Chapter 58: What Happened to My Leg?

"Run!"

Su Yu didn't say a second word; after shouting this, he turned his head and ran. Feeling the slight tremors of the ground, Ju Zi, Wang Shaojie, and Keke all realized something was wrong.

They hurriedly took out their respective Flying Soul Guidance Devices and flew off in another direction, but it seemed their Flying Soul Guidance Devices had limited speed, and the roaring sounds of various Soul Beasts in the distance were getting closer and closer.

"Did Teacher Xuan not give you any other Soul Guidance Devices? If this continues, I'll be caught sooner or later."

Being carried through the air by Wang Shaojie, Su Yu felt helpless. After all, Xuan Ziwen was a peak Level 7 Soul Engineer; surely he would have prepared some self-defense items for his own students.

Like an All-Terrain Detection Soul Guidance Device or some other defensive Soul Guidance Device—if you have one, take it out, brother!

Just as Su Yu was looking at Wang Shaojie with full anticipation, Keke's words from the side poured a bucket of cold water on him, chilling him from head to toe.

Keke looked at the small Beast Tide behind them with lingering fear, "Teacher Xuan did give us Soul Guidance Devices, but because of an accident last time, they were still at Teacher Xuan's place for repairs. Many core arrays had malfunctions, and we didn't prepare that many for this trip, so..."

"So we ran out here without preparing anything at all, and now we can only wait for this wave of small Beast Tide to disperse?"

Although Su Yu didn't need to exert much effort right now, feeling the Beast Tide getting closer behind them, if they couldn't find a place to hide, the few of them would inevitably be buried under this Beast Tide.

Ju Zi looked at the faintly glowing light in the distance and said with unusual calmness, "Don't worry, we can go and rendezvous with other students. Accelerate at full speed, and use Milk Bottles to recover when necessary. Go!"

The faintly glowing light in the distance and the moving detection-type Soul Guidance Device—although it wasn't an All-Terrain Detection Soul Guidance Device, it seemed less complex by comparison. All of this was observed by Ju Zi through the Soul Guidance Device in her hand.

As the smell of blood gradually dissipated, the Beast Tide behind them became increasingly sparse, but a considerable number of Soul Beasts were still chasing. To Soul Beasts, Soul Masters themselves were a kind of tonic; after all, the flesh and blood of a Soul Master could not be compared to ordinary flesh and blood.

A quarter of an hour passed, and Wang Shaojie's breathing began to become unstable. Under the condition of flying at full speed while carrying Su Yu, his consumption was naturally greater than the others.

Looking at the several wind blades speeding toward them from behind, Su Yu was filled with despair, "Damn it, don't do this, I don't have a Flying Soul Guidance Device, don't..."

Several wind blades pierced directly through Wang Shaojie's Soul Guidance Protective Barrier. Su Yu had to break free from Wang Shaojie's Soul Guidance Device; if he didn't come out, he would definitely be chopped in two at the waist by the wind blades.

"Luo Yu!"

"Wang Shaojie, what are you doing!"

"This is bad, save him quickly!"

A spherical Soul Tool appeared in Ju Zi's hand. With a flick of her wrist, she threw the Soul Tool directly to Su Yu. Fortunately, Ju Zi reacted quickly, but her next sentence left the three people present dumbfounded.

"It's over, Luo Yu, dodge! I threw the wrong one, that's an offensive Level 5 Soul Guidance Device used for blasting!"

Looking at the spherical Soul Guidance Device in his hand that was still emitting a red glow, Su Yu's eyes widened like copper bells, and his skin twitched.

Huh? Level 5!

Did you just throw a bomb at me?

And I'm stupidly holding it in my hand. If you want to kill me, just say so, don't torture people like this. Damn it, it's going to explode...

As the upper hemisphere of the spherical Soul Guidance Device slowly rotated, Su Yu hurriedly threw the thing away. Holding a bomb that was about to explode in his hand—it would be a miracle if he didn't throw it...

Boom!

The spherical bomb, having flown only seven or eight meters, exploded with a bang. A violent roar rang out aggressively. The spherical Soul Guidance Device emitted a blinding light; not only was the Beast Tide below affected, but even the falling Su Yu was caught in the blast.

After the blinding light faded, Su Yu's vision went black, and he lost consciousness, falling directly into the Beast Tide below.

That terrifying power instantly made the herd feel inexplicable fear. As the explosion dissipated, a dozen Soul Beast corpses lay mangled. For a moment, the movement of the entire herd was instantly affected.

