" Sister Han, are you really only injured?"
Zhou Xuan looked at Han Ling with some unease.
It wasn't that he didn't want to believe it, but Han Ling's complexion was really bad, and she seemed very weak. Among them, even Yao Guanyu, who was the most seriously injured, wasn't in this state!
Beside her, the others also looked at Han Ling with slightly solemn expressions.
Although the plan was proposed by the other party, if anything goes wrong during the process, they will also feel bad, since they owe their survival to the other party!
"Don't worry, it's just internal organ damage. I've already taken an organ stabilizer, and I'll feel much better after a while," Han Ling said, slightly out of breath.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xuan relaxed slightly.
In the wild, their main means of treatment are the few vials of medicine they carry with them.
After using it on minor injuries, there shouldn't be any major problems. For serious injuries, it can also stabilize the condition as much as possible until you return for treatment.
Well, thankfully I wasn't seriously injured, otherwise I wouldn't be able to explain to the captain that I was fine but that Sister Han had a problem... Zhou Xuan nodded silently to himself.
"By the way, do you still have any quick-healing gel?" Han Ling asked.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xuan subconsciously looked over again, his gaze quickly sweeping over Han Ling's body, but he didn't see any obvious external injuries.
"I haven't even used this jar yet, what's wrong?"
"It wasn't that I wanted to use it, it was the Stone that wanted to use it. It pushed me away in front of me, which is how I dodged the attack from the Profound Crystal Griffin," Han Ling explained.
Upon hearing this, everyone was slightly taken aback.
They knew that Stone " referred to the Stone-Armored Beast, so...
Everyone's gazes instinctively swept to the side before quickly settling on a certain spot.
A Stone-Armored Beast lay helplessly on the ground not far away, with a huge wound on its back from which blood was still flowing uncontrollably.
He's not dead yet, but if left unattended, he might be soon!
"You mean, this guy saved you?" Wang Hu turned his gaze back and asked in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Han Ling confirmed in a low voice, "That's why I asked you if you had any more quick-healing gel. We need to go and treat Stone quickly, otherwise Stone might die!"
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but glance once more at the injured Stone-Armored Beast in the distance.
A large chunk of flesh was missing from the Stone-Armored Beast's back.
These injuries can only barely keep me alive with the healing gel; to truly heal them, I'll need to return to someone with the relevant abilities to treat me. But... is it really possible for Calamity Beast to actually save humans?
The crowd's eyes flickered slightly.
They hadn't objected before, but they weren't particularly optimistic either, and then...
"Hey, that Stone guy!"
Zhou Xuan grinned, then picked up a stainless steel vial of medicine from his waist.
"My jar is full!"
"I still have half a can left..."
Everyone chimed in.
Only Yao Guanyu, due to the severity of his injuries, had used up the jar he was carrying.
Han Ling's gaze swept quickly over the area.
Including my own, is it a little over three cans, but less than four?
She took her jar and handed it to Zhou Xuan.
" Zhou Xuan, hurry over and help deal with this!"
"Okay, I understand!" Zhou Xuan replied, then took the healing gel from everyone's hands and quickly flew towards the location of the Stone-Armored Beast.
"Let's go take a look too!" Jiang Yue and Yao Guanyu exchanged a glance and said.
Wang Hu watched the three leave, then glanced at Han Ling and Cao Yiyi before flying over without saying anything.
Healing the Calamity Beast seems like a really interesting activity.
He flew slowly in that direction.
Upon closer inspection, one could hear Zhou Xuan communicating with the Stone-Armored Beast.
"... Lord Zhou Xuan, is Lady Han Ling alright?" the Stone-Armored Beast asked weakly.
"Don't worry, it's alright!" Zhou Xuan replied.
"Ha, that's good, that's good!" the Stone-Armored Beast repeated, its voice seeming to grow weaker and weaker.
Zhou Xuan didn't pay any attention. He raised his hand and stroked his chin, scrutinizing the huge wound on the Stone-Armored Beast's back.
The wound was more than three meters wide, exposing most of the muscles and blood vessels in the back; at its deepest point, even the spine was visible.
This injury is only because the Calamity Beast is so large that it survived; a human would have been dead long ago!
The Stone-Armored Beast's head lay limply on the ground, its pupils rolling in their sockets as it looked at Zhou Xuan.
"Lord Zhou Xuan, what's wrong?" the Stone-Armored Beast asked weakly.
"Hmm, let's see how to treat you!" Zhou Xuan raised his hand and stroked his chin, his gaze still fixed on the wounds on the Stone-Armored Beast.
"Heal, cure?!" the Stone-Armored Beast asked, its voice filled with confusion.
"Yes, that's right!"
Zhou Xuan responded, then looked at the Stone-Armored Beast with a somewhat puzzled expression.
He paused, as if he understood something.
Unless they live in groups, ordinary Calamity Beast would probably have no choice but to tough it out after being injured.
In other words, this kind of injury would probably have been fatal to an ordinary Calamity Beast!
In this situation, the first thing this guy did upon arriving was ask about Sister Han's condition?
So, did it really go to save Sister Han even though it might die?
Zhou Xuan still looked at the Stone-Armored Beast with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.
Although there had been some speculation beforehand, the confirmation was still quite shocking.
Shaking his head and turning his gaze away, Zhou Xuan said:
"Don't worry, we humans are different from you Calamity Beast. We have specialized tools to treat our injuries."
"Is... is that so? Does that mean I don't have to die?" the Stone-Armored Beast asked, its voice clearly brightening with joy.
It was genuinely overjoyed; it had thought it was going to die, but it hadn't expected to survive.
"Hmm!" Zhou Xuan replied simply, then asked, "By the way, do you have a way to mobilize Origin Power to stop the bleeding from those areas?"
"I'll give it a try."
As the Stone-Armored Beast spoke, its breathing became heavier, and its body rose and fell slightly as it lay on the ground, clearly attempting something.
But soon, its undulating body collapsed, and it let out a weak breath.
"I'm sorry, I don't think I have the strength left!" the Stone-Armored Beast said, its voice lowering uncontrollably. "Lord Zhou Xuan, does this mean I'm beyond saving, that I'm going to die?"
"Don't worry, it's not that bad yet. It will hurt a little, but you'll have to bear with it." Zhou Xuan raised his hand and stroked his chin.
"It hurts a little?" The Stone-Armored Beast looked at Lord Zhou Xuan with some confusion.
It vaguely seemed to hear Lord Zhou Xuan utter something, and then, lightning flickered slightly in his palm.
The next moment.
"Roar--"
Painful roars echoed through the mountains and forests.
A moment later, it suddenly stopped again.
The Stone-Armored Beast fainted.
"You're already dizzy?!"
Zhou Xuan tilted his head back slightly to look into the eyes of the Stone-Armored Beast, and said with a hint of disappointment,
"If that's the case, how can the captain expect you to fight against humans—no, against the Calamity Beast— from now on!"
