"It's good that you made it through." Aoki clapped his hands, signaling Dark Crow and Abigail to come over for lunch.
The first time was the most unbearable, but as long as they made it through the first time, there shouldn't be any problems in the future.
After shedding his skin, Abigail's injuries were mostly healed. As for Circle Bear, he was more pitiful. One of his eyes was big, and the other was small. He walked with a limp, but when it came to eating, he was completely unrestrained. He ate as he pleased.
Aoki got a bowl of fish soup and drank it slowly. He didn't care how the elves fought over the food.
This was also a way for them to improve their relationship.
After lunch, he went on his journey to find a point card again.
He wasn't in a hurry to find Yang Ping. Dark Crow's talent hadn't reached dark green yet, so Aoki wasn't confident that he could beat him.
Of course, the two of them would definitely fight before the end of the trial. After all, Aoki probably had the most points out of everyone present.
.....
In the afternoon, Aoki continued to look for point cards.
However, when Aoki picked up a point card, Dazed Beast and Dark Crow reminded Aoki at the same time.
Not far from him, someone was watching him.
"I wonder which friend is here. Why don't you come out and meet me?" Aoki said with a smile.
People who didn't come out were either like Green Phoenix, who couldn't be discovered by the elves at a certain distance, or they would be discovered by Dazed Beast and Dark Crow as soon as a human approached.
Following Aoki's words, a person slowly walked out of the forest. Beside him was a large wolfhound the size of a calf.
Seeing this elf, Lin Huang knew who it was.
Alec!
He was the temporary leader of the lone wolves. He should be someone sent by one of the captains of the Rocket Team.
The person was wearing a black cloak. After walking a short distance, he pulled down half of the wide hood on his head, revealing half of his face.
"Alec, it's you. Why are you looking for me? "Aoki didn't believe that the two of them had bumped into each other by chance. There shouldn't be such a coincidence.
"Aoki." Yeric's voice was a little hoarse, as if he wasn't in a good condition.
"I met a woman who told me that you might be here."
"A woman?" Qing Mu immediately thought of Qing Feng, whom he had met before.
There was a high probability that it was her, but he didn't know why she had asked Alec to find him.
Under Aoki's influence, Yeric had always been a pragmatic person. Furthermore, he wasn't weak. For him to be able to survive until now under Aoki's pressure, he must have been mentally unstable.
Back when they were still on the trial island, the first person that Qing Mu wanted to recruit was actually Yeric. However, Qing Mu didn't have any resources back then, nor did he have any background. He didn't understand the true purpose of this trial, so he didn't make any moves in the end.
"A woman with orange hair?"
"Yes." Alec nodded slowly.
Aoki frowned. Yeric's current state was really a bit abnormal.
Although the two of them didn't talk much, Aoki had heard Yeric's voice before. It was obviously not this hoarse voice.
Moreover, he didn't feel it before, but when Yeric approached, Aoki smelled a faint scent of blood.
Not only that, Aoki also noticed blood stains on the large wolfhound beside Yeric, and a few wounds on its hind legs.
However, this obviously didn't have much to do with Aoki.
"What's the matter?" Aoki asked faintly. This was the first time the two of them had a normal conversation.
The Dark Crow and Dazed Beast beside him obviously sensed the scent on Yeric's body, so they didn't want him to get too close and suddenly attack Aoki.
Yeric didn't answer the question. Instead, he took off the black cloak that covered his entire body.
Seeing Yeric under the cloak, Aoki's pupils suddenly shrank.
The originally handsome Yeric's face was now covered in scars. Some of them were burns, while others were scratches from tree branches or other objects. Half of his face was almost destroyed. Although he had done some emergency treatment, it was inevitable that there would be scars.
What made Aoki even more surprised was Yeric's body. His black clothes were covered in wounds, and his exposed skin was covered in patches of green and purple. Some parts of his body were clearly not ordinary bruises, but poison! Poison!
Especially on Yeric's neck, there were two small holes. If it wasn't for the position, Yeric's neck would have been bitten off.
The reason why his voice was so hoarse was probably because of the scars on his neck.
There was almost no place on his body that didn't have blood stains. Some even looked like they had just scabbed over, and small streams of blood slowly flowed out of the scabs.
The smell of blood that Aoki and his elves smelled should be Yeric's own blood.
"Who did this?" Aoki frowned and asked. His body gradually emitted an aura that belonged to Aoki. This was a sign of Aoki's anger.
From the injuries on his body, his opponent should have the strength to kill him, but didn't do so. Instead, he chose to torture him! Ravaged Yeric!
Although Aoki had killed countless people, no matter who it was, Takeshi Aoki wouldn't choose to use two strikes if he could kill the enemy with one strike. Unless the enemy had some information that Aoki needed to know, then he would have to use some unusual methods.
But most of the time, Aoki believed in killing the enemy with one strike.
Just like Gaga before. Although the enmity between him and Aoki was very big, if Aoki wanted to capture him alive, he didn't do so. Instead, he let the Dark Crows kill him.
While respecting the opponent, it was also respecting oneself.
But now, Yeric was obviously being tortured by the enemy. The person who could do this to him must have captured him alive, but didn't directly kill him. Instead, he chose to use small wounds to stimulate his heart.
This was something that Aoki couldn't stand.
For example, the perverted body artist Paul did something that Aoki thought was very disgusting, so Aoki directly killed him.
But now, it seemed that there wasn't much difference between Yeric and Paul!
Paul!
Thinking of this name, Aoki raised an eyebrow. The person who did this to Yeric couldn't be …
Yangping!
A name automatically appeared in Aoki's mind.
"Yangping …" Yeric's voice was weak, but it was squeezed out from between his teeth.
Obviously, he hated Yangping to the extreme.
Yangping's actions were even worse than Paul's. No matter what, Paul would have killed that person in the end, but Yangping crippled all of Yeric's elves except for the Wolfhound in front of him.
In the end, he didn't kill him and let Yeric feel helpless, humiliated, and hopeless.
No wonder he could get along with someone like Paul.
