Chapter 98 Everyone Injured
Ling Yu bit her hand hard, drawing blood, and the pain brought her back to some clarity.

Seeing that she was surrounded by two wild beasts and about to be rammed into them at any moment, she gritted her teeth and continued to focus her mind on the branch under her hand, indirectly connecting it to the withered grass behind the beasts.

She closed her eyes, with only one thought in her mind.

Tie the beast down and stop attacking. Then, the withered grass grew at a visible speed, as if it had purposefully entangled the beast.

He raised his sword and slashed down fiercely!

With a soft "plop," blood spurted from the beast's body, but it was not killed; instead, it struggled fiercely.

Soon, the beast broke free from the entanglement of the dry grass and launched another attack.

Ling Yu's heart sank. She continued to use her superpower to stop the beasts. She became more and more skilled at it, able to bind the beasts with vines and manipulate withered grass to regenerate at will.

Whenever someone is about to be fatally attacked by a wild beast, she controls plants to block the attack and narrowly escape.

But her strength was soon exhausted, and she fell to the ground.

Just before she hit the ground, she manipulated the leaves to fall and cushion her fall, preventing her from being seriously injured. However, she no longer had the strength to connect with the energy of plants.

Just then, two wild beasts charged fiercely at her.

Ling Yu had fainted on the ground, her eyelids barely able to stay open, and she could only vaguely watch herself about to be hit and killed.

All that could be heard was a sharp, urgent roar:

"language--"

The next second, scalding hot blood sprayed all over her face. The last thing she saw was Li being violently struck by a wild beast, his back and chest covered in blood, falling heavily to the ground, looking like he was dying in agony.

Ling Yu lost all consciousness.

In the darkness, she couldn't open her eyes; she could only hear a crackling sound of distorted signals, followed by a system voice:
[Host, are you alright?]

Ling Yu couldn't see anything and felt like she was in a virtual space. She felt no pain, but the scene before she fainted flashed through her mind, and her heart sank.

"System, how is Li? Are my people alright?"

"what happened?"

"Are those beasts still fighting against the beasts?"

She was very anxious, but she couldn't wake up at all.

The system mechanically communicated: [Host, please don't worry. Your excessive use of your powers has overloaded your body, preventing you from waking up. The system is currently repairing your mental energy.]

[Your mastery of your abilities has improved, allowing you to manipulate more plants. However, you were unable to fully handle the crisis you faced this time. Please act according to your capabilities next time.]

Otherwise, your life will be in danger!

Ling Yu couldn't hear any of that. All she knew was that her people were still on the brink of life and death, Li Geng was at risk of dying trying to save her, and there were other beastmen.

Too many wild animals have been cleverly lured here!
Moreover, they are all enormous, possessing strength and speed. More importantly, they have thick hides and are tough, so even if they are slashed by a large knife, they can still fight to the death.

What to do? What to do now?

"System, I just want to know how everyone is doing?" she asked anxiously.

[Host, the battle is over. You can find out more when you wake up. Your Beastmaster's favorability has increased overall. The system rewards you with: 6 bottles of Mental Energy Potions (for special situations, increasing your ability usage limit); and your overall physical attributes are improving! Constitution +30; Strength +30...]

[Congratulations, host, for unlocking the side quest: Enhance tribal cohesion, work together to overcome difficulties, and escape the Misty Forest! This will unlock infrastructure capabilities and grant you a comprehensive infrastructure package containing skills related to building, education, healthcare, and commerce.]

Hearing this, Ling Yu's tense heart relaxed a little.

Since the system has given her a new task, does that mean that her people are still alive after dealing with the beast horde attack? Otherwise, why would she be doing infrastructure construction?
Before she could think further, she felt streams of power flowing into her body.

Besides the system repairing her, her overall physical condition was improving. It was as if she had regained her strength, impurities in her body were being gradually eliminated, and her muscles and bones felt subtly strengthened.

She felt warm all over and unconsciously became immersed in it, losing consciousness again.

