C717 (1/2)

Lin Zichen immediately jumped up to the hole on the mountainside. He immediately picked up Ling Ya and laid her down on the ground. Then, he placed three of his fingers on her pulse.

He discovered that Ling Ya's body was very weak, and there were signs of being infected by a Gu within her body. However, her aura was very distinct.

”Master, the Three-eyed Cloud Leopard tribe has six branches. The last time we went to the Cloud Leopard territory, there was a leader here who had seen us. That leader sensed your presence from Ling Ya's body and saved her!”

Lin Zi Chen nodded. ”Ling Ya has always been with us at the dragon's scale, so it's not strange that she has my aura. Looks like the Cloud Leopard tribe really saved her. Back then, you were right to ask me to let the Cloud Leopard race go.”

”That's right. Actually, the beast world is relatively simple. They will naturally be rewarded for the kindness you've shown them. Think about it, Black Feather and I are actually both beast races. Don't we also have feelings for each other?” Xiao Feng said.

”That's right, this feeling of camaraderie... It's even more sincere than when humans are fighting and scheming, killing each other, and even existing between blood brothers and sisters … ” At this point, Lin Zi Chen couldn't help but feel disappointed.

Ling Ya then said a few more words to the Three-eyed Cloud Leopard, ”Master, I asked them if they saw anyone with your aura on them. They said that they didn't.”

”Hmm? ”But Huo Qing …” Lin Zi Chen couldn't help but frown. Huo Qing and Ling Ya would definitely be inseparable, but the Cloud Leopard tribe wouldn't lie. This was strange.

”Master, I think we'll have to wait for Ling Ya to wake up first. At the very least, she should be the person closest to Huo Qing.” Xiao Feng said.

Lin Zi Chen nodded and said, ”Yes, Xiao Feng really owes it to you this time.”

”Master, do you still need to be courteous to Xiao Feng?” Xiao Feng said with a red face.

”Hehe, how about this, let these Cloud Leopards guard the valley for the time being while I take care of Ling Ya. She shouldn't be injured and should wake up soon. After that, I will remove the Gu for her.”

”Alright, Master.”

After Xiao Feng said a few words, the Cloud Leopards all stood up and ran towards a few spots in the valley. They looked around vigilantly, obviously already guarding Lin Zi Chen.

Lin Zichen circulated his true qi and also began to nurture Ling Ya.

Just like what Lin Zi Chen said, Ling Ya wasn't injured, she was just in a strange coma. Perhaps it was related to the Soul Erosion Gu, so she was able to awaken after over half an hour of recuperation.

Ling Ya slowly opened her eyes, and when she saw Lin Zichen, her eyes were immediately filled with tears.

”Zichen-gege …”

”Ling Ya, don't say anything for now, once I'm here everything will be safe. Your body is extremely weak, and there are still signs of being infected by the Gu in your body. You should adjust your own breathing first, and I can also help you remove the Soul Erosion Gu.”

Ling Ya nodded obediently. Although she didn't have the strength to sit up, she still lied down with her eyes closed and started to adjust the true energy within her body.

At the same time, Lin Zi Chen also placed the antidote into her mouth, and then pushed out his true qi, speeding up the process.

This went on for almost an hour. Ling Ya let out a long sigh of relief. Without the Soul Corrosion Gu, she seemed to have become much more energetic. With the infusion of Zhen Qi, she had recovered a lot more than before.

Lin Zi Chen helped Ling Ya up and said, ”Ling Ya, I already know about what happened in the mountain tribe. I came from the mountain tribe.”

”Then my father, the elder, and the others …”

”They were infected by the Red Shaman's Soul Erosion Gu, but I've already dispelled the Gu for them, don't worry.” Lin Zi Chen said.

Ling Ya slowly nodded her head and immediately tried to think of something. Very soon, she scratched her head in frustration. ”Why am I here?”

Lin Zi Chen told her about the Cloud Leopard tribe. Ling Ya couldn't believe that she was actually saved by these leopards.

”Ling Ya, what's going on?” Where's Huo Qing? ”

Hearing this, Ling Ya was stunned, she tried to think back for a while and said, ”Zichen-gege, I can't remember a lot of things, maybe it's because of the Gu's power, but I know a lot of people came to the mountain area, and those people should be the people from the Red Shaman Tribe that you mentioned.”

”Yes, he's the one who planted the Gu. So you're not with Huo Qing?”

”No, we have always been together, including that day …” It was obvious that Ling Ya's memory was affected by the Soul Erosion Gu, but with her vague memories, she still pieced together some images, ”The other day, when those people planted the Gu, Huo Qing took me out of the mountain area and said that they were going to wait for Long Lin's people to deal with this matter.”

Huo Qing was still very calm. After all, the strength of the Red Shaman Tribe was not simple. Even when he was fighting against Situ Zhentian, the strength of the Gu suddenly appeared, something that even Huo Qing couldn't withstand.

Until now, Lin Zicheng was not sure if the person who planted the Gu had anything to do with the Red Witch clan, and if it was also from Miao Jiang.

”But then … I really can't remember. ”

Ling Ya said as she scratched her head in remorse. She cried, ”It's all my fault. I can't remember anything.”
