About ten minutes.
This is just a blink of an eye for people who usually play games on their phones, but for the girl who is suffering from great pain at this moment, every second feels like an age.
Time passed by little by little, and the venue was silent.
Although Ye Lan hadn't made a sound since she spat out that mouthful of blood, nor had she cried out in pain, she looked like she was dozing off in Xiao Yunting's arms.
But everyone saw that her face was getting paler and paler, and her breathing was getting weaker and weaker, as if it was difficult for her to draw oxygen from her chest.
Xiao Yunting's feelings were more direct.
At this moment, the girl in his arms was as cold as a corpse. He could hardly feel her heartbeat under his palm, and the slight trembling never stopped for a moment.
For the first time in his life, Xiao Yunting felt panic and helplessness.
When he was a teenager, he was framed by the Xiao family and exiled to the Golden Triangle. When he woke up and found that he had been sold into the underground market, he did not panic when facing the vicious bandits. He did not panic when he first broke into the hunter area and slept among the dead.
In any desperate situation, as long as he can use his hands to turn the situation around, he can remain calm until the last moment.
However, now, seeing the girl suffering in his arms, he was helpless, and the uncontrollable panic came over him, stirring his heart and making him feel the pain as well.
Ye Lan's reaction time was shorter than expected.
The pain was tormenting her to the point of blurring her consciousness, but the steady rise and fall of another person's heart soothed her nerves, and the severe pain in her heart also slowly subsided.
Less than ten minutes later, the old man sitting there was surprised to see her open her eyes again and stand up straight.
At first he thought that the new medicine he had refined was not effective, but after seeing Xiao Yunting's expression and condition next to him, he suddenly realized and laughed out loud.
"Haha, that's right. You can endure this kind of pain without making a sound. You are quite a tough girl."
Ye Lan wiped the smile from the corner of his mouth, lifted his eyelids with great effort, and looked up again. His throat was a little dry and hoarse after spitting blood. "The Dantian has been sealed, so what's next?"
She no longer had the energy to be polite to the other party.
"Well, the curse has lost its target and is now lingering around you. It'll have to be chipped away at," the old man commented, lacking any sympathy as a doctor. "Grind it until it thinks you're dead, and then the curse will naturally leave you. I think the venue is ready here. Just fight your way through from the 187th floor down to the first floor, and you'll probably be almost there. If you feel like you're close to death, take a pill to replenish your energy."
After saying this, he felt that his idea was very good and he wanted to open a bottle of red wine to wake himself up in advance so that he could watch the game later.
But everyone present couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines when they heard this.
The Arena is home to the world's most ferocious wanted criminals, who commit murder and arson, and commit all sorts of evil. Not to mention the difficulty of fighting from the first floor up, if you're not careful you'll end up going in vertically and going out horizontally.
Now that the girl's martial arts skills had just been crippled and she looked like she was only half dead, she was being attacked from above. Isn't this a sure-fire way to get herself killed?!
"no."
This time, without waiting for Ye Lan to answer, Xiao Yunting was the first to disagree.
He knew the girl's current physical condition better than anyone else, and she would surely die if she entered the arena.
As a party to the transaction, he has a veto power.
But the old man seemed determined to make things difficult for him. Hearing this, he waved his hand coldly and said, "If you don't want to, that's fine. Then you can shoot her half to death yourself. You'll need to shoot her a few more times to completely remove the curse."
Xiao Yunting: "..."
He has always been able to control his emotions, but now he is so angry that he wants to kill someone.
The two sides were deadlocked, and Xiao Yunting could not accept that he had shot and killed the girl, so he made concessions after a while.
"You can fight in the ring, but I want to go along."
"No," the old man flatly refused, sizing him up and down with disdain. "With your face showing up in the Arena, everyone knows you're someone who can't be touched on Mysterious Island. So what's the point of fighting?"
Everyone: “…”
That makes a lot of sense.
Seeing that the negotiations were fruitless, Ye Lan wanted to say that he could do it, but then he saw Xiao Yunting pointing to the side and said in a cold voice: "I can't do it, so he should go."
"Him?" The old man's gaze fell on the young man, his eyes narrowing slightly. He sighed inwardly. As expected of a little monster, he had picked out the most useful one at a glance, and even exploited a loophole. Now it was too late to regret it. He leaned back in his chair and said with a gloomy expression, "Alright, alright. Anyway, if she delays the curse from being worn off, she'll have to suffer a few more rounds of fighting."
Finally, I have to make some malicious threats.
Ye Lan had never seen his master suffer a setback, and he found it strange for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Xiao Yunting a few more times.
Xiao Yunting naturally took her hand, feeling the warmth in her palm gradually returning to normal. Feeling a little relieved, he turned to the young man beside him and asked, "Are you willing to make this journey? As long as you can protect her, any reward is acceptable."
He had tested the other party's skills in the villa before. Although he was young at that time, his explosive power and comprehension were already amazing. Now that the effect of the medicine has removed the limitations of his body shape, his strength has far exceeded that of anyone in the security team.
He is the best person to protect the girl.
Upon hearing this, the young man frowned, as if somewhat dissatisfied with his words, and said in a hoarse voice, "No reward required, I will protect her."
For a young man who had lived in the jungle since childhood, been fed all kinds of natural treasures, and had never been treated kindly by wolves, tigers, leopards or humans, what he saw and heard in the past two days was a sense of ease and comfort he had never experienced before.
Even though the girl had hit him and often responded coldly to him, he saw and remembered the kindness she showed him.
So protecting her comes from the heart, not for any reward.
Xiao Yunting confirmed the seriousness in the other person's eyes and nodded slightly. "Okay, as long as she wants to take the medicine in the ring, you can remove any obstacles. I guarantee that nothing will happen to you."
This is the privilege for the most VIP guests of Mysterious Island.
The old man sitting there was annoyed when he saw that he had opened another bug. He slapped the armrest of the chair and urged him, "Are you going to leave or not? You're so slow. I'm getting sleepy waiting for you."
Since everything was arranged, and none of them were the type to procrastinate, they immediately moved towards the elevator.
When they reached the elevator, Xiao Yunting let go of Ye Lan's hand, stared at her and whispered, "I'll be watching you from up there. If anything unexpected happens, I'll grab him."
This "he" naturally refers to the Medical Immortal.
Ye Lan was slightly stunned, raised her eyes and saw the dark color in his eyes, and knew that he was not joking.
If something really happened to her, she was afraid that the other party would use other extreme means to tie up her master.
She was both moved and helpless at the same time, and could only comfort him, "He was just angry that I used a name I shouldn't have used, and he was deliberately torturing me, but he has a good heart. I will come back safely this time, you wait for me."
