Chapter 145: One Must Be Sacrificed
"How are you?"
Sang Qing asked anxiously, checking Shi Ying's injuries in a hurry.
Fortunately, the injury is only on the shoulder.
However, this position is also very dangerous. If you go a little lower, you may injure your heart and lungs.
She didn't expect Shi Ying to help her block it.
She didn't give Shi Ying any orders.
Although the contracted beast has the obligation to protect its master, it will be buried with its master if he dies.
But on the way here, in order to prevent herself from having an accident that would affect Shi Ying's performance, she deliberately weakened the mandatory nature of the contract.
Shi Ying was sweating profusely, his entire body soaked with blood. He endured the pain and said hoarsely, "It's okay... Don't worry about me for now, go check on the crystal. Otherwise, we'll attract other beasts or overlords, and the consequences will be disastrous."
He had almost used up his mental strength and was seriously injured, so he could no longer transform into a beast. If another group of strange beasts or lords came, he would be in great danger.
Sang Qing looked at Shi Ying's face which was quickly losing color due to excessive blood loss. He found a medical kit on the ground and roughly wrapped the wound with gauze and Shi Ying's shirt.
Applying medicine to this kind of wound is useless as it will be washed away by the blood. You can only bandage the wound as tightly as possible to slow down the bleeding.
Since the contract did not give any warning, Shi Ying's life should not be in danger for the time being.
Sang Qing helped him to the nearest broken tree stump.
"Hold on for a moment, don't move, I'll be right back."
After all the movements, Sang Qing was sweating a lot. The wet light blue hair on his temples stuck to his cheeks, and his hesitant words were accompanied by panting.
Shi Ying could see that Sang Qing's eyes were always very calm.
Yu Jin was right. The little Bodhisattva had very comprehensive life skills and was very capable of responding to emergencies.
This is not what a pampered female should have. Even if she has lived in a civilian area since childhood, females are still treated preferentially.
Shi Ying looked at Sang Qing's back, and felt a violent vibration in his left chest, unable to tell whether it was pain or throbbing.
The other side.
Bai Xiao and Albatross immediately dealt with the monkey orcs who had transformed into strange beasts.
The riot values of the two also exceeded 90, revealing the characteristics of beasts, but perhaps because Sang Qing had sorted out his spiritual sea, the two did not have a mental riot.
The container has been damaged, and black pollution is still spreading around.
Sang Qing asked Bai Xiao, "What will be the consequences if the pollution on the Star Stone continues to leak?"
"Exotic beasts naturally crave the scent of pollution. To them, pollution is energy, so once they sense the scent of exposed star stones, they will flock to them."
Bai Xiao's gaze shifted from the corpse on the ground to the distance.
"The surrounding strange beasts must have been cleared by Manzhu, so there is no reaction at the moment. If the situation continues to spread, strange beasts from farther away will also rush over."
"If you're unlucky, it's very likely to attract a wave of strange beasts."
Sang Qing also realized the seriousness of the problem. Her fighting power in front of the strange beast was almost zero.
It is obviously unlikely that Bai Xiao and Albatross, two S-level players, can deal with the tide of alien beasts.
"Then can I absorb the Star Stone?"
Sang Qing only knew about crystal cores and did not have a deep understanding of star stones, so he could only rely on Bai Xiao.
Bai Xiao shook his head, "No, although the Star Stone is a good thing, it is also very deadly before it is processed."
"Then there is no other way?"
"Yes." Bai Xiao said solemnly, "The Star Stone can be stored in the body of the Mist Lord or the orcs. It can temporarily cover up the emitted aura."
Bai Xiao glanced at Shi Ying who was not far away, closed his eyes, and turned to Albatross. "I'll take the Star Stone away later. You take the healer and escape in the opposite direction."
"No, Captain, let me go. You take the therapist away. It's better to sacrifice me than to sacrifice the captain. We can still keep the fighting force and take the therapist out of the fog forest." Albatross held Bai Xiao.
Bai Xiao: "Oh my god, you're not as fast as me. There's no point in persisting at this time."
