The wicked female is extremely fierce, but she's pampered by her seven beast husbands.

Chapter 202 Failed Advancement
"I don't know."

Zhilu spoke coldly, raising her strong, powerful legs and stepping directly onto the heavily wounded but not yet dead enemy.

Although Xuan Yan was somewhat concerned about that strange ability, he noticed that Zhi Lu was unwilling to talk about it, and that Di Ya, who was clearly aware of the situation, pretended not to hear and had no intention of explaining, so he did not continue to ask.

Ling Chengen's figure flashed over the three of them and quickly headed towards the cave entrance.

Bai Qingyu's concerns were valid; Su Weihua's situation was not good.

To be precise, it was terrible.

The cave, which had been cleaned up before, had partially collapsed during the fight between the two. Countless rubble, withered leaves, and grass blades cut by metal that was almost invisible to the naked eye were all swept into the messy cave.

After Ling Chengen saw Su Weihua's condition, he couldn't help but feel a little alarmed.

He had many wounds on his body, but none of them were fatal. However, because of the numerous wounds, he looked bloody, as if he had been cut with hundreds of thin, deep cuts by tiny blades.

His opponent, on the other hand, had only a few wounds.

But it's clear that Su Weihua used ruthless methods to inflict every wound.

In human form, the defense was insufficient, so when Su Weihua's weapon pierced the enemy's side again, the man gripped the handle of the double-headed spear with one hand to prevent the sharp spearhead from penetrating deeper. As Su Weihua approached, the man retreated continuously until he had nowhere left to retreat and his legs braced against the tree trunk behind him.

Perhaps because he had been repeatedly provoked by the weaker party, and then had his vulnerable abdomen pierced again by what he considered an ant, the orc opposite him showed great anger.

This time, in particular, Su Weihua disregarded the possibility of her left shoulder injury being torn apart again and used a reckless fighting style of trading injury for injury to lure her opponent into attacking first, which ultimately enraged Darcy.

Darcy gripped Su Weihua's gun with his left hand, wanting to use his superpower to destroy this strange weapon. However, he suddenly realized that while his metal-based superpower could control the weapon, he couldn't simply disassemble and knead it into a pile of junk as before.

Very strange.

He suddenly looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in his wild eyes. Without hesitation, he threw away the curved knife in his right hand and went straight for Su Weihua's throat.

However, the arm lengths are different.

There was still a certain distance between them and Su Weihua's neck.

Without hesitation, he transformed into beast form, his size suddenly increasing and his explosive power also increasing.

Su Weihua realized that if she didn't retreat, she would either die or be seriously injured, so she instinctively leaned back and used the force of his kick to roll backward twice, finally dissipating the lingering impact.

Darcy pulled the double-headed gun from his abdomen, broke it in half, and threw it into the grass some distance away.

Then, stepping on the fallen tree trunk, he looked up and let out a long howl.

Having lost his weapon, Su Weihua immediately transformed into a beast, a giant wolf with silver-white fur. The mane on his back and tail stood up, and his transformed beast eyes became exceptionally fierce. His upper lip was slightly raised, revealing sharp, cold canine teeth, and he instantly entered attack mode.

He didn't give Darcy a chance to strike first, and pounced on him directly.

The two giant wolves collided in mid-air, making a tremendous noise, much like two medium-sized trucks.

After the collision, both were thrown out; one crashed into a tree trunk behind him, while the other was thrown more than twenty meters away into a bush covered with small thorns.

Ling Chengen did not directly offer assistance. After observing for a while, she noticed that Su Weihua's physical functions were better than during the day.

The speed is faster, and the fluctuations of the supernatural power within the body are also greater.

Everything has improved compared to before.

This is a sign that you are about to advance to a higher rank.

If she intervenes now and helps kill the black wolf on the other side, he might become complacent and won't be able to advance smoothly tonight.

Ling Chengen suppressed his urge to attack, lowered his body slightly, and did not dare to take his attention away from Su Weihua. He also kept his mental energy on the black wolf, observing its weaknesses.

Su Weihua would have a hard time killing this opponent. In fact, if she showed even the slightest weakness, her opponent might seize the opportunity and kill her directly.

Therefore, Ling Chengen must keep a close eye on Su Weihua at all times and make a move the moment Su Weihua can't hold on any longer, so that he can ensure that Su Weihua survives.

The objective was simpler: to observe the weaknesses of the black wolf orc.

It's all for the purpose of delivering a fatal blow at the crucial moment.

Su Weihua's body was covered in more and more wounds. Her silvery-white hair was stained red with blood, and her long, thick hair was soaked with blood and turned into clumps, making her look particularly miserable.

Su Weihua and Darcy collided again, and after being knocked away, Su Weihua's back slammed directly into a tree.

