Chapter 58

The green-haired monster that lunged at Xu Gang and She Lin was also taken down, leaving a pool of green blood on the ground. The smell was like that of rotten eggs, making it extremely unbearable.

At this moment, Zhang Tianyuan was almost lying on the ground. He had just competed in strength with the green-haired monster, and although he narrowly won, he was almost completely drained. Now, he could only gasp for breath and didn't want to do anything else.

"Since there's no danger now, let's move quickly. We'll head to the mountains ahead and find a cave to take shelter. There are grasses all around here, and if we get surrounded, it will be disastrous." She Lin said anxiously.

"But Brother Zhang is still injured." Lan Fenghuang said, dissatisfied.

She Lin glanced at Zhang Tianyuan's injuries and frowned. The injuries were severe, with one wound so deep that the bone was visible, the flesh was pale and raw, and it looked painful. Despite this, Zhang Tianyuan didn't even let out a single cry, which was quite impressive.

"In this case, let's urgently treat the wound to prevent infection. The rest of you prepare everything. Once Tianyuan's wound is treated, we'll set off." She Lin said.

"I'll help!" Liu Mengxun, who hadn't participated in the fight, was probably the cleanest one at the moment. The others had varying amounts of green blood on them, and there was no water to wash it off, so it was most appropriate for Liu Mengxun to clean and bandage the wound.

She had learned first aid at school, which was important for her archaeology major.

Liu Mengxun tried to help Zhang Tianyuan sit up, but unexpectedly, due to his exhaustion, his body wouldn't obey him, and he fell directly into her arms, his head resting on her proud bosom.

Although it was early spring and Liu Mengxun was dressed warmly, the contact still made her feel a bit embarrassed. She pushed Zhang Tianyuan, but ended up letting him lie on her lap and began to carefully clean the wound.

"Tsk tsk, you really know how to enjoy life, lying on a beauty's lap. You've got it made!" Xu Gang teased.

"Go to hell, I'm out of energy. If I had the strength, I'd beat you up." Zhang Tianyuan scolded, in a bad mood.

Actually, Xu Gang knew him too well. This sentence hit the mark. In fact, Zhang Tianyuan was secretly enjoying it. He was a normal man, how could he resist the allure of beauty? Especially since this woman was the one he had decided to pursue.

Don't be fooled by Liu Mengxun's usually quiet demeanor; when it came to bandaging wounds, she seemed like a different person.

She first heated a dagger over the fire to sterilize it, then used alcohol to clean Zhang Tianyuan's wound.

Considering that Zhang Tianyuan might bite his tongue from the pain, Liu Mengxun specifically brought a piece of rabbit meat and put it in his mouth: "Bite this and don't let go, it's for your safety!"

Indeed, when the alcohol touched the wound, it was excruciatingly painful. Fortunately, Zhang Tianyuan had something to bite, or he might have bitten his tongue off.

He originally planned to use the healing technique from the Six-Word True Sutra to repair his wound, but he thought it was inappropriate. With so many people watching, if his deep, bone-exposing wound healed instantly, he would look like a monster.

Reluctantly, he could only let Liu Mengxun help bandage the wound. After the bandaging was done, he would consider using the healing technique, so no one would see.

"Does it hurt?" Liu Mengxun asked.

Zhang Tianyuan nodded, unable to speak, only able to indicate this way.

"Endure it, this is just the beginning. It will hurt more later... Phoenix, help hold him down. I'm afraid he might react too strongly." Liu Mengxun glanced at Lan Fenghuang and said.

Lan Fenghuang agreed, and this was also an opportunity for her to be close to Zhang Tianyuan. She grabbed Zhang Tianyuan's hands and sat on him, firmly holding him down. She seemed to have done this before, probably having encountered similar situations, so she looked very skilled.

"Starting..." Liu Mengxun finally began to use the knife.

After cleaning the wound with alcohol, she used the knife to cut out the flesh that had been corroded by the green blood. There was no anesthetic, and Zhang Tianyuan felt like he was in the same situation as Guan Yu, who had his bone scraped to treat an injury.

Fortunately, his earth qi could reduce the pain, or he would have fainted from the pain, which would have been embarrassing.

Even so, when Liu Mengxun started using the knife, he convulsed like a patient having a seizure, scaring Lan Fenghuang into pressing her entire body onto him to stop his thrashing.

However, due to his convulsions, the rabbit meat in his mouth fell to the ground. In a panic, he ended up biting Lan Fenghuang's shoulder.

Lan Fenghuang almost cried from the pain, but seeing Zhang Tianyuan, she forced herself to endure it, not even crying out. After all, Zhang Tianyuan's injury was from saving her, and she felt that even if he bit her, it was nothing compared to giving him her entire arm.

At that moment, Lan Fenghuang even felt a bit happy. Being bitten by the man she liked, she knew she would never forget it.

After the wound was treated, Liu Mengxun sprinkled some Yunnan Baiyao from the first aid kit onto the wound and then bandaged it with medical gauze.

"The situation isn't too bad. Although the bone is visible, it's not damaged. As long as the wound doesn't get infected, it will be fine." Liu Mengxun said to Zhang Tianyuan while tidying up.

The worst thing about wounds is infection. Initially, Liu Mengxun was worried that the green-haired monster's claws might be poisonous, but now it seemed that the problem wasn't as serious as she thought. Zhang Tianyuan showed no signs of poisoning, which was a good thing.

"Thank you." Zhang Tianyuan said weakly.

"You should thank Phoenix more. Look at what you did to the poor girl." Liu Mengxun shook her head with a bitter smile.

Zhang Tianyuan then realized that he had bitten Lan Fenghuang. He looked at her, about to ask, but the girl smiled and said, "It's fine, I'm wearing thick clothes, no tooth marks."

Mou Ying, who was watching from the side, nudged Xu Gang with her elbow and whispered, "My old classmate is in trouble."

"Trouble? I think it's a love affair." Xu Gang sneered.

"What do you know? This kind of entangled love triangle is the most troublesome. I think Zhang Tianyuan is too naive about matters of the heart, he doesn't seem to understand at all." Mou Ying shook her head.

"He? He definitely doesn't understand. If he did, he wouldn't have been dumped so many times. Don't look at that smart guy; he's a complete idiot when it comes to love. He's already been given two 'good person cards' and just knows how to be nice to people, not knowing what girls really want. Sigh." Xu Gang sighed, also feeling helpless.

Mou Ying, of course, knew this because she and Zhang Tianyuan were college classmates. She knew Zhang Tianyuan's character well, but unfortunately, the better a man is, the more he tends to be a pushover. Many women at most treat you as a backup, and in the end, they give you a 'good person card,' saying how good you are but that you're not right for them.

As a girl, Mou Ying was very annoyed by such women, but what could she do? This was the reality.

For Zhang Tianyuan to be favored by two girls this time was no easy feat. This might be the first time he was being pursued by girls. It was unknown how he would handle it. Matters of the heart can't be helped, just let it take its natural course.

After bandaging Zhang Tianyuan, the group set off. This place was not only stinky but also lacked a place to hide, making it very unsafe.

Zhang Tianyuan, who couldn't even walk, was carried by Lan Fenghuang. The girl was strong, and you couldn't help but admire her.

Lying on Lan Fenghuang's shoulder, Zhang Tianyuan didn't idle. He mobilized his earth qi and began to use the healing technique from the Six-Word True Sutra to repair his wound.
