In midair, Ling Xiao was still holding the beautiful girl. He had been struck by the Lightning Eagle, and his body rapidly fell.
Below, the golden wolf king and the Cyanfire wolf howled as they chased in the direction Ling Xiao had fallen.
On the other side, the honest-looking youth who had been heavily injured by the Lightning Eagle had barely managed to consume a medicinal pill. When he saw his junior apprentice-sister fall, he hurriedly urged the Greenwind Crane to chase after her.
"Quick, fly faster!" The honest-looking young man ignored the wounds on his body and gritted his teeth as he urged the Greenwind Crane.
Unfortunately, the distance was too great, and the speed at which the two of them were falling was too fast. He couldn't catch up in time.
The two of them hadn't fallen to the ground. Instead, they had fallen into the abyss.
"Go down, we have to catch them!" the honest-looking youth roared once more.
He was extremely anxious. His junior apprentice-sister had an extremely high status in the sect. If anything happened to her, they would definitely suffer the wrath of the sect.
The Greenwind Crane let out a cry and spread its wings in pursuit.
The Green Wind Crane chased down for nearly a hundred meters. Just as it was about to catch up, it let out a tearing cry and actually stopped chasing down. Instead, it quickly flew up, as if it had encountered something terrifying.
"What are you doing? Hurry up and catch them!" The honest-looking youth viciously slapped the Greenwind Crane's body.
But the Greenwind Crane still ignored him. It continued to let out a cry, and no matter how the honest-looking youth urged it, it refused to go down.
"Damned beast!"
The honest-looking youth angrily roared and viciously punched the Greenwind Crane. He could only watch as his junior apprentice-sister and Ling Xiao fell into the bottomless abyss.
"Junior apprentice-sister!"
The golden wolf king and the Cyanfire wolf ran to the edge of the abyss and also howled. "Awooo!"
The two of them were abnormally pale as they fell. The girl was so frightened that her face had lost all color. She tightly hugged onto Ling Xiao's waist.
Although she was much stronger than Ling Xiao, when faced with a life or death situation, she would still be afraid, just like everyone else.
"What should I do?
What should I do? "Ling Xiao kept shouting in his heart. This time, he was completely helpless.
The two of them didn't know how long they had been falling. The girl even fainted in Ling Xiao's arms.
Although Ling Xiao was holding the beautiful girl, he didn't feel the slightest bit of joy in his heart. He looked at the girl in front of him and revealed a poignant smile: "Two deaths is better than one death!"
Just as the two of them were about to land on the ground, Ling Xiao let out a loud shout and spun around with the girl in his arms. He lifted the girl's body up and placed himself under her.
Boom!
The two of them fell to the ground.
…
Half a day later, above the abyss.
The two youngsters were having a heated argument.
"Junior brother, you should give up on this idea. We should hurry back to the sect and ask for help. Maybe junior sister will still have a chance to survive," said the handsome young man to the simple and honest young man.
The simple and honest young man's injuries had stabilized after consuming a medicinal pill. However, his face was still extremely pale and his hair was charred black.
He glared at the handsome young man and said, "If you want to go back, then go back yourself. If I can't find junior sister, then I definitely won't go back."
"Why are you so stubborn? The Greenwind Crane doesn't even dare to fly down. What if you go find junior sister?" the handsome young man said in a bad mood.
"Yes, I am stubborn, but I'm not as cowardly as you. I was wrong about you before. You aren't worthy of being my senior brother," the simple and honest young man angrily said. Then he dragged his heavily injured body to find some grass vines and tied them together. He planned on personally going down into the abyss to find her.
"I don't have any guts. What do you know? You clearly know that you aren't a match for the Lightning Eagle, but you still went up. You're clearly courting death. Look at you now, how have you helped junior sister?
Aren't you just dragging her down? "retorted the handsome young man, unwilling to be outdone.
"Bullshit, don't make excuses for yourself. If you want to go, then go by yourself. I definitely won't go back until I find junior sister," said the simple and honest young man resolutely.
The handsome young man's face twitched, and his fists were tightly clenched. A wave of killing intent surged out of him.
"Hu." After a while, the handsome young man still didn't have the heart to do it. He turned his head and called out to the Greenwind Crane that had originally belonged to the simple and honest young man. Then he jumped onto the crane's back, no longer carrying the simple and honest young man, and directly flew into the air.
The simple and honest young man turned around and looked at the distant handsome young man. He muttered to himself, "What a cowardly person. No wonder junior sister didn't take a fancy to you."
Following that, the simple and honest young man continued to tie up the grass vines.
…
Within the dark abyss, the Yin wind and baleful aura were extremely heavy. Waves of corrosive air wafted out, causing people to feel extremely nauseous.
On the ground, a man and a woman were lying there. Weren't they Ling Xiao and that young woman?
Not long after, the young woman who was lying on top of Ling Xiao slowly opened her eyes.
"Am I dead?"
