873 - 873 Portal","reincarnation-of-the-strongest-healer-chapter-873",873,"\u003Cp>873: Portal 873: Portal Time seemed to pause for a moment as two possible decisions could be made.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was to allow Carmen to fall and dodge the incoming whip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doing so would cause Carmen to be hanging in midair and possibly receive more whips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in return, he could remain on the bridge and get another chance to pull her up later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second choice was to immediately assist her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was an extreme risk, and the possibility was high that he would still be pestered by the imps and end up being dragged down by Carmen anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would have to be ready to receive the electrified whip on the spot and lift Carmen up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this method, only he would receive the damages but Carmen would be safe and sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, it was either to be selfless or selfish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Argh, I should have brought Kai instead.’ Xu Feng cursed silently and ultimately chose to be selfless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, he was cunning and petty most of the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He admitted it, but that was just him trying to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Carmen was someone whom he recruited after doing his best to show her that he was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he had no intention of making her doubt herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he dared to recruit someone who was known as the demoness in his past timeline, then he had long prepared to take responsibility for all her actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hold on, Carmen.” Xu Feng gnashed his teeth and increased his strength to lift Carmen up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the meantime, multiple whips crackled through the air, their electric arcs illuminating the dark expanse of the obstacle course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The imps crackled with glee and malice as they lashed out at Xu Feng, clearly anticipating him to be submerged in a web of searing pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp snap echoed as the first whip struck his shoulder, sending a jolt of numbing electricity coursing through his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His muscles spasmed, but he refused to let go and kept his posture perfectly still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Just what kind of electric whip is this?’ Gritting his teeth, he tightened his grip on Carmen, pulling her up inch by inch despite the overwhelming pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could sense that another whip was coming out, but Carmen had yet to grasp her hand on the end of the bridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It appeared that the intensity of the gravity had increased dramatically, resulting in the difficulty of lifting her up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carmen was equally frustrated by the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She heard the whipping and laughter of the imps, followed by the sound of impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a doubt, Xu Feng had been struck, but the pulling strength hadn’t decreased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, it remained steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘This isn’t some Up challenge!’ She cursed inwardly, realizing that everything was a hoax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Carmen attempted to climb back up with the help of Xu Feng, more whips lashed against his back, followed by another wrapping around his arm like a venomous serpent, sizzling as it burned through his defenses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Feng hissed in pain, his vision blurring for a split second, but he refused to falter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everything’s fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just climb back steadily.” He endured the pain and tried to keep his voice calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand,” Carmen responded gently, but she knew the strain he was enduring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She frowned a bit and hurriedly shifted her weight and kicked off the edge to push herself up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I got it—let go!” She shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Xu Feng noticed that she was ready to be pulled up now, he wasted no time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were imps who seemed to have noticed Carmen was getting to the bridge and had started shifting their attention toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a final and forceful tug, Xu Feng hoisted her onto solid ground just as another whip streaked past his face, narrowly missing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t avoid those on his arms or legs because he needed to maintain his posture, but he sure as hell could move his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Xu Feng was in a completely sorry state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clothes generated by the System already showed signs of being forcefully torn and blood had begun to drip down on the bridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Guild Leader?!” Horrified, Carmen had never seen him in such a state before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go,” Xu Feng hurriedly grabbed her hand and tucked her to his side, promptly avoiding the whip that landed in her previous location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without another word, Xu Feng turned around and continued to advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having endured many whips, he came to realize that his previous conjecture was somewhat incorrect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does the electric whip hurt like a truck?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Absolutely!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But does being hit by the electric whip mean failure?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Absolutely not!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whippings were meant to damage him and force him to give up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the imps would stop chasing if they were to fall from the 5F.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t appear at the ground level up to the 4F, which proved they had to be the guardian boss in the 5F.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t guardian boss, they were at least another tough obstacle placed here meant to dampen their motivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two hastened their pace, they suddenly noticed a portal up ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh, is that an exit path?” Stunned, Carmen didn’t understand the appearance of another portal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Seems like a possibility.” Xu Feng nodded and pondered whether to enter the new portal or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truth be told, he had completely mistaken this for an Up Challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had a similar appearance to it, but everything so far was unpredictable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mini-Game A was designed to torture the players and force them to be in a predicament at every turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you want to leave this place?” Xu Feng asked softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll listen to the Guild Leader’s arrangement.”  “…”  Hearing that kind of response, Xu Feng speculated that Carmen was definitely not trying to take the lead anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or more importantly, she didn’t want to feel the emotion of guilt or frustration that stemmed from her decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s just take the portal then.” Xu Feng exhaled softly and ultimately gave up on this Mini-Game A.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that he didn’t want to challenge further, but this black-hearted System refused to let him recover from the damage received from the imps’ electric whip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘If prolonged, I’m just going to become slower and our time would run out.’ He thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>",1054,"2026-05-30T17:23:19.252Z","2026-06-01T04:31:46.889Z",1,"novelbin.me","c5fd736c72742bd46b713863317dec1f86d6c51a28ec014071190ef0e3516e2f","reincarnation-of-the-strongest-healer-chapter-874","reincarnation-of-the-strongest-healer-chapter-872",1471,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freincarnation-of-the-strongest-healer-cover.jpg"]
