"Dammit, Senior Baiju and I are going to Yuzhang City for a while. Let's go."
Wuzhang Shifang and Wudao whispered to each other for a while, and then asked Tian Congyun to go to Yuzhang City with him.
"Oh!
Let's go. "
Tian Congyun nodded. With a sweep of sword qi, the medical pod containing Guhan's body floated behind her. It seemed like Tian Congyun planned to bring Guhan to Yuzhang City with her.
"Dammit, what are you doing? Why are you bringing the medical pod?"
Wuzhang Shifang's face darkened. "Put it down. We have to fly all the way back to Yuzhang City. What's with the medical pod?"
"But Guhan's body is still …" Tian Congyun wanted to say that Guhan needed someone to take care of him, but before she could say it, she heard Wudao say, "Hey, Sword Immortal Shifang, don't get too worked up. Lady Kusanagi is kind and cares about this swordsman. Since Lady Kusanagi likes this little man, let her carry the medical pod. It's not a big deal."
"Who cares about a swordsman … Let's go." Tian Congyun put Guhan's medical pod back on the ground.
If she really brought Guhan's medical pod back, wouldn't Wudao's words be true?
Moreover, Tian Congyun realized that she cared too much about Guhan. Wasn't he just the descendant of that heartless person?
Why did she care so much?
He didn't care about her at all. She didn't look like an immortal swordsman at all when she brought the medical pod with her.
Thinking of this, Tian Congyun decisively put Guhan's medical pod down … But after a few seconds, Guhan's medical pod was pulled up by the sword qi again … After a few seconds, it was put down again. It seemed like Tian Congyun was in a dilemma.
"Actually, it's fine to put it here. The immortal swordsman's medical pod is made of dimensional crystals. It can defend against all attacks from Yuan Kou that are dragon-level and below. It's impossible for a dragon-level or above Yuan Kou to appear here in a short period of time.
Moreover, the camp has already received news that Medusa has escaped. In ten minutes, our people will return here.
I've specifically told them that when they return, someone will take care of this med bay. "
Ju Wudao added, which could be considered as helping Tian Congyun make the decision.
"Let's go!"
The medical pod was placed on the ground. Tian Congyun was the first one to leave this broken mineral lode. Ju Wudao looked at Wu Zhangshi, who had a green head. He smiled and took Xuan Ming away.
Wuzhang Shifang, who was left behind, stared at Guhan in the medical cabin for a moment before catching up with Ju Wudao. All the people in the open space left in an instant, and the place suddenly became deserted.
…
Ten minutes later, Ju Wudao, who was flying side by side with Wuzhang Shifang in the air and was about to return to Yuzhang City, received a call.
"What did you say?
You didn't find the medical pod? "Ju Wudao's expression changed slightly when he heard the content of the communication.
On the other end of the communication was the person in charge of the Luoting Mineral Lode. After they had rushed back to the mineral lode, they had searched the entire mineral lode, but they couldn't find the medical pod, let alone Guhan, who was in the medical pod.
Since this task was assigned by Ju Wudao, the person in charge did not dare to neglect it. He immediately got in touch with Ju Wudao and told him the news.
"Immediately mobilize your forces to search the vicinity, but keep this news to yourself. Don't tell anyone else. Do you understand?"
Ju Wudao's expression returned to normal, as if nothing had happened. He didn't inform Tian Congyun and Wu Zhangshi.
Ju Wudao concealed this matter. In his opinion, the disappearance of the sword-bearer was not a big deal. If he told the other two, it would be a big problem. It would be an act of asking for trouble.
So, where was the medical pod that contained Guhan's body at this time?
The answer was in a forest with birds chirping and flowers fragrant.
This was one of the rare quiet places in the Mei Ling Mountain Range.
The mine exploration team had explored this place more than ten times and came to the conclusion that there was absolutely no mineral lode in this area.
If there was no mineral lode, there would be no harm. Since there was nothing worth coveting, humans would not bother to come to this place at all.
Places like this were places where Yuan Kou appeared very frequently. What if they encountered Yuan Kou and got killed?
Who could they reason with?
Therefore, this place had become an area with a very well-preserved forest environment in the Meiling Mountain Range. There were many trees, and the jungle was dense. As far as the eye could see, there were dense trees and flowers, and one could not even see clearly dozens of meters away.
Guhan's medical pod was placed in such an extremely hidden place. The display panel of the medical pod showed a countdown of 02: 23, which meant that Guhan's body would be completely restored in two and a half minutes. Guhan would also escape death and return to normal.
Time passed by, and when the panel finally showed 00: 00, the lid of the medical pod opened with a whoosh. Almost in the next second, a lively Guhan jumped out of the medical pod.
