Chapter 16 Return to Kaiyuan

"call--"

Holding on to a tree trunk, Enzo gasped for air.

"Chip, detect body condition."

"The test shows that the host is in a weak state, has multiple injuries on the body, and is losing a lot of blood. It is expected to fall into coma in 45 minutes. It is recommended to evacuate to a safe area as soon as possible and receive comprehensive treatment."

The sound of chip machinery rang in his mind. Enzo's face turned pale. After a short rest, he gritted his teeth and stood firm.

At this moment, a beast roar suddenly came from the distant forest.

The sound spread like ripples, causing countless birds to scream and flap their wings into the sky.

"It's the Snow Tooth Beast!" Enzo's expression changed drastically.

The roar of the Snow Tooth beast came from the edge of the forest, but it was not far from this area. If it attacked in this direction, Enzo would be unable to fight against it in his current state, and he would not even be able to escape.

Enzo's eyes suddenly flashed with solemnity, and he immediately took steps and ran towards Kaiyuan City.

The wound on his shoulder continued to ooze blood. Enzo ran with all his strength, but his face became paler and paler. Gradually, his body began to shake unsteadily, and his consciousness gradually became blurred.

"Hold on, we're leaving the Ice Punishment Forest soon." Enzo gritted his teeth and insisted, trying his best to stay awake.

Suddenly there was a noise in the distance, and the firelight flickered in the dim forest. Enzo vaguely heard someone calling his name. He responded loudly with all his strength, but his body could no longer hold on and fell to the ground. .

"Alarm, the host has lost too much blood and is about to fall into a coma!"

His consciousness began to blur a little bit. Before he completely fell into coma, Enzo saw in a trance among the trees in the distance, many cavalrymen running towards him with torches. The man at the front was wearing dark armor, with a tall and majestic figure and a face. But there was an anxious look on his face, which made him feel a little familiar.

"Father." Enzo's lips trembled and he murmured softly.

The next moment, darkness surged in like a tide, and Enzo completely lost consciousness.

After an unknown amount of time, Enzo regained consciousness and slowly opened his eyes.

The sight he saw was a familiar room. Enzo raised his hand to lift the quilt covering him, sat up from the bed with difficulty, and looked at the window. There was a gray mist outside, and a light rose from the horizon in the distance, which seemed to be coming. It's early morning.

"Chip, how long have I been unconscious?" Enzo asked with a frown.

"Host's coma time: 14 hours and 22 minutes."

"Is it already the second day?" Enzo rubbed his head and called out the door, "Is there anyone there?"

Creaking, the door was pushed open.

"Master, you're finally awake." The maid Daisy walked in quickly and saw that Enzo had woken up. She felt like a heavy burden had been lifted and she breathed a long sigh of relief. Then she came to the bed and helped Enzo get out of bed. stand up.

The wounds on his body were covered with bandages, but Enzo was still a little weak from excessive blood loss.

"Did father rescue me?" Enzo asked with a pale face.

"Yes, Master." Daisy replied respectfully.

"What happened yesterday?" Thinking of the two people he met in the Ice Punishment Forest, Enzo couldn't help but continue to ask.

"It was the Iron Scythe family's army that attacked Kaiyuan City!" Daisy seemed to be frightened, and raised her head slightly and said, "Yesterday afternoon, the Iron Scythe family's army gathered outside Kaiyuan City, and a big knight using a giant ax chopped the city into pieces. Opening the door, many cavalrymen from the Iron Scythe family poured in."

Daisy said, with a flash of fear in her eyes.

"After those cavalry entered the city gate, they began to kill civilians crazily and plunder everything. Under the leadership of the great knight, the guarding knights in the city were unable to resist. Fortunately, at this time, two adults, O'Quinn and Tyron, arrived in time. Showed up and took control of the situation.”

"The great knight of the giant ax was injured by Lord Tyron, and the Iron Scythe family's army subsequently withdrew from Kaiyuan City."

"I don't know what happened after that."

After listening to Daisy's narration, Enzo roughly understood what happened yesterday. All this was the plan of the Iron Scythe family. They first used the Snow Tooth beast to lure Enzo and others to the Ice Punishment Forest, taking advantage of the weak defense of the town. opportunity, they gathered their troops and launched a massive attack. Fortunately, O'Quinn and Tyron appeared and took control of the situation.

Afterwards, O'Quinn discovered that his only son was missing, and immediately went to the Ice Punishment Forest to look for him, and happened to save Enzo, who was already seriously injured.

"Where is father? I want to see him." Enzo suddenly said.

"Mr. O'Quinn is in the living room. He also told you to go to the study to meet him when you wake up."

Enzo nodded and regained some strength. With Daisy's help, he left the room and walked towards the living room.

Not long after, Enzo came to the door of the study.

Pushing open the door, Enzo walked in. The furnishings in the study had not changed, but the temperature in the room was warmer than before. In front of the office desk, O'Quinn sat majestically on a chair, with an expressionless face and cold eyes. On the desk were pieces of parchment filled with information.

Seeing Enzo come in, a smile appeared on O'Quinn's face.

"Father," Enzo greeted softly.

"You're here, sit down." O'Quinn pointed to a chair, motioned for Enzo to sit down, and asked in a gentle tone, "How are you? Are you feeling better?"

"The wound is well taken care of and it will probably recover within a few days."

The doctors in the castle treated Enzo's wounds very promptly when he was unconscious. Although he was still very weak due to excessive blood loss, with the knight's physique, he could fully recover with just a few days of rest, and there would be no sequelae. .

"That's good." O'Quinn nodded slightly and said, "I ordered someone to prepare breakfast. Let's eat together."

After saying that, O'Quinn shouted towards the door, and immediately a valet came in pushing a dining cart and quickly put breakfast on the table.

"I happen to be a little hungry." Enzo touched his abdomen without being polite, picked up a bowl of sweet porridge and drank it.

Seeing that Enzo had a good appetite, O'Quinn smiled and brought a plate of steaks. Neither father nor son spoke, quietly enjoying the sumptuous breakfast.

The study was quiet except for the sound of clinking tableware.

Enzo was hungry, so he quickly drank three bowls of sweet porridge in a row, which not only filled his stomach but also restored some physical strength. However, O'Quinn ate very slowly, and only half of a steak was eaten after half a day of chewing. The swallowing movement is also very awkward, as if he is forcing himself to eat even though he is not hungry.

Suddenly, O'Quinn's hands cutting the steak stopped, and an unnatural flush appeared on his face.

"Pfft, cough!"

A mouthful of blood suddenly spurted onto the table. O'Quinn's face turned ferocious in an instant. He pressed his chest hard with his palms. It undulated violently, collapsed deeply and then swelled rapidly, as if it was about to explode. It looked extremely terrifying.
