Although he was surprised by the black puppy's endurance, Lu Chen's hands did not stop. The black sword danced around the puppy's body, and not long after, three pieces of rotten flesh were cut off from the puppy's body. Fresh blood flowed all over the ground.
Then, Lu Chen skillfully took out some strange medicinal powder and sprinkled it on the puppy's wounds. The bleeding quickly stopped, and he used a white cloth to bandage the puppy's wounds.
After that, the puppy looked like it was on the verge of death. It had no strength left, and could only rest its head on the ground, gasping for air. On the other hand, Yi Xin, who was standing at the side, was horrified and horrified, and her face seemed to be slightly pale.
However, after seeing that the wounds were bandaged with white cloth, Yi Xin heaved a sigh of relief and said softly, "Thank you, Brother Lu."
Lu Chen looked at her and said, "It's not over yet."
"Ah?" Yi Xin was shocked and said, "What else?"
Lu Chen silently turned his head, as if he had nothing to say. He just pointed at the puppy's hind leg.
There was a broken leg there.
Yi Xin was speechless, and did not know what to say.
Fortunately, Lu Chen did not say much. He walked to the side and chopped a wooden stick, just like how he treated Yi Xin this morning. Taking advantage of this gap, Yi Xin squatted beside the puppy and said softly, "Puppy, don't be afraid. Brother Lu is very powerful. He will heal all your wounds …"
"This leg is different from your hand." Lu Chen's voice rang in her ear. Yi Xin looked up and saw Lu Chen squatting down again with a wooden stick. He said calmly, "Although your hand is broken, it was reattached quickly and there is medicine. If there are no accidents, it will recover in one or two months. However, this puppy's leg is different. It has been broken for too long."
"Ah, what will happen to it?" Yi Xin asked anxiously.
Lu Chen thought for a while and said, "It can probably be reattached, but it definitely won't recover. The best case scenario is that it will become a lame dog."
"Lame dog …" Yi Xin muttered blankly. She didn't know what to say.
On the other side, Lu Chen had already grabbed the broken dog's leg. First, he checked the wound, then he cleaned it carefully. He carefully aligned the bones and applied some medicinal powder. Finally, he used a strip of white cloth to tie the dog's leg tightly to the wooden stick.
At this point, the plan to save the dog had finally come to an end. Looking at it now, not only was the original black puppy bald, its body was also covered with white strips of cloth, and a wooden stick was tied to its hind leg. It was as comical as one could imagine, but compared to the tragic scene in the barbarian's cave, it was much better.
...
After such a torment, they were delayed for a long time. The two of them did not travel far that day. In the end, they only walked for a few miles from the river valley before the sky darkened.
As usual, it was not allowed to light a fire in the night in the Disordered Land. Lu Chen and Yi Xin did not stay in the open space near the river bank. According to Lu Chen, when night came, it was very likely that some monsters would come to the river bank to drink water. At that time, staying there would only lead to death.
Yi Xin naturally listened to Lu Chen. Thus, the two of them found a tall tree and climbed up, bringing along the dog.
When the sky was completely dark, Yi Xin leaned against the tree trunk and hugged the wrapped up dog in her arms. She comforted it softly, looking like she was comforting a child.
Her voice was slow and gentle, like the whispers of the forest, but also like a warm spring breeze.
"... Don't be afraid. We've already saved you, so of course we won't abandon you. At least we'll wait until you've recovered. When that time comes, I'll let you go … "
"Even if you let it go, it will still die," Lu Chen, who was sitting on the other side of the tree, suddenly said.
Yi Xin was a little surprised. "Why?"
Lu Chen raised his head and looked at the gloomy and dark night sky. After a moment of silence, he said, "Didn't you ask me earlier why this kind of dog doesn't need to be saved?"
"Yes."
"This dog is a mixed breed. Its bloodline comes from two kinds of monsters, the snow wolf and the black jackal. The Snow Wolf was a proud and powerful high-grade demon beast. It had always lived alone. When the male snow wolf is in heat, it will casually rape the weak black jackal because it can't find a mate. However, it will never care about its offspring. The black jackal, on the other hand, is naturally fierce and autistic. It especially values the purity of the dog's bloodline. Once a mixed breed like this appears in front of the black jackal, it will be attacked by all the black jackals and directly torn to pieces. This is also the reason why these mixed breeds almost never grow up. Almost all dogs are bitten to death as soon as they are born. "
Yi Xin silently lowered her head. The puppy in her arms softly whimpered. No one knew if it was complaining about its tragic fate.
...
Why this unlucky puppy was not bitten to death when it was born and why it fell into the hands of the old barbarian to be tortured? These things were naturally untraceable now.
However, the following days were considered peaceful. Lu Chen led Yi Xin and the puppy forward in the Disorienting Lands. They did not encounter any major problems along the way. About five days later, they finally returned to the Leaping Tiger Gorge.
Thinking about it, it was as if they had gone around in a circle and came back. However, there were four of them when they entered the Disorienting Lands, but only two were left. This inevitably made Yi Xin feel a little sad.
On the contrary, in these five days, the unlucky puppy seemed to have a cheap life. Its heavy injuries actually healed very quickly. After a few days, it was able to run around on the ground.
However, just as Lu Chen had said before, this puppy's leg was forever lame. When it ran, it would limp, making it look very awkward and ugly. Strangely enough, after this puppy was able to move around freely, Lu Chen and Yi Xin did not hold on to it. However, the puppy obediently followed them and never showed any signs of sneaking away. It just followed them all the way.
As they entered the Leaping Tiger Gorge, Lu Chen glanced at the puppy. Seeing that it was very curious as it limped back and forth, looking at the surrounding scenery, Lu Chen could not be bothered with it. Instead, he said to Yi Xin, "After this, we will be considered to have left the Disorienting Lands. Let's go our separate ways here."
Yi Xin's footsteps paused for a moment. After a moment of hesitation, she looked at Lu Chen with a sincere expression of gratitude. She said, "Brother Lu, I … really thank you."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Don't mention it. It was nothing."
Yi Xin shook her head and sighed. "It's not like that. I know that I am a very stupid person and caused you a lot of trouble along the way. Brother Lu, I won't say anything else. If there is a chance in the future, come find me at Kunlun Mountain. I will definitely … "
"Huh?" Lu Chen was stunned. He stopped in his tracks and looked at Yi Xin with a shocked expression. "What? You are a disciple of the Kunlun Party?"
