"Pa da pa da …"

In the dark and misty forest, a bonfire was quietly lit.

The dim yellow light seemed to have become the only light in the forest, and also the source of warmth.

As if he felt the warmth, the young man who had been unconscious for a long time finally opened his eyes in a daze.

The moment he opened his eyes, the young man's face was filled with confusion.

However, the intense pain that came from his abdomen caused him to suddenly recall something.

Immediately after, he hurriedly looked at his abdomen.

The glaring bloodstains were extremely conspicuous.

Even though his flesh and blood had healed due to the nourishment of the spiritual energy, it was not difficult to know how ferocious and terrifying the wound was.

However, it was also because of this scene that the young man, who was not a fool, was able to think that someone must have saved him.

Otherwise, even if he could escape this calamity, his nameplate would shatter and he would be teleported out of this desert world.

Therefore, he hurriedly swept his gaze around. In less than a breath's time, his eyes met with a pair of bright and beautiful eyes that seemed to be emitting a bright light even in the dark night.

"It's you?!"

At the same time, the young man could not help but exclaim out loud.

He thought that someone had saved him.

However, he never thought that the person who saved him would actually be him!

When his gaze met the young man's, the shock on his face and the exclamation of surprise were naturally incomparably clear to Yan Chutian.

As a result, his eyes couldn't help but flicker, because it seemed that the other party recognized him.

However, even if the other party recognized him, there was nothing strange about it.

After all, he had appeared with Mai Hanyi. Whether it was Yuan Yang or the silver disciple under Ba Hong, they had all seen him.

However, what made Yan Chutian slightly concerned was that the other party did indeed recognize him, but the feeling that was unintentionally revealed seemed to have an additional trace of guilt.

Even though this trace of guilt looked extremely inconspicuous, it was enough for him to keenly sense that this young man did not simply recognize him.

In fact, Yan Chutian's feeling wasn't wrong. This young man should have a guilty conscience against Yan Chutian.

That was because he had already secretly received orders from Wang Chen to find Wang Chen after entering this mountain forest and find an opportunity to teach him a lesson.

Thus, even though he had found the other party, the other party was using the identity of his savior. Thus, how could the young man be calm and not feel guilty?

However, no matter how resourceful Yan Chutian was, it was impossible for him to know what he was thinking from the hint of guilt that he revealed.

However, with his sharp mind, he had already paid more attention to this young man.

"You can continue to recover. I will protect you."

Soon after, Yan Chutian did not say anything else. He faintly spat out these words before slowly withdrawing. Soon after, he seemed to have merged into the darkness and was difficult to find.

However, even if Yan Chutian didn't do that, how could this young man have the courage to sense his location?

Right now, he was only afraid that his identity and purpose would be discovered by Wang Chen.

If he was discovered, he didn't think that Wang Chen would show any mercy.

After all, even though he was at the fifth level of the Heavenly Palace stage and was extremely confident that he could suppress Wang Chen, it was just words.

Like words, it was something that had happened in the past.

Right now, he was seriously injured and his cultivation was less than ten percent. Even someone who had just entered the Heavenly Palace stage could easily injure him.

Not to mention that Wang Chen was at the perfect third level of the Heavenly Palace stage.

Thus, the young man hurriedly withdrew his aura and quickly recovered.

At this moment, when he carefully sensed his condition, his expression became even uglier. The injuries he had suffered were simply too great.

This didn't mean that the injury on his abdomen was serious, but that a lot of his essence blood had been devoured.

However, essence blood was something that nourished the body and even the Heavenly Palace. How could it be lacking?

"Blood Pearl Fruit!"

This situation caused him to suddenly think of a heavenly treasure. This was because the healing effect of this heavenly treasure was extremely suitable for his current situation.

However, when he thought of the Blood Pearl Fruit, the young man's expression became even uglier. After all, he didn't have any Blood Pearl Fruit on him.

Moreover, in this Heavenly Desert World, where would there be natural treasures?

After understanding his situation, the young man's expression became even uglier.

However, even without the Blood Pearl Fruit, he had to bite the bullet and begin to heal his injuries.

