Chapter 107: Chapter 107

Lai and Guan Heng exchanged a glance, then continued to head in the direction indicated by the needle!

A swordfish dashed past them with surprising speed!

The swordfish’s exterior was covered with many blood marks, attracting several ocean predators that chased after it!

Lai seemed to sense something, looking down at the needle of the scanner—which quickly pointed toward the swordfish’s direction...

Nodding to Guan Heng, Lai swiftly pursued in the direction of the swordfish.

The waters continued to ripple, and in the front side of Lai, some sea beasts were already moving to attack the swordfish!

The sword-bill of the swordfish pierced through the belly of a sea creature, causing blood to gush out from the wounded beast!

The other sea beasts immediately shifted their focus to the newly wounded creature...

And the swordfish took the opportunity to escape, once again vanishing from Lai’s sight!

Following the needle, Lai finally found traces of the swordfish near a reef!

The robust swordfish seemed to be harming itself, striking its head against the reef, with wounds evidently inflicted in the process...

Lai frowned and shook his head when Guan Heng gave him a questioning look.

It seemed that Puslin was losing control, and approaching recklessly might cause Puslin to either attack or flee.

Lai handed Guan Heng a suppressant, signaling to him with a few hand gestures.

Understanding, Guan Heng nodded and approached Puslin from another direction with the suppressant.

He got close first, but the out-of-control Puslin reacted swiftly and began attacking Guan Heng!

Guan Heng dodged immediately, luring Puslin in another direction!

Puslin was much faster than Guan Heng, quickly catching up, but at that moment, Lai charged at Puslin from the side.

Puslin immediately turned, changing directions.

Lai and Guan Heng coordinated seamlessly, driving the uncontrollable Puslin into a nearby area dense with reefs.

"Bang——" After dodging once more, Puslin rammed into a reef, momentarily dazed.

Lai seized the opportunity to inject the suppressant into the back of the swordfish using a blow dart.

"Bang——" Puslin’s tail struck the reef, dislodging the dart from its back.

But it didn’t matter; the suppressant had already taken effect.

Guan Heng swam to the surface, took a breath, returned to Lai’s side, and handed back the unused suppressant.

Lai put it away and made a few more gestures to Guan Heng before turning his attention back to Puslin.

Guan Heng understood Lai’s intent, keeping watch around them, ready to fend off any threatening sea beasts nearby.

As the suppressant took effect, Puslin gradually transformed back into human form, collapsing weakly beside the reef.

Lai approached Puslin and patted his shoulder.

Puslin struggled to open his eyes, saw Lai, and closed them again in reassurance, falling into a deep faint.

Lai grabbed hold of Puslin, lifting him to the water’s surface; any delay might risk Puslin suffocating from lack of air.

Once he touched the air, Puslin instinctively breathed a few times and coughed twice.

"You hold him first." Lai handed Puslin to Guan Heng and took the Heart Cleansing Pill given to him by Yu Manman from his waist.

He took out one and fed it to Puslin first.

"What’s this?" Guan Heng asked.

"A medicine to reduce Spiritual Sea pollution," Lai replied.

Guan Heng’s eyes widened, "There’s such a medicine?"

As someone from the Guan Family, he was usually privy to the latest news, so why hadn’t he heard of such a medicine?

If the outside beastmen knew, wouldn’t they scramble for it?

"This medicine is the only bottle. Like the scanner, it’s a secret, not to be disclosed." Lai gave him a warning look.

Still, he was curious about the Heart Cleansing Pill’s composition; if it could be replicated... even if it worked only ten to twenty percent as well, Lai would be content.

Once Puslin was back, Lai intended to research the elixir properly.

"I understand!" Guan Heng nodded, but gave Lai a peculiar look.

"Why are you giving me that look?" Lai glared at him.

Guan Heng chuckled awkwardly, "I just doubt if you’re from this world, could you be an alien?"

How could there be such miraculous things?

"Don’t speculate wildly." Lai spoke coldly, "When it’s time for you to know, you’ll know."

"Remember, today’s event stays with you, not a word should leak, otherwise..."

"Otherwise, I’ll quietly sleep forever! I know!"

Guan Heng pursed his lips, muttering softly, "So heartless, we’ve gone through hardship together, and didn’t we just cooperate well..."

Lai sent out a rescue signal, glancing at him, "I can hear you."

Guan Heng shrugged, saying nothing more.

The unique rescue signal was sent, and rescuers quickly arrived from nearby! ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelFirｅ.net

"Great! Major General Puslin has been found!"

Seeing Puslin, unconscious with various blood marks on his face, they grew anxious again.

"Professor Lai, is our Major General alright?"

Lai shook his head, "Don’t worry, I’ve injected him with a suppressant, he’s just passed out from exhaustion."

"However, I need to take him back to let my wife purify his Spiritual Sea, or else when he wakes up, his spiritual power might become even more chaotic..."

Of course, this was just for their ears.

In reality, Lai wasn’t sure how Puslin would fare after taking a Heart Cleansing Pill.

He was more concerned that treating Puslin nearby could draw unwanted attention.

Puslin’s men nodded repeatedly, "We’ll arrange a car immediately!"

Lai took Puslin into the vehicle, with Guan Heng driving, and rushed home...

Yu Man had been worried for a long time and finally saw Puslin in the evening.

She breathed a sigh of relief, "You’ve finally returned!"

Lai nodded, "Yes, don’t worry, he’s not seriously harmed. I’ll examine Puslin in a bit."

Lai supported the still-unconscious Puslin into a room with some basic medical equipment, took out a device, and examined Puslin.

A few minutes later, the device’s light flickered faintly orange.

"Forty percent pollution level..."

Yet, Lai and Guan Heng were both shocked!

Judging by Puslin’s condition, the pollution level shouldn’t have been less than sixty percent!

Meaning that after taking one Heart Cleansing Pill, Puslin’s pollution level dropped roughly twenty percent!

How astonishing is that!

Even an S-class Purification Master couldn’t reduce pollution to this extent in such a short time!

If... if the Heart Cleansing Pill could be studied and reproduced, it might be an even bigger boon than Rest Pods for many beastmen!!
