Chapter 220 Frost-bitten Eggplant
Watching the leopard leave, Ji Mo collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.
Baishui's perception was sharper. The moment Ji Mo collapsed, she supported Ji Mo. Looking at Ji Mo who looked like a bloody man, tears couldn't help but flow from her eyes and her voice was choked.
"Ji Mo, are you okay?"
She pressed Ji Mo's wound with her palm in a panic, and Ji Yun also woke up after hearing Bai Shui's call.
The leopard's attack was too shocking. The cold wind seemed to still be blowing on her face. At that moment, she felt as if she were dead.
This was not their first mission, nor was it the first time they encountered a second-level beast, but it was the first time they felt so close to death. This feeling made her unforgettable and extremely terrified.
Seeing Ji Mo collapse on the ground, she breathed a sigh of relief, her voice trembling slightly, but pretending to be calm as she said, "Bai Shui, take your hand away first, and leave the rest to me."
Ji Yun placed her palm on Ji Mo's back, a blue halo emerged from her palm, and the broken wound on Ji Mo slowly closed and healed.
Seeing Ji Mo Baishui gradually getting better, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
So many things happened in this short period of time that her mind was in a mess.
However, this life-and-death experience quickly warmed the relationship between the few people.
Even Ji Xun, who was extremely unhappy with Ji Mo, looked at Ji Mo with a complicated look at this moment.
Everyone could feel that they had almost no ability to resist the second-level beast.
Even if they were prepared and launched a sneak attack, it was like a child's play in front of the second-level Cloud Leopard and had no effect at all.
Their on-the-spot reactions were on completely different levels from that of the Cloud Leopard, almost a world of difference.
If Ji Mo had not suffered internal injuries and moved Ji Yun and Bai Shui to the side, even if they were not dead, they would have suffered serious injuries and would not have the strength to fight again.
The best performer this time was Li Sun, who was at the end of the season and had the lowest level.
On the contrary, the other three were all confused to varying degrees and were useless. Ji Xun even created an environment for the Clouded Leopard to attack, which almost caused a big mistake.
Ji Xun sat down under the shade of a tree in a very depressed mood. The scene just now kept appearing in his mind, and he felt extremely guilty.
"Surprisingly, I almost helped that damn leopard kill Sister Yun and Baishui."
Li Jun also took this opportunity to run back.
Ji Yun stood behind Ji Mo and continued to treat him. Bai Shui, who thought he was the culprit, was anxious, fearing that Ji Mo might have some problems.
The five people were silent. Li Sun was currently acting as a scout, observing any movement from the treetops.
It was not until a long time later that all the wounds on Ji Mo's body healed, and pink new flesh grew on the wounds. Ji Yun sat down on the ground tiredly. She stroked her forehead, her eyebrows twitching uncontrollably, and she seemed very tired, but fortunately Ji Mo was not seriously injured. For her, this was a blessing in disguise.
Ji Mo pretended to be in great pain and gritted his teeth, but did not make any sound. During the treatment period, he kept observing the expressions of those around him and found that the four members of Ji Xun's team were not as calm and rational as Ji Mo had imagined. After the defeat, Ji Xun wilted like an eggplant hit by frost.
Bai Shui seemed to have completely lost his mind. He stomped his body anxiously, his eyes fixed on Ji Mo, not shifting at all, and he completely forgot his duties.
While Ji Yun seemed calm, his breathing was actually rapid and he looked very dazed. The spiritual energy in his body continued to flow into Ji Mo's body for treatment. Even though it had no effect anymore, he continued to perform the treatment until he was out of spiritual energy and mentally exhausted.
Instead, Li Jun stood on the treetop, enduring his fatigue and helping them observe, but the results of this observation did not seem ideal.
During this period of time, several animals flew past them, but Li Sun seemed to be unaware of them, and his expression did not change at all. He sat on the treetop as if he was in a daze.
Although the observation period was too short, Ji Mo was very suspicious. Could it be that there were no chess pieces planted by the elders at all?
Judging from his psychological quality and behavioral habits, it doesn't look like he has been trained.
Or is it that someone among them has such superb acting skills that they even managed to fool the season finale?
At the end of the season, he was only wondering in his heart, "It seems that I need to observe for a while longer."
……
A breeze blew through the woods, bringing a chill that made the plum blossoms appear even more gorgeous.
Under the ancient tree, a dark-skinned middle-aged man leaned against the trunk, holding a newspaper in his hand and a tobacco in his mouth, exhaling white smoke from time to time.
A woman stood in front of him. Her skin was no longer as fair and tender as when she was young. Time had left wrinkles on her face. Her belly was slightly bulging, and she seemed to be out of shape and a little fat.
The man frowned frivolously, "Again? Is your desire so strong?"
The woman locked her legs together, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she said shyly, "What are you talking about?"
The elder put down the newspaper, threw the tobacco in his mouth to the ground, extinguished it, and his hands shook involuntarily, looking very obscene.
He walked towards the woman. "It's only been a few days, and you're here again. What should I say?"
The man smiled slightly, as if he had already figured out the woman's habits.
"There's business, there's business."
The man's hand was already on her body, but she did not dodge, obviously she was already used to it.
The man smiled obscenely, "I know."
"We can talk about business later."
……
At night, dark clouds covered the stars, the moon barely peeked out, and the sky was pitch black.
After a short rest, the five people in the woods finally moved forward again. At this moment, they found a relatively safe place to set up camp.
At this moment, except for Ji Mo, the consciousness of the other four people has obviously not yet gotten rid of their previous experiences.
Their mood was very wrong. They gathered around the campfire. Maybe it was because Ji Mo saved their lives or for some other reason, but Ji Yun and Bai Shui surrounded Ji Mo, making him feel a little uncomfortable.
If it were normal, Ji Mo felt that Ji Xun would have stood up and exploded by now, or at least scolded Ji Mo, but today he didn't say anything.
He lowered his head, as if thinking about something, and looked very depressed.
The atmosphere in the entire team was so depressing, and no one planned to say anything at the end of the season. After all, they had nothing to do with the end of the season.
This time, Bai Shui and Ji Yun were rescued, one to advance the mission, and the other to improve their favorability. After all, humans are emotional animals.
When the relationship is good, it is easier to push forward various things.
But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Ji Mo is not clear about why the elder asked him to come here. If two people die in succession, they will have to return to the Ji family to rest. It is unknown when they will come again next time, and it will be over in one day. The elder will inevitably punish him.
