Chapter 58: The Devil 'Xiao Yin'
On the outskirts of Sunset Forest, Xiao Yin and Jiang Zhu suddenly appeared.
"Wow!"
Jiang Zhu let out a soft cry and subconsciously grabbed his arm. Looking at the surrounding forest environment, her delicate little face was full of shock.
"Where...where is this place?"
"Sunset Forest."
He released his hand, speaking casually, looking around and feeling the atmosphere, "Well, this place is nice and quiet."
The way Jiang Zhu looked at him had completely changed. In addition to the shyness she had before, there was now more admiration.
He brought her from Blue Tyrant Academy to Sunset Forest so quickly, and it seemed that he was even flying in the air. How strong is he!
"Senior Xiao Yin, you are truly amazing!"
Jiang Zhu exclaimed sincerely, her eyes sparkling.
He enjoyed the little girl's admiring gaze for a moment before getting down to business:
"Okay, I'll save the flattery for a while. First, tell me about your current situation. What's your Spirit power level? Have you obtained your second Spirit ring?"
When it came to business, Jiang Zhu immediately became serious and stood up straight to report:
"Replying to the senior, I am fifteen years old this year, my Spirit power is level twenty-four, and I am a healing weapon Spirit master. I have obtained my second Spirit ring, and my Spirit skill is a healing magic circle."
Fifteen years old, level twenty-four.
As an auxiliary Spirit master, this speed is not slow, but it is definitely not top-notch either. It can only be said to be average.
He nodded and suddenly asked, "Then what do you think is the most important thing for a healing Spirit master on a battlefield full of dangers?"
Jiang Zhu was stunned for a moment, then thought carefully before answering, "Yes...it's the healing amount, to ensure the health of my teammates..."
"Wrong."
He interrupted her, his tone becoming somewhat serious, "The most important thing is to survive. Only when you are alive can you heal others. If you die, no matter how powerful your healing Spirit skills are, they will be useless."
He looked at Jiang Zhu's somewhat dazed eyes and continued, "The enemy is not made of wood. They will prioritize killing you, the nurse who can continuously restore health to teammates.
Therefore, an excellent healing Spirit master must first be a master of survival.
You need to have a far superior ability to predict danger than ordinary people, physical fitness that is sufficient to support you to avoid attacks, and a brain that can remain calm and think even in desperate situations.
Being a nanny isn't a job where you just stand there and heal people."
These words were undoubtedly a completely new conceptual shock to Jiang Zhu.
The education she had received all along was about how to better improve her treatment abilities, and no one had ever told her that staying alive was the first priority.
"But...but I am a support system, and my physical fitness is not as good as that of a combat Spirit master..." Jiang Zhu hesitated.
"So you need to practice more!"
He said firmly, "From today on, your first lesson is to learn how to survive in the face of danger."
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly became sharp and he looked towards the bushes not far away.
Jiang Zhu followed his gaze and saw the bushes shaking violently. With a roar, a Spirit beast with gray-brown fur suddenly jumped out!
There was a fierce gleam in its eyes as it stared at the seemingly harmless Jiang Zhu.
As for him, he had long learned how to restrain his aura!
If he is willing, even a Titled Douluo like Dugu Bo cannot see through his true strength!
"Ah!" Jiang Zhu screamed in fright and subconsciously hid behind him.
This is a thousand-year-old Inferno Grey Wolf, known for its speed and cunning and ferocious character.
"Don't move!"
He growled, and instead of protecting her, he retreated behind a tree to the side, keeping some distance.
"Your first task is to hold out for the duration of one stick of incense while it pursues you. No attacking allowed, only dodging and running away."
"Wha...what?!"
Jiang Zhu's little face turned pale with fright in an instant. Looking at the thousand-year-old Spirit beast that was grinning and obviously regarded her as its prey, her calves felt weak.
"Senior! I...I can't do this! It will eat me!"
Crazy, crazy!
Senior is absolutely crazy!
You want me, a level 24 support, to hide from the thousand-year Spirit beast?
Senior, are you a devil?!
The Inferno Grey Wolf didn't care about Jiang Zhu's inner thoughts. It kicked its hind legs and turned into a gray lightning, rushing straight to Jiang Zhu's face!
The fishy wind almost blew Jiang Zhu's bangs.
"Wa...
The threat of death made Jiang Zhu burst out with unprecedented potential. She hurriedly jumped to the side and avoided the fatal attack in a panic, but her arm was cut by the wind blade brought by the wolf's claws, leaving a bloody wound, which was burning with pain.
I'm dying! I'm really going to die! My arm hurts! It's bleeding! I need healing! No, I need healing... but I don't have time to heal myself!
Senior, can't you see?!
Jiang Zhu was about to cry. She turned her head to look at him, but saw him leaning against a big tree with his arms folded, looking like he was enjoying a show, and even yawned lazily.
"The speed is too slow, there is no prediction, and dodging depends entirely on luck."
He commented venomously, "Are you planning to knock it out with your healing staff?"
Jiang Zhu: "…"
Knock you out! This is a thousand-year-old Spirit beast! My tiny body isn't even enough to fill its teeth! It's easy to talk without any back pain!
The Inferno Grey Wolf missed its first attack, growled, and pounced again, faster and at a more tricky angle.
Jiang Zhu's heart was pounding, and the instinct to survive overwhelmed her fear.
She forced herself to calm down, observed the trajectory of the Inferno Grey Wolf's attack, and suddenly hid behind a big tree on the side.
Swish!
The wolf's claws left several deep claw marks on the tree trunk, and wood chips flew everywhere.
"Yeah, use the environment! Obstacles aren't just decoration!"
His voice sounded at the right time, with a hint of encouragement.
This successful avoidance gave Jiang Zhu a little confidence.
She stopped running around and tried to weave around the trees, using the terrain to block the Inferno Grey Wolf's straight-line attack.
As time went by, Jiang Zhu's breathing became more and more rapid, sweat soaked her forehead, her school uniform became dirty, and she even fell several times, resulting in many scratches on her body.
But her eyes gradually changed, from pure fear at the beginning, to panic later, and then to full concentration now, trying hard to find an opportunity.
She began to learn to predict the wolf's attack habits, looking for the brief stiffness when it turned around, and trying her best to create a little distance.
He seemed casual, but in fact his Spiritual strength was highly concentrated and he was ready to take action at any time.
Seeing Jiang Zhu's progress, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
The time of an incense stick seemed extremely long at this moment.
When he finally said "time's up", the Inferno Grey Wolf stopped abruptly as if it was restrained by an invisible rein. It looked at him in confusion, then looked at Jiang Zhu who was almost exhausted and collapsed on the ground. It growled, turned around unwillingly, and ran into the depths of the dense forest.
Jiang Zhu, who survived the disaster, collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath, her whole body trembling. She couldn't hold back her tears and they fell, mixed with sweat and dirt, making her little face covered in all colors.
He walked up to her, squatted down, and handed her a clean handkerchief.
"Why are you crying? Didn't you survive?" His voice was unusually gentle.
Jiang Zhu raised her tearful eyes and looked at the man in front of her who threw her into the wolf's mouth and pulled her out. Her mood was extremely complicated.
"Senior...Senior...you're...too scary..." She sobbed and couldn't finish her words.
"But you're still alive."
He looked at her with a deep gaze, "Remember the feeling just now, remember every decision you made when death was approaching.
This is what will keep you alive on the real battlefield!
This feeling is more important than any Spirit skill!"
