Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 116: Turning Danger into Safety?

"Pfft!" A stream of bright red blood splattered, arcing through the air before landing on the iron plate, forming several glaring blood flowers.

Just a second before the little girl was about to land on the bone spur, Han Kexin suddenly appeared beneath her like a phantom. Although she caught Xiaoying, the bone spur pierced through her right shoulder.

Zhou Bin's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly activated his spiritual power, trying to make the iron plate harder, but the effect was not good. The bone spurs continued to emerge little by little, passing through her shoulder. During this process, Han Kexin was sweating profusely and her face turned pale. She was obviously enduring great pain.

But the bone spur didn't stop after it pierced her shoulder; instead, it continued to rise, aiming at Xiaoying above Han Kexin.

Seeing this, the others disregarded everything else and jumped from the tree onto the iron plate. At the crucial moment, Han Kexin pulled Xiaoying's body, and the bone spur finally cut through Xiaoying's arm, from which a stream of bright red blood flowed.

Just as Qin Xiaochuan ran up to Han Kexin, preparing to pick up the little girl, Feifei, who was standing on the tree, suddenly jumped down and blocked the way between him and Xiaoying.

It was facing him, so close, almost face to face, the white steam from its black nostrils almost hitting his face. Feifei stood there quietly, its bright brown eyes staring at him silently, making him feel as if he were facing a thoughtful old man.

Everyone stopped and stared at it. Qin Xiaochuan felt his heart pounding, but he didn't make any rash moves. Instead, he quietly concentrated all his strength into his fist.

However, the other party ignored him. Qin Xiaochuan didn't know whether to feel fortunate or disappointed. The other party completely ignored his existence, as well as the existence of Guo Shiyi and Zhou Bin behind him. Feifei turned around casually in front of Qin Xiaochuan, facing Han Kexin and Xiaoying behind it, leaving only its long and fluffy white tail for Qin Xiaochuan.

Qin Xiaochuan looked at the ancient beast in front of him with some suspicion, completely unable to figure out its tricks. Of course, he didn't have time to think about it too much, because after Feifei turned its head, it put its mouth towards Xiaoying.

"Blood surges! Without thinking, he slammed his fist into Fei Fei's body."

But just as he made a move, a row of bone spikes suddenly emerged from the iron plate, forming a bone wall in front of him.

Bang! His fist slammed into a bone spur, which cracked open with many small fissures, yet it still stood firmly between him and Fei Fei.

At this moment, Feifei had already put its head close to Xiaoying's body, and the little girl's face had already turned ashen with fright.

To everyone's surprise, Feifei didn't open its mouth. Instead, it put its nose close to Xiaoying's wound and sniffed it. After sniffing, it raised its head and carefully examined Xiaoying, as if it was thinking about something.

Seeing this scene, everyone held their breath. Qin Xiaochuan suddenly felt a faint hope rising in his heart. He stared intently at Fei Fei's every move, not daring to blink even once.

Feifei pondered for a long time under their suspicious gazes, then sniffed Xiaoying's wound again. Finally, as if confirming something, it gently called out to Xiaoying, and the bone spurs that had pierced Han Kexin and Xiaoying's bodies retracted. At the same time, it lowered its head and gently licked Xiaoying's wound with its tongue.

Seeing this, everyone was completely dumbfounded. At this moment, only one sentence was boiling in Qin Xiaochuan's mind: What's going on?

Although they could tell that the Fiora seemed to have no ill intentions, they still couldn't believe it and dared not make any rash moves, for fear of accidentally angering it and causing it to revert to its previous ferocious state.

Xiaoying, on the other hand, had been so frightened that her face turned pale. But after Feifei licked her a few times, she immediately relaxed. She couldn't help but reach out and pat Feifei's head, and Feifei took the opportunity to rub against her affectionately.

Seeing this, they were finally certain that Feifei meant no harm. Although they still had doubts, the crisis was finally over, and they all breathed a long sigh of relief.

At this moment, the bone wall blocking Qin Xiaochuan's path was also retracted. They immediately ran to Han Kexin's side. He glanced at Feifei, then nervously and gently carried Xiaoying to the side. Guo Shiyi immediately went to Han Kexin's side to treat her wounds.

He gently unbuttoned Xiaoying's clothes and found that the bone spur had torn off a piece of skin on her forearm. The bleeding had stopped and it wasn't serious, but the wound must have been very painful for someone her young age.

"Does it hurt?" he asked her gently.

The little girl smiled and shook her head, pointing at Feifei and saying, "It hurt a lot at first, but it stopped hurting when it licked me." Just as she said this, Feifei came over again and licked her wound with its tongue. Under its licking, the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He never expected that Feifei's licking could have the effect of relieving pain and healing wounds. It was truly amazing. He couldn't help but marvel in his heart. He wondered where this mythical beast came from. It seemed to be very attached to Xiaoying.

Why was he so vicious before, even trying to kill Xiaoying? He frowned, his gaze inadvertently falling on the little girl's wound. Before Feifei's personality changed, he sniffed her wound twice. Could it be related to her blood?

Although he couldn't figure out the answer for a while, he didn't take it to heart. Instead, he told the others that Fei Fei could heal wounds.

Upon hearing this, Guo Shiyi immediately asked Feifei to treat Han Kexin as well, but Feifei ignored her. Finally, everyone realized that this ancient beast only obeyed Xiaoying's orders.

"You two move aside first," Guo Shiyi instructed Qin Xiaochuan and Zhou Bin, because she needed to treat Han Kexin's wounds, and it was inconvenient for the two grown men to stand by.

Qin Xiaochuan and Zhou Bin then walked to the side, leaving Guo Shiyi to help Han Kexin and Xiaoying bandage their wounds.

It was already getting dark, and it would be completely dark soon. He went to the nearby area to collect some dead wood, while Zhou Bin went into the woods and caught two wild rabbits and a pheasant. He first cut the rabbits' throats and collected their blood in a specially made container.

"She's injured and needs some fresh blood to replenish her strength," he said to Qin Xiaochuan. Then, he used his metal-elemental spiritual power to make an iron pot and pot stand to prepare dinner for everyone, while Qin Xiaochuan helped him light a campfire.

After a while, Guo Shiyi finished bandaging Han Kexin and led Xiaoying and Feifei to the campfire. Zhou Bin handed Han Kexin a specially made container filled with rabbit blood.

As night fell, the forest became unusually cold, and with the north wind blowing incessantly, it was impossible to spend the night. Guo Shiyi used her spiritual power to build several wooden stakes, Zhou Bin covered the stakes with a layer of sheet metal, and Guo Shiyi then built a roof on top of it with wooden vines. Thus, a simple house made of wood and sheet metal appeared before everyone. Sitting inside the house and lighting a bonfire, they no longer felt the cold at all.

"Why don't you just build a wooden house?" Qin Xiaochuan asked Guo Shiyi.

"Do you think it's that easy?" Guo Shiyi pouted. "Even if I used up all my spiritual power, I still couldn't build a wooden house big enough for all of us."
