Immortal Martial God

Chapter 186 Little Girl

Xiang Nan fiercely imprinted Luo Fei's request in his heart.

Luo Fei, a soldier who fears death for the sake of his country and for the sake of the people, is worthy of respect. If they fight on the frontlines, their families will naturally receive the protection they deserve.

He didn't dare to say anything else. At least in the Haoran Sect, Xiang Nan could still take care of Luo Yuan, although he didn't know if Luo Yuan was willing to be taken care of.

However, at this moment, Xiang Nan had a deeper understanding of the Luo Clan.

The Border Defense City was incomparably huge, even larger than Haotian City. Not only were there a large number of soldiers stationed inside, there were also many civilians who were willing to live here.

Xiang Nan followed the mission scroll and went to look for the people from the Cavalry Sect. He was also thinking in his heart.

Why did the Heavenly Devil Cult's people come to attack Border City for no reason? What good would this do to the Heavenly Devil Cult?

They shouldn't be stuffed to the brim, intentionally going against the Haotian Army, right? One had to know that their followers had died far more than the border guards.

Later, Xiang Nan found a cavalry disciple in a simple but crude inn.

There were only a dozen or so of these disciples, and their cultivation was only at the ninth level of the Xiantian realm. When Xiang Nan revealed his intentions, those disciples immediately became excited.

"Are you really a senior brother of the Haoran Sect?" An Iron Cavalry Sect disciple excitedly grabbed Xiang Nan's hand and said, "I didn't expect that the Nature Sect would really accept our request."

"Don't get excited. Tell me the cause and effect of this." Xiang Nan said straightforwardly.

Only then did the disciple reveal his original identity.

The reason why the Cavalry Sect had come to the Northern Region to carry out this mission was not because they were courting death, but because the Cavalry Sect's sect location was within the Northern Region. The reason why they had gone to the distant Wolong Province to recruit disciples back then.

The reason for that was because a large number of second-and third-grade sects had already split up the interior. As a third-grade sect, the Iron Cavalry Sect could only go to the border to recruit disciples.

This time, there were twenty-five disciples. They went to the Primordial Swamp to train, but somehow, they were separated halfway. Up until today, the other eleven disciples hadn't returned.

The Primordial Swamp was very large, so it would be relatively safe if they didn't explore further.

"Have you tried signaling?" Xiang Nan asked.

The disciple said, "Yes, I did. The messenger flew directly into the Primordial Swamp, but he never flew out."

Xiang Nan frowned and pondered. Since the messenger could still fly in, it meant that the eleven disciples should be alive. Otherwise, the messenger would not have acted.

But why didn't there be an echo?

"Where was the last time you were separated?" Xiang Nan asked.

The disciple hurriedly took out the map and pointed at it, "It's right here. We got lost the moment we entered. After we dispersed, our team walked for more than twenty days before coming out."

"It's not clear where the other missing martial brothers are."

"I only know where they got separated." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "Wait here. Nobody leaves without my orders."

With that, Xiang Nan took the map and set off immediately.

The Primordial Swamp was located thousands of kilometers southeast of Border City, and its area was more than ten times larger than the Black Sharp Demon Forest.

As for the places where cavalry disciples were scattered, they were indeed in the most marginal areas. It was very safe there, and there were even many towns and cities built by warriors, hunters, and herb gatherers.

As soon as Xiang Nan arrived at the edge of the Primordial Swamp, he saw the dense demonic aura in the sky that had not dispersed for a long time.

"Little Sparrow, don't fly around here. It's very dangerous." Xiang Nan greeted him and entered the swamp.

The Primordial Swamp had been developed into a large area by the martial artists, with a total of five entrances.

Xiang Nan was the entrance to the far left, but not far away, he suddenly found a person lying in the snow.

When he approached, he saw a little girl around seven or eight years old.

Most of the little girl's body was already covered in snow. Her face was pale and her lips were frozen purple.

Xiang Nan probed her and found that she was still breathing. He hurriedly hugged her in his arms and placed his left hand on her chest, injecting a steady stream of Vast Heaven Pure Elemental Technique into her chest.

In about an incense stick of time, the little girl's face finally turned red.

Xiang Nan heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Why did such a young child come here? Fortunately, he met me. Otherwise, he would have died here."

Xiang Nan did not know where her home was. Since she had appeared here, she should be from a certain town on the edge of the primordial swamp.

However, not long after she left, the little girl's face turned cold again, and her entire body became frighteningly cold.

"What's going on?" Xiang Nan frowned and once again channeled pure elemental energy to the little girl.

Just like that, Xiang Nan stopped for more than ten times to channel pure elemental energy to her. Every time it seemed like he would be rescued, her entire body would freeze again in less than a meal's time.

Xiang Nan felt that it was very strange. This little girl's symptoms looked quite similar to Little Yu'er's, but after careful examination, they were completely different.

Little Yu'er was born with a body chill, which was a disease. The little girl in her arms did not seem to be sick. Her Yin chill came from her meridians.

"Strange" Xiang Nan could not understand what was going on with this little girl.

But at this moment, Xiang Nan's heart ached for her. Thinking about it, it should be her parents who discovered that she had an "incurable disease". No matter what, she couldn't cure it, so they ruthlessly threw the child away.

Right at this moment, the little girl's face turned red. She opened her eyes, a pair of pitch-black eyes that looked like a beautiful night sky.

"Don't be afraid. With me here, I won't let you die." Xiang Nan patted the little girl's chest and said, "When we get to the front town, big brother will find you some medicine to cook and eat. It will be fine."

When the little girl saw Xiang Nan's face, a strange look appeared in her eyes. However, the look in her eyes quickly disappeared.

A nameless town appeared in front of them. It was built by the herb gatherers and demonic beast hunters. This place was more than 500 miles away from where the Cavalry Sect disciples had been separated.

Xiang Nan did not know much about medicine, so he asked an alchemist in the town.

The Pharmacist wiped away the little girl's pulse for a long time, but he didn't say why. He only frowned repeatedly.

"Can't you tell?" Xiang Nan asked.

The alchemist said, "Although I am only a alchemist, I am still skilled in medicine. However, this child … doesn't seem to be ill."

Sure enough! Xiang Nan's heart sank, just like his own judgment.

"How about this, I have a few high-quality thousand-year-old spirit ginseng here. Buy some decoction for this child to drink and see if it will help."

Spirit ginseng is a kind of ginseng, just like the difference between spirit herbs and herbs. Spirit ginseng contains rich but gentle medicinal properties, and the thousand-year-old spirit ginseng has excellent nourishing effects on the human body. Of course, its value is also very expensive.

This item already belonged to the Third Grade Spirit Grass. Xiang Nan spent a total of 100,000 gold coins to buy two of them.

Originally, he intended to leave immediately, but seeing that the girl's health was getting worse and worse, he prepared to stop for a night.

After renting a random thatched cottage, Xiang Nan squatted on the pot table and cooked the spirit ginseng soup before feeding it to the little girl bit by bit.
