Chapter 217 - Little Wings
Chapter 217: Little Wings
Lu Xiaocha climbed up the mountain wall nimbly. Then, she threw down a longer vine and pulled her two brothers up.
As soon as Lu Beichen and Lu Beifeng went ashore, their bodies went limp on the ground, especially Lu Beichen. He was the weakest in the family to begin with. At this moment, he was injured in many places and his arms were still bleeding.
They went back the way they had come. Not long after they left, a sticky wriggling sound came from the dark cave.
Right on the heels of that, the carcasses of the dead bugs were chewed up by the sound of chewing.
Lu Xiaocha and the other two went back, scaring Lu Zhan and Pei Anran.
“What happened? What happened to Little Chen?”
Not only did Lu Beichen’s wound hurt, but his body was also drenched in cold sweat.
“Help him in.”
Fortunately, the old butler knew some medical skills and quickly came over to help him clean the wounds on his body.
Lu Xiaocha and the others told him what they had encountered in the cave.
The two of them blamed themselves. If they had not wanted to enter the cave, Lu Beichen would not have been injured.
Lu Zhan patted their shoulders. “Don’t blame yourselves. No one could have predicted this.”
“Sir, I don’t know why the young master has a fever.”
Lu Zhan said, “Help Little Chen cool down first. I’ve already gotten a private doctor to come over.”
The old butler nodded and quickly went to work.
Lu Beifeng also went to guard Lu Xiaocha.
Although Pei Anran was also worried, her heart ached when she saw her daughter and sons.
“Beifeng, you’re injured too. Let Uncle Yuan treat you. Go and clear your body first.”
The blood of those big bugs was green and sticky and disgusting.
Lu Xiaocha and Lu Beifeng glanced at each other and went to take a shower silently.
The two of them came back from a battle shower. Not only did Lu Beichen’s temperature not decrease, but it also increased.
“This doesn’t make sense.”
The butler frowned. “Young Master wasn’t poisoned and his injuries were treated in time. Even if he was frightened, he shouldn’t be so hot.”
Lu Zhan said, “The doctor is here.”
The private doctor rushed in with his equipment and gave Lu Beichen some fever medicine. After a series of examinations, he was also at a loss.
“Impossible. He shouldn’t have a fever. Besides, the fever medicine I used was the best. But it didn’t work at all.”
Pei Anran was so anxious that she was about to cry. “Then what’s going on now?”
The doctor said, “I’ll give the young master an injection to reduce his fever first.”
Lu Beichen’s body trembled slightly, as if he was enduring immense pain.
Lu Xiaocha looked at the young man on the bed. Why did it look more and more like her when she had awakened her superpower in the post-apocalyptic world?
When she awakened her superpower, her body was forced to undergo modifications. She would often have a fever and her body would have to endure immense pain. At this time, it was useless no matter how much fever medicine she took.
But how could it be… How could someone in this world awaken superpowers?
The entire family was standing guard by the window. The private doctor was also sweating profusely.
This phenomenon was too strange.
Lu Zhan said, “Send him to the hospital.”
Lu Xiaocha said, “Daddy, wait a little longer. Doctor Lin brought the best medicine. Since the fever medicine doesn’t work, Brother might not be having a fever.”
Everyone in the room looked at her.
Lu Xiaocha pursed her lips and asked the butler and Doctor Lin to leave before speaking.
“I’m not sure if my guess is right. My strength isn’t innate. It only came after an inexplicable heat and pain all over my body.”
Everyone was shocked by Lu Xiaocha’s words, especially Pei Anran. She suddenly hugged Lu Xiaocha.
“I’m sorry, Xiaocha. You’ve suffered.” Pei Anran’s voice choked.
If that was true, how painful would it have been for her to be alone without her family by her side?
Lu Xiaocha’s body stiffened. Then, she reached out and hugged her mother.
“I’m fine.”
As he spoke, Lu Beichen, who was originally lying flat on the bed, suddenly turned over and lay on the bed. Accompanied by the doctor’s painful roar, bright red blood flowed out from his shoulder blade.
This sudden change made Lu Zhan and Lu Beifeng’s expressions change.
Lu Beifeng took out his dagger and cut Lu Beichen’s clothes. Then, everyone was dumbfounded.
Pei Anran covered her mouth in shock, her beautiful eyes wide open.
On the inside of Lu Beichen’s shoulder blades, there were two bloody little ‘chicken wings’? They were slowly flapping as if they were greeting them.
Lu Zhan was speechless.
Lu Beifeng was speechless.
Pei Anran was speechless.
This… was something Lu Xiaocha did not expect.
In her previous world, people had awakened all kinds of superpowers, but she had never heard of anyone with wings.
And… those two tiny wings were not even as big as her palm. They were as smooth as featherless chicken wings.
It looked a little ugly, especially on Lu Beichen. No matter how she looked at it, it did not look harmonious.
After a while, Pei Anran said with a trembling voice, “My son… has grown chicken wings?”
Lu Beifeng touched his nose. “Maybe they will grow bigger in the future?”
If this continued, Lu Beichen would probably want to die.
Even Lu Zhan, who had seen many things, was a little dumbfounded.
“Fourth Brother, go out and let the doctor and butler leave first. Don’t tell anyone about this.”
Lu Beifeng nodded. When he stood up, his feet were a little unsteady. He could not help but look at the small wings on his brother’s back.
Pei Anran touched her son’s head. The fever had not subsided, but he did not look like he was in as much pain as before.
She sat down on the stool and stared at the pair of wings for a long time before saying.
What is going on?
Why did he suddenly grow such a small pair of wings?
Lu Xiaocha fetched a basin of warm water and wrung it dry with a towel to wipe the young man’s sweat.
“I’ll do it.”
Pei Anran came back to her senses and took the towel from her daughter’s hand. She carefully wiped the blood on her son’s back.
Fortunately, ever since the wings grew out, they stopped bleeding.
The towel accidentally touched the pair of wings. Lu Beichen hummed and frowned, but he did not wake up.
Pei Anran did not dare to touch his small wings anymore. She only wiped the blood around them and waited patiently.
As the sky gradually darkened, the heat on his body finally subsided.
Lu Beihuai, Lu Beiqing, and Lu Beilin also received a call and rushed over.
When the three of them saw Lu Beichen’s current appearance, they were too shocked to speak.
Lu Beihuai asked, “Is there anything else strange about the cave you went to?”
The two of them recalled carefully. Lu Beifeng said, “The air is a little strange. It feels a little suffocating.”
Lu Xiaocha said, “It’s spiritual energy. There’s dense spiritual energy in the cave. It’s the energy in the heretic’s body, but I can feel that the spiritual energy is several times stronger than the spiritual energy in a Grade A heretic’s body.”
