Anime: Fight Sukuna at the beginning?.

Chapter 221 After the Operation
Night, [night attack] camp.

When Lubbock and Main, who were still arguing, saw Fang Yi appear not far away with Chelsea, who could transform into a dangerous species, they both stopped talking.

The entire [Night Raid] camp instantly fell into deathly silence, with only the crackling sound of burning wood in the campfire remaining, which seemed a bit eerie.

The red eyes that were gathered around the campfire saw that it was Fang Yi, and their previously wandering gaze instantly found the target.

Miss Assassin first looked at Chelsea, who was panting beside Fang Yi because she had become a flying dangerous species. After observing the distance between the two, she slowly spoke.

"Want some meat? I tried grilling some. It might not be as good as yours last time, but it should be enough to soothe your tired body.

“After killing the traitor, there was no injury like Lubbock.

“It should be something worth celebrating.”

Fang Yi pulled Chelsea, who was a little out of energy, to prevent her from falling, and then replied.

"Let's give Miss Chelsea some to replenish her strength first.

“I probably won’t need it for now.

"By the way, take some more dangerous species of flesh and blood from the food storage. I'll need them later."

After hearing Fang Yi's answer, Miss Assassin first handed the plate to Chelsea, then disappeared beside the campfire with a few jumps, obviously preparing to get the ingredients.

When Labock, who was standing by, heard the silent Chi Tong take the initiative to communicate with Fang Yi and then couldn't wait to carry out the order, his face was full of surprise and he began to look at Fang Yi in front of him carefully.

This former imperial assassin, who had been as steadfast as a rock and hardly communicated with anyone other than Natasha since arriving at Night Raid a few days ago, actually established a good relationship with the assassin lady in just a few days.

At the same time, Main also expressed her support for him, and Natacha was willing to hand over the command of the "Night Raid" to the man in front of her.

After looking at Fang Yi, Lubbock couldn't help but mutter a few words in his heart.

[It seems that this man might be very good at using his face and words to deal with women.]

As his thoughts turned, Lubbock realized that if his plan to "steal the treasure" could gain the approval of the man in front of him, there would be no one who would oppose it during the "Night Raid".

Therefore, this [Imperial Weapon User] who came from a merchant family tried hard to recall some of the interpersonal skills he had mastered in his early years, and at the same time put on a smile and spoke to Fang Yi.

“Lubbock, the [Imperial Weapon] is the [Cross Tail], which can manipulate several strong threads and is good at detecting enemy movements and providing vigilance.

"You should be the Fang Yi that Natasha mentioned.

"I fought alongside you last night, so you should have an impression of me, right?

"He was the one who fought and lost to the traitor, and who passed the information to you through tactical hand signals."

Lubbock used his brain and planned to use some skills to flatter the man in front of him first, and then propose his own "perfect" plan after they became familiar with each other.

However, she didn't expect that after hearing what she said, the man's eyes lit up, he slowly drew out the knife in his hand, and walked towards her slowly.

"You are the man who was knocked down by Youyu last night.

"You're so lucky, I'm right here, let me stab you.

"With one cut, your injury should be greatly improved.

"Would you like to try this novel treatment?"

Hearing the other party's words, Lubbock subconsciously wanted to call out the [Cross Tail] to reject the other party's proposal.

But after seeing Fang Yi's serious attitude and his actions without any murderous intent, Lubbock closed his eyes and opened his hands.

He said this with a bachelor's look on his face as he unbuttoned his coat and took off his shirt.

“I can let you poke and test your novel treatments.

"But in exchange, you have to consider my proposal.

"how?"
-
What answered him was the [California Clear Light] that Fang Yi inserted into his lower abdomen and the strong suction that followed.

Lubbock immediately realized that the evil spirit that had previously flowed into his body and tortured him was now rushing through his meridians towards the opponent's knife and gradually disappeared from his body.

In just a few seconds, the evil spirit that had tortured him for a long time and brought him countless pains disappeared without a trace.

When the evil spirit disappeared, the opponent's knife was pulled out of his body cleanly and neatly.

Fang Yi then stretched out his hand and leaned towards the wound he had just created. The [Reversal Technique·Strengthening], which had already broken through the limit of level, was activated instantly, and the wound caused by the blade was healed instantly.

