A Night in the Wilderness! Rescuing an Unconscious Plant Academy Girl!

To avoid wasting time.

Li Fei had spent the entire day traveling at high speed.

He relentlessly pushed the Swift Wind Horse to its limits.

At a maximum of two hundred li per day, he only needed five days to reach Plant Academy at the border of the Jadeite Forest.

However, Li Fei had underestimated how rotten the roads along the way were.

The current Douluo era was still in the age of cold weapons, much like the ancient times of his previous life.

Many wilderness areas had no Official Roads at all, only dense forests and winding mountain paths.

All in all, the journey had been extremely difficult.

Even so, Li Fei had forced himself to cover eight hundred kilometers in three days.

Only two hundred kilometers remained.

However.

The Swift Wind Horse had started foaming at the mouth.

This time was far more severe than the previous three days.

Seeing this, Li Fei could not bear to make the Swift Wind Horse keep running.

He dismounted and used the power of the Yin Yang Willow to wrap it up, mobilizing the Life Force of the Wood Attribute to slowly heal the Swift Wind Horse.

The Swift Wind Horse finally got a chance to catch its breath and gradually began to recover.

The past three days had truly been miserable for it.

In its eyes, Li Fei was even more ruthless than a capitalist.

"It's getting dark. I need to find an inn for the night."

"But we're in the middle of nowhere. Where would I find an inn?"

Li Fei looked around. Aside from forests, there were valleys and rocks.

It was barren as hell.

There was not even a single soul in sight.

During the previous three days, he had come across inns. They had been somewhat run-down, but at least they gave him somewhere to stay.

And along the way, he had encountered a group of bandits made up of One Ring Soul Masters at one of those inns.

He had killed every last one of them in self-defense.

He had also gained one thousand Gold Soul Coins.

How many people had they needed to rob to amass that kind of wealth?

How many people had fallen victim to those bandits?

By killing them, Li Fei had done justice on behalf of Heaven.

These thousand Gold Soul Coins could count as a crowdfunded thank-you fee from the people they had robbed.

So Li Fei was no longer short on money. He was filthy rich.

He had never fought such a well-funded battle before.

"Forget it. I'll stay here tonight."

As dusk fell and the surroundings turned Pitch Black, coupled with the Swift Wind Horse's condition, Li Fei had no choice but to grit his teeth and spend the night in the wilderness alone with a horse.

"Perfect. I can test out the Self-Created Soul Skill I recently developed."

Li Fei smiled and brought his hands together.

Clap!

"Jianmu Technique! Rise!"

The next moment, dense Willow Branches burst from the ground. Under Li Fei's precise control, they thickened and gradually formed a Mongolian Yurt-shaped Wooden Hut.

Willow leaves that glimmered with a soft radiance surrounded the Wooden Hut.

"Earth wall, rise!"

"Fire wall, rise!"

"Water wall, rise!"

"Metal wall, rise!"

He then mobilized the Five Elements Power within his body once more and sent it into the ground.

Willow Branches rose one after another from the surrounding earth, turning into walls that encircled the Mongolian Yurt.

These walls would serve as the second line of defense.

At the same time, Willow Branches burrowed underground one after another, spreading outward.

If bandits or wild beasts attacked at night, Li Fei would be able to sense them immediately through these Willow Branches.

These Willow Branches formed the foremost, first line of defense.

The Mongolian Yurt naturally served as the third line of defense.

After finishing all that, he created a large amount of fodder to feed the Swift Wind Horse.

Then he sat down cross-legged and began cultivating, racing against time.

That whole process had consumed quite a bit of his Soul Power, but fortunately, the Yin Yang Soul Core supported him, so it was not a major problem.

The Yin Yang Willow used Yin power to begin photosynthesis and absorb moonlight, while its branches absorbed the power of the earth. Li Fei circulated the low-grade Soul Power Guiding Method to absorb the surrounding Soul Power, replenishing the expended portion in the blink of an eye.

And so, time gradually passed.

Until the latter half of the night.

The Willow Branches that had spread far away suddenly discovered a figure lying on the ground ahead.

It was unknown when she had appeared. After all, the Willow Branches had only just reached that location and knew nothing of what had happened there before.

"Strange. Why is there a woman lying here at this hour?"

Inside the Mongolian Yurt, Li Fei, immersed in cultivation, spotted the figure lying ahead through the Willow Branches' perspective.

He poured Soul Power into them, and dense Willow Branches wriggled toward the figure, wrapping around her.

Under the illumination of green light, he finally saw her clearly.

She had Injuries of all sizes across her body, with dried bloodstains.

It was obvious that she had encountered some kind of trouble.

Either she had been robbed by bandits, or she had been attacked by wild beasts or Soul Beasts.

She was a long-haired woman with a beautiful face. Her clothes were green, and her badge looked somewhat familiar...

"That is Plant Academy's badge!"

Li Fei had seen Plant Academy's badge in the Notting Academy library. Since he was going there to study, he naturally remembered it and was especially sensitive to it.

The next moment, he heard the howls of a Wolf Pack.

Ahead, in the darkness, pairs of scarlet eyes opened.

Under the moonlight, Grey Wolves emerged one after another.

They stared at the girl lying on the ground, bared their fangs, and drooled.

There were no Soul Power fluctuations from these wolves. They were merely ordinary wild beasts.

"Perfect. I'll use you to test the Clone Technique."

Li Fei thought to himself.

A Soul Ring rose.

Elsewhere, just as the Wolf Pack was about to approach the girl.

A Willow Branch transformed into a figure identical to Li Fei.

Holding a long Willow Branch, it swept it toward the Wolf Pack.

Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack!

Even with only seventy percent of his power, dealing with these wild beasts without Soul Power was effortless.

In the end, the Wolf Pack was sent flying and fled in terror.

Li Fei was kind-hearted and did not kill them.

The Clone turned back into a Willow Branch, carried the girl away from the spot, and swiftly returned to the Mongolian Yurt.

Li Fei slowly opened his eyes and began examining the girl's Injuries.

They were not fatal, so he immediately mobilized the power of the Wood Attribute to treat her.

"This place is only two hundred li from Plant Academy... Forget it. Once she wakes up, I'll ask her. Then all my questions will be answered. She can also take me to Plant Academy to register."

Li Fei sat beside her and watched as the girl's Injuries gradually healed, silently thinking to himself.

Half an incense stick later, the unconscious girl woke up. Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, she seemed somewhat confused.

Her gaze eventually settled on Li Fei, the stranger.

"How are you feeling?" Li Fei took the initiative to ask.

"Where am I? Did you save me?"

"Who are you?"

The girl seemed to understand something and asked.

"This is a Wooden Hut I made. Yes, I saved you. When I found you, you were already unconscious in the wilderness. If I hadn't found you in time, you would probably be food for the Wolf Pack by now."

"My name is Li Fei. I'm the one who saved your life."

"I also healed your Injuries."

Li Fei spoke slowly. "All right, now it's my turn to ask. Who are you? Why were you in the wilderness, and why were you injured?"

The girl suddenly understood. "Thank You for saving me. My name is Enjing, and I'm a student of Plant Academy. We received a mission to support the Heaven Dou Army. After completing it, we passed through a Soul Beast Forest on our way back and were suddenly attacked by Soul Beasts. In the end, everyone was scattered, and I don't know whether they are alive or dead. I fought desperately to escape because I wanted to return and relay the news to the academy."

"I never expected my first mission to end in such a setback."

Enjing sighed, a dispirited expression appearing on her face.
