In Ward No. 10, a huge alien beast lay half-dead, its shell almost shattered, bloody and mangled, with a few small pieces of shell that had fallen off, along with some broken pieces of flesh.
After seeing the injuries of the swamp alligator snapping turtle, He Mo's face looked a little heavy. Although its injuries had been controlled and were no longer getting worse, the damage to its shell was enough to completely destroy the defensive ability that the alligator snapping turtle was proud of. In other words, even if the alligator snapping turtle's injuries healed, its shell would no longer have such strong defensive capabilities.
"Doctor He, how is Xiaoyue?" Li Xing, who had been guarding here since last night, had bloodshot eyes, and it was obvious that he had not slept all night.
"After being repaired by the therapeutic device last night, its life is basically stable. It will still need a long period of treatment to recover. These are secondary. The main thing is that its shell will be unusable in the future." He Mo said reluctantly. The alligator snapping turtle's special ability is defense. Without its shell, its combat effectiveness will drop directly to the lowest point. Perhaps just an ordinary beast can easily defeat it.
After hearing what He Mo said, Li Xing in front of him looked as pale as death.
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't been too aggressive last night, Xiaoyue wouldn't have broken her shell to protect me." Li Xing, a big man, just shed tears with regret in his eyes.
Last night, Li Xing and Xie Jun went out to perform a mission, and He Mo met them halfway. Unexpectedly, the swamp alligator snapping turtle that had left the medical team two days ago was carried back last night with wounds all over its body.
He Mo couldn't help but feel a little angry. "You are the owner of the swamp snapping turtle. It protected you during the mission and lost most of its life for it. And now you, a grown man, are crying here?! I really feel sorry for the swamp snapping turtle!"
Li Xing's heart suddenly shook, tears still remained on his face, these tears seemed to be mocking his incompetence and weakness.
Li Xing wiped his tears with his sleeves, his eyes gradually becoming resolute: "Doctor He, you are right. Xiaoyue has sacrificed so much for me. No matter what, I can't give up on her."
Just because it can't be cured now doesn't mean it can't be cured in the future. There are many talented people on the Central Star, and there are many exotic beasts with healing abilities. He takes Xiaoyue to visit them one by one, and he will definitely be able to find a way to make Xiaoyue recover. Li Xing made such a decision in his heart.
"Alright." Seeing that Li Xing's condition had improved, He Mo waved his hand. "I know there are many healing treasures in the Exotic Beast Forest. You have formed a bond with the Swamp Snapping Turtle, so you should be able to vaguely sense what it needs. If you have time, go to the Exotic Beast Forest and look for it. You might be able to find some herbs to assist with the treatment."
The Forest of Strange Beasts, yes, Li Xing's eyes lit up. He once heard Xiaoyue say that when it was young, it had swallowed a magical plant. Since then, the defense ability of its shell has far exceeded that of its peers. If he can find another plant, maybe Xiaoyue will get better soon.
As for the horrors in the forest, Li Xing subconsciously ignored them. As long as he could make Xiaoyue better, he was willing to try anything.
Without further ado, Li Xing had an idea in his mind and he could not sit still. He solemnly asked He Mo to take good care of Xiaoyue and went to his superior to ask for leave to go out.
It was not known whether Li Xing was reliable or not. He Mo looked at the forest in the distance with some worry. Among the spiritual medicines he saw last night, there happened to be a plant that could help the alligator snapping turtle. Although it could not completely recover, with this spiritual medicine and long-term care, it could still recover 30%.
The alligator snapping turtle's injuries were indeed very serious. He Mo used the power of the stars to nurse it back to health and discovered that in addition to a broken shell, even the five internal organs underneath the shell were damaged. He didn't know what they had encountered last night that caused the swamp alligator snapping turtle to be so injured.
