The Medallion

Not long after, Vivian arrived with the other members of the joint guard team. All over the ground, blood was flowing and corpses were lying in unnatural positions. Most of the dead and injured were members of the joint guard team. Vivian narrowed her eyes and frowned. When they had arrived in the Nether Fire Land, they didn't expect to be welcomed by such horrors.

"Godly Genius Valeria, are you okay?" Vivian asked as she approached Valeria's stooped figure.

"I... I'm fine..." As soon as Valeria finished speaking, dizziness swept over her. The next moment, she lost all her strength and swayed, falling to the ground.

Rocky scrambled to catch her. Then, he grabbed her wrist and infused a stream of spiritual power into it. Soon, he sensed that the demonic aura that had invaded her body was extremely strong and was destroying her meridians. If the demonic aura were to stay inside of her body, she would be in danger.

"Miss Vivian, I may need your help with her," Rocky said in an urgent tone.

The latter nodded and ordered the joint guard team to set up a tent and rest.

After their tent was ready, Rocky carried Valeria inside with Vivian trailing on his heels.

"As we speak, the demonic aura in her body is approaching her heart meridian. I need you to slow down the spread of it with your spiritual power. That will buy me more time so I can perform the acupuncture." At present, the only way to save Valeria was to drive the demonic aura out with the Skill of Magic Needle. The demonic aura was powerful and was eating away at her meridians. Therefore, if Rocky couldn't gain control of it as soon as possible, he would not be able to complete the Skill of Magic Needle before the demonic aura reached her heart.

Vivian saw how critical the situation was so she approached the table to help. Wasting no time, she reached down and started peeling back the bottom of Valeria's clothes.

"What are you doing?" Rocky asked, looking at her in shock.

"I'm taking off her clothes. Otherwise, how are you going to perform the acupuncture?" Vivian answered. She believed that performing acupuncture on a naked body was the way it was always done.

"No. That's not necessary. I can use the needles through the clothes now." Rocky waved his hand at her. He was no longer a beginner. Even if he were to close his eyes, he could still find the right places to stick the needles in.
