Chapter Forty-Six: Entrusted by Others

  He slightly raised his head, Xiao Hong's eyebrows tightened, and he only saw a medium-sized passenger car stop quickly. Then, three young men in their twenties got out of the car, with hair dyed in various colors, looking no different from local hooligans.

  Seeing this scene, Xiao Hong's expression instinctively flashed a hint of vigilance, but the next moment, this hint of vigilance quickly retreated, because he saw that as these young men walked out, they lifted a stretcher from the magic car, on which was a man covered in blood, his arms and legs still bleeding profusely. Following closely behind him was a man whose arm had already begun to show signs of deformation.

  There were five people in total, one of whom was seriously injured and another had an obvious fracture.

  "Pharmacist, is there a pharmacist here? Hurry up and save him!" one of the guys with yellow-dyed hair said anxiously.

  Without hesitation, Xiao Hong quickly put down the book in his hand and jumped out from behind the counter, then gestured for Li Le to come over and help.

  Put the seriously injured person on the bed, take off his outer clothes, and Xiao Hongming can clearly see that there is a long wound on the thigh of the seriously injured person. Obviously, it was cut by a sharp blade, resulting in arterial rupture, but fortunately, it did not break completely. There is also a fracture at the ankle.

  This is absolutely a critical moment, and it's estimated that if they stay for just a few more minutes, the injured will die from excessive blood loss.

  Although he had already made a judgment in his heart, Xiao Hong's face did not show any signs of anxiety or panic. He stood up quickly and retrieved three medicinal patches from the drawer of the counter. After applying them, he swiftly approached the injured person and used ordinary cellular repair magic patches to mend their artery. Then, he began to carefully repair the wound, bit by bit. Through his observation of the wound, it was clear that the surface was extremely smooth, indicating that the attacker had not used a Light Wing Magic Patch, but something even more advanced.

  Xiao Hong could also sense that these people seemed like small-time hooligans, but were absolutely not simple, and even more so were the opponents they had just encountered.

  However, even so, Xiao Hong did not ask too much, but instead focused on his own busy affairs.

  On the contrary, Li Le began to ask curiously and started to get close to them, as if these guys with their sloppy attire made him feel extra familiar, even asking where they got their hair done.

  He then began to treat and set the fractures of the guy with a broken hand next to him after fixing his own wound and reattaching and repairing the fracture on his calf.

  Judging from his actions and conversation just now, this man with a fractured hand and still having black hair should be the leader of these four people.

  For fractures, Xiao Hong's treatment has already gained a lot of experience, and with the help of the fifth-grade medicinal tattoo, it only took about twenty minutes to cure both of them.

  "Thanks a lot to this young man for saving me." said the man who had previously fractured his forearm.

  "Don't be polite, I'm also here for the money." Xiao Hong's words were straightforward and to the point, implying that it was time for these people to pay their medical bills.

  "How much?" The man with a previous fracture moved his arm slightly and continued.

  "Adding up the blood-stained bed sheet, that's 62 silver coins." Xiao Hong said: "Also, judging from your appearance, you should be a Rider too. Within a week, it's best not to engage in intense activities or ride high-intensity Battle Steeds, otherwise the fracture site will shatter."

  "Ah?" Just as Xiao Hong's expression didn't change when he said those words, the young man with yellow hair behind him suddenly let out such a sound, his voice filled with unexpectedness and severity.

  "Ren Xiangge, you and Zhang Shan can't participate in the battle tomorrow. In that case, we won't even have five people for the Quyi Demon Seal Fighting Tournament." The yellow-haired young man said with a sorrowful face.

  Upon hearing this, Xiao Hong suddenly understood that these people were participants in the Kui Dou Magic Pattern Fighting Tournament. As for Kui Dou, Xiao Hong was still familiar with it. The sixth arena was not far from Xiao Hong's location, just across a street.

  The rules are also understood by Xiao Hong. Each team has five people, in a specific geographical environment against the opponent, within the specified time, to wipe out all opponents, as the victory condition.

  Participants are limited to those with a riding level of 10th dan or below.

  This duel, due to the protection of armor, has a low risk factor. However, in today's situation, one person almost died and the other was seriously injured. It is likely that the opponent will be killed or severely injured. Similarly, it is estimated that the staff on the scene did not take adequate protective measures, and during the preliminary rounds, there was no disability insurance. In other words, if someone gets killed or injured, they have to deal with it themselves.

  Of course, if the three pre-selection matches are completed, each team will receive a subsidy of 10 gold coins, and enter the regular season with a prize of 30 gold coins. For a rider at the level of a novice, it is a considerable temptation.

  But there is a prerequisite, that is, complete three games, withdraw from the competition halfway, and there will be no reward at all.

  "If we really can't make it, and can't even gather five people, then we have no choice but to withdraw from the competition. After all, we've already lost two matches, and our chances of advancing to the main tournament are extremely slim. We're just a weak temporary team that was hastily put together."

