Interstellar Beast World: The Ferocious Beast Husband Has a Wild Mind

Chapter 145 Someone Always Has to Be Sacrificed

"How are you?"

Sang Qing asked anxiously and hurriedly checked Shi Ying's injuries.

Fortunately, the injury is on the shoulder.

However, this position is also very dangerous; if you go any lower, you could injure your heart and lungs.

She hadn't expected Shi Ying to shield her.

She did not give Shi Ying any orders.

Although contracted beasts have the obligation to protect their masters, they will also be buried with their masters if the masters die.

However, on the way here, in order to prevent any accident from affecting Shi Ying's performance, she deliberately weakened the mandatory nature of the contract.

Shi Ying was drenched in sweat, her body soaked in blood. She endured the pain and said in a hoarse voice, "It's alright... Don't worry about me. Go check on the crystal. Otherwise, if we attract other beasts or lords, the consequences will be unimaginable."

He had almost exhausted his mental energy and was seriously injured, so he could no longer transform into his beast form. If another group of strange beasts or lords came, he would probably be in grave danger.

Seeing Shi Ying's face quickly lose color due to excessive blood loss, Sang Qing found a medical kit on the ground and roughly wrapped the wound with gauze and Shi Ying's shirt.

Applying medicine to this type of wound is no longer effective, as it will be washed away by the blood. The only thing to do is to wrap the wound as tightly as possible to slow down the bleeding.

Since the contract didn't mention anything, Shi Ying should be out of immediate danger.

Sang Qing helped him to the nearest broken tree stump.

"Hold on for a bit, don't move around, I'll be right back."

After all that, Sang Qing was sweating a lot, her light blue hair, damp at the temples, clung to her cheeks, and her words were choked with breathlessness.

Shi Ying could tell that Sang Qing's eyes remained perfectly calm.

Yu Jin is right, the little bodhisattva has very comprehensive life skills and a strong ability to adapt to changing situations.

This is not something a pampered female should have, even if she grew up in a working-class neighborhood where females are treated well.

As Shi Ying watched Sang Qing's retreating figure, a violent tremor ran through her left chest, unsure whether it was pain or a throbbing sensation.

the other side.

Bai Xiao and Albatross had already dealt with the monkey-beastman who had turned into a monster in the first instance.

Both of them had their riot value exceed 90, revealing their beast-like characteristics, but perhaps because Sang Qing had cleansed their mental sea, neither of them experienced a mental riot.

The container has been damaged, and the black pollution continues to spread in all directions.

Sang Qing asked Bai Xiao, "What will be the consequences if the pollution on the star stone continues to leak?"

"The alien beasts are born with a thirst for the scent of pollution. To them, pollution is energy. So once they sense the scent of exposed starstones, they will flock to them."

Bai Xiao's gaze shifted from the corpse on the ground to the distance.

“The surrounding beasts have probably been cleared out by Manju, so there’s no reaction for now. If this continues to spread, even more beasts from further away will come.”

"If we're unlucky, we might attract a horde of monsters."

Sang Qing also realized the seriousness of the problem; her combat power against the alien beasts was almost zero.

It's clearly unlikely that Bai Xiao and Albatross, both S-rank, would be able to deal with the beast tide.

"Can I absorb star stones?"

Sang Qing only knew about crystal cores and didn't have a deep understanding of star stones, so she could only rely on Bai Xiao.

Bai Xiao shook his head, "No, although star stones are good things, they are also quite deadly before they are processed."

"Is there no other way?"

"Yes," Bai Xiao said solemnly. "Starstones can be stored inside the Mist Lord's body or inside an orc's body, and can temporarily conceal the aura they emit."

Bai Xiao glanced at Shi Ying not far away, closed his eyes, and turned to Albatross, "I'll take the Star Stone with me later. You take the healer and escape in the opposite direction."

"No, Captain, let me go. You take the healer away. It's better for me to sacrifice myself than for you to sacrifice the captain. We can still leave behind some fighting force and take the healer out of the Misty Forest." Albatross grabbed Bai Xiao.

Bai Xiao: "Damn, you're not as fast as me. Endurance is useless at times like this."

