Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 364 Afterwards
"withdraw!"

Xu Shen did not hesitate.

If a legitimate monarch-level demon wanted to destroy them, it would be no more difficult than stepping on a few ants.

"But……"

Seeing that the snow python was about to be captured, even the usually steady Ai Jiangtu was unwilling to give up.

"withdraw!"

Xu Shen's voice became heavier and a little colder.

"I……"

Even though Ai Jiangtu was unwilling, he still condensed the constellations reluctantly.

The dimensional rift had just formed, and a black shadow covered the vast sky.

Several cold rays flashed across.

Bear claws are as sharp as knives.

Xu Shen felt a chill on his back, and the Teng Snake's wings, which had not yet folded, broke. The extreme pain made him lose control of his strength, and he almost crushed Ai Jiangtu's arm.

Ai Jiangtu's eyes were red with anger, but he endured the pain and rushed into the dimensional rift holding Xu Shen.

The next second, the two appeared several kilometers away.

Xiaobai bit Ai Jiangtu's clothes, threw them on his back, and ran out.

"Fortunately, I didn't catch up."

Nanjue, who was staring at the Icefield Holy Bear, breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, just as they expected, the Icefield Holy Bear's target was only the snow python with boiling blood, and it was not interested in them humans.

At this time, Xu Shen's face was pale and he had fainted. His entire back was covered in blood and flesh, and the broken bones in his left rib were eerie.

Bai Tingting felt extremely distressed, and cast healing magic on the wound as if it were free.

Fortunately, the wound was not fatal. If it was a few centimeters off, the spine would have been broken, which is connected to the brain nerves. Even if it could heal, it would most likely be goodbye to the magic world...

Ai Jiangtu was still in shock.

He had never felt so frightened and regretful as he did now.

Before setting out, Xu Shen had repeatedly ordered that they must retreat without hesitation if they discovered any unusual movement from the Icefield Holy Bear.

But he...

If there hadn't been that moment of hesitation, the result would never have been as bad as it is now.

Fortunately, fortunately Xu Shen is still alive.

Xu Shen was seriously injured and unconscious, and his original plan to respond improvisationally after the Icefield Holy Bear appeared could no longer be carried out.

The group returned to the base in dejection.

After Xu Shen's condition stabilized, everyone sat in the courtyard, and Ai Jiangtu confessed his mistake.

Li Kaifeng couldn't help but think of what he said before leaving, and opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

He saw the battle situation at that time.

Everyone once thought that the snow python was already in their pocket, but they never expected that the Icefield Holy Bear would be so fast, almost like teleportation.

That is Ai Jiangtu. If it were him, the consequences would only be more serious...

Bai Tingting remained silent, but the healing elf flew out, and the healing light soaked Ai Jiangtu's arm.

"Thank you!"

Ai Jiangtu spoke in a low voice, with a guilty look on his face.

Although the boiling blood was successfully brought back, the atmosphere in the entire cave was depressing that day.

Everyone would walk out of the room from time to time and take a look at the room where Xu Shen was, intentionally or unintentionally.

Time passes slowly.

Two days later, Xu Shen woke up.

Bai Tingting, who was standing by his side, burst into tears.

"You just like to show off!"

She threw herself into Xu Shen's arms, crying and cursing.

"Ah, if you hit me again I'm going to die."

Xu Shen smiled.

This injury is nothing.

Every time I left Anjie in my previous life, I had to put my head on my belt.

When Bai Tingting heard Xu Shen's words, she subconsciously paused with her fist. When she saw that he was laughing, she angrily punched him on the chest.

This bad man!

Xu Shen pinched her nose with mischievous intent, and snot bubbles immediately came out.

This made Bai Tingting so embarrassed and anxious that she didn't even have time to cry.

Hearing the noise, Jiang Huli climbed up from the other side of the bed and said in a tired tone: "Tingting hasn't slept for two days, so don't tease her." "You too?"

Xu Shen saw her bloodshot eyes and smiled heartlessly.

"I just feel sorry for Tingting."

Xu Shen did not expose her, and joked: "It's just a small injury, if I become a vegetable one day, will you also take care of me like this without closing your eyes?"

"Humph, how could that be? We are not stupid."

Xu Shen pulled the two of them to the bed, and his tone softened: "You two should have a good sleep. I'll go ask Lao Ai about his gains this time."

"Don't mention him," Jiang Shaoxu said unhappily, "He usually looks reliable, but he fails at the critical moment. If it weren't for him, you wouldn't have been hurt at all."

Xu Shen was surprised: "He saved my life from the claws of that ice bear, why do you still have this attitude?"

Bai Tingting said: "He said it himself."

"He is a straightforward man," Xu Shen praised, "He is the only one who can be so decisive. Others may not be as decisive as him."

"Okay, stop talking, you two. If you don't sleep, you'll really have panda eyes."

Xu Shen smiled and forced the two of them onto the bed, wrapping them tightly in a thick quilt.

Jiang Shaoxu glared at him and struggled to get up, but he was no match for Xu Shen's strength.

"be honest!"

Xu Shen slapped her on the buttocks through the quilt.

Jiang Shaoxu decisively stopped struggling. She had originally wanted to find some food for this bastard, but now it seemed that he would not have such luck.

When Xu Shen saw that she had calmed down, he realized that his shoulders and back were numb.

He knew that the wound was healing, so he suppressed the itch and tried to find something else to divert his attention.

As soon as I opened the door, a few strands of brown hair floated by.

This woman, Mu Tingying, was standing at the door, looking very pretty.

"How did you come?"

"I...I came to see how you were doing."

Mu Tingying spoke softly.

"Ha, you're in pretty good shape. If you're free, help me find something to eat."

"Oh, I'll go right away."

The news of Xu Shen's awakening brought life back to the courtyard that had been silent for two days.

Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan circled around Xu Shen several times as if they were looking at a rare animal.

Xu Shen asked unhappily, "What are you two going to do?"

"This is incredible! Your recovery speed is simply that of an animal!"

"Dogs bark."

Xu Shen rolled his eyes.

Do you understand the value of Tingting and "Guangyu"'s two-pronged approach?

Ai Jiangtu, who was still in meditation, also rushed over after hearing the news, and the first thing he said was an apology.

"Come on, why are you talking about this? I should thank you for saving my life."

Ai Jiangtu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

He didn't save this life.

When Xu Shen was holding him, he could clearly feel that at the moment when the ice bear's claws pounced on him, Xu Shen's body moved a few inches to the upper right.

I thought it was a coincidence at the time.

Looking back and thinking about it carefully, I realized that this was clearly the fighting consciousness honed between life and death.

If Xu Shen hadn't instinctively avoided a fatal injury, he would have brought back only a corpse or a crippled person with a broken spine...

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore," Xu Shen said, "This time we broke the snow python's heart, so it must have caused a lot of boiling blood."

"It's quite a lot," Ai Jiangtu nodded and said, "If we use it sparingly, it will be enough to last for a month and a half."

"so much?!"

"We wasted too much of the previous snow python in the battle because we were inexperienced. The amount we collected this time is almost three times more than last time."

"That's good."

Xu Shen breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction.

The result was more perfect than he had imagined.

If you can just lie down, who would want to play the exciting game of dancing on the edge of a knife with a monarch-level demon in such a cold weather?

Feng Li would never have imagined that they could survive two months in this vast ice field on their own.

Thinking of the guy's overt and covert threats before he set out, Xu Shen felt more relieved.

As a human being, you have to fight for it!
