Jiang Bai, feeling utterly drained, nearly jumped in pain as the fish on the cutting board flopped around. Yun Zhi Yue unceremoniously pressed down on his head, continuing to scrape away. The agony was unbearable; Jiang Bai's face turned pale, but his eyes were bloodshot with rage. His expression twisted in pain, and he bit down hard enough to draw blood from his gums.
Bai Miao Miao couldn't bear to watch this. She stepped forward and tightly embraced Jiang Bai's head, constantly soothing him, "Just a little longer, it will be over soon. Hang in there."
Yun Zhi Yue worked quickly, exposing more and more of the white bones while swiftly cleaning away the rotting flesh. Finally, she pressed down on the exposed spine. Shihua's arm shimmered again; the dark glow that had initially appeared gradually faded to a vibrant green. Muscle fibers became visible on the white bones, and skin began to form.
As the pain gradually subsided, Jiang Bai's complexion improved. He leaned against Bai Miao Miao's chest and turned back to look at Yun Zhi Yue in shock. "Did you cheat? How could you heal such severe wounds so quickly? The healing medicine from Eerie Coin wouldn't even work this well! This is just unfair!"
Yun Zhi Yue finished repairing the wound and clapped her hands proudly. "Call me the Healing Queen!"
The others exchanged glances; they had never heard of a Healing Queen before, but they certainly knew what a Healing Scammer was—no one dared to voice it aloud.
Yun Zhi Yue scanned the group and said bluntly, "From now on, we might need to stick together. Just so we're clear, if any of you get hurt, don't come looking for me to heal you. I only saved Jiang Bai because I was in a good mood. If you think you can rely on my strange sense of mercy, you'd be better off harming yourselves instead. I’m making this clear: I won’t help."
Liu Ying glanced at Bai Miao Miao and thought that her willingness to help was likely due to her presence. They all had interacted with the guide and understood what strangeness entailed; Miss Yun’s words were something they needed to remember.
This was mainly directed at her and the bald man; smart people understood that well.
Yun Zhi Yue nodded in satisfaction and turned to Bald Man Huang Yu. "How did you survive?"
Her life scale aligned with theirs; among the four team members left, it was obvious that Yu Yue was the one remaining. However, Huang Yu’s survival was the most astonishing.
Huang Yu looked somewhat nervous as he replied, "I thought I was doomed when I came here, but for some reason, I kept dodging attacks as if luck were on my side. Even when rainwater flooded in, I managed to find blind spots to avoid danger."
Yun Zhi Yue's interest piqued. "Is that so?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she moved swiftly, launching an Emei Spike straight at Huang Yu's head.
Huang Yu’s face paled in panic; clearly terrified, he stumbled over his own feet and fell down just as the Emei Spike barely grazed his scalp.
Yun Zhi Yue’s eyes flickered as she executed another attack with the Emei Spike. At that moment, facing Yun Zhi Yue, Huang Yu couldn’t see behind him—meaning he couldn’t discern where the attack would come from.
The man crawled to the side, pleading, "Don't kill me! My survival is truly a fluke!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a Emei Spike whizzed past his ear, narrowly missing him.
Huang Yu was stunned.
The others were equally astonished.
Yun Zhi Yue stared in disbelief, "This is ridiculous. If he’s this lucky, it’s like he’s cheating."
Bai Miao Miao analyzed, "I survived as a newcomer because of my keen eyesight, and thanks to Yun Zhi Yue and Jiang Bai. If he has lasted this long, could it be that he possesses some special ability? Perhaps luck?"
Song Huai shot a glance at Huang Yu, "No matter what, we need to form a trio right now. He might be useful. Let’s keep searching for Red Umbrella."
It seemed fate was pushing this group back toward their guide. Despite Yun Zhi Yue's reluctance, they encountered Yu Yue.
And the two teammates behind him were no good either.
