nLilian looked at Mike lying quietly on the grass.

n

nShe knew that without Mike’s help, she would not have been able to resist such a terrible fall.

n

nThere would have only been one outcome for her, and that was death!

n

nLilian was in great pain, and her vision was completely blurred by tears. In her grief, she had not noticed that although Mike had fallen into the deep pit on the ground, there was no blood in his body.

n

nHowever, she still mustered up the courage to touch Mike’s side.

n

nFor her, this environment was extremely strange. No matter what though, she did not want to let her benefactor who had saved her die in this strange wilderness.

n

nI must bring Mike back!

n

nAs soon as this idea came to her mind, Lilian immediately lifted Mike out of the pit.

n

nHot?

n

n

n

nAfter touching Mike’s hand, Lilian’s eyes suddenly appeared to be a little dazed.

n

nCould it be…

n

nAs if she had thought of a life-saving method, Lilian suddenly put her ear to Mike’s chest and listened.

n

nLilian’s face quickly blossomed into a smile, as two lines of hot tears flowed down from her beautiful eyes.

n

nThere was a sound.

n

nHis heart was still beating.

n

nHe was still alive!

n

nAfter she could not feel Mike’s heartbeat, Lilian hugged Mike tightly in her arms. She felt extremely grateful after almost losing Mike.

n

nFor a moment, a mixture of sadness and joy appeared on Lilian’s face.

n

nLilian could not even discern whether she was crying or smiling. She rubbed her red eyes, but she felt extremely moved even within this tearful expression.

n

nAt that moment, Mike frowned. In his unconscious state, he seemed to have come to a soft and gentle place, which made him feel a little suffocated.

n

nHe slowly opened his eyes. What he saw was a towering snowy-white figure, as the unique fragrance of a young girl lingered at the tip of his nose!

n

nHmm?

n

nWhat was that?

n

nWhile Mike was feeling extremely surprised, his eyes subconsciously met the young girl’s concerned gaze.

n

nAh!

n

nFeeling Mike’s burning gaze, Lilian immediately shouted shyly and tried to push Mike away from her chest.

n

nHowever, she worried that pushing Mike away would hurt him again, so she could only use her small hands to cover her blushing face.

n

n“Lilian?”

n

nMike also realized that both of their current positions were somewhat ambiguous, but he quickly understood what had happened between the two of them.

n

nHe quickly extricated himself from Lilian’s fragrant embrace and in his confusion, began to speak.

n

n“Mike, you’re awake?”

n

nSeeing that Mike not only could speak but also move, Lilian suddenly felt as wonderful as if she had come out of hell and gone to heaven. However, after Mike left her arms, she felt an inexplicable sense of loss.

n

nAt the same time, she also said, “Mike, are you really okay?”

n

n“I’m fine.”

n

nMike stretched and said.

n

nConcerned that she would not believe him, she twisted her neck and walked a few steps in front of her.

n

nUpon seeing this, Lilian’s heart was full of shock!

n

nFalling from such a high place while bearing the weight of two people at the same time had made her fall faster. However, she felt completely fine. This was completely beyond her understanding.

n

nEven a Fierce Beast with a strong body could not possibly do this!

n

nMike was not bothered about her shock, nor did he know what she was thinking. At the moment, he was more preoccupied with observing the situation around him.

n

nThis was a mountainous plain. Countless mountain slopes and peaks were crisscrossed. Although there were many flowers, plants, and trees here, the atmosphere here was dangerous and desolate.

n

nAt the same time, the howls of Fierce Beasts could be heard from time to time, which made Mike frown.

n

nLilian stood up as well.

n

nShe said gently, “Mike, this is the Hell of Wind and Thunder, which is also the most difficult test of the Trial of Wind and Thunder. Legend has it that this area is both real and illusory. Most importantly, you can’t summon Pet Beasts here.”

n

nUpon hearing this, Mike’s heart suddenly trembled. He immediately tried to summon the Gale Sparrow. As expected, he wasn’t able to.

n

nThey were in this unfamiliar environment, which they knew nothing about. In addition to that, they could not summon their pet. It could be said that this place was very dangerous.

n

nHowever, Mike wasn’t a person who would lower his head and submit to difficulties.

n

nHe had an unyielding tenacity and boldness. Hence, after a short period of surprise, his gaze became determined again.

