Alert! Miracle doctor released from prison

"I was kidnapped and brought here. I don't even know where in the Dragon Kingdom this is," Chen Huo said frankly, there was nothing to hide.

Upon hearing this, the pretty young woman glanced at the wound on Chen Huo's arm and asked, "Are you a martial arts practitioner?"

Chen Huo was somewhat surprised: "How did you figure that out?"

"Judging from the shape of the wound, it was probably caused by an eagle claw. Judging from the shattered flesh and blood, the person who used the eagle claw used internal force. The fact that you didn't die after encountering a martial arts master means that you also practice martial arts."

The girl said with certainty.

Chen Huo nodded upon hearing this, and glanced at the girl's bamboo basket full of medicinal herbs, saying, "It seems you are also a martial artist, and you also know a little about medicine."

The girl did not answer Chen Huo's question, but pointed in a direction and said, "This mountain is called Dream Shadow Mountain. You are in the heart of this mountain. If you walk another hundred miles in this direction, you will be able to get out of the mountain."

"Dream Shadow Mountain..."

Chen Huo frowned slightly.

As far as he knew, there was no mountain in the Bashan Mountains with this name. Could it be a local name? There was no record of it in official documents.

The girl was very clever and could tell that Chen Huo did not know about this mountain, so she added, "The official name of this mountain is Tianzhu Mountain. It is located in the southwest of Lingnan. It is now a nature reserve, and very few people can enter."

"Lingnan?"

Chen Huo was somewhat taken aback.

That bastard Zhu Junchen actually brought me to Lingnan? You know, as far as I know, the Zhu family's main base is in the Bashan Mountains.

From Dingyang in the heart of the Bashan Mountains to Lingnan, it must be about a thousand kilometers. Zhu Junchen has gone to great lengths to avoid being pursued by the authorities and the Goddess Pavilion.

After carefully observing Chen Huo's expression and concluding that he wasn't faking it, the pretty young woman relaxed considerably. She glanced at the setting sun, hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"Traveling at night is inconvenient. Why don't you come with me to the mountain village to rest for the night, and we can continue our journey early tomorrow morning? I wonder if you dare to go?"

A village?

Chen Huo was somewhat surprised. In this day and age, it was rare to find such an ancient name as "village." It might even be a hidden martial arts force.

Are there any cell phones in the village?

"have."

"Okay, then I'll go with you."

"Aren't you afraid we're bad guys?"

Seeing that Chen Huo agreed without hesitation, the girl asked with slight surprise.

Chen Huo smiled slightly upon hearing this.

"You don't seem like a bad person to me. Besides, you know I'm a martial arts practitioner, yet you still invited me to the stronghold. There must be a master there. Shouldn't I be the one worried?"

The pretty girl thought about it seriously for a moment, then nodded and said, "You're right. You don't seem like a bad person. Come with me; it's not safe here after dark."

After speaking, the girl walked down the hillside and headed towards the ravine not far away. Her steps were light and graceful, seemingly leisurely, but her speed was extremely fast.

Of course, this "extremely fast" refers to the average person.

Compared to Chen Huo, he was far inferior.

This girl is also a martial arts expert.

As for their actual strength, that remains to be seen.

But judging from her appearance, which suggests she's around twenty years old, she probably isn't very strong.

"Thanks."

Chen Huo thanked her and followed about ten feet behind the girl.

It wasn't that he was afraid of the girl.

Instead, maintain an appropriate distance to avoid making the girl nervous.

The girl was satisfied with his performance and nodded secretly.

"You're welcome. Is your injury serious?"

"It's alright."

"You're not poisoned, are you?"

"No, miss, what's your name?"

"Cao Jianjia".

"The reeds are green, the dew is white as frost. The one I long for is on the other side of the water. What a beautiful name." Chen Huo exclaimed in admiration. Such poetic names are rarely seen these days.

Upon hearing this, Cao Jianjia's lips involuntarily curled up slightly, her voice becoming lighter and more cheerful. She instantly felt a sense of goodwill towards Chen Huo, and, slowing her pace slightly, smiled gently:

"It seems you're a good student."

Because her back was to him, Chen Huo couldn't see the change in her expression, but he could tell from her tone that she was very happy. The fact that she slowed down and closed the distance between them indicated that she had lowered her guard considerably.

She's such a simple girl.

Chen Huo shook his head secretly, thinking that it must be related to her being isolated in the mountains and forests. Chen Huo felt that this was not a good thing.

It's not a good thing if someone is so old and still doesn't know the dangers of the world.

However, he didn't have the habit of being a know-it-all, and smiled slightly, saying, "I'm not very good at studying, but your parents gave you such a name, so you must be a cultured person."

Upon hearing this, Cao Jianjia showed a hint of sadness and said in a low voice, "Perhaps."

Chen Huo noticed her emotional change and had a slight guess in his mind, but seeing that she didn't seem to want to say more, he didn't ask any further questions and skipped the topic.

"You seem as light as a swallow, running for a long time without being out of breath or tired. Your martial arts cultivation must be quite impressive. I wonder what level you have reached?"

"Ninth level of the King Realm".

"Oh, that's good too."

Chen Huo nodded slightly. For her age, her cultivation level was quite good. As for whether she could break through to the Emperor Realm, and when she could break through, he didn't know.

"And you?" the girl asked curiously, tilting her head slightly.

"Third tier of the Emperor Realm."

"What?"

The girl abruptly stopped, turned her head, and stared at Chen Huo in disbelief. She said with a mixture of surprise and doubt, "You don't look much older than me, how can you have such terrifying cultivation? Are you lying to me?!"

Chen Huo didn't argue. With a thought, he unleashed the aura of a third-level Emperor Realm expert. The girl was startled, her beautiful eyes widening in disbelief:

"It's actually true! The intensity is almost the same as what my mother-in-law said!"

Chen Huo noticed the information about traditional Chinese medicine in the girl's words and asked curiously, "How many people in your village are as strong as your mother-in-law?"

The girl immediately became wary: "Why are you asking that?"

Chen Huo shrugged and said helplessly, "I was just asking casually. We can't just keep going like this without saying anything, can we?"

"I won't tell you, in case you're a bad person?"

The girl snorted and turned to continue walking.

He took two steps and then stopped, turning his head to look at Chen Huo.

"Come with me, it's tiring talking like this."

She has confirmed that Chen Huo is a third-level Emperor Realm expert.

Even stronger.

If Chen Huo harbored malicious intentions, a distance of one zhang (approximately 3.3 meters) would not be enough to deter him.

It would be more dignified to walk side by side with them.

"OK."

Chen Huo smiled slightly, walked to Cao Jianjia's side, glanced at the medicinal herbs in her bamboo basket, and asked, "You also know medicine?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Jianjia lowered her eyes, revealing a hint of sadness, and said somewhat dejectedly, "I only know a little bit. My grandmother knew a lot, but unfortunately she couldn't even save herself."

What illness does your grandmother have?

Chen Huo asked curiously.

The girl took the initiative to invite him to stay overnight at the mountain stronghold. She is a kind and good woman. If he can help her cure her family member, it would be a way to thank her.
