Chapter 105 - Controlling the Five Elements, Two Girls in Danger
Ling'er's Arcana?
That was right!
Just as he left the training camp, Ling Jiu had secretly copied Yang Ling'er's Arcana, the Five-Element Manipulation!
Controlling the five elements meant controlling gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. That meant, from today onwards, Ling Jiu could manipulate metals, plants, water, fire, and earth!
One, two, three, four, five...
It was equivalent to having four extra Arcanas, and that meant that five of the seven special substances he had would now come in handy. The silver metal that killed the Morton Monitor earlier was one of them.
"Continue!"
A few minutes later, Ling Jiu came to the second Class 6 Direbeast, and with a flick of his finger, the razor-sharp alloy spear once again pierced through the head of the Class 6 Direbeast, pinning its carcass to the ground.
"Hehehe, it's so easy to use! I've finally experienced Magneto's power for the first time!"
Dush!!!
Dush!!
A crazy slaughter started just like that. With his Blink and destructive silver metal, Ling Jiu's efficiency in hunting Class 6 Direbeasts was far, far more efficient than before.
On Thursday alone, Ling Jiu had killed 158 Class 6 Direbeasts, and if he were to maintain this efficiency for three consecutive days, he would be able to kill 450 Class 6 Direbeasts, and his score could reach a terrifying 4.5 million points!
One could imagine how outrageous Ling Jiu's hunting efficiency was now!
In the blink of an eye, it was Saturday morning. Sending Celeste on an errand, Ling Jiu also set off. Today's weather was very good, the sky was blue as a mirror, with no clouds at all.
"It's another good day!"
Ling Jiu turned on the Direbeast Radar and got ready to look for a suitable target. At this moment, his handphone suddenly rang.
"Who's calling me at this hour?"
Ling Jiu had a confused look, aside from his father and little sister, no one else would call him.
And both his father and little sister knew that he was hunting in the wilderness at this hour so they would not call to disturb him. So, who called him?
"Ling'er, what's the matter?"
Ling Jiu answered the phone.
"Ling Jiu, a massive pack of Class 6 Direbeasts has appeared at our position, and there's also a Class 7 Direbeast as well. We are in a perilous situation now, can you save us?" Ling'er said anxiously.
"Send me your location!"
Ling Jiu said immediately.
He knew that the training camp had been monitoring every student, and perhaps rescue was already on the way, but since Yang Ling'er' had called him, it would be poor form for him to not join the rescue.
"Okay!"
After getting the position data, Ling Jiu piloted the maglev airship as he sped towards the spot. Thankfully, the distance between the two parties was not too far, and five minutes later, Ling Jiu had arrived at the place Yang Ling'er was at.
This was a large and empty valley, with earth-shattering roars constantly thundered across it as if a vicious battle was going on there.
A massive pool appeared before his eyes, and the gloomy pool water exuded a bone-biting chill with a layer of white mist rippling across its surface.
On the mountain wall on the other end of the pool was a small cave.
At this moment, a swarm of Class 6 Direbeasts was attacking the cave in a crazy.
There were Giant Vajra Apes six to seven-story tall, Titan Pythons forty to fifty meters long, Sundering Longtusk Boars eight- to nine-story tall, and a thirty- to forty-meter tall drop bear...
So many raging Direbeasts were on the assault as if they were not afraid of death, seemingly wanting to raze the small cave to the ground.
The question was, what was drawing them to the cave?
"Is that Ling'er?"
Ling Jiu saw Yang Ling'er sitting, incapacitated, in the cave. Her face was pale with wounds all over her body, and behind her was a beautiful woman who was also equally bloodied, she was Ai Yuhe.
"Die!"
Yang Ling'er was in a frenzy as she desperately reduced the head of a Titan Python into dust, and she too seemed to have reached her limit as she spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Why isn't he here yet?"
Yang Ling'er was faltering. She was at her limits, be it her Gene Arcana or her physical strength, were completely exhausted, and she was only holding on by sheer willpower.
