Chapter 285 Exchange for Strength Pills

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to help you." Lin Ting spoke softly, trying his best to calm the little fox.

"That's right, meow. This is meow's sister. She's a good person."

Fat Tiger moved closer to the little fox and rubbed against it.

Although the two animals did not speak the same language, the little fox could feel Fat Tiger's friendliness, especially since Fat Tiger had just helped it open a trap, although it didn't open in the end.

It thought Fat Tiger didn't care about it, so it ran away. It felt a little disappointed at that time.

Especially when he was in danger, he wanted to grab a life-saving straw when he saw one. Unexpectedly, Fat Tiger did not abandon it, but went back to ask humans for help.

The little fox slowly lowered his head for his narrow-minded misunderstanding.

"I'll help you open the trap first. It might be a little painful, so bear with it for a while and don't struggle. Wait for me to open the trap and apply the medicine to you."

Lin Ting rubbed the little fox's head, then pulled the trap hard.

It was unknown how long this trap had been thrown in the woods. The entire trap was covered in rust, and it didn't open smoothly. Even as she moved, the trap continued to tighten on its own.

It seems that this trap was specially modified by them to prevent the captured animals from escaping. As long as the animal struggles, the trap will not loosen, but will shrink tighter and tighter, leaving the small animal no chance to take advantage.

Similarly, if she couldn't open the trap in one go, the continuously shrinking trap would directly break the little fox's entire leg as she exerted force.

The contraction force of this trap is very strong. Lin Ting is not sure whether he can succeed in one go, so he can only ask for help from the small system.

"Tongzi, can you help me open it?"

[My dear, you are really putting me in a difficult position. I am just an ordinary person, not a real person. You can ask me to scan it, but it is absolutely impossible for me to help you open it.]

However, the system mall recently released a new powerful pill, obtained from another system. Once taken, it grants immense strength, though the effect only lasts for ten minutes. Since it's a new product, the price is low, and you only need 200 points to redeem it.

Hearing this, Lin Ting expressed some doubt.

"Two hundred points for a powerful pill. Are you sure you're not trying to trick me?"

“It doesn’t sound credible no matter how you listen to it.”

"Does this medicine have any side effects or harm to the body? Have you conducted any drug trials, or is your so-called new stage just finding hosts from various worlds to use as guinea pigs?"

"No, absolutely not. How could I cheat the host? The price is indeed a bit cheaper. As for whether there are any side effects, I don't know. I read the instructions carefully, and they don't mention it. They only say that it can increase your strength infinitely within ten minutes."

[Host, would you like me to help you ask other systems in the system forum? However, asking other systems will cost a small price.]

[Other systems won't answer our questions for no reason. Even if they do, they still need to exchange points for answers.]

“When will we get an answer?”

[I don't know. It depends on other systems.]

“That’s the unknown.”

【The host has found out again. 】

The small system felt guilty for a moment, and even its virtual figure became more ethereal.

Si Chen and the others were all in the cave, so she couldn't just call them over. With her strength, she could open the trap, but she couldn't guarantee that she could open it in one go. If she failed, the price would be the little fox's leg.

She couldn't afford to gamble.

She had just tried it, but the trap was very tight. If she didn't have enough strength, she might not be able to open it in one go.

After much deliberation, Lin Ting contacted the small system again, "Please use 200 points to exchange for the Power Pill for me."

[Okay, the Dali Pills have been exchanged successfully and will be sent to the host's account. Please check it carefully.]

There was indeed an extra black pill in Lin Ting's hand. It looked ordinary, just like the Chinese medicine pills prescribed by the hospital. Lin Ting swallowed the black pill with suspicion.

The moment the pill entered her stomach, Lin Ting could clearly feel that her body became much lighter. She picked up a thick branch from the ground and with just a little force, the branch was easily broken in her hand like a toothpick.

The pills given by the system mall are indeed effective.

Lin Ting comforted the little fox lying on the ground again, "Bear with it."

As he spoke, Lin Ting grabbed the two ends of the trap with both hands and pulled hard. The trap was opened instantly and the little fox's legs were caught in the teeth of the trap.

Woo

"It hurts, it hurts, is the fox's leg gone?"

"The leg is still there, but the injury is more serious."

Knowing that he might encounter animals injured by hunters when he came to Bailu Mountain, Lin Ting specially stuffed a lot of useful medicinal herbs into his bag.

As she spoke, she turned on the flashlight, dug out a bottle of painkillers from her bag, poured out a pill and put it to the little fox's mouth, "Take a painkiller first, the pain will subside in a while."

While feeding the little fox medicine, Lin Ting began to communicate with the system, "Tongzi, please help me check the little fox's health."

The little fox is in good health, with a health value of 80%. However, its leg is severely injured, with skin and flesh stuck together and sharp metal objects damaging the bones. There is also a risk of infection, so it requires prompt medical attention. Without timely treatment, the little fox's health value will drop.

Lin Ting felt relieved when he knew that the little fox was not injured anywhere else.

"Can I help you heal your injury?" Lin Ting said in a gentle tone and took out all the medicines he could use from his bag.

"Thank you, humans."

Lin Ting first injected local anesthesia into the little fox. After the anesthesia took effect, he used a razor to remove the hair near the wound, then used anti-inflammatory drugs, applied medicine, and bandaged it. Ten minutes passed after he finished all this.

She clearly felt the effect of the powerful pills dissipating, but she didn't feel anything else.

It seems to be just as the small system said, with no other side effects.

While Lin Ting was thinking, she felt a ball of fur rubbing her wrist carefully. She looked down and met the little fox's watery eyes.

Woo

"Sister, can you please save Fox's mother?"

"What's going on?" Lin Ting asked in a cold voice.

The little fox lowered his eyes when asked, and an air of sadness emanated from his whole body.

"There were hunters everywhere, so the foxes didn't dare go out hunting. The fox was starving, so the mother went out to find food. After finally finding something to eat, she ran into two bad guys with hunting rifles on the way home. When the foxes heard the gunshots and came out, they found their mother had already been shot. While they weren't paying attention, the mother bit the bad guys and ran away."

"Mom's wound keeps bleeding. No matter how Fox tries to stop the bleeding, it seems like the wound won't stop."

"My mother also told me to let the fox protect itself and not to bother with it."