The young woman muttered to herself. Following that, she felt something pressing down on her body. She hurriedly looked down and saw a handsome youth under her body.
"AHHH!"
The young woman let out a startled cry and hurriedly crawled up from Ling Xiao's body. It seemed that she was very concerned about skin contact between men and women.
However, when she saw the trace of blood at the corner of Ling Xiao's mouth, she paused for a moment and then used her hand to move Ling Xiao's arm. "Hey, wake up … Wake up …"
The young woman called out twice, but there was no response from Ling Xiao. She extended her delicate hand and gently probed Ling Xiao's nostrils.
"Dead … Dead!" The young woman withdrew her delicate hand in shock. Her expression was even paler from fright.
She looked at Ling Xiao and then raised her head to look up. When they were falling, the two of them were clearly hugging each other as they fell. How could this youth in front of her be pressed down by her body?
The answer was obvious. This youth died to save her!
Just when the young woman was at a loss of what to do, a burst of strange cries came, causing her beautiful face to pale in fright.
She took out a few medicinal pills from her bosom and swallowed them. Then, she walked over and dragged Ling Xiao's body to a clean place to hide.
She used a forbidden technique. For at least a month, she wouldn't be able to use her spiritual power. Right now, she was no different from an ordinary person. Facing an unknown situation, she was also very afraid.
"What should I do now?" The young woman sat with her hands hugging her legs. She looked at Ling Xiao in front of her and thought.
Gradually, the young woman became too tired. She closed her eyes and fell asleep again.
At this moment, Ling Xiao's body underwent an astonishing change. His body was surrounded by a faint green and yellow halo. It appeared very holy and pure, illuminating the surrounding ground.
In Ling Xiao's sea of consciousness, a small tree emitted a strong vitality. A few strands of green energy came from the tree's roots towards Ling Xiao's damaged limbs and internal organs.
Wherever the green energy went, the damaged meridians and internal organs gradually showed signs of recovery.
At the same time, the two major Profound Techniques in Ling Xiao's body started to circulate at the same time. The Three Part Origin Returning Qi circulated the Profound Energy in his dantian and fed it back to Ling Xiao's body. The Vajra Five Transformation Technique absorbed the green energy from his sea of consciousness, nourishing and repairing the muscles in his body.
Those damaged meridians, tendons, internal organs …. Under the cooperation of the small tree in his sea of consciousness and the two major Profound Techniques, they gradually began to recover. After his heart absorbed the green energy, it started to beat again.
After an unknown amount of time, Ling Xiao finally walked through the gates of hell and woke up.
"This …. Where is this?"
Ling Xiao struggled to get up. Unfortunately, all the bones in his body were broken and his internal injuries were extremely severe. He couldn't get up at all.
"Am I not dead yet?" Ling Xiao felt pain all over his body and doubtfully muttered to himself.
Ling Xiao felt himself and found that he was still alive. It was just that he had suffered a very serious injury.
"It's good that I'm not dead. As long as I'm alive, there's hope." Ling Xiao secretly rejoiced.
At this time, the young girl's soft voice came from beside him and asked, "You …. You're not dead yet?"
Ling Xiao stared blankly for a moment and then said weakly, "I'm not dead yet, but …. I can't move. Can you help me take out the Dew Returning Pill and Qi Replenishing Pill from my bosom and let me take them to heal my injuries?"
The young girl didn't say anything and directly threw a few pills to Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao looked at the pills and said with a bitter smile, "Can you help me put them in my mouth? My limbs are all broken."
"Oh." The young girl replied and put the pill in Ling Xiao's mouth.
When the pill was at his lips, Ling Xiao opened his mouth and gently closed it. Unexpectedly, the young girl's finger was also in his mouth.
"Ah!" The young girl let out a soft cry and quickly retracted her hand.
"Cough, cough!"
Ling Xiao almost swallowed the pill that the young girl had stuffed into his mouth. He coughed a few times and spat out some blood from the corner of his mouth.
"I … I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." The young girl blushed and lowered her head to apologize.
After Ling Xiao swallowed the pill, he faintly smiled and said, "It's fine. I was the one who offended you first."
"Oh." After the young girl responded, she didn't say anything else.
Following that, the scene fell into silence.
All that was left was the sound of a cold wind blowing and the strange cries of unknown spirit beasts.
"By the way, can you open a hole so we can go in and take shelter from the wind?" The lying Ling Xiao was the first to break the silence.
"I can't. I … I don't have any spiritual power." The young girl faintly replied.
After listening to the young girl's reply, Ling Xiao then remembered the young girl's extremely powerful move. He knew that the young girl's situation was only a bit better than his. He didn't say anything else and began to concentrate on healing his injuries.
Ling Xiao operated the two Mysterious Techniques at full speed to absorb the pill he had just swallowed.
Suddenly, a powerful medicinal power was divided. The two Mysterious Techniques were like hungry wolves pouncing on the food and immediately swallowed the medicinal power.
