Chapter 1590: Recovered
After the young man came out, his face was filled with astonishment: "Chen Yu, what happened to my body?"
"What's wrong?" Chen Yu glanced at him.
"The wounds on my body, how did they disappear?" Zhao Ping steadied himself and asked.
"Hmm, recovered?" Chen Yu finally understood what the guy was surprised about. He nodded and said: "That's right. The medicine I used isn't ordinary medicine; it has excellent effects for stopping bleeding and regenerating flesh."
"Is it that magical? The injuries I sustained were fatal, yet you were able to make me recover in such a short time?" Zhao Ping muttered: "What a magical medicine. You actually have such means. By the way, is there any more of this medicine? Can you get me some?"
"Life-saving medicine generally cannot be mass-produced, so you can give up on that idea." Chen Yu couldn't help but glance at him: "Since your captain wants me to take you to complete the mission, then behave yourself for the next few days. After your wounds heal, we will talk in detail."
"Alright." Zhao Ping nodded slightly. Although he was tough-talking, he knew he had truly escaped death this time. If he had to do it all over again, he likely wouldn't have such good luck.
He was still young and didn't want to die here just because of a moment of bravado, so he could only wait until his wounds were better before saying anything else.
"Is everything alright?" Just then, Wu Bo walked over. Seeing that Zhao Ping had returned to normal, he finally set his mind at ease.
"Basically, he's fine." Chen Yu smiled: "It's fortunate that Wu Bo discovered him in time; otherwise, even an Immortal couldn't have saved him."
"Young man, you must thank Chen Yu properly. If it weren't for his superb medical skills, even if I had dragged you back, you would have been a dead man." Wu Bo looked at Zhao Ping and said: "No matter how young and impulsive you are, you must listen to the commands from above on certain matters, otherwise you will suffer a great loss. Do you understand?"
"I understand, Wu Bo. Don't worry, I will follow the arrangements from above, and such things will not happen again in the future." Zhao Ping nodded and bowed slightly. He was very respectful toward his savior, Wu Bo.
"Alright, go and rest. Xin'er, you wait outside for a moment; I have some things to discuss with Chen Yu," Wu Bo said.
"Alright, Wu Bo." Xin'er nodded slightly, turned around, and walked out.
In the small courtyard, Wu Bo sighed slightly: "Thanks to you today, otherwise I'm afraid I would have had to hold a funeral for this young man again."
"Indeed, he was quite severely injured." Chen Yu nodded: "If that blade had been a few fractions deeper, he likely would have died on the spot. Moreover, his physique is much stronger than an ordinary person's; otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to hold on for so long."
"Yes, he was also very fortunate to have met you. If you weren't here today, even if I had carried him back, he likely wouldn't have pulled through." Wu Bo looked at Chen Yu: "Your medical skills are very brilliant."
"I won't deny that." Chen Yu admitted it without reservation: "Back in the country, as long as the person still has a breath left, even the King of Hell cannot take their life."
"Good, haha, quite confident. It's a pity I met you too late, and you cannot be stationed here permanently; otherwise, I don't know how many children could have been saved by you," Wu Bo said.
"They are the final destination of heroes. Besides, I have some more important things to do, far more important than saving people." Chen Yu paused and said: "So, one can only say that meeting me is their good fortune, because not everyone who bleeds for the motherland can meet me."
"Yes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Your strength is so great; you must have more important things to do by coming here, right?" Wu Bo couldn't help but look at Chen Yu.
"Yes, very important matters." Chen Yu nodded: "Before coming to Fusang, I received a mission. A group of scientists was trapped in an undersea laboratory, and the other side sent out Onmyoji and Divine Officials."
"Then there must be something in that undersea laboratory, right?" Wu Bo couldn't help but be startled: "Otherwise, those Fusang people definitely wouldn't have gone to such desperate lengths to dispatch Onmyoji and Divine Officials."
"Yes, on the surface, the laboratory under the sea contains our important scientific research results, but in fact, it is the place where one of their so-called gods is sealed." Chen Yu nodded: "The reason they were so desperate to get there was to unseal their god."
"There is such a thing?" Wu Bo's expression turned serious. He asked: "Then who is the person they want to unseal?"
"Jiutun." Chen Yu thought for a moment and decided to tell Fu Bo the truth: "You should know this legendary figure, right?"
"I know. Here in Fusang, he belongs to the top three gods." Fu Bo was slightly startled: "His status is second only to the Great Serpent."
"Correct, that is exactly the figure." Chen Yu nodded: "That is why they would spare no cost to enter our territorial waters to do that."
"Did they succeed?" Wu Bo asked.
"Regrettably, they did. Jiutun's avatar has awakened, and the organization on their side has already accepted him. He is here now." Chen Yu said: "It's just that he has just awakened, and his body is relatively weak, so he hasn't been able to stir up any major trouble. However, it will likely be a troublesome matter once he recovers."
"It is indeed a troublesome matter. I have recently heard that there have been many murders here; the victims' hearts were hollowed out, and the deceased could even get up and hurt people. Does this have anything to do with Jiutun?" The expression on Wu Bo's face became serious.
"Yes, it has a great deal to do with it. After Jiutun awakened, he needed to nourish himself, and it is inconvenient for him to show his face, so he drives the Heart-Devouring Ghost to nourish him." Chen Yu nodded with a serious expression: "The things that have happened recently are actually caused by Jiutun."
"That is very terrifying. Although the Fusang authorities have suppressed this matter tightly, I know some inside information. I knew the problem was definitely serious, but I didn't expect it to have reached this point." Fu Bo's face changed slightly: "Then what shall we do next?"
"Try to go out as little as possible at night. This matter is not happening on our own soil." Chen Yu smiled and said: "Our goal is Jiutun, but this guy hid himself after coming here, so we might be able to find Jiutun through the Heart-Devouring Ghost."
"Understood. Is there any way I can cooperate with you?" Fu Bo nodded slightly; he knew the severity of this matter.
"No need. You just need to protect yourself well. Telling you these things is just to keep you informed so you know what's going on. I will handle the specifics," Chen Yu said.
