Chapter 4036 There are still 4 countries

Wu Kan walked straight to the two unconscious people, squatted down, checked their breathing, and shook his head helplessly: "Prepare for the worst, they're too badly injured."

As soon as these words were spoken, the family members of the two wounded soldiers burst into tears, and then some people came up to carry the two seriously injured soldiers away.

Upon seeing this, the disheveled Taoist priest quickly stepped forward and said to Wukan, "Wait a minute, I feel there's still hope for him. Why don't we take a look..."

“My two friends, they are too badly injured. If we had the leaves of that 'Shaking Tree,' they might still be able to be saved. But now it is beyond saving, so don’t waste your energy,” Wukan sighed.

Upon hearing this, the slovenly Taoist priest and I exchanged another glance. It seemed we had indeed come to the right place. Even Wukan had said that the leaves of this swaying tree could heal wounds, and with miraculous effects.

“Chief Wukan, just let us take a look. If you can save him, that would be a great thing. If you can’t, you won’t suffer any loss. Don’t you think so?” the slovenly Taoist priest said hastily.

Wukan thought it made sense, so he ordered his men to release the two seriously wounded men.

The slovenly Taoist priest and I quickly went over and each checked one of their wounds. Both of them had a red herb applied to their wounds, which seemed to have a hemostatic effect.

The people of Nie Er Kingdom only provided basic treatment for their injuries, leaving their survival entirely to fate, as they knew nothing about medicine.

I carefully examined the person from Nie Er Kingdom beside me. His breathing was very weak, but he was still alive.

The person could have been saved, but had lost too much blood and was quite weak. Also, a few bones were broken, but no vital organs were damaged.

Immediately, I took out the Qi-tonifying and blood-clotting pills from Xue Family Pharmacy and gave one to that person, and the slovenly Taoist priest did the same.

After taking the medicine from Xue Family Pharmacy, I enveloped the wounded man with the Eight-Foot Jade Ornament.

The slovenly Taoist priest then activated the Nirvana Flame, setting another person ablaze.

This Nirvana Fire can heal wounds and make them heal quickly. As the slovenly Taoist's cultivation level increases, the healing effect of this move is quite good.

After my and the slovenly Taoist priest's actions, and with the miraculous healing power of Xue's Pharmacy, the two of them began to react after about ten minutes. Their breathing gradually became steady, and their pulses became stronger and stronger.

"Chief Wukan, take them away and let them rest for a few days. After they wake up, they can recover quickly by drinking some meat soup every day." I smiled and looked at Wukan.

Wukan was shocked and quickly came over to check the two seriously wounded men again. He found that their wounds had healed and their breathing had returned to normal, and he was immediately very excited.

"You two are truly amazing! Not only did you help us kill Longzhi, but you also saved two people from our village. You are simply our village's saviors!" Wukan was so excited that he made a move to kneel down and kowtow to us.

This is exactly the result we wanted; the more grateful he was to us, the more information we could get from him.

If we are to test things step by step without any psychological preparation, we will inevitably suffer a lot.

The disheveled Taoist priest quickly helped Wukan up, saying, "Chief Wukan, there's no need to be so polite. Didn't you also treat us well? We are grateful people, and we will repay kindness tenfold."

This almost brought tears to the eyes of the Wukan chieftain.

At this moment, the slovenly Taoist priest once again offered his services, glancing at the wounded men not far away, and then said, "These brothers are also seriously injured. Since we're here, let's treat them all together."

As he spoke, the disheveled Taoist priest beckoned to me and began treating the other injured people.

These people weren't seriously injured and didn't need the medicine from Xue's pharmacy. They just needed some wound medicine and some gauze bandages.

Seeing that we saved everyone, Wukan is extremely grateful to us.

The disheveled Taoist priest feigned knowledge, asking a question he already knew the answer to: "Chief Wukan, I just heard you mention something about using the leaves of some kind of 'Swallowing Wood' to heal the injuries of those two seriously wounded men. Are those leaves very powerful? Are they even better than our medical skills?"

By this time, Wukan had already lowered his guard against the two of us. He hesitated for a moment and said, "That's right. In our Fire Domain, there is a Zhaoyao Mountain. On Zhaoyao Mountain grows a Zhaoyao Tree. The leaves of this Zhaoyao Tree can heal most injuries. Even if an arm or leg is broken, it can grow back. However, we don't even dare to dream of such a treasure. Even the royal family of our Nie'er Kingdom can only get a few leaves each year. Only nobles can use it. We ordinary people of Nie'er Kingdom don't even know what the Zhaoyao Tree looks like."

"Is your Nie Er Kingdom very big?" I asked again.

“Our Nie’er Kingdom is neither large nor small, with a total population of about 100,000. It is one of the ethnic groups on the very edge of the Fire Domain, and our village is just the lowest-ranking village in the Nie’er Kingdom,” Wukan said again.

“Alas, we have a friend near Zhaoyao Mountain. We are just about to go find him and bring him back to our tribe. We just don’t know how to get to Zhaoyao Mountain. We hope Chief Wukan can show us the way. Don’t worry, we are all good people and we will not take any Zhaoyao wood. Everyone in our tribe knows medicine and we don’t need the leaves of that Zhaoyao wood you mentioned.”

The slovenly Taoist priest spoke with such sincerity that I almost believed him if we weren't so close.

I can't find anyone other than the slovenly Taoist priest who can lie with such sincerity.

The chieftain of Wukan nodded repeatedly: "I believe you are all good people, otherwise you wouldn't be so generous in helping us. However, the place you are going to is very dangerous, and you may not be able to get there."

"What do you mean by that?" the slovenly Taoist priest asked, suddenly curious.

“Because in the Fire Domain, besides our Nie Er Kingdom, there are four other kingdoms. If you want to go to Zhaoyao Mountain, you must pass through these kingdoms. The people in those kingdoms are not as kind as the people of our Nie Er Kingdom. They are all very fierce, especially the people of Guanxiong Kingdom who live near Zhaoyao Mountain. They are the most ruthless and will not allow any outsiders to approach Zhaoyao Mountain. As long as they approach, they will be killed without mercy, without any leniency,” Wukan told us again.

I knew it. This kind of "swinging wood" is not easy to find. No wonder Old Zhang tricked us into coming here with Li Chao and the others.