Dust rose everywhere, the Beast Tide scattered in a panic, and Su Yu's figure was nowhere to be found.

It's over, it's all over now...

The same thought surfaced in the minds of Wang Shaojie, Keke, and Ju Zi.

Su Yu was missing and seriously injured, and the reason for the serious injury was actually at the hands of Ju Zi...

This, how can we explain this when we go back? Say that Luo Yu was played to death by Ju Zi...

No, no, no, we absolutely cannot say that, otherwise Ju Zi's days will be numbered.

Looking at the scattering herd below, Keke was sweating profusely and shouted anxiously, "Why are you dazed? Go save him! If anything happens to Luo Yu, we're all going to suffer!"

However, with the Beast Tide dispersed and Su Yu missing, they had no idea where to start looking...

The three of them each chose a direction to search for him. Although they already had the answer in their hearts, they just didn't want to believe the fact.

What would happen to a Second Ring Soul Master who fell into a small Beast Tide? The outcome was imaginable.

But, is Luo Yu really dead?

No, in fact, Luo Yu was currently lying unconscious on the back of a Soul Beast that had been overly frightened by the explosion of the Soul Guidance Device.

It was just unknown whether he could wake up before this Soul Beast calmed down. Either Su Yu would wake up and fight this Soul Beast to the death, then be eaten, or he would be eaten while unconscious—that way he would go peacefully, without a bit of pain.

If Su Yu hadn't used his Fragment Martial Soul to protect his body before the Soul Guidance Device exploded, plus a Level 3 Soul Guidance Protective Barrier, he would have been killed instantly and gone down that very night...

What the hell is called a surprise? This is called a surprise!

My own senior sister used a Level 5 Soul Guidance Device to blow me up; is there any justice left!

However, nearby students were alarmed by the explosion of this Soul Guidance Device and happened to receive Ju Zi's distress signal. The surrounding students all rushed toward the location where Ju Zi was.

After half an hour of searching, the three of them still had nothing to show for it. Just as they were sitting limply on the ground, a student appeared before them carrying Su Yu on his back.

"Eh, Luo Yu?"

"It really is Junior Brother Luo Yu!"

"This…………"

…………

This could be considered a stroke of luck in misfortune. A student passing by nearby received their distress signal and, on the way over, discovered that there was a student from the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy on the back of a Soul Beast.

Seeing that Su Yu was not very old, he thought he had encountered the Beast Tide, so he just happened to save him.

Although he didn't know what Su Yu had encountered, looking at the large patches of charred black on Su Yu's right leg, he guessed a little. If Su Yu were still conscious, he would likely have been able to tell from the subtle expression on this senior's face that he had guessed wrong.

Probably another junior brother who blew himself up playing with a Soul Guidance Device...

However, fortunately, this storm had finally passed without any danger. Looking at the unconscious Su Yu, Ju Zi stepped forward to take him, leaning him against her chest to check his physical condition.

"Thank goodness, his vital signs are normal. You scared me to death..."

Ju Zi couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, no lives were lost. As long as Su Yu's vital signs were still normal, there was a chance for treatment.

Through Ju Zi's distress signal, others arrived one after another. After confirming everything was correct, they didn't linger any longer.

After a period of stabilization, Su Yu finally woke up, but he looked at his charred leg and the blood slowly seeping out.

Even with one's toes, one could guess this was due to excessive blood loss and a wound infection, but given the medical means on the Douluo Continent, one still had to rely on a Soul Master for treatment.

However, this time it felt as if Su Yu had met his lifelong nemesis; it must be said that Su Yu also wanted to know how such a talent could exist in the world of the Douluo Continent.

He, Su, had thought he was already a force of nature on the Douluo Continent, and it would be no exaggeration to call himself a Sleeping Dragon, but this time he had encountered his evenly matched rival, the Young Phoenix, Xiu'er.

"Junior Brother Luo Yu, why is it you?" a young man looked at Su Yu with some surprise and spoke.

Looking at the young man opposite him, Su Yu was somewhat bewildered; it seemed this person did not exist in his memory at all. Could it be that I've been exposed?

Just as Su Yu was thinking, the young man spoke first: "My name is Liu Jieming. It's normal that you don't recognize me. I am also a student of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Guidance Academy. I was there when you defeated Zhou Hantian last time."

"Oh..."

Although Su Yu truly did not recognize this person, since the other party had spoken, he had to reply at least.

"What happened to my leg?" Looking down at his charred right leg, Su Yu looked at Ju Zi with some confusion.

