Tomb Raiders: She Comes from the Ancient Martial Arts World

Panzi's condition is indeed very bad.

Not only was most of his body buried in the rock strata, but he also had a hole in his head.

Excessive blood loss, internal injuries, bone injuries, and respiratory burns—all were present.

The worst part is that most of his internal organs have been trapped in the rock for a long time. Pulling him out now may not only fail to save him, but may also hasten his death.

Panzi was stunned when he saw Ling Yue appear in front of him, and a sense of wariness subconsciously arose in his eyes.

But it quickly turned into a wry smile.

He said weakly to Ling Yue, "Little girl, thank you for coming to see me, but I can't be saved. You should leave now."

Before he could finish speaking, this rugged man in his fifties, his face weathered by time, suddenly shed two streams of tears.

Who can truly be unafraid of death?

He just couldn't let his own desire to live lead to the death of his youngest son.

He always hoped that the young master would live on.

Ling Yue ignored his words and instead took out the ink bamboo and tapped the rock strata in several places.

Only after confirming that it wasn't the kind of internal force she had encountered before, which felt like it was being absorbed by something, did she feel a little relieved.

Ling Yue then lifted Panzi's only exposed left hand, placed it on his arm, and quickly took his pulse to check the pressure on his internal organs.

Just then, another person approached from behind.

Panzi was taken aback again, then smiled in a relaxed way: "Hey bro, you're here too."

With Zhang Qilin around, he could leave with more peace of mind.

Zhang Qilin nodded to him and said, "I've let them go first."

Panzi was completely relieved, but still tried to persuade him, "You should go, I know my situation..."

Before he could finish speaking, he started coughing incessantly, and after he finished coughing, his breathing became even weaker.

Ling Yue turned his head and glanced at Zhang Qilin, meeting his gaze.

For some reason, in just one glance, Ling Yue felt as if he could see him asking: Is there anything I can do?

Ling Yue: "?"

what's the situation?

But now is not the time to think about these things. Regardless of whether this means it's a hallucination or not, since the person has come, they will have to be used.

Ling Yue didn't waste any words, and gestured with his chin at him, "Tear off his clothes and bandage his head."

It wasn't to treat Panzi's wounds, but to prevent the poisonous fog from rapidly seeping into his brain directly from the head wound.

Zhang Qilin looked down at his navy blue pullover, and without saying a word, reached into the shirt with one hand and ripped out half of a white tank top.

It's made of pure cotton, so it's softer and cleaner.

It was definitely more suitable for bandaging wounds than his outer garment.

Ling Duo glanced at it and thought to herself that she should wear a vest underneath more often in the future.

For no other reason than that there's fabric left over from the T-shirt that you can tear off when needed.

Each time, only the T-shirts are torn; after a few tears, they become crop tops.

No wonder he's a veteran with a long-standing reputation in the underworld; is this a testament to his experience?

Since there was extra cloth, Ling Yue instructed Zhang Qilin to tightly tie a strip of cloth around Panzi's neck, arms, and wrists.

"You'll have some difficulty breathing now, just bear with it." Panzi cooperated quietly the whole time, her face turning red from being strangled without uttering a sound.

Ling Yue admired him quite a bit, so she gave him a few more words of advice.

After bandaging it up, Ling Yue took out a milky white pill from his waist pouch and had Panzi put it in his mouth. "This can temporarily protect your heart and lungs and keep you alive. Let it dissolve a little before swallowing it slowly."

This pill cost Ling Yue a large portion of the hiring fee he earned from Xie Yuchen. Many modern Chinese medicines are artificially cultivated, and some special medicinal materials can only be effective when they grow slowly in a primitive natural environment.

Some of these items can only be seen in the collection rooms of certain powerful and wealthy individuals.

In other words, the Crescent Hotel is quite resourceful and can obtain many rare medicinal herbs, although they are a bit pricey.

In order to obtain this life-saving pill, Ling Yue embarked on a path of illegality and crime—privately purchasing certain protected wild medicinal herbs of dubious origin.

Even on that trip to Changbai Mountain, when she and Wuxie went their separate ways, she couldn't bear to give it to him.

Unexpectedly, it was ultimately because of him that I was consumed.

Thinking about this, Ling Yue felt inexplicably angry.

Zhang Qilin looked at her with some confusion, not understanding why she suddenly seemed to be in a bad mood.

