Chapter 061 Chapter 61 (Second update)
“Tick, tick…”
The little hurricane dog was lying on the hospital bed, its small body was full of various tubes, instruments were ticking beside it, the ward door opened and closed, and the doctor's hurried footsteps came and went, echoing faintly in the silent room.
Xia Muqing stood at the head of the bed, her chin resting on the back of her hand, with distinct dark circles under her eyes.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, but the two mysterious beasts still showed no signs of waking up.
The one who was most seriously injured was the Swift Dog.
According to the doctor, the Swift Dog already had a special potion in its body. This potion primarily acted as an anesthetic, and could be excreted by the profound beast through its internal circulation. However, the little Swift Dog insisted on activating its profound energy while the potion was taking effect, causing severe damage to its meridians.
Later, it suffered another strong mental attack.
That was the last gamble of the Phantom Rhino before its death, containing all its malice and hatred. If it really happened to Xia Muqing, she would either die or go crazy.
And now, the Swift Dog helped her block them all.
After learning all this, Xia Muqing was extremely anxious.
She asked around for beastmasters with powerful healing skills. Friends came to help, the security department invited a veteran healer, Xu Ling brought Ming Yueying and Ye Jingzhi together, Teacher Li and Teacher Ni also helped her find people, even Chi Zi, Teacher Ning Xi, and Xia Muqing, who had added their contact information earlier, sent messages begging for help.
Everyone was very surprised when they heard about this and tried very hard to find a way to help her. But no matter how many people they asked for help or how many healing skills they used, the little hurricane dog remained unconscious.
Finally, a beastmaster took a look at it and gave a very insightful explanation.
"Your profound beast is in a very strange state right now," he said. "Not only is it wounded, but it's also experiencing intense mental fluctuations and a resurgent life force. These forces are entangled and interfering with each other, causing new wounds to open as soon as its wounds heal."
"It's like water and fire blending together, fighting endlessly within the body. This is the real reason why it hasn't awakened yet."
Life force?
Xia Muqing was stunned: "How can there be life energy...Xiao Zi?"
Could it be that on that day, during the Phantom Rhino's final attack, the little caterpillar also tried its best to integrate its own power of revival in order to save Xia Muqing?
"I don't know where this power comes from," the beastmaster shrugged. "But don't worry. My Light Dragonfly said it can sense that the destructive power within this mysterious beast is gradually fading. The power of resurgence has already taken over. I estimate that it won't be long before your Swift Dog recovers."
"If I'm lucky, I can take this opportunity to go one step further."
"After all, after repeated tearing and reassembling, the newly formed meridians will become stronger and stronger, and wider and wider. If it can absorb all this power into its body in one go, transforming it into its own profound energy, then I estimate that it will not be far from evolution."
Hearing her say this, Xia Muqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The people around her relaxed, and Xu Ling hugged her shoulders tightly, wiping away tears of joy: "That's great, Mu Qing, this is great!"
The Swift Dog is fine!
Among the crowd, Sister Wen was the most excited: "Thank you, thank you!"
"I really—ah, I can't even say it. This time, we were able to wipe out the poaching gang thanks to you. But it was really too dangerous. I regret so much that I shouldn't have let you take the risk that day. If Xiaofeng gets irreparably injured because of this, I really will never be able to forgive myself for the rest of my life."
She placed a large pile of healing materials on the bedside: "I'm giving these to you. Do you think they can be of use?"
Xia Muqing looked at the sleeping little hurricane dog on the hospital bed, gently rubbed its little head, and her eyes were slightly red: "It's okay, senior sister, I am also wrong."
Her journey has been so smooth.
Fortunately, according to the therapist, Xiaofeng would recover quickly. Xia Muqing didn't even expect the beastmaster to say that the Swift Dog could improve further. She just hoped that her mysterious beast would be well and lively around her.
Wenxue thought of something else, and her expression suddenly fell again: "But Xia, there's still your little caterpillar..."
The situation of the little caterpillar is more complicated than that of the hurricane dog.
It has already formed a cocoon, which means it is on the road to first-level evolution. Although Xia Muqing did not have time to prepare any evolutionary materials for it, what happened to the little caterpillar could no longer be explained by common sense, and the mystery of emotional energy was beyond everyone's imagination.
After the battle in the old factory, an extremely powerful force emerged in its body, forcing the little caterpillar to rely on the cocoon-making evolution method to digest.
But the most worrying thing is, what form will the little caterpillar take after it evolves?
Could it be the...ghost butterfly that was so brutal and bloodthirsty that day and held such a strong hatred towards humans?
Thinking of this, Xia Muqing rubbed her temples and felt a buzzing pain in her head again.
She sincerely hoped the little caterpillar wouldn't evolve into a ghost butterfly, even though it was visibly powerful. Firstly, such a mysterious beast was likely uncontrollable, and secondly, she didn't want the little caterpillar to suffer so much, having to bear the malice of all the ghosts in its tiny, tender body. She didn't want such a thing to happen again.
"...How about this, Mr. Xia, go to the Beastmaster Association and select some useful cultivation resources. See if you can give the little caterpillar some guidance during the cocooning period?"
