"Have you finally awakened?" Meda Ponce looked at Bidegla, who had opened his eyes, with a face full of surprise and no trace of drowsiness.

"How long have I been asleep?" Bidegla asked, trying to sit up, but his arm was already bandaged by Meda Ponce, making it impossible for him to do so.

"Let me help you up." Seeing Bidegla trying to get up, Meda Ponce quickly rubbed her slightly sore eyes and helped Bidegla up from the ground.

"Enough, don't rush. First, tell me how long I've been asleep."

"You've been unconscious for a total of two days, from the time you fell until now," Meda Ponce said after thinking for a moment.

"Two days?" Upon hearing her words, Bidegla was taken aback. To have slept for two days in this place and still be alive truly seemed like a miracle.

But as if she could read Bidegla's thoughts, Meda Ponce quickly shook her head and said, "Things are not as you think. Let me tell you."

"What isn't as I think?" Bidegla let Meda Ponce continue speaking, looking at her with a puzzled expression.

"Someone saved us," Meda Ponce seemed to remember something, her face showing a shocked expression, and then slowly said, "When you collapsed, I thought you were dead, but at that moment, someone suddenly descended from the sky."

As she said this, her voice stopped, as if still immersed in the shock of that scene. It was something she had never seen before - a person actually descending from the sky, as if capable of flight. And she felt an unprecedented pressure emanating from that person.

Bidegla had already been destined to die, his breath almost completely dissipated. It was this person in black who reached out and pulled him back from the brink of death.

And the way he saved Bidegla was even more terrifying than Bidegla's rescue of ToranVicky at the time. His entire body was radiating light, as if a miracle had occurred.

Of course, since he arrived, the soldier who had been fighting with Meda Ponce was scared to death and didn't dare to stay for a moment. He fled in panic, and even in these two days, it was this man in black who had been sitting here, and no one dared to provoke them.

Some people thought that this man in black was showing off, but when they rushed up, they vomited blood and flew out without even knowing how the other person had acted.

It was only because this man in black had no intention of killing that those people had not all become dead.

Finally, this man in black said, "He will probably wake up in a few hours."

Then he leaped away, and Meda Ponce was not able to see him again. In these two days, this man in black exuded a cold aura at all times, and Meda Ponce was too frightened to even breathe, let alone ask who he was.

So until now, Meda Ponce still didn't know who this man in black really was. She only knew that if this man hadn't suddenly appeared, she and Bidegla would probably have died here, and ToranVicky, who was still unconscious from his injuries, would have died as well.

A man in black saved three lives in an instant, and it was ridiculous that they didn't even know who he was.

"Do you know who this person is?" After listening to Meda Ponce, Bidegla couldn't help but frown. In the City of Bamboo, he still believed that his senior brother or master would come to save him, but here, he didn't know anyone. Who would come to save him?

"I don't know," Meda Ponce shook her head and said, "He's completely cold and wears a black hood, so I couldn't see his face."

"At this point," Meda Ponce seemed to recall something and looked at Bidegla, saying, "I thought you were going to die last time, it really scared me."

As she spoke, her eyes were still a little red, and her heart was still racing as she clutched her chest.

Bidegla almost died, and ToranVicky also almost died.

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

"By the way, how are you feeling now? Any lingering pain?" Meda Ponce inquired, showing concern.

"Don't worry, I won't die." Although being cared for by a beautiful woman is a very nice thing, Bidegla currently felt completely powerless, clearly having been saved by the other person, but not helped to recover strength.

So, at the moment, he was not in the mood to banter with Meda Ponce. He just wanted to restore his strength.

Being without strength could lead to a recurrence of the previous situation. Last time, Bidegla could truly feel the approach of death, which was a despairing, helpless, and bewildering emotion.

He thought he was going to die, but since he is now alive, he absolutely will not allow the same thing to happen again.

At any time, he must preserve his own strength. This time he was just too careless. For the sake of saving ToranVicky, he almost sacrificed his life.

"You should pay attention to the surroundings, I need to regain my strength," Bidegla said, then closed his eyes and began to practice the Nine Revolutions.

"Alright." Knowing that Bidegla was currently very weak, Meda Ponce did not ask any more questions, but instead kept her eyes wide open, constantly watching the surroundings.

