Chapter 394: Irreparable
Zhang Mu’s weakness from having his blood drawn was immediately apparent when the Blood Lotus Seed left his body and fell to the ground.
Although the Blood Lotus Seed had previously drawn blood from his left arm, because it was still residing within his body, this blood continued to nourish his dry meridians.
However, when the Blood Lotus Seed broke through Zhang Mu’s skin in pursuit of Lian San and fell into the soil, it was akin to completely draining all the blood from this entire arm from Zhang Mu’s body, leaving him now half kneeling on the ground.
Yuan Rui, in a state of anxiety, watched as both Obsidian Beetle and Zhang Mu suffered such severe injuries, unsure of what to do for a moment. They were both second-rank beings, repairing the strength of second-rank beings, combined with the severity of their injuries, so at the moment, they could only save one person.
Obsidian Beetle appeared to be barely breathing, even the small serrations on his mouthparts had no strength to move. However, Zhang Mu’s injuries were equally horrific. Yuan Rui didn’t know why Zhang Mu’s left arm now resembled a mummy with little difference, but she knew it was due to the Blood Lotus residing within Zhang Mu’s left arm.
Their only goal was to attack the man who had injured the Obsidian Beetle earlier.
Why would they risk so much? The human body cannot be separated. Who says losing an arm won’t affect other functions? Taking such a risky move could cost Zhang Mu his life.
Yuan Rui’s healing power told her that Zhang Mu needed urgent treatment. When blood loss reaches one third, it must be replenished to avoid the risk of death.
Yuan Rui was in a dilemma, but seeing Zhang Mu kneeling on the ground, she clenched her teeth, apologized to Obsidian Beetle in her heart, and walked towards Zhang Mu.
Zhang Mu’s life was the most important. Yuan Rui reluctantly ignored Obsidian Beetle out of guilt. She knew if she didn’t save it, it might die, but she couldn’t ignore Zhang Mu.
As Yuan Rui gently touched Zhang Mu’s withered left arm, he suddenly reached out with his right hand, held her hand, shook his head slowly, lips pale, and said, “Save Obsidian Beetle. My issue won’t be fatal and you can’t solve it. Go save it before it’s too late.”
Hearing Zhang Mu’s words, Yuan Rui burst into tears, unwilling to let go of the hand on Zhang Mu’s left arm, crying, “But you’ll die too. What are you doing, risking your own life?”
Zhang Mu had no strength to explain to Yuan Rui, but he looked at her firmly and said, “Go quickly. There’s no time. Trust me, I know my body. I’ll be fine.”
“Won’t you let me try? I have healing abilities too. I’m an evolver in the healing department. Why are you always so sure you’re right?”
Every time Zhang Mu made decisions for her, but this time she wanted to do it herself, and Zhang Mu refused.
Zhang Mu didn’t speak, he just looked at her straight in the eyes, and took out a tube of second-rank healing potion from his right hand Era Merchant Ring, offering it to Yuan Rui.
Yuan Rui was about to get angry, but when she saw the dire state of Zhang Mu’s left arm, she held back her words. She knew she couldn’t argue with Zhang Mu, so she took the second-rank healing potion he handed her, stood up defiantly, and walked towards the direction of the Obsidian Beetle, muttering under her breath.
“When you’re really dead, no one will come to collect your body. You’re so stubborn, don’t call yourself Zhang Mu anymore, from now on, I’ll just call you Zhang Lu.”
Zhang Mu never expected that his decision would unleash the fiery side of Yuan Rui, he sighed with a bitter smile, not sure if it was good or bad, just looking at his completely withered left arm, he sighed deeply.
When Blood Lotus told him about this method earlier, she had informed him that there was no immediate way to restore the function of his left arm, in a sense, the arm was completely dead.
Yuan Rui’s second-rank healing and recovery abilities were unable to accomplish this, the only possibility Blood Lotus mentioned was to patiently wait for it to slowly recover on its own.
This recovery process was slow and very long because Blood Lotus’s power was now connected with Zhang Mu’s.
Even Blood Lotus couldn’t determine the specific time frame for this recovery, which was a key reason she advised Zhang Mu to be cautious.
But no matter how much he tried to persuade him, Zhang Mu insisted on taking Lian San’s life, and he had to do it this way.
If they delayed a little longer, even Blood Lotus wouldn’t be able to catch up with him.
Zhang Mu thought there might be another way that Blood Lotus didn’t mention, a third-rank healing potion that could possibly cure this injury, but Era Store wouldn’t release it at the moment.
Trading one arm for a man’s life seemed worth it.
As for the restoration of his left arm, Zhang Mu would have to take it one step at a time. Fortunately, it didn’t affect his fighting ability much. In fact, he could control an Obsidian dagger with his mind within one meter, which was just as powerful as wielding it with his hand.
Blood Lotus was now carrying Lian San’s body towards them. Zhang Mu had asked to keep the body, so Blood Lotus didn’t immediately digest it but kept it intact.
Despite its large size, Blood Lotus quickly approached them over a distance of hundreds of meters and came to a sudden stop.
Watching the massive vine wrapping into a ball, Hachikuju and the others couldn’t believe what they were seeing. They swallowed nervously, looking up at the ball that blocked out the light.
Hachikuju slowly remarked, “Is this the mutated plant that just sprang from Zhang Mu’s body? It seems far more powerful than Gesar’s plant, maybe ten times more.”
“Yes, it’s unbelievable that such a large mutated plant could hide inside a person’s body.”
Uncle Peng was surprised too. Actually, he knew more about the evolvers in Inner Mongolia’s main city than Hachikuju, the lord of the sub-city. In his memory, there was no evolver with a mutated plant able to grow within their body.
Plants root in soil, absorb water to grow, so isn’t Zhang Mu’s plant rooting in his body and feeding on his blood?
Suddenly, Uncle Peng realized he knew too little about this unfamiliar Era Sub-merchant, his expression became complex.
Hachikuju was quick-tempered but loyal, so when she saw Zhang Mu manifest a new awakening ability, she was simply amazed. Unlike Hachikuju, Uncle Peng had to consider many things, and now Zhang Mu’s revealed power exceeded their expectations by far.
