People are collapsing, but the integrated strategy is launched

"You are such an idiot, you have no moral principles, right? You actually attacked the wounded!"

It was beyond Yan Wei's ability to fend off Youlandel alone, not to mention that three people were attacking at the same time.

There was no other choice but Yan Wei could only use his ancestral meat shield tactics.

Protecting the raven behind him, Yanwei chose to use his spear to block the attack of Yulandel, who posed the greatest threat, and let the two phantom attacks fall on him.

Neither Yulandel nor Raven had expected that Yanwei would actually take these two attacks head-on. Feeling the blood splashing on his face, Raven's voice became visibly flustered.

"Wait, Weicao, you don't have to do this... I'm not worthy of you riding here..."

"Just shut up. What will happen to Xiaokong and the others if you die? I'm not planning on taking in all your children yet."

Yan Wei's voice was trembling. Although her own flames could suppress the pain, the cold aura of the phantom, like a maggot on the tarsal bone, also made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Looking at Yanwei, who was covered in blood but had no intention of moving away, Youlandel was rarely silent.

"Since you don't plan to leave, then, I'm sorry, I will try my best to keep you alive."

Soon, a series of attacks like raindrops came towards Yanwei.

There were slashes from phantoms, cones of ice condensed out of thin air, and piercings from the abyss...

"Hiss... It's so cold. This guy Youlan Dai'e is really too strong..."

It had been a long time since he felt the feeling of being treated like a sandbag, just like when he first entered the paradise. Yan Wei tried his best to fend off the attacks from all directions.

Various wounds appeared and recovered, but Yanwei's flame was not affected by those horrible wounds on his body at all, and he still steadily protected the raven behind him.

After a while, Yulandel discovered something was wrong.

"This is unscientific... Even if her flame has the ability to recover, after such a long period of high-intensity use, I can feel that the amount of Honkai energy she consumed is almost as much as two Ritas. If she really had such abundant Honkai energy reserves, she would not be this strong..."

As if sensing Youlandel's doubt, Yanwei couldn't help but smirk as if his plan had succeeded.

Recovery is an act that consumes a lot of energy, and she certainly doesn't have that much Honkai energy. She can hold on until now when her Honkai energy is almost exhausted, of course, only because of a collection. At the same time, this is also the reason why she insisted on choosing to use her own body to withstand the damage.

[Bloom: Every time you take damage, you will recover a small amount of Honkai Energy. When you take elemental damage, you will recover an additional small amount of Honkai Energy.]

Unfortunately, Flame Reed was suffering damage from three directions at the same time, and the damage of Phantom Spirit was calculated separately from that of Yulandel.

What's even more unfortunate is that both the freezing damage from Yue Po and the erosion from Hei Yuan are counted as elemental damage.

"Ahem... Weicao, I'm almost recovered. I'll help you."

Behind him, Raven covered his partially healed wound and barely raised his bow.

"You've regained your mobility? Then why are you still fighting? If you keep hitting me, I'll really die. Get ready to run!"

"Run, run away?"

Looking at the Flame Reed whose body was almost chopped into pieces and whose body was covered with golden flames that were repairing itself, and then looking at the wound on his own kidney that almost pierced it, Raven was confused for a moment.

She is ready to die with Yan Wei, and now you tell me you want to run away?

However, Yan Wei had no time to pay attention to Raven's hesitation at this moment, as she had already given Yulandel another big gift.

"System, neural degeneration, hurry up, let Youlan Daier taste the pain of my main C distortion when I usually play meat pigeons."

[Rejection reaction - neurodegeneration, has been triggered, current target: Yulandel. ]

"What?" Before she could react, Yulandel suddenly felt as if her body was frozen and did not obey her commands at all.

No, that's not right. It's not that my body is wrong, but my thinking has become slow?

Yulandel, who had an extraordinary fighting talent, soon discovered the nature of neurodegeneration when she found that her fighting instinct was still there. Unfortunately, when she realized this, Yanwei and Raven had disappeared.

Chapter 18 Raven: The reed feels really good

While Yulandel was still in a state of neurodegeneration, Yanwei once again squeezed out the little Honkai energy in his body, grabbed Raven and left directly.

"Raven, which way are you going?"

"Just keep going forward in this direction."

"Okay, my flying might be a little shaky, so be prepared."

With the lift brought by the heated air and accompanied by a series of explosive sounds, Yan Wei's figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

It is unknown how long the effect of neural degeneration can restrain Youlandel. In order to create a sufficient safe distance, Yan Wei did not dare to save any Honkai energy at this time, and even mobilized all the Honkai energy used for his own repair.

