The young lady was very curious. How could there be a person lying in the primeval forest in the wilderness? Could it be a dead person?
Thinking of this, the young lady was shocked. An image of a victim being killed in the wilderness and his corpse being dumped in the forest appeared in her mind.
She could not help but slow down as she walked over. To a young lady, encountering a dead person was still very frightening.
"Su Wan 'er, what are you looking at? Hurry up and go to the mountain over there to look. If you can't complete the task today, you will be punished again."
An older woman beside Su Wan 'er urged her. Why was this Su Wan 'er so silly? She came out to gather medicinal herbs like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. What was there to see in a lousy forest?
"Sister Yuting, there seems to be … there seems to be a dead person …"
Su Wan 'er's small hand clutched the corner of her shirt as she pointed to the forest. From her angle, she could coincidentally see the person lying there.
"What! A dead person? "
The woman called Sister Yuting was also shocked. In the primeval forest, there were no villages ahead or shops behind. There was no one within a radius of a hundred miles. Other than the disciples in charge of gathering medicinal herbs, no one would come here at all. How could there be a dead person in the forest?
Yang Yuting followed Su Wan 'er's gaze and indeed saw a person lying on the ground, not moving at all.
"Let's go over and take a look."
Yang Yuting was much older, so she was naturally more daring. She immediately walked over. Su Wan 'er was curious and followed Yang Yuting over.
The other disciples who were gathering medicinal herbs saw the two of them acting strangely. When they learned that there was a "dead person" lying on the ground, they also walked over curiously.
Very quickly, the five medicinal herb gathering disciples walked to the side of the person lying on the ground.
They could tell at a glance that the person was wearing an outer uniform and was not from their ancient martial arts sects. Generally speaking, most people in ancient martial arts sects would wear the sect's uniform, and the sect's uniforms were basically vintage clothes. Even if some people had a few different styles of clothes, they would rarely wear them out.
"He is not from the mountains. He was probably killed and his body was dumped here, "a slightly older male disciple with a full beard said.
When ancient martial arts practitioners met outsiders, they would usually call themselves "from the mountains." Another meaning of a mountain person was an ancient martial art practitioner who practiced in the deep mountains.
"This person is quite young, probably only in his early twenties. He's so young. How could he have been killed?" Yang Yuting said with some regret. He was probably still a child in a family outside.
Before she was ten years old, she had a happy family. Her whole family treated her like a princess. Then, an unexpected calamity befell her and she became an orphan. Later on, she coincidentally entered a sect and started to cultivate ancient martial arts.
"Let's go. What's so interesting about a dead man?" The bearded man waved his hand and prepared to leave.
"Wait, he seems to still be breathing."
Su Wan 'er, who had been staring curiously at the "corpse", suddenly realized that something was wrong. That was because that person was actually breathing very softly. She was the most meticulous out of everyone, and at the same time, she had very sharp senses. Although that breathing sound was so soft that it could not be heard, it still did not escape her notice.
"He's still breathing? It can't be!" A youth who was only slightly older than Su Wan 'er exclaimed in shock. She was injured to this extent, but she was still alive?
"He's really not dead. I can feel his heartbeat."
Su Wan 'er took a step forward. After discovering that it was not a dead person, she was no longer afraid. She walked up to the person's side and placed her small hand on the person's chest. Although his heartbeat was very slow, it was very strong.
This person was none other than Mo Wen, who had been injured and had fallen into the forest.
Although he had killed the black-robed vampire, the injuries he had sustained were also unimaginable. Moreover, the most frightening injury was actually the destructive lightning backlash that the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear had inflicted on him. If his body had not been strong enough, he most likely would have been reduced to ashes.
When the others heard this, they were immediately shocked. He was already in such a state, but he was still alive. His life was really tough.
The man's clothes were in tatters and were stained with blood everywhere. There was a pool of blood in front of his chest that had soaked the front of his clothes. He was lying on the ground motionlessly. Anyone who saw him would think that he was dead.
"I feel that he can still be saved."
Su Wan 'er felt Mo Wen's pulse. She discovered that although his injuries were very serious, his pulse was very stable. He did not seem like a person who was about to die. She could not help but feel happy.
"How can he be saved? If he doesn't die now, he will die sooner or later. Let's not even talk about whether he will starve to death in this wilderness. Even if he doesn't starve to death, he will be taken away by the wolves."
The man with the side whiskers shook his head and said expressionlessly, "Let's go. Don't worry about this person. We have not completed our task today."
"How can we just leave him here? If we don't save him, he will really die." Su Wan 'er was a little anxious. She was born kind and did not want a life to be lost when she had the ability to save it. She would feel guilty if she did.
"Junior Sister Wan 'er, you are not going to bring him back to the sect, are you?"
The man with the side whiskers was shocked. He glared at Su Wan 'er. He knew Junior Sister Wan' er's character too well. She might really do something like this. But how could they bring such a person back to the sect? They would not be able to get past the elders of the sect.
