Surface Peace, Turbulent Undercurrents
At the crucial moment when the battle was about to break out, the NPC furnace, which had been nothing more than a decoration, finally started to work!
Its flames instantly surged, transforming its original appearance into that of a nearly gigantic Flame Giant.
Then, the giant formed by the Furnace Fire emitted a majestic sound, as grand as a morning bell.
"I said, that's enough!"
"Don't fight Healing Place. If you want to settle this once and for all, go outside!"
Such a scorching and enormous flame instantly raised the temperature of the entire tent by several degrees!
The tent now resembles the interior of an oven.
The barbarian who had been so enraged instantly Leng Jing.
Lin Yu had originally planned how to kill the monster, was also slightly shocked.
"Is this guy really that strong?"
"So, it was this that stopped the fighting here?"
With these doubts in mind, Lin Yu subconsciously activated the [Mind-Reading Mirror].
Then he saw a sentiment analysis panel showing "45% worry, 25% guilt"...
"It's all just a bluff."
Lin Yu silently rubbed his forehead.
Fortunately, the barbarian didn't know this.
The intense heat and the fact that the other party was ultimately in charge of the Healing Place caused the barbarian to suppress his anger and sheathe his weapon.
He glared fiercely at Stiller.
"Human Race, we'll remember this debt... But right now, saving my elder brother is the most important thing."
As the barbarian spoke, he looked at the hearth and shouted.
"So, can my older brother be cured?!"
Seeing that he was no longer entangled with Stiller, the Furnace Fire returned to its normal size and then calmly spoke.
"It can be cured; it's just a minor Snake Venom."
Then, the Furnace Fire stretched out two large fiery hands, the left hand grabbing the barbarian on the ground who was already barely breathing and deeply poisoned.
Then, the fingers of his Right Hand transformed into dozens of tongues of fire, which rolled up several medicine bottles and jars and crushed them.
"Refine!"
The Furnace Fire roared, and then the medicinal liquid was enveloped and swirled in the air by the flames, merging together and being heated.
The alchemy technique employed by this person dazzled everyone.
Only Lin Yu saw through the clues again using the [Mind-Reading Mirror].
"35% pride plus 25% complacency... it seems this move was more about showing off."
Lin Yu sighed, while Hannah spoke with a hint of envy.
"Wow, that's amazing! I wish I had that skill. I could control the heat perfectly when grilling or boiling things."
"You'll be a great Chef in the future; you won't need these external factors to control the heat."
As Lin Yu spoke, Hannah was surprised again.
"Hey, Director, you've said something similar to Uncle Ka!"
During the conversation, the Furnace Fire had finished refining the medicinal liquid, which was then poured into the mouths of the barbarians on the ground.
"Glug glug..."
The barbarian trembled violently, and then black blood gushed from his mouth and nose.
"Big brother!"
The more impulsive barbarian shouted excitedly and charged forward.
Another barbarian glared angrily at the Furnace Fire: "What have you done?!"
The fire spirit calmly said, "You two idiots, is there not a single person your tribe sent this time who knows anything about Shamanic Healer? This is a process of draining poison from the blood!"
"Move him aside and let him rest for a while."
After the fire spirit finished speaking, it turned to Stiller and his group.
"Bring over the one who got bitten!"
Stiller immediately waved, and then two male Player carried over a woman whose abdomen was covered in blood.
Although the clothes were wrapped in bandages, the fact that half of his body was soaked in blood indicated that the bleeding had not stopped.
Meanwhile, the woman had also lost consciousness.
After observing for a moment, the Furnace Fire came to a conclusion.
"It's not that serious. She was bitten by Rending Tooth Beast, so the wound won't heal, right? Was the thing that bit her black or white?"
As the Furnace Fire blazed, one of the Player blurted out, "I can't see clearly... it looks like ash."
Stiller Leng Jing replied, "Black and white stripes, running so fast that it looks like a gray shadow."
Furnace Fire understood. "I see, the Striped Rending Tooth Cat, it's not a big problem... You Human Race have sent a bunch of people who don't know anything about Shamanic Healer. Just sprinkle some special medicinal powder on it and it'll be fine."
As he spoke, Furnace Fire used his fiery hand to take out a medicine bottle. This time, there was no refining process; he simply opened the bottle and poured in the powder.
"It might hurt a little, but bear with it."
As the powder was sprinkled in, the Furnace Fire also spoke.
And just as he finished speaking...
"Ah--!!!"
A scream rang out.
The woman, who had been unconscious, awoke and let out a piercing scream.
The sound was like that of a hellish demon suffering endless torment.
At the same time, her limbs twisted, convulsed, and spasmed, and sweat poured out like a waterfall.
Lin Yu's eyes lit up.
This is really good stuff.
Whether this stuff stops bleeding or not is debatable, but since it has such a refreshing and invigorating effect when sprinkled on a wound, wouldn't it be great for interrogation, torture, and threats?
The screams lasted for about half a minute before gradually subsiding—not because the pain had stopped, but because the person was shouting that they had run out of breath.
His whole body was still convulsing from the excruciating pain.
Fortunately, the bleeding did stop.
"Take her away! She can be discharged once the seizures stop!"
With a wave of his hand, he blazed the Furnace Fire.
Seeing that the tense atmosphere had been restored by the miraculous healing of the Furnace Fire, Fern lay back down.
"It's a pity that a fight didn't break out."
Looking at the two new groups that weren't far from him, Lin Yu silently refuted Fern's statement.
"It's not certain that a fight won't break out..."
This is only a temporary peace.
Judging from the current situation, it seems that something will happen here very soon.
Because it's very simple...
From the almost superhuman perspective of the [Mind-Reading Mirror], Lin Yu was able to see through the turbulent undercurrents hidden beneath the surface.
Between the two barbarians, the one who was more distant from the injured looked at his "elder brother" whose breathing had stabilized, but felt no "joy" in his heart. Instead, he felt "doubt," "unease," and "worry."
If that's all there is to it... Lin Yu only knows that there's a landmine among the barbarians, but he can't be sure when it will be detonated, or even that it will definitely be detonated.
However, among the Player on Stiller's side, the emotions of Stiller other Player were not very positive either.
Hatred, jealousy, and anger are everywhere, and in the corner there is an ultimate Weirdo inexplicably experiences both joy and anticipation for only a moment before disappearing.
Lin Yu watched them until he felt his Mental Power was exhausted, then silently shut down the [Mind-Reading Mirror].
"This small Healing Place is truly a hidden gem."
"But precisely because of this... Stiller needs to hurry."
If things really escalate, all of Stiller's painstaking efforts will likely be in vain—after all, he hasn't yet spread the news of "Rakshasa" here.
So...
"Hannah, go to Stiller's place. I need to talk to him about something."
