Bice did not understand the approaching voice and was full of caution. For the past two days, she and Aurora had been on the run.
Although Aurora was powerful, the hundreds of guards and esper-users on the island were pursuing them, leaving them with barely an hour of rest. Aurora was already at the end of her rope.
Especially during battles, Aurora would inevitably get injured. Once injured, Bice had to use her esper abilities to heal Aurora.
Although the wounds healed rapidly under this esper healing, Aurora felt a bit weaker and extremely more fatigued after each treatment.
It was a double-edged sword. If the wounds were left untreated, bleeding and infection were manageable, but Aurora would also find it difficult to fight.
However, after treating the wounds, the side effects of the esper abilities were also very damaging.
Both of them were not in good condition. The repeated appearance of enemies made them both feel a sense of despair.
Just then, the sound of footsteps transformed into a clear human figure. Bice realized that the person approaching was Ling Tian!
Bice disliked Ling Tian intensely. In her opinion, this young man from China was simply a barbarian who understood nothing of cherishing women.
However, her feelings were now very complex because she had learned from Aurora that it was Ling Tian who had saved her.
Whether she could avenge Arthur and leave this island likely depended entirely on the man before her.
Seeing Aurora collapse on the ground, Ling Tian quickly walked over.
"Aurora, how are you? Are you injured?"
Hearing Ling Tian's words, Bice remembered to check on Aurora, who had collapsed on the ground.
In her haste, white light emanated from her hands again, and she prepared to heal Aurora.
Seeing this, Aurora quickly waved her hand to stop her.
"No, Bice, I'm not injured. Please don't use your esper abilities to heal me. I'm just very tired..."
Ling Tian immediately stepped forward and grabbed Aurora's wrist. Seeing his action, Bice wanted to stop him but was too late.
On several occasions, when she accidentally touched Aurora's skin, her entire hand had almost frozen off.
Unexpectedly, Ling Tian acted as if nothing had happened, unaffected by the cold aura emanating from Aurora's body.
Ling Tian took Aurora's pulse and found that she was not injured, but her body was indeed very weak.
"Aurora needs rest. Follow me. We should go to a safe place now!"
Ling Tian, without further ado, hoisted Aurora onto his back. He turned his head and said to Bice, "Keep up, don't fall behind!"
"Don't underestimate me. No matter how fast you run, you're carrying someone, and I can still catch up to you."
"Alright, I hope you're not just boasting!"
Ling Tian ignored the woman and ran towards the depths of the forest with Aurora on his back.
Soon, she began to regret it because she discovered that Ling Tian's physical fitness was terrifying. Carrying someone, he ran through the mountains and forests as if on level ground.
Little did she know that Ling Tian was not using his full speed. If Ling Tian ran at full speed, leaving her without a trace would only take minutes.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the forbidden zone, where the iron sign was erected.
Ling Tian put Aurora down and waited for a while. Bice finally arrived, sticking out her tongue and panting, completely out of breath.
"Where... where are we going?"
"A safe place, but we have to pass through here first!" Ling Tian said, pointing at the sign.
"What? Are you crazy! This is a death zone!
Not only is the temperature here high, but there's also terrifying high-temperature plasma gas. Even Prometheus couldn't survive in such a place!" Bice said incredulously.
"Then you can wait here to die!" Ling Tian retorted unceremoniously.
Aurora looked at the two of them, knowing that the conflict between them was deep, and quickly spoke.
"Bice, don't worry. With Mr. Ling Tian here, there won't be any danger. He will take us to a safe place..."
"Aurora, has he deceived you..."
Before Bice could finish speaking, she suddenly saw a flash before her eyes. Ling Tian instantly disappeared from her sight. The next moment, Bice felt a heavy blow to the back of her head.
When Bice woke up again, she found herself lying by a pond in a small grove.
Her neck still ached faintly. She knew without a doubt that she had been knocked unconscious.
Then, she turned her head and saw Ling Tian and Aurora embracing each other in a very intimate pose. The pose was quite unique and somewhat embarrassing.
"Pfft, shameless scoundrel!" Bice cursed.
Her exclamation startled the two who were cultivating.
It turned out that Ling Tian had intended to bring the two women to this small grove. However, to withstand the high temperatures of the forbidden zone, Ling Tian had to carry them on his back or in his arms.
Clearly, Bice, being an American, had a prejudice against him. Ling Tian did not want to be met with coldness. To avoid trouble, Ling Tian simply knocked her unconscious, then tucked her under his arm, and carried the two women through the forbidden zone and volcanic area to this small grove.
Ling Tian directly threw Bice by the pond and then began to examine Aurora's body.
Aurora was extremely weak at this time, too tired to even lift a finger.
Ling Tian secretly took out several special pills from his spiritual realm space. These pills were made by him based on the knowledge passed down from his memory and taught by his masters, using many precious herbs.
These pills could quickly restore physical strength and internal energy. Although they were just small pills, the medicinal materials used to make them were worth tens of millions.
Many of the herbs, with long years and high efficacy, were now priceless. It was only because Ling Tian's spiritual realm space had a spiritual herb garden that he could obtain such high-quality medicinal materials.
In Ling Tian's opinion, Aurora's esper abilities were actually a special form of internal energy. Although he didn't have medicine to supplement it, he believed that if her true essence recovered, her esper abilities should also recover.
After taking a few pills and some food, Aurora's spirits improved significantly, but she was still extremely fatigued.
So, Aurora asked Ling Tian if there was any way to help her recover her stamina faster.
Ling Tian pondered for a moment and then said, "There is a way, but..."