But even so, Yan Wei didn't have much Honkai energy left at this time. After flying for just over half an hour, Yan Wei suddenly felt a black screen in front of his eyes and almost fainted. Resisting the protests from all parts of his body, Yan Wei quickly shortened the distance and made an emergency landing.

Raven, who was also a little confused due to excessive blood loss, was instantly awakened by the sudden jolt. However, thanks to the fusion warrior's self-healing ability and the continuous recovery effect of Revelation, her condition is probably much better than Flame Reed's now.

After all, she was killed instantly by Yulandel without consuming much of her Honkai energy, and she was just seriously injured before that.

"Reeds, reeds? What's going on?"

The raven, who had already landed safely, asked in confusion. Because she was flying while being caught by the reeds, she only felt the rapid decrease in altitude.

"Well...it's nothing, you're just too heavy..."

"I'm not heavy! I take good care of my body!"

Raven retorted subconsciously, and Yanwei's familiar bickering made her subconsciously regain some of the feeling she had in the orphanage.

"Okay, okay, I'm just too heavy..." Yan Wei replied weakly, "Where are we now? Do you have a way to get out?"

"As long as I get rid of Youlandel, I have plenty of ways to escape."

Raven opened the map and took a look. "It just so happens that not far from here, there is a safe house of mine. Everything from construction to procurement has nothing to do with World Serpent, so it should be safe enough. A little further away, there is another World Serpent base."

"Oh... I hope you have a solution..."

"I say, why are you talking like that today..." Raven was about to turn around when he saw Yan Wei falling to the ground.

"Reed! What's wrong with you?"

Raven's voice suddenly rose in tone, and he quickly supported Yanwei's body.

"Just now... I was busy running, Honkai energy, a little..."

Before he finished speaking, Yan Wei's voice became lower and lower.

"Hey, Weicao, wake up, don't sleep! Hey!"

Raven was now completely panicked and quickly controlled his Honkai energy to check Flame Reed's body.

After a while, the raven breathed a sigh of relief.

"It turns out that this guy used up all his Honkai energy on the run, and ended up not having any left to repair his body..."

Looking at the scars of varying sizes on Yanwei's body, Raven couldn't help but reveal a look of distress in his eyes.

"This guy... doesn't know how to take care of himself at all..."

After injecting a lot of Honkai energy into Flame Reed's body and watching her wounds begin to rekindle the tiny golden flames of self-repair, Raven then picked up Flame Reed with confidence and rushed towards the nearest stronghold.

With Raven's full speed, she soon arrived at the safe house that she had prepared long ago.

"Huh, it's been a while since anyone has been here. There's so much dust."

Raven activated the ventilation system in the safe house with ease, put Yanwei on the bed beside him, and rummaged through the medical box while thinking about the current situation.

"Yulandel returned empty-handed, and Otto is not sure how much hidden combat power the World Serpent has. Given Otto's cautious character, he probably won't chase after it anymore."

"This safe house should be very safe. In fact, because I changed bases several times when I fled London before, the communication equipment was basically destroyed."

"To some extent, even the Jackal and the Gray Snake may not know where I am now. They only know that I was attacked by Yulandel, and then they are waiting for me to contact them."

"So...are we going to the World Snake Base that is closest to here..." Raven fell into deep thought.

"Reed's identity is still unclear. Only some of the Gray Snakes in the World Serpent know of her existence. Once I bring her back to the base... a mysterious being like her, who is even somewhat similar to a Fusion Warrior, the Jackals will almost certainly attack her."

"Forget it... Anyway, this safe house is hidden enough. Let's stay here for a while, at least until Wei Cao's injury heals."

In fact, Raven's worries were completely unfounded. After all, the Jackal and the Raven were theoretically on the same level, and the Gray Snake would not watch her waste a force that was friendly to the World Snake. But for some strange reason, Raven rejected the proposal to bring Flame Reed back to the World Snake.

"But her injury...eh? Has it recovered so much?"

Raven's hesitant gaze fell on Flame Reed, and then he was shocked by Flame Reed's recovery speed.

The wound that was deep enough to see the bone has now healed for the most part, at least the bleeding is not as severe as before.

Apart from her tattered clothes, there seemed to be nothing to prove the serious injuries she had just suffered. It even seemed that if it weren't for the fact that Honkai couldn't keep up, her injuries would have healed faster.