Without hesitation, the other party lunged at his neck. Su Weihua tried to stand up from the ground, shook his head, and tried to dodge the fatal blow, but his hind leg was broken and he was unable to move away in time.

The instant Darcy opened his mouth to bite his neck, a bone blade suddenly shot out from under Su Weihua's abdomen, piercing directly upwards into his chest.

At the same time, Black Wolf's pupils contracted briefly before dilating, and his body lost all strength.

Ling Chengen appeared behind the black wolf without anyone noticing. He grabbed the wolf by the scruff of its neck with one hand and dragged the giant wolf, which weighed several hundred kilograms, aside. He then bent down and pulled out the snow-white bone blade stuck in the wolf's heart, drawing out a large amount of blood.

Su Weihua lay sprawled under the tree trunk, looked up at her, and nodded breathlessly: "Thanks."

After confirming Darcy's death, Ling Chengen squatted down next to Su Weihua, checked his injuries, and said with some regret, "He still couldn't break through. I thought he could be a stepping stone for you to advance to the eighth rank."

Su Weihua said with a wry smile, "I haven't had my powers restored for long, so it will be very difficult for me to break through in the next two months."

Ling Chengen patted him on the shoulder and back, and said with a smile, "Have some confidence in yourself. You were almost at the eighth level just now, but you still need one more spark."

Su Weihua did not continue to argue; he knew his own physical condition better than anyone.

He had only been at the seventh rank for a year. At the usual pace, it would take at least two years to reach the eighth rank, and that would be under the condition that he was in good condition and had not suffered any serious injuries.

Today's battle was an exceptional performance. Sudo's death had left him with a burning anger inside, which he could not quell. This resentment and hatred reached its peak under Darcy's deliberate provocation.

He hadn't even anticipated that he would fight Darcy for so long under extreme emotional control.

Ling Chengen made him lie on his side, reached out and pressed down slowly on his spine from top to bottom, and said calmly, "If you haven't broken through, you haven't broken through. There will be plenty of opportunities later. Your spine was broken once before, and this time it was repeatedly bumped... I need to check if there are any problems."

"If you feel a stinging sensation, or if you don't feel anything when you press, tell me."

“Otherwise, if you become paralyzed again... I won’t be able to take care of you on the way, and I’ll have to arrange for someone to send you back.”

Su Weihua looked at her quietly without saying a word, but slowly rested her head on her forelegs, her ears folded back, presenting a very obedient posture.

Just as Ling Chengen's hand was about to press on his tailbone, Su Weihua suddenly raised his head. Ling Chengen noticed his reaction and asked, "Does it hurt?"

“A little bit.” He didn’t hide anything, lowering his head to rub the fur on his foreleg with the tip of his nose, his voice very soft, “I didn’t feel any fracture in my spine…”

Ling Chengen nodded, quickly withdrew his hand, and glanced at his left hind leg.

"His left leg is broken."

You can tell without even touching it.

Su Weihua watched as she silently helped stabilize his hind legs, and muttered, "I'm sorry—"

After securing her hind legs, Ling Chengen patted her shoulder and back: "Turn into human form, I'll carry you to Zhilu's place. They should be able to keep an eye on you then."

After Su Weihua regained her human form, she tried to stand up by holding onto the tree trunk, but Ling Chengen simply carried her on his shoulder.

He was unusually embarrassed, his face showing awkwardness, and his ears and neck slowly flushed red. Ling Chengen placed him at Zhilu's feet and glanced at Xuan Yan, who was cleaning Diya's wounds: "You're a tenth-tier wood-type warrior?"

Xuan Yan nodded, glancing at Su Weihua who had been left beside Zhi Lu Bu Zu: "Go ahead and do your work, I'll take care of him."

Having a high-level wood-type warrior in the team is a great advantage. Even if they don't know many types of healing spells, their effectiveness is absolutely outstanding in situations where a large number of wounded need to be healed quickly.

With Xuan Yan's assurance, Ling Chengen didn't linger and went to help the others clean up the mess.

Not all of Phantom Fang's people were mobilized.

This is considered quite lucky for them.

There were about thirty people who came this time. So far, they have dealt with thirteen of them, and there are still five or six seriously injured.

Ling Chengen did not let those seriously injured people who tried to escape go.

These orcs have mostly eaten their own kind, so there's no need to show mercy.

Seeing that more than half of their men had been killed or wounded and that the situation was unfavorable, the fire-type orc who had been fighting Bai Qingyu had lost all will to fight Bai Qingyu and only wanted to find an opportunity to leave with the rest of his men.

So, before dawn, the battle was already over.

Bai Qingyu landed on the ground covered in blood, glanced in the direction the fleeing enemies had gone, and let out a long sigh.

Ling Chengen looked at his messy long hair, the ends of which were slightly burnt, and the burn marks on the back of his hands, shoulders, back, and waist. His brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

"He still managed to get away."