The most severe of her wounds was the one on her abdomen as blood constantly gushed out of it. She already felt that she had lost too much blood, and would suffer a shock at any moment.
"Am I going to die here?"
Yang Ling'er felt her head started to feel dizzy, as her vision turned black for a moment and she started to see hallucinations.
She saw a man and a woman holding a little girl in their hands as they ran across a vast prairie as the laughter of the family of three spread far and wide.
This image had appeared in Yang Ling'er's dream countless times now.
However, she could only clearly see the faces of the woman and the little girl every time it happens. The woman was her mother, and the little girl was herself, only the man's face was always blurred.
"Mommy, why does everyone else have a daddy, but I don't?"
"Your father is dead!"
"Mommy, I want Daddy!"
"Daddy..."
Yang Ling'er stretched her hand out to grab at the man, but as soon as she raised her hand, her strengthed were seemingly totally sapped, as she passed out completely.
"Ling'er!"
At this moment Ling Jiu appeared.
"Die!"
With a wave of his hand, the metal spear shot out like a beam as it darted among the Direbeast. Where ever it passed through, skulls were perforated.
Dush dush dush...
Within a few breath's time, all of the dozens of the besieging Class 6 Direbeasts had their heads punctured as they dropped onto the ground dead.
Ling Jiu blinked into the cave and put his finger over Yang Ling'er's nose and mouth. She was still alive. Ai Yuhe was also still alive but had passed out in a coma.
"Gotta evac them first!"
Ling Jiu glanced at the Direbeasts that continued to swarm in, before grabbing Yang Ling'er and Ai Yuhe before disappearing.
As soon as his foot left the ground, a giant head with a single horn appeared at the back of the pool as a pair of blue eyes radiated a chilling aura.
A Blue-eyed Green Scaled Dragon!
...
Bam!
The door to a ward in the training camp hospital was opened as a doctor in a white coat came out.
Ling Jiu quickly walked to the doctor. "Doctor Zhao, how are my friends doing?"
Doctor Zhao took off his mask. "One has mental trauma, probably suffered a mental attack, resulting in coma. Another one is in a very complicated situation!"
"Is it life-threatening?"
Ling Jiu asked.
"The one who suffered a mental attack is in relatively good condition. After giving her some treasure of heaven and earth to treat her mental trauma, she will recover without any problems!"
Dr. Zhao slowly said, "The trouble lies in the other patient. Not only has she lost too much blood, but she also has multiple organ failures. Her situation is very dangerous!"
"Doctor, you must save her, please!" Ling Jiu begged.
"That's the problem!"
Dr. Zhao sighed. "Her blood loss is severe, and we need to give her a blood transfusion, but the camp does not have a specialized blood bank, so..."
"Won't feeding Ling'er treasure of heaven and earth or elixirs work?" Ling Jiu asked.
There were so many treasures of heaven and earth and Gene Arcana elixirs around. Besides, there were many treasures that could help replenish blood, so why could they not directly treat her with that?
Moreover, the medical technology in this world was far ahead compared to his previous life, and Ling Jiu did not believe that they could not cure a case of severe blood loss.
"Student, you don't realize the severity of the problem!"
The doctor slowly explained, "With her current condition, forget withstanding the impact of the treasure of heaven and earth or potions, even if she could, we cannot abuse it!"
"Why?"
Ling Jiu frowned.
"Do you know the function of blood?"
The doctor slowly continued, "Blood has many functions, one of which is to transport various substances like nutrients, metabolites, oxygen, carbon dioxide, water, inorganic salts, and the like!
"In the case of severe blood loss, even if you inject treasure of heaven and earth or Gene Arcana elixirs into her body, it will not be able to bring to bear their full effect!"
"Then what should we do?"
"Blood transfusion then!"
The doctor said, "Given there's no blood bank in the camp, I'll give the camp commandant a call, and recall all of the students, and then have a blood test in hope of finding a suitable blood style, otherwise..."
"Test mine first!"
