Jian Ning took out a dark brown pill from her storage bracelet and put it into his mouth.
She only had less than five of these Rejuvenation Pills left. But faced with a face that looked so much like Xiao Lingfeng's, she couldn't bear to leave him to die.
The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth. This Restoration Pill had a relatively mild medicinal effect, but its effect on treating severe injuries was indeed excellent. Visibly, Xiao Wuyu's complexion gradually regained some color.
Her eyelashes fluttered a few times, and she slowly opened her eyes. The moment she saw Jian Ning, she was slightly surprised, and then a smile appeared in her eyes.
"Girl, we meet again." The voice was very soft, almost inaudible if you didn't listen carefully.
"Yes, we meet again. By the way, my name is Jian Ning. I forgot to tell you last time."
"How did you get this?" Da Bai couldn't explain it either. "Never mind, recover your strength first, then we'll talk."
Jian Ning used a cleaning spell to clean up the bloodstains on the ground, then pulled over a fur blanket and covered Xiao Wuyu with it.
"Thank you." In the short while, Xiao Wuyu regained some strength and struggled to sit up, but Jian Ning pressed him back down.
"You lie still and have some water," he said, picking up the teapot on the table by the flickering candlelight. The water inside was cold.
This was also undrinkable. With a flick of his finger, a red flame appeared. He heated the kettle for a while before pouring out a little warm water and holding the teacup to Xiao Wuyu's lips.
After drinking some water, Xiao Wuyu was noticeably more energetic.
"I am so grateful to Miss Jian for saving me today. I thought that once I lay down, I would never wake up again!" A bitter smile appeared on Xiao Wuyu's lips.
"Your wound looks like it was inflicted by a wild beast. Are there any animals this fierce around here?"
Jian Ning knew that although Xiao Wuyu's legs were impaired, his martial arts skills were extraordinary. To be able to injure him like this, he must have some ability.
"It's those ferocious beasts in the miasma. They've suddenly become restless lately, trying to rush into the village every night. There was originally a protective array, but the spirit stones are almost used up."
The formation was about to lose its effectiveness. I was getting anxious.
"I can only hunt ferocious beasts near the edge of the dense fog every day. I never expected to encounter such a powerful one today. Luckily, Big White saved me at the last moment, otherwise I would have lost my life here."
"How many spirit stones do you need? This should be enough!" Jian Ning waved her hand, and a large box of mid-grade spirit stones appeared in the room, totaling three to five hundred stones.
Last time, she intended to leave some spirit stones for Xiao Wuyu to use, but an accident occurred and he did not return here. This time, leaving him these should be enough to support the formation for a hundred years.
"That's enough, too much!" Xiao Wuyu looked at the spirit stones in front of him, his eyes filled with excitement. Now the villagers were saved.
"You should rest for a while and get some rest. Tomorrow I'll go with you to the array to replenish our spirit stones. The thick fog outside has thinned out a lot now. If any ferocious beasts come in, leave them to me. Don't worry about it."
After Jian Ning finished speaking, without waiting for Xiao Wuyu's reply, she got up and left the treehouse. Looking at the gray sky and the quiet village not far away, she sighed.
This place is far removed from the world, and generations have lived here without any contact with the outside world. Although such a life is peaceful, it is also too boring.
I meditated outside until the sun rose in the morning. People in the village had already started to come out to fetch water and cook, and wisps of smoke rose from the rooftops.
Jian Ning took out breakfast from her spatial storage, carried it on a tray, and flew up to the treehouse.
Xiao Wuyu had changed into a white robe and was sitting upright at the table. If it weren't for his still somewhat pale complexion, no one would have guessed that he had been seriously injured and on the verge of death the night before.
"Have something to eat. This is porridge cooked in a clay pot. It tastes delicious and can replenish your energy. It's good for your health."
Jian Ning placed the tray she was carrying in front of him and sat down cross-legged herself. She really wasn't used to living in this treehouse. Not only was it drafty, but...
He couldn't even straighten his back. It's likely that when Xiao Wuyu built the house, he only considered his own height and didn't expect there would be guests here.
"Thank you. Miss Jian, it's been more than three years since you left. I wonder where you've been?"
"Have you found a way out?" Xiao Wuyu didn't pick up his chopsticks, but instead asked this question that Jian Ning found difficult to answer.
Time flies so fast here; Jian Ning felt like she hadn't been outside for very long.
After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Well, I did leave this place, but I didn't find a way out."
To put it simply, in my view, the place where you live now is a place of trial for me.
If I can clear the level, I can go to the next level. The location you are in now may have been connected to the place where I cleared the level by an ancient powerful being using spatial magic.
Therefore, only I can freely come and go from this place. If you want to leave, you will only be able to do so if you are completely under my command.
"A trial ground? I really didn't expect that. No one has come here for thousands of years. Is your sect only occupied by you?"
Xiao Wuyu quickly understood Jian Ning's meaning, and the glimmer of hope that had just risen was immediately extinguished.
You need to complete all the levels to obtain the corresponding ability. This is not something that can be done in a short time; the difficulty of this level alone is insane enough.
"You could say that, but don't worry, as long as I take control of this exquisite pavilion, I'll immediately send you all back to the world where normal people live."
After saying this, Jian Ning chuckled to herself. In a normal world, she was now in the apocalypse. Could the people here possibly adapt after they went out? It was too early to make such grand pronouncements.
"With these spirit stones, we can support the villagers for several hundred years. During this time, if Miss Jian ever needs my help, please don't hesitate to ask."
Xiao Wuyu could only place his hopes on Jian Ning; having hope was better than having none.
After the two finished breakfast, Da Bai carried Xiao Wuyu on his back, took Jian Ning, and brought the spirit stones to the center of the village's defensive array.
The spirit stones inside were now only the size of a little finger.
If Jian Ning doesn't arrive soon, the village will probably only be able to hold out for another three days, at best. Then everyone in the village will be exposed.
The ferocious beasts lurking in the thick fog will surely swarm in, leaving the villagers with no way out but to perish in their jaws.
Jian Ning placed a spirit stone on the array's core, then turned to Xiao Wuyu and asked.
"Do you know how to set up this formation?"
"Yes, but unfortunately we lack the materials for setting up the formation. If Miss Jian wants to learn, I can teach you."
