41: Art is an explosion!

"Qiao Yu! What are you doing? Is this some kind of potion?"

Everyone swallowed the saliva stuck in their throats, looking anxious. If Zhang Ke wasn't given hemostasis soon, he might die from excessive blood loss.

But Qiao Yu just put his index finger between his lips, signaling everyone to be quiet, and at the same time placed his palm on Zhang Ke's shoulder.

Seeing Qiao Yu's solemn demeanor, everyone stopped talking and subconsciously looked at Qiao Yu's palm on Zhang Ke's shoulder.

[Ding! Does the host wish to use 2,000,000 ml of flesh and blood mycelium to regenerate a severed limb for another person?]

'Yes!'

Qiao Yu confirmed in his mind.

He now had at least hundreds of millions of milliliters of flesh and blood mycelium, so spending 2,000,000 to help someone regenerate a severed limb was no big deal. Moreover, Zhang Ke's injury was indirectly due to him, although nothing would have happened if Zhang Ke hadn't put his hand on his shoulder.

But many things in this life were replicating scenes from the novel, and it was possible Zhang Ke might lose that arm for other reasons.

Later, he just needed to explain to the team members that it was a potion capable of regenerating severed limbs. Currently, there weren't many such potions on Earth, and among those known, there was the miraculous water of life.

But who could say there weren't other potions?

Just as Qiao Yu gave the command to the system, he felt the flesh and blood mycelium within his body surge out through his arm.

What the Fire Hammer Squad members saw, however, was that granulation tissue gradually grew around Zhang Ke's severed shoulder. Dense, crisscrossing granulation tissue intertwined, as if 'knitting a sweater' for Zhang Ke's flesh and blood.

But these granulations were weaving Zhang Ke's arm. First, the granulation tissue intertwined, then bones regenerated, muscle tissue reappeared, followed by the dermis, epidermis, and even body hair.

In just a few minutes, Zhang Ke's severed arm seemed to have returned to his body.

"Oh, my goodness, this is like God appearing, a miracle reborn!"

Gao Feng exclaimed in shock, his mouth wide open, revealing his black and yellow teeth.

The Wei Brothers, Chen Gu, and Luo Feng all stared in disbelief at Zhang Ke's arm.

Everyone pinched and poked the arm, and the sensation was identical to his original arm.

And Zhang Ke's pale face gradually turned rosy.

Zhang Ke tried clenching his fist. Aside from feeling a bit stiff, how was it different from his previous arm?

Having just experienced hell, he was instantly pulled back to heaven by Qiao Yu, giving Zhang Ke an unreal feeling, as if he had never been injured.

"Qiao Yu, is this potion of yours perhaps the water of life?"

Zhang Ke's voice choked with emotion.

A single dose of water of life was worth 30 billion huaxia coin, and it was often unavailable for purchase, leading to highly inflated prices.

It was common for martial artists to get injured outside, and countless became disabled with missing limbs. Qiao Yu actually used such a precious limb-regeneration potion on him; to say he wasn't moved would be a lie.

"We're G8 brothers, no need to be polite. That'll be 10 billion huaxia coin!"

Qiao Yu patted Zhang Ke's shoulder, joking.

"No problem!"

Zhang Ke agreed without hesitation. He had been a martial artist for so many years; although his savings weren't 10 billion, his annual income was between 700 and 800 million. If his family saved up and nothing unexpected happened, he could pay it back in about ten years.

It was precisely because mercenary martial artists risked their lives for money that they could earn such high incomes.

"Haha, Zhang Ke, don't cry, stand up. We'll lend it to you, brothers. 10 billion for limb regeneration is practically a bargain."

Gao Feng and the other team members didn't morally bind Qiao Yu, which made Qiao Yu, who was just joking, feel a bit guilty. After all, the cost of 2,000,000 ml of flesh and blood mycelium was just a few Beast Soldier Level monsters.

How many Beast Soldier Level monsters had the Fire Hammer Squad helped him kill these past few days?

"Just kidding, Brother Zhang. I said we're brothers, how could I take your money?"

