Lin Ran walked to the door and peeked inside. He turned back and said, "Brother, you come with me, I'm really scared!"
Lin Chi was helpless. Rubbing his eyes, he walked towards him.
Lin Yu pouted, her eyes lighting up when she looked at Jing Kaiyu. She hopped over and said, "One hundred thousand yuan, I'll heal you right away!"
She pointed at Jing Kaiyu's hand.
At this moment, his hand had turned purple from the cold, and the ice cone was still stuck in it.
"Ten thousand!" Jing Kaiyu held up one finger.
"One hundred thousand!"
Jing Kaiyu considered for a moment and held up five fingers.
Lin Yu's eyes lit up, and she was about to agree.
"Five thousand!" Jing Kaiyu's faint voice came.
Lin Yu, who had already extended her hand, froze instantly upon hearing this.
"How much?" She looked expectantly at Jing Kaiyu.
"Five hundred!" Jing Kaiyu said again.
"You, you..."
"One hundred!"
"Five hundred it is!" Lin Yu said with a wronged expression, no longer speaking.
Jing Kaiyu had been worried that Lin Yu would play tricks on him while he was being treated.
But this little girl really didn't mess with him and quickly melted the ice shard.
A faint yellow mist enveloped his hand, and after a while, it truly stopped hurting.
Then, she took out gauze from her bag and threw it to Jing Kaiyu, "Wrap it yourself. In three days at most, there won't be any major problems. If it hadn't been for tendons or bones, your hand would have been crippled, and it would have cost at least a million to treat."
"Oh!" He took out a hundred yuan from his pocket and gave it to her.
"You said five hundred..." Lin Yu looked at Jing Kaiyu indignantly.
Jing Kaiyu looked at her with a half-smile, "You just said: 'I'll heal you right away!' But now you're telling me it will take three more days..."
"You..."
"If you don't want to, then forget it!" Jing Kaiyu made a move to put the money away.
Lin Yu snatched it away and muttered, "You people are all liars. You said you'd pay us for the intel. Now you haven't paid us, and you've even gotten us involved with the Ninth Office..."
"Stop nagging. I was just kidding! I really don't have money. When Brother Tian gets back, he won't owe you any money..." Jing Kaiyu, with the gauze in his mouth, began to wrap his hand.
"Really?" Lin Yu's eyes lit up.
"Of course..." Jing Kaiyu looked at Lin Yu.
A strange light flashed in his eyes. Ever since he saw her, a petite figure had been constantly appearing in his mind. How many years had it been since he had forcibly forgotten this figure.
"I'll wrap it for you..." Lin Yu said, snatching the bandage from his hand. She crouched in front of him and carefully wrapped Jing Kaiyu's hand.
Jing Kaiyu forcibly shifted his gaze to Gao Kai, who was still fighting with a mutated human. The man's entire body shimmered with metallic light. Gao Kai's punches hit him with a metallic clang, like hammering iron pipes. However, Jing Kaiyu wasn't worried, because he could tell that Gao Kai was practicing his moves. Looking at Gao Kai, he felt a pang of envy. Among the three of them, Zhao Lei had the best chance of becoming a Qi martial artist. Gao Kai had the least. His age was already advanced, and surpassing human limits was unlikely. He never expected that after Chu Tian, Gao Kai would be the first to become a Qi martial artist. If he had possessed Qi just now, he wouldn't have been injured by that ice cone.
At this moment, Chu Tian had reached the edge of the city. The barefoot man, yes, the barefoot man, because his slippers had run off. He now had no higher ground to ascend. Although he could leap very far with each jump, he still couldn't compare to Chu Tian, who had activated his travel form. Along the way, Chu Tian took out his phone and turned on the speed measuring function. He confirmed one thing: the attributes provided by the equipment in the Heavenly Dao could indeed be used in reality. However, active skills could not be used. He had tried the shoes' double jump and swiftness before, but couldn't activate them at all. After activating his travel form, he ran faster and faster. This was a passive skill provided by [Moon God's Wrath, Spear of the Healer's War]. He had tested it several times, and it was indeed like this. When he first started running, his speed wasn't fast. It took about two minutes to accelerate, during which he kept increasing his speed until he reached a peak and then maintained it. In the Heavenly Dao, it only took thirty seconds to reach the peak acceleration. There were still differences between the real world and the Heavenly Dao world. After activating his travel form, he experienced the thrill of the Flash. His entire body felt almost weightless. Each stride covered several meters.
The barefoot man looked back and saw Chu Tian, his face filled with terror. He hadn't expected that someone could be faster than him with just two legs. Chu Tian, seeing the other man turn back, secretly gloated: Kid, can your two legs outrun my four legs?
Now, if one looked at Chu Tian from the side, his appearance was that of a half-deer person. His two legs were the front legs of a deer. Behind his hips was a shadowy deer body. Every time Chu Tian took a step, the deer body's hind legs would exert force simultaneously. With less than a hundred meters to go, Chu Tian could have killed him with a single slap.
Suddenly, his vision plunged into extreme darkness. Even within his divine sense, a dark area spanning a kilometer appeared. It was as if something had gnawed away at that place. Chu Tian was startled, and then this extremely dark area became incredibly bright. The alternation of light and darkness hurt Chu Tian's eyes, causing a sharp sting. He quickly closed his eyes and stopped. The blinding light lasted only two seconds before returning to darkness, repeating for over ten seconds. Finally, after the area returned to normal within his divine sense, the barefoot man had disappeared.
Chu Tian, bewildered, didn't know what had happened. He looked around and confirmed that the barefoot man had indeed vanished without a trace. In ten seconds, given the barefoot man's speed, it was enough time to escape his divine sense range. However, Chu Tian was more inclined to believe that someone had rescued him. Who was this person? They possessed the ability to control light and darkness. If that person had attacked him just now, Chu Tian would likely have been unable to resist. Thinking about this, Chu Tian broke out in a cold sweat. He wondered if this person would return. It would be better to leave this place quickly and rendezvous with everyone. Identifying the direction, he turned and ran back the way he came. He didn't know if Lin Ran had captured Tao Jiayu's spirit. This was related to the lives of Yan Pengkun and the others. If she had been captured, he would have to question her thoroughly upon his return. Why did she hate him so much, and how did she die? On the way back, he received a call from Gao Kai. Gao Kai told Chu Tian that everyone had already evacuated and that the authorities had arrived. Gao Kai and the others showed their identification from the Ninth Office, and the authorities did not trouble them.