Although her expression and movements remained unchanged.

He glanced thoughtfully at Panzi, whose complexion had noticeably improved after just a short while of taking the pill.

The pill dissolved into water and flowed down her throat. After a while, Panzi herself felt the extraordinary nature of the medicine. She was very grateful to Ling Yue and also felt ashamed of her subconscious wariness towards Ling Yue when they first met.

Panzi wanted to say something to express his gratitude, but unfortunately, his neck was being strangled, making it very difficult for him to swallow, let alone speak.

The reason Ling Yue only fed him the medicine after strangling his neck was that the medicine would be dissolved in liquid, making it easier to ingest.

Panzi's body is still mostly confined, so it's not suitable for him to take too much medicine to restore his vitality in a short period of time.

Similar to the pharmacological principle of "the body cannot tolerate tonics when it is weak".

After that, Ling Yue and Zhang Qilin began to smash and break the rocks.

These were all places that Ling Yue had tested in advance with his internal energy, and they were also the most conducive to the slow recovery of blood supply to Panzi's body, which had been imprisoned for an unknown period of time.

The white mist had almost sunk to mid-air, and Panzi couldn't help but feel anxious again, wanting to persuade the two of them to leave quickly.

Unfortunately, with undissolved medicine in his mouth and his neck constricted, he couldn't speak no matter how anxious he was.

Ling Yue and Zhang Qilin remained silent, but their movements were carried out in an orderly manner, with a slight increase in speed.

Once they finally managed to carve out the part of the plate above the thigh, blood circulation wasn't a major problem, and white mist had almost filled the entire cave.

That's too late!

Ling Yue said in a deep voice, "Get out of the way."

Zhang Qilin hesitated for a moment, then took a step back.

Panzi's neck was still constricted, but the pressure had eased somewhat.

Every major artery that had been excised from his body was tightly bound, physically suppressing blood flow.

Seeing this, Panzi said in a hoarse voice, "Young man, young lady, you should go! I can handle the rest myself!"

How could I possibly do it myself!

If Zhang Qilin and Ling Yue really retreat at this time, Panzi will surely die.

Ling Yue squatted down, not even raising his head, and gritted his teeth, saying, "I will not waste this medicine!"

She spent over six million on medicine, and even if she cut the whole thing in half, she could only take half of it with her.

His life must be saved today!

After saying that, Ling Yue slammed a punch containing powerful internal force into the rock wall!

The rescue took too much time. After successfully pulling the snake out, Ling Yue picked the person up and left without saying a word.

Ignoring Zhang Qilin, who was still seriously injured himself, he wanted to come up and help others.

“If you hold the bottom, I can’t guarantee we won’t hit the line.” Ling Yue finished speaking quickly, and before Zhang Qilin could respond, he had already used Panzi as leverage on the rock wall to leap over a gap in mid-air.

Zhang Qilin followed closely behind.

Ling Yue said she couldn't guarantee it, but in reality, she could easily pass through without the talisman.

Panzi was seriously injured. His legs below the knees had just been forcibly shattered by Ling Yue's internal force, and he had no feeling at all when they were pulled out.

He has no control over his limbs at all, and in this state, Ling Yue may inadvertently touch the silk threads at any moment.

Fortunately, Zhang Qilin was indeed reliable. Every time, he could accurately clamp the copper bell or silk thread, preventing the touched copper bell from making a sound.

After finally managing to jump out of the silk thread and copper bell array, Zhang Qilin stumbled and almost fell.

He inhaled too much alkaline water mist!

Panzi, who was being carried by Ling Yue, also coughed up a mouthful of blood and finally fainted.

Ultimately, there wasn't enough time, and the speed at which the rock was being drilled was too fast, which put a great strain on his body.

Panzi had just managed to hold on with her last bit of willpower, not daring to faint and burden Ling Yue.

Now that they had finally escaped the silk thread and copper bell array, their minds relaxed for a moment, and they could no longer hold on.

Seeing that the two of them were about to collapse, Ling Yue glanced at Zhang Qilin warily, fearing that he might also faint at the slightest provocation.

Meeting Ling Yue's gaze, Zhang Qilin secretly bit his tongue. The sharp pain and the taste of fresh blood helped him regain his composure.

He can no longer be a burden to her.
