Chapter 653: 652. It can get better in three days.

Everyone had their worries, their hearts lifted and never descended until, half an hour later, Tang Shu’s figure reappeared around the cave, only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.

"Xiao Shu, you’re finally back. Did nothing happen to you?"

But Tang Shu, who had just returned from her outing, was invigorated, her eyes shining several times brighter than before, "Don’t worry, nothing happened. I’ve already gathered all the herbs we need."

Gathering herbs had taken only about ten minutes; the remaining twenty minutes were spent by Tang Shu completely on reconnaissance.

Common folks would find it difficult to navigate in a tropical rainforest, but once familiar with the environment, to Tang Shu, who possessed Inner Strength, it was like walking on flat ground. She not only gathered the herbs but also got a clear understanding of the layout within a five-kilometer radius.

Thinking of this, Tang Shu’s eyes flickered with deep thought as she came to Alina’s side with the medical herbs in hand.

"When I administer the medicine, the pain relief will stop working, so try to endure a little during the treatment."

"Treatment?"

Tang Shu didn’t answer her; she took out a small cloth pouch from around her waist, and when she unfolded it, over a hundred silver needles gleamed in front of everyone, their tails shining brightly by the firelight, adding a few touches of chill.

Alina shuddered at the sight, involuntarily shrinking back half a step.

This... can it really work? It looks rather frightening.

Won’t it cause damage when poked?

"You, be gentle!"

Looking up and seeing her frightened face, with blue eyes full of fear, Tang Shu smiled.

"Don’t worry, my acupuncture won’t hurt."

"Really?"

Silver needles that long and there’d be no pain when poked? She didn’t believe it at all!

Not just Alina was incredulous, but even the people like Owen surrounding them didn’t believe it, eyeing the eerily glowing needles in Tang Shu’s hands with fear.

"Why not try and see?"

With a needle in hand, Tang Shu quickly, fiercely, and accurately pierced one into an acupoint on Alina’s foot, the other end of the silver needle even trembling in the air.

"Ah?"

Alina, who had been prepared for the pain, moved her hand, "It really doesn’t hurt?!"

"What, what, it doesn’t hurt?!"

"Impossible! With such long silver needles going in, how can it not hurt, you must be lying!"

"No, it really doesn’t hurt!"

A hint of joy appeared on Alina’s face as she eagerly proved that she truly felt no pain.

While she was still stunned, Tang Shu inserted another three silver needles into other acupoints; four needles were now on the little surface of her foot.

"That’s enough, I’ll remove the needles in five minutes, then just apply some medicine and it’ll be fine. Once we’re out, go to a Medicine Shop in Chinatown and get some medicine; you’ll be healed after three days."

"Ah? Such a serious injury can heal in three days?"

If it was up to their hospitals, surely she’d have to lie down for a month to recover!

The crowd was once again shocked and marveled.

Tang Shu nodded, "Yes, it will heal in three days. I need to process the medicinal herbs."

She had gathered several common herbs during her recent trip out; in the deserted tropical rainforest, the ordinary herbs are much better than those found outside, and even their age is much older, making their medicinal effects far superior to what they had used before.

Tang Shu was handling some leeches with her right hand; their medicinal value was extremely high, capable of invigorating blood circulation, dispelling stasis, unblocking orifices to alleviate pain, clearing heat, detoxifying, and along with several other herbs, they were just right for use on Alina’s right foot.

The others watched Alina’s right foot in shock, unable to come back to their senses for a long time.