Otherwise, in this Heavenly Desert, he would only be a useless burden that everyone could step on.

When the young man braced himself and began to recover, although Yan Chutian was vigilant against him, she still did as she said and obediently carried out the task of guarding him.

As the night deepened, Yan Chutian suddenly noticed that there was something wrong with the young man's recovery.

Almost six hours had passed, but the Blood Qi emitted from his body was still very thin. Even his face was still pale.

Although Yan Chutian was puzzled, he quickly thought of something. This was probably because Wang Chen didn't have a natural treasure that could deal with such a situation.

If it was outside the Heavenly Desert, Yan Chutian definitely wouldn't be a good person.

However, in this Heavenly Desert, the Cloud Sky Bloodline was weak. Hence, he couldn't bear to see a disciple of the Cloud Sky Bloodline in such a situation.

Otherwise, how could the Cloud Sky Bloodline, which was weak to begin with, fight against the other seven bloodlines?

Hence, in the darkness, a blood-colored fruit slowly appeared in Yan Chutian's palm.

Immediately after, he used his spiritual energy to wrap the blood-colored fruit and swept it in front of the young man.

The blood-colored fruit was the Blood Pearl Fruit. When the Blood Pearl Fruit swept in front of the young man, Yan Chutian's indifferent voice slowly rang out.

"This Blood Pearl Fruit should make up for the essence blood that you devoured. You don't have to feel that you owe me anything. You can return this natural treasure to me after leaving the Heavenly Desert."

When Yan Chutian said that, even though the young man hesitated, he had no reason to refute.

Furthermore, this Blood Pearl Fruit was what he urgently needed. Hence, how could he say no?

After hesitating for a while, the young man finally gritted his teeth and swallowed the Blood Pearl Fruit. However, at the same time, he didn't forget to look at Yan Chutian and hurriedly said, "I owe you this Blood Pearl Fruit.

"I owe you this Blood Pearl Fruit. Once I, Pan Yue, leave this Heaven Desert, I will definitely repay you!"

Hearing this, Yan Chutian didn't say anything and only gave a faint 'En' sound. Then, in the darkness, he fell silent again.

However, although Yan Chutian appeared calm, Pan Yue, who had already consumed the Blood Pearl Fruit, wasn't as calm.

One must know that he had accepted the mission to teach the other party a lesson.

However, now, he had to be under the other party's control and kindness to be able to protect and recover himself.

For Pan Yue, who had always been prideful, how could he accept this?

He wasn't an ungrateful and shameless person.

He was extremely conflicted in his heart. However, as the medicinal power of the Blood Pearl Fruit was gradually refined, he temporarily put these conflicted emotions aside.

This was because the most important thing now was to refine the Blood Pearl Fruit and recover himself.

This Blood Pearl Fruit wasn't easy to obtain and he didn't want to waste it.

Furthermore, even if the other party had a second Blood Pearl Fruit, he wasn't shameless enough to hide the truth from the other party and accept the second Blood Pearl Fruit.

As the medicinal power of the Blood Pearl Fruit was gradually refined and absorbed, Pan Yue could clearly feel that the remnant essence blood in his body was being replenished bit by bit.

Although this replenishment wasn't eye-catching, it was undoubtedly like rain after a long drought to him. How could he not feel it clearly?

Although the Blood Pearl Fruit wasn't some sort of precious natural treasure, it was able to bring out such an excellent effect when used in the most appropriate place.

While Pan Yue was gradually recovering, Yan Chutian, apart from guarding him, also began to wholeheartedly investigate the natural spirit formation.

Although the natural formation had the advantage of time and place and there were almost no flaws or loopholes to speak of, there should still be a formation core in the formation. The core of the formation meant that there was a way to escape.

Even if he could be safe and sound in the natural formation and continue to search for crystal essences, he couldn't guarantee that all the disciples who entered the forest would be able to do so.

Therefore, he had to find a safe exit as soon as possible.

Otherwise, there would be disciples of the Cloud Sky Lineage who might be eliminated like Pan Yue.
