Chapter 63

Looking at Zhao Xinxin, who was already unconscious on the hospital bed, her whole body wrapped in bandages with only her eyes exposed, He Dong’s eyes blazed with anger, the veins on his temples bulging, and his tightly clenched fists trembling uncontrollably.

"Doctor, how is Xinxin now? When will she wake up?" He Dong forcibly suppressed his anger and asked the doctor.

"The patient's total burn area has reached over 50%, with inhalation injuries to the respiratory tract and mild infections in the lungs, making it difficult for her to breathe on her own. We are also concerned about the possibility of sepsis. Therefore, her condition is not optimistic, and she is at constant risk of losing her life," the doctor said in a low voice.

"What... What should we do?" Upon hearing that Zhao Xinxin’s condition was very dangerous, Meng Jing, who was standing beside him and crying, became even more panicked.

"Currently, we don’t have a good solution. We can only strengthen her nutrition and inject antibiotics to fight the infection. If we can get through the infection, her life will be mostly saved. However, even if her life is saved, the patient’s appearance will...!" the doctor explained.

"Doctor, as long as she can be saved, I am willing to pay any price," He Dong’s expression instantly darkened, but he still said a cliché yet heartfelt statement.

"We will do our best!" the doctor nodded and said.

Zhao Xinxin was now in the intensive care unit, and He Dong and the others could not stay for long. Although they wished to stay by Zhao Xinxin’s side all the time, they eventually had to leave with great pain.

Outside the intensive care unit, Lei An, Wang Xuewu, and even Wang Xuewen were waiting there. However, he came with a small entourage, and no one knew that among those waiting outside the ICU, there was actually a mayor.

"Damn it, I won’t let this go if I find out who did this!" Wang Xuewu angrily punched the wall.

"Xiao Dong, I have already instructed Sun Kailiang to investigate this matter thoroughly!" Wang Xuewen said seriously.

"Lord Dong, all the people from Lei An Security are out looking for the culprit. We will dig up the earth to find the murderer!" Lei An’s aura was fierce, and Zhao Xinxin’s injury made him feel very guilty towards He Dong.

"Thank you all!" He Dong’s voice was very low, then he turned his gaze to Meng Jing. Before He Dong arrived, Meng Jing had already fainted once due to her grief, and her body was now extremely weak. "Mom, don’t worry, Xinxin will be fine!"

"Xinxin got hurt to save me! We must save her! Save her!" Meng Jing’s emotions were still very unstable.

"Mom, don’t worry, I promise Xinxin will be fine!" He Dong said, gesturing for Lei An to take his mother away temporarily.

Since his residence had been attacked, He Dong was no longer willing to let his family continue living there, so he had already arranged for Lei An to find a new place for them to stay.

After Meng Jing was taken away, He Dong’s expression suddenly turned grim. He had already understood the entire incident very clearly.

At first, He Dong thought that the fireball Meng Jing mentioned might have been a dangerous item like a Molotov cocktail. However, after the on-site investigation, all possible dangerous items that could produce a fireball were ruled out. Even with the help of special forces and military weapon experts arranged by Wang Xuewen, no discoveries were made.

This directly made the attack on Zhao Xinxin and the others a mystery. However, this mystery made He Dong extremely uneasy, as he had already solved it: someone had indeed used the fireball spell from fire magic to attack his family. He was so sure because he had found traces of fire magic elements at the scene.

"Is there anyone else on Earth who knows fire magic besides me?" He Dong suddenly felt a sense of fear that many things were beyond his control.

This fear gave He Dong a sense of urgency. He began to secretly review all his skills. He knew the wood magic entanglement spell, the water magic water ball spell, the fire magic fireball spell, and the fire shield spell. His body had been enhanced with leg jumping power, vision, and defense. His strength had also significantly increased, and his hands, when combined with a幻兽 (phantom beast), could tear through metal. Besides these, he also had auxiliary abilities like transformation, breath control, and danger detection.

Seeing the abilities he possessed, He Dong felt a bit relieved. However, he was still somewhat uneasy. At this moment, He Dong suddenly remembered that he still had nearly seventy summoning points, enough to summon another level four pet.

He Dong immediately went to a private bathroom, observed the surroundings, and then entered the summoning space.

He had already decided to summon a magical beast during the last summoning of a spirit beast, but the abilities granted by the Titan Bear were so impactful that he temporarily put the summoning of a magical beast on hold.

"May heaven bless me and let me summon a powerful magical beast that can help me!" He Dong stood in front of the 4 of Spades and silently prayed.

Type: Magical Beast

Level: Four

Name: Green Crane

Race Characteristics: An elegant magical beast, a favorite pet among nobles

Natural Ability: Automatically absorbs fire magic elements from the air

Special Skills: Water magic water arrow spell, water wall spell, water mirror spell, water therapy spell

"A level four magical beast with four special skills! Although this Green Crane is stunningly beautiful, I like its special skills even more," He Dong thought.

After the extraction, absorption, and fusion processes, He Dong closed his eyes and slowly savored the four new skills. The water arrow spell is an attack spell that condenses water elements into a water arrow to attack enemies, with much greater power than the water ball spell.

The water wall spell is a defensive magic that can form a water wall to resist enemy attacks. The water mirror spell is a reconnaissance magic, and with He Dong’s current abilities, he can use it to view the situation within a kilometer.

At this moment, He Dong was most concerned about the water therapy spell. After some practice, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the water therapy spell was a healing spell that could treat any external or internal injuries, even remove toxins. Due to the principle of water and fire being mutually exclusive, it was especially effective in treating injuries caused by fire magic.

"Especially effective in treating injuries caused by fire magic! Now Xinxin can be saved! Hahaha!" He Dong was overjoyed and did not want to waste a moment. He immediately left the summoning space and ran quickly to the intensive care unit.

"Are there any family members of Zhao Xinxin? Are there any family members of Zhao Xinxin?" Just as He Dong arrived at the intensive care unit and was about to press the call button outside the door, several people suddenly pushed a hospital bed out. The person on the bed was completely covered in a white sheet, even the head.

Seeing this, He Dong felt a loud buzzing in his head, and he was completely stunned.
