This is the dandelion spirit, the萤草!
The little creature chirped a couple of times, incredibly cute. Then, the萤草 floated above the injured. She waved her dandelion, and instantly, streams of green light emanated from her, enveloping the severely wounded.
In the next moment, something miraculous happened. Many of the severely wounded, who had been bleeding, found their blood loss halted. Their wounds even began to slowly heal.
The intense pain and heavy blood loss had brought these casualties to the brink of death, but after being bathed in the green light, they all felt a surge of strength returning to their bodies.
Don't underestimate this small increase in strength. Sometimes, being able to hold on for a few more minutes is the difference between life and death!
The萤草 floated back and forth in the tent, her green light flickering. She released five rounds of green light, then stuck out her tongue and wobbled over to Yuugongiyui.
Yuugongiyui quickly embraced the萤草. The萤草’s face was pale, her lips tinged with blue. It was clear that her full exertion of magic had temporarily depleted her energy.
Yuugongiyui affectionately stroked the萤草’s head and then placed her into the spiritual realm space.
At this moment, a little girl, appearing to be just over ten years old, walked among the injured beside Yuugongiyui.
This little girl was dressed in luxurious pink attire embroidered with lifelike peach blossoms, as if they had grown directly onto the fabric.
In her hands, the girl held two peach branches, laden with blossoms that continuously emitted a sweet fragrance.
The little girl skipped among the wounded, her fragrance wafting everywhere. The injured felt their pain lessen upon smelling it, as if they had been given anesthesia.
They could also sense their wounds slowly recovering. Although the healing speed was not as rapid as the萤草's, the recovery felt incredibly comforting.
The condition of the severely wounded improved visibly. Several of them were temporarily out of mortal danger, which brought a sigh of relief to the doctors and Aurora Kuiyite present.
Yuugongiyui did not cease her treatment. She took off a bell, placed it on her arm, and began to dance in the tent.
As she danced, waves of warm red light radiated from her, enveloping everyone in the tent.
The injured felt their depleted stamina slowly being replenished!
Even more astonishingly, the healing speed of their wounds also accelerated!
Suddenly, a commotion erupted outside. A figure descended from the sky, startling everyone. As they raised their weapons, they realized it was Ling Tian, and everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief.
Ling Tian went directly to Aurora's side.
"Aurora, what's the situation?"
"Ling Tian, the attackers have all been eliminated, but our casualties are also heavy. More than ten people died, and over a dozen are severely wounded.
Fortunately, Sister Yui is very capable, and the injured are not in immediate danger. However, the doctors are understaffed and overwhelmed…
Oh, and regrettably, the leader of the鲛人 managed to escape…"
"It's fine, that guy didn't escape. I took care of him!
I'll help with the treatment of the wounded now!"
Ling Tian immediately joined the rescue efforts, significantly easing the pressure on the medical staff.
With his Heavenly Eye divine ability, Ling Tian could ascertain the internal injuries of patients without medical equipment. He directly intervened, using acupuncture to seal damaged blood vessels for those with severe injuries and administering elixirs to sustain their lives.
After more than four hours of diligent work, the condition of the injured stabilized. Everyone then pitched in to transfer the wounded to the Ice Queen.
The bodies of the dozen deceased were placed on the ice, arranged in a line. Ling Tian took out a talisman, activated it, and ten fireballs slowly floated towards the corpses, gradually covering them. Within seconds, the flames dissipated, leaving only ashes.
Aurora dispatched personnel to collect the ashes in urns, preparing to transport them back for burial. The families of the deceased would also receive substantial compensation.
The Kuiyite Consortium had always been generous to its subordinates, which was one of the reasons they were willing to serve the Kuiyite family wholeheartedly.
At this moment, the ice encasing the entire large ship had shrunk by half its volume, and everyone had retreated onto the vessel.
Aurora stood on the deck, raised her staff, and chanted. Next, a chilling aura emanated from the ice beneath the ship. This cold air gathered and was then absorbed into Aurora's body.
Everyone watched as the ice beneath the ship visibly shrank. In less than half an hour, all the ice had melted.
Just then, Captain Svenson dispatched two crew members to dive into the water to inspect the ship's hull and propellers.
After the crew members completed their inspection and reported back to Captain Svenson, the captain's expression was grim.
Although their ship was built on a naval vessel's foundation and its hull had been reinforced with thick armor, water possessed a peculiar property: expansion and contraction with temperature.
While most substances expand when heated and contract when cooled, water was an exception. Upon freezing, water drastically expands, and this expansion could cause immense destructive power.
Even throwing a sealed iron can full of water into a refrigerator could result in it being destroyed by the expanding water inside.
"Captain, how is our ship? Can it sail normally?"
"Aurora, Mr. Ling Tian, I sent divers down to inspect. The situation is not optimistic. The hull has sustained some damage, but it's manageable. However, the propellers have suffered structural damage and are deformed.
We can still sail for now, but our speed cannot exceed ten knots. Beyond that speed, I cannot predict the consequences.
My recommendation is that we reach the nearest port as soon as possible to reinforce the hull and replace the propellers! Otherwise, in the vast Pacific Ocean, if the propellers fail, we'll be in serious trouble!"
Aurora turned and looked at Ling Tian with affection. "Ling Tian, what do you think?"
