At the sound.
Everyone subconsciously turned around.
They saw Gu Yuena surrounded by the phantom of a silver dragon, the aura radiating from her body already reaching level 20.
At this sight.
Niu Gao immediately chuckled. "Looks like we can't leave just yet. We need to find a suitable soul beast for Little Na to hunt and absorb as well."
Hearing that they were going to hunt a soul ring for Gu Yuena, Jin Feng frowned slightly.
Because.
He knew Gu Yuena's true identity very well. She had no need to hunt soul beasts to obtain soul rings.
And if Gu Yuena were allowed to condense one herself, it would be difficult to explain if his grandfather, uncle, and the others saw it.
Just as thoughts raced through Jin Feng's mind.
Roar—
An unexpected incident suddenly occurred.
As Gu Yuena broke through to level 20, it was as though some seal within her had been released. The silver dragon phantom surrounding her let out another low roar.
This roar was different from the previous one.
It was clearly filled with pain.
In an instant.
An extremely strange energy erupted from Gu Yuena's abdomen, instantly sweeping through her limbs and bones, ravaging her meridians and internal organs.
Under the devastation of that strange energy, the pain became unbearable. Gu Yuena could no longer endure it and spat out a mouthful of blood, collapsing to the ground with a pale face.
?!!
At this sight.
Everyone's expressions changed drastically.
Jin Feng swooped down to Gu Yuena, supported her body, and gathered her into his arms, then had Niu Gao, the strongest person present, examine her.
After channeling Soul Power into Gu Yuena's body, Niu Gao quickly discovered that the origin injury which had nearly healed after more than a year of recovery had suddenly worsened again. It was even more serious than when he had first met Gu Yuena.
After he revealed this discovery.
Niu Ben and the Second Elder frowned deeply, their faces full of confusion. "How could this happen? Little Na clearly wasn't attacked just now. Why did her improving origin injury worsen?"
Upon hearing this.
A flash of realization suddenly appeared in Jin Feng's eyes.
At this point, he seemed to understand Gu Yuena's condition somewhat.
Clearly, in order to awaken and enter the world early, Gu Yuena had placed many seals upon the unimaginably severe origin injury within her body. Every time she broke through a major realm, she would release the next layer of seals until her injury was completely healed.
That also explained.
Why her origin injury had erupted again after breaking through to level 20, and why it was even more severe than a year ago.
Just then.
Gu Yuena, her brows tightly furrowed, slowly opened her eyes.
When she saw that she was lying in Jin Feng's arms, her hands instinctively tightened around him. In a halting voice, she murmured, "Brother Feng... I... I hurt so much..."
Hearing Gu Yuena's murmur.
Niu Gao and the others all felt their hearts tighten.
They looked at Gu Yuena in Jin Feng's arms with immense heartache. They wanted to help, but had no idea how to relieve her pain.
Meanwhile, in secret.
Di Tian, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon who had arrived long ago, also frowned deeply at the sight.
Regarding his lord's injuries.
Although he was the Beast God of the Star Dou Forest and a peerless half-Divine Level expert of the continent, he could do nothing about them.
After all, they were origin Dao wounds inflicted by the Asura God, one of the five great law-enforcement God Kings of the Douluo God Realm. If he could resolve them, he would not have delayed until now.
Now, he could only place his hopes on Jin Feng, this special human, and hope that he had a solution.
Otherwise, his lord Gu Yuena would have to endure pain for a long time before gradually adapting to it.
Thinking this.
Di Tian looked at Jin Feng below, who was holding Gu Yuena, and thought, Since my lord was able to break the first seal so quickly by staying at your side, you must have a way to ease her suffering.
If you can truly do it, I do not mind giving you some things that all humans desire...
Jin Feng had no idea what Di Tian was thinking.
As he looked at Gu Yuena lying in his arms, her face pale as she continuously cried out in pain and spoke in broken phrases.
He seemed to think of something and silently mused, Since the aura leaking from the Golden Horned Behemoth bloodline helped you recover from your injuries before, then... this should be able to ease, suppress, or even heal your injuries.
With that thought.
Jin Feng retrieved a jade bottle filled with his own blood from his storage ring.
Then.
Under the puzzled gazes of Niu Gao and the others, Jin Feng placed the mouth of the bottle against Gu Yuena's lips.
As he fed her, he quietly whispered in a voice only he could hear, "Drink my blood, and from now on, you can only be mine..."
Gu Yuena, whose consciousness was hazy, had no idea what Jin Feng had said.
She only knew that the jade bottle he offered contained energy that caused the bloodline within her body to tremble.
She instinctively opened her mouth and swallowed.
As the blood in the bottle gradually entered Gu Yuena's mouth, color visibly returned to her face.
After she drank all the blood Jin Feng had accumulated over a long time, one drop each day, her tightly furrowed brows immediately relaxed. She no longer cried out in pain, and her mental state returned to normal.
Seeing how astonishingly effective Jin Feng's blood was on Gu Yuena's injuries, Niu Gao subconsciously asked, "Little Feng, how did you know your blood would work on Little Na's injuries?"
Jin Feng did not know how to explain that either.
So he casually said, "I just felt that my blood had miraculous effects on beast martial soul masters. Little Na has a beast martial soul too, so I wanted to try my luck. I didn't expect it to really work."
Hearing Jin Feng's far-fetched explanation.
Niu Gao opened his mouth, originally intending to say something more, but suddenly stopped himself in the end.
He felt that his grandson probably knew something about Gu Yuena's condition, but since Jin Feng did not want to say it, it probably was not yet time to tell him.
When Di Tian, hidden in the shadows, saw his lord's condition rapidly stabilize after drinking Jin Feng's blood.
A blazing look suddenly flashed through his dark golden dragon eyes. For an instant, he even wanted to abduct Jin Feng and draw his blood every day to treat his lord's injuries.
However.
For some reason.
He quickly dismissed that thought.
Then, looking at Jin Feng's still youthful face below, he said softly, "Since you have done it, then I will certainly not break my word."
After saying that.
Di Tian first tore through space and tossed in a black bracelet embedded with several gemstones.
Then, with a thought from him.
The next moment, in the outer region of the Star Dou Forest, space suddenly tore open before a severely injured 700-year Flame Deer that had just experienced a battle, swallowing its body.
At the same time.
Gu Yuena, whose origin injury had partly recovered and who could already stand, looked at the empty jade bottle in Jin Feng's hand with a face full of apology. "I'm sorry, Brother Feng. I drank all the blood you spent so long saving."
"It's fine!"
Jin Feng waved his hand, pinched Gu Yuena's little face now that her color had returned, and chuckled. "Na'er, you are far more important than that bottle of blood."
Gu Yuena's little face immediately turned red at his words.
While feeling touched, she was also filled with guilt and self-reproach. After all, she lived in the same house as Jin Feng and knew how long it took to save enough blood, one drop a day, to fill a bottle.
Brother Feng treats me so well, but I can't help him with anything. If I ever get the chance, I must repay him properly...
Just as Gu Yuena silently made her vow.
She suddenly sensed a peculiar summons coming from afar.
She raised her eyes and examined the surroundings.
Soon, she determined that the inexplicable summons was coming from the Swift Golden Roc's nest on the cliffside.
After confirming the location.
Gu Yuena immediately tugged on Jin Feng's arm and pointed at the Swift Golden Roc's nest on the cliff. "Brother Feng, I feel like there's something there."
"I read in books before that the Golden Roc Clan likes collecting treasures. Why don't we go up and take a look too?"
