"Are … are you alright?" asked Jiang Shaoxu.
"I'm fine … I won't die. Do you have any water?" asked Mofan.
Jiang Shaoxu handed the water bag to Mo Fan and let him drink it.
His lips were very dry just now. After drinking the water from the waterskin, he looked a little more energetic.
"Do you have any more?" asked Mofan.
"Mm, you're seriously dehydrated. What happened?" asked Jiang Shaoxu.
"Nothing, I was too careless. I was hit by the Blue Valley Ferocious Beast's Demon Slash. Commander-level creatures are really tricky to deal with," said Mofan, who seemed to be in a better condition.
"Just lie down and rest. Blood isn't very effective on the wounds inflicted by the sea monsters, "said Jiang Shaoxu.
"Give me some more."
"Why is he so dehydrated?"
Jiang Shaoxu let out a relieved sigh when he saw Mofan's condition improving.
She brought the first aid kit over and treated Mofan's wounds to prevent them from worsening. She then gave Mofan an injection and injected him with some energy that a Magician could quickly absorb to speed up his recovery.
…
On the other hand, Nanrong Ni's condition was improving too. The antidote was more effective, and the poison that had invaded her body gradually disappeared.
Nanrong Ni regained consciousness, but she still looked extremely weak.
However, the tide had yet to recede, and the battle in the East Maritime City was still ongoing. It was likely that more sea monsters would show up.
There was nothing Mo Fan and Nanrong Ni could do since they were injured. Luckily, the area was no longer crowded with sea monsters. Otherwise, the team would have had a harder time dealing with the sea monsters.
"The tide seems to be receding!" Jiang Yu blurted out in surprise.
Mofan jumped too. He rose to his feet as soon as he recovered and poked his head out of the water.
The tide was indeed receding. The areas that were previously submerged were now exposed, reaching a height of around three meters.
As a result, the area where the sea monsters could move was gradually reduced, and the battle was slowly coming to an end.
"I really didn't expect East Sea City to be so exciting." Mo Fan returned to his original spot and sighed emotionally.
Nanrong Ni was lying on the side. She seemed a little depressed after escaping from the gates of Hell.
"You should be happy that you're still alive. Why do you have such a long face?" Mofan glanced at Nanrong Ni and asked in confusion.
"Someone will have to leave the team after the training," said Nanrong Ni softly.
It turned out that Nanrong Ni was worried about Mu Ningxue. Mofan soon fell into deep thought.
"She saved you. Why don't you take the initiative to withdraw and give her the opportunity?" Mofan made a very humane suggestion.
Nanrong Ni was startled, as if she did not expect the man to say it so bluntly.
"I had the same thought too, but it's unlikely. Someone else might leave the team, but I'm the only Healer on the team. The advisors won't let me leave even if I want to. If I insist on leaving, the advisors will only choose another Healer to join the team instead of giving the opportunity to Mu Ningxue, "said Nanrong Ni.
Mofan nodded. Nanrong Ni was telling the truth. As a national team, they could not afford to be without a Healer. As such, even if Nanrong Ni wanted to repay the favor, she would not be able to do it.
As for Zhao Manyan, who was also a substitute, his strength was the weakest on the team. However, it was unlikely that he would be disqualified. He did mention that the financial group behind him was willing to spend stacks of money on him just to raise him to the Advanced Level to prevent him from being disqualified.
It was likely that Zhao Manyan's strength would skyrocket after the battle. Unless Mofan strangled him to death, Mu Ningxue would still be the one to leave the team.
It was such a troublesome problem!
Without Mu Ningxue, what was the point of Mofan staying on the national team?
…
The tide gradually receded, and the wreckage of the buildings that were scattered in the street were also exposed.
It was impossible to tell how many sea monsters were still alive, but they had all left with the tide. Without the water supporting them, their death rate would greatly increase. Would they be stronger? It was unnecessary to waste any more time.
The drainage system of Eastsea Metropolis was shockingly strong. Normally, a flooded city like this would take at least one or two days to drain all the water out. However, when the tide receded to the low embankment, only a few shallow puddles could be seen in the wet Eastsea Metropolis. It felt as if it had just rained, not as if the city was submerged ten meters high!
The streets were destroyed quickly, but they were rebuilt quickly, too. Battlemages would immediately appear at the dam when it was not time for battle, to prevent the sea monsters from ambushing them. Meanwhile, the clean-up team was extremely efficient. Not only did they clean up the ruins before the sky turned dark, they even collected the corpses of the sea monsters.
The corpses of the sea monsters were the wealth of humans. After all, most of the territories outside the cities were occupied by the sea monsters, thus they had more resources than humans. They were able to absorb the energy of the sea monsters to strengthen their flesh, meaning their corpses contained the essence of nature.
Apart from the energy magic ores that were mined from nature, most of the energy came from the sea monsters. The sea monsters were like moving mines that had absorbed the energy of the sea monsters!
The corpses of the sea monsters belonged to the zone leaders. Someone would keep track of how many sea monsters each team had killed.
The team was not too concerned about the number of sea monsters they had killed. They only wanted to return to their accommodations, take a hot shower, and have a good night's sleep on their comfortable beds.
It was a real war between humans and demon beasts. The national team was basically a bunch of students. Their talents and capabilities might be better than the experienced Magicians in society, but their endurance and temperament were a lot weaker than the average Magician.
How much were the corpses worth?
They could not care less. The factions that had supported them on their journey to the national team could easily provide them with resources that were a few times more than what they had earned from the battle!
That being said, that was only true for the majority of the national team members.
For someone like Mu Ningxue, who had lost her backing, the money was extremely important!
"Jiang Shaoxu and Nan Rongni's share will go to you. You saved both of them, but you'll get three shares as commission. It's only twelve million in total," Nan Jue was in charge of the money. She distributed the money to Mu Ningxue.
Mu Ningxue did not hesitate. She immediately pocketed the money.
