Chapter 119: The Ghost Protected Her?
The Black Crow’s eyes lit up when it saw the dried meat Song Tiantian gave it. With so much dried meat, how long would it last!
Song Tiantian did not use the Pet Beast Manual to check the Black Crow’s attributes and status.
She didn’t know before and thought her System was very powerful. Now she realized it was just a Fierce Beast. She was afraid Dr. Bai would notice anything unusual, so she decided to keep some cards up her sleeve, just in case they met again as friends.
Fortunately, she had used it on the White Lotus before, and Dr. Bai was not present at the time.
Song Tiantian didn’t know how much Dr. Bai had noticed, so she just acted as if Dr. Bai knew nothing, to avoid overthinking.
Dr. Bai knew Song Tiantian was exaggerating a bit, but he was well aware that Song Tiantian wouldn’t talk nonsense. She just liked to add a little artistic flair when she spoke.
“So you were forced by that Liu Zhe and had no choice but to hide in the Secret Realm, you didn’t come specifically to save me!”
Dr. Bai leaned on his wooden stick, looking up at Song Tiantian, who was sitting on Big White. Song Tiantian was leisurely drinking a beverage and eating dried meat, not even offering him a bite.
Unfortunately, Song Tiantian could read the minds of Pet Beasts, but not Dr. Bai’s. She didn’t notice what Dr. Bai was thinking and directly said to him, “I wanted to save Doctor, but my abilities are limited. I happened to discover your trace in this Secret Realm, so I came to see if I could save Doctor!”
Song Tiantian wasn’t lying either. It would have been too disingenuous to say she came specifically to save him.
It was too dangerous here. Her relationship with Dr. Bai was good, but not good enough for that.
She had already saved Dr. Bai, and now was the perfect opportunity for revenge.
She immediately said to Dr. Bai again, “Doctor Bai, entering the Restricted Area was very dangerous for me. If I hadn’t been forced by Liu Zhe, I wouldn’t have risked my life to find you. I was waiting for you to return and seek justice for me. That Liu Zhe is truly too much.”
When you return, you can investigate with confidence. I haven’t told a single lie. Look at the scars on my arm; they are fractures and cracks. When I first entered, my body was still emitting the smell of blood.
Both of my Pet Beasts were seriously injured. I ignored my own wounds and piled a lot of Fierce Beast dung on myself, making me stink. It still faintly smelled, but after applying Mimosa juice and marinating it again, the smell disappeared.
Song Tiantian suddenly remembered that when she entered this Secret Realm, she was bleeding and hadn’t found any Fierce Beast dung yet. At that time, she must have been very appetizing, and her blood was still fresh.
But no Fierce Beasts attacked her then.
Low Level Fierce Beasts lacked reason but instinctively feared High Level Fierce Beasts.
Without knowing it, she had bound with the System. That binding could also be considered a Contract; they shared fortunes and misfortunes.
The System might be a Ghost, and Ghosts are Nine-star Fierce Beasts.
So, indirectly, the Ghost protected her.
The aura of a Nine-star Fierce Beast had spread out without her knowledge, protecting her.
That’s why those Low Level Fierce Beasts didn’t dare to approach her.
The Fierce Beasts attacking Zeng Ningdie also didn’t dare to approach because she was there.
This protection was controllable because it didn’t happen in other Secret Realms. At that time, she wasn’t injured, and the Hell Ghost Vine was also intact.
Therefore, the System had no reason to protect her.
She would have to check Dr. Bai’s library for Pet Beast Contracts when she returned.
She couldn’t be sure before, but now she was one hundred percent certain that the System had intelligence.
Since it had intelligence and couldn’t be controlled by her, she had to be very careful.
“That sounds terrible. This Liu Zhe is truly too much. It’s a shame my body is currently, cough, cough, cough…”
Dr. Bai coughed a few times and licked his dry lips. He wanted to drink water.
But Song Tiantian acted as if she didn’t see it and instead said to Dr. Bai, “Doctor, I understand you. You’re injured now and need time to recover. We’re not in a hurry. Let’s find a place to hide and leave the Secret Realm first.
There are too many Fierce Beasts in the Secret Realm, it’s too dangerous.
We can’t let Liu Zhe know you’re alive yet, or he’ll definitely kill you too.”
“I want to rest!”
“Doctor, you need to be strong. It’s too dangerous here. Let’s speed up and rest near the exit of the Illusion Grass.”
“There are the auras of two Nine-star Fierce Beasts here. Ordinary Fierce Beasts wouldn’t dare to approach.”
“Doctor, but they are both injured and their Strength is much weaker than before. Don’t blame me for speaking harshly, but good advice is hard to swallow. Let’s at least rest in the Five-star Fierce Beast area.
I’m tired too! I really want to rest!”
Dr. Bai looked up at Song Tiantian, who was resting in a reclining chair. He wanted to drink water and eat dried meat.
But thinking about Song Tiantian’s arduous journey to save him, she probably hadn’t rested properly for days and had been living in fear.
Now that he was here, she was probably relaxing for a moment.
He was actually fine and could walk without a crutch, but using one made it easier.
In the blue sky, white clouds drifted by.
It felt so good to feel the sunlight again.
Although he was using a crutch, his pace was not slow. He kept up with Big White for several hours.
Finally, they stopped to rest in the Territory of a Seven-star Fierce Beast.
Big White was hungry and couldn’t walk anymore, so it couldn’t continue traveling and needed to return to its Pet Beast Space to rest. Even the Hell Ghost Vine, without even catching up with the White Lotus, said it needed to go back and rest.
The White Lotus was confused. Wasn’t it more comfortable outside than in the Pet Beast Space?
It thought perhaps the Hell Ghost Vine had weakened, getting tired after such a short walk.
It, for example, basically never returned to the Pet Beast Space.
Unless it displeased Dr. Bai and was forcibly taken back into the Pet Beast Space.
Song Tiantian then released the Illusion Grass. The Illusion Grass had rested for a long time and it was time for it to come out and guard.
The Illusion Grass was in excellent condition, having rested the whole time and not done much work.
It had even been fighting with Big White and the Hell Ghost Vine in the Space, so it was good to let it out for some fresh air.
As soon as the Illusion Grass came out, it complained to Song Tiantian that Big White and the Hell Ghost Vine were bullying it.
Song Tiantian knew the truth. Big White couldn’t speak, but the Hell Ghost Vine could.
However, with Dr. Bai present, it wasn’t convenient for Song Tiantian to discipline the Illusion Grass. Song Tiantian planned to properly educate it when they were alone.
Dr. Bai finally got to drink Flower Dew and eat dried meat.
The Illusion Grass also diligently caught a Fierce Beast for Song Tiantian, asking Song Tiantian to drain its blood for it to eat, and for the meat, it would make Roasted Meat for Song Tiantian.
Dried meat certainly wasn’t as fragrant as freshly roasted meat.
