Xiang Beifei checked Liu Gui's injuries. Liu Gui had a bruised forehead, and there were scratch marks on the tree beside him as if he had fallen from its branches and been knocked unconscious.
Liu Gui's system was not the Martial Arts System; his system tasks and rewards were all business-related — he seemed clumsy, having been rendered a complete muggle after jumping from a height of five meters.
Xiang Beifei had not learned any relevant healing techniques yet, but Elder Luo had taught him how to use spiritual power. Xiang Beifei's spiritual power transformed into an invisible wave, absorbed into Liu Gui's mind.
Liu Gui's body trembled as if electrified, and he woke up with a start, then sat up, looking at Xiang Beifei with a face full of terror.
"Who are you?" Liu Gui asked cautiously.
Xiang Beifei did not respond directly, but instead asked, "Were you hit by a cruise ship last night?"
"Yes, yes! We were driving home last night when a cruise ship suddenly appeared on the highway and hit our car. We woke up, and we were here..."
At this point, Liu Gui looked at Xiang Beifei with uncertain suspicion, "Were you also captured by him?"
"Him?" Xiang Beifei frowned, "Who is he?"
Liu Gui, rubbing his shoulder, shook his head, "I don't know who he is. I've been looking for Xiao Yun since I woke up, and then I encountered a desolate beast. I don't know what this desolate beast is called; it looks like a tiger. It kept chasing me, so I climbed up a tree. Then I heard a voice, a man's voice in my mind, saying that I had to find Xiao Yun if I wanted to survive—"
Liu Gui paused here, hesitated, and did not finish. He lifted his head and asked urgently, "Have you seen Xiao Yun? A girl in a white short-sleeved shirt, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old."
"I have seen her, but we got separated," Xiang Beifei said.
"Did you come here alone?"
"I'm with another girl... uh, she's my girlfriend," Xiang Beifei remembered Lu Zhiwei mentioning pretending to be a couple and decided to go along with the act.
Liu Gui seemed to realize something and whispered, "So your situation is the same as ours. Have you heard the voice of that man?"
Xiang Beifei's gaze sharpened; without a look, he dodged to the side and, turning around, his fist lit up with flames as he threw a punch.
Bang!
His fist directly sent the ambushing desolate beast flying! The ambusher, a desolate beast, crashed against a distant tree, snapping one as thick as a bowl.
It was an Ice Tiger covered in frost, sharp ice ridges all over its body. After being punched away by Xiang Beifei, it quickly stood up, staring fixedly at him.
Xiang Beifei didn't know the academic name of this Ice Tiger. Previously, during the entrance examination, he suffered from not recognizing the Three Souls Desolate Snake and thought about cramming the names and types of desolate beasts, but these past few days, he had been busy practicing with Elder Luo and had put it off.
However, not knowing the academic name of a desolate beast wasn't important. He didn't know the names of those snakes either, but still, he was able to analyze them thoroughly.
The name isn't important; what matters is how to kill them.
This Ice Tiger had the strength of a later stage Qi-Controlling martial artist, and it wasn't a desolate beast created by the system but a real one, seemingly captured from the outer wilderness domain and tamed!
Roar!
The Ice Tiger, angry at being punched away in one encounter, vigorously roared. From its mouth, it expelled a chilling gust of wind which drifted in the air, transforming into a rapidly spinning tornado that swept through.
Xiang Beifei did not hesitate and stretched out his fist to scatter the tornado once again.
However, the dispersed tornado turned into ice shavings, which scattered in the air. Then, all of a sudden, the ice shavings abruptly swelled, transforming into numerous sharp ice blades surrounding Xiang Beifei from all directions!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The countless ice blades charged fiercely at Xiang Beifei, cutting off all possible escape routes.
Yet Xiang Beifei wasn't panicked; spiritual power surged around him, instantly igniting into flame gales that encircled him!
