“Are…are you alright?” asked Jiang Shaoxu worriedly .

“I’m fine… I won’t die, do you have any water?” asked Mo Fan .

Jiang Shaoxu handed him a water pouch . Mo Fan quickly gulped it down .

His lips felt extremely dry . He finally looked better after drinking the water .

“Is there more?” asked Mo Fan .

“Mm, you’re heavily dehydrated . What happened?” asked Jiang Shaoxu .

“Nothing serious, just being too careless and I let the Blue Valley Ferocious Beast hit me . Commander-level creatures are indeed tough to deal with,” said Mo Fan, after he was feeling better .

“Lie down and take some rest . Blood serums aren’t really effective for wounds inflicted by the sea monsters,” said Jiang Shaoxu .

“Give me more water . ”

“How are you so dehydrated?”

Jiang Shaoxu let out a relieved sigh after seeing Mo Fan’s condition improving .

She took the first-aid kit and helped Mo Fan treat his wounds to prevent them from worsening . She then gave Mo Fan an injection, some kind of rapid energy boost for Magicians, just so he could recover faster .

On the other hand, Nan Rongni’s condition was finally improving too . The antidote was working like a charm . The poison in her body gradually disappeared .

Nan Rongni regained consciousness, but she looked extremely weak .

However, the tide was still around, and the battle in the East Maritime Fortress was still going on . It was likely that the sea monsters would show up again .

There was nothing Mo Fan and Nan Rongni could do due to their injuries . Luckily, the density of sea monsters in the area had reduced . Otherwise, the team would have had a hard time holding the creatures off .

“The tide is falling!” Jiang Yu exclaimed excitedly .

Mo Fan leapt up in surprise, too . He quickly rose to his feet and poked his head over the edge of the building .

It did seem like the water was lower . The parts of the building that were previously underwater were now exposed . The water had dropped around three meters .

The sea monsters’ area of activity would shrink gradually, meaning that the battle would soon come to an end .

“Who would have thought, the East Maritime Fortress was such a thrilling place,” Mo Fan murmured as he laid back down .

Nan Rongni was lying beside him . She looked dull, as if she had just escaped death .

“You should be happy that you’re still alive . Why do you look so down?” asked Mo Fan with a confused face .

“Someone will be leaving the team after the training,” Nan Rongni said softly .

So it turned out that Nan Rongni was worrying about Mu Ningxue . Mo Fan soon fell into deep thought .

“She saved your life . Why don’t you quit the team voluntarily and give her your spot?” Mo Fan asked reasonably .

Nan Rongni was stunned, as if she did not expect it from him .

“I was thinking the same thing too, but it’s unlikely to happen . Anyone else can easily do that, but I’m the only Healer on the team . The advisors won’t let me quit, even if I want to . If I insist, they would simply choose another Healer to join the team instead of giving the spot to Mu Ningxue,” said Nan Rongni .

Mo Fan nodded . Nan Rongni was stating the truth . A Healer was a must for the national team . Nan Rongni would not be able to give Mu Ningxue her spot even if she wanted to .

As for Zhao Manyan who was also a substitute, he was obviously the weakest on the team, yet it was unlikely that he would be disqualified, either . He already mentioned the financial group supporting him . They would simply invest as much as needed to help him become an Advanced Magician, just so he could stay on the team .

Zhao Manyan would soon break through after the training . The person leaving the team would still be Mu Ningxue, unless Mo Fan strangled Zhao Manyan to death now .

It was indeed a troublesome question!

If Mu Ningxue left, Mo Fan felt it was meaningless to stay on the national team .

The tide fell gradually, revealing the debris of the buildings scattered across the streets .

No one knew how many sea monsters remained . There were countless numbers of them, yet they had all retreated with the tide falling . Without the water as their shield, their casualties would increase significantly as their strength weakened . It was unnecessary for them to stay any longer .

The drainage system of the East Maritime Fortress was shockingly impressive . Normally, it would take a flooded town a few days to recover . However, when the tide fell back to the height of the shorter dam, all that was left on the streets of the East Maritime Fortress were mere puddles . It felt like the fortress had just experienced a rain, instead of a flood with the water reaching ten meters!

The streets had been quickly destroyed, but were rebuilt in no time, too . Whenever the tide fell, the shorter dam would be filled with Battlemages, preventing the sea monsters from launching a sneak attack . The cleaning squad would carry out their tasks efficiently and clean up the debris and the corpses of the sea monsters before nighttime .

The corpses of the sea monsters were the resources of the fortress . After all, most territories outside the cities were occupied by demon creatures . The resources they controlled were a lot greater than humans had, which they used to strengthen their flesh . As such, their corpses would be rich in useful resources too!

Like magic ores, demon creatures also served as a type of resource that drove the Magic Civilization forward, since each of them was a portable quarry full of resources!

The zone masters were in charge of collecting the corpses . There were people in charge of counting the demon creatures that each team had slain .

However, it was far from the concern of the team . Their only thought was to return to their living quarters, take a nice hot bath, and enjoy themselves a good night’s sleep on the cozy beds .

They had just participated in a true battle between humans and demon creatures . However, the national team basically consisted of a bunch of students . Their talents and capabilities might have surpassed most experienced Magicians in society, but they lacked patience and experience .

How much were the corpses worth? They could not care less about it . The factions that supported them to secure a spot on the national team could easily provide them with ten times the resources they had earned from the battle with a few words .

That being said, that was only the case for most members of the national team .

To someone like Mu Ningxue who had lost her backer, money was extremely important to her!

“Jiang Shaoxu and Nan Rongni’s portions are yours, as you saved both their lives . However, even with three portions, you only get twelve million,” Nanyu was in charge of handling the money for the team . She gave Mu Ningxue her split .

Mu Ningxue happily accepted it . She needed money more than anyone else, as money could buy her the resources she desperately needed!
