First Aid

Linna's profession is emergency room doctor.

This is no different from Gao Tingsheng in Western Capital City. Everyone values Gao Tingsheng's medical skills, but no one thinks about how powerful Gao Tingsheng's Fifth Sequence abilities are. No one considers how good Gao Tingsheng is in combat or where he ranks in the order of the orders.

For Linna, the first priority when encountering wounded soldiers is to treat them, not to recklessly charge and chase after Turcolando.

"I'll save them!"

Lin Na walked ahead and responded, but even though Lin Na's response was appropriate, Zhang Xuezhou still noticed the slight twisting at the corner of Lin Na's mouth.

Clearly, if Zhang Xuezhou hadn't intervened, Lin Na would likely have bypassed Bakhtomb and the others.

"The range of direct mind manipulation couldn't be that long, nor could it penetrate layer after layer of tomb passages. It's one thing that Turcolando was trapped because he was outside for so long, but Linna only had a few minutes between being separated and reuniting with them. In that short time..."

Zhang Xuezhou believed that Huang Daoxian possessed strong spiritual power, but he did not think that Huang Daoxian's spiritual power could be infinitely strong.

Based on the information Zhang Xuezhou currently possesses, he knows that Luo Zhong and Huang Daoxian's spiritual power is quite similar.

Zhang Xuezhou was not familiar with Huang Daoxian, but he was familiar with Luo Zhong. Zhang Xuezhou had not only heard of the palace coup, but had also seen Luo Zhong take action in Luo Burang's fragmented memories.

This comparison allows him to roughly estimate Huang Daoxian's abilities.

The longer the passage into the Luowu Emperor's Mausoleum, the more he became inclined to judge whether Lin Na was actually Huang Daoxian in disguise, or whether Lin Na possessed some special medium that guided Huang Daoxian's precise control, or whether Huang Daoxian's true form was constantly approaching from behind for easier manipulation.

Previously, Zhang Xuezhou would have found it difficult to be thorough in all aspects.

However, Wang Haoran and the others also had monitoring devices to check. The auxiliary role of this technology was obviously excellent. Whenever Lin Na paused, which forced Huang Daoxian to pause as well, there was a high probability that the situation could be clearly seen in the monitoring.

"Speaker Bakhtom, you're injured!"

Various thoughts flashed through Zhang Xuezhou's mind, but he didn't stop talking.

He exclaimed in surprise and had already approached Bakhtom with Lina.

"Turcolando... sigh!"

Bakhtom sighed heavily.

Things had progressed to a point that was completely beyond Bakhtom's expectations, and he felt that things were about to come to an end.

Bakhtom knew that being the speaker of the Thousand Islands Alliance was no easy task, but he never expected things to go wrong under these circumstances.

He didn't know what had gotten into Turcolando, that he would try to steal a pile of bones in front of everyone.

To be honest, Bakhtom felt he had never been interested in this pile of rotten bones, and even Montes Arthur's rambling didn't arouse his interest in the slightest.

But Turcolando's outright robbery came too suddenly.

"Lord Corlando must have been guided by the god Tu'er!"

"That's right, otherwise she wouldn't have done such a thing!"

Bakhtom was rather shy, while his two other assistants were more concerned and tried to find reasons to minimize any potential trouble.

However, neither of them looked very well.

The Fifth Sequence historian Jin Shixue made a mess of things when he entered the tomb of Emperor Luowu. Bahthom and others did not fare much better; they accidentally stepped on the trap floor tiles in the darkness and had their feet pierced by spikes that popped out from the ground.

"These are porcupine quills, from a wild animal that went extinct a century ago. Porcupines are covered in sharp quills, and in older porcupines, the quills on their heads and spines become completely keratinized, making them even more penetrating than arrows; a light prick can pierce flesh!"

Human Dynasty Zhang Xuezhou and the others, while Lin Na was the first to identify what had caused their injuries.

"But you can rest assured, the porcupine quills only pierced your legs and feet. There's no poison on the quills. You just need to remove them and stop the bleeding, and you'll be fine," Linna said.

"Thank you for your help, Dr. Lin!"

Bakhtom bowed in thanks, then glanced at Linna's small medicine box.

If possible, he hoped Linna could give him a strong hemostatic treatment, and then let him pull out the porcupine quill that was piercing the sole of his foot.

"No trouble at all!"

Linna glanced at the porcupine quill still attached to the iron handle, and then quickly pinched it with her fingers.

The sound of barbs tearing and ripping flesh from the porcupine quills filled the air. Bakhtom's eyes rolled back, and the seemingly energetic man suddenly collapsed, his lips trembling.

"Is the emergency medical care Aomeijia Alliance really that exaggerated?"

"I've heard that first aid methods are very rough, focusing only on saving lives and not paying attention to the process!"

"Is it necessary to stop the bleeding after pulling it out?"

"It doesn't seem necessary!"

The other two Thousand Islands Alliance turned pale after witnessing Linna's emergency treatment, while Zhang Xuezhou and Ren Anran whispered among themselves.

The porcupine quill that had pierced Bakhtom's foot was pulled out. Linna examined the wound for a few seconds, then glanced expressionlessly at her small medicine box. She pressed her fingers against Bakhtom's leg several times, and the bleeding from his foot stopped.

"Just bandage it lightly with a cloth. As long as you don't tear the wound, he should be able to walk normally in about ten days," Linna said.

"That's amazing!" Zhang Xuezhou clapped his hands.

"Can't we go to the hospital and get treatment normally... ah~"

Even the pale-faced Thousand Islands Alliance couldn't escape Linna's first aid. One had a porcupine quill on his calf, and the other had a porcupine quill on his thigh. After the quills were removed, both of them fainted from the pain.

"I've finished rescuing people. I'm going to check if there are any other injured people ahead. You guys stay here and take care of them!"

Linna gave an order, then took the searchlights from Bakhtomb and the others and stood up.

"No problem, we'll escort them out of the imperial tomb right away!"

Zhang Xuezhou patted his chest and promised to do so. Lin Na nodded, then quickly moved forward with the searchlight in hand.

"What to do?"

Seeing Lin Na leave with the lamp, Ren Anran quickly moved her lips to send a message.

"I've been to the Luo Wu Emperor's Mausoleum several times and know the shortcut. Sending someone out won't take much time. The time she spends targeting others is enough for us to complete this task. I can roughly determine Kelando's location based on the strength of the eavesdropping signal, and I can also avoid sending people out again. As long as she meets up with Kelando, we'll definitely run into her!"

Zhang Xuezhou did not appear flustered.

Even if the Mausoleum of Emperor Luowu wasn't his home turf, it was at least a place he was familiar with.

He was someone who had actually used a searchlight to survey the tomb of Emperor Luowu, and he knew exactly where to step on the ground, where not to step, where one would get lost, and where the shortest path was.

Lin Na has temporarily escaped him, but Zhang Xuezhou is still able to catch up with her.

He could also take advantage of the time after leaving the imperial tomb to restore the communicator's signal and see if Wang Haoran and the others had detected anything else while Lin Na stopped to treat the wounded.
