Free Web NovelHearing the unfamiliar voice, Mingxi's body instinctively tensed.
"...Who...is it?"
Her throat burned as if being cut by blades, and her eyelids felt heavy as if filled with lead. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
A buzzing in her ears mixed with intermittent human voices, making it impossible to hear clearly.
Mingxi deeply realized how severely injured she was; it seemed not much different from the last time she was directly incapacitated by whoever that was.
Chu Fengfeng stared at her constantly unfocused pupils.
He sighed and said, "She's awake, but not fully."
This person was too severely injured; even an S-Class healing potion could only slightly alleviate her injuries, but not her pain.
"Beep!"
After more than half an hour of scanning, the simple medical detector by the bed finally produced data.
The three of them looked over simultaneously.
On the small electronic screen, lines of familiar text refreshed.
Heartbeat, pulse, blood pressure were all outside normal standards, followed by various complex data: blood routine, liver function, kidney function...
Finally, there was the injury summary they were most concerned about.
"Injury Summary: The patient is female, bone age estimated to be under 20 years old, physical fitness level SS-Class, Beast Tamers level unknown, body damage 71.22%, mental sea is ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) in a locked state, injury severity exceeds lethality; she should be a corpse, but her life signs are still present, inferred to be a special physique awakened; Recommended Treatment Plan A: Angel System Transcendent creature Heavenly-tier healing skills, such as Eternal Holy Light or Divine Healing; Recommended Treatment Plan B: Three or more SSS-Class healing potions, or a large amount of SS-Class healing potions."
Seeing these lines of text displayed on the instrument, the three of them instantly changed their expressions. free𝑤ebnovel.com
"What does this mean? Bone age under 20 years old? Does that mean this little potato isn't even 20 yet? She's a really small potato!
But also SS-Class physical fitness?
Is this crazy?!"
The three looked at each other, suspecting the medical detector was broken.
Beast Tamers who can enter Wanmo Territory, no matter where they come from, must at least have strength exceeding S-Class, otherwise, they are just coming to die.
But an S-Class Beast Tamers under 20 years old, with SS-Class physical fitness, and a Beast Tamers who has awakened a special physique...
When did this world become so fantastical?
"...This broken medical detector must be malfunctioning! The system hasn't been upgraded in years, it has bugs!"
Lin Chen and the other two have been in Wanmo Territory for five years, which means they have been out of contact with the outside world for five years, so it was impossible for them to know about Mingxi's sudden rise to prominence.
It was even harder to understand.
"Regardless of whether the detection is accurate, her condition is indeed very serious."
Lin Chen and the other two stood by the bed, their expressions solemn.
"She most likely does possess a special physique, and her willpower is exceptionally strong, otherwise, she absolutely would not be able to wake up in this situation. She seemed to have called out something just now, did you hear it clearly?" Lin Chen asked.
Chen Xin's heroic brows furrowed slightly, and she rubbed her chin, saying, "It sounds like... eating fish? She wants to eat fish?"
Chu Fengfeng exclaimed, looking astonished, "She's injured this badly and still thinking about eating fish? How big is her heart?"
"Eating fish?" Lin Chen recalled the voice he just heard, "Chiyu?"
"Could it be calling her pet's name?"
Chu Fengfeng gave Lin Chen a thumbs up, clearly thinking his guess was more reliable.
Eating fish or something?
Only Chen Xin, the foodie, could come up with that.
Lin Chen leaned down, close to Mingxi's ear, "Hello, can you hear my voice?"
He noticed her body stiffened slightly.
"Although her consciousness is chaotic, she should be able to hear," he said, surprised.
Mingxi's reaction gave him confidence, and he continued, "Although we saved you, you are too severely injured, and our situation is also beyond our means, running out of supplies. Auxiliary Beast Tamers cannot be summoned due to special reasons, so I'm very sorry, you can only save yourself."
He was very meticulous, repeating this sentence several times, deliberately slowing down his speech, and enunciating his words more clearly than a news anchor!
Sure enough, the person on the bed reacted; her eyelashes trembled slightly, as if responding to Lin Chen.
"Captain, will this work? She can't even move now, and her mental sea is locked, so she can't form seals or use spatial items. How can she save herself?"
Chen Xin was worried.
That's right, how could she save herself?
The three looked at each other, none of them knowing what to do.
Mingxi could not receive their distress; she was trying to focus her vision, three shadows swaying in the dim yellow light.
Her almost-stopped brain laboriously received information.
"...Save...myself...I...need..." she said hoarsely, her throat burning as if she had swallowed charcoal.
She seemed to understand what the male voice meant.
They couldn't help her; she could only find a way herself!
She felt like a very pitiful duck.
Her body couldn't move, she couldn't form seals, she couldn't summon her little darlings, she could only... only what?
She was confused.
"Eh?"
Lin Chen was the first to notice the abnormal fluctuation in the air.
"She's trying to unlock her mental sea!"
"How is this possible?!"
Humans, especially Beast Tamers, have a self-defense mechanism. When the body suffers injuries beyond its limit, to protect the fragile mental sea (brain region), it will automatically lock the mental sea.
Generally, the locked mental sea will only be unlocked when body functions recover by half, or at least a small portion.
Anyway, they had never heard of anyone being able to unlock a locked mental sea on their own before their body functions had recovered.
Chen Xin exclaimed, "She's committing suicide!"
Yes, forcibly unlocking was tantamount to suicide.
The consequence of forcibly unlocking was 100% that the severely injured body would completely perish before the mental sea was even unlocked.
Unless—
"We have to stop her!" Chu Fengfeng became anxious.
Although he didn't know who this miserable person in front of him was, she must be very close to their Chu family.
Lin Chen said helplessly, "How do we stop her?"
In this situation, no one could stop her except herself.
Unlocking the mental sea was also Mingxi's first time attempting it.
Although her mental sea being locked was not new to her, as she had experienced a near-death situation before.
At this moment, her mental power, which usually obeyed her every command, seemed dead, unable to be mobilized at all, and the mental sea lock also caused her thinking ability to weaken.
Now, her intelligence was at most equivalent to that of a 5-year-old child.
But Mingxi, at five years old, did not give up on herself; she believed she was a strong child.
"..."
Although Mingxi was confused, her subconscious intelligence was online; she quickly realized that forcibly unlocking had no possibility of success.
Her teacher had said, if this path is blocked, then take another path.