Bai Qingyu looked down at Ling Chengen, who was holding his left hand, and said with some regret, "I thought I could keep one or two of his arms or legs or something."

Ling Chengen was not surprised by the result, and said frankly, "Although your ability level has increased, because you were too eager to succeed, your control over your ability is not as good as his, so it is not surprising that you could not win against him."

Bai Qingyu raised an eyebrow and said, "Is this a criticism of me?"

"This is just a post-war analysis for you, it's just the facts."

"Do you think I don't know why you're so eager to improve your abilities?"

Ling Chengen looked at his horrific burns, his expression turning grim.

Bai Qingyu smiled and touched the top of her head with his right hand, then withdrew his injured left hand and said gently, "It's just a minor injury, it'll be fine in a few days."

"Does it hurt?"

Bai Qingyu noticed the concern in her eyes and wanted to say that it hurt a little, but changed her words just before the words were about to come out.

"It doesn't hurt. I'm a male orc, I'm very durable."

"Even if this minor injury were to fall on a child in the tribe, they would only howl a couple of times at most, not actually cry."

Ling Chengen curled his lip and snorted: "Try it on Ling Xiaoxi?"

Bai Qingyu choked for a moment, then clenched his right fist in front of him and chuckled softly, "That's true... it might not work."

Ling Xiaoxi is the kind of child who makes a lot of noise and a lot of commotion; she wants everyone in the family to know about any little thing she does.

I went hunting small prey with Kong Mingming before. While we were lying in ambush, I got stung on the nose by a bee. My nose swelled up and became red and swollen. I screamed on the spot, scaring the small animals so much that they almost died on the spot. When I got home, I cried loudly.

Ling Xiao and his brothers-in-law racked their brains and tried many methods, but they couldn't appease him. Finally, they were punished by Ling Chengen, which finally calmed things down.

"My injury is minor. I can clean it myself and apply some medicine in a bit."

Bai Qingyu glanced at Su Weihua, who was leaning against the tree root: "Go and see him, he's badly injured."

Ling Chengen sighed, took out a medicine bottle from his spatial storage, and handed it to Bai Qingyu.

"The medicine for treating burns was made by Yuheng, and it works very well."

Bai Qingyu held the medicine bottle, watching her retreating figure, and plopped down on a pile of fallen leaves. He wanted to lean against the tree trunk behind him, but his expression suddenly twisted, and he had to turn his body to the side, pinching his brow with his fingertips.

The injury on my back is a bit troublesome.

The key issue is that he himself doesn't seem to be able to apply it properly.

Lin Ying walked past him, glanced at the burn on his back, and said quietly, "Do you need my help?"

"No, thanks."

Bai Qingyu decisively refused the dark-faced man, carefully rinsing her painful wound with water, clenching her teeth tightly, and not making a sound.

Lin Ying squatted down next to Bai Qingyu. The arrow in his shoulder had been removed by Xuan Yan. The wound had bled quite a bit, but fortunately, it hadn't broken any bones, so the problem wasn't too serious.

After Xuan Yan used a healing spell, the wound, though not completely healed, was about 50-60% healed.

Once you're almost fully recovered, it's easy to get bored.

He asked curiously, "Why didn't you let her apply the medicine for you? It's such a good opportunity to play the victim and get your partner to pamper you more..."

Bai Qingyu chuckled, "You know that now? Don't you say you don't have a partner?"

Lin Ying grinned and said, "So what if I don't have a partner? I may not have eaten pork, but I've seen pigs run, haven't I?"

"roll--"

Not wanting to satisfy his curiosity, Bai Qingyu opened her mouth, pulled out the stopper, and gently sprinkled the powder onto the wound on the back of her hand.

At first, it stung a little, but slowly... the medicine started to take effect, and the burning pain miraculously disappeared.

Bai Qingyu looked at the medicine bottle in his hand and fell into deep thought.

He had used burn ointment before.

He is a water-type warrior. When he encounters fire-type orcs in battle, he usually takes the initiative to engage, mainly because their abilities counter each other.

Therefore, it's not uncommon to encounter situations like today's, where you run into a tough opponent and end up with some burns.

The burn medicine made by the shaman of the Hanshan tribe is very effective and does not leave scars, but it does not relieve pain, and it is not as effective as the powder made by Yuheng.

Not long after the powder was applied, the gruesome red wound on the surface gradually stopped bleeding.

The wound even started to feel tight.

Bai Qingyu thought to himself that this autumn hunt would yield many good items, which he could then exchange with Yuheng for some medicinal powders to use later.

The things that guy produced were truly extraordinary.

From some perspectives, having a highly capable doctor at home... is actually quite convenient.

For the sake of this medicine powder, I can forgive my rival for a minute today.
