Chapter 37: Healing Wounds

Ye Feng saw on the screen that it was a small cottage located in the southern suburbs of City H. The interior was simply decorated, resembling an ordinary farmhouse.
“Although the situation is dire, it seems he’s been rescued by someone. I must get there as soon as possible,” Ye Feng said, frowning, before dialing Yi Fan’s number.
“Brother Yi, I’ve found him. Come over quickly. Let’s meet at Hupao Park in the south of City H, and I’ll take you there. Be careful on the way—someone might be watching us!” Ye Feng said without waiting to see if Yi Fan had gotten up.
“Got it. I’m on my way. Looks like I won’t need to brush my teeth or wash my face today…” came a lazy voice from the other end of the phone.
After hanging up, Ye Feng entered the Virtual Realm once again.
“Why are you in here again today?” Boy was browsing a novel titled Super Taobao on a shelf when he heard movement at the entrance. He looked up in surprise.
“I’m looking for something,” Ye Feng said as he began searching according to his needs.
“Sorry, the item you’re searching for exceeds the authority of a first-tier Realm Master and cannot be displayed!” A dialog box appeared in front of Ye Feng.
“What are you looking for? How could it exceed a first-tier Realm Master’s authority?” Boy also saw the suddenly appearing dialog box.
“I’m looking for something that can bring the dead back to life!” Ye Feng frowned.
“Joking. How could a first-tier item have such a thing?” Boy shook his head helplessly. “What happened? Let me think of other ways to help!”
“Brother Long…” Ye Feng explained Brother Long’s current condition to Boy.
“I see. His condition is due to severe injuries that caused a deep coma. He’s not dead. But if this persists for too long, it could lead to death. It depends on his willpower,” Boy explained. “In this situation, all you can do is buy medicines to heal his wounds, stabilize his mind, and restore his energy.”
“First, heal all his wounds to prevent deterioration and infection. Then stabilize his mind and strengthen his will to survive. Finally, give him some medicine to restore his energy and help him recover quickly,” Boy offered sensible advice.
“Got it. Thanks!” Ye Feng immediately bought a large amount of medicine and left in a hurry.

“Sigh, I originally wanted to tell you that there’s no need to waste domain values… But I just can’t bring myself to do it… Although the outcome will be the same, this might make you feel a little better…” Boy murmured to himself, staring at the tightly closed exit.

After buying the medicine, Ye Feng rushed straight toward Hupao Park.

By the time he arrived, Yi Fan and Kelly had already gotten there.

“How come you’re later than us?” Yi Fan asked casually.

“I bought some things, which took a bit of time! Come with me.” Ye Feng didn’t want to explain and continued rushing toward the small village to the south.

Yi Fan and Kelly followed closely behind him.

In less than half an hour, Ye Feng and the others reached the location indicated by the detector—the small cottage.

“Are you sure it’s here?” Yi Fan looked at the farmhouse in front of them, skeptical, and turned to Ye Feng.

“That’s right, it’s here!” Ye Feng nodded.

“Who are you guys?” At that moment, a farmer behind Ye Feng and the others glanced at them warily.

“Hey, sir, is this your house?” Ye Feng turned to the middle-aged man who seemed like an honest farmer. The detector had already shown his combat stats:
Strength: 37
Speed: 32
Mental Power: 31
Unknown Energy: 45
This farmer was far from as simple as he appeared, but in the eyes of the three of them, he wasn’t a threat.

“Who the hell are you guys?!” The man grew angry.

“Are the people inside your house the ones you rescued?” Seeing the man’s tense expression, Ye Feng realized he hadn’t followed them.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. This is my house. I’m a single man—who else could be inside?” The man tried to stay calm. “As for you, leave now, or I’ll call the police!”

“I’m Ye Feng, a friend of Long Tian. Anyway, I want to thank you for saving Brother Long.” Ye Feng extended his hand friendly-like.

“Are you really Ye Feng?” The man still doubted him.

“100% genuine.” Ye Feng took off his sunglasses from his nose.

The man took out a photo from his pocket, glanced at it, then looked up at Ye Feng before relaxing. “Who are these two?”

“I joined the Hunters. These two are my teammates!” Ye Feng smiled.

“Come in!” The man finally relaxed his guard and invited the three of them into the house.

“What’s this medicine in your basket?” Ye Feng looked at the herbs in the basket behind the man, guessing they were meant to heal Brother Long.

“It stops bleeding. His wounds are too deep, and the blood just won’t stop flowing. If this continues, I really don’t know what to do…” The man seemed very worried. “Tie Ge handed him to me, saying I must save his life, but I…”
“Where’s Uncle Tie?” Ye Feng then realized that Uncle Tie, who had been responsible for Long Ge’s safety, was missing.
“I don’t know… That night, he called me, saying he needed my help and asked me to come right away. By the time I arrived, he was already badly injured. He only told me to protect Long Tian and gave me a photo, saying I shouldn’t trust anyone except Ye Feng in the photo. After handing Long Tian to me, he left in another direction… If he’s still alive, he’ll definitely come back…” The man’s tone sounded somewhat despondent.
“You don’t know Long Ge?” Hearing this, Ye Feng gradually realized that the man didn’t seem to be one of Long Ge’s subordinates.
“I’ve heard of him, but I don’t know him personally. My real name is Ling Kai, and I’m not under Long Ge’s command. I used to be a killer, and Tie Ge saved my life. This is the only time he’s asked me for help, and I must fulfill it!” Ling Kai clenched his fist.
“I understand. Let’s treat Long Ge’s wounds now; he’ll recover…” Ye Feng casually took out some medicines, surprising the others.
“I’ll go watch outside!” Kelly turned away shyly after seeing Ye Feng remove Long Ge’s shirt, revealing his severely wounded chest.
“Kelly, thank you!” Ye Feng nodded.
Ye Feng applied topical medicine to Long Ge’s wounds, which healed at a visibly rapid pace, astonishing Yi Fan and Ling Kai.
He lifted Long Ge’s head and poured liquid medicine down his throat. Then, Ye Feng took another small box of topical medicine from the side and applied it to Long Ge’s temples before placing his head back on the pillow.
“What’s this?” Yi Fan, who had also studied medicine before, couldn’t help but ask.
“It stabilizes the mind…” Ye Feng was about to explain when a woman’s scream came from outside the room.
“It’s Kelly!?” The three of them exchanged glances and immediately rushed outside.
