Chapter 837: Chapter 20: Moonlight Illuminates White Bones

“In the next few days, we’ll need to cover at least fifty miles a day in a straight line, so we can intercept the Northern Barbarian King ahead of schedule!”

This is what Bai Yan said to Li Fei and the others.

In the Wilderness Jungle, marching a straight-line distance of no less than fifty miles daily at such an astonishing speed is something only a team like the Savage Killing Army can achieve.

According to Bai Yan’s estimation, as long as they maintain this speed and everything goes well, they will intercept the Northern Barbarian King in seven days!

Nothing happened during the night.

At 4 AM the next morning, before dawn, Bai Yan ordered everyone to take the elixir, then start marching.

By noon, the Savage Killing Army had crossed the jungle, climbed over a small mountain, and surpassed countless rolling hills, covering thirty miles in a straight line.

All the Blue Patrol Pavilion martial artists responsible for paving the way were exhausted to the brink of collapse.

Even with abundant Replenishing Essence Elixir to replenish energy, the body is not made of iron; muscles will ache, heart power will deplete, and even the implant will have a fatigue period, unable to continuously absorb energy and provide it to the human body.

Bai Yan finally ordered a rest.

Li Fei, as usual, arranged for someone to patrol the perimeter and waited for the scouts at the forefront to return with a report.

A moment later, a Blue Patrol Pavilion martial artist returned, carrying another person.

Li Fei raised an eyebrow and proactively approached:

“What happened?”

“Marquis, we encountered an exotic beast, and he was injured by it.”

The man put down the martial artist he was carrying, revealing that the person’s chest and abdomen were drenched in blood, with the entire abdomen nearly ripped open, the intestines completely severed!

These two were scouts sent out.

On the path Bai Yan designated, the Savage Killing Army had not encountered any enemy until now.

But in this Wilderness Jungle, danger is never solely human.

“Marquis, I’ve applied healing medicine to him, but it can only barely stop bleeding. Such wounds…”

The surrounding Blue Patrol Pavilion martial artists gathered around, and those skilled in medicine recognized at a glance that while the injuries could be treated, the person would completely lose combat capability afterward.

Only extremely precious Healing Holy Medicine could heal him in a short time.

But the injured scout is merely a Body Breaking Stage martial artist, hardly worth using Healing Holy Medicine on.

Those who gathered around remained silent.

The Savage Killing Army still has a long way to go and an important mission uncompleted. A person who has completely lost combat ability cannot keep up with the main force.

Should we assign someone to carry him the entire way?

Should we leave someone behind to look after him?

Should we escort him back?

This is a war!

So none of these options are practical.

“Marquis…”

Severely injured, the martial artist with a pale face managed a difficult smile and said to Li Fei:

“Leave me some healing medicine and Replenishing Essence Elixir… I’ll stay here.”

“…”

There is silence.

The surrounding Blue Patrol Pavilion martial artists were well aware that this was the only choice!

This made them all somewhat sympathetic because if anyone among them suffered serious injury next, this would also be their final outcome.

Li Fei calmly squatted down, gently placing his hand on the person’s abdomen, and a blue light flowed from his palm like liquid, entering the person’s body.

The person’s wounds began healing at a visibly fast rate!

Watching this scene, those around exclaimed in amazement.

They knew many Tao Foundation Stage strongmen possessed healing-type extraordinary abilities, but even core-level extraordinary abilities generally could only heal oneself, not others.

Li Fei actually had an extraordinary ability to heal others, and the healing effect was this powerful?!

A minute later, the previously heavily wounded scout stood up again.

Cheers erupted around.

“Marquis!”

Excitedly, the healed scout knelt on one knee before Li Fei:

“Thank you, Marquis, for saving my life!”

Li Fei calmly helped him up and patted him on the shoulder:

“Be careful in the future.”

Then he turned and left to continue organizing tasks.

The news spread quickly throughout the entire Savage Killing Army.

The three thousand-plus Blue Patrol Pavilion martial artists under Li Fei’s command felt morale soar upon hearing the news!

The other three thousand-plus Imperial Camp Army members also felt encouraged.

After all, having someone like Li Fei, a ‘Divine Doctor’, in the team certainly provides a sense of security.

After resting for over two hours, Bai Yan ordered the army to continue marching.

On the road ahead, the Savage Killing Army still encountered no enemies, but five scouts fell to exotic beast attacks, and three were seriously injured, whom Li Fei saved with ‘Green Divine’.

Until past 9 PM, Bai Yan ordered the entire army to camp and rest.

Today, the Savage Killing Army advanced over sixty miles in a straight line!

“Marquis, Bai Commanding Officer invites you.”

In the evening, a trusted aide came to Li Fei’s tent and whispered.

Li Fei got up, walked out of the tent, and followed the trusted aide to Bai Yan’s tent, then entered alone.

Inside Bai Yan’s tent was a simple wooden table holding a map, and as Li Fei entered, Bai Yan was bent over the map sketching.

“Commander Bai.”

Li Fei greeted.

Bai Yan stood up and nodded at him: “Sit.”

The seats were simply two wooden stumps.

Once seated, Bai Yan directly inquired:

“I heard Marquis Jing’an saved four severely injured scouts today?”

Li Fei’s eyes shifted, nodding: “Yes.”
