Jiu Muli ran for an entire hour. When she was finally sure that the green lizard would not chase up to them again, Jiu Muli found a place to rest, and sat down in the shade to pant.
Jiu Muli was currently in a shrubbery. These shrubbery grew extremely tall and dense.
Noon, the sun was blazing. Some of the bushes had their leaves burnt. Jiu Muli sat in the shade of the trees outside the shrubs, the narrow shade of the trees just barely blocking out the sunlight.
Jiu Muli wanted to rest here.
They were on land, a huge piece of land. Looking around, there were no streams in sight.
The Abyssal Devil Pool's demonic beast mostly grew in the water, and there were many beasts on the land as well. However, most of them were small rabbits like beasts, which were not dangerous, and their only use was to feed the people who were wandering in the Abyssal Devil Pool.
Jiu Muli was not hungry. She could hear the rustling sounds of animals running around in the bushes, it was reasonable for her to shout.
Jiu Muli wanted to rest and have a good rest right now. Travelling for half an hour was nothing much, but back then when he fought that green lizard, Jiu Muli had used up too much of his mental energy and physical strength.
Her nerves had always been stretched taut, and the taut nerves made Jiu Muli feel especially tired. Right now, the only thing she needed was rest to replenish the mental energy she had expended.
The blood flow from the wound on Jiu Muli's left upper arm had already stopped, and her face had turned white from excessive blood loss.
Although the wound had stopped bleeding, there was too much dust on it that he needed to wash it and bandage it again.
Jiu Muli took out the water bottle. The water bottle was very light, Jiu Muli shook it, but there was no water in the bottle.
"Blacky, go get me some water." Jiu Muli threw the wine pot to Blacky, who bit on it steadily. It took a look at Jiu Muli's wound, and without saying a word, he quickly ran off to find a water source.
Blacky returned very quickly, and when he came back with a whole pot of water, Jiu Muli had already ripped off a few strips of cloth from his clothes.
She first washed her already scarred wounds with water. Jiu Muli was extremely careful in the process of cleaning them, but he still touched her wound and fresh blood flowed out again.
The smell of blood woke those sleeping in the bushes.
A sound of rate of contact suddenly came out from the bushes, it was urgent but it quickly arrived in front of Jiu Muli.
That short sword struck against Jiu Muli's back, colliding with the weapon that Jiu Muli did not have time to take out, causing a sharp and ear-piercing sound to ring out.
Jiu Muli turned his head to look, and saw a man in tattered clothes standing behind her. His hair was not exactly disheveled, but it was true that he was dressed in tattered clothing.
The man's hair was disheveled like the weeds in a bird's nest, and his clothes were dirty and tattered. He didn't look like a cultivator at all, but the dangerous aura he exuded indicated that he truly was a cultivator.
This person's strength was very strong. This was Jiu Muli's first impression of him, and it was even stronger than the last life green lizard!
He was strong in his reaction speed and sensitivity, strong in this dagger's aggressive aura!
Jiu Muli blocked his sudden sneak attack as he quickly jumped up and stood in front of the man.
The man was very surprised to see Jiu Muli. Yes, his expression was surprised.
He kept his short sword and looked at Jiu Muli. He did not explain his previous actions, nor did he continue the fight with Jiu Muli.
"What do you mean?" Jiu Muli asked, as the Blacky blocked the man's path.
The man turned to look at Jiu Muli. There was no anger in his eyes, but instead a little shame, yes, shame.
He opened his mouth, but no words came out. He then opened his mouth and said a vague syllable. It should be 'I'.
"You?"
"I, I thought you were a demonic beast." He pointed to Jiu Muli's bleeding arm, "It woke me up." He could not speak clearly, and there was something wrong with his expressive ability.
He woke up because of the smell of blood, but he only used the word "noisy".
However, Jiu Muli heard the meaning behind the man's words.
"I thought it was the green lizard." It was only then that the man's words became clear.
"green lizard?"
"Don't you know about green lizard?" Jiu Muli shook his head, "The only kind of demonic beast that can climb ashore in Abyssal Devil Pool is a green lizard."
"I just arrived at Abyssal Devil Pool today, so I'm not very clear about the situation there."
The man nodded. "I've been here for thirty years, and if you have anything you don't understand, ask me. Just treat it as me apologizing for what happened."
Thirty years later, Jiu Muli once again judged this man.
His sword was broken. It did not have a natural broken sword. His sword must have been broken in some battle. His clothes were ragged, and his skin was faintly visible.
His skin was covered with scars, the big ones were small, the deep ones were shallow, and the only smooth part was his face.
His face was covered in filth, so it was impossible to tell what he looked like.
From the material of his tattered clothes, it could be seen that before he came to Abyssal Devil Pool thirty years ago, he should have been a favored son of heaven with status. In thirty years of time, the Abyssal Devil Pool had forcefully turned this favored by heaven into a homeless person.
Jiu Muli's heart was filled with emotion at that moment.
The man did not return to the shrubbery. He stayed where he was, waiting for Jiu Muli to ask him questions about the Abyssal Devil Pool.
Jiu Muli sat back on the ground and continued cleaning up her wounds. She did not say anything, and the man did not say anything either.
After cleaning the wound, Jiu Muli used the remaining clean water to wash the piece of cloth that she tore off. After cleaning the wound, he wrapped the piece of cloth layer by layer around the wound.
During the entire process, both of them did not speak a word, and the man did not take the initiative to help Jiu Muli bandage his wounds.
After wrapping the wound up, Jiu Muli took out a pill and stuffed it into his mouth. The man saw that the moment Jiu Muli took out the pill, both of them lit up.
The pill that Jiu Muli took out was a top-notch recovery type pill. It could quickly recover the consumed Innate Qi in its body, and allow one's body to quickly recover to its peak state.
In a place like the Abyssal Devil Pool, physical strength and energy were extremely important. In terms of physical strength and energy recovery, Jiu Muli was not stingy to himself at all, but he could not be stingy either.
The moment Jiu Muli swallowed the pill, the man gulped down his saliva. He had used up all his pill long ago, and now, he was out of food.
He did not have the intention to snatch Jiu Muli's pill.
After doing all this, Jiu Muli looked at the man. She thought for a bit, but didn't ask him about the demonic beast s on the Abyssal Devil Pool first, and asked instead:
"I heard that the Demon Emperor sent the ninth disciple to the Abyssal Devil Pool. You have been here for thirty years, you must know where he is, right?" Jiu Muli said with certainty, but his tone was filled with doubt.