The two of them started fighting over who would take the Star Stone away.
Sang Qing was silent.
Orcs are afraid of pollution. The pollution on the star stone is so heavy that it can cause the existence of a star beast tide.
It is conceivable what the consequences would be if it were stored in an orc's body.
After much difficulty in reducing their riot level, it has now returned to over 90, and they are willing to sacrifice for her.
No matter who goes, it's not the result she wants to see.
But she couldn't think of any other way, so she had to sacrifice one person to fulfill the others.
Otherwise everyone will die.
This feeling of powerlessness is really painful.
Just as Bai Xiao and the other person were arguing and counting the available supplies.
A broken figure crawled laboriously towards the star stone on the ground.
As the beast-like leopard's claws touched the star stone, a painful wail was heard.
"It's Mu Yan! What does he want to do!" Albatross screamed, threw down the combat bag in his hand and was about to rush forward.
Mu Yan's mental power was raging, his face was ferocious, and he grabbed the crystal and swallowed it in one gulp.
Albatross stopped where he was, stunned. "He... ate the crystal...."
"Can males absorb crystals directly?" Sang Qing asked.
Bai Xiao: "No."
Blood flowed from Mu Yan's mouth, eyes, and ears, and his body became strangely stiff due to the extreme pain.
The half of the leg that was left was twitching slightly.
As the hair grows, the animalistic features become more and more obvious, and even seem to be developing in a weird direction.
Mu Yan suddenly turned his head, and his only remaining blood-red eye moved to look at Sang Qing.
Next second.
"puff!"
The beast's claws pierced his chest, and Mu Yan ended his own life.
Sang Qing was stunned.
She couldn't understand that look.
Maybe it's a relief.
The crystal entered the orc's body, and the escaping pollution was temporarily alleviated.
"If I had realized this earlier, I wouldn't have ended up like this." Bai Xiao sighed.
Many people in the First Military Region knew about Mu Yan’s experience, and they sympathized with him, but he should never have been disrespectful to the therapist.
He had seen him lying on the ground, breathing in more than out, and he would die sooner or later, so he didn't waste his energy.
Sang Qing's gaze shifted from Mu Yan to the corpses of several monkey-like monsters nearby.
I just felt dazed.
Why has it come to this?
Originally, they were waiting patiently. After she had treated those with high riot values, it would be their turn.
If any of them can't hold on and their riot value exceeds 90 and they have a mental riot and are in danger of their lives, she will give priority to saving them.
Because it was their own fault, if she didn't save them, she would be alienated and would drag her to death with her.
It shows the meanness and malice of human nature so vividly.
All I can say is, they deserve it.
She also hated that she hadn't dealt with them sooner.
This caused Shi Ying to be seriously injured.
Sang Qing ran back to Shi Ying and found that Shi Ying had already fainted due to excessive blood loss.
The gauze had long been stained with blood.
Sang Qing took Shi Ying's pulse and touched her neck. Her temperature was slowly dropping.
what to do?
If this goes on, Shi Ying's life will be in danger sooner or later.
Albatross went over to check on Manzhu, and Bai Xiao came to Sang Qing.
"Healer, we have to leave now."
"Mu Yan is only A-level. His body won't last long. A body completely eroded by pollution will slowly corrode and disappear."
"In less than an hour or two, the Star Stone will be exposed to the air again, and then exotic beasts will fight over it again."
"Without the container, we can't take the Star Stone away."
Sang Qing found two bottles of nutrient solution and forced Shi Ying to drink them to help him maintain basic physical strength.
She looked up and asked Bai Xiao: "How long will it take to get out of here?"
"If we can fly out directly, it will take a day and a night."
Sang Qing's heart sank. One day and one night was too long.
After getting out, it will take time to get to the hospital.
Given Shi Ying's current condition, it is very likely that she will not be able to hold on until that time.
Bai Xiao was silent for a moment, then continued, "Also, you can only take one out, Manzhu or Lieutenant Colonel Shi."