After coming back to life, Guhan moved his body and found that his physical condition could be said to be terrible. Previously, he had to waste more than half a year to reopen the meridians in his left hand because of his broken left hand.
But now, almost all the meridians in Guhan's body had been reformatted, and the acupoints that he had previously opened were all tightly closed … This meant that although Guhan had a body full of sword essence, his strength had almost returned to the state of a child. In other words, he had lost all his martial arts as described in wuxia novels.
However, Guhan did not blame anyone. Instead, he was happy from the bottom of his heart. In fact, when Guhan's body was bitten by the giant snake and he faintly heard the conversation between Tian Congyun and Medusa, he used the last bit of his body to open his eyes so that he would be petrified instead of turning into a pool of blood. At that time, Guhan had already regarded himself as a dead man in his heart.
He opened his eyes only because he was unwilling to die just like that. He wanted to make one last gamble.
However, he also understood in his heart that this was just a gamble. There was a 99% chance that he would die in the hands of Medusa. From then on, his short life would come to an end. The deep hatred of his parents, as well as the various great wishes he had made, would become a complete joke.
Guhan never thought that he would be able to open his eyes again. He would be able to feel the real existence of his body again. This new life gave Guhan a sudden sense of release from the bottom of his heart … People who had died once often viewed things from a different perspective than those who had never experienced death before.
Suddenly, Guhan heard this sentence, "Guhan, it seems that your body is recovering well!"
However, Guhan was not surprised. The moment he stepped out of the medical pod, he saw Rena Takasaka sitting on a fallen tree. Her face was full of smiles.
"Although my body is not as good as before, I've never felt so good before."
Guhan took a deep breath of the fresh air in the forest. "Rena Takasaka, was it you who saved me?"
"You can say that." Rena Takasaka was still smiling. "At least, I was the one who brought you here."
"Where is this place?"
Guhan looked around and realized that he was surrounded by a dense forest. Most of the towering trees were five to six stories tall. Trees could only grow to such a height in a place without human activity. It seemed that this was a place with few people. Strange, why would he appear in a place like this?
A trace of doubt flashed in Guhan's heart. This place, this environment, gave him an ominous feeling.
At the same time, Guhan suddenly realized that Rena Takasaka was giving him a different feeling than before.
In the past, Rena Takasaka was a shy girl who did not even dare to look Guhan in the eye.
But now, not only could Reina Takasaka look straight into Gu Han's eyes, there was no shyness in her eyes at all. Instead, there was a kind of determination, a kind of determination towards her own beliefs!
"It seems that Rena Takasaka has become a lot more mature after going through this crisis!" Guhan sighed. At this moment, he did not suspect anything.
"Guhan, your body seems to be recovering well. I wonder if your Violet Palace and the sword mark are alright?" Rena Takasaka asked.
"They're fine!"
Guhan looked at his Violet Palace and saw that the sword mark from Qingpin's sword was still intact. It seemed that Qingpin was fine as well.
At the thought of Qingpin, Guhan's heart skipped a beat. He touched his back and found that the scabbard was empty. There was nothing inside.
Where was his Qingpin?
Where was his cute swordmistress, Qingpin?
"Rena Takasaka, did you see my swordmistress, Qingpin, when you saved me?" Guhan could only ask Rena Takasaka.
"Qingpin is here."
Rena Takasaka took out a longsword from her back. When Guhan saw that it was indeed his Qingpin, he immediately felt relieved.
"Thank you, Takasaka-san. I'll go crazy without Qingpin."
Guhan did not hide his fondness for Qingpin at all, especially when he said that he would go crazy without Qingpin. A trace of emotion flashed in Rena Takasaka's eyes … but it was only for a brief moment. Soon, Rena Takasaka's eyes returned to their original resolute state.
"Come back, Qingpin."
Guhan wanted to summon Qingpin back to him through the sword mark, but something strange happened. No matter how hard Guhan tried, Qingpin did not move an inch in Rena Takasaka's hand. It had no intention of returning to him.
"What's going on?
Is Qingpin injured?
Is its durability at zero?
Takasaka-san, please return my Qingpin to me. "
A few terrifying guesses popped up in Guhan's mind. He quickly stood up and tried to take his Qingpin back from Rena Takasaka.
"I'm sorry, I can't do that."
Rena Takasaka's face darkened. The sword flashed like a bolt of lightning, and blood gushed out of Guhan's outstretched right hand. Other than his thumb, all of his fingers were severed. And what had severed Guhan's finger was none other than the Qingpin in Rena Takasaka's hand.
There was nothing to doubt, because right now, on the blade of the poor sword, the blood that came from the solid cold was still dripping drop by drop.
Guhan had never imagined that Qingpin would be stained with his blood.
In that instant, Guhan felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.