However, a day passed, and there was not a single sound in the vicinity. The silence was somewhat eerie. Without any disturbance for a day, Bidegla recovered extremely quickly. Although he had not fully recovered, he was already much stronger than the previous few days.

"Do you need to rest?" Bidegla glanced at Meda Ponce, asking calmly.

"I don't need to rest," Meda Ponce shook her head, then remembered something and hurriedly said, "Can you please check on Toran for me? She has not woken up since that day, I'm afraid something might be wrong with her."

"She's still not awake?" Upon hearing her words, Bidegla was slightly surprised.

Approaching ToranVicky, Bidegla used his insight to examine her, and saw that her injuries had been completely healed, even her heart had already resumed beating, but she still had not woken up, which was quite strange.

"Let me see." Bidegla bent down, and his fingers quickly landed on several key acupoints on ToranVicky's body.

Under the influence of Bidegla's touch, ToranVicky's body began to tremble slightly, then slowly opened her eyes.

"You're finally awake." Seeing ToranVicky open her eyes, Meda Ponce's face also showed a pleasant surprise. She quickly helped ToranVicky up from the ground and asked with concern, "Toran, do you feel any better now?"

"Where are we?" ToranVicky's voice was full of confusion as she looked around, finally resting her gaze on her friend, Meda Ponce.

"We are..." Meda Ponce explained to ToranVicky, who then showed a grateful expression to Bidegla.

This time, Bidegla almost sacrificed his life to save her. If it weren't for the appearance of the man in black, Bidegla would have already sacrificed himself, and that price was too great.

"An eye for an eye, such a debt of gratitude, ToranVicky had no idea how to repay it.

"Thank you." ToranVicky found herself unable to say much, only managing to utter those words.

"No need to thank me, I only saved you because I accepted your conditions. It's my own lack of ability, not your fault." Bidegla waved his hand, causing Meda Ponce's face to turn red instantly.

Her first kiss still owed to Bidegla.

"By the way, you've been unconscious for so many days, you must be hungry. Hurry and eat something." In order to avoid the issue, Meda Ponce hurriedly spoke.

But when she finally opened the military ration pack, her face froze, because there were only three portions of food left, and nothing more.

They had been here for four days, and if both of them had not been unconscious, their food would have run out long ago.

But now both Bidegla and ToranVicky had awakened, and the food was definitely not enough.

"Open them all, let each of us have some." Seeing the remaining food, Bidegla said.

"But..." Meda Ponce's tone faltered, not knowing how they would survive the next few days.

"Don't worry, once we finish eating, we'll go out and find more food. If others want to rob us, why can't we rob them?" Bidegla's face revealed a hint of coldness. He almost died here this time, so he understood a truth: kindness to others does not guarantee their kindness in return. In that case, what did he have to worry about?

If others wanted him dead, why couldn't he make others die? Who doesn't want to live?

"Don't worry, eat. If you're worried about not having food in the coming days, you can always eat my flesh." Bidegla said calmly, making Meda Ponce shake her head hurriedly.

Even if she starved to death here, she would never eat human flesh, because doing so would make her no different from an animal.

But now she was indeed hungry. Since Bidegla lost consciousness, she had only eaten once. Her stomach was growling now.

If she was like this, how would Bidegla and ToranVicky, who hadn't eaten anything for so long, fare?

So in the end, she opened all the food rations, giving each person a portion.

No matter how the time passed after that, at least they filled their bellies with food for now.

After wolfing down their meal, the three portions of food were almost gone in less than a minute. It was far from enough, barely enough to stave off hunger.

"Can you walk on your own?" Bidegla turned his gaze to ToranVicky, causing her to startle slightly, then she got up from the ground and said, "Don't worry about me, I'm fine."

"I'm not worried about you, I'm just afraid you'll slow me down." Bidegla spoke without mercy, causing ToranVicky's face to instantly turn red.

But Bidegla's words did make sense. If it weren't for him, ToranVicky would have perished long ago, so she really had no right to argue back now, and could only stand here awkwardly.

"Bidegla, what are you planning to do, tell us." Seeing the atmosphere grow cold, Meda Ponce hurriedly stepped in to smooth things over.

"There's nothing to say, if you want to survive, come with me. If you want to starve, stay here." After speaking, Bidegla didn't even take his equipment bag, just stood up and walked away."
