Chapter 983 Clues
"I heard what happened just now. They are all for my own good. For my sake, please don't hurt them." Leona raised her head with difficulty and added in a hoarse voice. As the shield of the Lieyang Sect, she has not fulfilled her duties to protect everyone, so how could she bear to die because of her?
Thinking of Leona letting go during the daytime battle, Geno also showed mercy.
"Don't get in the way of me anymore."
He used the tip of the gun to draw a dividing line on the ground, warning the two of them not to cross the line. Otherwise, they would be broken into two pieces like the spear in his hand.
The two finally saw the difference between themselves and Jeno. The gun was gilded, and being able to break it shows how terrible Geno's strength was. Looking at the dividing line under their feet that was only enough to stand on the snowy cliff beside them, they felt their eyes dazed.
Leona looked at Geno and let the two go, breathing a sigh of relief. She shook her head and felt that her groggy state had improved a little. She supported her arms and tried her best to sit up, but she fell down halfway through exhaustion.
Geno approached and helped her to the wall and leaned against it. Leona smiled and accepted his kindness. She knew her physical condition very well and could not do anything without help.
"Thank you. But I have a question, why do you want to save me when you walk with Diana?"
"Speak less, you're too weak now." Geno glanced at Leona with a slanted glance. The woman was almost dead, and she was still thinking about how to mess with him.
As for why he wanted to save Leona? Of course, it was to prevent Diana from turning against the Bright Moon Sect due to the death of her best friend, which led to Nami being unable to get the Moon Stone smoothly.
Moreover, many of his questions in his heart could probably be solved by going up the mountain to ask Soraka. It took not a day or two for Jeno to see this son of the stars. This was something he had been considering since he had just arrived here.
Leona dared not disobey him, and sat quietly watching the snow water melt and boil little by little, and then hot steam emerged.
Geno poured the boiled water into a clean cup and handed it to Leona's mouth.
“Be careful, it’s very hot.”
Leona blew a breath into the cup, and the steaming water vapor immediately covered her face. She couldn't breathe and immediately started coughing.
Geno immediately put the water cup aside and gently patted her back until her cough eased.
It seems that the people here have no experience in drinking hot water, so he can only blow the water temperature to the appropriate temperature by himself, and then hand it to her for her to hold it and drink it by herself.
She tasted it lightly, and the ordinary snow water seemed to turn into nectar of nine days into her mouth. After getting the sweetness that she had longed for, every cell in her body began to resonate, and instinctively longed for more nourishment. She let go of her reserve, and her movements became wild, responding to her instinct with a gurgling swallowing sound.
She raised her head and opened her mouth, letting the last drop of water slide into her throat, and then licked the corner of her cracked mouth with unfulfilled desire.
"Ahem, thank you... Thank you..." Feeling the residual heat transmitted to the palm of your hand, Leona sincerely expressed her gratitude to Geno.
"Drink slowly, there are still a lot of them. I'll serve you."
Geno reached out to pick up the cup, but Leona did not let go.
"I feel much better. I poured water myself. I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble."
"It's already troublesome enough to carry you up the mountain. I don't care about this more."
"Then...thank you." Leona nodded embarrassedly and politely.
Unexpectedly, drinking water would cause so much trouble. After Leona finished drinking the hot water, Geno carried her behind her without saying anything. However, this time, Leona took the initiative to cooperate with him, it went a little smoother.
Seeing that Geno was about to set off, the two warriors realized that they would have no chance if they didn't speak.
They said to Leona who was passing by: "Chief, let's take you back to the Temple of Two Fen Points after the blizzard stops. No matter what injuries you suffer, the priests will find a way to save you."
"You go back and tell the priest that I have been infected with a rare poison and can only be cured when I go to the mountain. Don't worry too much, just treat me as a pilgrimage."
Leona knew that her physical condition was very bad, and even if she persisted at the place and saw Soraka, she might not be cured. However, she still told her subordinates in a very certain tone. If even she herself was panicked, then the Lieyang Sect would definitely be in panic.
"This... OK." Seeing that the leader said so, they had to give up. It would be better to go back with bad news than to take nothing back.
After they finished speaking, Geno asked casually.
"Have you heard of a humanoid creature with horns on the forehead? Living on the Giant Peak to cure her climber who was lucky enough to see her."
"Are you talking about the Vastaya? Sorry, I've never heard of the aliens living on the Giant God Peak." The younger warrior shook his head. In his perception, only beasts have horns on the mountain.
However, the older samurai next to him had something to say.
"The forehead has horns... I seem to have heard from a girl in the tribe. She said that she had tried to climb the peak and become stronger in order to become a Lakhorak, but she met a doctor with horns on the mountainside. The doctor with lilac skin said that if she continued to climb, she would die because she climbed the peak to climb, and did not choose her own direction. The doctor treated the girl's fatal frostbite, and the girl also listened to her advice and chose to turn back. These were what I heard from her in person when I was training her. I thought she made up a story to lie to me that she had tried climbing the peak, and he never told others again... I didn't expect it to be true. I blamed her wrongly. I didn't even have the courage to try climbing the peak..."
The Lakhorak lowered his head in shame. Thinking of another person who had successfully reached the peak in front of him, he immediately wanted to die.
"Where did the girl meet the doctor?"
"It seems to be on the hillside to the east..."
"I hope you remember not mistakenly, otherwise you will be part of the responsibility if Leona dies." Geno snorted coldly and picked up the mountaineering pick from the entrance of the cave.
"It's okay, the sun will rise as usual regardless of whether it's wind or raining."
Leona's advice shone into her heart like a beam of sunshine. The warrior looked at her scorching face and felt full of power.
"Even if we burn ourselves, we will keep the sun shining!"
The two men made room for him. After Geno confirmed that Leona was tied tightly with him, he waved his mountaineering pick and knocked it into the rock wall.
"Are you ready?" he asked.
"It's OK." Leona put the hood on her, and she regained some strength. Geno could feel the slight force coming from her hands holding her neck, instead of putting it softly on her shoulders as before.
Feeling the heat hitting the back of his neck, Geno kicked his feet and threw himself into the wind and snow again.
