Chapter 56: Worsening Injury
"What's going on? Still no news about Luoyu?" Juzi asked Wang Shaojie anxiously.
Wang Shaojie shook his head, sighed, and said, "There is no other way. I have tried my best to find it, but..."
Maybe Su Yu is really dead...
In fact, whether it was Keke, Wang Shaojie or Juzi, they all had such a guess in their hearts, but they were unwilling to believe it. The only thing that could support them to continue to persevere was that Luoyu’s body and belongings had not been found yet.
At this moment, a shocking explosion was heard from the distant forest, and mixed with the shocking explosion was the howling of wolves in unknown pain.
The sound quickly spread throughout the forest, and the aftermath of the explosion quickly dissipated.
As everyone looked on in astonishment, a figure driving a broken soul guide device rushed out of the raging forest fire at a precarious pace!
"That's Luo Yu, he's still alive! Save him!"
Juzi recognized at a glance that it was Luo Yu's, and immediately gathered everyone to quickly move towards Su Yu. Looking at the many students of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy gathered together, Su Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Looking at the anxious look on his face, Su Yu couldn't help but smile, "It seems that the trouble is over..."
When his tense spirit relaxed, his consciousness gradually became blurred, and then he fell into a warm embrace.
"tangerine……"
Looking at Su Yu who was held in Juzi's arms, Ke Ke stepped forward and asked, "Is Luo Yu okay?"
Orange slowly spoke, "Large areas of my right leg are burnt black. I lost too much blood, and the wound is infected..."
"Then what should we do? Judging from the current situation, even if we send Luoyu to the college hospital, it will be too late." Wang Shaojie said anxiously.
Although Su Yu has been rescued, his situation is still not optimistic. As far as the current situation is concerned, there is nothing that can help Luo Yu.
"Don't worry about it. Stop the bleeding first. Ask other students if they have any medicine. If they do, treat the wound and make sure Luo Yu can hold on until help arrives!"
Not long after, when everyone was busy handing the hemostatic drugs in their hands to Orange, Su Yu also woke up at this time.
At this moment, Su Yu stopped Ju Zi from applying medicine and bandaging him, and said, "Help me up!"
"Luoyu, what are you going to do?"
"Don't ask why, just help me up!"
Hearing this, Juzi put Su Yu's arm on her shoulders and gently helped Su Yu stand up. Her movements were extremely gentle, for fear of touching Su Yu's wound.
Seeing Su Yu summoning his sword spirit, everyone's faces showed horror. Did he know that he couldn't hold on until help arrived, and he really wanted to amputate to prevent the wound from worsening and endangering his life?
The long sword broke apart and turned into countless fragments that began to rotate around Su Yu's wound. Pieces of flesh flew out, and a large amount of blood splattered. Orange, who was holding Su Yu, was covered in blood.
"Luo Yu, don't..."
Before Juzi could finish his words, Su Yu's legs were already covered with wounds and traces of large amounts of flesh and blood being cut off.
Orange could clearly feel Su Yu's body trembling. Su Yu felt that his right leg had been completely pierced through. The fragments of the martial spirit pierced his skin, fascia, flesh, and even left marks on his bones.
This kind of pain, which was like being tortured to death, was simply unbearable. Su Yu's forehead was covered with sweat. Although he tried his best to control his body, he was still shaking. He grasped Orange's sleeves tightly with both hands and his teeth were chattering.
What is he doing?
With the same question in mind, no one spoke to disturb Su Yu. Su Yu silently endured the great pain with his eyes bulging out, trying his best to keep himself conscious.
In fact, Su Yu was not hurting himself, nor was he amputating to save his life. This was an emergency!
Use the fragmented martial soul as a scalpel to cut off the festering and infected parts. As long as the leg can be saved temporarily, Orange can be fully competent for the subsequent hemostasis treatment. After all, as a soul master, basic treatment is a compulsory course.
"If you really can't help it, just shout it out..."
Looking at Su Yu's painful expression, a tear of guilt slipped down from the corner of Ju Zi's eyes. She didn't know what to say, except gratitude and guilt. If it weren't for Su Yu, they wouldn't have been able to hold on until they could meet up with the other students, let alone escape the beast tide...
This scene made classmates Ke Ke and Wang Shaojie clench their fists. It was all their fault that they were unable to protect Luo Yu. If Luo Yu had not attracted the attention of the beast tide alone, all three of them would have died in the beast tide.
"Luo Yu..." Ke Ke's eyes slowly welled up with tears, her heart filled with guilt, "Please don't be in any trouble..."
