Chapter 635 - The Wall (2)

Chapter 635

(Unedited)

…

The smell of blood and the feeling of death loom all over the garrison castle. Moaning cries of the soldiers could be heard all over the place and the busy medical personnel of the garrison are so busy that many of them almost did not have time for themselves.

Shin Jiao was permitted to enter due to his request to help with the wounded.

Soon he arrives inside a room with three people already inside. Even before entering the room, Shin Jiao has already heard the discussion of the three people. They are discussing the dwindling food ration for the soldiers and how they could obtain more.

One jokingly suggested to at least try and pick some demonic beast that has meat that looks edible. The three just laughed it out. Through their long experience, they already knew that eating those would cause them to die of poisoning.

When Shin Jiao enters the three stopped discussing.

"Sir, this is the doctor." The soldier who escorted Shin Jiao saluted and then left.

The man sitting in the chair behind the table scrutinized Shin Jiao then nodded afterward. He seems to be contented with what he is seeing.

"Why are you here?" the man, who seems to be their leader with the rank of a commander, asked.

"Well, I am a traveling doctor. I just decided that instead of escaping, why not help?"

"How did you get in here? It is impossible to cross the wilderness with those many demonic beasts out there." One of the men beside the commander asked.

"Hehe… I am really good at hiding and escaping. Plus I have an innate ability to sense danger, so I am able to arrive here without a hitch… of course… I have to go through…" Shin Jiao began rambling about his trip, and what had happened to him, which suddenly made the three people's expression turned sour.

The commander lifted his hand and stop Shin Jiao from talking further.

"So you are a doctor? We need a lot of doctors in the base right now. As you can see we are in a dire situation." The commander said.

"However, I will need to see your skill first before trusting you," he said as he gestured for one of the men beside him.

"Follow me…" the man said as he walked out of the room.

Shin Jiao nodded his head to the commander as he followed the guy.

"What do you think?" the commander asked with a hint of suspicion on his eyes.

"Something tells me that he is not as simple as he looks."

"Yeah, me too… I can feel something from those eyes of his… anyway… let's continue…"

As the two continue discussing, Shin Jiao is currently walking towards the garrison's infirmary following the man. This is the place where Shin Jiao passed by a while ago.

When the two figures enter the infirmary, they saw that everyone is busy doing something. Shin Jiao could immediately see the problem inside as soon as he saw the situation.

He didn't think twice and immediately give the doctors a hand.

When one of the assistants saw an unfamiliar figure walking towards a wounded soldier he suddenly wanted to stop that person. However, he saw the soldier following behind Shin Jiao shaking his head which stopped the assistant.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao has already checked the condition of the soldier and the wound he has suffered. He could clearly see that one of the soldier's arms is broken. Although he didn't seem to be suffering from something, Shin Jiao already knew that the soldier is actually hemorrhaging due to a broken rib which has already puncture one of his organs.

"This is bad… He is bleeding too much…" Shin Jiao muttered as he stopped checking the man's body.

Shin Jiao took out a knife and immediately removes the man's armor. Then using his psychokinesis ability carefully places the man's rib in order. The man suddenly felt the pain and was jolted awake. Shin Jiao can see that the man is becoming weaker, but he didn't stop and continue mending the bones while trying to hold the punctured organ so that he would stop bleeding.

"I need a clean knife…" Shin Jiao asked the soldier behind him.

The soldier immediately looks around and found a small sharp knife on a wooden table. He immediately handed it over to Shin Jiao.

Shin Jiao first used the knife to cut many strips of cloths from the man's clothes. Then he laid the man flat on the ground.

The soldier was a bit skeptical about what this young 'doctor' is going to do but still did not interrupt as his mission is to observe. He would make a move if Shin Jiao truly made a huge mistake.

Then he was surprised to see Shin Jiao suddenly stabbing the man's side.

The assistant was also flabbergasted as he saw this scene.

"What are you doing? This is murder… why did you stab him?" shouted the assistant as he suddenly walks forward to stop Shin Jiao.

Shin Jiao did not bother with the assistant who seems to have gained the attention of everyone in the surrounding.

"What is happening here?" a doctor suddenly took a step forward and saw Shin Jiao moving the knife and made a short incision at the almost unconscious soldier.