  What he said is also the case, in their G group, the strongest are the apprentices of Melon's line, and the leader is the somewhat mysterious Melon. The average level is around 7 or 8, which can be called an ultra-strong team without any weakness. Their attacks are also ruthless, and that's how they got hurt today.

  The other two teams are also very powerful.

  "Although the hope is slim, we still have hope. As long as we win against the Northern Dragon Team tomorrow and ensure that all three of us stand on the stage, there's a possibility it will appear." Huang Mao continued.

  "Haha." Zhang Shan, who had his leg broken, heard this and bitterly smiled: "Bei Long War Team, with an average level of around 5, is the undisputed hot favorite to advance from Group G. In their previous two matches, they only narrowly lost to Mei Long Yu Xian's Eagle Light War Team, and completely defeated our Kou Yin War Team. What can we use to win against them? It's a joke that three people are still standing on the stage."

  "We won't know if we don't fight. We are the conquerors, and we must fight to the end. Besides, after three battles, we still have ten jin left." Huang Mao continued.

  Li Le, who was standing beside them, heard this and slightly turned his eyes, then stretched out his hand to pull the yellow-haired guy: "You're short-handed, I can temporarily fill in for you."

  Upon hearing this, Ren Xiang, who was lying on the hospital bed, slightly focused his gaze on Li Le and asked with a hint of curiosity: "You're filling in for us, what's your driving level?"

  "We've already reached level two of the Chariot!" Li Le said proudly, holding up two fingers as if in a victory gesture.

  From Li Le's perspective, as an ordinary miner, he was able to reach level two, which is already quite remarkable.

  In the eyes of Ren Xiang and others, even if they are considered a weak team, Li Le's level is still pitifully weak, can't even control Zhan Rou, isn't that weak?

  "Even Lian Zhan and Wu can't control you, it seems like you're just a spare part." Huang Mao said with a bitter smile.

  "I may be weak, but!" Li Le said with a smile, carefully placing his hand on Xiao Hong's shoulder. "I may only be at level two, but Brother Hong is already at level five in Beast Taming. Isn't that awesome? As long as you give us a suitable price, we'll let him go."

  When Li Le said that, Huang Mao and others slightly changed their expressions, then they all turned their eyes to Xiao Hong, who looked unhealthy, with a pale face and not very robust physique.

  Of course, the temptation of a fifth-level Rider is not small for people like Ren Xiang, because Ren Xiang himself is only at level five, and most others are at level three. Only one young man with pale skin and disheveled hair, who had been leaning against the door frame from start to finish, reached level four.

  Such a lineup would naturally be a weak team in the Kui Douma Fighting Tournament, and it's even a bit pitiful.

  "Are you really a fifth-level cultivator?" Ren Xiang fixed his gaze on Xiao Hong and asked.

  "Ah...... yeah." Xiao Hong hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded his head. Originally he wanted to say that he had already reached level six, but Xiao Hong, who was not very fond of showing off, simply nodded casually.

  "Will you help?" Ren Xiang's expression became slightly serious.

  "It depends on how much money you're willing to pay." Xiao Hong smiled slightly, his words were very realistic, without any pretence. He was now almost bankrupt, and for Xiao Hong, money was naturally the first temptation.

  "Help us win this match, and I'll pay you three gold coins. If we're lucky enough to win, I'll give six gold coins. Even if we just make it through the first round, that's ten gold coins." Ren Xiang responded, clearly participating in this competition wasn't about the money for him; his father was a magic car salesman and didn't lack money, it was all about honor.

  "Hmm... alright." Xiao Hong thought for a moment, feeling that the price was still reasonable, so he nodded. Anyway, as long as he participated in the competition, he would get three gold medals, why not go?

  As for danger, there is still a little bit of it, but as long as protection is excellent, there won't be any problem.

  "What about me?" Li Le suddenly spoke up.

  "One gold, if we win it's two golds." Ren Hui responded.

  One gold coin is already a huge sum of money for Li Le, there's no disagreement about that, it's just that he doesn't seem to have any magical symbols that he can control, basically just making up the numbers.

  After reaching an agreement with both parties, Ren Xiang did not stay for long and left a basic contact information before leaving with his companions, indicating that they would come to pick up Xiao Hong and others at 8 o'clock the next day.

  He glanced at the departing Magic Liner, and Xiao Hong picked up a tactical analysis table in front of him. The strongest Eagle Light Battle Team had won two games, followed by Xiao Hong's opponent for tomorrow, the North Dragon Battle Team, which had one win and one loss, with the loss being to the Eagle Light Battle Team. Then there was the Ke Yun Battle Team, which had only beaten Ren Xiang's Other Shore Battle Team, also with a record of one win and one loss.

  In other words, if the Kao Sound team loses to the Eagle Light team tomorrow, and the Bi'an team beats the North Dragon team, then all three teams will have a record of one win and two losses, and it will come down to the net number of people won in each match to compete for the second place in the group.
