Chapter 209 Healing in the Cave
"Xiaogang, did you come to save me?"
Liu Erlong murmured a sentence softly, his voice weak and feeble, barely audible, yet filled with longing and joy.
In the final moments before her consciousness was about to fade into darkness, a blurry figure was reflected in her half-open, hazy eyes.
The figure was blurry, but judging from his appearance, he was a handsome man. Subconsciously, Liu Erlong mistook the handsome man who suddenly appeared in front of her for the man she had been longing for deep in her heart.
As soon as she finished speaking, the world before her eyes plunged into complete darkness, and Liu Erlong fainted. At the same time, her body, which had been swaying for a while, suddenly went limp and fell to the side.
At the critical moment, Ye Qifeng arrived and caught her already frail body, preventing her from falling onto the muddy ground mixed with blood and charred black.
Just as he used his first soul skill, manipulating objects with his mind to swiftly strike with the black blade Dark Moon, Ye Qifeng simultaneously leaped down from the trunk of the giant tree, following closely behind with the footwork of Meteor Illusion.
They arrived at Liu Erlong's side in an instant.
"Poor woman, even in death she still longs for that cowardly and incompetent master. Too bad, I am not the useless master you yearn for."
Hearing Liu Erlong's soft whispers before she fell unconscious, Ye Qifeng shook his head speechlessly, then couldn't help but make a few more sarcastic remarks:
"If the person coming is the useless master Yu Xiaogang, he'd probably run faster than anyone else."
"After all, the Waste Master is someone who advocates something like 'more rings, more bones, one wave of skill; fewer rings, fewer bones, run away'."
"I'm not trying to belittle him, but with his pig-like beast spirit that only knows how to fart and his pitiful two spirit rings, if he had the guts to face a 40,000-year-old scaled beast and not flinch, then I'd respect him as a real man."
As he spoke, Ye Qifeng picked up Liu Erlong's delicate body and helped her stand up.
But Liu Erlong, who had already fallen into a coma, could not possibly stand.
Seeing that her knees buckled and her waist went limp, about to slip down again, Ye Qifeng had no choice but to put his arm around her waist, let her lean against his body, and rest her head on his shoulder.
As a result, Ye Qifeng's clothes were instantly stained with the blood that kept seeping from Liu Erlong's body.
While unconscious, Liu Erlong leaned against Ye Qifeng. Her tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and the faint killing intent emanating from her body slowly dissipated, as if she had encountered her nemesis.
"Awooo. Gaa?"
At this moment, the giant scaled beast that had been overturned got up and immediately let out an angry roar, but the roar was abruptly cut off.
Because standing opposite it at this moment was that hateful human brat, yes, the human brat that even a thousand claws from it wouldn't be enough to vent its anger.
Unfortunately, it couldn't beat that human kid.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have left the depths of the forest, left its own territory, and come to this resource-poor outer region.
I never expected to run into him again. What bad luck!
The scaly behemoth had two egg-sized, crystal-yellow eyes that bulged outwards. Its huge, bear-like forehead was filled with fear, and it couldn't help but tremble all over, clearly recalling some unpleasant memories.
"roll!"
Upon hearing the short roar of the scaled beast, Ye Qifeng abruptly raised his head, looked at it expressionlessly, and uttered a single word in a cold voice.
The scaly behemoth trembled violently, as if the word uttered by that human boy possessed some kind of magic, causing it to feel an uncontrollable fear and its heart to tremble.
However, it understood the implied meaning.
The next moment, the scaled beast, as if granted a pardon, hurriedly turned around and ran away in a panic, crushing a path more than a meter wide through the dense jungle.
Having driven away the scaly beast, Ye Qifeng stopped paying attention to it and shifted his gaze back to Liu Erlong in front of him.
"The injuries are that serious?"
After examining Liu Erlong's injuries, Ye Qifeng couldn't help but frown.
He discovered that Liu Erlong had more than twenty wounds of varying sizes, covering almost every part of his body.
Especially on his chest, there was a long, deep claw mark that extended from below his neck almost all the way to his abdomen, and blood was constantly seeping out.
This claw mark was clearly left by that scaly behemoth.
If it were a claw strike from a scaly behemoth, and it deviated by half a centimeter, it would probably have slashed at the two round, soft mounds of flesh on its chest.
Fortunately, Liu Erlong was wearing a specially made Soul Master combat suit, so she wasn't left completely naked just because of the tear cut by the claw; her clothes still clung tightly to her body.
"What a foolish woman, getting herself all bruised and battered like this. Doesn't she know how to protect herself when she's out and about?"
