Chapter 282:Intense Red Moon Beast Tide!
Chapter 282:Intense Red Moon Beast Tide!
In the hall, the injured Fox Guards looked at Bal being carefully carried out of the operating room, their faces filled with joy and relief.
They couldn't believe that his injuries were so severe, yet Dr. Charlotte managed to heal him.
No wonder the Fifth Abyss Clinic had an unquestionable strength.
At the same time, the door of the adjacent operating room opened, and Vivian stood at the entrance, saying, "Come on, two people, take him to the ward."
With that, she glanced at the operating room next door, which was still lit, thoughtful, and pointed to a Fox Guard with relatively severe injuries before turning back into the operating room.
On this night of the Red Moon, the rate of injuries among the Fox Guards was not low, and there were frequent arrivals of injured personnel.
Charlotte and Vivian had stayed in the operating room and had not come out.
The four Fox Guards who were originally on guard duty had transformed into assistants, responsible for carrying the injured and cleaning up the blood on the ground to maintain order.
"How did it get so serious?" Charlotte, who was suturing a Fox Guard's arm, couldn't help but ask.
The Fox Guard suppressed the pain and said, "The monster onslaught was even more intense tonight, with an increased number of them. We in the Abyss are relatively fortunate, but there are also more monsters than usual breaking in.
The order received by the Abyss Guard this time was to guard the entrance and not let any monsters enter the Abyss, so we had to face the monster's attacks, and injuries were unavoidable.
The situation is even more terrible in Calva, where monsters have repeatedly broken through the city walls and been pushed back. The losses tonight will be devastating."
Charlotte's mood sank. The intensity of the monster tide had been increasing since the last Red Moon night, but he didn't expect it to continue to grow this time.
If this was a long-term trend, it would be disastrous.
Even a large city like Calva, where many strong people were gathered, was facing the risk of being breached. It was even more difficult for small and medium-sized cities to survive tonight.
However, the Abyss Guard, formed by the alliance of the three major families, was quite determined and had a bottom line.
They were determined to defend the entrance of the Abyss and prevent any monsters from entering, even at the cost of more casualties, to keep the disaster away from the lower-class people in the Abyss.
It was not easy for an unofficial Abyss Council to achieve this.
For the people of the Abyss, it was fortunate.
Since the younger generation, like Diana and Roland, began to gain a say, the Abyss had started to undergo new changes.
It was not until late in the night that the number of incoming patients began to decrease.
According to the injured personnel who were brought in later, the monster tide began to recede. This Red Moon night had finally passed.
The entrance to the Abyss had been defended, and only three monsters had entered the Abyss, but they were quickly killed.
The walls of Calva had been pushed back by hundreds of meters, and it was said that the city guards had sacrificed themselves to hold the line, stubbornly defending it, but the losses could be imagined.
Part of the guard remained at the entrance of the Abyss, in case of any unforeseen circumstances.
It was an extremely grueling battle between the monsters and the defenders, even Charlotte, who stayed behind, could feel the intensity of the frontline warfare.
After bandaging the last patient with a broken bone and giving some simple instructions, Charlotte finally had some free time.
Vivian came out of the adjacent operating room and collapsed onto a nearby single sofa, sighing, "So tired, how many monsters attacked the Abyss tonight?"
"That's right, but we still won in the end."
A voice sounded from the door, and Diana, dressed in purple armor, walked in. Her armor was stained with blood, but it added a touch of elegance, resembling a victorious female general returning from battle.
Charlotte looked at her and smiled, "Thanks to you, the Abyss finally enjoyed a rare moment of peace tonight."
Tonight, Diana had been guarding the front line of the Abyss and leading the Abyss Guard to resist the monsters.
The proposal to hold the entrance to the Abyss had also been made by her in the council.
A trace of pride appeared on Diana's face, but she looked at the two of them and said solemnly, "Thank you both tonight, the death rate of the Fox Guards has been minimized."
In such a fierce battle tonight, she also felt anguish as she watched the Fox Guards being carried off the frontline one by one.
Every Fox Guard was carefully cultivated by the Harriman family and had absolute loyalty. It was unacceptable to lose even one.
However, when she came down from the front line earlier and received Badie's report, she learned that of the more than one hundred Fox Guards sent to the Abyss Clinic, only three had died due to serious injuries, and the rest had been saved.
Ten of them had suffered irreversible permanent disabilities due to organ loss.
This result far exceeded her expectations and could be regarded as a pleasant surprise.
The Fox Guards with disabilities would be properly cared for, and she had no worries about that.
This level of casualty was a miracle in such intense defensive battles. She even felt that even with Roland's guarding and the presence of the Duru family with two clinics, the casualties in tonight's battle would not be much better than those of the Harriman family.
Charlotte felt Diana's gaze becoming increasingly fiery and quickly changed the subject, "Are you injured?"
There was an obvious bleeding point on the side of her purple armor at the waist, turning the purple into a dark red color, but it was not very prominent.
