I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 530 Red Spirit Flower

"Are these flowers called red spirit flowers? Who gave them this name?"

With doubts, Li Luo came to the center of the flower bush surrounded by countless flower buds.

She finally saw the person who was waiting for her to save.

It turned out to be a——healing creature.

The skinny body was curled up among the red petals. The light on its head was extremely dim, as weak as a candlelight. The shriveled body was covered with small red spiritual flowers, looking extremely desolate.

The first time Li Luo saw these red spiritual flowers, he knew that they were extending the life of the healing creature so that it would not die completely.

"Save him..." The flower in Li Luo's hand made another request.

I don’t know if it’s because of the thick water vapor nearby, but its sound becomes clearer and clearer.

"Who is he? Why did you save him?" Li Luo asked again.

She could sense Honghua's anxiety, but she had to first figure out the origin of this healing creature lying there.

What Li Luo didn't expect was that this time, the red flower on the back of her hand responded to her, although the sound was still very weak...

"It's my father, Hua Cong's father..."

The huge red flowers around came closer to Li Luo, bringing with them rich water vapor. The water vapor drifted to the back of Li Luo's hand and gathered on the buds of the parasitic flower.

Li Luo was instantly immersed in the noisy conversation.

"He said he was not our father."

"But he is our father."

"He won't let us call him father."

"But we always called him dad."

……

Healing creatures have names, and they call themselves healers.

The doctor Xi is one of them.

He loves plants, especially flowers, so he has been staying on Baihua Island in the Huasheng Islands, doing his own research and curing patients who accidentally come to the island.

One day, a colleague came to him anxiously and said that there was a patient with a very strange condition and he needed to take a look.

Doctor Xi immediately went to the patient's location. The first time he saw the patient, he understood the cause of the disease.

"It is a parasitic plant that transmits pollen to the patient's skin. The patient will not feel anything at first, but after a few days, he will feel extremely itchy. At this time, it means that the parasitic plant has begun to take root and sprout."

"This parasitic plant will penetrate its roots into the patient's body and absorb the patient's nutrients. The patient cannot simply tear it off because the parasitic plant will share emotions and feelings with the patient. The patient will slowly regard the parasitic plant as a part of his or her own body."

"At this time, the parasitic plant will bloom a flower outside the patient's skin and begin to spread pollen, and this is also the time when the most nutrients are absorbed."

"The patient will become increasingly thin and listless, like a walking corpse. When the pollen is finished spreading, the flower will wither and the patient will become a completely empty shell, dying."

Doctor Xi looked at the patient with empty eyes and said to his companion, "He is now a complete empty shell, both physically and mentally...Are you sure you want to save him?"

"Of course we have to save them. Isn't that our responsibility?"

The companion thanked the doctor Xi and then began to treat the patient.

Doctors have a powerful healing power. They can cure any difficult and complicated diseases, but there is a prerequisite. They must know the cause of the disease. Only after knowing the cause can they activate their ability.

The patient was rescued and his shrunken body became plump again.

He was like a puppet without a soul just now, but with the treatment of his companions, he immediately became full of life.

It's like... a different person.

Doctor Xi looked at the soul that had been refilled and couldn't help but have doubts in his heart: Is such a patient really worth saving? Even if he can be saved, will he still be the same person?
While he was struggling with his thoughts, his companion came up to him and expressed his gratitude: "Luckily you are here. How did you know that the cause of the disease is a parasitic plant?"

"I've seen it in other doctors' records before... The patient's eyes were hollow, and his body had many symptoms of dehydration. There were also traces of roots crawling on his skin. And the most important thing..."

The doctor Xi walked up to the recovered patient and grabbed his paw directly.

"There is some pollen in the gaps between his claws. This is what he left when he scratched his body. If the pollen encounters the right conditions, it will be reinfected and parasitized again. After a while, he will come here again..."

Hearing what Doctor Xi said, his companions immediately became nervous.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

He hurried to the patient and collected all the pollen on his body.

"It shouldn't recur now." The companion threw all the collected pollen to the doctor Xi.

Doctor Xi held the pollen, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke:

"Even if you clear the pollen off his body, he will still relapse... At the moment the bud blooms, the environment around him is already full of pollen. His relatives, companions, and food chain are all covered with pollen, and the place where he lives may have become the territory of the parasitic plant."

"You should understand the horror of parasitic plants. Even if you can save him now, he will soon be infected again after returning to his original place of residence. Their medical level is not enough to deal with this parasitic plant, and this race will soon die out. So, why do you still want to save him?"

"If you really want to save him, you should leave the Huasheng Islands and go to where their race lives and completely eliminate this parasitic plant."

Doctor Xi couldn't hold back and spoke out everything he was thinking.

After hearing what Doctor Xi said, his companions fell silent.

After a long time, the companion spoke again:
"You're right. I should really leave the Huasheng Islands and go visit them."

Doctor Xi was stunned. He didn't expect that his words would make his companions make such a decision.

"I was just saying it casually. We are just doctors, not gods. Our duty is to cure diseases, not to decide the rise and fall of a race." Doctor Xi kept explaining. He regretted his outspokenness very much.

But his companion interrupted his advice.

"Xi, you also feel that we haven't done enough, right?"

The companion looked at the patient who was alive and kicking: "We have great power, but because of fear, we hide in the Huasheng Islands. We can obviously save more patients, but we can only watch them go to destruction step by step."

"Xi, you are actually right. We can decide the rise and fall of a race and save more patients, so why don't we do it?"

"Now that I know the cause of the disease, I will try my best to save the patient. I will not let my patient relapse again."

The companion looked at the fully recovered patient and said firmly.

The doctor wanted to continue persuading, but his companion had made up his mind.

The next day, the companion took the patient to the patient's hometown...
