"Roar, roar ~"
The two beasts were tearing at Lu Li's arms and legs with their teeth. Unfortunately, Lu Li's body was too strong. The two beasts felt like they were biting iron. They could not move a single inch.
The two beasts would not give up either. They howled and tried to call their friends over.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh ~"
Many beasts dashed over and surrounded Lu Li. Those beasts were not large in size. Even with more than a dozen beasts tearing at Lu Li, the outcome was the same.
"Roar, roar!"
The beasts could not bite Lu Li so they kept on howling, trying to attract more beasts over. Those beasts were not intelligent. They thought they could not bite Lu Li on their own so they had to ask their friends for help.
"Grandpa, there is someone over there!
Many beasts are biting him. "
After a while, a timid female voice came from the mountain. She said after a pause, "Grandpa, that man is so pitiful. Can you go and save him?"
From the mountain came an old man and a young lady. Both were wearing white clothes and white hats. The young lady had a pair of big and clear eyes, like a white lotus on a snow mountain.
Her facial features were not exquisite but she was pretty and adorable. She had a pure energy that made people feel comfortable.
Both grandpa and granddaughter carried two baskets of herbs on their backs. The granddaughter was weak, only at the third tribulation realm. The old man was stronger but he had just reached the fourth tribulation.
He was not strong but he was strong enough to deal with the beasts. Otherwise, they wouldn't have the courage to come to the mountain to collect herbs.
The old man checked Lu Li with psychic power but he was hesitating. Lu Li's injuries must not have been caused by beasts. He must have been attacked by enemies.
The old man was the Chief of a nearby tribe. He was the most powerful warrior in the tribe. Their tribe was weak, the kind that could be destroyed by any force.
What if Lu Li's enemies were powerful?
That would bring disaster to their tribe.
Lu Li seemed to be at the peak of the second tribulation but he was so badly injured that the beasts could not bite through his flesh. There must be something special about Lu Li.
"Grandpa ~"
Seeing that her grandpa didn't move, the granddaughter looked up in confusion and said, "Didn't you teach us to be kind?
We can't just stand by and do nothing. "
Grandfather looked at his granddaughter's pure eyes, pondered for a moment, and finally rushed forward.
His battle prowess was still passable. More than half of the fierce beasts were killed by him, and the remaining fierce beasts fled.
"This person is seriously injured!"
His granddaughter walked over. She could not bear to look at Lu Li. She took out some pellets and fed them to Lu Li. Grandpa thought about it and applied some pellets to Lu Li as well.
"Grandpa, shall we bring him back to the tribe?"
The granddaughter waited for a moment and said with pity, "He is very pitiful. He will be eaten by the beasts here."
"This won't do!"
Grandfather firmly refused, "This person's origin is unknown, we can't bring him back to the tribe. If something happens, it will implicate the tribe.
Xu 'er, listen to us. We'll heal him. He won't die. "
"Grandpa, there are so many berserk beasts here!"
However, the granddaughter said stubbornly, "He is unconscious. If we stay here, what if we encounter other powerful beasts?
We can't just watch him die. Didn't you say that saving a life is better than building a seven-storied pagoda? "
"Alright …"
Grandpa thought about it. Eventually, he decided that he could not allow his granddaughter's pure heart to be polluted by the mortal world. He said, "But we cannot expose this person. We must hide him in our secret room and you cannot tell anyone."
"Okay!"
The granddaughter grinned happily. She was happy that she had done a good deed.
The old man put Lu Li into his interspatial artifact and destroyed the traces nearby. Then, he left with his granddaughter.
They went down the mountain quickly. Four hours later, they arrived at a small tribe. The entire tribe had a population of just over 3000. There were not many warriors and they rarely had contact with the outside world.
"Greetings, Family Patriarch!"
"Xu 'er, you are back?"
"Greetings, Xu 'er."
Both grandpa and granddaughter were well-received in the tribe. Grandpa was the most powerful warrior in the tribe and was respected. His granddaughter was the little princess of the tribe, loved by everyone.
Grandpa and granddaughter walked back to their residence, which was a stone fort. Grandpa activated the divine rune and sent Lu Li to the secret room. Xu 'er fed Lu Li some healing pellets.
For the next couple of days, grandpa and granddaughter took turns to take care of Lu Li. Lu Li was in a coma but his wounds were recovering.
That being said, the source of his life was damaged at the blasted land. Therefore, his recovery was slow and his qi and energy were weak.
Grandpa was in a state of anxiety for more than a dozen days. None of Lu Li's enemies came after him, which put his mind at ease. He would send Lu Li away when he recovered.
Lu Li woke up on the 18th day. He felt pain all over his body. He was so weak that he could barely keep his eyes open. That being said, he could use psychic power to check.
He took a look and found himself in a sealed room with divine runes activated. He was lying on the bed with herbs on his body.
"Someone has saved me!"
Lu Li came back to his senses and breathed in relief. He still had lingering fears when he recalled what happened at the blasted land.
He was glad that he was not smashed near the city when he was knocked out. Otherwise, he would be in the dungeon of the Shan Family.
"Buzzing ~"
Lu Li's mind wandered for a moment when the Inhibition Formation glowed and a pretty girl walked in.
As a matter of fact, the girl had matured. She was still young but she was a young girl.
Compared to Lu Li's age, she was no different from a little girl. He was less than 20 years old at most.
"Ah ~"
Xu 'er walked in. She sensed that Lu Li's qi and energy were getting stronger. She smiled and said, "You are awake."
Lu Li forced his eyes open. Looking into the girl's pure eyes, he tried to smile and said, "Did you save me?
Thank you! "
The girl smiled sweetly and said, "Grandpa and I brought you down from the mountain. I am Liu Xu 'er. What is your name?"
The girl was so innocent. Lu Li wanted to give her a fake name. But on second thought, he said, "I am Lu Li. When I recover, I will thank you handsomely."
"You are welcome!"
Liu Xu 'er said with a smile, "Grandpa said that doing good is not for reward. He said that good people will be rewarded.
If you do too many good deeds, heaven will bless you. "
"Ha, ha!"
Lu Li laughed. Did good people really have good karma?
Would the heavens really protect him?
He had seen too many good people die tragically and bad people wreak havoc for tens of thousands of years.
In this world, only the strong were respected. Good people often died early. The weaker you were, the easier it was for you to be bullied and the easier it was for you to die.
But of course, Lu Li would not say this to the girl. It was rare to see such a pure and kind girl. How could he spoil her innocence?
"Brother, are you from the outside world?"
Liu Xu 'er's eyes glowed. She asked with curiosity, "I heard that the outside world is big, beautiful and prosperous. Is it true?
I want to go out and have a walk. Too bad I am too weak. Grandpa won't let me. "
"It is big. Many places are beautiful and prosperous."
Lu Li thought about it and said, "But you better not go out. The outside world is messy and there are many bad people. If you go out, you will be hurt."
Liu Xu 'er was so innocent that she could talk to a stranger without any precaution. Plus, she was cute and pretty. It was not hard to imagine what would happen if a girl like her went out …
