Lin Yu’an and others were almost swept away by the sudden battlefield that took place in front of them. Fortunately, they were quick to react the moment Xie Ziyuan gave his cue, withdrawing quickly.
A little helpless, Lin Yu’an pulled the husky-like Du Yufei along. The latter was standing in his spot unmoving as if he had been scared silly.
Xie Ziyuan fought against the four beastmen without being at a disadvantage at all. They were relieved when they saw that, so they didn’t stay to watch.
"Second brother, are you alright?" Leng Yi hurriedly went over to his brother’s side. "Where is our third sister?"
Leng Jun saw the reddish blood mark on Leng Yi’s neck and pursed his lips, feeling guilty. Based on the criminal’s words, they had captured this fourth brother.
Originally, he didn’t believe them at all, considering they had a reputation for killing and kidnapping. Lying must have been something as easy as breathing for them.
Suddenly, the token in his pocket felt heavy. There was too much weight just from taking this token away...
He had implicated a lot of people.
"Ting’er is unconscious," he pointed at the girl whose head was bandaged. Leng Jun took a deep breath and said with remorse. "It’s my fault. I made trouble and failed to protect her."
The villagers had a healer among their members, luckily, but her power was weak. The treatment she could give to Leng Ting was minimal, only barely stopping her bleeding head.
One criminal had smashed her head on a huge tree.
It was because, instead of going to find Leng Jun, she went to follow the group of four criminals secretly. Her action enraged them.
Leng Yi’s face became grave. He stood up and ran to Lin Yu’an. Currently, they were distributing medicine diluted in water for everyone.
"Lin Yu’an, can you help my sister, please? I beg you to save her." Leng Yi’s eyes were already brimming with tears. "She is bleeding from her head."
Lin Yu’an was taken aback. "Where is your sister? Quick, lead me to her!"
Leng Yi grabbed his sleeve, almost half-dragging him toward Leng Ting’s location. It wasn’t her who had been knocked unconscious. Many beastmen suffered the same, but their condition was relatively better.
"You can control water, right? Open her mouth." Lin Yu’an spoke. He originally wanted to give one complete pill but decided against it.
If the pill was diluted in water, it would lose some effectiveness, but Leng Ting was unconscious, so in order not to choke her, he had to use water carefully.
Leng Yi froze when he heard that. "I-I..."
"I will do it." Leng Jun trudged toward them, but soon he found the pain was too much and started crawling.
"I will help you, second brother. Don’t push your injured legs like that..." Leng Yi hurriedly scooped Leng Jun and brought him to Leng Ting’s side.
Seeing this, Lin Yu’an didn’t insist anymore, suddenly realizing he might have touched a sore topic for Leng Yi.
Not all beastmen awaken an ability. All of them were born with one, however, awakening it was another matter. Some awakened it naturally while others needed some sort of trigger. The rest had their ability staying dormant for the rest of their lives.
Leng Jun was somewhat strict with his younger siblings at times. At normal time, he would have felt ashamed having his younger brother to carry him, but at this moment, he could careless.
Leng Yi set his brother down beside his third sister, whose face was so pale that it looked bloodless.
"Let her drink first, control the amount of water entering her body," Lin Yu’an told them. He subconsciously remembered his sister’s treatment whenever he was sick. Drink some water before getting the medication.
They opened Leng Ting’s mouth and poured some water, which was conjured by Leng Jun. Albeit he was injured, he still has some energy left to use his ability.
Lin Yu’an hesitated for a bit before he asked Leng Jun, holding a pill in his hand. "Can you use your water ability to dissolve this pill in her throat?"
The two brothers’ faces brightened when they saw the pill in Lin Yu’an’s hand. Leng Jun nodded fiercely. "Of course, or course, I can."
After Lin Yu’an slowly put the pill in Leng Ting’s mouth, Leng Jun controlled the pill using the water he had conjured, slowly bringing it to her throat and letting the pill stay there until it dissolved.
He breathed heavily once he was done. Such an exhausting activity had strained him mentally. His eyes began to blur, yet he could still faintly see Leng Ting’s rosy color returning to his cheek.
A little relieved, he blacked out.
"Second brother? second brother!" Leng Yi shook his brother in panic. He turned to Lin Yu’an, seeking someone who might be able to answer him.
Lin Yu’an took Leng Jun’s pulse. His heart was still beating...
"He is not dead, he might just be exhausted," Lin Yu’an could only offer comfort in the most awkward manner. He didn’t have much experience with this. The only person he ever comforted was his sister.
However, this kind of feeling also wasn’t bad...
Leng Yi subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing the siblings’ close bond, Lin Yu’an suddenly missed his sister. He was wondering, what would she be doing at this moment?
He only pondered briefly before he got up again. It wasn’t the time to daydream. Although the pills were limited, he still needed to give them to the injured beastmen. He would give them to people who suffered serious injuries first.
At this moment, Leng Chuan finally came over. His face darkened when he saw Leng Ting’s unconscious state.
The battle between Xie Ziyuan and the four criminal beastmen was still ongoing. Two of the criminal beastmen had awakened their power. One was based on strength while the other related to fire.
It didn’t seem like it was going to end soon. Moreover, Xie Ziyuan and the four were evenly matched. Unless there was another power which could break the balance between the two, the battle would need a while to conclude.
Even with four beastmen ganging up on him, Xie Ziyuan was very adept at evading their relentless attack. When it came to retaliating back, he was equally ruthless, striking their vital parts.
Su Yining, who logged into her game, panicked when she saw the scene. In her perspective, it was Xie Ziyuan getting beaten up by four beastmen...