"But I have already injected enough Honkai energy into her. If I inject more, she might have a certain rejection reaction. After all, the body of a fusion warrior is not the same as that of a normal person..."

"Forget it, let's bandage her first and wait for her to recover her Houkai energy after she wakes up."

Having made up his mind, Raven opened the medical box he had just found and began to check the medicines one by one to see if they were expired and complete.

"But Wei Cao shouldn't need any medicine in her case... Never mind, let's just handle it as usual. We can't be careless about this kind of thing. Who knows what's wrong with her? We also need to disinfect and bandage her wound to avoid infection..."

After bringing the alcohol and bandages to the bed, Raven was at a loss as to where to start.

The temperature in London in September was not too low. Although it was not as hot as in summer, due to Yan Wei's a little bit strong physique, the clothes she wore at this time were definitely not thick, and could even be said to be very thin.

Especially after the big battle with Yulandel, let alone whether it was complete or not, the fact that this dress that had almost turned into strips of cloth could be maintained without falling apart was a testament to its quality.

"This set of clothes... looks like it can't be worn. I remember I have a spare set here. Wei Cao looks about the same height as me, so he should be able to fit my clothes."

After taking off Reed's boots and the blood-stained battle-damaged pantyhose, and throwing her skirt and coat aside, Raven's face couldn't help but turn slightly red.

"This guy has a pretty good figure..."

Then, Raven brought warm water and a towel and wiped the blood off Flame Reed's body. After cleaning it completely, Raven began to disinfect the wound, apply medicine, and bandage it.

“Mmm… it hurts…”

As Raven moved, Yanwei suddenly let out a soft moan.

"Does it hurt?" Raven looked at Yan Wei, who subconsciously frowned in a coma, and couldn't help but raise his hand to poke her soft belly, wanting to laugh.

"You didn't take care of your body, now you feel the pain, huh? If it hurts, you should learn your lesson. Don't try so hard next time."

Although he was complaining a lot, the raven's movements were much gentler.

But this couldn't be blamed on Yan Wei. Her ability was to suppress the expression of pain. During normal battles, she would either just throw it away or keep her ability on all the time, and she never felt much pain at all.

It was just that she fell into a coma this time, and because her Honkai energy was depleted and she could not use her abilities, she was able to feel the long-lost pain.

Soon, the treatment of Raven's wounds was completed. Looking at Yanwei who was covered with a quilt and fell asleep, Raven sat aside contentedly.

"It's really strange. This guy's skin feels so good, so smooth and delicate, and it feels so... She obviously has plenty of combat experience. Could it be because she recovers like this so often?"

Recalling the soft touch he had just felt, Raven looked at his slender fingers, as if he was savoring the feeling from before.

"No, no, what am I thinking about? I'm not one of those Valkyries who can't see a man."

"But it's a bit addictive..."

Looking at Yan Wei who was breathing evenly on the bed, the Raven Messenger reached out and touched her cheek.

Soft, like marshmallows. I never thought such a soft girl would fight like that. Besides, the sleeping Reed looks completely different from usual...

"Wait, no, no, I can't think about this anymore."

Forcing himself to look away and out the window of the safe house, Raven couldn't help but think of the children who were still in Changkong City.

"Xiao Kong and the others should be fine... Wei Cao is really good at taking care of people, the children should be fine."

"This guy told me to be careful before he left, but I didn't expect that he actually flipped over... But he came out and saved me at the critical moment. He's really mysterious..."

"No, why am I thinking about this guy again? Ah, so annoying..."

Realizing that he had no control over his thoughts at all, Raven sighed helplessly and simply turned his head, staring blankly at Yanwei who was sleeping soundly.

Chapter 20: I'm getting stronger. I saw a pigeon monster at the headquarters of Destiny.

"I'm sorry, Bishop. It's my fault that I failed to complete the task and caused so much trouble."

In the bishop's office at the headquarters of the Mandate of Heaven, Yulandel was apologizing to Otto.

"It's alright, Yulandel." Otto shook his head slightly, not caring about the failure of this mission: "The Third God Key was originally a spur-of-the-moment idea. It would be best if we can get it. Even if we can't get it, it doesn't matter."

"Compared to this, you tested out the strength of this extremely well-hidden World Serpent cadre for me, and even severely injured the two of them. This is already a very good result."

"The last time we got any information about her was from Theresa a year ago."

"It's better to understand it now than to have it suddenly appear on my face later. At least we have the opportunity to prepare in advance."

"The biggest gain from this operation is this thing." Otto turned his gaze to the screen: "The Second God's Key - One Thousand Worlds."
