Burns? How is that possible!

Sitting in a rough Wooden Chair, Dr. Ma Wei An's tone was filled with disbelief.

After learning about the situation in Black Mountain, Life Scholar Kang Qi left in a hurry.

The remaining task was naturally to examine Linsey's injuries.

But at this moment.

The Fifth Stage awakened physician looked bewildered.

He grasped Linsey's right hand, and his Essence extended along the technique, allowing him to clearly sense the young man's physical condition.

Regardless of the aspect of analysis.

The young man in front of me was exhibiting the reactions of someone who had suffered severe burns.

But to Ma Wei An's naked eye, Linsey appeared completely unaffected.

—Excessive internal heat; —Various bodily reactions to burns;

—But there is no trace of burning on the exposed skin.

This is a complete challenge to Ma Wei An's medical common sense!

Seeing the doctor's somewhat self-doubting expression, Linsey scratched her head sheepishly:

"Um... I'm sorry, your examination shows no problems! I was indeed severely burned before, but the reason you can't see the marks now is because of my ability, which can conceal the injuries on my body to some extent."

"..."

Ma Wei An's expression was priceless. "Young man, your abilities are indeed remarkable."

"However, if you go to see a doctor in the future, remember not to do this again, as it could potentially cause some unnecessary consequences."

Ma Wei An gave a brief instruction and continued to check on Linsey's condition.

The burns are easy to deal with. The young man in front of me has the Constitution of an Awakened One, and his Essence is extremely active. He is a holder of Life Source Material.

Since he didn't die on the spot, he can recover with proper care.

Moreover, since the opponent's ability can conceal external injuries, even burn scars don't need to be treated...

"Ah?!"

Suddenly, Ma Wei An leaned back.

As if struck by lightning, he abruptly pulled his hand away from Linsey, nearly tipping over with the chair as he tried to dodge.

It was the old wizard beside him who helped him up.

"Ma Wei An, how is it?"

"He..." The doctor looked at Linsey in front of him, his expression extremely complicated, even revealing a hint of fear, "His body, or rather his left arm, contains an extremely strong death force!"

"Logically, this kind of power should quickly erode his body and then kill him completely, so how could he still be alive..."

Seeing the doctor struggling with his decision, the old wizard interrupted him, asking, "Ma Wei An, is there a way to handle this?"

"Ah? I'm sorry!" The doctor looked up and quickly shook his head. "This Non-Self ability to handle!"

At this moment, Ma Wei An remembered something else:

"By the way, Mr. Tang should be in Nine Bends City right now. He might have a solution!"

Nine Bends City? Upon hearing this answer, Linsey immediately realized what was going on.

In the Courtyard in the Forest World, there are currently two human awakeners at the Seventh Stage.

One of them was the wizard Ke Saiwei Lait in front of him, and the other was the organizer of Nine Bends City.

Several years ago.

The opponent was seriously injured during the battle against the Dragon Beast, so he retreated to the Courtyard in the Forest to recuperate.

The doctor named Tang that Ma Wei An mentioned.

It must be because of this injured Seventh Stage organizer that they stationed themselves in Nine Bends City!

At the same time, Ma Wei An said apologetically to Linsey, "Young man, I'm sorry."

"I can't treat the injury on your left hand, and as for your burns, they seem to heal completely on their own."

Linsey, on the other hand, had a very open-minded attitude:

"It's okay, I understand."

You know your own family best.

The death power wrapped around Linsey's left arm comes from the death power of the Eighth Stage Extinction Crown.

If it can be removed easily, then it's actually not normal.

Linsey is quite satisfied that she has found hope for a solution, and that it is in the same world, in Nine Bends City.

"I have failed in my mission, so I will take my leave now."

The doctor left with a sense of guilt.

He didn't even charge Linsey a consultation fee, and left her a packet of herbs to help her recover before leaving the house.

Inside the poorly constructed wooden hut, the old wizard looked at Linsey: "Given your Constitution, the effects of the burns should heal in 20 days, right?"

The old wizard's eyes held a hint of inquiry.

Linsey readily nodded in agreement:

"That's right, I'm going to leave here once the effects of the burns have worn off."