n

n“If this is one of the assessments in the trial grounds, then there should be a trial area, right? Why are there no instructions here?”

n

nMike asked doubtfully.

n

nLogically speaking, the Wind and Thunder Trial Field was an ancient trial ground. Surely, it would not make such a mistake.

n

n“How about this? Let me go check it out while you rest here.”

n

nLilian carefully pulled him to sit on a grass field.

n

nIn her opinion, whether Mike’s body was fine or not, resting more would still be beneficial to him.

n

nHowever, just as Lilian started exploring a small path, a group of people who were not far away suddenly walked towards her.

n

nThere were ten people in this group. Nine of them looked like hunters. One of them was wearing a mage’s gray robe and held a magic staff in his hand.

n

nThe faces of the nine hunters were painted in black, green, and red. They looked mysterious and scary. They were also wearing animal skins and holding long spears. Their exposed muscles looked dark and rough. It was obvious that they had been hunting for a long time.

n

nThe person in the leader’s robe looked even more mysterious. Their eyes were extremely bright, like falcons!

n

nSeeing this, Lilian immediately exclaimed, “How can there be a magician?!”

n

nAccording to the history books, magicians in this continent had disappeared from the era.

n

nIt was impossible that they still existed.

n

nBut now, a person who looked like a magician had appeared in front of them.

n

nHow could they not be surprised?

n

nWhat made them even more surprised was that this magician was not only black and blue but also a dwarf.

n

nHow could a dwarf become a magician?

n

nMoreover, he had obviously been captured by these hunters.

n

nHowever, when the group of hunters saw Mike and Lilian, they immediately stopped.

n

nA ferocious-looking big man spotted Lilian beside Mike. His eyes immediately erupted with a bright light, like a dark light of a vicious wolf!

n

n“Hey, boss, come quickly and take a look. This girl is really white!”

n

nThe ferocious-looking big man’s eyes had a lascivious light as he laughed as he spoke to the bald man beside him.

n

nWhen he heard his subordinate’s words, the bald man glanced over. At the same time, saliva dripped down from the corner of his mouth uncontrollably. He laughed sinisterly, “That’s right. I have never seen such a beautiful woman in the mountains. If we give her to the boss, he will definitely die of happiness.”

n

n“Hehe, maybe after the boss is done, he can let us small fries have a good time too!”

n

n“That’s right, that’s right. This is great. Not only did we catch this little brat, but we also caught such a pretty girl. I’m really very excited.”

n

nHearing the excited shouts of his underlings, the bald man in the lead narrowed his eyes. Then, he punched the two underlings beside him, saying in a deep voice, “Are you guys stupid? If we bring her back, the boss will definitely treat her like a treasure. How can we possibly have a share? Since it was our luck to meet this girl, then she will be ours. She was definitely given to us by the heavens.”

n

nHearing this, the blood in the bodies of the underlings behind him began to boil. Their eyes lit up with lust. “Hahaha, the boss is right. The next time I go hunting, I’ll choose to hang out with the boss again.”

n

n

n

n“However, it seems that this girl is very likely from an important family. Maybe she came here by accident.”

n

n“Are you stupid? We don’t even let birds poop here. If we didn’t carry out the mission under the orders of the Lord, who would be willing to come here?”

n

n“Yeah, the Lord of the Empire has agreed to let us go back in three years. It’s already been three years now, and they have long forgotten about us. We are no longer soldiers. Not to mention that this woman is a descendant of an important family, even if she is the King’s Princess, we have to kill her this time!”

n

n“Hahaha, for us nine brothers to be able to spend a night with this beautiful maiden, it would be worth it even if we die. What’s there to be afraid of?”

n

nThese ferocious-looking men were all excited. At the same time, they had lewd expressions on their faces, and even their breathing became a little hot.

n

nHowever, although they were speaking softly, they could be heard by the dwarf magician who had been tied up by them. At the same time, the dwarf magician had a worried expression on his face. “Run quickly. You guys should run quickly! There are bad people here, they want to…”

n

nBefore he could finish his words, the bald man in the lead punched him in the stomach, and he was then suddenly thrown to the ground. “F*ck, if I didn’t consider you as useful, I would have killed you, thief!”

n

nAfter being attacked, the dwarf knelt on the ground and grimaced in pain.

n

nHowever, his voice had been heard by Mike and Lilian.
