"Hmm?"
Ye Feng frowned slightly, because the female voice just now sounded familiar.
"It's you!"
Ye Feng turned his head and couldn't help but be surprised.
The person who just spoke was actually Lin, whom he had met not long ago in Shuangyu Town. Beside Lin were Liu Laotou, the president of the Shuangyu Town Adventurer's Guild, and the man named Lei Jian!
"I didn't expect to meet again so soon!"
Lin greeted Ye Feng, then took out a gray-white stone about half the size of a palm. It was the fire-attribute Arcane Origin Stone.
Unlike Ye Feng's lightning-attribute Arcane Origin Stone, which was gray-white, the Arcane Origin Stone Lin took out vaguely emitted a fiery red glow from within.
"Ye Feng, move aside for a moment. I'll use the fire-attribute Arcane Origin Stone to lure out the ice gu from Xiao Xiao's body,"
"Prepare some alcohol or flames to kill it!"
Lin said to Ye Feng.
"Oh, okay!~"
Ye Feng nodded, took out a ceramic bowl from his spatial warehouse, along with a bottle of medical alcohol and several packs of cotton swabs.
At this moment, Lin was already holding the Arcane Origin Stone and slowly moving it over Xiao Xiao, who had fainted...
"Ye Feng, this ice gu is a bit special. It almost moves with the blood."
"I need to make a small cut on Xiao Xiao's wrist to let the ice gu out!"
Lin paused and said to Ye Feng again.
"I'll do it~"
After thinking, Ye Feng decided to do it himself. After all, his control over his strength was far beyond that of ordinary people.
"Okay!"
Lin also had this intention. She needed to move the fire-attribute Arcane Origin Stone rhythmically around Xiao Xiao's body and couldn't be distracted by this.
Because the warm wind from the solar heater was very pleasant, Ye Feng took off Xiao Xiao's cold-weather suit and rolled up her sleeves, revealing her fair arms.
Lin, meanwhile, kept moving the Arcane Origin Stone over Xiao Xiao's body...
After a while, Lin finally moved the Arcane Origin Stone slowly to Xiao Xiao's wrist.
At this moment, there was a bulge under the skin of Xiao Xiao's arm, indicating that something was following the fire-attribute Arcane Origin Stone.
"Ye Feng, now!"
At this moment, Lin suddenly shouted at Ye Feng.
"Swoosh!"
The Tang Dao, which had just been disinfected with medical alcohol, flashed, and a cut appeared on Xiao Xiao's wrist. Blood began to gush out.
"Ye Feng, this cut is a bit small. The ice gu is initially a microorganism. After it absorbs blood, it will grow to the size of hair. If a large number gather..."
At this moment, Lin said with a rather serious expression.
Ye Feng frowned slightly, and the Tang Dao in his hand swept across Xiao Xiao's wrist again.
"Chih~"
This time, a one-inch long cut appeared on Xiao Xiao's wrist, and a large amount of blood gushed out, as if she had cut her wrist.
Seeing this, Lin, who had deliberately slowed down, resumed her normal speed, holding the fire-attribute Arcane Origin Stone and moving it towards the wound on Xiao Xiao's wrist...
Soon, Lin's hand holding the fire-attribute Arcane Origin Stone reached the other side of the wound on Xiao Xiao's wrist.
The bulge under Xiao Xiao's skin followed closely, squeezing out clumps of bloody substance from the wound on Xiao Xiao's wrist.
These were the ice gu that had absorbed Xiao Xiao's blood and grown!
Seeing this, Ye Feng immediately used cotton swabs dipped in a large amount of medical alcohol to clean all these ice gu into the ceramic bowl placed on the ground.
The ceramic bowl also contained half a bowl of medical alcohol...
Then, Lin held the fire-attribute Arcane Origin Stone and moved it around Xiao Xiao's body again, attracting the ice gu to the wound, and then Ye Feng cleaned them off with medical alcohol...
Time ticked by.
Just as Xiao Xiao's lips and complexion began to turn pale from continuous bleeding, Lin finally withdrew the fire-attribute Arcane Origin Stone.
"Is this how all the ice gu inside Xiao Xiao are cleared out?"
Although Ye Feng was a bit worried about Xiao Xiao losing too much blood, if the ice gu were not removed, they would have to repeat this process later, which would be even more dangerous.
Ye Feng was unsure if Xiao Xiao could withstand such a large amount of blood loss a second time...
"Don't worry, the fire-attribute Arcane Origin Stone has a fatal attraction to ice gu. It's even more terrifying than an addict's craving for drugs!"
"I tried twice in a row just now, and no ice gu followed, so there are none left!"
Lin quickly said to Ye Feng.
"Oh, okay!"
Ye Feng nodded slightly.
He had indeed seen those ice gu willing to be killed by cotton swabs dipped in medical alcohol rather than move away from the fire-attribute Arcane Origin Stone in Lin's hand...
The next second, Ye Feng began to disinfect Xiao Xiao's wound with medical cotton swabs and iodine.
Finally, he took out medical gauze and bandages and wrapped up the wound on Xiao Xiao's wrist.
Although the wound on Xiao Xiao's wrist had been a bit large and bled quite a lot, Ye Feng had handled it with precision and did not injure the artery. As long as it was bandaged and stopped bleeding, it would be fine!
"Whoosh!~"
After finishing everything, Ye Feng let out a sigh of relief and looked at Xiao Xiao, who was still unconscious, with a worried expression.
"Xiao Xiao's body has been eroded by the ice gu, and she lost quite a bit of blood just now. She needs to rest for a while before she can wake up!"
Sensing Ye Feng's worry, Lin immediately explained.
"Lost a lot of blood?"
After thinking, Ye Feng quickly took out a solar-powered kettle from his spatial warehouse, poured a cup of hot water, added a little salt, and fed it to Xiao Xiao.
After all, if a person loses a lot of blood and cannot receive a transfusion in time, they can only supplement with some dilute salt water to prevent hemorrhagic shock due to a drop in blood pressure...
"Brother, you have so many survival and emergency supplies! How about we make a trade? That bottle of medical alcohol you have..."
A survivor walked up, wanting to trade something with Ye Feng, but Ye Feng ignored him.
The other party was disappointed and left dejectedly!
After a long while, Xiao Xiao finally opened her eyes.
"Big brother, why did I fall asleep? My hand hurts so much!~"
As she spoke, Xiao Xiao raised her hand and looked. She immediately saw that the place on her wrist that hurt was wrapped in thick gauze and bandages, with some bright red blood seeping through.
"Xiao Xiao, don't move around. Lie down and rest for a while. You just..."
Seeing this, Ye Feng hurriedly stopped Xiao Xiao from moving further and then explained the matter of the ice gu.
"So that's what happened~ No wonder I felt so cold just now..."
After listening to Ye Feng's words, Xiao Xiao finally understood.
"Xiao Xiao, here, this is glucose. I've warmed it up in hot water for you. Drink it~"
At this time, Ye Feng adjusted Xiao Xiao's posture, propping her up against the wall with her cold-weather suit as a cushion, and had her drink the glucose.
"Ye Feng, have you been with Xiao Xiao all along?"
At this moment, Lin finally found an opportunity to speak to Ye Feng. "Ice gu mostly exist in a localized area. Have you been to any places in the past few days? Since Xiao Xiao has fallen ill, you might also be in danger..."
