Chapter 816

Seeing Jiaoqiu was telling Hu Lei a story about General Feixiao.

One by one, memories surfaced.

As he spoke, they gradually emerged.

【Please... save me...】

【I still want to live... Physician...】

A weak voice rose from the makeshift medical tent,

shaking everyone's heart.

【Jiaoqiu, find a medical automaton and needle that child! Hurry!】

The physician beside him, overwhelmed with work,

cried out to Jiaoqiu in desperation.

【I... I understand. How is the front line?】

Jiaoqiu swiftly grabbed his medical tools,

approached the dying wounded,

and asked this question with a troubled expression.

【The Bu Li's beast-ships have already landed on Fanghu... It won't be long before this place falls too.】

The Yunqi stationed here answered Jiaoqiu with a hint of despair.

【What of the Moon-riding General... has she sent word?】

【I am her physician. At a time like this, I should be by her side.】

The Yunqi's words changed Jiaoqiu's expression; he pressed urgently.

【The General told me to tell you: she won't return. She must hold the Gaze-Cloud Mirror.】

【The General told you... save that child. She fought like a madwoman, just to bring all of us back here!】

【I've never seen such a terrifying way of fighting... her body... I felt as if her whole being was tearing apart... like...】

The Yunqi's voice faded as he spoke.

【The patient's blood pressure is nearly gone.】

【Did you hear that, Jiaoqiu!】

The physician beside him shouted urgently.

【I heard clearly... prepare a Dianzhi Powder.】

【We must begin surgery now!】

【I... will bring her back!】

Gui Naifen: "No way, folks?"

Gui Naifen: "Here we go again with these knife-fan memories?"

Gui Naifen: "That person lying on the operating table, bleeding out, is General Feixiao, right?"

Diviner Fu Xuan: "Fanghu... this was that war from long ago..."

Diviner Fu Xuan: "That war was so brutal, it nearly toppled the Xianzhoulian Alliance..."

Funingna: "At this time, General Feixiao didn't seem to be a General yet."

Funingna: "And Mr. Jiaoqiu was the physician to the Moon-riding General."

Funingna: "If I'm not mistaken, the Moon-riding General was the former Yàoqīng General, right?"

Funingna: "Did she... die in this war?"

General Feixiao: "Yes."

General Feixiao: "To hold the position, she ultimately fell in battle..."

Ying: "Though this is only a memory of Mr. Jiaoqiu, the agony of that war still feels painfully real."

Paimon: "I wonder what Mr. Jiaoqiu was thinking back then?"

Paimon: "It feels like he was deeply sad, yet utterly powerless."

Stelle: "As the General's physician, he could only listen as his General faced utter despair, unable to help."

Stelle: "That's a kind of utter despair."

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "Sigh... I never thought I'd see this scene again..."

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "It's so... sorrowful..."

Brother Dan Heng: "In the video, General Feixiao became like this because she activated the power granted by Yuekuang, right?"

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "Correct."

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "It gave her immense strength, but also tore her body apart."

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "If this continued, one day she would explode completely during battle..."

March 7th: "When the Bu Li enter Yuekuang, they don't suffer this."

March 7th: "Mr. Jiaoqiu, don't worry—I believe you'll find a way to break Yuekuang!"

The video continued.

【... Is this why you've been so determined to uncover the secret from me?】

【Can you hear me, Jiaoqiu?】

Watching Jiaoqiu, seemingly lost in memory, Hu Lei raised his voice.

【I hear you. I heard clearly.】

Jiaoqiu returned from his memory.

【During the great battle on Fanghu Xianzhou thirty years ago, she saved you all—but as she lay dying, she unexpectedly realized she carried Bu Li blood.】

【Modu told me she was a war slave who had fled from the Moon Eclipse hunting pack.】

【What a strange twist of fate — she and I actually came from the same tribe.】

Hulei listened to Seeing Jiaoqiu's story, and the corners of his mouth gradually leaked a trace of a smile.

【I see, no wonder the power that fox-person displayed in battle was so decisive and cruel... so astonishing!】

【That was all thanks to the gift of her Buli bloodline.】

【Half-breed... detestable half-breed General.】

Modu began cursing General Feixiao viciously, believing her to be a traitor.

【And she used the gift in her own bloodline to destroy the Buli people.】

【Moonrage, the wolf's blessing, the fox's curse.】

【For the Buli people, being torn apart by Moonrage in battle, undergoing feral transformation... is the supreme joy.】

【But for fox-folk like you with limited self-healing, it is a dead end.】

【Along with the burning fury-blood surging up in her heart, this fox-person General could not tell friend from foe, fought on and on without rest, and the wounds blooming open on her body did not come from enemy weapons, but from the immense power she could not bear.】

【One day, she will die as a monster, torn apart into pieces.】
