556: Chapter 433: The Prospects of the Medical Team 556: Chapter 433: The Prospects of the Medical Team Aaron’s chest bore several claw marks that, though appearing gruesome, did not pose any severe problem and were not life-threatening.

Zhang Xiaoman cast a Recovery Spell on him while signaling to the medical team standing by in the Dawn.

Because communication devices could not be used in the mist, he could only pass messages through the Star Guard.

At this moment, Xiao Shun and others seated in the Dawn’s combat room were waiting with tense faces for something.

The medical tools they had prepared earlier were being repeatedly checked, flipped over again and again.

Although they had not personally taken to the battlefield to slay monsters, they knew that if any members were injured, they would have to rush to provide support at any time.

Sometimes, this unknown waiting could be more unsettling than facing the danger directly.

Xiao Shun, however, was somewhat more at ease, being after all a Guardian of one of the Three Great Sanctuaries, having participated in several operations and faced Alien Species in person, so he wasn’t excessively nervous.

By contrast, the siblings Mo Li and Mo Qi were much more apprehensive at the moment.

As ordinary people, they had never seen those Alien Monsters, and in this mission, they were essentially complete newbies.

Although they had undergone some training, when the time came to face real danger, it was inevitable that they might still feel some fear.

“Don’t worry, I was like this my first time too, it gets better after a few experiences,”

As the leader of the medical team, Xiao Shun naturally needed to reassure his subordinates, especially since these two were recruited by him.

“You don’t need to worry, I’ll go in with you when the time comes.

With me there, no Alien Species will be able to harm you,” he added.

Next to him, the younger brother Mo Qi spoke up anxiously, “Boss Xiao, do you think members of our medical team might also have the chance to become Awakeners in the future?”

Though he looked nervous, his words revealed a strong sense of hope.

Mo Li also looked at Xiao Shun with a face full of desire, clearly both siblings held great expectations about joining the Three Great Sanctuaries.

“Becoming an Awakener is definite.

After all, members of the medical team will always need to rush to the frontlines to treat our injured comrades.

So having personal strength is equally important,”

Seeing that there was no immediate situation, Xiao Shun took the opportunity to explain to them.

“However, the necessary tests and assessments can’t be skipped, at most it might be a bit easier for you than for others.

Lord Star Lord has said that in the future the Medical Department will be divided into two categories: one for teams that will enter the frontline for rescues, consisting entirely of Awakeners.

The other group will be those who handle routine treatments back at base.

You both should understand what I mean, right?

If you don’t want to just be an ordinary person doing daily medical work at the base, you have to train hard and strive to pass the assessment early to become an Awakener,” he continued.

Mo Li and Mo Qi both nodded resolutely.

From the moment they learned of this place’s existence, they had dreamed that someday they too would wield extraordinary powers like the other Transcendents, perhaps even surpass life and death.

Therefore, although they were members of the medical team, they also insisted on participating in Lord Bear’s training sessions every day without fail.

Even they did not expect that they, who usually couldn’t be bothered to exercise, would persist through such intense training.

Now, as one of the only three members of the medical team, they also had the chance to come into close contact with the Transcendent.

Feeling both nervous and fearful, they were also somewhat eager to try.

Just as they started discussing the future development of the Medical Department, a Star Guard clad in blue-purple armor approached and performed a Star Touching Ceremony to Xiao Shun.

Xiao Shun witnessed this scene and immediately understood what it meant.

Without hesitation, he stood up swiftly and hurriedly started to pack his belongings.

His sudden movement startled the siblings beside him.

The two of them quickly regained composure.

As their expressions changed, their hands moved fast, grabbing their things and then following Xiao Shun towards the cabin door.

The Dawn, which had until then remained stationary in the sky, suddenly sprang into action.

The airship executed a nimble turn and flew towards the other end of the mist over Sheep Village.

Considering the presence of flying monsters, they did not opt for parachuting.

Using the Star Guard’s ability to identify the Summoner’s location, they entered from the edge of the mist and made their way to where Zhang Xiaoman was.

Thus, the four of them ran at full speed.

When they arrived at their destination, they just saw Ji Xiaoqi slaying the last monster with her sword.

Witnessing such a scene up close left the newcomers Mo Li and Mo Qi, the sibling duo, quite shocked, feeling their throats dry out even more.

“Huff~ Huff~”

Ji Xiaoqi took two deep breaths; even though she had applied Constitution Enhancement and possessed strength beyond that of an ordinary person, she felt a strong sense of exhaustion after such a battle.

“Not bad, you guys were faster than I had expected.”

Zhang Xiaoman stood up and signaled the three members of the Medical Team to take over the treatment of Aaron.

The Recovery Spell could heal wounds, but the healing process was slower and couldn’t match the speed of treatment offered by Four-leaf Flower and Baozi.

“Lord Star Lord, leave this place to us!”

Xiao Shun said and quickly started treating the injured with his two juniors.

Elsewhere, Ji Xiaoqi managed to kill off all the monsters with Zhang Xiaoman’s assistance.

Though she was extremely tired, her face lit up with joy as she began to purify the bodies.

“Ding, Horror Claw Essence absorbed, points increased by 17.”

“Ding, Horror Claw Essence absorbed, points increased by 15.”

“…”

A series of five System notification sounds echoed in her mind.

Zhang Xiaoman looked at the few dozen points that had been added to her account, feeling very satisfied.

Looking around, the danger here had been eliminated.

She pondered for a moment whether to teleport back to the tomb to camp for monsters but eventually decided against it.

The time was no longer early and according to the plan for this operation, they needed to retreat before dark.

Otherwise, the battle in this mist would become even more dangerous at night.

“If that’s the case, then we’ll come back tomorrow.

It’s also a good opportunity to ask about the entrance to the underground cave, to save us from waiting any longer, without knowing when the monsters might emerge.”

Zhang Xiaoman made her decision and sent out an order to all the Star Guards in the squads, signaling everyone to retreat.
