Enemies Are All Nourishment for My Fungi

On the walls of the house, there were marks of wizard-powered weapons hacking, and everywhere were large patches of dried reddish-brown blood. Judging by the blood volume, this wasn't just the aftermath of warfare; there might have been a massacre, though no bodies were seen.

But in the desert, dealing with bodies left after the chaos of war is easy. Dig a deep sand pit and toss the bodies in, and they'll eventually turn into mummies. Even if one day they're discovered, it'll be nothing more than a proper burial.

Without the locals, Ye Nai was too lazy to head deep into the desert to collect those tasty fruits, and led the team to the next destination.

Her teleportation-based commercial expeditions weren't always safe, but the danger didn't fall on her shoulders, instead, it was the security team that bore it.

Originally, she planned to visit one more place and call it a day after finishing.

But when she opened the Transmission Port, a security team member went ahead to check if it was safe. Before getting all the way through, they suddenly retreated, their arm trailing a gush of blood, the upper arm split down the middle, hanging by a piece of skin and flesh.

Other team members rushed over to grab the person and drag them aside. Ye Nai was a step slower, shutting off the Transmission Port first to prevent anyone from charging through, while a mass of spores surged into the injured person's body, stopping the bleeding from the major arteries and veins.

Just as the team members were hurriedly reaching for their hemostatic bandages, they noticed the bleeding had stopped.

Ye Nai then came over, sprayed some medical no-rinse gel to sanitize her hands, donned medical gloves, and carefully reattached the injured person's severed arm.

Then, with a thud next to her, a large basket appeared, filled with assorted fresh Mutant Beast Meat, exuding a rich energy.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the meat in the basket magically disappeared layer by layer. Meanwhile, the injured person felt their wound healing rapidly, causing an intense itch, prompting them to struggle instinctively.

"Hold her tight; the wound is itching. Don't let her move."

Ye Nai shouted aloud, and everyone immediately pinned the injured person's arms and legs securely.

This wasn't traditional surgery, but rather healing system superpower. It started from the deep blood vessels and nerves, repairing and connecting outward layer by layer.

The basket of Mutant Beast Meat was soon used up, and the injury on the injured reached epidermal repair, leaving only a faint light pink scar.

The security team, having witnessed the entire process, had transitioned from shock to numbness.

"Alright, try to move around, make a fist, and see if you can exert force."

Ye Nai finished up, retracting the basket, and handed a two-liter bottle of water to the injured person.

"Hold this; see if you can drink water normally."

The injured person first held the water with her left hand, moving her right hand a few times. Making a fist was quite smooth, and she could feel the muscles in her forearm moving with each clench.

Then she continued cradling the bottle with her left hand, easily unscrewed the cap with her right hand, and took a few sips of water with one hand.

"Okay, everything's fine." The injured person put down the bottle with a full-faced smile.

"Good to hear. That was really dangerous just now; lucky you pulled back quickly, or if your neck had been cut, there wouldn't have been much I could do."

Ye Nai patted the other's shoulder, stood up, and reopened the Transmission Port.

"Come on, we're calling it a day."

A security team member immediately stepped into the Transmission Port first, and two seconds later, poked half their body back through.

"Yep, we're home."

Ye Nai felt somewhat amused.

"I said we're heading home; what danger could there be at home?"

"You never know, what if there's a short circuit? This is the protection treatment for an Awakener with healing superpowers."

"Right, that healing just now was a healing system superpower, wasn't it?"

"Yes, but does your healing system superpower require using a whole basket of Mutant Beast Meat?"

Now that their comrade was fine, the security team, who had earlier been tense and sweating, began to lighten up again.

"Yeah, energy conservation and equivalent exchange. I extract useful substances from the Mutant Beast Meat to replenish and repair the parts lost to the wound."

Ye Nai directly referenced alchemical laws to explain her healing ability, finding it quite appropriate.

"The upper arm nearly got completely severed, with both the major artery and vein gushing blood. Although the duration was short, the blood loss was considerable. Take good care of yourself; I'll give you some nourishing food."

Saying that, Ye Nai stepped through the Transmission Port first, stood in the living room, and pulled out a Spider Leg from Space.

The security squad followed in, and, upon seeing such a large item, had absolutely no intention of refusing it.

"A specialty of the East Ridge Secret Realm, an energy-rich spider leg from a mother spider amassing energy before laying eggs. The leg meat is energy-packed and has excellent restorative effects, perfect for injured individuals and weak Awakeners."

Ye Nai generously stuffed the entire Spider Leg into the captain's arms.

"Take it, the exoskeleton of the spider leg can also be used as armor."

The captain hefted the Spider Leg, repeatedly expressing gratitude, before being seen off by Ye Nai.

"Injured ones should rest well. I won't be going out tomorrow. Wait until work on Monday; there will be a new project team coming, and everyone will meet them then."

The team members bid farewell one by one, carrying the eye-catching Spider Leg, jogging past a few apartment buildings, and headed to where the captain lived.

Here, the team's medical soldier would conduct a detailed checkup, then form a report and submit it.

It wouldn't have been known without this accidental injury that Ye Nai possessed a fourth superpower, healing system.

If this isn't being a deity, what is it?

Meanwhile, after sending off the security team, Ye Nai quickly returned to the Otherworld. She wanted to see what was happening on that side, as it nearly killed her people.

This time, she cautiously opened the Transmission Port at a slightly distant place. After careful probing, she found the opposite side to be safe.

As soon as she stood firm, she smelled the metallic scent of blood in the air and saw the chaotic military logistics scattered everywhere.

From the looks of it, it seemed like two armies were battling, then one was defeated, leaving behind supplies in their retreat.

If that's the case, it explains what just happened earlier.

Wandering onto the battlefield and getting a slice on the upper arm, they were already quite fortunate.

Ye Nai didn't bother investigating the two feuding forces; she was looking for her former business associate first.

Then, she saw a manor house covered in blood and littered with the beheaded bodies of women and children.

Ye Nai recognized familiar female faces among the decapitated heads.

Standing upright, she sighed twice, having lost another business associate.

Subsequently, she mobilized spores in the vicinity to locate the feuding forces, discovering their tracks outside the manor.

Spores transmitted the location, and Ye Nai stored all the decapitated bodies into Space, then instant-teleported over.

She discovered a scene of large-scale surrender massacre happening.

After spending a few minutes in the apartment, swapping to this side of the Otherworld equated to a few hours. In that time, a battle could end, root and branch could be eradicated, and the defeated family's lord could catch up with the fleeing and be slaughtered entirely.