When Ling Yu woke up again, the first person she saw was Lie. His face was pale, his lips were dry and stained with dried blood. Seeing that she was awake, he said urgently:
"Yu, how is she?"

Ling Yu panicked and quickly sat up to check on Lie's condition, but then she found herself in a cave.

Lying all around her were her people. Shao leaned against the mountain wall, clutching his bloodied chest, barely alive; Bai and Xu sat weakly together, watching over the unconscious Li; Qiu, covered in bruises and blood, nestled with the equally wounded Ruo and Xin, weeping silently…

Li Ping lay beside her, his entire upper body seemingly soaked in blood, his face pale. If it weren't for his weak breathing, he would have looked dead. Xuan leaned against a rock, coughing up puddles of blood from time to time, weak and powerless. Beside him was Tail, which had transformed into a fox beast and curled up into a languid and weak ball.

There were others, all of whom collapsed weakly to the side.

Inside the cave, the air was thick with the stench of blood, and an endless silence and despair...

Ling Yu's heart clenched with pain, her throat felt choked, and she couldn't utter a sound. She forced back her tears, "How...how could this happen?"

Lie raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes, weakly saying, "Don't cry..."

Ling Yu sniffed, quickly grasped Lie Bingliang's hand, and choked out, "I won't cry, don't talk, you should rest."

Then, he looked around the cave, a sense of doubt creeping into his mind.

No, not everyone is present.

Where are Liu and Yue's people?

Just then, Yao helped Shen stand up, limping. Both of them were injured, but much better than the others.

"Yu, you're finally awake. Don't worry, I'll tell you something."

From Yao's words, Ling Yu finally learned what had happened after she fainted.

Li shielded her from a fatal blow and then completely lost consciousness. Lie and the others were also seriously injured in the battle with the beasts. It was clear that everyone was exhausted and would be worn down if the fight continued.

Liu and Yue then decided to use themselves as bait to lure the beasts away.

Fortunately, the beasts were in large groups, and most of them chased after Liu and Yue. The remaining few were killed by the group.

To prevent other wild animals in the forest from being drawn by the scent of blood and causing them further harm, Chen, whose injuries were relatively minor, found a cave nearby with Yao's help and carried everyone back one by one.

"Have Liu and Yue returned?"

Ling Yu pressed for an answer, and Yao shook her head bitterly: "No, we went back to look for them, but we couldn't find them at all."

In fact, the probability of survival in such a situation is extremely low.

Being chased by a pack of beasts, and with Liu and Yue already injured, and besides that pack of beasts, there were many other hidden wild animals in this misty forest, their chances of survival were slim.

Ling Yu's heart sank suddenly, and the image of Liu Heyue being killed by wild beasts flashed through her mind, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

They must be safe and sound.

"Cough cough..." Coughing sounds echoed in the cave, and everyone groaned in pain, some even vomiting blood again.

Ling Yu didn't have time to think about anything else. She quickly took out the first-aid kit from her backpack, opened it, and said anxiously, "Yao, Chen, please help me treat everyone's wounds."

Yao stared in shock at the thing that had appeared out of thin air. "This...this is?"

"I'll explain later. Watch me do it once first."

Ling Yu took out iodine, helped Lie up, carefully applied it to the deep scratches on his chest, sprinkled on some medicine powder, and then tore off the bandage.

Yao and Chen watched intently from the side.

Once Lingyu has completed the entire process, she will have a general idea of ​​what's going on.

"Apply the medicine to yourselves first, and then you can help others." Ling Yu noticed that the two of them also had injuries, but they were enduring the pain, so she quickly gave them this advice.

Then, she began to apply medicine and bandages to Xuan and Lie one by one.

Fortunately, the system had provided medical supplies beforehand, which were sufficient to handle this emergency. Ling Yu forced herself to calm down and tend to everyone's wounds.

Relatively speaking, she was the least injured.

Because the system repaired her body and improved her overall physical condition, she now has the energy to do more things.

Yao and Chen no longer held back in this situation, applying medicine to each other's backs before starting to treat the other wounded.
