Honkai Impact: Did you meet the First Herrscher when you first arrived? !

Venturing deep into the island under the cover of night was inherently risky, but for the three of them, the known dangers had no impact whatsoever.

It only took a little effort; after clearing out some of the assassins in the forest, the three of them finally found a dirt road.

Cheng Ling Shuang and Su Mei were the ones who took action, while Li Ming took care of the little girl who had fainted from hunger because she hadn't eaten for too long. Fortunately, they arrived at Li Island today; if they had waited a few more days, the little girl would probably have been rotting by now.

Yes, Li Ming discovered that this little girl had a very good tolerance for Honkai energy. Although the concentration of Honkai energy was not very high due to the group of zombies wandering around, living in such a place for many years would inevitably lead to Honkai disease like that of Sovia and Elizabeth.

It could be psoriasis, or it could be the Black Death; it all depends on what the source of the Honkai energy affecting this island is.

As you venture deeper into the island, the scattered houses gradually begin to appear in denser clusters.

However, these houses were still thatched houses and mud-brick houses.

Su Mei reached out and ran her hand across the wall beside her; there were five cracks on it.

It directly broke through the nearly half-foot-thick mud bricks.

"Uncle-Master, it seems that those who fell into demonic possession must have escaped from here."

Inside the earthen house, iron chains were still hanging, with the chain lock broken off in the middle, looking like traces of acid corrosion.

"...Master Uncle, Senior Sister Su, over here!"

Cheng Ling Shuang didn't care about that. Being bold, she ran straight into a room. As for how she rushed in...

【Plasma Gun】Just find a house, aim it, and flick your wrist.

With a flick of his wrist, he pierced through the room in front of him.

What walls, what mud bricks? Before the [Plasma Gun] flashing with electric light, they are all just mud bricks and tiles.

This casual gesture led Su Mei to a new discovery, which is why she called Li Ming and Su Mei over.

"This is……"

Su Mei and Li Ming exchanged a glance. Inside the room was a person, disheveled, who was faintly sobbing. Both his feet and hands were bound with the same iron chains as those of the corpses.

However, when Cheng Ling Shuang broke into the house, she only scared people into hiding in a corner.

I couldn't see the person's face clearly, but I could vaguely hear her saying, "I don't know... it wasn't me, I'm sorry, Mother, I'm so sorry..."

Like the child, she was dressed in coarse linen clothes, which made Li Ming and Su Mei wonder if the little girl had run away from here.

However, the little girl who was being carried on Li Ming's back slowly woke up and let out a soft moan, "Mother..."

This sound seemed to provoke the woman. She was still sobbing, but like a startled witch, she suddenly sprang up and lunged at the three of them, her body, which had been curled up in the corner, suddenly leaping several meters away. The iron chains binding her were taut and straight.

Only then could the three of them clearly see the withered arms, the eyes that faintly glowed red, and the face with patterns eroded by Honkai energy through the messy hair.

The dense lines covering his face, appearing and disappearing like a swimming dragon.

"My child! Give me back my child!"

Perhaps because they heard the voice of their own child, a powerful force burst forth from the woman's body, and Su Mei and Cheng Ling Shuang both raised their weapons to block in front of them.

However, Li Ming simply patted their shoulders, signaling them to move aside, and then deliberately carried the girl forward a little.

"Madam, your child is right here, but are you going to face your child like this?"

Li Ming wasn't sure how much sanity the woman in front of him had left, but judging from her first reaction and the symptoms she was experiencing, the suppressants couldn't save her.

She was in the exact same situation as Qin Baijiang, except that she had better resistance than Qin Baijiang. Judging from the woman's physical condition, it was obvious that her muscles had now dissipated.

It can be said that it is completely skin and bones, and its survival is entirely due to the Honkai energy in its body.

The body is unwilling to die like this, so whether it's chemical energy or Honkai energy, as long as it can keep living, it's fine.

Of course, this also shows that women have good resistance to Honkai energy; otherwise, they would have become undead warriors wandering the forest long ago.

"Child, child..."

The woman ignored Li Ming's words and cautiously approached the little girl, but when she was a foot away from Li Ming, she suddenly stopped.

Li Ming was able to move forward a little, which made the woman quickly step back, afraid of bumping into the child.

Li Ming naturally took all of this into account, which gave him confidence. He then casually sat down on the ground, placed the little girl on the bed next to him, swept up the messy straw and earthen bed, and burned it to kill all the fleas and bedbugs. When Bi Yan appeared, the woman was so startled that she was about to attack.

However, upon seeing Li Ming's actions, she only sobbed softly. Li Ming looked at her and said, "Madam, you don't want your child to starve to death here, do you?"

Li Ming's tone and actions make him seem nothing like someone from Mount Taixu. His tone is more like that of a thug from some remote mountain village, and his demeanor suggests he wants to kidnap someone and make them his concubine.

Come to think of it, my uncle-master is indeed unmarried, so this isn't a maidservant, but a bandit's wife?

However, Li Ming's words did calm the woman down; at the very least, she remained seated and didn't move.

"Madam, you know this child hasn't eaten for two or three days, right?"

"Woooooooo..."

The only response Li Ming received was sobbing, which left him somewhat confused. However, Li Ming wasn't without a way to communicate.

"Just nod or shake your head when I say something."

"Waaaaah, my child..."

Regardless of whether she understood or not, Li Ming continued, "We are disciples of the Crimson Kite Immortal, sent down the mountain to slay demons and monsters. We came here to kill that dragon, but we've discovered that the people on this island seem to be having problems. Right now, we've only found your child, so we'll take her with us. Do you agree?"

Li Ming then switched to a more respectful tone, since he was going to leave with the child, which was both a responsibility and a burden, and naturally required the child's mother's consent.

"Waaah, waaah..."

After hearing Li Ming's words, the woman nodded frantically, and Li Ming stood up and put the little girl back on his back. "Let's go, everything's alright now."

But before leaving, he paused, "By the way, what's this girl's name?"

"Su...Su Yi, Qin Su Yi, sob sob sob..."

The sobbing faded into the wind. Li Ming glanced back and saw the surging blue flames igniting the night.
