After shaking her head, Ariel didn't dwell on the problem anymore, and after exhaling, she expressed gratitude with a serious look on her face.

"Anyway, thank you for saving me. If you hadn't saved me, I would have been seriously injured and died there even if I won."

Looking at the girl's solemn look, Bai Bai didn't speak for a while. He looked at her quietly for a moment before looking away, and said with an indifferent expression.

"It's okay. After all, our deal isn't over yet, and I can't watch you die."

Ariel rolled her eyes at his statement and didn't know if he was really just doing it because of the deal or because of something else.

"Okay, okay, anyway, thank you for treating me. I won't say any more. I'll meditate first to restore my mental strength."

"good."

Bai Bai nodded and did not disturb her any more, extinguishing the light ball in his hand. As the darkness inside the carriage returned to darkness, he once again turned his gaze to the depths of the dark forest outside the carriage.

But the girl behind him who said she wanted to meditate was so confused that it was difficult to enter the meditative state.

In the darkness, Ariel kept glancing at his location with the corner of her eye. Her delicate hands that kept holding the corners of her clothes could not rest, showing the uneasiness in the girl's heart.

She seemed to want to reach out and do something, but she didn't have the courage to raise her hand. After struggling for a while, she finally sighed silently, silently recalled the meditation method in her mind and entered a meditative state.

"Don't think too much and just recover your condition."

The sudden words of paleness made the girl who had just entered the meditative state withdraw again. She suddenly opened her eyes, and her beautiful azure eyes seemed to be shining in the darkness.

In the dark carriage, the girl couldn't see the pale figure clearly, and she didn't know his expression. She didn't know that he didn't look back, and was still looking at the dark forest outside, as if what he just said was not what he said.

But after these words, the girl's originally chaotic mood couldn't help but calm down. This feeling of peace and calm allowed her to enter the meditative state without any hindrance this time.

…

It's just that the meditation time this time was far beyond Ariel's imagination.

The average meditation time of a magician is usually about a few hours. After all, although meditation can help restore mental power, the body generally remains motionless.

If the body remains in one position for a long time, it is easy to suffer from some joint diseases. Social workers in certain industries in this world should have a deep understanding of this, right?

Therefore, it is understandable that mages sometimes have poor health.

But this time Ariel meditated for more than a day and a night. During this period, Heilong Xiaobai came to see her several times. If her mental state was not in good condition, he would even think that something was wrong with her.

"Are you sure she's okay?"

Black Dragon Xiaobai once again expressed concern about his long-term meal ticket.

"It's okay. It seems that she has made a mental breakthrough. It seems that the battle between life and death does help a person's growth."

Bai Bai calmly practiced his control over lightning magic, and a ray of lightning twisted around his fingertips. Don't forget, he also wanted to charge his mobile phone with magic.

"Okay, then when will she wake up?"

Black dragon Xiaobai's tone was somewhat resentful. During the past few days when Ariel was unconscious, Baibai had only cooked once. It was obvious that a certain greedy dragon had not eaten for several days.

Although for the legendary dragon clan, not eating is nothing. But who makes him greedy? When he doesn’t have the guts to ask Wanwan to cook, he can’t help but look forward to the girl’s recovery.

"It's almost time. I should be able to wake up today."

He turned around and took a closer look at the girl's almost full mental state, and said pale and calmly.

A few hours later, Ariel finally woke up from her meditation. Her mental strength had returned to its peak again, and she felt refreshed and no longer in the weak state that caused her previous illness.

Perhaps due to her abundant spiritual power, the girl's beautiful blue eyes looked like crystal clear sapphires in the darkness, which looked particularly bright and lively.

Seeing the still dark environment in the carriage, red flames ignited in the girl's eyes. The intermediate spell "Eye of Fire" was released silently, giving Ariel the vision to see through the darkness.

But her fiery gaze swept across the carriage, and no one could see the pale figure. The girl raised her eyebrows unconsciously, secretly muttering "Where did she go?", and then got out of the carriage.

Heilong Xiaobai, who was originally drowsy in the driver's seat, opened his eyes when he noticed someone appeared. He relaxed when he saw that it was him, and he came over with a happy and excited look on his face.

"Ariel! Have you finally recovered?"

Seeing this stupid dragon being so excited and caring about her, Ariel was naturally very happy and nodded with a smile.

"Yes, I feel refreshed. I must have returned to my peak level!"

But while she was talking, she kept looking around with her "eyes of fire", looking for the pale figure.

"Where did the pale go?"

I originally wanted to ask if she was a gluttonous dragon who should cook for him when she woke up. Hearing this, he couldn't help but twitch his mouth. Just as he was about to say something, he heard a pale voice coming from far away.

