He could already imagine that if Meng Chao had not appeared in time, even if Leaf had not died in the flames the wolf officer had spat out, he would have died in just a short twenty minutes.
His organs and brain would have been too hot, and he would have died from spontaneous combustion in just a short twenty minutes.
Aside from Meng Chao …
In Turanze Continent and even Dragon City, the number of people who could save Leaf in such a dangerous situation could not be more than five.
Meng Chao's hands moved so quickly that they moved from Leaf's temples to the soles of his feet.
He had a basic understanding of the distribution of the spirit meridians in his body that were boiling like magma.
After thinking about it for a while, Meng Chao gently broke off a black spike from the burnt Mandala tree beside him. Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! The spike accurately pierced the periphery of Leaf's organs, where dozens of spirit meridians intersected.
Shick! Shick!
In an instant, colorful steam leaked out of Leaf's body.
It made him look like a boiler that had not been repaired for a long time and was leaking air.
As he listened to the piercing sounds, Meng Chao's furrowed eyebrows did not relax.
He jabbed Leaf's chest and abdomen with his fingers, and a ripple-like power seeped through his flesh and massaged his organs.
He made sure that while his spirit energy leaked out madly, it would not harm the teenager's organs, which had yet to fully develop.
An unknown amount of time passed.
Leaf moaned.
He coughed a few times and coughed up a glistening sticky liquid.
Only then did the ruthless aura surrounding him dissipate a little.
His deformed and swollen limbs were like inflators whose valves had been opened. At a visible speed, they gradually shrank back to their original size.
Meng Chao brought his index and middle fingers together and touched the teenager's forehead.
He noticed that while his forehead was still burning, it was no longer as hot as before, when it was so hot that it could melt steel.
Then, he placed two fingers above the teenager's lips.
He sensed the teenager's breathing gradually stabilize, and the temperature of the breath he exhaled kept dropping.
It was only then that Meng Chao sighed in relief.
He was finally saved!
It might have seemed like a normal jab, but only Meng Chao knew how dangerous it was.
Just then, Leaf's organs had been swollen by the rampaging spirit energy. It was as if they were filled with water and trembled like balloons.
If Meng Chao wanted to poke a small hole in such a "balloon" and squeeze out all the water inside, he would not be able to damage the balloon in the slightest. He could not let the balloon explode.
It was as difficult as ascending to heaven!
Even university professors who were familiar with the distribution of the 108 main meridians and 1,024 branch meridians in the human body as well as the intersection points of each spirit meridian would not be able to perform such a miraculous operation without the sensitive senses and exquisite skills gained from harvesting more than ten thousand monsters.
Not to mention that even though the beastmen and Earthlings had similar physiological structures and were close relatives that originated from the same genetic mother, the two parties had gradually drifted apart on the long path of evolution. There were very subtle differences in the structure of the intersecting spirit veins.
If Meng Chao had not spent a lot of effort to modify Leaf to get a qualified guide in the depths of the Blood Skull Coliseum's prison, he would not have been able to get familiar with the distribution of his spirit meridians.
He was afraid that there was nothing he could do to reverse the situation.
"You little brat, I clearly told you before we parted that you had to act according to the circumstances and be smarter. Why are you fighting so fiercely?
"Are you really counting on a sacred mountain floating outside of the atmosphere where a Great Horned Rat God is sitting cross-legged and waiting for you to sacrifice yourself so that he can drag you out of the atmosphere to enjoy endless feasts and battles?"
Meng Chao did not know whether he should laugh or cry when he saw that the rat man teenager's face was as pale as a sheet due to losing a lot of blood.
Leaf slowly woke up.
At that moment, he was still very weak because he had drained his stamina and lost a lot of blood.
Deformed, swollen, torn flesh, and even his bones were covered in fine cracks. His limbs, which had just returned to their original state, were like four torches covered in grease, burning crazily, causing him to feel a sharp pain that pierced his heart and bones.
However, it did not matter whether he was weak or in pain, it did not stop the rat man teenager from sacrificing his life for freedom and dignity. He rushed to hell and slaughtered his way through hell to reach the summit of the sacred mountain.
He didn't even see his surroundings clearly, and he didn't even see who had saved him. He was like a small fish in a muddy pond struggling with all his might, and with an extremely weak voice, he hysterically screamed, "Kill! Kill those jackals! For all the rat people! For the Ancient Dream Sacred Lady! For the Great Horned Rat God! "
Meng Chao felt his skin crawl.
He quickly used his left hand to support the back of Leaf's head.
Spirit energy gushed out of his palm and surged into the depths of his brain. It stabilized his brain and lowered his brain temperature so that the teenager could focus and calm down so that he would not suffer another concussion.
