Without going anywhere else, Shen Heng went straight to the foot of a mountain and sat down against a tree trunk.
The Fluid Battle Armor retreated towards the wrist, and the Origin Crystal of the Fifth Tier Calamity Beast Long Python that had been killed earlier was also taken out in the process.
The Origin Crystal was placed on the dantian.
Soon, the cool Origin Power flowed through his body, soothing the twitching meridians.
Feeling the comfort emanating from his body as the Origin Power gradually filled him, Shen Heng let out a soft breath, leaned his head back against the tree trunk.
All sorts of sounds came from my ears.
The sound of ice forming in the distance; the footsteps of the Calamity Beast coming from Frontier-Pacifying City; the whooshing sound of a Hard-Armored Salamander Calamity Beast dodging through the air; the sounds of battle from other parts of the battlefield...
A moment later, Shen Heng slowly opened his eyes.
In my field of vision, a girl with short hair wearing a gray combat uniform ran quickly towards me.
" Captain Shen, I'm sorry, I'm Xu Jianing from Frontier-Pacifying City, I'm here to help you with your treatment!"
"Okay, thank you for your help. Is there anything I can do for you?" Shen Heng asked.
"No, no, you can stay seated!" Xu Jianing hurriedly waved her hand.
As she spoke, she quickly stepped forward, squatted down next to Captain Shen, and placed her hand on his chest.
A faint, shimmering white light emanated from it, penetrating into Shen Heng's body.
However, her expression quickly froze, and she raised her eyes.
" Captain Shen, your injuries..."
"What, is it serious?" Shen Heng looked over.
"Hmm," Xu Jianing nodded solemnly, "Your injuries are mainly twofold. One is that your lungs, liver, and other organs were compressed and suffered varying degrees of damage, presumably due to being crushed by the shockwave of the explosion; the other is that your meridians have developed fine cracks and are constantly trembling, this..."
She paused, a hint of embarrassment appearing on her face.
"Sorry, I can't think of any attack that caused this at the moment."
"It wasn't an attack that hit me; it was a side effect of one of my combat techniques!" Shen Heng explained.
"Your combat skills?" Xu Jianing's eyes widened slightly.
"Mm," Shen Heng replied.
"I see!" Xu Jianing nodded slightly in understanding. "But whatever the cause, given your current condition, it's best to avoid fighting for the time being."
"Okay, I understand," Shen Heng replied.
Upon hearing this, Xu Jianing nodded in satisfaction and then continued the treatment.
But then, as if remembering something, she paused, her gaze shifting in that direction.
" Captain Shen, when you said you knew, you meant you wouldn't be going into battle again, right?"
The young man looked over, remained silent, and did not respond.
Upon seeing this, Xu Jianing's eyes widened immediately.
"No, do you even realize how serious your injuries are? To be honest, you should be lying down right now! If this continues, the cracks in your meridians will get bigger and bigger, and they might even break completely!"
"Yes, I know!" the young man replied calmly.
"No, it's not a matter of knowing or not knowing!" Xu Jianing said anxiously, her voice unconsciously rising a little, "You can't continue fighting now, otherwise, if this goes on for too long, your meridians are very likely to break. At that point, forget about continuing to cultivate, even surviving will be a question!"
"Yes, I know!"
"I've already said, this isn't a matter of knowing or not knowing, you..."
Xu Jianing frowned as she spoke, hoping the other person wouldn't force themselves to continue fighting.
However, the other party seemed not to have listened at all, their expression remained calm, and their pupils even moved slightly in their eye sockets as they gazed into the distance.
Seriously, can't people just listen to what others are saying?... Xu Jianing looked over, somewhat annoyed, then paused, stunned.
This location seems to be quite good; you can see most of the battlefield.
Origin Power exhausted and helping their wounded teammates; others were still fighting against the Calamity Beast; and still others were caught in the towering Tsunami...
She thought again of the inspectors she had just treated, and the notification she had received a while earlier that they needed to stall for time while waiting for the soldiers on the mountain to evacuate...
The words of advice stopped at some point.
"... Okay, I understand, thank you!" the young man replied.
Xu Jianing remained silent, her words no different from before, but this time, she detected an unwavering conviction in them.
She suddenly understood why the other party was so determined to continue.
She didn't speak, but simply looked away, lowered her head, and began to treat the patient seriously.
A moment later, a question came from inside, "By the way, how many people did you have when you came out to provide support?"
Xu Jianing raised her eyes, her slightly changed thoughts prompting her to reply, "Including me, there are a total of 78 people!"
"78 people?" the young man murmured, his voice seemingly ethereal.
"Hmm!" Xu Jianing responded, "Is it too little?"
"No, I was just asking!" the young man replied.
Xu Jianing was somewhat puzzled, feeling that the other party hadn't just asked how many people they had when they came out to provide support, but she didn't know how to ask.
She continued the treatment, but her gaze kept drifting to the young man in front of her.
The young man leaned against the tree trunk, his eyes closed, his black hair swaying gently in the breeze.
Her initial guesses about the other party changed again and again after seeing him in person, but now she can basically confirm that the young man in front of her is indeed completely different from Captain Wang of Chongshan City!
Hmm, if I tell them when I get back, Xinyue and the others will be so envious, right? No, they probably won't believe me! After all...
Once again, Xu Jianing looked at the young man in front of her.
This is too much...
Suddenly, the young man opened his eyes.
Xu Jianing, like a child caught doing something wrong, hurriedly looked away.
However, before she could think further, a gentle voice came over.
"Shall we conclude the treatment here?"
Hearing this, Xu Jianing forgot her shyness and quickly turned her gaze back.
"No, this is just..."
She was interrupted before she could finish speaking.
" The Calamity Beast chasing you are coming!"
Xu Jianing paused slightly, then looked towards the direction of Frontier-Pacifying City.
She listened carefully and realized that there were indeed many footsteps approaching, and the distance was...
Suddenly, her pupils contracted slightly.
One after another, Calamity Beast appeared at the end of the mountain path!
She quickly turned her gaze back.
" Captain Shen, the Calamity Beast is coming! Let's go!"
"It's alright, you go ahead first, run towards where there are more people!" the young man replied calmly.
Upon hearing this, Xu Jianing was slightly taken aback.
She looked at the young man in front of her, seemingly understanding what he wanted to do. After hesitating for a moment, she did not refuse. The previous conversation had already given her a general idea of what kind of person the young man was.
She stood up, bowed, and said...
"You must be careful. Also, it's best to avoid using that combat technique that affects your meridians. If you need treatment later, please contact me!"
"Yes, I understand!" the young man replied gently.
Seeing this, Xu Jianing didn't linger and quickly ran away into the distance.
Shen Heng watched the medical personnel quickly disappear into the distance.
He listened attentively to what the other person said, remembered it, and tried his best to avoid it.
Like this time, if it were just the Mirror Water Beast alone, it might have had to bring forward the original evacuation plan. But with Gu Lingxuan and the others coming, winning might be a bit difficult, but the worst-case scenario shouldn't happen.
As for this side...
Shen Heng turned his gaze to the wolf-like Calamity Beast that was running over excitedly, as if it had found a bargain.
It shouldn't be to the point where the overclocking speed is pushed to that extent!