After receiving treatment, Lubbock opened his eyes, and a glimmer of hope shone in his eyes.

He has realized that Fang Yi has the ability to heal injuries, which may be able to save Brand from the near-death situation.

Just as Lubbock was about to speak, he was stopped by Fang Yi's gesture.

"I know what you're going to say, and that's what I'm here for.

“I also brought the necessary item [Gala Snake Wine].

"You will also play a crucial role in the operation to save Brand.

"But you have to do one thing first."

Fang Yi turned his head to look at the sniper lady huddled beside the fire and gave a standard smile.

"You need to apologize to your injured companion for your offensive remarks.

“I heard what you were arguing about.

"I appreciate your desire to save your teammates, but I don't approve of your attitude towards them, nor your reckless and flawed plan."

As soon as Fang Yi finished speaking, Labok turned to Maine, lowered his back and bowed deeply in the other's embarrassed look.

"I'm sorry, Miss Myne, I shouldn't have said that.

“I shouldn’t have.”

The sniper lady first gave Fang Yi a look of gratitude, then shook her twin ponytails towards Lubbock, turned her head and said somewhat proudly.

"I know, I know, no need to say more.

“I also know that your intentions are not bad, as long as the apology is conveyed.

"The argument was just about saving our companions, not because they really had any opinions about me.

“Actually, there’s something wrong with me.”

Hill, the girl with glasses who was sitting by the fire, smiled with relief when she saw that Labeck and Main, who had just been arguing and then in a cold war, began to review each other and break the ice after Fang Yi's brief words.

The man she met for the first time seemed to have an extraordinary charm that could easily bring people together, calm disputes, and unite them.

[This kind of person should be the kind of leader described in books, worthy of being followed and trusted.]

She vaguely felt that this man was no ordinary person, and perhaps his joining could change the fate of many things and many people.

Perhaps, only he can save Brand who is in danger.

Fang Yi smiled as he heard the notifications: "[Character [Main]'s friendship towards you has increased to [77/100], and character [Lubbock's] friendship towards you has increased to [69/100]." "A few more good 'cards' in my hand. It seems I'm really good at twisting ropes."
-
A few minutes later, in a ward in the [Night Raid] camp.

Fang Yi is directing everyone to perform an unconventional operation.

"Lubbock, move this thread three millimeters to the left. Yes, use the Cross Tail to wrap around the fragment.

"Ms. Hill, use your Imperial Tool to cut that piece of armor into smaller pieces. Yes, three centimeters to the left.

“Chitong, open the medicine bottle and pour it when I tell you to. Be sure to pour the [Gala Snake Wine] directly into the wound on Mr. Brand’s abdomen.

"Start the countdown, 3, 2, 1."

As the countdown from Fang Yi's mouth ended, Lubbock suddenly exerted force with both hands, manipulating the [Cross Tail] to pull out all the fragments of [Evil Spirit Haunting] embedded in Brand's body, like bottle caps flying out after being shaken several times.

Fang Yi, for the first time in a long time, fired several bullets to increase the effect of the technique. At the same time, he used his hands to operate the [Reversal Technique·Strengthening] at maximum power, and began to eliminate the shock force in Brand's body that had lost the suppression of [Evil Ghost].

The two energies began a protracted tug-of-war with Brand's body as the battlefield.

Until [Reversal Spell·Strength] triggered the [Black Flash] multiplier amplification of several branch enhancements, resulting in several critical hits.

It was like a mechanized force launching a blitzkrieg, instantly tearing through the defense line of the shock force, and after surrounding and destroying it, Brand's body stopped deteriorating.

"fall!"

Fang Yi turned around and issued an order.

Chi Tong poured the medicine in his hand and poured all the precious [Gala Snake Wine] into Brand's stomach.

[Gala Snake Wine] also immediately played its amazing role, allowing Brand's body to recover as if time had gone back.

In just a few tens of seconds, the painful and ferocious expression on Brand's face disappeared, replaced by a serene and peaceful expression.

Half a minute later, Brand opened his eyes in the expectant gaze of everyone.

