Chapter 617: 472 Chapter The Meaning of Vows (Two in One)_2

After all this, Hu Peng also lost his last bit of strength and collapsed next to the lizard with his legs giving out.

“What… what is happening…?”

Paul and Weiss had just arrived at the scene.

The two had been running, searching for the direction, and were much slower than Hu Peng and the others.

“Such a huge monster! Boss, are those two gentlemen okay…?”

Shocked by what he saw, Paul seemed momentarily lost for words.

“They’re injured like this, do you think they could be okay!”

Weiss glared at this employee next to him, feeling somewhat speechless.

“Stop standing there and come help me rescue them!”

With those words, he stepped forward and immediately rushed into the scene.

Paul hesitated briefly. The two monsters in front of him were too gigantic, and although they appeared motionless now, who could tell if they were truly dead?

His thoughts raced, and ultimately, he gritted his teeth and rushed toward the beach following Weiss.

“You go check on him, I’ll handle this side!”

Weiss said pointing at Xun You, then he himself ran towards Hu Peng.

Paul hastened his steps, but saw the man who had earlier claimed to be Huo Dou lying motionless in a pool of blood with burn marks on his clothes.

Just seeing this scene, he could imagine how cruel and fierce the fight with the monsters must have been.

“How are you…?”

He squatted down, somewhat unsure of what to do as he looked at the man before him.

When it comes to combat skills, Paul, being an outstanding bounty hunter, was quite skilled.

But now faced with such a critically injured person, he felt bewildered.

He didn’t know how to heal.

Considering the severity of the injuries, his only thought was to take him to a hospital.

But from here to the nearest hospital was at least twenty minutes, and given his injuries, it seemed he might not last that long…

“In the… pocket…”

Just as Paul was debating what to do, he heard a faint voice from beneath him.

He looked down and saw the man’s mouth slightly moving, as if he was trying to say something.

Quickly leaning in to listen, once he caught the content of the man’s words, he immediately reached into his shirt pocket.

No shirt, nothing!

No pants either!

Growing increasingly anxious, Paul’s eyes caught sight of a few inner pockets on the man’s open shirt.

His face lit up with hope; he quickly reached inside and pulled out a small pouch.

Paul didn’t care what it was at this point. If the man was still murmuring about it now, it must be important.

Upon opening the pouch, a yellow flower appeared inside.

Paul was startled.

What is this?

A wildflower?

Looking at the wildflower in his hand that grew four leaves, he became very confused.

What did this man tell me this flower for? What was his purpose?

Could it be something significant to him, a keepsake maybe from a loved one he wanted me to deliver after his death?

His eyes were full of confusion.

It wasn’t his fault.

If it had been an elixir or something else that might hint at healing,

But such an ordinary-looking wildflower, it was actually a unique item capable of healing wounds.

However, Paul didn’t know, and not knowing didn’t mean others wouldn’t know.

Behind him, Weiss’s voice suddenly came through.

“Hurry up! Stuff that flower into his mouth! Find a way to make him swallow it!”

Swallow it?

Paul was startled, then suddenly snapped to his senses.

By now he had also guessed what to do and immediately stuffed the entire flower into Xun You’s mouth.

However, the trouble at this moment was that Xun You seemed to have lost consciousness and was unable to complete the swallowing motion.

Paul could not concern himself with anything else at that point, so he stuck out two fingers, pressing the flower into the other’s throat.

He didn’t know if this would work, but it was all he could do now, a desperate move for a desperate situation.

Fortunately, Xun You’s body responded instinctively, or perhaps his consciousness hadn’t completely faded.

Feeling the foreign object in his mouth, his throat muscles moved, and he finally managed to swallow the flower with difficulty.

Immediately following, a scene that dumbfounded Paul occurred.

As the flower entered his stomach, the wounds on the person’s body began to heal at a rate visible to the naked eye.

The flesh that had been torn by claws seemed to come alive, writhing and then knitting together.

Xun You’s face, pale from blood loss, also gradually started to regain its color.

The entire person miraculously regained vitality from the brink of death within just a few seconds.

“Huh…”

Xun You let out a slight breath and slowly opened his eyes.

He had thought today was certainly his end, having been repeatedly attacked by that lizard. Even with the effects of Constitution Enhancement, his body almost couldn’t hold up.

Fortunately, as they say, there’s always a way out. Ultimately, he had survived.

Now, he was extremely grateful that he had exchanged 10 Contribution Points for a Four-leaf Flower.

Otherwise, by this time next year, the grass on his grave would probably be very tall.

However, his situation was still not very optimistic.

Even with the Constitution Enhancement, the injuries he had suffered were too severe for one Four-leaf Flower to heal completely.

It could only restore a bit, enough to keep him from dying immediately.

Thus, he still needed further treatment; otherwise, he wouldn’t last a long time either.

With difficulty, he raised his right hand and opened his Star Network Terminal. A holographic projection appeared in his hand.

After pressing one of the emergency rescue buttons, Xun You finally relaxed and then said to Paul:

“Cough, cough, please take us to a more secluded place, preferably with a courtyard…”

Paul, still shocked by the black technology he had just witnessed, was momentarily stunned when he heard Xun You’s words, then he quickly responded,

“A secluded place? Then let’s go back to the tavern, there’s a big courtyard behind it. Would that be okay?”

Xun You nodded.

At that moment, the woman holding the girl came over, her face full of worry, and asked:

“Sir, are you okay… Thank you for saving us just now. Is there anything I can help you with? I will definitely try my best… Ah, right, do you need to go to the hospital? I have rented a car here and can take you there!”

Xun You looked at her, then at the little girl by her side, and then he slightly shook his head.

“No need, the danger here isn’t resolved yet. You better leave quickly.”

The woman moved her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but after seeing the unequivocal determination in his eyes, she held her words back.

“Thank you all, really, thank you. Lili is my life, thank you for saving her! Here’s my business card, if you need any help in the future, feel free to reach out at any time!”

She said, handing a delicately made business card to Xun You, then took the little girl’s hand, constantly looking back as they left.

Watching the little girl turn her head to look at him, and her dirty yet continuously waving hand, a genuine smile appeared on Xun You’s face.

Although he had pledged in the past and had made up his mind, those were just thoughts.

Now, having put his convictions into action, he truly understood their meaning.

He felt that everything he had done today had been worth it.

In this moment, no matter how severe the injury, even if his life was hanging by a thread, or he had almost fallen, Xun You’s heart was warm, harboring not a single regret.