The old wizard didn't offer direct advice, but instead pointed out the potential danger. "Kuit cares a lot about you. This kind of attention might not be a problem in the city, but it could cause trouble if you leave."

Linsey nodded, her tone firm. "But I can't stay here forever."

Then, Linsey asked, "Lord Ke Saiwei Lait, what are your plans for supporting the Hidden Borderlands?"

The old wizard replied bluntly:

"Many Life Scholar have come here from Volcano City. They value the ecosystem of the new world, and Kang Qi just came for that reason as well."

"Once they receive intelligence about the Black Mountain World, they will organize a team and set off within a week. Subsequently, Nine Bends City and Remote Yue City will also send people to provide second and third waves of support."

Linsey breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that arrangements had been made for the issues concerning the Hidden Borderlands.

The two chatted for a few more minutes.

Linsey saw the old wizard off, prepared a dinner, and then fell into a deep sleep.

Clang clang clang—

The next morning, Linsey was awakened by a knock on the door.

He walked into the living room, opened the door, and looked straight ahead, but saw nothing.

"Ah?"

Linsey looked down.

Only then did he notice a fluffy white figure standing at his doorstep.

This is a rabbit-like person from the Cha Luo Race. He is carrying a tool bag on his back, which appears to contain some woodworking tools.

The moment he saw Linsey, a sweet smile spread across his face, "Sir, I heard yesterday that you were building a house. Do you need a professional carpenter's help?"

Linsey initially wanted to refuse.

But seeing the novel appearance of the Cha Luo Rabbit People, he couldn't resist his curiosity and agreed:

"Please come in, I happen to need some help."

Linsey's house frame has been completed; what remains to be done are some interior decoration details.

He doesn't plan to be idle during these 20 days of recovery.

I plan to use my skills to cultivate some plants and sell them here, both to pass the time and to test my experimental skills.

The job details and hiring costs were briefly discussed.

Linsey and the Cha Luo Rabbit People Rui Li worked in the cabin.

"I need to make some wooden shelves of varying heights here to hold the cultivated plants, and there should also be water troughs underneath."

"Okay, I understand. Leave this to me!"

Will you use this kind of saw?

"The saw table... What a clever design! Are you a craftsman?"

"This is a design from someone else; I'm just using it."

"..."

"Speaking of which, Mr. Linsey, this was just an empty lot yesterday. You've built houses really fast."

"My skills can be of some help in this regard," Linsey explained, then added with interest, "But you're quite quick to react, too. I only started building the house yesterday, and you're already here looking for work today."

"Because Lord Ke Saiwei Lait visited you last night," Rui Li explained cheerfully. "We enjoy interacting with wizards. I wouldn't do that for anyone else!"

"..."

Linsey and Rui Li chatted while working, and also learned about Lookout Point City.

The largest population group in this city consists of gatherers and hunters.

There were also a large number of Carpenter and architects, and merchants and traders accounted for about 15%.

Specifically referring to the situation of awakened individuals.

Just like I said last night, Life Scholar make up the vast majority of the population in the city.

The old wizard is the nominal administrator, but his actual status is different from that of a city lord in reality; he has a special identity that exists in the superhuman world.

If he leaves, Life Scholar will immediately take over the city's governance.

But they would never challenge a wizard under normal circumstances.

Just as Linsey and Rui Li were getting along well and even starting to discuss lunch for the day.

Boom—

The ground beneath their feet suddenly began to shake.

Linsey's expression hardened, and she rushed out of the house, with Rui Li following closely behind.

Human God panicked, hiding on the edges of surrounding buildings or lying near fences and walls.

Linsey followed their gaze—

The shaking just now was not an earthquake.

Instead, it was the trees surrounding Lookout Point City that were shaking violently at this moment, as if some dangerous will was raging in the forest!

Linsey immediately realized what was happening.

This is exactly the same as the forest disturbance that occurred yesterday.

However, yesterday's incident was suppressed by the evening under the guidance of the wizard.

Linsey turned to look at the Cha Luo Rabbit People behind her. "Rui Li, this problem has occurred for two consecutive days. Is it common in the Courtyard in the Forest?"

Rui Li shook her head in a panic, denying it:

"No!"

"I've never seen anything like this before!"
