The effect of this potion is incredible!
Lying on the ground, the member of the Bonfire Group had a wound on his waist, and the gaping cut that was still bleeding began to close at a visible speed. Muscle fibers intertwined like countless agile little snakes at the wound site, while the damaged blood vessels seemed to be quickly reconnected by an invisible hand. The flow of blood gradually slowed until it stopped completely, and new skin tissue grew rapidly. Before long, a thick layer of scab formed around his waist.
I’m not dead? Thank you, Elite Squad.
The pale-faced member of the Bonfire Group expressed his gratitude to Taozi, who smiled cutely and pointed towards Ye Wumeng and the others rushing over from behind. "You should thank our new team member, Brother Ye Wumeng. He’s the one who gave me this precious potion to save you."
The member of the Bonfire Group cast a grateful glance in Ye Wumeng's direction, only to find Lei Huo aiming his enormous sniper rifle at him! No, he was aiming at Taozi!
Bang!
The loud gunshot echoed through the massive sewage pipe, and the blinding flash of gunfire momentarily stunned him. He quickly turned to look at Taozi, who was now covered in a thick layer of green goo, her face showing a distressed expression.
"Could you please give a heads-up before shooting next time?"
Taozi brushed off some of the sticky green liquid from her clothes as Ye Wumeng and the others arrived. Lei Huo turned his head away while Wen Xi gently said, "Sister Taozi, just now Brother Lei Huo was trying to save you. A Corpse Beetle had quietly snuck up behind you. Thankfully, Brother Lei Huo acted decisively; otherwise..."
Taozi turned around and indeed saw a Corpse Beetle with its head blown off and only half a body remaining.
"I'm sorry."
"Alright, let’s deal with these Corpse Beetles first," Wen Xi said. "You two stay back and treat the injured. Taozi and I will handle those bugs."
"Taozi, you take care of the ones nearby; I’ll handle those in the distance."
Lei Huo skillfully aimed his sniper rifle at a group of three or five Corpse Beetles in the distance and opened fire.
Hearing this, Taozi didn’t hesitate; she grabbed her great sword and charged towards the nearest Corpse Beetle.
"Let’s go, Wun Meng. We need to save people."
Wen Xi pulled out a bottle of healing spray and weakly said to Ye Wumeng.
Ye Wumeng nodded and looked back at Fei Wen, who was still standing with her arms crossed and looking drowsy. Confused, she asked, "Shouldn’t the captain be giving orders in this situation?"
Wen Xi helped an injured person up and shook the spray over their wound while letting out a soft sigh. "That’s just how our captain is; he rarely gets involved directly. In fact, I only joined the Elite Squad a year ago, but in this past year, he hasn’t really commanded us."
As she spoke about it, Wen Xi's voice gradually grew softer, tinged with evident disappointment.
After hearing Wen Xi's words, Ye Wumeng looked back at Fei Wen with her eyes closed and shook her head.
This team is doomed with such a captain.
"Forget about these unhappy things," Wen Xi continued. "Actually, after this mission is over, Xiao Taojie, Lei Huo, and I have decided to leave this team."
She lifted her small face, her expression full of apology and conflict in her eyes.
Ye Wumeng understood what she meant. Wen Xi wanted her to leave with them from this hopeless team.
"Yeah, I’ve been thinking about that too. When we get back, I’ll bring it up with Vice Commander."
Hearing Ye Wumeng's response made Wen Xi smile brightly; her movements with the healing spray became noticeably quicker.
After about a minute, the wave of Corpse Beetles was perfectly dealt with by them. They acted swiftly, and by the time they finished counting, there were only a few seriously injured. However, thanks to Ye Wumeng's potions, their vital signs were stable and none were in critical danger.
"Everyone, on behalf of all the teams, I thank you for your efforts," the Captain said solemnly. Upon seeing Ye Wumeng and the others, he saluted them with a military gesture typical of the Bonfire Group.
"Hehe, this is what we should do," Taozi replied with her hands on her hips and a sunny smile directed at the Captain.
The others nodded in agreement, acknowledging her words.
"Since that's the case, I won't disturb you any longer. We'll rest here for a while; you all can take a good break," the Captain said, nodding to them before hurriedly leaving.