He said something that made everyone laugh and cry.

"You guys are coming down to accompany me too?
“Sure enough, the killer’s ending is the same.

"The conditions underground don't look very good."

Marin lowered her head, secretly wiped away her tears, and spoke with a choked voice.

"Welcome back, Mr. Brand.

“We all survived.

“This isn’t hell, heaven, or the underworld, but the Night Raid camp.

"Mr. Fang Yi went to great lengths to find the precious medicine for you, and used his special abilities to heal your injuries."

Brand shook his head, as if draining the water from his brain, and began to use his brain, which was a little rusty due to lack of energy intake, to search for the stagnant memories in his mind.

Then he glanced at the people around him, and looked at the broken pieces of [Evil Ghost] not far away with lingering fear, and asked tentatively.

"What time is it now? How many days have I been unconscious?
"What about that enemy?

"Fang Yi? Is this the new member?"

Faced with Brand's series of questions, Fang Yi raised his hand to signal everyone to stop talking, then brought out a plate of meat that seemed to be shining with golden light in Brand's eyes and handed it to him.

It is the new relic Fang Yi obtained after completing [Reverence of the Evil II]. It is a powerful consumable made by using the flesh and blood of several dangerous species and [Cooking Level 7].

"This specially prepared food should be able to replenish the energy and blood you've lost, Mr. Brand, speed up the recovery of your body's vitality, and quickly allow your body to absorb enough energy for normal operation.

“It’s not too late to discuss these trivial matters later. What the patient needs to do first is to take care of his health.

"By the way, my name is Fang Yi. I'm the partner of the Night Raid and the current temporary commander of the Night Raid."

Brand raised his head and glanced around, observing his companions' reactions.

After seeing Lubbock and the others talking to Fang Yi, they stopped talking and began to leave the room one by one. He then realized that Fang Yi was quite trusted by everyone in the [Night Raid] and was obviously a trustworthy ally.

Therefore, the former imperial general with the fighting power of "killing a hundred men" generously took the meat from Fang Yi's hand and ate it without thinking.
-
A few minutes later.

After eating this golden meat, Brand's face changed from the paleness a few minutes ago and regained a little color.

At the same time, his brain began to function normally and he started talking to Fang Yi in the ward.

"I don't even know how to express my gratitude to you. I feel like if I turn the gratitude in my heart into words, it will always be discounted.

"After surviving this time, I even had the illusion that I had defeated fate.

“It’s like embarking on a completely new path.

"How should I put it specifically?"

After saying this, Brand held his forehead, as if looking for the right words to describe the joy of his survival.

Fang Yi smiled and gave a suitable description.

"For example, a description like [Fate split before my eyes into two unrelated straight lines, one...]?
"But let's put off expressing our feelings and reminiscence for later.

"Mr. Brand, I would like to learn a few things from you, as well as request an item.

"I need to become stronger to deal with the enemies I want to kill."

Brand nodded and replied, "You tell me. As long as it's within my ability, I will definitely not refuse."

Fang Yi glanced at the [Evil Ghost] that had shattered into pieces beside Brand and spoke slowly.

"The item I want is the fragmented [Evil Ghost Haunting]. It will help me advance my physical training and increase my strength.

"But I won't lie to you. My special physique, combined with a skill I may master in the future, may allow me to repair this precious [Imperial Gear].

“It’s just that at this stage, after trying, I found that it is indeed impossible to completely repair it and make it work as an Imperial Gear.

"I would like to exchange some items for compensation."

Brand patted Fang Yi's shoulder and said seriously.

"You don't need to say so much. Just say that the Imperial Tool was damaged while you were trying to save me, and no one will doubt you.

"But since you treat others with sincerity, I will naturally reciprocate.

"Your remaining requests should be about the secrets of physical training and the practice of mastering 'power', right?
"No need to say more. As long as it's a skill I master, I will definitely teach it to you."

Brand glanced at the [Evil Ghost] that had turned into pieces beside him, and comforted Fang Yi.

"That [Imperial Tool] belongs to you.

"Don't feel uneasy or guilty about this. I probably won't be able to use [Evil Ghost] after it's repaired.

"Because it has begun to dislike me."
