Over half an hour later.
"Damn it, we're finally out." Zhuo Xing, being small, was the first to crawl out of the crevice. After checking the surrounding terrain and confirming it was temporarily safe, he turned and lay down by the crevice's edge. Just as he reached out to give his companion behind him a hand, a sharp pain made his shoulder twitch uncontrollably.
During the firefight underground, Zhuo Xing had been hit by a Superpower Bullet from a Gold Element user while covering the retreat of the mobility-impaired Lin Yuan, whose legs were injured. Although he had summoned a Water Shield in time to block it, the immense impact still damaged his ligaments.
But Zhuo Xing didn't say a word about it.
Compared to his other teammates, his injury was the lightest.
'At least both my hands are still barely usable.'
