Her face was pale as paper, her lips had lost their color, and they were trembling slightly. Each breath she took seemed extraordinarily heavy, like a traveler who had walked through the desert for days without water, extremely weak, yet stubbornly clinging to the spark of life.
Fen's breathing and heartbeat, once intense, were now steadily weakening.
The situation looked grim... Chen Qi inquired,
"Is there a doctor on board?"
The Blood Lady nodded:
"I have some medical skills, please follow me."
Chen Qi, carrying Fen on his back, followed the Blood Lady, stepping over rainwater into the cabin of the Blood Blade vessel.
...
...
Inside the medical room.
Chen Qi carefully placed Fen from his back onto the couch and then gently onto the bed, wrapping her bleeding parts with bandages.
"Fen, relax, it's going to be okay..."
Fen quietly lay on a clean bed, her body wrapped in soft bandages, her pale face and weak breathing still revealing the immense pain she was enduring.
"I apologize, Black Hunter, we, the Blood Blade Pirate Group, were unable to stop Carol..."
The Blood Lady apologized while preparing a bowl of medicinal soup, and once it was at the right temperature, she used a spoon to pry open her lips and pour the medicine into the Flower Witch's body.
Following that, she opened her hands wide, and a green Spiritual Power emerged from her fingertips, forming a faint green mist.
Healing Technique!
Amid the healing mist and the soup, the Flower Witch's breathing gradually stabilized, but the blood from the wound did not stop.
The Blood Lady bit her lip:
"Black Hunter, I apologize, I cannot normally heal the Flower Witch's wounds with my abilities..."
Why does the Blood Lady, as a Legend, seem so fond of apologizing... Chen Qi thought for a moment and replied,
"Blood Blossom Disease, this disease increases the difficulty of healing wounds for the Flower Witch."
The Blood Lady's mouth fell open:
"Blood Blossom Disease?"
The Flower Witch actually has such a rare disease!
"Can it be treated?"
Chen Qi inquired.
The Blood Lady lowered her head, pondering for a while:
"Blood Blossom Disease is extremely rare in Shell Country, it's my first encounter. Keeping her alive is not difficult, but full recovery might require rarer medicinal materials, which may take some time to procure."
Is that so... Chen Qi nodded, touching Fen's feverish forehead.
Fortunately, Fen's activation of 'release' wasn't long, and the injuries were still within a controllable range.
Then, the Blood Lady emphasized again:
"Don't worry, Mr. Black Hunter, you were on your mission to the naval research abandoned base on our behalf, yet we couldn't get there in time..."
Feeling guilty for the delayed rescue, the Blood Lady bowed slightly deeper, her blood-red long hair falling to the ground, her hand on her chest:
"Rest assured, Mr. Black Hunter, from now on, the Blood Blade Pirate Group won't fail their benefactors, we will do our utmost to ensure the Flower Witch's quick recovery."
"Hmm..."
Chen Qi nodded.
The Blood Lady being such a legend, yet too gentle in her tone.
However, it indeed was a good thing... Chen Qi's heart couldn't help but feel joyful. Stay updated via empire
After a series of events, the Flower Witch and the Blood Blade Pirate Group had once again become allies.
But the price paid was also particularly heavy.
Chen Qi lowered his head, looking towards Fen.
To fully recover, the Flower Witch would still need at least ten days.
Bang bang!
Sounds of knocking came from outside the door!
The Blood Lady covered the Flower Witch with a bedsheet, saying coldly:
"Come in."
A petite figure, along with a large figure, pushed open the door and entered the medical room.
It was the veteran Gail, and Little Red Hood.
"Blood Lady, and Black Hunter, hello! I am a warrior of the Blood Blade Pirate Group, also once a navy!"
After a brief introduction by veteran Gail, he patted Little Red Hood, signaling her to bow and thank them.
Little Red Hood stalled for a moment, then bowed.
Chen Qi asked:
"Mr. Gail, what's the situation outside the ship?"
Veteran Gail replied in a deep voice:
"Rest assured, no vessel dares to enter within my arm's reach."
As he said this, veteran Gail looked towards the injured Flower Witch and sighed deeply:
"I am really sorry, it was our matter, yet you faced such grave danger."
Safe at last... Chen Qi, feeling relieved, managed a smile and said:
"No, Fen and I were also going to the Land of Trial, it's very important for us as well."
"No, if it weren't for you! With Fenrir, and those brats from Dagger, it would be impossible to even reach the naval discarded research land, let alone step into the Land of Trial!!!"
Veteran Gail took a swig of strong liquor and sat down:
"Now, under the Crack Tide, our young people in the Blood Blade Pirate Group are really too cowardly, they can't even properly defend their own territory."
As he spoke, veteran Gail glanced at Little Red Hood beside him:
"Just like this little guy next to me, always causing trouble!! Someone confessed to her, and she beat them up!"
"I..."
Little Red Hood clenched her fists, her face turning red, and she looked towards the Blood Lady.
At that moment, the Blood Lady smiled slightly and asked:
"Gail, why are there so many pursuers now in this ocean? It's supposed to be just the naval base's research materials, not enough to draw the Bonfire Energy Hunter Group from Ionic Isle."
Currently, the warships near Red Maple Island, as well as over fifty ships!
This involves more than five major forces!
This has become a massive scale, even the collision of these ships could spark a major war.