The two started arguing over who should take the Star Stone.

Sang Qing remained silent.

Orcs are inherently afraid of pollution, and the pollution on the starstone is so severe that it could trigger a star beast tide.

It's easy to imagine what the consequences would be if it were stored inside an orc's body.

They finally managed to bring their riot level down, but now it's back to over 90, and they still have to sacrifice themselves for her.

No matter who goes, it's not the outcome she wants to see.

But she couldn't think of any other way; one person always had to be sacrificed to benefit the others.

Otherwise, everyone would die.

This feeling of helplessness is truly painful.

Just as Bai Xiao and the other person were arguing and taking stock of available supplies, a man with a broken body struggled to crawl toward the star stones on the ground.

The moment the beast-like leopard's claws touched the starstone, a painful howl erupted.

"It's Mu Yan! What does he want to do!" Albatross exclaimed, dropping his combat pack and rushing forward.

Mu Yan's mental energy surged violently, his face contorted in a ferocious expression, and he grabbed the crystal and swallowed it whole.

Albatross stood frozen in place, dumbfounded: "He...ate the crystal...."

"Can males directly absorb crystals?" Sang Qing asked.

Bai Xiao: "No."

Blood flowed from Mu Yan's mouth, eyes, and ears, and his body stiffened in an eerie way due to extreme pain.

The remaining half of the leg was twitching slightly.

As the hair grows, the animalistic features become more and more obvious, and it even seems to be developing in a strange direction.

Mu Yan suddenly turned his head, his only remaining blood-red eye moving as he looked at Sang Qing.

next second.

"puff!"

The beast's claw pierced his chest, and Mu Yan ended his own life.

Sang Qing was stunned.

She couldn't understand that look in his eyes.

Perhaps it's a relief.

The crystal entered the orc's body, temporarily alleviating the pollution.

"If he had been aware of this earlier, he wouldn't have ended up like this." Bai Xiao sighed, feeling a deep sense of regret.

Many people in the First Military Region knew about Mu Yan's plight and sympathized with him, but he shouldn't have disrespected the therapist.

He had seen him lying on the ground, barely breathing, and knew he would die sooner or later, so he didn't waste his energy.

Sang Qing shifted her gaze from Mu Yan to the corpses of several monkey-like beasts beside her.

I felt completely disoriented.

Why is this so?

They were originally waiting patiently, thinking that after she finished treating those with high riot values, it would be their turn.

If any of them can't withstand the riot value reaching 90 or higher and experience a mental breakdown that puts their lives in danger, she will prioritize saving them.

Because of their own mistakes, if she doesn't save them, even if she herself becomes alienated, she will drag her down with her to die.

It exposes the baseness and malice of human nature so vividly.

All I can say is that they deserved it.

She also resented that they hadn't been dealt with sooner.

This resulted in Shi Ying being seriously injured.

Sang Qing rushed back to Shi Ying's side, only to find that Shi Ying had already fainted due to excessive blood loss.

The gauze was already soaked with blood.

Sang Qing took Shi Ying's pulse and then touched her neck; her body temperature was slowly decreasing.

How to do?
If this continues, Shi Ying's life will be in danger sooner or later.

Albatross went to check on Manju's condition, and Bai Xiao came to Sang Qing's side.

"Healer, we have to go right now."

"Mu Yan is only A-level. The corpse won't last long. The flesh and blood of a corpse that has been completely corrupted and eroded will slowly decay and disappear."

"In just one or two hours, the star stone will be exposed to the air again, which will cause the alien beasts to fight over it once more."

"Without a container, we can't take the starstone with us."

Sang Qing found two vials of nutrient solution and forced them down Shi Ying's throat to help him maintain his basic physical fitness.

She looked up and asked Bai Xiao, "How long would it take to get out of here at the fastest?"

"If we could fly directly out, it would take a day and a night."

Sang Qing's heart sank. A day and a night was too long.

It will take time to get them out and to the hospital.

Given Shi Ying's current condition, it's highly likely he won't be able to hold out until then.

Bai Xiao paused for a moment, then said, "Moreover, you can only take one of Manzhu and Lieutenant Colonel Shi with you."