Wang Shaojie also clenched his teeth, his nails dug deeply into his palms, a faint trace of blood dripped down his fingers, but he seemed to be oblivious, "Luo Yu, you..."
Orange gently hugged Su Yu's body, looking at Su Yu's eyes that were still clear. An indescribable pain rose in her body along with Orange's blood.
Only she knew what kind of pain Su Yu was going through.
Su Yu felt a sudden pain on his shoulder, and he couldn't help but bite Orange's shoulder.
"hiss……"
Orange shuddered all over. The feeling was not only painful, but also a slight numbness like an electric current. Then her mind went blank.
Am I being taken advantage of?
That’s not right, but it doesn’t seem like I’ve lost anything, I…
Because of this, Orange fell into a state of confusion, holding Su Yu blankly with a bewildered look on his face.
As the infected, ulcerated and necrotic parts were removed, the pain suddenly eased. Su Yu opened his mouth and breathed in big gulps. His chest heaved violently and his body was sweating profusely again.
As a large amount of blood was lost, his face turned ashen. Coupled with the severe pain Su Yu was enduring, no matter how strong his willpower was, he could not withstand such torture. After all, he was not a fool with someone helping him in the head.
As the pain suddenly subsided, Su Yu's spirit also fell into a state of extreme exhaustion. He knew that this was the instinct of the human body, and even a soul master could not avoid it unless he had other mental support.
"Stop the bleeding, treat the wound..."
As he spoke, Su Yu's voice became weaker and weaker, and then his eyes went dark and he fell into a coma again.
Before he fell into coma, Su Yu was still praying in his heart, hoping that my method would work, and that the wound would not get worse before help arrived...
Looking at the unconscious Su Yu, who was still leaning against the tree holding his orange, he fell into deep thought.
"You little bastard, you're really cruel..."
Gently wiping the teeth marks left by Su Yu, it was obvious that Su Yu had bitten her hard. Holding the unconscious Su Yu, Orange quietly opened her collar, revealing her fair and tender skin.
The only flaw is that on this skin as smooth as milk, there is a row of neat teeth marks deeply imprinted, and on top of these teeth marks, there is residual blood. Looking at the bite marks, Orange himself is not sure whether it will leave scars.
After emergency treatment, Su Yu's condition was still not very optimistic. His originally rosy face had now turned ashen, due to excessive blood loss and the impact on his internal organs.
Pinching Su Yu's wrist pulse, she could clearly feel that Su Yu's wrist pulse was getting weaker and weaker. If she didn't treat him, this little guy in front of her would really die here because of his serious injuries!
"I have to stay calm and make sure Luo Yu's vital signs are maintained by the time Teacher Xuan gets here."
She carefully took out clean water and gauze, cleaned and bandaged the cut part of Su Yu's leg, and sewed up some larger cracks with needle and thread. A lot of blood stained her clothes along with Ju Zi's arm. Her hands were shaking slightly, and her heart was shaking too. All of this was caused by her, so how could she calm down?
However, the most terrifying thing was yet to come. She thought Su Yu's injury was only on his right leg, but after she treated the wound on his right leg, she discovered that there were some fragments on Su Yu's back that had penetrated the skin and pierced into the flesh.
Looking at the fragments embedded in Su Yu's back, Ju Zi's trembling hands could no longer be controlled, because these fragments happened to be stuck on Su Yu's heart. If there was any mistake, his heart would be damaged, and his life would be very likely to be lost here...
All she could do now was to try her best to maintain Su Yu's vital signs, but Su Yu's body was gradually getting colder due to excessive blood loss. Orange, who had been holding Su Yu, also realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly opened the protective shield and held Su Yu tightly in her arms.
He hoped to warm Su Yu's body with his body temperature, but Su Yu had already fallen into a deep coma.
In Su Yu's spiritual sea, Su Yu only saw darkness. There was no sound, no light, only despairing darkness...
"Am I unconscious or dead?"
Before falling into a coma, Su Yu had tried his best to alleviate his injuries. Although he could feel that his injuries had been treated, the most serious ones were still internal injuries.
However, the strangest thing is that although his spirit has been awakened and he can perceive changes in the outside world, he has been trapped in this dark spiritual sea.
This place was like an abyss without light, trapping him here, and he was silently enduring the fear of the unknown.
He didn't know how long he had been here. Su Yu only felt that his senses were gradually lost. Apart from the darkness in front of him, he could no longer sense anything...
I hope I'm just unconscious temporarily, and there's nothing else in this damn place...
In this explosion, almost all of Su Yu's protective soul guides were blown to pieces. Fortunately, he was still alive.