"Let's go back," Lei Huo said in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, the previously cheerful group fell silent again. The thought of having to face Fei Wen's disdainful expression soon dampened their spirits.
Dragging their heavy feet, they returned to their designated mobile unit for the special squad. Just as they arrived, they heard Fei Wen's annoying voice.
"Is it really necessary to take this long for such a trivial matter? You guys are truly useless; if it were another team, they would have been back ages ago!" Fei Wen stood there with his arms crossed, his face radiating disdain—especially when he looked at Ye Wumeng, that feeling intensified.
"Newcomer, how many potions do you have left? As the team leader, shouldn't you give me some?" Fei Wen looked at Ye Wumeng with an air of arrogance and entitlement.
He had just witnessed the effectiveness of Ye Wumeng's potions and had to admit that during his time in Lanstad, he had never seen such powerful concoctions before. After all, these potions were made using Corpse Energy Base Liquid; their effects were undoubtedly superior to other potions.
In Fei Wen's mind, he was giving Ye Wumeng an opportunity to please him and hoped he wouldn't be so ungrateful.
"One vial for one point; it's a fair trade," Ye Wumeng said as he pulled out a vial of bright red potion from his pocket. With his other hand, he used his Mechanical Glove to bring up the payment option, raising an eyebrow.
"You! I'm the team leader! How dare you ask me for money!" Fei Wen's face turned red with anger, resembling a furious red-skinned duck as his body trembled with rage.
This guy really had no sense of gratitude!
"Don't even think about it!" Ye Wumeng pretended to retract the potion from his hand. Gritting his teeth, Fei Wen quickly pulled out his Mechanical Glove and paid the points before extending his hand toward Ye Wumeng through clenched teeth.
"I paid! Now give me the potion!"
After all, such potent potions were rare on the market; having one for critical moments could be quite beneficial. Once this was over, he would definitely make sure this guy left the Elite Squad!
"Ah, sorry about that; that was just the previous price. The new price is now two points," Ye Wumeng said while shaking the vial in his hand nonchalantly.
Given the effectiveness of this potion, he wasn't worried about Bonfire Group not accepting it. The two points were just a normal price; he simply wanted to irritate Fei Wen a bit.
"You!"
Fei Wen was furious, but as he looked at the potion in Ye Wumeng's hand, his eyes were filled with reluctance. He was afraid of dying; if he had a trump card, he would feel much more at ease. The veins on his forehead throbbed, and he clenched his teeth tightly, controlling the Mechanical Glove to make the payment to Ye Wumeng.
Seeing the points credited, Ye Wumeng didn’t raise the price again. After all, it was just a regular healing potion; selling it meant that Fei Wen had already bled quite a bit, so it was best to take what they could get. He casually tossed the potion into Fei Wen's hands.
Fei Wen almost dropped it, barely catching it before it hit the ground. He shot a fierce glare at Ye Wumeng, who returned the look with equal intensity. Hmph, does this little brat think I'm afraid of him?
They stared at each other for five seconds before Fei Wen finally relented with a cold huff and turned his head away. Seeing this, Ye Wumeng turned around and reached into his pocket to pull out something, smiling as he spoke to Taozi and the others.
"I don't know what dangers we might encounter next, so I’ll give everyone a bit of potion as a precaution against the risks ahead."
Ye Wumeng pulled out several vials of potions from his pocket, each in various colors, with labels indicating their effects and efficacy.
Upon hearing this, Fei Wen turned his head back towards Ye Wumeng, nearly having his eyes pop out in shock! Efficacy? What Leg Strengthening Potion, Mental Calming Potion, and Physical Enhancement Potion? There were even potential activation potions!
He quickly glanced at the ordinary healing potion he had just bought from Ye Wumeng and felt darkness closing in on him. The efficacy of that ordinary healing potion was actually quite high among non-transformation potions, but compared to those that Ye Wumeng had pulled out, it was simply incomparable!
The key point was that what Ye Wumeng was giving away was even better and more plentiful than what he had purchased! Why should that be?
After distributing the potions to his three teammates, he turned back to look at Fei Wen, who had transformed back into a red-skinned duck once again and squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth. "What about mine?"
Hearing this, a cold smile appeared on Ye Wumeng's face as he looked at Fei Wen and said coldly, "You? Sorry, there's none for you!"
