The middle-aged man's clothes were very ordinary, as ordinary as a straw that could be found everywhere in the Southern Wasteland jungle.
He was wearing a short-sleeved shirt made from coarse flax, knee-length shorts made from the same material, and a pair of cowhide shoes, which were woven from thin rattan. His long hair was tied behind his head with a piece of grass, and his simple clothes were very neat and tidy.
He had a squarish face and a pair of spirited eyes that did not disperse. He gave off a very magnanimous and reliable feeling. When Ji Hao saw the middle-aged man, he even sensed the same fatherly love that Ji Xia had sensed from him.
Compared to the Southern Wasteland warriors, he was only a head taller than Ji Hao, and couldn't be compared to those Fire Crow Clan warriors, who were over three meters tall. However, he didn't seem to be skinny at all. On the contrary, when he stood up, he gave people a sense of sturdiness, just like a bear patrolling its territory.
The middle-aged man didn't have any special sense of power, just like those ancient trees and rocks that could be found everywhere in the jungle, simple and natural. Even a first level Novice Magus of the Fire Crow Clan had a sense of power that was much stronger and stronger than this middle-aged man.
However, when Ji Hao looked at him, he felt that this middle-aged man was like a boundless ocean; he didn't know how broad it was, nor how deep it was. The feeling that this middle-aged man gave Ji Hao was even more mysterious and unfathomable than that of Po.
The heavy rain was blown by the strong wind, roaring down.
However, the middle-aged man's clothes were clean, not even a drop of water or mud could be found on him. Even after he had held Ji Hao and Man Man up, not even a drop of rain had fallen on them. The wind was still the same, and the rain was still the same, but neither the wind nor the rain could touch the middle-aged man's body, as if the small area where Ji Hao and Man Man were standing on was a sunny day, and shouldn't be affected by any wind or rain.
A black and white pigeon flew out of the middle-aged man's sleeve, stood on the middle-aged man's shoulder with a rice ear in its beak, and started pecking carefully.
"Hehe, little guy, you're awake." The middle-aged man held Ji Hao and Man Man's hands and carefully let them sit under a big tree by the river, then reached his hand into a leather pocket tied around his waist and took out a fist-sized, black jade bottle.
The pigeon curiously looked at Ji Hao, while continuously cooing.
Mr Crow poked his head out of Ji Hao's chest, weakly looking at the pigeon. The two birds stared at each other, while letting out 'caw' and 'caw' sounds from time to time.
The middle-aged man poured out two thumb-sized pills from the jade bottle and pointed his finger at them. The pills exploded, transformed into two streams of green mist and drilled into Ji Hao and Man Man's bodies.
Instantly, Ji Hao's internal organs, which felt like they were being burned by fire, felt refreshed. Countless hidden wounds inside his body healed quickly, and countless dark blood clots emerged from his pores in the form of thin streams of blood. Soon, the blood clots accumulated on his skin, forming a thick layer of scabs.
Man Man's little face was twisted, and she couldn't stop twisting her shoulders. The wound on her back, which had injured her lungs, was squirming quickly. A layer of green light and a layer of blood-red light were clashing against each other, and streams of blood were flowing out of the wound. Destruction and healing, these two opposing powers clashed against each other, bringing Man Man great pain.
"It's the corrosive power of the Blood Moon." The middle-aged man frowned, snorted coldly and said, "As I thought, a bunch of monsters are behind you. These bloody monsters, have they become so tyrannical in the Southern Wasteland? Little girl, your Abba... hm, isn't your Abba in the Southern Wasteland? "
Man Man looked at the middle-aged man in surprise and asked, "Uncle, do you know my Abba?"
The middle-aged man smilingly nodded, patted Man Man's head hard and said, "My name is Si Wen Ming, I do know your Abba. When you were born, your Abba had extorted a hundred Yellow Middle Plums from me, and gave them to you to strengthen your body. "
Si Wen Ming sniffled, pressed his hand on the wound on Man Man's back, and released a thick stream of yellow mist from his palm. The blood-red light, which had been entangled in Man Man's wound, was forcibly drawn out by the yellow mist. The yellow mist rotated, and soon, the blood-red light was ground into a strand of smoke, dissipating in the air.
The power of the Blood Moon dissipated, and Man Man's wound healed speedily under the nourishment of the green mist. She opened her mouth and spat out a few mouthfuls of blood, and her life-force was completely recovered. Now, she was even more energetic than Ji Hao.
Si Wen Ming dipped his finger into the blood Man Man spat out, carefully put it to his nose and sniffed, then grinned and said, "Hehe, I didn't mistake you for someone else, you're indeed old Zhu Rong's daughter. If your Abba was in the Southern Wasteland, who dared to beat you like this, he would have been roasted and turned into firewood long ago, wouldn't he? "
Man Man grabbed Ji Hao's ragged sleeve, tears gushing out of her eyes, and said, "Abba wasn't in the Southern Wasteland, so I sneaked out to play... Old Yan is dead, all my guards are dead, boohoo, a Bi Fang Clan woman colluded with those monsters and killed Old Yan and his guards!"
Ji Hao had been staring at Si Wen Ming, and felt that this name was a bit familiar.
Hearing Si Wen Ming and Man Man's words, Ji Hao was shocked again. Man Man's Abba, old Zhu Rong? Zhu Rong? Ji Hao tried his best to control his emotions. As he expected, Man Man was the daughter of the legendary ruler of the Southern Wasteland.
According to the legends that Fire Crow Clan's Maguspriests had told their children, the Zhu Rong Family, the supreme ruler of the Southern Wasteland, wasn't a human being, but a divine being, a real divine being. The leader of the Zhu Rong Family, Zhu Rong, was the God of Fire, who could control all kinds of flames in the world, and was also the true God of the Southern Wasteland.
Ji Hao had always been noncommittal about the term 'divine being'. The Zhu Rong Family was probably an extremely powerful clan, and they had put the title of 'divine being' on Ji Hao's head. However, Ji Hao was indeed curious about the Zhu Rong Family, and now, Man Man, the youngest daughter of the Zhu Rong Family, was sitting right beside him, crying.
Ji Hao reached out his hand and patted Man Man's head, then said blandly, "Alright, Man Man, Jiang Yao, that evil woman, has been killed by me."
Abruptly, a shrill, vicious growl came from the river, "You killed Jiang Yao! Damn you, little bastard! I'm going to chop you into a thousand pieces! Damn it, I didn't even have the chance to taste her, and you already blew her up. I have no interest in dead people! "
Di Luo, who had a hole on his right chest, was riding on a metal centipede and rushing towards Si Wen Ming along the river, with the help of two three-eyed young men. Over a thousand Jia Clan's warriors and nearly ten thousand slave warriors were rushing towards Si Wen Ming and Si Wen Ming like fierce monsters.
"Just as I thought, it's an evil ghost! If I didn't bump into you, I wouldn't have cared, but since I have bumped into you, hehe. "
Si Wu Ming laughed and pulled out the black iron sword that was carried on his back, then simply thrust the sword forward.
The ground within a radius of a thousand miles slightly trembled, and a great power flashed across the air. Di Luo and the large group of elite warriors of the Blood Fang, who had been brought by him, suddenly froze. The expressions on their faces were completely frozen. Along with a gust of wind, Di Luo and the warriors of the Blood Fang turned into a puff of smoke and dissipated in the air.
Along with a series of clanging sounds, the armors, weapons and accessories of Di Luo and the warriors of the Blood Fang all fell down.
Ji Hao and Man Man both opened their mouths wide, and couldn't say a word for quite a while.
