Ahhhhh, high-altitude survival!

Chapter 178, Healing Stone Skin

He Feihong's tone was urgent, as if he were placing all his hopes on Lin Yue. As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Wenmin and Lu Renyi quickly echoed his words.

Huang Wenmin shouted at the top of her lungs, "Yes, Lin Yue, we're all in the same boat now, you can't abandon us!"

Lu Renyi nodded repeatedly, echoing, "Yes, yes, I also think Boss He's idea is good. Lin Shen, please think of another way!"

Even the player lying on the ground with a broken leg couldn't care less about his injuries at this moment. He nodded and trembled all over, knowing that the invisibility cloak could only protect him for about twenty minutes. He was unable to move and was naturally afraid.

Lin Yue was speechless. She had already clearly stated that she didn't have enough energy, so what was the point of them continuing to use moral blackmail?

If she really can't hold on any longer, there are still spare "potato mines" and "cherry bombs" in her bracelet!

As they spoke, the last piece of stone fell off, and with a soft "thud," the statues' eyes lit up with an eerie light again. Then, with heavy and stiff steps, they launched another attack on the group.

Lin Yue ignored the others and quickly gave a few instructions to Xiao Bing and Xiao Shu. Then, she lightly touched the ground with her toes and took flight again.

Fortunately, while these statues possessed astonishingly powerful stats, they lacked any intelligence whatsoever. Lin Yue continued using her previous tactics, maneuvering around Jumang's statue. Occasionally, she would seize an opportunity to elevate it to the highest point, then use continuous freezing to force it to crash down, managing to lose some health—a small victory in itself.

However, the others weren't as carefree as Lin Yue. The human-faced tiger statue had mostly recovered from its injuries. Although Xiao Shu had the help of the "Frost Archer," it wasn't enough. Many times, he could only engage in a bitter battle where he was injured in return. Taking advantage of the statue's approach and the way it was about to smash down, he would directly charge forward with his sword.

Just as the third line of blood spurted from his body, the second round of rest time finally arrived.

The scattered stone fragments began to slowly fly upwards again. Lin Yue had an idea and quickly caught two pieces of stone and tried to put them into her bracelet backpack.

With a "whoosh," the stone skin vanished from her hand. Those present, witnessing this, immediately reacted and pounced on the stone skin like hungry wolves.

Now that the statues were immobilized, everyone's courage grew considerably. They all bravely stepped forward, targeting the largest pieces of stone. Working together, they actually managed to remove a significant portion of the stone right under the statues' noses.

This time, the statue was covered with varying amounts of stone skin, and the wounds remained unchanged in the areas not covered by stone skin.

This stone skin really is healing! Lin Yue's gaze unconsciously fell on Xiao Shu's still bleeding wound, and a thought suddenly welled up in her mind.

She took out a piece of her hand and tentatively looked at Xiao Shu's wound. Xiao Shu was slightly taken aback, but quickly understood what she meant and generously stretched out his arm.

The wound on his arm was quite large. Although it wasn't as gruesome as the player lying on the ground, it was still a shocking sight, with blood still seeping out.

Lin Yue measured the location and carefully applied the stone skin to Xiao Shu's wound.

Everyone was resting on the ground when they saw this scene and looked over.

A moment later, Xiao Shu's face suddenly lit up with surprise: "It works! I feel like the wound doesn't hurt as much anymore, and it seems to be healing slowly."

Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the others. They had all made preparations before coming to the floating island, but after overcoming numerous obstacles along the way, they had almost used up all their wound medicine. If this stone skin could heal their wounds, it would be a real lifesaver.

After watching for a while, everyone saw that Xiao Shu's wound had indeed stopped bleeding, and their eyes lit up. Huang Wenmin and Lu Renyi had been dealing with a statue, and their wounds weren't too big, but he still took out a small piece and pressed it to his palm.

After observing for a while, He Feihong saw that Xiao Bing had also started to act, while Lin Yue had not tried because she had no wounds. He then took out the stone skin he had just snatched and began to apply it to his wounds.

Even the player who was lying on the ground, his face as pale as paper, struggled to reach out and grab two pieces of stone skin, which he then used to cover his bloodied and mangled legs.

Xiao Shu waited for a while and felt that the wound had completely stopped hurting, so he planned to remove the stone skin. But when he reached out to take it, he found that the stone skin seemed to have taken root and was stuck tightly to the wound, and he couldn't remove it at all.

He frowned and increased the force in his hand, intending to tear the stone skin off directly. Unexpectedly, the stone skin was quite stubborn, like a donkey that wouldn't move no matter how you lead it, and would even move backward when you hit it. Instead, it stuck even tighter, and even seemed to be squeezing into his flesh.

Seeing this, Lin Yue was startled and quickly asked anxiously, "How are you feeling? Does it hurt?"

Xiao Shu was originally planning to continue to force it open, but after hearing Lin Yue's words, he paused, carefully felt the changes in the wound for a while, then shook his head, a look of doubt on his face: "It doesn't hurt. I feel that this stone skin doesn't seem to be harmful to me."

As they were talking, Lin Yue saw the stone skin seem to come alive and slowly melt into Xiao Shu's wound.

Xiao Shu's skin turned slightly blue for a moment, as if shrouded in a layer of mist, but quickly returned to normal.

As if discovering a new continent, Xiao Shu excitedly waved his arm and shouted to Lin Yue and Xiao Bing, "Not only is the wound healed, but I feel that the skin's defense has also been enhanced."

This feature is available?

Lin Yue was somewhat puzzled. Her defense mainly came from her attribute values ​​and the equipment she wore; there wasn't any particular part of her body with exceptionally strong defense. But Xiao Shu was an NPC after all, so perhaps she was different from herself?

Seeing that the stone skin did not harm Xiao Shu, Lin Yue's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

The others also heard Xiao Shu's words, and many of them showed expressions of interest.

Huang Wenmin's eyes lit up, and he took out the largest piece of stone skin from his backpack, trying to wrap it around his upper body in an attempt to improve his defense.
