Invincible Urban Evil Doctor

Chapter 425: Chapter 453: About to Burst? (4th update)

According to what Lin Xi thought, even if this pool of water was dirty or highly toxic, drinking it shouldn’t cause any harm.

Before he was injured, he wouldn’t hesitate at all, but now he is in a semi-crippled state. After all, falling from such a height, any other King of Soldiers would have been smashed to pieces.

"Hmm?"

When Lin Xi slightly raised his head and extended his hands into the pool, his expression became strange.

"This isn’t water?" he murmured to himself.

From the tactile sensation on his hands, he realized that this was a very viscous liquid, not water!

He withdrew his hands and looked closely again, showing a puzzled expression.

He wasn’t confusing water with a viscous liquid; it’s just that no matter how you looked at the surface, you’d think it’s water, but once you put your hand in, you’d discover it’s something thick.

This was very strange indeed!

However, this viscous liquid gave him a faint feeling of no threat; instead, his body had a strong thirst, as if yearning to devour it.

"What on earth is this?" Lin Xi couldn’t help but murmur again.

The next moment, the strong signals from his body prompted him to disregard everything else, and he scooped up a handful and drank it without hesitation.

He had no choice, as he was heavily injured now, and if he wanted to recover quickly, water and food were indispensable.

The first thing that came to his mind was to enter the Jade Pendant Space.

Because he had prepared some water and food there long ago, and more importantly, the Spiritual Qi, which would significantly aid his recovery.

But to his surprise, at this moment, he couldn’t enter the Jade Pendant Space.

After thinking for a while, he mostly concluded that it was due to his injuries preventing him from entering the Jade Pendant Space.

So, Lin Xi had to find something drinkable and edible first.

The viscous liquid he swallowed had just a bit of a fishy and sweet taste, much like soft tofu, but even smoother.

"Gulp, gulp, gulp..."

Just like drinking water, he forcibly swallowed the viscous liquid, finishing a whole handful in less than ten seconds.

However, it seemed not enough; his body was driven by an unconscious urge to drink more, as if this was far from sufficient!

Following that, Lin Xi once again scooped up a full handful and drank it down.

In this way, it seemed he didn’t know when to stop, continuing to drink handful after handful until he had drunk more than twenty handfuls, and his stomach was almost bulging. Only then did Lin Xi reluctantly stop, feeling unfinished.

This thing, overall, could be considered colorless and tasteless, yet for some reason, he felt like he couldn’t stop, as if drawn by some kind of magic.

At this moment, he lay down, supporting his stomach, waiting for his injuries to slowly self-repair.

After all, with the power of the Xuanyuan Divine Dragon Technique, even minor injuries could self-repair at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But this time, the injuries were too severe, and the body’s self-repair speed had slowed significantly.

"Something’s not right?" A while later, Lin Xi suddenly whispered, as he felt a massive energy in his abdomen surging towards his injuries all over his body.

He next discovered that his almost-broken body was being repaired at a speed unimaginable to the ordinary person by this energy.

This process lasted about an hour, and all his injuries were healed. Normally, considering his speed, full recovery would take at least seven or eight days.

"What is this energy?" Lin Xi couldn’t help but murmur to himself, but at this moment, his expression changed again, "This is bad!"

This energy seemed endless, continuously being transmitted from his abdomen to all parts of his body.

With no choice, Lin Xi had to sit cross-legged, fully activating the Xuanyuan Divine Dragon Technique to absorb it.

But after half an hour, his expression became extremely grim because his body was already saturated and couldn’t absorb any more.

"Could I be about to explode?"

Lin Xi couldn’t help but smile wryly; this seemed quite possible!
