Chapter 510: Rat Hunting
Chapter 510: Rat Hunting
"Just split from the mother..." Li Qian couldn't help but mutter, repeating what Grandmother Gu had said, and then sighed, "Truly, it's impossible to guard against such things..."
"Thankfully, you were cautious and reminded me." Grandmother Gu gazed at the lifeless flesh worm and added, "That Blood Golem Queen is indeed cunning. We almost let her slip away."
"Let's add an extra layer of insurance!" Li Qian also looked at the lifeless flesh worm. He summoned Six and issued an order through their soul contract.
Six, the Frostfire Salamander, received Li Qian's command without hesitation and immediately opened its mouth, spewing a thick pillar of fire.
The fire column swept through, burning fiercely, and in the blink of an eye, reduced the flesh worm's corpse to ashes.
After cleaning up the mess, Li Qian turned his attention to Li Lanying. He looked at the girl lying on the ground with a bloody hole in her head, her condition unknown, and turned to Grandmother Gu for help, "Grandmother Gu, what about Lanying..."
At this moment, he was extremely worried, fearing that Li Lanying might be in danger, having suffered an unexpected calamity.
Grandmother Gu walked over, took a look, and said, "She was only recently parasitized. The parasite was forced out quickly, so she should be fine."
Though she said this, her hands didn't stop moving, and she began to use a skill, casting a gentle, misty light.
The misty light, like starlight, fell upon Li Lanying, as if giving her a protective layer.
Li Qian guessed that the starlight Grandmother Gu had cast was a healing skill.
While the healing skills mastered by companion beasts cannot be used on humans, the same type of skills mastered by human beastmasters have no such restrictions.
Watching Grandmother Gu use her healing skill with a wave of her hand, Li Qian couldn't help but feel envious.
Unfortunately, before reaching the Holy Spirit Rank, no matter how much effort one puts in, it is almost impossible to learn extraordinary skills.
As Grandmother Gu's healing skill fell upon Li Lanying, her wound began to heal rapidly before their eyes.
The bloody hole quickly closed and formed a scab. In just a few seconds, apart from the red stain in her hair, there was no sign of any abnormality.
Li Lanying slowly came to, sat up, and looked at Li Qian, asking in a daze, "Uh, what happened to me?"
She clearly remembered that the sudden appearance of the senior had eliminated the Blood Golem Queen and saved her and Li Qian. She was about to thank the senior when a severe headache suddenly struck, and she lost consciousness.
"Lanying, this is the librarian of the Fifth Floor of the Library. You can call her 'Grandmother Gu.' She just saved you." Li Qian prefaced his explanation, as he hadn't formally introduced them before.
"Saved me?" Li Lanying furrowed her brow, confused, sensing from Li Qian's tone that the "saving" referred to something other than the elimination of the Blood Golem Queen.
Li Qian, without hesitation, spent a few minutes explaining the entire situation, "It happened like this..."
After Li Qian's explanation, Grandmother Gu, not wanting to waste any more time, took a step and prepared to leave, "The matter here is settled. I won't linger any longer. Because of this Blood Golem Queen, many cult organizations have been stirring, and we've already caught some leads. There will likely be a major cleanup soon."
Before leaving, Grandmother Gu thought for a moment and then mentioned something, "You probably can't help me much, but if you can truly evolve more Three-Legged Golden Phoenixes, it will have significant meaning for the school."
She continued, "The current situation is volatile. Not only are extraordinary beings in the dimensional planes rebelling, as you saw today, many cult organizations are also causing trouble. We urgently need to strengthen our combat power, especially our elite combatants."
"Rest assured, I will do my utmost." Li Qian listened to her words, his gaze firm, and nodded.
In fact, even if she hadn't mentioned it, Li Qian would have done his best.
While he hasn't reached the level of benefiting all under heaven, for things within his capabilities, he wouldn't refuse.
"That's good!" Grandmother Gu, hearing Li Qian's response, breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
Before her words had fully faded, she was already gone in the blink of an eye.
After Grandmother Gu left, Li Lanying immediately asked, still shaken, "Li Qian, what exactly happened just now?"
Li Qian recalled the situation and speculated, "It must have happened during the meal. You and I were sitting opposite each other, close together. It's inevitable that we were both parasitized."
"Ah, truly, it's impossible to guard against such things." Li Lanying also recalled the events and sighed helplessly, feeling both anger and sorrow.
Li Qian, reflecting on recent events, said with a touch of melancholy, "Lanying, I can sense that the world is moving toward chaos, and order is being challenged."
"Whether to protect ourselves or our families, without strength, all plans are just empty talk."
"Right, I know what to do." Li Lanying understood Li Qian's unspoken meaning. This incident had also sounded a warning bell for her. She said firmly, "While I may not be able to keep up with your pace, I will definitely do my utmost!"
At the same time, not far from the Dragon Pattern Forest, an elderly figure stood quietly on a small path.
Around this figure, several people lay on the ground, some already lifeless, others unconscious.
"Marquis Elder, how is the situation?" Grandmother Gu's figure suddenly appeared beside the elderly figure.
The elderly figure's voice was calm and emotionless, stating, "There were indeed some rats, but none of them were significant. It's a bit disappointing."
"Being able to catch these is already good. Take it one step at a time." Grandmother Gu glanced at the people lying on the ground and nodded slightly.