"I'm here."

A thin man's figure slowly walked out of the darkness not far away. The girl followed the sound, and with the visual enhancement of her fiery eyes, she finally saw that familiar figure. She couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

"where have you been?"

"Just look around."

After walking in, Bai Bai responded casually. He surrounded the recovered girl and looked at her carefully up and down. Ariel felt uncomfortable for a while.

"What are you looking at me doing?"

The girl didn't know what she thought of. She tightened the fur wrapped around her chest, turned her head and said in a strange tone.

"Yes, not only has your condition been fully restored, but you have also made considerable progress in your mental strength. It seems that fighting is very helpful for your growth."

After looking at it, Bai Bai nodded with satisfaction.

"Huh? Really? My mental power has also increased?"

After hearing his words, Ariel's eyes lit up and she said happily. The magician's perception of the natural growth of his own spiritual power is not very clear.

Generally, only specialized magic academies or major powers have Rubik's Cube props that can accurately measure the strength of mental power.

"Yes, you have been meditating all day and all night. If you don't wake up, Xiaobai will be hanging there thinking of you."

Wanwan smiled and shook his head. But before he finished speaking, he covered his mouth and nose in an exaggerated manner. At the same time, he stayed more than three meters away from Ariel and said with disgust on his face.

"Including the three days of coma, you haven't washed yourself for almost five days. The smell of fermentation on your body is really refreshing."

"you……"

Originally, the first half of what Wanwan said made the girl happy, but the second half of his mocking and disgusting words instantly ignited her anger. Her little face turned red and she retorted loudly.

"Shut up! How could this lady be smelly?"

In response to her feeble rebuttal, Bai Wan just pointed out her current state with his eyes. Ariel still retains the beggar outfit she wore after the battle, and the blood stains on her body have not been cleaned. It would be strange if it doesn't stink.

Sensing her own embarrassment, the girl's eyes twitched for a moment, not knowing how to retort.

"I...I want to take a shower!"

"Go, go! If you don't go, you will become a chemical weapon."

Bai Bai fanned the air in front of him and tsked in disgust. He looked like he deserved a beating. Ariel was so angry that she punched him in the chest and said angrily.

"Tell me quickly. Where is the water source near here!"

It was okay for him to be punched by the girl, but he covered his nose and pointed the direction to her. He was almost so angry that the girl punched him again, and in the end he could only rush towards the water source angrily.

…

Soon, after washing, the girl regained her original exquisite beauty. She put on a brand new fiery red mage robe, but this was just ordinary clothes, not magic equipment.

Her long fiery red hair was draped wetly on her back. The blood on her face was washed away, and her cheeks turned white and pretty. She did have the charm of a bathing beauty, but it was just mediocre.

The originally blue crystal eyes were now emitting a fiery red shimmer because they were releasing their fiery eyes.

Looking at Ariel who had been cleaned again, walking slowly, her pale eyes were calm, and she reminded her.

"Your hair is still dripping."

Ariel smoothed down her wet long hair and said angrily.

"I know, I know, why don't I come back first and do this first?"

With that said, Ariel got on the carriage and sat down next to Bai Bai. She imitated Bai Bai's previous operation of using fire magic to dry his hair. The red light and heat emitted from his hands slowly dried the wet long hair.

Bai Bai seemed to have remembered something, and threw out the mutilated bear carcass he had brought back from the storage space.

"By the way, you were unconscious before. I brought your trophies back. It's up to you to deal with them."

Ariel was stunned for a moment, she had really forgotten about this before, and after thinking about it for a while, she made a decision.

"Just give me its magic crystals to make magic materials, and use the rest as ingredients."

"Okay! Another bear paw has been eaten!"

Xiaobai, the greedy dragon who had been waiting for a long time, suddenly became enthusiastic and actively dragged the bear carcass to the water source to process the food.

While waiting for Xiaobai to come back from processing the ingredients, the atmosphere between the two fell silent again. Looking at the girl who was drying her hair silently with her head lowered, Baiwan thought for a while and then said.

"The demon bear had some changes, and its vitality was particularly strong. That's why you didn't burn it to death directly, but fortunately you had a backup plan. It seems that you can release two high-level magics in such a short period of time.

You have made great progress recently."

Ariel, who was drying her hair, nodded and said with a smile.

"Isn't this what you taught me? But I feel like I'm about to change from a mage to a warrior. I didn't learn such rough fighting before."

But the girl felt that she had changed a lot. The way she learned to fight in the past was that she only had to stand behind a human shield and act as a spell-casting fort. But now, all she had to do was rush forward and confront the enemy head-on.

He was pale and a little embarrassed.
