he spoke, his eyes were full of dissatisfaction and vigilance towards Jing, as if warning him not to go any further.
Without any explanation, he took Gao Huohuo's arm and strode away with her.
His movements were swift and decisive, as if he didn't want Gao Huohuo and Jing Duo to stay together for even a moment.
Seeing this, the remaining Hao and Dong did not dare to delay for a moment and hurried to catch up.
Whether it's World of Warcraft or not, they are actually not that scared.
The main fear is that Lord Zhong and others will get angry, and only Lord Huo can control them.
The key point is that since Lord Huo’s cultivation level has declined, he needs to rest from time to time.
What if Lord Zhong gets angry when Lord Huo is resting?
Jing looked at their departing backs, with a slight smile on his face.
He gave them a meaningful smile and then followed them slowly.
While walking, he coughed deliberately from time to time.
The cough was weak and long, as if all the strength in the body was used up.
His body trembled slightly with the coughing, as if a breeze could blow him down.
When Gao Huohuo heard the coughs, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
He's coughing like this, he won't die on the way, right?
The sound was particularly harsh in the silent Tianyou Ridge, and she finally couldn't bear to listen to it anymore.
He stopped, took out another pill from the storage bag and handed it to Jing.
There was a hint of concern in his tone: "Would you like to rest for a while?"
Jing shook his head slightly, took a deep breath, put on a strong look and said:
"It's okay. I'm used to it. I'll be fine soon after some rest."
His voice was weak but firm, as if he was deliberately showing his toughness, but it made people feel pity for him.
Gao Huohuo wondered if this scene had some masochistic tendencies. He was coughing like that, yet he was still trying to be brave.
But since he said it's okay, let's keep going.
Only Zhong Hanshang was filled with anger. This scene was really well acted.
The demons are so cunning, they are good at winning people's hearts, and they use the strategy of inflicting pain on one's self quite well!
Fortunately, Senior Sister Gao did not fall into his trap and was not fooled by his artificial performance.
Zhong Hanshang secretly swore in his heart that he would never let Jing get close to Gao Huohuo again.