"Yes. If we bring him back to the sect, perhaps he can be saved." Su Wan 'er nodded. She did not notice that there was something wrong with her senior's tone. She thought that bringing a person who was on the verge of death back to the sect for treatment was something that should be done.
"You …" The man with the side whiskers was so angry that he could not speak. Su Wan 'er was too blind.
"Junior Sister, this person is not related to us. Why should we save him? We still have a task that we have not completed. Bringing him along is simply a burden. You don't want to be punished because you cannot complete your task, do you?"
Another youth tried to persuade her. Bringing this person back to the sect was definitely an irrational action. Their Five Tigers Sect was not a charity organization. How could they bring just anyone in?
"Senior Brother, saving a life is better than building a seven-storied pagoda. How can you leave him to die?" Su Wan 'er objected. Since they had encountered such a situation, there was no reason not to save him.
"Junior Sister Wan 'er, don't be naughty. Listen to me on this matter. Saving him will not do you any good," the man with the side whiskers said, suppressing his temper. This junior sister was too naive. She did not even know who this person was and whether he was a good person or a bad person. Yet, she wanted to take the risk to save him.
"No, Senior Brother, I think that it is fate that he met us. Perhaps even the heavens told us to save him. Wan 'er knows that good karma will reap good karma. Being kind to others is a principle that Master has taught me since I was young," Su Wan' er insisted.
The man with the side whiskers was completely helpless. He looked at Yang Yuting and said, "Junior Sister Yuting, please persuade her."
"Senior Brother Lu, you still don't know Junior Sister Wan 'er's character. Once she has decided on something, even nine bulls cannot pull her back," Yang Yuting said helplessly.
Although saving a life was a good deed, and she had the ability to save a person, she felt somewhat guilty watching him die in the forest. However, logically speaking, Yang Yuting would not save this person.
"Junior Sister Wan 'er, I am a straightforward person. This time, we have a target mission. If we do not complete the mission, we will all be punished. Do you want to drag everyone down by bringing along such a burden?"
The youth, who had not spoken all this while, said with a cold expression. It was not easy for them to find precious medicinal herbs in the primeval forest. Bringing along such a burden would first drag everyone down.
As soon as he said this, the surrounding people immediately stopped talking. They either lowered their heads to look at their feet or looked elsewhere. Although what the youth had said was indeed a bit too much, it was indeed what they were thinking. It was just that they could not say it out loud.
Would they still be able to complete the mission if they brought along such a living dead person?
Su Wan 'er bit her lower lip and lowered her head. Tears welled up in her eyes. After a while, she raised her head and said softly, "Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, I know that I will drag everyone down by doing this. I do not want to do anything to let you down, but I cannot watch a life pass by without saving him. So, I have decided to leave the medicinal herb gathering team and return to the sect to ask for forgiveness. "
As she said this, Su Wan 'er bent down and picked Mo Wen up. It was strange for her petite body to carry Mo Wen, but she was an ancient martial art practitioner. Carrying Mo Wen was naturally not a problem.
The few of them looked at Su Wan 'er's silhouette as she left. Their eyes were full of complicated emotions. Su Wan' er was the youngest junior sister among them and was usually the one who was protected. But now, they discovered that Su Wan 'er had courage and determination that they did not have.
No one noticed that when Su Wan 'er carried Mo Wen, Mo Wen's fingers trembled slightly.
When Mo Wen opened his eyes again, the sky outside was dark. It was clearly nighttime.
Mo Wen lay on the bed with only his eyes open. He discovered that his entire body was stiff, as though it had been sealed by stone. Waves of pain continuously attacked his mind, making it difficult for him to move.
"I am really unlucky this time."
Mo Wen laughed bitterly. His injuries were much more serious than he had imagined. His body was filled with a destructive lightning power that could destroy the tissues in his body at any time. What was more frightening was that the destructive power had blocked all the meridians in his body. Not only did it block his self-healing ability, but it also sealed his cultivation.
As long as the destructive lightning power was not expelled, his injuries would not recover. Right now, he was lying on the bed and could not move. He was no different from a cripple.
"If I had known, I would not have used the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear."
Mo Wen revealed a smile that was uglier than crying. Although the power of the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear was ridiculously powerful, he had only used it once and it had almost taken his life. In the future, when he was not capable enough, it would be better not to touch it.
"Fortunately, there is still the Vital Qi and the power of Ji Wuya's inheritance left in my body. I can slightly resist the destructive lightning power and gradually heal my body. Otherwise, I really do not know what to do this time."
Mo Wen breathed a sigh of relief when he discovered that there were still two powers in his body that were fighting against the power of thunder. Once his injuries were slightly better, he could open the medicine spiritual ring and take out the healing panaceas inside. They would more or less help his injuries recover. (To be continued.)
