It hurts.

It hurts.

It hurts so much.

In the excruciating pain, Jiang Li suddenly opened his eyes.

"Where... am I?"

Under the azure sky, an endless grassland stretched out before Jiang Li as he lay there.

"Hey? You're awake."

A clear voice came from not far away.

A few seconds later, a cute girl with a yellow ponytail appeared in Jiang Li's view.

"We were on a mission nearby when we saw you lying on the grass, covered in injuries."

The girl flashed a healing smile.

Hiss—

A sharp pain surged in his abdomen, and Jiang Li suddenly remembered what had happened before.

In a desperate situation, he had taken a desperate gamble and used a random teleportation charm to transport himself to any location within a radius of twenty thousand miles.

He had obtained this teleportation charm as a system reward when he became the first in the Tenglong Ranking Battle.

At that time, he had never expected to use it, but here he was, Jiang Li couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Thank you for saving me," Jiang Li said to the girl, glancing at the bandages on his abdomen.

"You should indeed thank her. If it weren't for you coincidentally encountering this naive girl with the healing talent, you might have been eaten by some exotic beast. And thanks to you, our team hasn't made any progress for three days."

A somewhat impatient voice came from the other side.

Jiang Li wanted to turn his head to see who was speaking, but the intense pain all over his body made it impossible, so he had to give up.

"Awai, what are you saying! It's only right to help someone in need!" The girl sounded a bit angry, then looked at Jiang Li again.

"Don't be angry. Awai is sharp-tongued but kind-hearted. It was him who carried you here."

Jiang Li nodded.

"Thank you, Awai."

"Hmph, as long as you get better soon and don't delay our mission, I'll be grateful," Awai said.

Jiang Li smiled wryly at his words. He couldn't blame others for their attitude. Anyone encountering such a burden while doing a mission outside the safe zone would have some complaints.

On the contrary, Jiang Li was very grateful to them. In the wilderness, incidents of killing and robbing were not uncommon. The fact that they could save him meant that this favor had to be repaid.

"Rest a little longer, and when Ajie returns from hunting, we'll have dinner together," the girl said to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li nodded and silently activated the Immortal Ascension Scripture to heal his injuries.

"System, where did the teleportation take me?" Jiang Li silently asked the system.

[Ding, congratulations, host. You encountered a rare spatial turbulence. Due to the turbulence, the teleportation distance far exceeded 20,000 kilometers. You are currently outside the safe zone of Heizhou Mengcheng.]

"..." Jiang Li was speechless.

Heizhou was known to him, and it was extremely far from Jiangdongzhou.

It was the outermost and most dangerous area of the Human Alliance, with a much larger number and stronger exotic beasts than the other five states.

If he remembered correctly, Mengcheng should be one of the outermost cities in Heizhou.

Jiang Li pondered silently and felt relieved at the same time.

Although the Sun family was powerful, they probably wouldn't expect him to end up in such a place.

Three hours later, under the powerful recovery of the Immortal Ascension Scripture, Jiang Li's injuries had healed by about half.

At this moment, the person called Ajie also returned.

Ajie was slightly plump and had a slightly milder temperament than Awai. Seeing Jiang Li awake, he greeted him first.

Then, everyone began to prepare food.

Seeing this, Jiang Li got up to help.

"Your injuries haven't healed yet. Rest quickly. We can handle this," the girl with the ponytail advised Jiang Li.

"It's okay. I've always had a stronger recovery ability than ordinary people. Look, I'm fine running around now."

After a demonstration by Jiang Li, the girl reluctantly allowed him to help.

With the efforts of the four, the food was soon ready.

The group gathered around a bonfire and began to eat the roasted rabbit.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm called Ailin, you can call me Arin," Ailin smiled and introduced herself to Jiang Li.

"I'm Chen Xiang, nice to meet you," Jiang Li considered for a moment and chose the name registered at the Freelancer's Guild. Although the Sun family wouldn't expect him to be here, it was another matter if he exposed himself.

Then Jiang Li turned his gaze to the other two.

"I'm Ajie, that's my name. He's called Awai."

The plump Ajie said to Jiang Li.

Although curious as to why these two didn't have surnames, Jiang Li tactfully refrained from asking further.

The four of them enjoyed the roasted rabbit in harmony.