"Just a minor injury..." Diana shrugged it off, but soon furrowed her brow and said, "But... it seems to be a little painful now that I've stopped. Maybe you can take a look at it for me."
"Alright, come into the operating room, and I'll treat your wound." Charlotte nodded and didn't think much of it.
"Okay." Diana agreed and followed him into the operating room, a slight smile appearing on her lips.
"I'm back." At that moment, Marsha suddenly burst into the room, holding a water jug, and waved to Charlotte, "Here's the blood you wanted."
Charlotte immediately turned around and took the vial of blood from Marsha's hand, along with giving some instructions to Vivian, who was lying on the sofa tiredly, "Take care of the landlady's wound. I'm going to make potions for Kasha."
"Okay." Vivian reluctantly got up.
Diana turned around and saw Marsha with a black cat perched on her shoulder. She had heard that a young girl had joined the clinic, but she didn't expect her to be so young. Moreover, she was holding the blood, and it was the night of the Red Moon.
Why did she go outside?
Curious as she was, she didn't rush to ask but followed Vivian into the operating room.
"She is?" Marsha came to Kasha's side and asked quietly.
"She is Miss Diana, the landlady of our clinic, a good person." Kasha introduced her.
Marsha nodded thoughtfully and glanced at the Fox Guard at the door, shrinking back her head and going upstairs.
Charlotte took the vial of blood into the refining room. Purified seawater, powdered moonstone... all the materials were ready.
Opening the bottle, it contained fresh red blood, warm to the touch, indicating that it had just been extracted from a monster not long ago.
Charlotte took out the formula for the potion that Leo had given him and carefully reviewed it before starting to make the potion.
The first pot was ruined.
Charlotte stood in front of the large pot with a frowning face.
There was a faint burnt smell in the air, and the medicine had not evaporated completely, but the bottom of the pot was burnt. He realized that after grinding the herbs into powder, he needed to make more precise adjustments in controlling the heat and couldn't rely solely on Leo's instructions.
He cleaned the refining pot thoroughly and immediately started the second batch of potion.
He added purified seawater to the pot, then added the moonstone powder and stirred it to dissolve it. This was to prevent the blood from coagulating.
Then he added fresh monster blood that had been processed to a clear liquid, which immediately turned blood-red after a brief stir.
After that, he added the remaining ingredients one by one.
This time, Charlotte watched the potion in the refining pot more attentively, lowered the heat appropriately, and adjusted the stirring time according to his own experience in refining medicine. He confirmed that the various ingredients had fused and that there were no impurities in the potion before taking it off the heat.
The potion was transferred into bottles, a bright red color like red wine, clear and without any impurities.
Unlike the bottle Leo had brought, which had a strong smell, it had a faint fragrance. This might have had something to do with the type of monster blood.
One pot could fill six bottles, which looked orderly.
Charlotte looked at the remaining half bottle of blood and decided to make another batch.
Monster blood couldn't be preserved, but once it was made into a potion, it could be stored for up to six months.
If this potion proved effective, the twelve bottles would be enough for Kasha and Linda to take for half a year.
This batch of potions was also successfully made.
After they cooled slightly, Charlotte put the potions into bottles.
When Charlotte came out of the refining room, Diana had already left, and the clinic had been cleaned up.
Vivian had fallen asleep on the sofa, too exhausted to notice.
There was a money pouch on the counter.
"The landlady has left and left this money pouch as your reward," Kasha said quietly, afraid of waking Vivian.
"Kasha, try this potion. If it works, you can drink it in the future." Charlotte handed her the six bottles of potions he had just made.
"Thank you, Master." Kasha held the potions in her hands, her face filled with gratitude.
Charlotte had been busy enough today, yet he still thought of making potions for her.
"You should go and rest too. You stayed up all night with me tonight, so sleep until noon tomorrow." Charlotte smiled and told her, then casually took the money pouch from the counter.
It didn't weigh much in his hand. When he opened it, a golden light almost blinded his eyes.
There were fifteen gold coins inside!
Charlotte fell silent for a moment, feeling that he had spoken too loudly to Diana earlier.
He had to be more careful next time.
Putting away today's reward, Charlotte gently picked up Vivian and, with Kasha's help, placed her back on the bed in her room.
This girl was truly exhausted as she turned over and continued to sleep, completely unaware.
Charlotte returned to his room, took a cold shower, and sat down at his desk.
The notebook for today's experiment was placed next to him, and he couldn't hide his excitement as he looked at the experimental records on it.
The effect of nettlegrass on the mage monster was an important discovery.
He took out the black stone from the spatial ring. He had been too busy these days and hadn't had a chance to look at it.
There were over a hundred unread messages in the Red Moon chat group.
The Shepherd, the Witch, and the Hermit had also sent him private messages.
[The Shepherd: Miracle, I circled the outskirts of the wilderness and caught six or seven Undead Mages, but I didn't find the hunchbacked one you mentioned. I'll go and check again when I have time.]