Ye Qifeng sighed inwardly.
In this urgent situation, disregarding the taboo of men and women not touching each other, Ye Qifeng quickly pressed several acupoints on Liu Erlong's body to temporarily stop the bleeding.
Even so, Liu Erlong was already pale from excessive blood loss.
He probably won't wake up anytime soon.
"Too many soul beasts have died here, and the stench of blood is too strong. Sooner or later, it will attract a large wave of soul beasts. It's not safe to stay here; it's best to leave first."
Ye Qifeng looked around and then glanced at the sky. "It's getting late, almost dusk. Let's find a place to stay."
Finally, turning his gaze back to Liu Erlong in his arms, Ye Qifeng sighed and said:
"Liu Erlong's injuries cannot be delayed and need immediate treatment, otherwise her life may be in danger. Unfortunately, I am not a healing-type Soul Master, so I can only temporarily help suppress the injuries and prevent them from worsening."
"Yes, I do have some various healing medicines on me. I'll treat the wounds and apply the medicine later. With Liu Erlong's Soul Saint level physique, she should be able to recover slowly. After we leave Sunset Forest, I can find a healing-type Soul Master to help treat her."
Having made up his mind, Ye Qifeng hurriedly called out from somewhere in the shadows:
"Elder Ghost, please help me find a suitable place to stay, as soon as possible."
Given Liu Erlong's current situation, he can't afford to slowly search for a place to stay; he can only rely on the ghosts.
"it is good."
The ghostly figure hidden in the darkness responded with a telepathic message, then transformed into a wisp of mist and sped away.
Less than five minutes.
The ghostly soul force transmitted its message once again into Ye Qifeng's ears:
"Your Highness, about five kilometers east of here, there is a small cliff with a natural cave, which is an excellent place to stay. I have already driven away the soul beasts that roam the area, so no soul beasts will bother you. You can rest assured and find a place to rest."
"Okay, thank you, Elder Ghost."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qifeng's eyes lit up, and he expressed his gratitude.
"Walk."
After saying that, Ye Qifeng immediately wrapped one of Liu Erlong's fair and delicate arms around his neck, placed the other arm on her lower abdomen, and then let her head rest against the crook of his shoulder to make sure it wouldn't slip off.
He immediately grabbed Liu Erlong by the back with one hand and supported her legs with the other, picked her up, and ran away with a mysterious, meteor-like gait.
In order to avoid causing further injury to Liu Erlong by bumping along the way, Ye Qifeng did not leap between the branches of the giant trees in the forest, but instead tried to run on the flat forest floor.
Following the guidance of the ghost.
Soon, Ye Qi led Liu Erlong to a natural cave on a small cliff.
The cave space is neither too big nor too small, about a hundred square meters, which is just right.
Moreover, it is dry and well-ventilated, without any dampness or seepage, and the ground is relatively flat, so there will be no smoke or fumes left when you cook food or drink water inside.
Such a natural cave, in the Sunset Forest where there is primeval jungle everywhere, is indeed a rare place to live.
Actually, on the way here, Ye Qifeng had found several places to rest and stay, but Gui Mei did not choose those places, probably because of Liu Erlong.
Ghostly is indeed reliable, meticulous, calm, and thoughtful. He truly deserves to be one of Teacher Bibi Dong's right-hand men.
Ye Qifeng silently praised him a few times.
Ye Qifeng took out a soft cotton blanket from the amethyst crystal ring, laid it flat on the ground, and then gently put Liu Erlong, whom he was holding in his arms, down on the cotton blanket.
Once separated from Ye Qifeng's body, the unconscious Liu Erlong seemed to feel the extreme pain from her injuries again, and her slender eyebrows furrowed unconsciously.
Ignoring the bloodstains on his body, Ye Qifeng quickly took out a simple stove, kettle, water, and smokeless firewood from his amethyst crystal ring and lit a fire to boil water.
Then take out the needles, thread, gauze, scissors, cotton towels and other items needed to treat the wound, and put them all into the kettle to steam together.
As dusk approached, Ye Qifeng took out a bright, luminous gemstone from his amethyst crystal ring.
In an instant, the darkness in the cave was instantly replaced by a bright white light.
This gem was a gift from his teacher, Bibi Dong. It was the one that Bibi Dong took out when he was hunting for spirit rings in the Star Dou Great Forest after he awakened his martial soul at the age of six.
Teacher Bibi Dong always gave him the best things.
Shaking his head slightly, Ye Qifeng placed the fluorescent gem on a high place to the side.
