Chapter 991 Put down your guard
A trace of determination flashed in Frost Soul's eyes, and it walked to Bing Jing's side, "I can feed it with my own blood, hoping to restore its strength."
Zhao Aimin looked at Frost Soul in surprise. After all, Frost Soul was the guardian spirit beast in the forest. Doing so would damage its power.
"It's too dangerous for you to do this. It will affect your strength and life!" Zhao Aimin said anxiously.
Frost Soul, however, looked determined, "The fate of our spirit beasts is closely connected with the forest. If the ice crystal leaves, the forest will lose its balance. I am willing to use my own power to feed it, for the sake of the harmony of the forest."
Zhao Aimin was silent for a moment, understanding Shuanghun's determination.He also deeply understood the bonds and responsibilities between spiritual beasts, so he decided to fully support it.
Frost Soul gently pricked his skin and let his blood drip into Bing Jing's mouth.As drops of blood were swallowed, Bing Jing's body gradually emitted a faint light, his injuries began to heal slowly, and his strength gradually recovered.
Zhao Aimin watched this scene quietly, his heart full of awe and emotion.He deeply understands that sometimes sacrifice and dedication can bring greater harmony and balance.
As they continued their journey, Zhao Aimin and the spirit beasts encountered a rocky slope.They crossed carefully, but in an instant, a sharp rock slipped under Zhao Aimin's feet, and he lost his balance and fell to the ground.
"Aimin, are you okay?" Shuanghun asked nervously.
Zhao Aimin struggled to sit up and shook his head, "It's okay, just his right foot was a little injured."
He carefully examined his right foot and found a deep abrasion.Although it is not serious, it can be very inconvenient to walk.
"This stone is too sharp." Zhao Aimin smiled helplessly, "It seems I have to take a rest and let the wound heal."
Frost Soul and Ice Crystal surrounded him, showing expressions of concern and worry.They found a safe place to stop together. Zhao Aimin raised his right foot, trying to let the wound get some rest and healing.
"I should have some herbs and healing abilities that can help." Frost Soul said, showing a hint of anxiety.
"Don't worry, it's just a minor injury, just in the way." Zhao Aimin comforted the spirit beasts, "Maybe I need to rest a little longer, and then we can move on."
Although he was injured, Zhao Aimin did not give up his will to move forward.He tried to adjust his mentality and try not to let the injury affect their schedule.Despite the excruciating pain in his right foot, he tried to remain calm and optimistic.
He sat quietly, closed his eyes, and tried to regulate his body's energy to relieve his injuries.This period of rest also became another way for him to think about and experience the process of spiritual practice.
The spirit beasts also waited silently beside him, seeming to be able to sense Zhao Aimin's state of mind.Their eyes were full of concern, but they did not want to disturb his practice.
While Zhao Aimin was resting, there was a rush of footsteps deep in the forest, and then a group of strangers suddenly broke into this quiet area.They were dressed in rough clothes, with fierce expressions and an air of wildness that was difficult to conceal.
"This is the place we are looking for!" a leading gangster shouted as they searched around.
Frost Soul and Ice Crystal immediately became vigilant. They stood in front of Zhao Aimin, showing alertness and preparedness.
Zhao Aimin immediately opened his eyes and realized that these people were lawless elements.He tried to stand up, but the pain in his right foot kept him from standing firm.
"Who are you? Why did you break into our territory?" Zhao Aimin asked calmly, trying to stay calm.
The leading villain showed a mocking smile, "We don't need to explain anything to you! What we are looking for is nearby, hand it over quickly!"
"We don't have what you are looking for." Shuanghun said firmly, protecting Zhao Aimin and Bingjing.
However, the outlaws were not convinced and began searching the surrounding trees and rocks, threatening to turn the forest upside down.
Zhao Aimin saw their determination, feeling anxious but helpless.He tried to stay calm and tried to find a solution to the problem.
"Why are you destroying this beautiful forest like this?" Zhao Aimin tried to calm the situation.
The thugs ignored him and continued their search.Seeing that the situation was getting more and more tense, Zhao Aimin knew that they had to leave here as soon as possible.
He considered whether to take action, but his injured right foot left him helpless.He could only silently pray to the surrounding spiritual beasts and the power of the forest to protect them, hoping that these lawless people would leave as soon as possible.
Zhao Aimin realized that facing this group of vicious criminals, they must deal with it carefully.In his injured condition, he knew very well that he could not anger these people, so he could only pretend to go with them for the time being.
"Sorry, we may have entered this place by mistake." Zhao Aimin tried to maintain calm and not let his emotions fluctuate. "We don't want to cause trouble, we are just passing by here."
"Stop talking nonsense! Hand over what we are looking for!" the leading villain roared.
Zhao Aimin knew they were looking for something, but he didn't know what it was.So he tried to pretend to help them search, "We really don't know what you are looking for, but we can help you find it. We just hope you don't harm this forest."
In his heart, he hoped that this proposal would make the villains temporarily lower their guard.He clearly realized that the most important thing now was to protect the safety of the spirit beasts and the forest.
The villains showed a hint of hesitation, but continued their search indifferently.Zhao Aimin and the spirit beasts could only be forced to accompany them under their control, and they were wary of the next development.
At this dangerous moment, Zhao Aimin began to think about how to deal with it.He knew that if given the chance, he must find a way to save himself and the spirit beasts.However, he also knew that due to his current physical condition, he could not easily challenge these criminals.
The spirit beasts also silently guarded him. Although they could not speak, they conveyed their support and trust to Zhao Aimin through their eyes.
Zhao Aimin realized that the only way to protect the spiritual beasts and the forest now was to temporarily hide his true identity.He decided to pretend to be a mortal, trying to dispel the villains' suspicion while looking for a chance to leave.
"We are just mortals and we don't understand what you are looking for." Zhao Aimin tried to emphasize their ordinary identities and try to calm the villains' doubts.
The villains stared at them, obviously not believing it.However, with Zhao Aimin's support, the villains did not take drastic action.