"No, no, it must be what it's worth. Such a treasure is not cheap!"

...

Finally, Qiao Yu couldn't refuse Zhang Ke, so he agreed to only accept 2 billion huaxia coin.

Above them, Thunder God was still watching Qiao Yu closely. He had discovered the Fire Hammer Squad's tracks days ago.

These past few days, he had also thought things through. He would no longer engage in any tricky maneuvers. It would be better to honestly wait for Qiao Yu to return to the Base City and then reasonably transfer him to the Thunderbolt Martial Arts School under the pretext of a temporary assignment.

At his Planetary Level strength, being flustered by a junior would be laughable, though no one would dare to laugh at him.

"water of life? It doesn't look like it. I've never seen it before. Is it a new potion?"

After Thunder God's change of heart, watching the Fire Hammer Squad hunt monsters was like watching a TV show, giving him a sense of relaxation. He had been too focused on improving his strength before, and had forgotten to rest... "That damned Tiger Tooth Squad, we will remember this grudge until death!"

Gao Feng's face was so dark it could drip water.

The other members were also bursting with anger.

While angry at the Tiger Tooth Squad, Luo Feng looked at Qiao Yu, opened his mouth as if to say something, then shook his head and didn't speak.

"Luo Feng, I know what you're thinking. Are you wondering why I couldn't use this treasure for Luo Hua before?"

Qiao Yu saw through Luo Feng's thoughts, smiled, and exposed him.

Luo Feng opened his mouth to argue, but finally gave a wry smile and nodded.

Qiao Yu's father was Luo Hongguo's savior, and Qiao Yu had no obligation to help Luo Hua. So, what reason did Luo Feng have to morally bind Qiao Yu into providing a potion worth hundreds of billions to help Luo Hua?

"Don't worry, I was planning to give Luo Hua a surprise after we get back. What do you think that surprise will be?"

Qiao Yu patted Luo Feng's shoulder, not continuing further.

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng's eyes lit up, and he looked at Qiao Yu gratefully.

Qiao Yu just smiled and nodded, stood up, and looked back in the direction where the Tiger Tooth Squad had been.

'Next, it's time for reckoning!'

'Explode!'

Qiao Yu directly contacted the flesh and blood mycelium in Zhang Zehu's heart and gently issued a command... "Hahaha, you should have seen Gao Feng's face, it was completely black!"

The lean captain slapped his thigh, laughing breathlessly.

"What a pity, we didn't kill those two little bastards directly. It seems we'll have to put in more effort to deal with them later."

Zhang Zehu regretted that Qiao Yu and Luo Feng were still alive.

"Forget it, Hu Zi, let's just consider it an act of kindness, let them live a few more days. They'll be dealt with eventually anyway. Let's finish our business first."

A Xiao and A Dong replied.

"You're right. The nearby beast hordes are already heading in their direction. We should be able to bypass them in about ten minutes. I hope they're lucky enough not to die there, and that I, Zhang Zehu, can finish them off..."

Zhang Zehu's words were cut short, his smiling face instantly rigid.

"Hmm? What's wrong, Hu Zi?"

The one-eyed middle-aged man saw Zhang Zehu's expression was off and asked.

At this moment, Zhang Zehu's smile was still frozen, and a few drops of cold sweat ran down his forehead.

"Poof!"

A dull sound, like a fart, came from Zhang Zehu's body.

"Hahaha, Hu Zi, you didn't just soil yourself, did you?"

The lean captain thought Zhang Zehu had an urgent need, laughing and scolding him, then slapped Zhang Zehu's shoulder.

Suddenly, with a loud 'bang,' Zhang Zehu exploded like a human bomb, flesh and blood splattering onto all the Tiger Tooth Squad members.

"Hu Zi!"

The lean captain, A Xiao, A Dong, the one-eyed middle-aged man, and others roared.

At this moment, the flesh and blood mycelium floating in the air invaded all members of the Tiger Tooth Squad through Zhang Zehu's splattered flesh and blood.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Four sounds of flesh and blood exploding rang out.

The Tiger Tooth Squad, perished!
