Are You... Going to Sea God Island?
Lin Xia watched the direction she disappeared in, a slight smile of helplessness mixed with relief curving her lips.
Financial compensation?
To him, it was indeed the most insignificant little thing.
The wealth in his Space Soul Tool was more than enough to buy half of Purple Pearl Island.
But that's clearly not the point at the moment.
His gaze quickly swept over his companions.
Hu Liena clung tightly to him, her body still trembling slightly despite the broken rope.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling supported each other, their faces pale and their eyes still filled with fear.
Xie Yue and Yan collapsed to the ground. Although Jixiang had provided initial treatment, the deep, bone-revealing wounds, the marks of poisoning, and the bruises from the chains all testified to the torment they had endured.
A sense of weakness enveloped them as if it were a tangible reality.
"The most urgent task is to heal the wounds."
Lin Xia's voice was steady and powerful, instantly dispelling the gloom in everyone's hearts.
Without the slightest hesitation, with a thought and a surge of his Soul Power, a massive emerald green figure, accompanied by a soft yet vibrant light, suddenly appeared in the dilapidated wooden house.
Venusaur!
Its mountain-like body almost filled half of the broken space. Thick, gnarled vines coiled around the huge flower bud on its back like a living emerald python. The rich, almost tangible Life Energy rippled out like water, instantly filling this space filled with blood and dust with freshness and Hustle.
The pirates who had been peering out from outside were startled by the sudden appearance of the enormous creature and retreated in alarm, letting out gasps of surprise.
"Venusaur, please!"
Lin Xia said in a deep voice.
Venusaur huge bud slowly opened, no longer Solar Beam of battle, but flowing with a vibrant emerald green light even more intense than the purest jade.
Countless tiny specks of light, shimmering with a soft green glow, fell like a gentle rain, precisely covering Xie Yue, Yan, and the three girls.
This is the healing light that it generates after merging its own powerful life essence with Lin Xia's Soul Power.
The effect was immediate the moment the light touched the wound.
The gruesome wound on Xie Yue's chest, torn by the Sawtooth Poison Eel and with eerie blackish-purple edges, was smoothed out as if by an invisible hand. The rolled-up flesh contracted and healed at a visible speed, and Sisi of foul-smelling black gas were forced out by the emerald light and dissipated into the air.
The deep, bone-exposing wound was quickly covered by newly formed, pink granulation tissue. The pained expression finally faded from Xie Yue's face, replaced by a relieved relaxation.
The other dark purple bruises on his body, caused by the chains, also faded and disappeared quickly.
Yan's condition has also improved.
His face, contorted with pain and humiliation, relaxed. His broken bones, nourished by Life Energy, reconnected and stabilized. The crisscrossing whip marks on his skin quickly scabbed over and fell off, revealing new skin. He tried to clench his fist; although he was still somewhat weak, the excruciating pain had disappeared.
The abrasions, Bind marks, and mental exhaustion on Hu Liena, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling quickly disappeared under the soft green light.
Hu Liena felt a warm current flow through her body, dispelling the cold and fear. When she lifted her head from Lin Xia, her face had regained its rosy hue, and her eyes Illuminate.
Dugu Yan took a deep breath, feeling her breathing, which had been disordered by the toxins and Astonish, become much smoother.
Ye Lingling subconsciously released her Nine Heart Begonia. Under the resonance of Venusaur's Life Energy, the pink and white flowers emitted a healing aura that became softer and more effective, accelerating her recovery.
In just a short while, the external injuries on everyone's bodies had been mostly healed, and their internal weakness had been largely replenished by the powerful Life Energy.
Although he is still far from his peak condition, especially since his Soul Power has not fully recovered, his movements are no longer a problem, and his spirits have been greatly lifted.
With Jixiang's help, Xie Yue and Yan were able to stand up with difficulty.
Jixiang stood quietly to the side, witnessing this miraculous group healing process.
His usually calm eyes finally stirred with intense emotion, a mixture of shock, curiosity, and a barely Frisk longing.
Such a massive Plant-type Soul Beast, brimming with such pure life force, and Lin Xia's effortless control over Soul Power and Life Energy, far exceeded the cognitive boundaries of this person who was proficient in medicine but unable to cultivate.
The look in his eyes as he gazed at Lin Xia now held a deeper sense of awe, in addition to the previous complexity.
As the emerald light on Venusaur's back slowly receded, and its massive body transformed into a stream of light and returned to its body at Lin Xia's signal, Jixiang stepped forward.
He wasn't surprised; instead, he looked at Lin Xia with a probing gaze, and his calm voice finally revealed a Frisk ripple.
"Such powerful healing abilities... I've never heard of anything like it. It seems you are far more formidable than I imagined."
Lin Xia nodded slightly, which was a presupposition.
Jixiang's gaze slowly swept over the five people who had regained their composure, and finally fell back on Lin Xia. His voice returned to its usual calm, but he asked a crucial question.
"Are you... going to Sea God Island?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xia's eyes narrowed, and she exchanged a glance with her companions.
Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and the others immediately focused their attention, their eyes fixed intently on Jixiang.
Having experienced the devastating terror of the Deep Sea Demon Whale, they felt both a strong longing for the mysterious Sea God Island and a deeper sense of dread.
Any information about Sea God Island is invaluable.
"Good."
Lin Xia readily admitted it, her gaze sharp as she looked at Jixiang.
"Our final destination is Sea God Island. Do you know anything about Sea God Island?"
He voiced his suspicions: Jixiang's ability to recognize the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and his familiarity with this sea area strongly suggested a connection to Sea God Island.
For the first time, the unchanging calm on Jixiang's face was replaced by a deep emotion mixed with reminiscence and loneliness.
He lowered his head slightly, avoiding the intense gazes of the crowd, his voice low and ethereal, as if from the distant past.
"Actually... I came here from Sea God Island."
"Oh?"
Lin Xia's voice carried obvious surprise, and a glint of light flashed in her Purple Demon Eye as she Lock-On Jixiang.
This information is crucial!
An indigenous person familiar with the rules of Sea God Island is of immeasurable value.
Hu Liena and the others held their breath instantly, their eyes brimming with curiosity and anticipation.
Xie Yue, struggling to support his weakened body, leaned against an unfallen wooden pillar, his gaze piercing; Yan also stared wide-eyed.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling instinctively took a step closer.
Jixiang nodded, raised her head, and her gaze seemed to Infiltrator the broken roof, looking towards the boundless blue sky, lost in memories.
"Yes. I was born on Sea God Island and lived there until I was ten years old. My parents were devout believers who had lived on the island for generations."
