Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After cleaning up the battlefield, Chu Lingjun and Zhan Xinlan looked at each other in tacit understanding and then walked towards a hole filled with mud.
Qiu Yang and the other three followed behind them while scanning their surroundings. Their vitality was boiling, and they were on full alert. “Come out.” Chu Lingjun took the initiative to speak when they arrived in front of a hidden cave.
The atmosphere was silent for a few seconds. Then, the mud churned and a figure slowly emerged from the mud.
Although this person’s face was covered in mud, everyone could still see that this person’s complexion was badly damaged. His abdomen was much worse off.
Zhan Xinlan, Qiu Yang and the others frowned as they stared at the man.
“Who are you? Why was that team of divine blood warriors chasing after you?”
The identity of this person was definitely not simple to be able to make a Rank Four divine blood warrior expert personally lead the chase!
Moreover, everyone could sense that this person’s cultivation was at the Fourth Rank!
However, his aura was very weak. It was obvious that he was seriously injured.
“Sorry, brave warriors, I can’t tell you my identity.” After a few seconds of silence, the Bloody Butcher hugged his injured abdomen and replied in a hoarse voice.
“Thank you for saving my life. If possible, can you send me to Quicksand Town? After the matter is done, I will definitely reward you heavily!”
Chu Lingjun, Zhan Xinlan, and the others frowned.
What did this person mean?
Why couldn’t he tell them his identity?
Was he being chased by divine blood warriors? Was he a secret master, spy, or agent of the government?
Zhan Xinlan gave Chu Lingjun a look, and Chu Lingjun understood.
The few of them retreated silently for a few hundred meters. After glancing at the injured man and making sure that he was still there, they lowered their voices and discussed the matter.
“Could he be a spy from the government or the army? Is that why he was being chased by the divine blood warriors?” Shen Shan, who was holding the shield, asked in puzzlement.
“The probability seems to be quite high.” Tao Ze replied.
“He can’t be a bad person, he was being chased by divine warriors, they’re the bad people.” Qiu Yang thought for a moment and said.
Zhan Xinlan bit her lower lip. She had a headache.
The identity of the person who suddenly appeared was unknown, but Qiu Yang was right. He should not be a bad person if he was being chased by a divine blood warrior.
“Do you have any divine blood warrior reagent?” Chu Lingjun said.
“I have some.” Zhan Xinlan turned to look at Chu Lingjun, her eyes flashing.
“Me too,” Chu Lingjun said slowly. “How about this? Let’s test him with the divine blood warrior reagent to see if he’s a divine blood warrior.”
The divine blood reagent was a reagent specially developed by the country to test if someone was a divine blood warrior.
As long as a drop of blood was dropped on the reagent, it would be able to determine if the person was a divine blood warrior.
The accuracy level was about 95 percent.
“What if this person is a spy of the divine blood warrior, or a divine blood warrior who was instigated by our country?” Qiu Yang frowned.
“Isn’t it a little too far-fetched to say that the other party is bad just because of a reagent?”
“I know that,” Chu Lingjun replied. “My idea is to test it with a reagent first. If this person is a divine blood warrior, I suggest we leave first and report this matter to the town so that others can save him.”
“What do you mean?” Qiu Yang was stunned.
“It’s exactly what it means,” Chu Lingjun said. “There’s no telling what’s in a person’s heart. We don’t know the specific situation of this person, nor do we know why he’s being hunted by the divine blood warriors. From a probability perspective, since he is being chased by divine blood warriors, the probability of him being a good person is relatively high. We still have to be careful. This person is a Rank Four warrior.”
When Chu Lingjun said that the man was a Rank Four warrior, everyone else inhaled a deep breath.
“Although this person is injured, we don’t know if he still has any trump cards up his sleeve,” Chu Lingjun said in a deep voice. “What if he tries to fight back and kill us all?”
Zhan Xinlan, Qiu Yang, and the others started to panic. Yes, although the probability of this was very low, it did not mean that it was zero!
The final blow from a Rank Four powerhouse was something none of them wanted.
“So my suggestion is… If this person is a divine blood warrior, we will leave and let others deal with him.
“If this person isn’t a divine blood warrior, then the probability of him being a good person is higher. We can leave some food for him and then return him to Quicksand Town. By then, we’ll let others deal with this matter.”
Everyone immediately agreed.
First of all, their main plan was to report to the town about this man and let other capable people deal with this matter when they arrive.
This was the method of being mature and prudent. Although it looked a little cowardly, it was the safest route!
After all, this person was a Rank Four warrior. It was too dangerous to handle this matter on their own. They were only Rank Three and could be killed easily if that person was bad!
They needed to test if the person was a divine blood warrior so they can protect themselves if need be!
If they weren’t, the chances of him being an ally was very high.
“I agree with Chu Lingjun’s suggestion.” After a moment of silence, Zhan Xinlan spoke first.
At the same time, she looked at the young man in front of her in disbelief. Was this brat really only a freshman?
His way of handling matters was very mature and steady. Even she could not compare to him!
“I agree.”
“Me too…”
Qiu Yang and the others replied.
Survival was the most important thing!
No matter who this person was, whether he was an ally or an enemy, it was every man for himself.
Immediately, the six of them quickly returned to the front of Bloody Butcher.
“I hope you understand. It’s good for both of us to confirm some things before continuing.” Chu Lingjun took out a tube of reagent from his backpack.
Zhan Xinlan also took out a tube of reagent.
The Bloody Butcher looked at the items in their hands and understood what they meant. “No problem. Go ahead and test them.”
The Bloody Butcher’s right hand let go of his abdomen, and a pool of blood flowed out.
Chu Lingjun, who had been staring at the Bloody Butcher’s expression, heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the other party was a little calm. However, he did not let down his guard and rashly walked in front of the other party.
Instead, he took two tubes of reagents and went to another area of mud at the side. There was a little blood there.
Chu Lingjun collected a drop of blood from each of them and dropped it into the reagent. When the blood dripped in, the reagent showed a safe color.
Everyone who had been on guard heaved a sigh of relief.
“Can you send me to Quicksand Town now?” The Bloody Butcher said with a bright smile.
“I’m sorry. You might have to suffer for a while. You’re a Rank Four while we’re only Rank Three. For safety reasons, we’ll go back to the town and report to the right authorities to help you.”
Bloody Butcher was a little anxious when he heard that. He glared at him and said, “I’ve been soaking in this mud hole for three days. I’m hungry and tired. I don’t have any strength left in my body!”
“I’m really sorry.”
Chu Lingjun apologized again, then took out an unopened bottle of mineral water and a bag of jerky from his backpack. He quickly retreated with Zhan Xinlan and the others.
“Please hold on a little longer. Someone will come to save you soon.”
Chu Lingjun said loudly before he left, leading Zhan Xinlan and the others in the direction of Quicksand Town.
“Hey, hey, hey, you guys, you guys…”
The Bloody Butcher stared at Chu Lingjun and the others anxiously, his body struggling in pain.
However, when he saw Chu Lingjun and the others disappear into the forest and showed no signs of returning, the anxiety on his face immediately disappeared.
He stared at the backs of Chu Lingjun and the others and sighed. “Meng Shangchun, oh Meng Shangchun, you’re really useless. I can’t believe you were actually saved by a group of high school students! Fate is truly wondrous. Chu Lingjun saved my nephew and now he’s here to help you and even saved your life! How am I ever going to repay this life-saving grace…”
The Bloody Butcher sighed. He did not take the mineral water and jerky. He left the cave and quickly disappeared..
