Godly Empress Doctor
chapter-176

“Miss, the magical beasts are coming! They really are!” Qiuling drew in her breath, fighting back the terror in her voice.

Feng Wu said, “Don’t worry. I’ve taken a shortcut and it won’t be long before we reach Wanping Town. We’ll be on a stretch of open land once we’re out of the mountains. Even if there’s an earthquake then, it won’t affect us that much.”

“Yes!” Qiuling made a fist.

No matter how tough the situation was, Qiuling would always feel reassured when her mistress was around.

Looking out the window, she saw what was happening up on the cliff and her eyes popped out. “Miss, look! It’s Mrs Ning’s carriage! They’re falling down from up there!”

Feng Wu looked up and her pupils contracted!

Mrs Ning and the others couldn’t possibly survive that fall!

At that thought, Feng Wu jumped down from the carriage and told Uncle Qiu, “Get our carriage away from here. I’ll be right back!”

There was no time to waste!

Feng Wu looked around and spotted a big tree. She immediately jumped onto it, as nimble as a monkey!

Just as the carriage fell down, her whip lashed out to wrap around the carriage, and Feng Wu pulled with all her might!

Crumble —

The carriage shattered right away and the passengers inside were pulled in Feng Wu’s direction. Instead of falling all the way to the ground below, they rolled out onto the thick tree branches.

Feng Wu only had enough time to catch Mrs Ning with her whip. The rest of the passengers rolled down the tree branches and fell to the ground with a series of thumping sounds.

The others cried out in pain as they hit the ground, but because of the leafy old tree, which had acted as a buffer, none of them were severely injured.

Carrying Mrs Ning, Feng Wu landed lightly on the ground.

A look of pleasant surprise appeared on Mrs Ning’s pale face. “I’m not dead?”

Feng Wu nodded. “You’re alive, Mrs Ning, but things are not looking good for you. Several of your ribs were broken during the fall and one of them has pierced your heart, which is bleeding now.”

Mrs Ning gave her a wry smile. “That explains my difficulty breathing and the throbbing pain in my chest…”

Feng Wu didn’t know what to say. She was amazed by how carefree Mrs Ning was. The lady was still able to smile in such a situation.

“It’s not just your ribs. The babies aren’t doing well either —” Feng Wu frowned.

Ning Chenxi scrambled toward them and looked agitated. “Is my mum in danger? What are we going to do now?”

Feng Wu said with a frown, “Obviously, the best thing for her is to be treated right here and now, but I don’t think I need to remind you that with the wave of magical beasts behind us, treating her now is as good as getting everyone killed.”

Although Feng Wu still had the repellent, it was only for wolves. She wasn’t sure if it would work on other beasts. Moreover, no repellent would be potent enough against a herd of rampaging magical beasts.

“Oh god, my face. My face is scratched…” Yan Yan wiped her face and cried out when she saw the blood on her hands.

Feng Wu took off her vest, tore it into strips of cloth, and quickly bound Mrs Ning’s wounds. “We’re in no condition to treat her right now. The only option for us is to get to Wanping Town ASAP. That way, we might stand a chance.”

“Sure!” Ning Chenxi was befuddled as soon as he said that. “But our carriage…”

The horses had been killed by the fall and the carriage was all shattered… How were they going to outrun those frantic beasts on their feet?