Seeing Xia Muqing deeply troubled, Sister Wenxue offered her advice: "There's a huge reward for wiping out the poaching gang. This time it's all your credit, so the entire reward is yours. Go and take a look, is there anything you can use?"
Xia Muqing nodded.
At present, it seems that this is the only way.
…
In the following period of time, Xia Muqing took a long vacation from school and devoted herself to taking care of the two mysterious beasts.
She carefully went through the resource list of the Beastmaster Association several times. Although she found many good things, they were not very useful for the little caterpillar that was in the process of evolving.
The cocoon was so solid that nothing could get through. Xia Muqing brought the exchanged resources next to the cocoon, but she couldn't feed them into the caterpillar's mouth.
Later, all these resources were fed into the mouth of the hurricane dog.
The little koi fish watched from the side, and for once, it didn't fight for it. Not only did it not fight for it, it also took the initiative to give up the dragon pill and placed it at the bedside of the Swift Dog and the Little Caterpillar.
"Gurgle!"
Big brother, you little fools, I have given you the dragon pill, you must get better soon!
Xia Muqing's eyes softened as she stroked its large golden tail and whispered to the two mysterious beasts on the hospital bed, "Xiaofeng, wake up soon. Xiaojin has changed his name to Big Brother."
The Swift Dog had long wanted the Koi Fish to recognize him as "Big Brother," but the Koi Fish was stubborn and arrogant, always calling him "Stupid Dog" and "Stupid Dog." This was the first time Xia Muqing had heard the Koi Fish sincerely call the Swift Dog "Big Brother."
A breeze blew around the head of the bed, causing the Swift Dog's soft fur to tremble slightly.
As its injuries improved, its breathing became longer and longer, as if it was falling into a gentle dream.
…
Yandu.
The weather was clear and cloudless. The entrance to the alien space was crowded. More than one hundred students who had entered the alien space for practical classes had finally returned and were excitedly sharing the interesting things they encountered during practice.
"We encountered a beast king and accidentally angered it. It was a close call! I almost thought I was going to die right there!"
"Luckily, Cheng Shen came here. If he hadn't repelled the beast king, my life would be in danger."
"You're not alone. To be honest, I heard that practical classes at school used to always result in casualties, and students had to sign a waiver before leaving. This time, we were able to return unscathed. Besides thanking the accompanying teacher for his help, we also really have to thank Cheng Zizhuo..."
Whispers were heard everywhere, and the teacher in front of the team shook his head helplessly.
He turned sideways and whispered to the boy next to him in a blue jacket, "Student Cheng, how about you take the practical classes alone from now on, and the school will give you the credits directly?"
"Otherwise, with your protection, we won't be able to train our classmates' adaptability at all."
Cheng Zizhuo was just reading the news, and he smiled when he heard it: "There's nothing I can do, teacher. I can't just watch my classmates die, can I?"
The sun was shining brightly, shining on his thin, fair left wrist. The ice-blue bracelet shone brightly, like a bunch of blue pearls fished out from the depths of a dark lake.
During the time he was in the alien space, his cell phone had no signal and Cheng Zizhuo was always feeling anxious.
Now that he had mobile data, he suddenly became energetic and quickly clicked on the avatar that he had been thinking about for a long time.
【Hello, I came out from another dimension! 】
This practical class was so much fun. On the way back, we happened to pass by the Colorful Stone Beach in District 7. I brought you some interesting gadgets... Didn't your little carp always want to become a dragon?
Having written this, Cheng Zizhuo touched his bulging pockets and couldn't help but smile.
Not far behind him, his roommate rolled his eyes and pulled the classmate next to him: "Son, do you think that once you fall in love with someone, your intelligence will decrease?"
"Look, Cheng Shen used to be such a normal person, but now he's going to take a detour of ten kilometers just to pick up a few broken stones at the Colorful Stone Beach..."
Classmate next to me: “???”
Whose son are you calling?
"I'm your father!"
In front, Xia Muqing had not replied yet. Cheng Zizhuo was stroking the chat interface and was caught off guard by several other bold pop-up windows.
It was Chi Zi's continuous bombardment. Judging from the time of the message, it should have been a few days ago.
Cheng Zizhuo clicked it, took a casual glance, and the smile on his face suddenly froze.
【Have you come out yet? 】
[Hurry up, it’s urgent, it’s extremely urgent!!]
[Xia Muqing's mysterious beast is injured, seriously. If you come out, bring Fairy Caiyun over to take a look!]
[…It’s okay now. I think I’m out of danger.]
"But this little caterpillar... its energy fluctuations are very strange. So strange. When can you go over there and bring me a detector and report the readings?"
Cheng Zizhuo froze in place.
The line was very long, and the students at the back walked forward and accidentally bumped into his shoulder.
"God Cheng, what are you looking at? Why does your face look so ugly?"
His roommate also tilted his head curiously and looked at him for a few seconds: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Should we go to the infirmary?"
Cheng Zizhuo put his phone in his pocket and suddenly ran out with big strides: "It's not me... Zhao Ke, please ask the teacher for leave for me. I have something urgent to do and I'm leaving now!"
Zhao Ke: “……?”
"What's the hurry? Are you in a hurry?"
"You're not even going to take the practical class certificate?"
