Chapter 355: The way scars stack, the benefits of the Xunfa Secret Realm

Su Yu was startled and immediately reached out to grab the edge of the wooden planks tightly; he could not let the water ghost drag him down.

But it was a supernatural force; if only Su Yu had found the water bank sooner, he wouldn't have been grabbed by the water ghost.

The man in white could only watch anxiously; he couldn't intervene to save Su Yu and could only watch helplessly as Su Yu was gradually pulled down by the water ghost.

"Pull your leg back... use more strength!"

Although he said that, Su Yu had already used all his strength, but the force dragging his foot was supernatural, and it was hard for Su Yu alone to shake it.

At the critical moment, the Gale-Thunder in the Card Space suddenly spoke.

"There cannot be a pattern that cannot be broken; this is just a single-player secret realm... Su Yu, look around for any tools, or try to see if you can take out the dagger from your space!"

Su Yu had many weapons in his space, including swords and blades; if he could take them out, he could basically escape this disaster.

Su Yu’s ankle was gradually sinking into the water; he didn't hesitate anymore and tried to take the dagger out of his space. With a thought, the dagger appeared in his hand the next second.

Su Yu did not hesitate; he reached his hand down and stabbed fiercely at the ghost hand with the dagger. During the process, he stabbed his own leg, but Su Yu’s eyes were already bloodshot, and he no longer cared whether he was stabbing his own leg or the water ghost’s hand.

Finally, only a layer of skin and flesh remained on the water ghost’s hand, hanging loosely from the broken bone. The thing underwater let out a shrill wail and quickly retreated to the bottom of the pool.

Su Yu climbed back onto the shore, breathing heavily, his eyes showing a bit of joy, celebrating his survival.

The man in white finally breathed a sigh of relief, but his gaze lingered on Su Yu’s bloodied calf, feeling a bit of heartache. He slowly leaned over, but Su Yu instinctively shrank back.

The man in white was somewhat at a loss.

"I want to treat your wounds..."

Su Yu raised his eyes to look at the man in white. He was wearing a mask, so Su Yu couldn't see the expression on his face and naturally didn't know if the other party’s concern was genuine or fake.

But Su Yu sighed, preferring to believe that the man in white was sincere toward him, and said.

"If you treat my wounds, will it violate the rules?"

The man in white was stunned upon hearing this, but soon shook his head and said somewhat stutteringly.

"...No."

Su Yu looked at him deeply.

"How can you be so bad at lying? Forget it, I'll bandage it myself."

After saying this, Su Yu took out bandages from his space and wrapped them around his leg without any mercy. During the process, he didn't even gasp, remaining indifferent the whole time.

The man in white couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth as he watched. He thought Su Yu was too disappointed in his own performance, so he comforted him.

"It doesn't matter; this stage is much harder than the last one, and because this is also one of the scenes you fear deeply, you naturally carried some fear when facing it. Moreover, this stage has strict time control, and it's easy to be caught by the water ghost. You did very well, better than most people who have experienced this scene."

Su Yu just curled his lips and smiled lightly, shaking his head.

"Not good enough. If I had found the water bank sooner, my leg wouldn't have ended up like this."

As he said this, he sighed again.

"Is there another stage next? With this injured leg, I can only try my best to complete it... If I hold you back, don't blame me."

The man in white looked at Su Yu’s leg and really didn't dare to let him continue to the next stage.

"You should rest for a while; your injuries are too severe. If you drag this leg to the final stage, it's very likely you won't make it."

Su Yu thought for a moment, had to nod, and asked the last crucial question.

"Then, after I return to reality, will the injuries on my leg be brought back to reality?"

The man in white was surprised to hear this and raised his eyebrows.

"Have you never been injured before?"

"No."

0 ... .......

The man in white could only sigh and explain to him.

"You will be injured, but the injuries will be half of those in the secret realm. For example, if you make your leg bloodied here, you might only have a few cuts when you go outside, and the recovery speed will be faster than before, so you don't need to worry about that."

Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good, I thought I would have to drag this rotten leg forever."

"How can you say that about yourself..."

Hearing the man in white about to ramble on, Su Yu showed a helpless expression and quickly interrupted him.

"Alright, let's not talk about this. Let's go out first and get some rest."

The man in white nodded.

The next second, Su Yu returned to the dense forest of the ruins. He looked down at the wound on his leg and found that it was indeed as the man in white said; there were only a few knife marks on his leg, but they were still oozing blood.

Su Yu bandaged himself briefly and planned to stay at the Giant Rhino ruins for a few days before continuing to the next stage.

One day later.

Su Yu was surprised to find that the wound on his leg had already scabbed over, and the blood scab even had a tendency to fall off.
