Chapter 91: Rescue on the Desolate Planet 14 [Update 1]

"Is this potion only effective for injuries on the upper body?" He Ziqian's face was full of confusion when he asked this question.

"No, it's not that the potion is useless to his lower body, but the injuries on his lower body are healing faster than they are healing. It's those poisonous fungi that are causing trouble. They don't want the injuries on the host body to heal. Perhaps it's because they can't get energy and nutrients from healthy people." As long as it is related to medicine, Ruan Xi's brain has always worked faster than anyone else.

"Is it so magical? Can't we dig out these poisonous fungi? Do an operation or something!" When Ren Wei was very young, a relative of his family was parasitized by an aquatic creature. Eggs were laid all over the body. Once these eggs hatched, they would eat up the parasite in a few minutes, leaving no residue.

Fortunately, the hospital could cure this disease and it could be cured with one operation. Out of curiosity and the mischievousness of his youth, Ren Wei sneaked into the operating room and witnessed the "operation" with his own eyes. It was the first time he felt something was disgusting, so disgusting that he even vomited out his overnight meal.

However, that incident also gave him a new understanding: people can survive even if they are tortured like that.

"Dig them out? That's easy to say. But do you know that most of these poisonous hyphae have become part of the bodies of these two people?" Ruan Xi's words fell like thunder, scaring everyone and making them subconsciously want to take a step back.

Just take a step back, just to build up your courage.

"Become a part of the body? Then are they really still alive? Can they still survive?" Xu Ze spoke bluntly, staring at Ruan Xi intently, determined to know an answer.

Everyone knows that Xu Ze is soft-hearted and will not ask for too much.

"Those poisonous bacteria have become their blood vessels, preventing them from getting nutrients from the blood?" Han Qing touched his chin and spoke softly, but his words made everyone subconsciously pay attention.

"It should be about the same, but I always feel that something is not right..." This is purely Ruan Xi's intuition. He himself can't explain where this intuition comes from, but every time, his intuition is terrifyingly accurate.

"Then continue checking. Your intuition is always accurate." He Ziqian said this as if it was a matter of course. Not only the other members of the Goshawk Team were stunned, but Ruan Xi was also stunned.

Why does He Ziqian seem to know him so well? Is there something wrong?

"...Okay, that's exactly what I meant." Ruan Xi hesitated for a few seconds, then decisively gave up and started a new round of inspections.

He Ziqian served as his assistant, doing whatever he was told to do, and when he had time, he would give new instructions to his team members.

"Search the surrounding area, redraw the map, don't use the original one, and don't forget to find someone."

"Yes, Captain." Everyone answered in unison and left quickly. Only Ruan Xi, He Ziqian and two wounded soldiers were left there.

The two injured people regained consciousness an hour later, but they did not wake up naturally, but were awakened by pain.

"What are you doing!" The one who was obviously younger woke up first. When he opened his eyes, he saw Ruan Xi cutting his brother with a knife. He was so frightened that he immediately screamed.

However, because he was weak, his screams were as feeble as a newborn kitten and had no deterrent effect at all.

"...It can be considered as saving someone." After all, the boy with an angry face in front of him was rescued by him in this way. Isn't he awakened earlier than his companions?

Ruan Xi only glanced at him briefly and continued to busy himself with cutting the other man, which made the boy more and more excited.

"Don't touch my brother! Come at me! You beast..." The boy opened his mouth in fear, his voice weak and powerless, but his aura was surprisingly strong, as if he was going to pounce on Ruan Xi and beat him up at any minute.

However, the next moment, He Ziqian pushed the boy back down with one hand. After struggling for several times, he couldn't get up and could only stare at He Ziqian angrily. However, he seemed a little lacking in confidence. After all, anyone with eyes could see that He Ziqian's aura was much stronger than Ruan Xi's.

"Don't make noise."

Boy: "..." Shit, my brother is about to be cut into pieces by your accomplices, and you actually told me to stop making noise, is there any justice in the world...

The boy was silently cursing in his mind in an endless loop. After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly got stuck and couldn't say a word.

"Brother... Brother... Brother, are you okay?" Seeing his brother who was being cut wake up, the boy was so shocked that he stuttered, but he still did not forget to care about his brother.

"I'm fine, Xiaoliu, don't make trouble. This gentleman is saving me..." This man didn't look much older than the boy, but he seemed to be much calmer. His eyes were full of gratitude when he looked at Ruan Xi and He Ziqian.

"Thank you... Thank you for saving me and my brother, I..." The older boy choked up and couldn't continue.

Only at this time did the little boy realize that he seemed to be quite confused.

"Brother, I was wrong..." The little boy apologized without hesitation, but he didn't dare to apologize directly to Ruan Xi and He Ziqian. Instead, he apologized to his brother, which made his brother laugh and cry.