After a long wait, Xuan Ziwen appeared in a flying soul guide. The flying soul guide behind Xuan Ziwen looked like the wings of a dragonfly, seemingly soft and thin, but as the wings spread out, they had already enveloped the four people.
Ke Ke reached out and touched the seemingly fragile light film, but the light film was surprisingly tough. If Su Yu was still awake, he would definitely be able to recognize what this soul guide was.
"Teacher Xuan, I..."
Juzi hugged Su Yu and spoke guiltily, but was interrupted before she could finish her words.
Xuan Ziwen turned around and looked at Su Yu, whose breath was getting weaker and weaker, and said angrily: "I will punish you when I go back and see how you have trained. I asked you to take good care of Luo Yu, and this is how you do it!"
Xuan Ziwen was indeed furious. He thought that this time, with Wang Shaojie, Keke, and Juzi leading him, there would be no problem. After all, these people would soon become level 4 soul mentors.
Among them, Orange has officially become a fourth-level soul mentor after studying for a period of time.
But the reality gave him a hard slap in the face. When he received Orange's distress signal, he felt that his teaching had been severely trampled upon.
The students he taught unexpectedly encountered a beast tide. If Luo Yu had not chosen to sacrifice himself, everyone would have escaped. In the end, Luo Yu was seriously injured and on the verge of death.
It all seemed like a joke played by God on him, a joke that seemed so unreal...
After returning to Mingdu, Xuan Ziwen used his authority to arrange for Su Yu to be sent to the best medical facility as soon as possible. Fortunately, Su Yu's right leg was saved.
But the soul master in charge of the treatment said something that shocked Orange, Keke and Wang Shaojie, "If the necrotic and ulcerated parts had not been removed in time, the child's leg would probably not have been saved. You made a very wise choice. I want to know who handled the removal of the wound at that time?"
"It should be you. Your clothes are all stained with his blood. I have to say that your decision was wise. You saved his leg. Yes, you are indeed a student taught by the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy. You deserve encouragement."
As he spoke, the soul master in charge of the treatment also praised Orange generously.
However, what he said next really surprised the other party.
"I just stopped the bleeding for him. As for the festering and infected parts of the wound, he cut them off himself..."
"Impossible, how did he manage to perform such precise excision? If he cut deeper in some places, it would damage the arteries. Even if he did it himself, he would not be able to bear the pain. Did you give him drugs to reduce the anesthesia?" The soul master in charge of the treatment seemed to not believe that a person could endure a resection surgery like torture by his own will.
However, Orange and the others just shook their heads, then walked into the ward and took on the responsibility of taking care of Su Yu.
In fact, with the strong desire of human beings to survive, there is no pain that is unbearable, not to mention Su Yu, a time traveler. In terms of the degree to which he cherishes his life, the four words "cherish life" are simply ingrained in his bones and soul.
Looking at the haggard Su Yu, Orange felt mixed emotions. Looking at the young face in front of him, Orange's heart could not calm down for a long time.
How old is this little guy named Luoyu? He looks three or four years younger than her.
"Why are you so worrying, you bastard? Don't die, or Teacher Xuan will really kill me."
For some reason, the more Juzi looked at Su Yu's face, the angrier she became. Finally, she burst into tears and reached out to pinch Su Yu's face.
"Cough cough cough..."
At this moment, Su Yu opened his hazy eyes and looked at the slender hands pinching his face. Su Yu looked at this angry senior sister helplessly.
"Sister Orange, please respect yourself!"
Su Yu struggled to push away Juzi's slender fingers, rubbing his face which was a little red and swollen from being pinched by Juzi, with a look of grievance on his face.
I finally woke up from my coma, and it's good enough that you thank me for saving your life, but you still want to ravage my face?
Looking at Su Yu's face that had regained its rosy color, Orange hugged Su Yu excitedly, "It's no wonder that you have cooking skills comparable to mine. You have survived a disaster. I will never let anyone hurt you in the future."
Su Yu's eyes went dark and his head was pressed directly into Juzi's arms. It was not until a long time passed that he regained his sight.
Well, Su Yu actually wanted to say, what if it happens again...
"Sister Orange, please move aside first. You are pressing on my injured leg..."
A miserable scream echoed throughout the ward. Orange was startled and then quickly jumped up from the bed.
Orange is really good at taking care of people, but this is only limited to cases where the injuries are serious. Once Su Yu is out of danger, Su Yu will have to suffer from Orange's torture.
Although his meals had improved a lot during the half month of hospitalization, he still had to keep in mind Orange's torture, especially Su Yu's precise resection surgery. Orange kept talking about this until Su Yu was discharged from the hospital.