This turned the doctor's expression grave.

"You… how dare you kill a soldier in the infirmary? Guards! Call the guards and take this man away!" shouted the doctor as he suddenly moves towards Shin Jiao to stop him.

However, he was suddenly stopped by a strong hand.

"Young man, what are you doing?" the soldier who followed Shin Jiao suddenly asked in a cold tone.

Shin Jiao did not reply immediately and just slowly open the wound. From there a lot of dark blood and pus flowed out.

"I have to drain this blood from his body… this is already poisonous for him. If it is not removed then he would surely die. Did you ask me to show you my medical skills, right? Just watch…" Shin Jiao said calmly.

The doctor wanted to say anything but seeing the man blocking him he didn't argue anymore and just shook his head.

"If that soldier dies, then I will make sure that you will also be punished." The doctor said with a stern look on his face.

He has been a doctor in this infirmary for a long time. Although many have died in this battle and even before this, yet he is confident of his skill to at least save 30% of the soldiers. So how could he trust the words of a young man?

Shin Jiao didn't bother with the old man and just continue with what he is doing. Using his abilities, he has already stopped the man from feeling any pain.

Then using the knife he opens the man's body which made those who are looking at this scene look pale. Some assistants even show an ugly look on their faces. Suddenly, Shin Jiao took out a thread and a needle from his sleeve then began sawing the ruptured internal organ.

After that, he began closing the other wounds in the man's body.

It just took him around 15 minutes to do these things due to his constant practice, and with the help of his ability.

After he closed the man's stomach, he injected something into the man's arm and then wraps the wound cleanly.

When he cleaned everything, the people around him had a look of bewilderment on their faces.

However, Shin Jiao didn't bother with them and continue to the next patient.

This time, no one stopped him as the soldier he just cut open is breathing normally and seem to just asleep. When Shin Jiao left, some doctors immediately even checked the man's pulse and immediately showed a surprised look on their faces.

That day, Shin Jiao wasn't bothered by anyone and the man who is following him just stood behind Shin Jiao like his bodyguard. Meanwhile, a small built man volunteered to be Shin Jiao's assistant.

Not long later, the infirmary turned quiet as the wounded soldiers have already been tended to and luckily there is no more demonic beast attack that happened.

…

Meanwhile, inside a room, Shin Jiao is sitting in front of the garrison commander.

"Hmm… It seems that you are a miracle doctor… I am sorry for doubting you…" the commander said while taking a sip of tea.

Shin Jiao just wave his hand and just showed a faint smile.

"However, it seems that you are unlucky to have come to our base doctor. As you can see we are facing this really huge problem… plus we are running out of food." the command said with a solemn look.

"Hmm… What about the demonic beast commander? You can cook them, right?" Shin Jiao asked innocently.

The three soldiers in the room immediately chuckled.

"Haha… Although I am brave enough to fight against these demonic beasts, yet eating their disgusting flesh is a suicide act. I'm not that crazy yet…" the commander answered.

"Really… Hmm… I… I actually ate them while traveling to this place… they are especially delicious when you have pepper and some salt… especially the…" Shin Jiao suddenly began rambling nonsense once again.

However, this time the commander and the two people with him showed a stupefied expression on their faces. At first, they thought that the young doctor is talking nonsense. However, as Shin Jiao continue talking, they suddenly discover that he is not bragging.

Shin Jiao told them how to remove the poison inside the demonic beast carcass. In truth, the reason why people die from eating demonic beast meat is because of the unknown energy in their bodies.

For people to be able to eat them, they just need to remove the unknown energy. And, there is nothing more effective in removing them than using an array formation. Shin Jiao told them some made-up story about how he learned about the array.

Then that night, he decided to show them how it would work.

Using their curiosity, Shin Jiao has convinced them to hunt a wild boar-like beast. Of course, he wanted to go with the hunting party. And the most effective way to hunt one is in the forested area on the other side of the wall.

This is because in the barren land they could not see any single demonic beast that is roaming around. Hence the commander assigned three powerful martial cultivators as Shin Jiao's bodyguard.

When they got over the wall and secretly came to the forest, Shin Jiao's eyes already have a glint of craftiness in them.
