Lu Fei understood the message relayed by Brother Chicken, but the others only heard Brother Chicken clucking.
After a moment of silence.
Lu Fei feigned a question: "Great Monkey King, are you saying you wish to stay here temporarily?"
Upon hearing this, the Great Monkey King's eyes lit up.
He immediately nodded excitedly.
Everyone suddenly understood.
However, Tang Ao had not yet woken up, and the Great Monkey King was also covered in wounds. If they encountered other wild contracted beasts or humans, they would likely have no ability to resist.
Just then.
A weak voice came from behind.
"Great Monkey King, this place needs you more now."
Hearing his master's voice, a tear rolled down the Great Monkey King's stern face.
Tang Ao, holding his newly evolved contracted beast, was in tears. Although he had fallen unconscious due to mental exhaustion earlier, Huang Huang had already told him everything that had happened.
He wished for the Great Monkey King to stay by his side, but the wild Great Monkey King had sacrificed himself to save his Great Monkey King. He couldn't selfishly let another tribe lose its pillar of support.
Tang Ao had made a decision, but the Great Monkey King's injuries posed another problem. If he were to be put into the beast-taming space for treatment, such severe injuries would take at least two days to heal, but the group clearly could not afford to delay.
If Tang Ao were to stay here temporarily... then he would be the big boss here from now on, and he wouldn't be able to go back...
Just as everyone was in a dilemma.
A small, pink, round ball wearing sunglasses appeared before them.
"Ammu~ Ammu~"
Lu Fei was stunned. This was the first time he had heard the Blank-headed Snake make such a sound.
He then looked at Brother Chicken. Brother Chicken frowned, stroked his chin, and translated somewhat inexplicably: "The Blank-headed Snake says it can heal?"
As he said this, even Brother Chicken doubted if his translation was correct.
After hearing Brother Chicken's translation, Lu Fei also frowned, stroking his chin.
The man and the chicken entered a state of self-doubt.
In his confusion, Lu Fei suddenly recalled what Fang Lin's team members had said. One of them mentioned the Blank-headed Snake's combat power was 40?
Lu Fei remembered that the Blank-headed Snake's combat power was clearly only 20!
With a head full of fog, he took out his beast-taming guide and shone it at the Blank-headed Snake.
Hmm, the name was still the Unnamed Snake.
Oh wow, its level had reached [Lv10]!
Lu Fei continued to read.
Its attributes were still None.
Its rarity was still ???
But its combat power had indeed reached 40! A hint of subtle joy flashed in Lu Fei's eyes. Although the base was small, it had doubled!
Finally, he fixed his gaze on the skill column.
A new skill appeared there.
[Divine Healing]!
The skill level was unknown, and the proficiency was [Beginner]. Looking at these two descriptions, Lu Fei felt the skill was mediocre and was a little disappointed.
Then, he looked at the skill description.
The description was simple, only a few words.
But Lu Fei couldn't help but blurt out, "Holy cow!"
The skill description read: "Instantly heals all injuries!"
"What's wrong?" Ke Xin asked with concern.
Everyone looked at Lu Fei. Lu Fei composed himself, feigning nonchalance, but his heart was churning like boiling water.
His previous surprise had made him overlook a detail. Now, the Blank-headed Snake's skill proficiency was [Beginner], which meant it could only instantly heal contracted beasts with a level below 20.
But this skill was still too heaven-defying, making Lu Fei feel it was unreal.
Right, the Great Monkey King needed healing... Immediately, he commanded, "Blank-headed Snake, use [Divine Oracle] on the Great Monkey King!"
This was the first time using this skill, and the Blank-headed Snake seemed somewhat excited.
"Ammu~ Ammu~"
It let out a few excited calls, its body changing from pink to crimson. Its short arms waved rapidly, its almost negligible fingers moving as if forming hand seals, with incredible speed!
It was like an ancient ritual, and harmonious Sanskrit chants descended from the sky.
Suddenly.
A faint light descended from the heavens, enveloping the Great Monkey King.
The next moment, an astonishing sight occurred!
The fissures on the Great Monkey King's body began to heal at a visible rate!
Its eyes, which had lost their vitality, suddenly emitted a sharp glint!
"Gigigi!"
In less than a minute.
The Great Monkey King's injuries were completely healed!
It leaped joyfully, patting its chest with its arms, seeming even more lively than before it was injured!
Lu Fei clasped his hands behind his head, his eyes burning with disbelief as he watched this scene.
"My heavens... this skill is real!" He could hardly believe it. If such a skill existed, wouldn't it mean that as long as there was still a breath left, they could be revived at full health immediately???
"No, there must be other limitations, either the skill consumes a lot of energy, or there's a very long cooldown," Lu Fei negated his own thoughts and continued to study the [Divine Healing] skill.
...
Stamina consumption is moderate! Skill release interval is none!!!
A hard-to-describe smile spread across Lu Fei's face. This couldn't be described as happiness; perhaps happiness was more fitting...
Suddenly, he slapped himself hard. He thought to himself: I'm sorry, I doubted this skill just now!
Everyone was shocked again. They hadn't recovered from the astonishing sight of the Great Monkey King's sudden recovery when they saw Lu Fei suddenly slap himself.
They were all stunned.
"Lu Fei! What's going on! The Great Monkey King it..." Tang Ao was both overjoyed and confused.
Yeah... How should this be explained... Lu Fei choked.
"This... that..." He stammered for a long time, unable to say a word, because it was impossible to explain. Would he tell the other person that he possessed a special talent that allowed contracted beasts to learn various inexplicable combat skills?
Innocence invites no trouble, but possession of treasures leads to crime. No matter who it was, Lu Fei could not reveal this information.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
"Ahem..." Lu Fei sighed and patted Tang Ao's shoulder, saying earnestly, "Old Tang, your brother has gone above and beyond for you."
Tang Ao was stunned.
Lu Fei slowly said, "Before Elder Chu returned to Hangcheng, he gave me a small pill. He said that as long as a contracted beast ate it, its injuries would recover instantly!"
Before Tang Ao could respond, Ke Xin exclaimed with shining eyes, "Is it a Full Health Potion?"
"Full Health Potion?" Everyone was bewildered, and even Lu Fei was utterly confused.
"Oh! It's a potion that, once consumed, can rapidly heal injuries!" Perhaps sensing that everyone didn't know the value of this potion, Ke Xin added, "This potion is impossible to buy! Only high-ranking government officials possess it!"
With that explanation, everyone understood.
"Oh, right!" Lu Fei laughed heartily. "Good thing Ke Xin reminded me. That's the name, I almost forgot."
Thank you, my class monitor... Lu Fei glanced at Ke Xin with relief.
Tang Ao hugged Lu Fei tightly, his forehead pressed against Lu Fei's chest, tears streaming down his face!
"Thank you, Lu Fei!"
Lu Fei kicked him away!
"I'm not gay!"
Just then.
Miss Zhou's eldest daughter asked loudly:
"Lu Fei, I have a question for you too!"
