Chapter 93: I Have Neither Father Nor Mother
"What's going on... what's happening?"
Qingque was still standing on tiptoe, trying to see what was happening in the distance, when she saw Kevin beside her, as if sensing something wrong in advance, flip over and jump down from the high platform. She could only wave her hand desperately at his retreating back—
"Hey, hey! Wait for us, don't run so fast!"
On the other side, Kevin, who felt the street crowd was too congested, even leaped directly onto the rooftop of a building—he could clearly sense some strange energy fluctuation coming from not far away. It was very subtle, yet it made him feel an exceptionally dangerous aura...
In less than ten seconds, Kevin successfully arrived at the square where the crowd was most densely gathered. This was also the central area from which the sounds and abnormal energy fluctuations were emanating.
The square was almost covered with stretchers and wounded. Not just those they had encountered when they first stepped onto the Exalting Sanctum, there were likely many wounded transported from other caverns as well. A conservative estimate would be nearly a thousand.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been moved to the square due to insufficient space but would have been receiving treatment in buildings like medical clinics.
The square was surrounded by onlookers—this seems to be an inherent trait of all humans, unchanged no matter where you go.
However, at this moment, this dense crowd had instead become a disaster—
Under Kevin's gaze, many of the wounded in the square staggered to their feet and began attacking the surrounding crowd indiscriminately. The Cloud Knights left on guard in the field were clearly few in number; they simply couldn't stop all the 'wounded' and completely dared not strike to kill.
Under extreme fear, the innermost circle of onlookers began desperately pushing outward. But the outer crowd had no idea what was happening at the center; there were even troublemakers trying hard to push inward to see what was going on.
From Kevin's bird's-eye view, this was simply an indescribable disaster.
"Sigh......"
Seeing that casualties were about to become uncontrollable in the field, Kevin ultimately sighed and leaped down from the building over ten meters high, landing right in the center of the square.
Thud————!
As Kevin landed, visible cold air instantly spread out in all directions, accurately freezing every inexplicably standing 'wounded' in place, firmly restricting all their movable joints.
A disaster that was on the verge of erupting was thus lightly and effortlessly suppressed. However, many of the physicians responsible for diagnosing the wounded in the field hadn't yet recovered from their fear, like this one beside Kevin...
"Wahhhh, help help help!"
"I'm still a child, eating children is illegal! Wuwu... can't see me can't see me......"
This child, who looked even a full head shorter than Qingque, was currently crouching there with her head tucked in like an ostrich. Her tail, adorned with an iron ring, swayed back and forth in front of Kevin, extremely conspicuous.
This appearance clearly didn't look like a Xianzhou native, nor like a Foxian. But with that tail and the delicate, translucent little horns on her head, she looked somewhat like... a dragon?
Don't think this little kid seems useless; the 'wounded' surrounding her were actually the most numerous. Otherwise, Kevin wouldn't have chosen this spot as his landing point.
"......Get up. The danger has already been resolved."
Kevin helplessly crossed his arms and closed his eyes, reminding her in a deep voice.
"Huh...?"
Hearing this, this little girl who resembled a dragonkin cautiously raised her head to glance at her surroundings. Only after confirming there was absolutely no danger did she jump up from the ground with a whoosh and carefully look at Kevin's 'handiwork.'
To prevent unnecessary secondary injuries, Kevin hadn't completely frozen these people. He had only restricted their joints and had even considerately covered their larger wounds with a layer of frost.
"Wow~ Thank you, big brother, for helping stabilize these patients' emotions. This ice control technique is too amazing! Probably not even a few of those old-fashioned Dragon Elder masters back in my clan could do this."
You know, this wasn't a matter of one or two instances; over a hundred moving wounded were all controlled instantly!
"Thanks to your move, it's actually easier for me to treat these wounded now. After I finish all my work here... could you teach me this technique a little? That way, I won't need to use heavy blows for anesthesia when treating those unruly patients."
Strictly speaking, this child's height didn't even reach Kevin's waist... But since he already knew that most beings living on the Xianzhou were long-life species, he could only reluctantly categorize her as one of them.
"Other matters can be discussed later. If you are also a healer, then could you explain to me a little... what's going on with these guys?"
Kevin focused his gaze on the 'wounded' person frozen before him. The other was still struggling constantly and occasionally letting out completely irrational roars.
Even in the exposed inner part of their wound, Kevin saw something resembling withered yellow plant branches brewing inside. If not for his ice crystals sealing the wound, these branches would likely have already grown wildly out of it.
Of course... even if the external roots were sealed off, Kevin dared to bet that the internal condition of their body was definitely not much better.
If it truly reached the point where their entire body was covered in branches, then probably nothing could cure them anymore.
Is this... Mara-Struck?
"Honestly, I'm not very clear either. The external injuries of these patients are easy to treat; at most I waste more time setting their bones. But these patients who suddenly got up all seem to have gone crazy... I'm not good at treating brains."
As she spoke, this little girl even put her hands on her hips and shook her lowered head, looking quite worried.
"No, it's not that simple......"
"Boss Kevin! Boss Kevin! Why did you run so fast just now? You could've at least waited for us a bit!"
Kevin was just about to say something when he saw Pardo and Qingque suddenly squeeze through the crowd from afar and run panting to his side.
"Huh? Why is there a child here?" Compared to the surrounding tragic scene, Pardo instead noticed the child beside Kevin first and asked: "Little friend, where's your daddy?"
"I don't have a daddy."
"...Then where's your mommy?"
"I don't have a mommy either."
"Ah......?"