"Why are you apologizing to me? Find the right person! Apologize to your two saviors!" The older boy shook his head and laughed. He wanted to raise his hand to pat his younger brother on the head as a punishment, but he didn't have the strength to raise his hand.

After some back and forth, the brothers finally figured things out. They no longer dwelled on the past, but looked at Ruan Xi and He Ziqian solemnly.

"Are you ready to tell the secret of this planet?" Ruan Xi hit the nail on the head. The big boy was not surprised. He just stared at him for a long time before slowly smiling.

"A witch doctor once said that our planet is about to face a great disaster. If we meet a noble person, the crisis can be resolved. If we don't meet a noble person, then there is only destruction.

"Witch doctor? Is he a witch doctor who only treats illnesses and prescribes medicine, or is he a witch doctor who can perform shamanic dances?" In the previous life, in ancient times, witch doctors were divided into sorcerers and doctors, and these two were divided into good and evil. Most people could not imagine the twists and turns involved, and they dared not deal with witch doctors easily. After all, if you offended a witch doctor by mistake, you would often die miserably.

"Don't say that! Our witch doctor is our patron saint! He tried his best to protect us, but he still died..." Moreover, even after his death, he still failed to protect the people he wanted to protect.

The little boy choked up as he spoke, and the older boy also lowered his head in dejection. "Our tribe's witch doctor is the best protector!"

"I'm sorry, I don't mean to disrespect you wizards. I just want to clarify what the main duties of your witch doctor are. Because after carefully examining your bodies, I found that there is a strange power, or substance, within you. It allows you to retain a certain amount of vitality after your bodies have been brutally plundered, allowing you to survive."

Otherwise, given how aggressive those poisonous bacteria are, these people shouldn't be alive today.

perhaps……

"Why were you planted in the body of the sea monster?" Ruan Xi suddenly had a new guess. The reason why these natives of the desolate planet were "planted" into the body of the sea monster was not because the sea monster had a need, but because these natives had a need. In other words, the sea monster had no choice but to do so.

"Because, before our witch doctor died, he used up all his strength to lock the energy in our bodies. This is the only way to absorb it." The older boy had a sad face, but spoke with sarcasm. Conflicting emotions intertwined and collided in his chest, making his pale face look a little red and hot.

This is anger, anger towards the shameless invaders.

"As expected... your witch doctor is a great man. He deserves all your respect." Ruan Xi said this sincerely, which made the two brothers very grateful.

"Thank you...ah, look how confused we are. We have said so much but haven't even told you my name. I'm Zhao Lianshan, and he is my sixth brother Zhao Lianshi. I..." Zhao Lianshan got stuck here, as if he had something to hide, with worry and pain on his face.

"Don't worry, we are here to rescue you. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we will not give up on your people." Ruan Xi made a solemn promise. However, just after making the promise, he remembered that it seemed that it was not his turn to make the decision on the Goshawk Squad.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked at He Ziqian beside him with an embarrassed expression.

"Hmm." Unexpectedly, He Ziqian simply said "hmm" and then said nothing else, obviously agreeing with Ruan Xi's statement.

Very easy to talk to!

"Really? People outside know of our existence? Did they really send you to rescue us? How many of you are here?" Zhao Lianshan asked the point right away. Ruan Xi said he didn't quite know how to answer, and he put the blame back on He Ziqian.

This should have been the job of captain He Ziqian!

"There are twelve people in our team, but quality is more important than quantity. What's important is that we can help you get out of trouble." He Ziqian answered Zhao Lianshan's question with just one sentence. After all, the body fragments of the mutant withered vine were still floating in the sea. Even if the Zhao brothers didn't see it, there would be no problem in taking them to the sea to see the scene.

"Of course, you can even kill the mutant withered vine, so you must be able to kill the sea monster. There must be a research institute controlling the sea monster behind the scenes..." Zhao Lianshan gritted his teeth when he mentioned the word "research institute", and Zhao Lianshi's eyes were red with hatred. The two brothers looked like they were ready to rush out and die with the enemy at any time.

"That sea monster is indeed being raised by someone, right? Do you know the exact location of the research institute?" After asking this question, Ruan Xi remembered that they seemed to have been running for their lives since they landed on the barren planet. Were they looking for clues about the research institute on the way?

It sounds particularly unreliable!

"We don't know their exact location, but we roughly know which sea area they are in. However, that sea area is full of whirlpools and undercurrents, making it impossible to get close. If we really want to deal with them, we have to lure them out..." Zhao Lianshan was worried about this, but Ruan Xi and He Ziqian looked relaxed.

"That's why you don't have to worry about it!"
