Chapter 119: A Brief Encounter with a Senior
Chapter 119: A Brief Encounter with a Senior
Autumn Frost now hoped that Su Chen would take the jade pendant and leave.
Beyond the wilderness, she was still injured and weak.
She no longer had the strength to fight Su Chen.
"Senior, do you remember me?" Autumn Frost asked.
Although Autumn Frost didn't recognize Su Chen, he recognized her.
On that winter day when he first arrived in Tiangang City, Su Chen went to the wilderness to gather medicinal herbs.
It was then that he encountered an Earthly Demon, and Autumn Frost had helped him.
But at this moment, Autumn Frost was no longer as powerful as she once was, and her strength seemed to have diminished significantly.
Hearing Su Chen's words, Autumn Frost remained vigilant.
"Don't come any closer, just stand there and talk."
In the wilderness, she was clearly not going to trust anyone easily.
"Last winter, in the wilderness near Mao Family Valley, Senior, you drove away an Earthly Demon.
I wanted to give you some herbs, but you didn't want them."
Upon hearing this, Autumn Frost seemed to recall something.
Especially when Su Chen went to retrieve the herb pouch and wanted to give it to her as a token of gratitude.
She found it quite amusing.
"Senior..."
"Just stand there. If you truly appreciate that I saved you, then don't bother me."
Even though they had met once before, Autumn Frost still didn't trust Su Chen.
She would rather save herself than rely on the help of a stranger.
As she spoke, she wiped the bloodstains from her face.
Although her face was somewhat dirty, one could still see that she was born with exquisite beauty.
She seemed slightly older than Su Chen, but calling her 'Senior' made Autumn Frost feel a bit older than she actually was.
Su Chen also understood the current situation.
After all, they were still strangers to each other, and there wasn't much interaction between them.
Thinking of this, Su Chen placed the jade pendant she had thrown at him on the ground.
Then, he took out a set of clothes and a bottle of hemostatic medicine from his bundle and placed it aside.
"Demons are very sensitive to the smell of blood. Senior, it's best if you change into a new set of clothes.
Otherwise, it's very likely that you'll attract the attention of other demons."
After saying this, Su Chen walked towards the dying Earthly Demon.
Seeing Su Chen move, Autumn Frost became even more vigilant, pointing her sword at him.
But as she moved, more blood seeped from her wound.
Su Chen walked up to the Earthly Demon and stabbed its neck with his sword.
However, this stab failed to penetrate its body.
The power of his Seventh Stage Valley Embrace Realm was no match for the Earthly Demon's strength. After hesitating for a moment, Su Chen could only give up on delivering the finishing blow.
This Earthly Demon was already near death, and it was only a matter of time before it perished.
Grasping the Earthly Demon's ankle, Su Chen prepared to drag it away.
"I'll drag this demon's corpse around the area, and after the blood scent disperses, it can interfere with the judgment of the surrounding demons.
But Senior, it's still best for you to leave this place.
The smell of blood here is too strong, and within half an hour, there will definitely be other demons attracted to it."
After saying this, Su Chen dragged the Earthly Demon away.
As Su Chen dragged the Earthly Demon, the wound on its neck bled faster and faster.
As they walked, the scent of blood spread throughout the surrounding wilderness.
Even if Autumn Frost had the scent of blood on her, the demonic energy from the Earthly Demon suppressed it, preventing it from attracting too much attention from other demons.
Watching Su Chen leave, Autumn Frost slowly sat down, no longer maintaining her battle-ready stance.
She never imagined that she would find herself in such an embarrassing situation.
Looking at the items Su Chen had left behind not far away, Autumn Frost hesitated for a moment before moving her body forward.
Seeing her jade pendant, she picked it up and put it away.
She examined the hemostatic medicine beside her, and after confirming that it was fine, she applied it to her wound.
The effect of the hemostatic medicine was quite noticeable, and upon contact with the wound, it seemed to immediately become sticky.
Although it may not look aesthetically pleasing, the effect is indeed remarkable.
However, her current injuries are not merely bleeding wounds.
The spiky boar demon is dangerous, and it's easy to get injured when fighting it.
Autumn Frost's body is still pierced by several spikes.
Every movement causes a surge of piercing pain.
In front of her, there is the set of clothes left by Su Chen.
Looking at her bloodstained clothes, Autumn Frost hesitates for a moment before changing into Su Chen's clothes.
The clothes are for men and are naturally not as well-fitted for Autumn Frost, being much looser.
Her figure is barely concealed by the clothes, making her feel even more uncomfortable.
After dealing with the clothes, Autumn Frost now has to consider how to leave this wilderness.
As she slightly moves her body, multiple stabs of pain shoot through her.
Autumn Frost can endure the pain, but the venomous spikes are deeply embedded in her body, and each movement causes the poison to spread faster.
She realizes that Su Chen was right.
With such a strong scent of blood in the air, demons will soon arrive.
If another earth demon comes, she won't be able to withstand it.
Hesitating, Autumn Frost still endures the pain and moves her body towards the south, the same direction Su Chen left.
She was once proud, but now she seems to understand that she needs some help.
Instead of Su Chen's proactive offer of assistance, she is now asking for his help, making her feel even more vulnerable.
At this moment, Su Chen has already dragged the earth demon's body for two miles, and ahead is a cliff.
After some thought, Su Chen directly throws down the demon's body.
This will confuse the demons and mislead their judgment.
In fact, the earth demon's body already has some value.
Its tough hide and sharp spikes are quite useful.
However, dragging a demon like this for hundreds of miles is indeed dangerous.
Even with Su Chen's Demon Hunter Extraordinaire Heaven's Mandate, this is a bit too reckless.
After dealing with the earth demon's body, Su Chen prepares to return to Tiangang City.
He plans to change directions and detour around the cliff to descend the mountain.
Originally, he intended to go to the mystic realm marked on the map, but he abandoned that plan.
The senior who saved him in the wilderness outside Tiangang City demonstrated Fourth Rank Transformation Realm power.
Today, she suffered such severe injuries, and going there alone would be even more perilous.
Moreover, the mystic realm was left by a predecessor, not by demons.
His abilities do not provide an advantage in exploring mystic realms.
At best, he can find some valuable herbs based on the map.
As he turns back, he hasn't gone far when he sees Autumn Frost leaning against a tree, her face already pale.
Her lips are even whiter, and she appears weaker than before.
"Can you help me?" Autumn Frost asks.
Understanding her situation, Autumn Frost doesn't need to ponder whether Su Chen is good or bad.
She knows she cannot save herself.
Seeing this, Su Chen nods without saying more.
He then takes out his long knife and cuts down a tree nearby, shaving off some wooden boards.
He intends to join these boards together to create a sled to drag Autumn Frost away.
However, before he finishes making the large wooden sled, Su Chen senses a powerful presence approaching.
Without hesitation, he drops the wooden boards and rushes over to pick up Autumn Frost.
With the Graceful and Spirit Qi Conduit Heaven's Mandates activated, he swiftly escapes towards the west.
His Cloudwalking Steps are executed to perfection, not wasting a single moment.
