"Insect repellent?" Dean was a little surprised. He did not expect her to carry something like this. He took a look and asked, "Is it effective?"
"It should be. Try it." Haisha showed a smile on her pale face, like a light suddenly blooming in the darkness.
Dean gazed fascinatedly, but soon the screeching sounds of the insects brought him back to reality. He quickly took the insect repellent and unscrewed the bottle cap, and a strange sulfur-like smell immediately a.s.saulted his nose.
He poured some of the powder into his hand and threw them onto the insects that broke through the circle of flames.
The powder was pouring like snow.
Dean stared at the insects intently. They were restless and screeching in panic as if meeting a scary thing, then scattered in disarray.
Dean was overjoyed. He did not expect the insect repellent to be so effective. He immediately poured the powder around the circle of flames, preventing the insects from breaking through, then poured some into his hand, mixed it with the dust on the ground, and threw it toward the swarm.
The insects scattered in disarray and the swarm's formation became
chaotic, like a black cloth that was suddenly torn into pieces.
Dean breathed a sigh of relief. He closed the bottle and handed it back to Haisha, saying with a smile, "It's really a big help."
Haisha reached her hand out and put the bottle back into her pocket. She smiled and said, "This time I have to thank you, otherwi— Cough! Cough! "
Her cheeks bulged slightly, and she suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood onto the chair.
Dean was surprised. He hurriedly approached her and said, "Are you okay? You should lie down and rest."
After Haisha coughed up blood, her face became paler. She shook her head slightly and said weakly, "It's okay. The poison is too deep and already penetrated into my internal organs. I can't hold it anymore. You'd better get out of here or you'll die with me."
Dean's heart sank, and he could not help but look at her pocket and said, "Do you have any detoxification powder? You can try to use it to delay the poison. Tell me where the Wasteland headquarters is. I can fly and bring you to the headquarters."
"The headquarters is too far from here." Haisha shook
shook her head slightly. "It's in the deepest boundary of the Red Wasteland. Even if you can fly, it will take a lot of time. Besides, flying in the Red Wasteland is very dangerous. It's not like the Hunter area near the wall where the flying monsters are rare. In this Wasteland, the toughest monsters are the flying monsters. If it's not necessary, you shouldn't fly. It's likely to attract some monsters' attention."
Dean was taken aback, and he suddenly thought of the Flying Dragon that he had seen in the Giant Wall. Although the Flying Dragon did not hurt people, it was also a flying monster. Since there was a Flying Dragon, there should be other flying monsters. It was just that he had never seen one in the Hunter area, which led him to overlook this point. But here was the farthest area from the Giant Wall, the undeveloped radiation area — the Wasteland. Naturally, any kind of monster existed.
"Did you come here alone?" Dean thought for a moment and asked, "You came here to chase the Wing Family's man, didn't you bring your teammates with you?"
"Yes." Haisha's corners of the mouth slightly moved, and she said, "It's too slow to search for him by myself, so I brought two search teams. They're nearby, but we mustn't be seen by them. Otherwise, they'll kill us the moment they know about my current condition."
"How could it be!" Dean was surprised, but he immediately thought of something, and his countenance changed. "Are they Hailey's people?"
Haisha was silent for a moment, rubbing her head gently and saying, "This is one of the reasons. Even if they're not her people, they won't let go of this opportunity. Once they kill me, they'll get my Magic Weapon. This Magic Weapon can only be used by our Dragon Family's pure descendant. They can hand it over to the Wing Family or the Rock Family and take refuge in them, or give it to Hailey in exchange for status and strength. Many years ago, Hailey publicly spread the Magic Weapon news to create trouble for me.
for me. It's a well-known thing."
Dean scowled. Anger welled up in his heart. "Aren't you the Dragon Family's Saint and they're your subordinates? How could they do this to you? Moreover, Hailey has been opposing you for years, why don't you get rid of her earlier?!"
"The people here are eager to return into the wall and rest. The lengthy battle has long made them lose their loyalty and humanity." Haisha glanced at Dean. Her eyes were dim. "I promised to protect Hailey until she grows up, so—"
Dean interrupted her, saying with anger, "Promise?! Who did you promise? Is it your father?!"
Haisha shook her head slightly, reluctant to say this further. She suddenly grimaced, and blood trickled down the corner of her mouth. She lifted her hand and wiped it off, then took a deep breath and said to Dean, "I can't hold any longer. My blood will attract high-level monsters. Go quickly, you'll die if you stay here. I don't want to die dragging you along with me..."
Her voice gradually weakened, and finally, she was unconscious again. Her body fell softly.
Dean immediately supported her in his arms. He looked at the wound on her back and found that the color of the gauze was somewhat black because the poisonous blood was seeping out. The wound could not heal under the corrosive poisonous blood.
His face changed. As Haisha said, the poison had already penetrated too deeply. She was doomed unless she was given the best treatment right away. treatment right away.
"d.a.m.n!" Dean was angry. Angry at the current cruel situation, and even more angry at his inability to change the situation. He gritted his teeth and turned to look outside the subway. The smell of the insect repellent had spread and frightened the swarm away.
However, the smell of Haisha's blood drifted out once again. It was estimated that it would not be long before a new monster was attracted.
He clenched his fist and angrily hit the seat, leaving a fist mark. He looked at the unconscious Haisha, and his eyes flashed with a tinge of struggle. In this situation, the most appropriate choice would be to abandon her. But in his heart, he felt that once he did, he would regret this his whole life. She had saved him several times, and he had yet to repay her.
Except for his parents and elder sister, as well as his foster parents, he never owed anyone a kindness. Even his relations.h.i.+p with Old Fulin was only a friends.h.i.+p and partners.h.i.+p. But Haisha was different. She helped him sincerely without any attempt to get a repayment from him!
"d.a.m.n! d.a.m.n! d.a.m.n!!"
He was irritated.
He paced back and forth in the carriage, and suddenly, his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of an object on the ground.