Then, he released his spiritual energy, and within a radius of 100 meters around the cave, he found no ghostly figures, nor did he sense any ghostly spiritual energy.
Ghost seemed to realize what Ye Qifeng was about to do, so it moved away from the cave in advance, consciously restrained its spiritual power, and stopped probing the cave's surroundings.
Ye Qifeng smiled faintly, somewhat satisfied, and didn't think about it any further.
Turning to look at Liu Erlong, her pretty face was covered in blood and was deathly pale. Her brows were tightly furrowed, and fine beads of sweat kept seeping from her forehead, clearly indicating that she was enduring extreme pain.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Qifeng took out another cotton towel, wet it with water, and gently wiped away the blood and sweat from her face, revealing a beautiful face with exquisite features.
His face was unusually pale due to excessive blood loss.
After admiring it for a moment, Ye Qifeng stopped looking at it.
The smokeless firewood was extremely hot, and the water in the kettle quickly boiled. Ye Qifeng used his soul power to cover his hand and pulled out the scissors inside.
The scissors are made of a special metal and are a sewing tool specially designed for cutting the fabric of Soul Masters' battle uniforms.
As for why he carries scissors with him, you'll have to ask Bibi Dong; she prepared them for Ye Qifeng.
"Excuse me!"
Slightly stunned, Ye Qifeng silently apologized, then took the scissors and snipped them a few times, cutting Liu Erlong's black leather outfit into pieces.
There was no other way; her clothes were stuck to her skin and wounds because of the coagulated blood. Forcibly removing them would cause further damage and reopen the wounds.
Therefore, the only option is to cut it into small pieces.
Carefully removing the twenty-odd pieces of clothing stuck to the wound, a smooth, even, and alluring body, with only her undergarments remaining, came into view. Ye Qifeng breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second, he couldn't help but feel a little thirsty.
Liu Erlong's figure was truly exceptional—tall, well-proportioned, snow-white, slender, and perfectly rounded. In particular, the curve of her breasts, accentuated by her bra, was even more exaggerated than that of her teacher, Bibi Dong, making her incredibly alluring.
It's a pity that the beauty of it was slightly marred by the wounds and bloodstains all over its body.
Shaking his head slightly, suppressing his romantic thoughts, Ye Qifeng used his soul power to take out a steamed cotton towel from the boiling kettle, dissipated the heat, and used it to wipe and treat Liu Erlong's wounds and bloodstains.
Suddenly, Ye Qifeng paused.
"Ah, this is a bit difficult. Never mind, saving lives is the priority."
Staring at the horrific wound on Liu Erlong's chest, Ye Qifeng pondered for a long time before finally convincing himself.
So he reached out, took off the last piece of clothing that was already torn, and began to treat his wound.
Outside the cave.
A full moon hung high in the night sky, appearing exceptionally bright.
After treating the wounds and bloodstains, Ye Qifeng took out a needle and thread from the boiling kettle and stitched up some of the more serious wounds on Liu Erlong's body. Then he took out a special medicine, applied it to all the wounds, and bandaged them with boiled gauze.
When all of this is done.
Two full hours had passed.
Ye Qifeng wiped the sweat from his forehead; this was the most tired he had felt in all these years.
The main task was to treat and suture Liu Erlong's wounds, which required extreme care to minimize pain, since there was no anesthesia available.
Although Liu Erlong is currently unconscious, it is hard to guarantee that she will not wake up from the pain.
If she wakes up halfway through, things will get complicated.
In addition, Night Wind must constantly resist the temptations of the moon.
After all, the moonlight is so beautiful and gentle.
In order to prevent the moon from causing trouble, Ye Qifeng was exhausted after a struggle of thoughts.
"Finally done, phew~~~"
After the wound was treated, Ye Qifeng breathed a huge sigh of relief.
"This is the only way for now. After we leave Sunset Forest, we'll find a healing-type Soul Master to help with the treatment."
Ye Qifeng thought to himself.
The healing-type soul masters in Douluo Continent possess some amazing soul skills. As long as the injury is caused by a physical attack, it can almost always be healed after being treated by the healing soul skills.
It does seem somewhat like a manifestation of the laws of life.
But it seems a little different, because some hidden injuries and mental wounds are beyond the help of healing-type Soul Masters.
However, injuries like Liu Erlong's are relatively easy to treat.
Once the stitches are removed and the patient receives treatment with a healing soul skill, the injury will definitely heal completely, leaving not even a scar.
With that thought in mind, Ye Qifeng was no longer worried.
