338 Request for Help from the Enemy

Speaking of which, although Lin Ran ran around all day, he didn’t know many people. It was mainly because he was too powerful and didn’t need to ask for help, so he naturally couldn’t be bothered to waste his time socializing.

Therefore, at this moment, Lin Ran couldn’t help but find it strange to see a familiar person he didn’t know. Even if he didn’t want to admit it, he was indeed a little face-blind. For him to find someone familiar, it must be someone he had interacted with a lot before.

After thinking about it carefully for a moment, Lin Ran still couldn’t remember where he had seen this person before. He turned to look at Ye Jin and asked, “I wiped his face clean. Do you know him?”

“I’ve never seen him.”

!!

Ye Jin shook her head after taking a glance. Lin Ran’s expression immediately became even stranger.

Apart from the residents of the Iron City, Lin Ran hadn’t seen anyone else recently, but even if this person wasn’t from the Iron City, he should have heard of such a young senior grandmaster… Wait! A young senior grandmaster?

Lin Ran’s eyes lit up, and a thought suddenly flashed across his mind—Liu Ruxi! Nanjiang Town!

If there were any young grandmasters in the world that Lin Ran didn’t know, it would probably be the “cocoons” in Nanjiang Town.

However, ever since Lin Ran caused a mess in Nanjiang Town last time, the entire town was in ruins. Liu Ruxi and the “cocoons” were nowhere to be found.

Now that only half a month had passed, it was almost impossible to rebuild Nanjiang Town, so Lin Ran did not pay much attention to what Liu Ruxi was up to lately. However, when he saw this seriously injured young man on the verge of death today, he suddenly had an ominous feeling.

While thinking, Lin Ran sent his divine sense into the young man’s body. Unlike the previous careless examination, this time, he seriously checked the young man’s injuries.

“Ye Jin!”

Lin Ran shouted without looking back, “Fetch some dry branches and burn them to ashes!”

“Oh, okay!”

Ye Jin didn’t know what Lin Ran wanted to do, but she still agreed and ran away.

At the same time, Lin Ran placed his right hand on the young man’s chest and took a deep breath to focus. Then, he released a few strands of internal energy from his palm and began to help this young man stabilize the internal energy that had gone out of control.

The young man’s meridians were severely damaged, and a huge amount of internal energy rampaged through his body like a ferocious beast. Lin Ran could only use his internal energy to force the uncontrollable internal energy back to its original place.

This method sounded simple, but it was not. If he used too much internal energy, it would cause the other party second harm. However, if he used too little and it was ineffective, even Lin Ran might suffer a backlash.

The entire process was like standing on the edge of a cliff with countless ferocious beasts baring their fangs down below..

Even so, Lin Ran didn’t hesitate at all. It wasn’t that he cared about the life and death of this young man, but that ominous feeling made him very concerned. If he didn’t figure it out, he might not be in the mood to do anything.

After a long time, the young man’s violent internal energy finally stabilized. Lin Ran’s clothes were already drenched in sweat. Large beads of sweat dripped down his pale face and landed on the ground, forming a shallow puddle.

“Lin Ran… are you alright?”

Ye Jin’s voice sounded behind him. Lin Ran turned around and forced a smile. He instructed in a hoarse voice, “Wash his wound with dew and apply wood ash to stop the bleeding… I’m a little tired. I need to rest for a while.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ran fell to the ground. In a daze, he saw Ye Jin running towards him with a cry. Then, his vision darkened and he lost consciousness.

After an unknown period of time, Lin Ran gradually woke up from the faint.

His clothes, which were soaked in sweat, were still a little damp. It felt indescribably uncomfortable to wear it, but this also proved that Lin Ran had not been unconscious for long.

Lin Ran really didn’t expect to be so tired. This tiredness was not only physical, but also spiritual. It was as if he had been running for three days and three nights without sleep. Every part of his body was in pain!

“You’re awake?!”

Ye Jin’s voice came from the side. Lin Ran raised his hand in response. The dazzling sunlight shone down, making Lin Ran subconsciously close his eyes.

Then, Lin Ran felt himself being helped to sit up. Ye Jin said in his ear, “Drink some water first.”

Lin Ran nodded and opened his eyes. He saw a rolled-up leaf brought to his mouth. There was some crystal clear dew on it, but it wasn’t much.

“This is the dew I collected.”

Ye Jin held Lin Ran and whispered with an embarrassed expression, “There was originally a lot of it, but I spilled some on the way…”

“It’s fine. I’m not too thirsty.”

Lin Ran smiled and raised his head to drink the dew. The refreshing dew mixed with the faint fragrance of grass made him feel much better.

Lin Ran smacked his lips and looked at the young man who was still lying in the grass. “How is he?”

“He woke up once just now, but he fainted again after a while.”

Ye Jin sighed and replied helplessly. Then, she suddenly thought of something and slapped her forehead. “By the way, he asked me to tell you something.”

“What is it?”

“Town Guardian Liu is in danger. Hurry up and save her.”

Lin Ran frowned slightly when he heard this. If this young man was really one of those “cocoons”, the “Town Guardian Liu” should be referring to Liu Ruxi.

However, the last time he met Liu Ruxi, if not for Xuan Wushang, or rather, Chen Tianqi, who arrived in time, Liu Ruxi would definitely have died under his sword. If this person was from Nanjiang Town, it was impossible for him not to know about this. Then why would he come to ask him for help? Wasn’t this young man afraid that Liu Ruxi would be killed by him?

After thinking for a while to avail, Lin Ran couldn’t be bothered to waste any more energy. He gritted his teeth and stood up to walk to the unconscious young man. He patted him and shouted softly, “Hey! Wake up! I’m Lin Ran. I have something to ask you!”

The young man did not respond. Lin Ran pursed his lips and thought for a moment. Suddenly, he raised his hand and slapped the young man twice.

After two slaps, as two handprints slowly appeared on the young man’s face, his tightly shut eyes finally opened.
