Chapter 185: Chapter 185 Earthfire Tribe, Huo Liuli

On the other side, when Xiao Zhan woke up, he found himself in a room that resembled a mountain cave.

The room was very hot and dry, with a sensation of fire roasting, making him sweat all over.

But the temperature was not too high, just at the limit of what he could bear.

He tried to sit up from the bed, but as soon as he moved, a tearing pain came from his waist.

He looked at his wound and found that it had been bandaged, but the bandaging was somewhat crude, and he could see the medicine applied to the wound, red and sticky, like stamp-pad ink.

He wasn’t sure if it was because of the medicine or the surrounding environment, but the wound felt slightly roasted, a bit warm, a bit itchy, making Xiao Zhan want to scratch it.

Besides this, he realized that all his clothes had been removed, leaving only his underwear, which made him sit up ignoring the pain of his wound.

Then he looked around the room, immediately searching for Ye Youlong’s shadow.

But the room was empty.

He panicked in an instant.

Ye Youlong was so beautiful, and these natives were shrouded in mystery; if anything happened to Ye Youlong, he would never forgive himself.

Just as he got up and planned to head out the door, the door opened first, and a woman came in with two people.

Xiao Zhan looked at the woman and immediately recognized her as the one who had knocked him out before he passed out.

With both alertness and anxiety, he asked, "Where’s Ye Youlong? Where is she?"

"Ye Youlong?"

"She’s my wife, the woman who was captured with me by you."

"Oh, you mean her, she’s fine, recuperating just like you in the next room."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan’s worry lessened a bit.

He hastily went out the door, heading toward the room next door.

However, the woman stopped him, "Your wound has not healed yet, such vigorous movement will make the wound worse."

But Xiao Zhan did not heed her advice; what did the wound matter compared to his wife?

Coming to the room next door, he pushed open the door and indeed saw Ye Youlong lying inside.

However, just as the woman had said ’just like him,’ Ye Youlong had been stripped of her clothes and changed into a set of loose garments.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Zhan’s heart inevitably tensed up again.

But at this moment, the woman timely appeared behind Xiao Zhan and said, "Don’t worry, I personally changed her clothes."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan’s tense heart breathed a sigh of relief.

He then came to Ye Youlong’s side, checking her injuries, but he didn’t understand any treatments and after a long gaze, he only knew that Ye Youlong seemed fine on the surface.

He tried calling her name gently a couple of times, but Ye Youlong did not wake up.

Xiao Zhan became nervous again, "How is she doing?"

"Her injuries are all internal, having affected her organs and meridians, they are much more serious than yours, and she is still unconscious."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan’s face showed a pained guilt.

Usually, when Spirit Masters and Artifact Spirits battle, the most seriously injured are the Spirit Masters. Spirit Masters can easily suffer broken arms and legs, while Artifact Spirits do not; injuries to Artifact Spirits are generally widespread.

The injuries are more evenly distributed, and after getting hurt, the whole body feels uncomfortable, with very few individual areas being seriously affected.

This phenomenon has its pros and cons. The upside is that injuries heal quickly, and even typical wounds don’t cause much impact.

The downside is that once attacked by a force they cannot resist, Artifact Spirits can be entirely paralyzed.

To put it simply, Artifact Spirits are either unscathed or completely broken. Unlike Spirit Masters, who can still fight even if an arm or leg is broken.

Huang Jun’s Spirit Manipulation Technique Sword Light Flash was too powerful, not something Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong could withstand, so Ye Youlong absorbed most of the damage.

This is what caused her injuries to be more severe than Xiao Zhan’s.

Thinking of how Ye Youlong had been supporting him when they later fled, Xiao Zhan felt a deep pain in his heart.

"When will she wake up?"

"About two or three days."

Hearing this response, Xiao Zhan breathed a sigh of relief.

He then looked at the woman and sincerely said, "Thank you."

The woman didn’t say anything in response.

Xiao Zhan continued to ask, "My name is Xiao Zhan, what’s your name?"

"Huo Liuli."

Xiao Zhan nodded, "How long have I been unconscious?"

"Two days."

Two days, and Huang Fei hasn’t found them?

It seems this place is relatively safe.

"Where is this place?"

"Demon Beast Forest... Earthfire Tribe."

Earthfire Tribe?

Xiao Zhan had never heard of this place.

But it was normal that he hadn’t; there were many things in this world that Xiao Zhan hadn’t heard of.

Xiao Zhan wanted to express his gratitude again, but that’s when he realized he was only wearing underwear.

He immediately took out clothes from the Dimension Space to put on.

Huo Liuli, upon seeing Xiao Zhan’s ability to conjure items from thin air, was immediately intrigued, showing a spark of curiosity.

"I suggest you don’t put on clothes for the time being, this room is warmed by earthfire, wearing clothes can affect the healing effect on your injuries."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan’s hands stopped mid-motion.

But seeing such a pretty woman standing in front of him, he felt a bit shy, thought for a bit, and still decided to find a pair of larger underwear to put on.

The wound is at the waist, wearing underwear shouldn’t affect it, right?

"By the way, where’s my clothing?"

Speaking of clothing, Xiao Zhan was frustrated.

He had been wearing the Seven-colored Soft Scales left to him by Ye Wuming, but, frustratingly, the spot where the armor was torn was precisely at the waist.

This led to him not being able to block Huang Jun’s strike; otherwise, he wouldn’t be so miserable now.

Hearing this, Huo Liuli said, "Are you referring to that soft armor? It’s with the Clan Leader."

"Clan Leader? Can you help me retrieve it?"

The Seven-colored Soft Scales were really useful and had always been his trump card, having saved his life from Huang Jun’s hands.

It was just his bad luck that it didn’t come into play.

Huo Liuli said, "The Clan Leader said to see her after you wake up."

"See her?"

Xiao Zhan thought for a moment, "Alright then."

Although he didn’t know why the Clan Leader wanted to see him, since they had saved him, he should express his thanks in person.

Then he asked Huo Liuli to take him to the Clan Leader.

But Huo Liuli stopped him again, "You should heal your injuries first. Your wound carries a strong Sword Energy that prevents it from healing. In this room, the heat from the earthfire will consume that Sword Energy, allowing you to heal faster."

"It’s fine, I can do it."

"I suggest you heal first."

Huo Liuli smiled, her tone was gentle, but her attitude was firm.

Xiao Zhan looked at her expression, held her gaze for two seconds, then nodded.

"Alright then."
