Treasure Hunting System： The Ocean Conquerer-Chapter 830 - 358: Deadly Ambush (Part 3)

The two puppet girls, Jiu San and Yi Qi, were hugging each other and spinning in circles, celebrating their rejuvenation.

Although they were only paralyzed for a short while.

With things sorted here.

Matilda and Julia also decided on a perfect plan to rescue them and were ready.

They first carried Juanlu over, preparing to rescue him first.

Even though logically, Narvi, who was dying, should be rescued first.

But since time had been stopped, naturally Juanlu would be rescued first.

Once everything was ready, Julia looked towards Lucilia: "Has he eaten his fill?"

"I'm still letting him eat." Chadite said and picked up a large piece of bloody fish, stuffing it into the already full round mouth.

"Eat quickly, you must store enough energy."

The round ball tried its best to swallow, and despite having only a mouth, its round face showed a hint of struggling to eat more.

At this point, the energy stored in him even made his exterior emit a faint glow.

The entire round ball's surface was smooth as jade, shining brightly.

Never has anyone seen the round ball eat so much, or store so much energy.

It even exhibited a feeling of being heavy enough to drop to the ground at any moment.

Every round ball could be considered a furnace capable of quickly melting food into energy.

Everything eaten would rapidly melt and disappear, transforming into energy transferred to Juanlu through an unknown connection. Or temporarily stored within itself.

Seeing that preparations were almost complete here.

Matilda looked at Julia and said seriously: "Get ready, I'm going to release it."

Julia nodded.

The golden membrane enfolding Juanlu instantly vanished.

As it disappeared, Juanlu, who originally had his eyes half-opened, immediately widened his eyes entirely.

"Ah!"

A scream burst out in an instant, then was forcibly suppressed.

With the adrenaline from combat fading, intense pain came rushing.

"Energy transfer!"

Matilda loudly ordered, inserting the 16 needles on her into Juanlu's hands.

Julia controlled the green energy beside him, wrapping some unknown liquid and gluey substance around him.

Nearby, the glowing ball began to feed its stored energy back to its host.

All three combined together.

The pained Juanlu visibly began to ease up.

His hands, at some point, had rid themselves of dust residue and broken meat.

Countless blood vessels spread from the wounds, enveloping the exposed white bones.

In a near-visible miracle, fresh flesh grew out, adhered to the white bones, and transformed back into complete hands.

Except there's a stark contrast between the color of the newly grown flesh and that on the back of his hands.

Looking at his fully restored hands, Juanlu gasped for breath but also showed a smile.

Unable to resist, he gently touched the palm of his other hand with one finger.

"Hiss~" he emitted a painful hissing noise.

"Don't mind it, it's a psychological phantom pain, it'll pass soon." Matilda explained.

Bandages and boards appeared in her hands, wrapping Juanlu's hands and hanging them around his neck.

"Though they've fully grown back, to be safe, don't use your hands for the next few days. Wait a few days before using them, it's not too late."

He nodded apprehensively at Matilda's advice.

Now that it's all done here.

After a brief rest, the two began preparing for treatment on the other side.

Compared to Juanlu, this side was actually less troublesome, although close to death, it was merely external injuries.

For the two of them, it wasn't a difficult task.

Under everyone's watch, it took less than 10 minutes to get him out of danger.

Although he remained in a coma, at least there was no longer any life-threatening danger, recovering a bit would be enough.

Having treated both, Matilda and Julia felt mildly exhausted, leaning against the nearby stone wall.

At this moment, the temporary camp still maintained its former ruins-like state.

Pockmarked walls, dents; the ground also caved in spaces, including the steel-supported ceiling which only had a small portion remaining.

This little portion seemed ready to fall, turning into an open-air area.

"Before figuring out what truly happened, let's fix this place up a bit.

After resting for a day, we'll move to a new location."

Alka said, leading everyone in repairs.

The repairs were completed quickly.

Sitting in the cleaned-up, repaired camp.

Everyone sat around together.

Alka looked at Juanlu: "Now tell us what exactly happened? Why did Karuto suddenly appear here?"

Juanlu nodded, beginning to share what he knew with everyone.

"You mean, he inexplicably found this place? And was targeting Narvi?" Jason, beside him, asked with a furrowed brow.

Juanlu nodded.

"I suspect it's a connection through bloodlines because after getting close, Narvi sensed Karuto's presence in return." Juanlu shared his thoughts.

After some discussion, Alka summarized: "This is all we know for now, more specifics wait until Narvi wakes up.

Being family with Karuto, he should know more."

Though Narvi had expressly indicated since boarding that he was connected to Karuto.

None expected they'd be akin to actual brothers.

"Grumble~"

A loud growling from an empty stomach.

Everyone looked towards the sound.

Pororo, slightly curled up, awkwardly smiled under everyone's gaze.

People then unanimously shifted their gaze towards Juanlu's hands.

They discovered something concerning.

No one to cook.

The entire camp suddenly fell silent.

"How about... each of us cooks a dish we're good at?"

"Great idea."