Ju Zi's expression was somewhat nervous, her eyes darting around, and she stammered for a long time, "I, I, I..."

"It was likely blown up," Liu Jieming said after observing it carefully.

"No wonder it hurt so much," Su Yu frowned slightly as he looked at his leg, which was still slowly seeping blood.

Wang Shaojie, who was to the side, looked at Su Yu's mangled leg and couldn't help but sigh, "This wound has also worsened. If it isn't treated immediately, it will likely have to be amputated..."

What, amputated? I, Su, am handsome, dashing, and talented, and you actually want to amputate my leg!

"Then what should we do? If it continues to worsen like this, not only your leg, but your life will be lost," Keke said anxiously from the side; after all, they all bore responsibility for this incident.

Just as everyone was at a loss, Liu Jieming handed Su Yu a packet of medicinal powder, "Don't worry, everyone. I have a way now; I have a packet of medicine here."

Looking at this packet of medicinal powder, Su Yu looked at the other party with slight suspicion and asked, "What medicine?"

Who would have thought that Liu Jieming would scratch the back of his head in embarrassment, "My dad stuffed it into my hand when I was leaving for school."

"What does your dad do?"

Under the suspicious gazes of everyone, Su Yu's brows furrowed tightly as he looked at the somewhat foolish young man before him.

"My dad runs a medicine shop," the young man lowered his head in embarrassment.

For some reason, watching Liu Jieming's actions, the doubts in the hearts of Su Yu, Ju Zi, Keke, and Wang Shaojie grew even greater.

"Really?"

"Really..."

"Are you sure?"

"Sure..."

…………

Finally, under the intense questioning of the group, Liu Jieming told the truth, "Uh, alright, my dad sells fake medicine. He didn't have anything good to give me before school started, and seeing a packet of fake medicine left over in his pocket, he just stuffed it into my hand..."

Pfft...

Ju Zi spat a mouthful of water onto the face of Su Yu, who was sitting opposite her. Su Yu's eyes widened, and he nearly choked to death.

Keke and Wang Shaojie looked at Liu Jieming in astonishment. After a moment of silence, they clutched their stomachs and laughed until they fell to the ground, unable to stand up several times.

Opening the paper wrapping, a sour, foul stench rushed out. Su Yu threw it away subconsciously; that smell was truly intoxicating...

"Damn it, did your dad wrap this in a dirty sock? Why is there such a sour, foul smell?"

Su Yu couldn't help but complain about that packet of medicinal powder. He didn't know how long that smell had been fermenting; the moment he smelled it, Su Yu nearly vomited his dinner from the night before.

Ju Zi was still carefully wiping the water stains off Su Yu's face. When she smelled that indescribable sour, foul stench, her nausea was even more severe than Su Yu's.

"Uh, it's possible. Why don't you try it? Maybe it will actually be useful?" Liu Jieming said, looking at Su Yu's disgusted expression.

Su Yu was truly unable to complain about this idiot anymore, "Don't you even ask your dad if this thing is actually usable?"

"Didn't I just say? My dad sells fake medicine. The medicine the old man sells, even he doesn't know what it cures." Liu Jieming lowered his head in shame as he said this.

At this, Wang Shaojie, who was to the side, stared at the medicine packet emitting a strange odor in the distance and asked in confusion, "Then why did your dad give it to you? To harm people?"

"Stop nagging, you two. Hurry up and get the medicine back. Regardless of whether it works or not, let's try it first."

Ju Zi, who was supporting Su Yu, was also getting anxious. According to the time it would take for Xuan Ziwen to arrive here, it would take at least another two hours. Now, no matter what, they had to stabilize Luo Yu's injury.

"My god, what is so smelly? Your dad didn't really wrap it in a dirty sock, did he..." Keke pinched her nose, her face twitching. In her mind, she couldn't imagine what could brew such an earth-shattering smell.

"No, absolutely not!"

Looking at that earth-shattering packet of medicinal powder, an instinctive resistance arose in Su Yu's heart; even his leg felt fear.

If his leg had consciousness, what it said might be: Don't come over here!

The entire situation fell into silence. Whether to treat this leg or not—if it continued to worsen, Su Yu wouldn't just lose his leg; he might even lose his life.

"Your leg is injured like this, how about..." Listening to Liu Jieming's words, Su Yu felt an instinctive chill down his back. Everything that came out of this guy's mouth was a damn terrible idea!

"How about what?"

"Amputate it..."
