"Bastard! What the hell did you do to Xiu Yi?"
Mengdie, unaware of Red Ghost's strength, had not used enough ice sealing power to lock down the nearly Rank2 warrior. As Red Ghost spoke, her momentum gathered, forcibly enhancing her combat power. In a blur, she shattered the ice prison, then with a leap, she threw a straight punch directly at Mengdie.
Watching the fist getting closer, Red Ghost thought she had succeeded, but just as the punch was about to make contact, Mengdie's bizarre body maintained a perfect distance, retreating back to dodge the attack. So close was the punch that it almost grazed her chest, letting Red Ghost feel the fresh breeze emanating from Mengdie.
Who knew that her punch would hit nothing but air, and in the aftermath of her inertia, she almost didn't stabilize her footing, staggering forward…
Mengdie slightly lowered her gaze, letting Red Ghost pass by her without explanation or counterattack, which puzzled Red Ghost. The other party obviously had ill intentions, so why did she not seize such an opportunity to attack? Was her only target Xiu Yi?
Knowing the hunting laws of Bull Planet, Red Ghost understood the importance of eradicating the root of problems, yet this woman... With Xiu Yi's condition still unknown, she must subdue her at all costs. With a resolve to die if necessary, Red Ghost suddenly twisted her body to spin around, her feet touching the ground in an instant, as if thunder struck twice toward Mengdie.
However, as fast as Red Ghost moved, she discovered Mengdie's movements were superior. A seemingly slight hop backward created a significant gap. Then, raising her hand, she formed multiple intricate seals at an overwhelming pace, accompanied by a white glow around Mengdie, who slowly ceased her sealing gestures…
Meanwhile, Red Ghost's punches surged fiercely, but the delayed punch and the protruding middle finger only just grazed Mengdie's surroundings…
Boom! It hit solidly, but what Red Ghost shattered seemed not to be Mengdie's body, but rather like striking a block of ancient, solid ice. The ice instantly transformed into ice-flower jade butterflies, scattering into the void, bringing with them an ancient breeze.
This... What was happening? Her brief encounter with Mengdie felt like a dream that defied understanding, rendering Red Ghost completely unable to grasp what was occurring around her. She quickly turned her gaze back to Xiu Yi, shouting as she picked him up, "Kid, wake up! Hey, are you okay? Answer me, Xiu Yi! Aren't you the protagonist of the future? How can you just... stop breathing?"
Unable to believe what was happening around her, Red Ghost, after confirming that Xiu Yi indeed had no breath left, did not hesitate to throw him into the car and then stepped on the accelerator, vanishing into the vast wilderness...
Bull Planet's backward medical technology was common knowledge, roughly at the level of the late 21st century. A misdiagnosis could easily result in a living person being abandoned to their fate, which is why Red Ghost did not take Xiu Yi directly to the hospital. That would not only waste time, but also because she did not trust the medical technology of Bull Planet. Instead, Uncle Tuolei, with his broad knowledge and vision, might have facilities that couldn't be found elsewhere.
Hearing the messy footsteps outside, Tuolei thought Xiu Yi had returned. These young people were always so clumsy. But who would have thought that Red Ghost would appear before him?
"Uncle, please save Xiu Yi, he's in a terrible state," she implored.
When Tuolei asked what happened, Red Ghost briefly summarized the whole incident.
Tuolei's turbid eyes rarely showed a burst of expression. He then probed Xiu Yi's breath and his somewhat feverish body... Xiu Yi's condition was very strange. Normally, no breathing would indicate death, with the body cooling down, but Xiu Yi's condition was the exact opposite—his body was hot, and his pulse seemed steady. Tuolei stroked his chin in thought for a long while…
The waiting made Red Ghost anxious, and she hurriedly asked, "Uncle, what do you think about Xiu Yi's condition?"
"Huh, not simple at all. Under the influence of the protagonist's halo, this kid looks like he's not breathing, but it's just a kind of suspended animation."
Red Ghost gasped! Could you not take this more seriously? It's a critical moment, and here you are still shrouded in mystery...
Tuolei seemed to realize his tone was inappropriate and casually coughed, saying, "A beating will do." As he said this, he picked up Xiu Yi by the collar of his shirt as if lifting a small chicken, then suddenly delivered a knee directly into Xiu Yi's abdomen! Following that, a fierce punch hammered into Xiu Yi's face.
Seeing the scene unfold startled Red Ghost, and she felt vicarious pain... This kid might be tough, but he couldn't be beaten like that—continue this way, and even good guys might not survive.
However, Tuolei's relentless assault did not stop. With a few more consecutive punches, Red Ghost wanted to intervene, but was held back by a fierce glare from Tuolei…
Uncle Tuolei's decisive and sharp actions were quite impactful, so much so that Red Ghost's lips curled slightly. Even used to life and death as she was, she couldn't help but be amazed. She had never imagined Uncle Tuolei could be so ruthless; as a Rank2 warrior, Red Ghost suddenly felt that not even she could withstand his attack—was this the aura of the strong?
With a resounding shout, Tuolei's offensive finally ended with a high kick that thoroughly woke Xiu Yi. That kick, exuding dominance, lifted almost with a howl, striking directly at Xiu Yi's face.
