After the war ended, while some people remained on alert, others were arranged to clean up the battlefield.
Without time to share the fruits of victory with their squadmates, nor the extra time to accept their congratulations on breakthroughs, Han Lang, Tang Geng, and Ma Long hurriedly carried the severely injured Zhao Wu back to the encampment.
After laying him flat on a comfortable single bed, Han Lang, disregarding his own rest, immediately grabbed Zhao Wu's wrist and began to diagnose him with focus.
"Fortunately, the Fan Jin Zhong only belongs to the spirit artifact level. As a life-bound weapon, being destroyed only caused a concussion to the heart meridian. Although the internal organs were all affected, the problem is not serious. I..."
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Before Han Lang could finish speaking, Zhao Wu began to cough violently again, and then immediately "whooshed" and vomited a large mouthful of blood.
This greatly distressed Liu Xiaoxiao, who was standing nearby.
"This is still considered fortunate? Han Lang, are you really sure?"
Han Lang shook his head calmly.
"After all, a life-bound weapon injuring the heart meridian will inevitably cause a significant wound. Don't worry, I'm confident I can heal him!"
Liu Xiaoxiao still couldn't help but feel some doubt after hearing this.
Although her chronic old illness had been cured by Han Lang, her own problem was completely different from Zhao Wu's current condition!
But the problem was, Han Lang's identity as a Divine Farmer Heavenly Doctor was right there. If she didn't believe him, who else could she believe?
After much thought, unable to refute, she could only weakly ask.
"But he's still spitting blood!"
Han Lang felt a mix of amusement and helplessness.
"Squad Leader Liu! I just said that Zhao Wu's injury is, after all, a backlash from his life-bound spirit artifact. And his Fan Jin Zhong is a top-grade spirit artifact at that. Therefore, his current condition is basically normal! Including the spitting blood, it is entirely within my predictions. You really don't need to worry at all!"
"Then, please help him quickly. Even if his current condition is not life-threatening, since Zhao Wu is still spitting blood, it means he is definitely in great pain. Please find a way to help him!"
Hearing Liu Xiaoxiao's request, Han Lang could fully understand her concern as a leader who had the deepest feelings for his new recruits.
Moreover, the current problem was not that Han Lang was unwilling to solve Zhao Wu's issue, but that he genuinely had some unspoken difficulties.
"It's like this, Squad Leader Liu. We just went through a major battle, and our restorative elixirs are completely depleted. We don't have much spiritual energy left either. Therefore, I am truly unable to completely cure Zhao Wu's injuries at the moment. So, for now, I can only control his condition using ordinary medical methods. Tomorrow, after I recover, I will find some time to look for medicinal herbs, and then I can thoroughly cure his problem. But you can really rest assured, after my treatment, Zhao Wu will rest peacefully tonight and will not feel any pain!"
Han Lang's words made everyone finally understand his intentions.
Immediately, everyone consciously fell silent, no longer dwelling on why Han Lang wasn't treating Zhao Wu immediately.
After all, everyone had just experienced an exceptionally bloody battle, and at this moment, everyone was already physically and mentally exhausted. If they were to forcibly demand Han Lang to start treating Zhao Wu immediately, not only would it be a burden on Han Lang, but more importantly, if the forced rescue caused any oversight due to extreme fatigue, leading to Zhao Wu's condition worsening, wouldn't that be even more counterproductive?
Understanding the implications, Liu Xiaoxiao no longer insisted and immediately said to Han Lang.
"That's true! You all have indeed worked hard today. Then, as you said, let's first find a way to control Zhao Wu's condition, and then you all should also hurry back to rest."
"En!"
Seeing that Liu Xiaoxiao no longer questioned him, Han Lang quickly nodded and then, without delay, began to perform the Eighteen Needles of the Divine Farmer to completely stabilize Zhao Wu's condition.
Unable to activate his spiritual sense or use spiritual energy, he took out eighteen golden needles from his怀 and used the most clumsy and primitive method to perform acupuncture on Zhao Wu.
This was a set of acupuncture techniques for strengthening the foundation and nourishing the origin, called the "Sleepless Curse." It was originally used to treat severe insomnia in ordinary people.
As the name suggests, its effect was to induce deep sleep in the person receiving the acupuncture, allowing them to temporarily forget the troubles of the mortal world.
Later, through continuous improvement, methods for nourishing the origin, consolidating essence, and accelerating the body's self-recovery were incorporated.
This was why Han Lang chose this set of acupuncture techniques to stabilize Zhao Wu's condition.
As the last golden needle was inserted into Zhao Wu's brow, he immediately felt his eyelids weigh a thousand pounds, and his body felt immensely tired, involuntarily closing his eyes.
At the same time, Liu Xiaoxiao and the others who had been watching from the side witnessed Zhao Wu's complexion change from pale to regaining a hint of color.
Moreover, as he fell into a deep sleep, his breathing, which had been rough and heavy due to internal injuries, gradually became calm and even.
"My heavens! This is too miraculous! Is this the legendary power of a true Divine Farmer Heavenly Doctor?"
Liu Xiaoxiao was immensely shocked.
Compared to the miraculousness of Han Lang treating her before, where she couldn't see the treatment process, she was now utterly amazed by Han Lang.
She truly did not expect that the medical skills of a Divine Farmer Heavenly Doctor could be so immediately effective.
If she hadn't witnessed this miraculous process, she wouldn't have believed that such instantly effective medical skills truly existed in this world!
Even now, Han Lang had not yet begun to treat Zhao Wu, but had only stabilized his condition!
"It seems that Old Bi's insistence on protecting the Divine Farmer Heavenly Doctor on the battlefield was not without reason!"
Thinking of this, Liu Xiaoxiao seemed to have completely understood the significance of a Divine Farmer Heavenly Doctor.
However, despite her shock, Liu Xiaoxiao understood that the immediate priority was to ensure Han Lang and the others got their rest, so she quickly said to everyone.
"Alright, alright. Since Zhao Wu's condition has stabilized, everyone should also go back and rest. Especially you, Han Lang. You will surely have a lot of exertion tomorrow when you treat Zhao Wu, won't you?"
Han Lang did not deny Liu Xiaoxiao's words.
Indeed!
Although Zhao Wu's condition was not complex for him, the treatment process was quite taxing.
Most importantly, he was indeed feeling quite fatigued now. If he didn't rest, he felt like he would collapse at any moment.
So, he didn't stand on ceremony and replied directly.
"Okay. Then I'll go back to rest, but about Zhao Wu here..."
Before Han Lang could finish speaking, Ma Long immediately said.
"Don't worry, I'll stay here. If there are any problems, I'll let you know immediately!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Ma Long finished speaking, Tang Qin immediately stood up to object.
"No! After such a battle, everyone must be exhausted, so guard duty shouldn't be done by you alone, Ma Long. I think the three of us should take turns on watch, so everyone can get some rest!"
Tang Geng immediately seconded.
"Tang Qin is right! Zhao Wu was injured protecting all of us after all. Now is the time for us to contribute our small efforts for him. So, Brother Ma Long, don't try to do it all yourself. Let the three of us take turns on watch!"
Hearing Tang Geng's words, Ma Long did not object.
"Alright, no problem. Then I'll take the first shift! After five hours, Tang Geng, you can relieve me, okay?"
Tang Geng nodded.
Seeing them vying to take care of Zhao Wu, Liu Xiaoxiao felt most comforted.
This first squad, which had always had some friction, had actually become exceptionally united after the baptism of war.
This was what she, as the deputy squad leader, most wished to see!
