Jacob had already sensed the girl's serious injuries. She was merely pretending to be strong. As soon as Jacob said that, the girl paled and spewed a fountain of fresh blood before falling backward.
Instantly, Jacob caught her in his arms and channeled his spiritual energy into her body. It took a moment before the girl slowly opened her eyes and found herself lying in Jacob's embrace. She quickly got up, pulling away from him.
"What did you do to me?" Fear was written all over her face.
"If I hadn't saved you, you'd have died here long ago," Jacob replied in frustration.
The girl examined her body and indeed felt much better. Still, she looked warily at Jacob and asked, "Why did you save me? We don't know each other, and I even hurt your people. Even if you saved me, I wouldn't tell you the location of the ice soul fragment, so just give up."
