Chapter 61: Chapter 61 Small Blood Pill
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
"We and Huang Wen used to be dorm mates, we’re not Xiao Zhe and Xu Hua’s girlfriends. If you don’t believe it, you can ask Huang Wen."
Both of them were trying hard to prove their innocence...
Huang Wen quickly stepped forward and said:
"Yang Xiao, Qin Yu and Deng Xiao really aren’t their girlfriends. They’re both my good sisters. Just take them in. At most, I’ll share my future food with them."
Yang Xiao rolled his eyes at Huang Wen, thinking to himself, "Do we lack food now? Am I that stingy?"
Although Feifei and other girls used to be jealous of Qin Yu and Deng Xiao’s pride due to their looks, they’re all girls and classmates. They sympathize with their situation. When Huang Wen and others initially had no food, Qin Yu and Deng Xiao shared the little food they had with everyone.
"Boss, just take them in. At worst, I’ll go on a diet and eat less."
Yang Xiao tried hard not to laugh when he looked at Feifei’s figure.
Chen Fei and others also pleaded.
Yang Xiao had no choice but to feign helplessness and sighed, saying:
"Alright, since everyone is pleading for you, I can’t refuse you either. By taking you in, I’m taking a risk. Xiao Zhe’s team has over a hundred people and is very strong. They will surely hold a grudge against me. But since you’re here, you must abide by our rules, and we must unite and help each other."
"Yes, thank you, boss!"
Qin Yu and Deng Xiao were overjoyed. They finally escaped Xiao Zhe’s control and could live with dignity like Huang Wen and others.
Just then, everyone heard a scream; it was Xu Hua’s voice.
"Feifei, Dai Yun, Chen Fei, the three of you come with me to have a look, everyone else stays in the camp."
After saying this, Yang Xiao took the Golden Short Sword and walked out of the camp towards the source of the scream.
Xu Hua was lying on the ground, repeatedly letting out painful cries, while Xiao Zhe squatted beside him, at a loss.
"Oh, isn’t this Xu Hua? Didn’t the two of you snatch the sparrow king’s baby? What happened?"
Seeing the dozens of Feathered Arrows on Xu Hua’s back, Yang Xiao felt a twinge of sympathy.
Feifei and the others were a bit scared, not daring to look directly.
Seeing Yang Xiao, Xiao Zhe immediately ran over and said:
"Yang Xiao, please save Xu Hua!"
"Go to the Genetic Store and find Gu Bo, he has healing medicine, just buy it with Crystal Coin."
Xiao Zhe heard this and said calmly:
"Could you please watch over Xu Hua, I’ll go buy the medicine right away."
Shortly after, Xiao Zhe came running back, holding a red Elixir Medicine, shaking it in front of Xu Hua, saying:
"Gu Bo said this is called a Small Blood Pill, specifically for treating external injuries. It works immediately upon consumption, but you need to remove the Feathered Arrows from your body before taking it. You must bear with it."
At this moment, Xu Hua only wanted to survive and didn’t care about the pain, nodding repeatedly.
Xiao Zhe grabbed a Feathered Arrow on Xu Hua’s back and pulled it out forcefully, causing Xu Hua to scream in agony.
These Feathered Arrows were embedded about 3 or 4 cm into Xu Hua’s back, and pulling them out was indeed painful.
Xiao Zhe felt it was a bit cruel and cast a pleading look at Yang Xiao, who smiled, squatted down, grabbed a Feathered Arrow, and deliberately pulled it out slowly.
"Ah!"
Xu Hua let out another scream.
"Xu Hua, bear with it. It will be over soon. Oh man, these sparrows are really ruthless, turning you into a porcupine. Luckily, you have Copper Skin. If it were me, I’d probably be dead by now."
As Yang Xiao spoke, he slowly continued to pull out the Feathered Arrows. Xu Hua, unable to endure the pain, pleaded:
"Yang Xiao, please, pull faster."
Yang Xiao initially intended to teach Xu Hua a lesson since this guy had always been undisciplined with him. Now was finally a chance to set him straight. However, hearing his cries, Yang Xiao felt a bit merciful. After teasing him a few times, he sped up and swiftly pulled out all the Feathered Arrows from Xu Hua’s back.
Xu Hua, who was yelling at first, tilted his head, passing out from the pain.
"Alright, all done, Xiao Zhe, quickly give him the Small Blood Pill for the treatment. Fainting from such a little pain? Are you even a man?"
Xiao Zhe hurriedly placed the red pill into Xu Hua’s mouth and gently supported him, letting him rest on his shoulder.
Yang Xiao noticed the miraculous effect of the Small Blood Pill, observing Xu Hua’s wounds healing before his eyes. It took about ten minutes for Xu Hua’s injury to heal completely, without leaving any scars.
"Oh wow, this Small Blood Pill is truly amazing. I need to buy more of these to carry around."
Xiao Zhe sneered:
"Do you know how much a Small Blood Pill costs in Crystal Coin?"
"How much?"
"10 Crystal Coins each."
10 Crystal Coins?
Even Yang Xiao couldn’t help but click his tongue.
For them, Crystal Coins were extremely precious. 12 Crystal Coins were needed to purchase a Genetic Potion.
Yang Xiao and Xiao Zhe, with more than 60 team members, had been laboring by the waterhole for two days, gathering only a little over a hundred Genetic Fragments in total, averaging about four per person.
Four Genetic Fragments weren’t even enough to buy one Small Blood Pill for treating external injuries.
After Xu Hua’s wound healed, he slowly regained consciousness, still somewhat weak. Xiao Zhe arranged for his team to carry Xu Hua back to the camp for rest.
Yang Xiao asked:
"Did you kill the sparrow king?"
"Yes."
Xiao Zhe nodded.
"What treasures did the sparrow king drop?"
"Don’t mention it, though three items dropped, we didn’t get any of them. Out of thirty team members, most were killed or wounded. Except for the ten who managed to escape first, everyone else in the waterhole was shot by the sparrows. If I hadn’t escaped quickly, I’d be dead too."
"Serves you right. It’s greed, wasn’t it? Originally, we could have just watched the sparrows and tilapia fight, but you had to act prematurely. Now, not only did you not get the sparrow king’s treasures, but you also missed the tilapias in the waterhole too. There are at least twenty giant tilapias, and my tilapia king!"
Yang Xiao spoke with a pained, regretful expression.
Xiao Zhe was momentarily stunned, awkwardly saying:
"We were too reckless. So, when will we go to the waterhole again?"
"Go again? The sparrows are definitely guarding the waterhole now, waiting for the water to dry up before they eat the tilapias. You’ve already made enemies by killing the sparrow king. The sparrows will attack on sight. I’m not willing to risk my life!"
"But..."
Xiao Zhe looked unwilling to give up.
"But what?"
"The waterhole will eventually dry up, and once the sparrows finish the fish there, they should leave, right?"
"You’re right, but it will take at least ten days for the water at the center of the waterhole to dry up. I’m not going near that place for ten days, you can go if you want."
Yang Xiao said calmly, shaking his head.
Xiao Zhe was terrified of the sparrows, still traumatized. Without Yang Xiao leading, he dared not risk his life going back there.