He Mo silently used star energy to protect the alligator turtle's internal organs. The alligator turtle's limbs were still twitching in coma, but they suddenly calmed down. He Mo breathed a sigh of relief. Although high-tech instruments were very useful, they were still unable to detect some abnormal conditions in the body of the alien beast. Now he used star energy to protect the alligator turtle's internal organs. After energy conditioning, these minor injuries would heal soon.
The most troublesome thing is the turtle shell. The alligator snapping turtle's defensive ability is closely related to the turtle shell. If the turtle shell is broken, the foundation of the ability will be severely damaged. It is still a question whether the ability can be preserved.
The Fifth Legion has strict military orders. Li Xing wants to ask for leave to go deep into the forest of exotic beasts to search for elixirs, but it is too late today. After going through all the procedures, Li Xing can't go out until at least tomorrow. However, the alligator snapping turtle is seriously injured, so it is natural to use the elixirs as soon as possible. The sooner the treatment is done, the better the effect.
After thinking for a moment, He Mo decided to pick the spiritual medicine he encountered tonight. When Li Xing found another spiritual medicine, the alligator snapping turtle's injuries would recover as soon as possible.
It's late at night again.
He Mo nimbly came out of the Fifth Legion and headed towards the place where the elixir was discovered yesterday. He skillfully changed his route and kept dodging the strange beasts that came out to look for food. There were no less than dozens of strange beasts along the way, including high-level ones. Before they got close, a powerful pressure was already upon them. If it weren't for He Mo's keen senses, he would probably have become their meal after encountering so many strange beasts.
He Mo spent a lot of time and energy along the way. When he approached the place where he found the elixir last night, his face and body were covered with a thin layer of sweat. When he stepped onto this land, He Mo clearly felt that something was wrong here.
The location of the elixir had not changed at all, there were no footprints on the grass, and the sound of insects continued, but as soon as I stepped in here, I always had a feeling of being spied on. This spied on was not malicious, but rather brought some other emotions.
He Mo observed his surroundings calmly. The shadows of the trees were swaying, and there was only the whistling sound of the wind and the occasional roar of strange beasts. Everything seemed normal.
Could it be that he was feeling wrong? He Mo withdrew his gaze, feeling somewhat puzzled. On the surface, he relaxed his guard and moved closer to the elixir that could cure alligator snapping turtles, but in fact, he was still observing everything nearby.
This spiritual medicine has been growing here for nearly a hundred years. It is already deep in the forest of exotic beasts and passes through the territories of many powerful exotic beasts. For the king of exotic beasts who reigns supreme here, these hundred-year-old spiritual medicines are everywhere and he does not take them seriously. Therefore, this spiritual medicine has not been eaten for so long.
The temperature in this place is relatively low, so it isolates most of the exotic animals and wild beasts. It is really lucky to be able to grow in such an open and flat place for nearly a hundred years without being harmed.
The whole plant of this spiritual medicine can be used as medicine. He Mo was not greedy and left it with a root. At the same time, he used the power of the stars to nourish its roots. In this way, even if he picked the exposed part, the roots could still push out a small bud after a few months.
He Mo heaved a sigh of relief after successfully picking the elixir. There was no unusual movement around him, and he was about to leave when a small mound suddenly emerged from the ground. A fiery red centipede nimbly emerged from it and bit towards He Mo's wrist like an arrow.
It turned out to be hidden in the soil. He Mo's eyes narrowed, and before the centipede left the soil, he pulled out a small sharp knife from his sleeve...
Unexpectedly, a tender little claw fell from the sky and grabbed the centipede tightly. Then the furry body fell lightly to the ground without making a sound.
The centipede was easily crushed to death. The little guy lowered his head in annoyance, turned around and ran away. How could he not control himself and ran out? He had not yet thought about what to say when they met for the first time.
Before he had run two steps, the little guy heard a familiar voice calling from behind him, and he couldn't help but stop running after deliberately shrinking his body.
"Xiao Ba..."
He Mo looked at the little guy in the dark and said in a trembling voice with disbelief.
