Free Web NovelChapter 1125: Chapter 1124: Showing Off
Suddenly, she remembered something and threw herself toward the giant wolf lying on the ground.
The massive creature was now sprawled motionless on the ground. Apart from its half-open eyes blinking every now and then, it had almost no sign of life left.
Looking at the giant wolf’s body covered in wounds, Ba Lv’s tears fell silently.
Just now, she had completely drawn the attention of the three Flying Dragons; the giant wolf clearly had a chance to escape, but it didn’t abandon her. Instead, it kept following behind her, and at the most dangerous moment, it threw itself forward with its life on the line, pushing her out of harm’s way, while it fell under the Flying Dragon’s razor-sharp claws.
Jiang Cheng and Yanran came to Ba Lv’s side. Neither of them spoke; they just stood beside Ba Lv, silently looking at the giant wolf lying on the ground.
Under the Flying Dragons’ attack, Ba Lv had been in extreme danger, almost about to die under their assault. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
At that critical moment, the giant wolf, already gravely wounded, had used the last of its strength to knock her away, while it itself collapsed under the Flying Dragon’s claws.
The giant wolf had temporarily saved Ba Lv’s life, but they had not escaped danger yet.
Under the Flying Dragons’ attacks, they had been just a step away from death.
It was only because Jiang Cheng and Yanran rushed over and rescued them at the most dangerous moment.
Now, the three of them stood beside the giant wolf, and for a while, none of them said a word.
The wind howled past, and the distant grass rippled in waves.
"Teacher..." Ba Lv turned her head, her tear-filled eyes looking at Jiang Cheng. "Teacher, can you save it?"
"Teacher, I’m begging you, save it!" Ba Lv burst into loud sobs.
Jiang Cheng and Yanran had never seen Ba Lv lose control like this. freёwebnovel.com
In their minds, Ba Lv had always been a quirky, lively girl who loved to laugh and mess around. Although she did have moments when she seemed a bit down, those moments were rare, and they had never seen her wail like this before.
Yanran wrapped an arm around Ba Lv’s shoulders and kept comforting her in a low voice, "Don’t cry, don’t cry."
Ba Lv only cried harder.
Jiang Cheng bent down, pressed his palm against the giant wolf’s body, and a gentle strand of Spiritual Power flowed from his palm, slowly traveling through the wolf’s body.
After a while, he stood up and said to the still-crying Ba Lvluo, "Stop crying. If we hurry, this wolf might still be saved."
"Really?!" Ba Lvluo raised her head, looking at Jiang Cheng in disbelief.
"What do you mean, ’really’?" Jiang Cheng glared at Ba Lvluo. His own student actually doubted him like this. "I just checked inside this wolf. Although it’s badly injured, its life force hasn’t been completely cut off. If we treat it in time, it’s not impossible to save it."
"Then—then hurry up!" Ba Lv stopped crying. She wiped her tears and urged Jiang Cheng.
"Alright!" Jiang Cheng nodded, bent down, stretched out both hands, and lifted the giant wolf’s body.
He reminded Yanran and Ba Lv, "I’ll go first. You two be careful. The terrain and environment here are very different from normal. You must stay alert."
His figure flashed, and Jiang Cheng disappeared from their sight.
"Where is Teacher taking the giant wolf?" Ba Lv asked Yanran.
She had thought Teacher would just use his powerful abilities to treat the giant wolf right on the spot.
"You’re being silly again?" Although Ba Lv said that, she still reached out to wipe away the traces of tears at the corners of Yanran’s eyes. "Did you forget we have a small but fully equipped medical bay on the ship?"
"Huh? H-how come I’ve never seen it?" Ba Lv really didn’t know.
"Of course you haven’t. All your attention is on piloting, weapons, and all that. How would you notice those things?" Yanran said.
"What do we even need that stuff on the ship for?" Ba Lv continued to ask; her mood had already calmed down a lot by now.
"This is a ship used by the leadership of Delmar. What if their leader gets injured? Of course they have to be prepared," Yanran answered. "But I really didn’t expect the equipment there to be that complete."
Yanran remembered that when her teacher first saw it, he had stared in a daze for quite a while, then started grumbling nonstop.
Stuff like "wasting the taxpayers’ money."
And "the people, the people."
And "there’s corruption everywhere."
And so on.
Indeed, setting up such a fully equipped medical facility just to prepare for injuries that might happen but had a very low probability really was a huge waste.
But she hadn’t expected that this stuff would actually come in handy one day.
She remembered that back then she had even wanted to throw out most of the medical supplies. Those devices took up so much space; wouldn’t it be better to store more living supplies instead?
Jiang Cheng had stopped her.
Jiang Cheng’s thinking was that they would be traveling among various planets for a long time, and he basically knew nothing about these planets. If someone did get injured, it would be convenient to treat them in time.
Hearing Yanran say this, Ba Lv completely relaxed.
Although Jiang Cheng hadn’t guaranteed one hundred percent that the giant wolf would not die, out of unconditional trust in her teacher, Ba Lv still believed the wolf would be fine.
"Ah!" Ba Lv slapped her own forehead; she suddenly remembered something.
"What are you freaking out about now?!" Yanran was startled by Ba Lv. Ba Lv’s figure had already sprinted far away, and her voice came from a distance, "Don’t go anywhere, I’ll be right back!"
Yanran looked at her departing back and shook her head. This girl, always so jumpy.
But that was good too. That was how she was supposed to be.
Yanran had almost been scared to death when she saw Ba Lvluo crying like that earlier. She had never seen her so heartbroken before.
Yanran lowered her head and carefully searched through the shattered remains of the Flying Dragon’s corpse.
Her idea was similar to Ba Lvluo’s. Since the creatures here all had that mysterious Crystal in their bodies, then with a creature as large as a Flying Dragon, the Crystal inside it would definitely be different from the others.
Yanran had another thought: this was a dragon!
No matter where, dragons were powerful beings.
So the Crystal inside them had to be even more special.
The Flying Dragon’s body had already been blown into pieces by Jiang Cheng and her. Looking at the mess in front of her, Yanran almost threw up.
But she forced down her nausea and carefully examined the chunks of flesh mixed with fresh blood.
Ba Lvluo ran back, panting. "Look!" Even from a distance, she was already shouting to Yanran, "Quick, look, isn’t it cute?"
Ba Lv’s voice was full of pride and showing off. Yanran looked up at her in surprise.
"Wow!" Yanran forgot all about searching for the Flying Dragon’s Crystal. She snatched up the wolf pup in Ba Lv’s arms. "So cute, so cute! It’s adorable!"
"Hehe, it’s mine. You can only look, and maybe kiss it a bit, that’s fine too," Ba Lvluo said. Seeing how much Yanran liked the wolf pup made her a little nervous, afraid Yanran would snatch one from her, so she hurried to make her position clear.
"You stingy brat!" Yanran shot Ba Lv a look and pretended to toss the wolf pup away. "Fine, I’m not playing anymore, take it!"
"Ah!" Ba Lv jumped in fright. Only when she saw the wolf pup still safe in Yanran’s hands did she realize Yanran was just teasing her.