"This … what kind of pill is this? It must be a higher level pill than the Dew Returning Pill and the Qi Nourishing Pill." Ling Xiao immediately felt that the pill that the young girl fed him was extraordinary.
The Dew Returning Pill and the Qi Nourishing Pill didn't have such powerful medicinal power. These two kinds of pills belonged to the high level of the first level and were extremely precious in Meteor City.
However, the pill that the young girl fed him was at least at the second level, otherwise it wouldn't have such a powerful medicinal power.
With enough medicinal power, Ling Xiao closed his eyes and focused on healing his injuries, hoping that his body would recover as soon as possible.
However, not long after, a black shadow slowly walked out from the darkness.
"What's that?" The young girl looked at the two lights in the darkness and exclaimed.
In the darkness, a black shadow slowly walked out.
The young girl picked up the flexible sword beside her and was on guard.
What appeared in front of her was a dark black spirit beast. Apart from its pair of big eyes, the rest of its body was almost integrated with the darkness. When it came a little closer and looked carefully, it could be seen that it was more than a meter tall and had six small beast legs. The last four slightly larger legs were inserted into the ground to support its body, and the first two slightly smaller legs were raised high. Its head was very big, and its eyes were as big as lanterns. It also had two antennae, and its body was dragging a round tail. From its mouth came a strange cry, "Jiji …"
"Black Devouring Ant!" The young girl recognized the identity of this spirit beast and cried out in alarm.
Black Devouring Ants were a rare dark-attribute spirit beast. They liked to stay in the dark cliffs and ravines. They were spirit beasts that lived in groups, and their numbers were very large.
This Black Devouring Ant was only a meter tall and seemed to only have the strength of the high level of the first level. If it was a second level Black Devouring Ant, it would be at least two meters tall.
Right now, there was only one Black Devouring Ant here. It seemed to be a scout that had come out to find prey.
Even so, the young girl felt very bad.
Now that she had lost all of her spiritual energy, she was just like an ordinary person. It was impossible for her to be a match for the Black Devouring Ant.
The Black Devouring Ant didn't launch an attack. Instead, it constantly waved its antennae and let out "jiji" sounds, as if it was observing the situation of its prey.
"Don't be afraid, I have a hidden arrow on my arm that contains a large amount of poison. Take it and shoot it." Ling Xiao opened his eyes and said.
At this moment, his body was quickly recovering, but it still wasn't completely healed. He couldn't even stand up to fight, so he could only use the hidden arrow again.
This hidden arrow was his ultimate life-saving move. He didn't want to use it unless he had no other choice. This was because the hidden arrow could only be used five times. The first time was used on the Illusory Demon, the second time was used on the Lightning Eagle, and only three times were left.
When the young girl heard Ling Xiao's words, she immediately went to look for the hidden arrow on Ling Xiao's arm.
The Black Devouring Ant saw that its prey had moved, so it also began to move. It shook its body and attacked the young girl and Ling Xiao.
The young girl finally took off the hidden arrow on Ling Xiao's arm and turned around to directly shoot at the Black Devouring Ant.
The Black Devouring Ant was immediately hit by the arrow. It stopped its body and repeatedly let out strange cries.
However, just when the young girl thought that the Black Devouring Ant would undoubtedly die, the Black Devouring Ant actually ran over again.
"Why is it useless?!" The young girl turned pale with fright and cried out in alarm. The hidden arrow in her hand shot out again.
The last two arrows of the hidden arrow landed on the Black Devouring Ant's body.
The Black Devouring Ant was shot repeatedly and three small holes opened up on its body. It was in so much pain that it went berserk. It sped up its footsteps and smashed one of its slender legs towards the young girl.
The young girl couldn't dodge in time and her body was fiercely whipped into the air. Then, she fell heavily onto the ground.
The Black Devouring Ant still didn't seem to be satisfied as its slender leg continued to smash towards the young girl.
Ahhh!
The pitiful young girl screamed continuously from the Black Devouring Ant's abuse. The light muslin on her body was torn in many places and streaks of blood gushed out.
At this time, Ling Xiao's heart felt as if it was being cut by a knife. He lay on the ground and gritted his teeth. His mouth kept shouting madly, "Faster … faster …"
The two great profound arts in Ling Xiao's body circulated rapidly. The profound energy washed the damaged muscles in his body again and again, and the light around his body became more and more dazzling.
Finally, after the two great profound arts absorbed the medicinal power of the pellets, his body quickly healed. Those injuries were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Done!" Ling Xiao cried out in surprise as his body bounced up from the ground.
He didn't think too much as both his legs swept up a fierce profound energy and fiercely kicked towards the Black Devouring Ant.
Grass in the Wind!
Pu pu!
Ling Xiao consecutively kicked the round tail of the Black Devouring Ant a few times.
The Black Devouring Ant was kicked away by Ling Xiao.
