Broken Man

Xixi's mother stood there silently, struggling in her mind.

Water? This is not possible. Xixi will be sucked dry by the Iron Thread Bug and slowly die in pain. Kill her first before taking her out? With the Light Priest, she should be able to recover quickly. She could fully recover if she had time to recuperate for a few days.

What should she do? Which one was not risky? This was all her imagination. If something happened during the process, it was possible.

She was initially a person without a mind of her own. In addition, her personality was introverted. Usually, it was her husband who made the decisions. Now, Xixi's father had been swallowed by the bug long ago. He had turned into ashes and excreted out.

His throat was a little dry, like grinding stones, when he opened his mouth again. It would have been highly ear-piercing if not for his original gentle voice!

"Kill him first. However, take it out."

Xiao Wanqing nodded and looked toward Doctor Zhang. "I heard that you are a doctor. Do you know how to perform simple surgery?"

"Do your best. You know that there is no anesthetic or disinfection here. There is a high possibility that the wound will be felt."

Before he could finish, he felt wrong and shook his head in panic. He was thinking in the way of the old era just now.

"Isn't there a Light Priest standing here? D*mn, infection, they are afraid of this? It seems that the supernatural era is always hard to adapt to."

Xiao Wanqing satisfied him. "We must find a way to kill the Iron Thread Bug without hurting Xixi. Then..." Xiao Wanqing looked at Doctor Zhang. "We need a scalpel."

"That's all?"

"That's all."

"Don't worry. I will heal those wounds. There won't be any scars left." Xiao Wanqing, who had always been severe, could make a joke. This made Chu Xiang somewhat unbelievable.

...

"Is it dead?"

"Not yet. It is still alive."

"Is it dead?"

"Not yet, but its breath has become weak."

"Is it dead?"

"It should be." Xiao Wanqing said uncertainly.

Chu Xiang gasped for breath. It was hard to imagine what kind of work could make his sturdy body gasp for breath.

"Dr. Zhang, after we numb Xixi, you will be able to operate it. The others, please go out for a while. Yes. Xixi can stay."

Chu Xiang stood there and looked at Xiao Wanqing. The atmosphere was a little awkward.

"I saw you were confident and thought there was a way."

Chu Xiang scratched his head, and the corners of his mouth curved into a bitter smile. "If you think Xixi can withstand the physical paralysis method."

Xiao Wanqing rolled her eyes. After ensuring the other party's safety, she used a lot of mental energy to forcefully impact Xixi's mind, causing her to fall into a deep coma.

Dr. Zhang found a plastic glove and a silver scalpel somewhere.

Although he said he was not afraid of infection, he still did not want to touch the organs in his body with his hands full of bacteria.

Especially when there were strange things inside!

Xixi's face was slightly chubby, but the layer of fat on her abdomen was not thick. The scalpel quickly found the direction and slid in. There were no facilities, no support, not even needles!

Dr. Zhang kept hypnotizing himself that this was a supernatural era. He had to believe that the Light Priest could solve everything, but he could not help but be nervous.

What if I failed in the end? Will Xixi and her mother hate me?

Xiao Wanqing bit her tongue and forced herself to wake up. She didn't overthink it. She needed to steady her hands right now. Otherwise, a casual tremble could cause the sharp scalpel to cut through other organs!

Xiao Wanqing activated the healing spell to prevent Xixi from bleeding too much. However, this was a small control area, and she couldn't let it heal all of it. It was a matter of mental strength.

If she didn't have the strength of a low-level Tier 3, she would have exhausted her mental strength just from this "operation"!

Just when Dr. Zhang was about to open the stomach,

He could faintly see the black lines inside through the light, filling his entire stomach!

Dr. Zhang gulped. The silver blade slowly cut open the stomach, revealing the black lines from inside. His heart was in his throat! Fortunately, the black lines had just casually drooped down. It looked lifeless.

The arm holding the knife trembled slightly and cut half his stomach open. The "corpse" of the Iron Thread Bug slowly revealed itself from inside, causing Dr. Zhang's scalp to tingle!

Under the light, even the naked eye could see the spiral stripes on the black lines. Mutated species were still beyond their understanding.

Just as Dr. Zhang was about to take out the iron wireworm, Chu Xiang slowly approached and suddenly saw the black line shake!

The plastic glove had already touched the iron wire worm!

The "head" of that thing was faster than a bullet and directly "pierced" into the plastic glove, and the body behind it also began to coil up rapidly!

If Xiao Wanqing had not been releasing treatment at the side, Xixi would probably have been bleeding to death!

Dr. Zhang threw away the scalpel in horror and tried to grab the black line with his other hand, but it was too smooth and tender, so he could only slightly stop the other party's speed.

He could feel that the monster had invaded his body! Bit by bit, it dug into his flesh, and then those parts were unconscious as if the initiative had been handed over to the other party!

Chu Xiang reacted quickly, and his scaled hands directly pulled toward the Iron Thread Bug!

The scales opened slightly, increasing the friction between the two sides to the maximum. Coupled with Chu Xiang's strength, he pulled the black line towards Dr. Zhang!

It was good news that his consciousness had been returned. However, Doctor Zhang was enduring great pain at this moment! Blood filled up the place where the Iron Thread Bug had left. His nerves took over that area again, and the pain invaded his entire brain!

"Ah! - Ah! --"

It was better to pull out his tendons and bones than to pull out his bone marrow! Now, he could only shout to divert his attention!

The face outside the tent looked at each other and shuddered. Something had happened inside, but it was not wise to break in now.

The howls were deafening in the quiet night, and faint sounds could be heard from the tents at Xijiang University.

As the inheritors began to gather, Li Jiayu turned over and straightened her body, her gaze seemingly looking through the tent toward where Xiao Wanqing was.

"Damn it!"

He only wore a set of long johns before running over. However, there was a Spiritual Energy that was faster than him! With Kurumi as the dot, it swept through the entire encampment instantly!

He stood up, stretched, and muttered, "Alright, things are worse than I thought. Did that bug eat golden dust?"

On Chu Xiang's side, the Iron Thread Bug had been completely pulled out and was dancing around him!

The indestructible "soft steel bars" made the tent a mess! Xiao Wanqing released the protective film and left with Xixi in her arms. The young woman supported Doctor Zhang and followed closely behind.

Chu Xiang used all his strength without anyone disturbing him, but that was too long! Sparks burst out when the two sides collided!
