“Something has happened! Everyone, please be careful!” shouted Vincent.
He then quickly raised his hand and pulled open Edward’s room door.
The inside of the tent was covered in blood. Edward was lying in a pool of blood unconscious.
He looked like he had fainted, his eyes tightly shut. There was a shocking wound on his chest, and because of the b.l.o.o.d.y scene, no one could tell if he was still breathing.
When Boris and Quinn saw this scene, they could not help but look around in horror. Charlotte and Richard, who had just woken up, started making preparations to ensure the safety of everyone in the camp.
Vincent was still calm at this time. He said indifferently, “Don’t worry, everyone. There are no more suspicious signs in the surroundings. This means that the perpetrator has already left. You guys go and check the surroundings of the camp first. I’ll check on Edward’s condition!”
The remaining four wanderers accepted Vincent’s orders and left.
Vincent walked into the tent and squatted down to check on Edward’s injuries.
After obtaining the blood law, Vincent was very sensitive to blood. At the same time, he also could treat all kinds of external injuries. When he placed his palm on Edward’s chest, a large amount of blood-red light flowed out.
The blood on the ground slowly floated upward and gathered in front of Vincent’s palm. Vincent then converted the blood into the purest life force and poured them all into Edward’s body. It allowed the wound on his chest to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Edward’s injuries slowly healed, and he seemed to be breathing faintly. This meant that he was still alive and there was still room for treatment!
Vincent could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
However, he was unable to let Edward consume anything at this stage which caused another worry to arise in his heart. Even if he had high-quality medicine, he could not feed it to Edward unless he woke up.
Suddenly, Vincent could hear someone running toward the camp. It was Kurt, who had been guarding outside the camp all night. He rushed over when he heard the news.
When he arrived at the tent, Kurt said to Vincent with a face full of self-blame, “It’s all my fault! It’s all my fault for not doing my job properly that caused such a thing to happen!”
Vincent shook his head gently and said in a deep voice, “This matter is not your fault. The perpetrator came prepared. Even if I was the one standing guard last night, I might not have been able to detect anything! But now we have to wait for Edward to wake up before we can save him. It seems that we can’t continue on our journey!”
Kurt asked nervously, “Mr. Vincent, do you think that the individual who attacked Edward wants to slow down our progress? Is there someone who wants to find the Immortal ruins before us?”
Vincent nodded and said with a serious face, “Can you deduce what method the individual used to hurt Edward? You will have to consider last night’s situation and the injuries on Edward’s body!”
Kurt thought for a moment and said, “It will take some time, and the final result may not be accurate!”
Vincent stood up, took out a medicine bottle from his storage ring, and handed it to Kurt. He said to him, “You stay in the tent and carefully check if there are any suspicious traces here. If Edward wakes up, give him the medicine!”
Kurt immediately nodded and replied, “Yes!”
Vincent turned around and walked out of the tent. He just happened to see his team returning empty-handed after checking their surroundings.
Quinn was the first to ask Vincent, “How is Edward’s injury? Will it affect our future progress?”
Vincent nodded solemnly. He swept his gaze across the four wanderers in front of him and said softly, “Edward’s injuries have reached the point where is unable to move at all. We all want to save him, so we must continue to stay here. However, the danger from last night may reappear again. I wonder if anyone has any suggestions?”
The wanderers looked at each other. They could hear suspicion and wariness from Vincent’s tone. This meant that in Vincent’s heart, there were traitors and spies among them.
Therefore, what everyone needed to do next was not to give Vincent advice, but to think of a way to prove their innocence to Vincent!
After a moment of silence, Quinn was the first to speak. “No matter what, Edward is one of us, so we must get him to recover from his injuries before we continue on our journey. We can also use this period to set up an array, design a trap, and use the individuals on night duty to find out who is secretly hara.s.sing us!”
Vincent did not give any comments, and the other wanderers did not follow suit.
This was because Quinn’s suggestion had a huge drawback, which was that it would delay the speed of them reaching the Immortal ruins indefinitely. At the same time, it would put everyone in a dangerous situation.
This might be a very friendly suggestion for Edward, but it was a very dangerous decision for the entire mission team!
When Charlotte saw that Vincent did not express his opinion, she walked forward and said in a low voice, “The individual who committed the attempted murder last night had the ability to kill Edward, but he deliberately kept him alive. His goal was to prolong our time here! In order not to fall into the trap of others, the best way now is to end Edward’s pain, and then we’ll move at full speed. This way, we won’t be in a pa.s.sive position again!”
After hearing Charlotte’s suggestion, Richard was not the slightest bit hesitant. He maintained the same att.i.tude as Charlotte.
When the wanderers went out on missions, they had to make difficult decisions and follow through. Otherwise, once they fell into a predicament, the result would be complete annihilation!
Boris and Quinn looked at Charlotte in great shock. They did not expect that the five venerables of the Wanderers a.s.sociation would be such ruthless figures.
Vincent stared at Charlotte for a long time and sighed slowly. He shook his head and said, “No matter what rules the wanderers abide by, I will not leave any of my members behind. Next, we will continue to rest and reorganize. You will each disguise yourselves and go to the nearby worlds to scout the situation and see if any races are preparing for a large-scale operation! I will personally stand guard here until Edward recover before we set off again!”
Everyone could not help but heave a sigh of relief after hearing Vincent’s decision. Everyone, including Charlotte and Richard, showed looks of admiration and gratification toward Vincent.
It could be seen how rare it was for them to meet a leader who respected life and cherished his teammates.
Charlotte walked forward and promised Vincent, “Vincent, don’t worry! I promise you that no more members will be injured, and we will be the first to reach the Immortal ruins!”