He raised his right hand high and mercilessly slapped the young man a dozen or so times in one go.
He slapped Leaf so hard that his cheeks bulged up like purple eggplants. His eyes bulged out, and he stared at Meng Chao for a long time.
"S-Harvester!"
It was only then that the rat man snapped out of his daze. He ignored the pain on his cheeks and bared his teeth in delight.
"He's finally awake!"
Meng Chao released a long sigh and put on a gratified smile.
"That's great, harvester. Since you're here, it must be the Great Horned Rat God's arrangement. This is great!"
Leaf's eyes shone. He did not look like a patient who had just shed a lot of blood. He pounced on Meng Chao and grabbed his arm tightly while shaking it madly. "Hurry, harvester, help us get rid of those damn jackals! The Ancient Dream Sacred Lady said that whether the Sixth Clan can gain a stable footing in Turanze and whether the millions of rat people can obtain true freedom and dignity will depend on this crucial battle!"
"…"
When Meng Chao saw Leaf mention the Ancient Dream Sacred Lady, he looked as if he was intoxicated and believed in her words.
Meng Chao felt bitter, as if the boy he had worked so hard to create had been snatched away by an outsider.
"Wake up, Leaf!"
Meng Chao controlled the rat man's arms and said in a low voice, "Do you remember the survival rules I taught you in the underground prison of Blood Skull Coliseum? Observe more, think more, and pay attention to hiding yourself. Unless it's absolutely necessary, don't bet all your chips on one player, including yourself, because our goal is to become the smallest player. We don't want to become the biggest chip! "
There was a very unique spirit energy around Meng Chao's throat.
It allowed his vocal cords to release high-frequency vibrations that were similar to ultrasound at a frequency that far surpassed that of a normal person.
The sound he produced could not only vibrate the listeners' eardrums and auditory nerves.
It could also reach the listeners' cerebral cortex and even the depths of their hearts.
Leaf shuddered a little.
His eyes became clearer than before.
It was as if the chains in his mind had been pierced by Meng Chao's words.
But the broken chains soon reconnected.
His expression became stubborn and even fanatical again.
"Reaper, I firmly remember every single word you told me. However, please believe me. The Ancient Dream Saintess is definitely right. This battle is really the key to the rise of the sixth clan and the salvation of all the rat people. You must help us!"
The rat man was so anxious that he was about to cry.
Meng Chao thought of something.
"You've seen the Ancient Dream Sacred Lady?"
Meng Chao said. "How do you know that what she said is definitely right? Don't forget, when we were in Black Horn City, we analyzed that the Great Horned Rat God might not exist. There must be a deeper mystery behind the Great Horned Army!"
"I don't know whether the Great Horned Rat God really exists, but the Ancient Dream Sacred Lady has indeed obtained the power of the Rat God. You can't imagine how amazing and unbelievable she is!"
Ye Zi anxiously said, "I have indeed seen the Ancient Dream Saintess. To be more precise, it was the Ancient Dream Saintess who saved us. If not for the Ancient Dream Saintess, we would have all died in Blackhorn City!
"What?"
Meng Chao was shocked. "When you say 'we', you mean …"
"It's me, Spider, and the twenty-nine servant soldiers that you rescued from the dungeon in the Blood Skull Arena in the beginning," Li Yao said.
After Leaf's explanation.
Only then did Meng Chao know the story of what happened to Leaf and the other rat men on the day when the biogas chain explosion turned Black Horn City upside down.
That day, under Meng Chao's encouragement, they slaughtered their way out of the chaotic Blood Skull Arena.
They tried to escape to the area where the rat men gathered and the underground tunnel was hidden.
But their luck was really bad. Halfway through, they ran into the few Blood Hoof Warrior squads left in the city and tried to kill them.
More than half of the ratfolk slave soldiers who had charged out of the Blood Skull Arena were instantly killed.
Only Leaf's squad of servant soldiers, because they had been personally trained by Meng Chao, showed an extremely tenacious style and fierce fighting strength. After paying the price of seven servant soldiers dying, they managed to kill an exhausted and wounded Blood Hoof Warrior.
Of course, at this time, all the survivors, including Leaf, were like arrows at the end of their flight.
In the face of the enraged Blood Hoof Warriors, they only had one choice left — to die.
Right at this moment, two rat people powerhouses wearing scarlet cloaks with skeletal rats embroidered on them descended from the sky.
Even to this day, Leaf did not forget the scene of them stepping on the blades and spines of the Blood Hoof Warriors and dancing lightly.
When they danced and casually took off the heads of the Blood Hoof Warriors, the shock they brought to the depths of his heart was no less than the shock of the biogas chain explosion!
