Chapter 87: Despair
The Blazing Dog’s attack was like a pebble falling into the ocean for the super-strong defensive glass, unable to stir any ripples.
Sometimes, the willpower to survive is so irresistible in the face of absolute power.
A Xia sensed the Blazing Dog’s despair and its rapidly declining life force.
Although the Blazing Dog could be immune to fire damage, that was when it was in perfect health.
Moreover, the Blazing Dog was not completely immune.
“Professor Liu, I can sense the Blazing Dog’s pain. We must stop the burning immediately, or my Blazing Dog will surely die. My Contract Power is about to dissipate.”
A Xia was truly anxious.
The Blazing Dog was severely injured because of her. If it were to be burned to death like this, it would be too agonizing.
The Blazing Dog’s fur was already scorched, which was visible to the naked eye.
Liu Zheng’s face darkened, but the Blazing Dog’s condition was indeed very poor.
The Vermilion Bird’s feathers indeed became brighter the more they burned.
The Blazing Dog’s cries were growing weaker.
At this moment, the Assistant, without waiting for Liu Zheng’s order, took the initiative to turn off the natural gas flame.
He had eyes; he could see that the Blazing Dog’s condition was very poor.
This was not an experiment. This Blazing Dog had an Owner. If it were burned to death, its Owner would surely complain, and both he and Liu Zheng would be disciplined.
Most importantly, he was present when Song Tiantian burned the Vermilion Bird.
Song Tiantian used wood to burn, and she even used Spirit Wood.
According to the Way of the Five Elements, wood generates fire. Perhaps there was a reason for this.
Otherwise, why didn’t Song Tiantian use natural gas or coal gas?
Instead, she sent so many people to watch, constantly using fire, and even using special wood to burn.
Perhaps there was some scientific principle he didn’t know about.
It was possible that the flame generated by wood might contain a trace of life force.
But now, with an outsider present, it wasn’t the time to discuss this.
Zhang Guixia ignored the high temperature and rushed in. Just as she was about to pick up the severely injured Blazing Dog, her finger was burned, forming a large blister.
The Blazing Dog whimpered.
Then it closed its eyes.
“No!”
Zhang Guixia wailed in pain!
Immediately, a severe headache made her vision go black, and she fainted onto the ground. However, the high temperature of the floor instantly turned her cheeks red, emitting the aroma of roasted meat, and she was painfully awakened again.
“Quack doctors, you black-hearted quack doctors killed my Pet Beast!”
Zhang Guixia was furious!
Her Blazing Dog was dead.
The Blazing Dog that had accompanied her for many years was dead, and it died so painfully, so ignominiously.
“I’m going to report you!”
Zhang Guixia immediately dialed the emergency number.
She had contracted the Blazing Dog a long time ago for an exorbitant price.
Her bond with the Blazing Dog was already very deep.
A Pet Beast contracted long ago, and one that was a powerful Fierce Beast with Skills, could be imagined to be how expensive it was.
“Ms. Zhang, how about this: our Pet Beast Center is willing to compensate you. We can let you contract another Pet Beast at the Pet Beast Center free of charge. If you don’t find a suitable Pet Beast, we are willing to compensate you ten million. Ten million can purchase a very good Pet Beast.”
The Assistant and Liu Zheng discussed it and decided to compensate Zhang Guixia. This time, it could be considered a medical accident.
However, this compensation was very generous.
Originally, Zhang Guixia’s Pet Beast was already severely injured.
“Can ten million buy the life of a Blazing Dog?”
Zhang Guixia’s eyes welled up with tears.
“Surgery inherently carries risks, and Pet Beast treatment is like this. This compensation was applied for by Professor Liu out of humanitarianism,”
the Assistant said coldly to Zhang Guixia.
After all, in his opinion, the compensation was already very generous.
He thought Zhang Guixia wanted more money.
That was ten million. Pet Beasts nowadays were much more numerous than before; Pet Beasts had become very affordable.
“I’ve never heard of anyone using fire to treat a Pet Beast. My Little Red was burned to death by you!”
“Why not? You can go to our courtyard and see. There’s a Pet Beast being roasted by fire there!”
At this moment, Liu Zheng was unwilling to admit that his skills were inadequate, no matter what.
He took Zhang Guixia to the courtyard where Young Master Yu was.
Young Master Yu sat on a reclining chair, resting.
Even though he knew the Vermilion Bird was improving, he was still uneasy and unwilling to return to his room to rest. He wanted to personally witness the Vermilion Bird’s complete recovery.
Young Master Yu’s bodyguard saw Liu Zheng and knew he was a doctor at the Pet Beast Center, so he didn’t stop them.
He thought the other party was there to visit the Vermilion Bird.
Zhang Guixia immediately saw the giant bird in the flames. Its feathers shimmered brightly in the fire, very beautiful.
It was a very beautiful bird, breathtakingly so. It slept in the flames with its eyes closed.
She could feel the heatwave coming towards her, and the wound on her cheek was also stinging painfully.
“Ms. Zhang, you see! Using fire to treat a fire-type Pet Beast is not an exception. It’s just that the success rate of this surgery isn’t one hundred percent. Your Pet Beast had already sustained a fatal injury.”
Liu Zheng explained hypocritically to Zhang Guixia.
Whether the injury was fatal or not was ultimately up to him to decide.
In Qingshan City, only the Pet Beast Center had specialized Physicians for treating Pet Beasts.
Zhang Guixia hadn’t taken her Blazing Dog to any other place for treatment, so this accident couldn’t be blamed on him.
Zhang Guixia was not someone powerful and influential like Young Master Yu.
Liu Zheng glared at the Assistant. If the Assistant hadn’t spoken about giving Zhang Guixia a high compensation, which made Zhang Guixia suspicious, this matter could have been easily resolved.
Such high compensation, even if not paid by him, but by the Pet Beast Center, would surely be known to Dr. Bai, and then Dr. Bai would definitely question his abilities.
Normally, not a single cent should have been paid.
It would have been good enough to waive her medical fees.
After all, when people go to the hospital for treatment and the surgery fails, resulting in death, they still have to pay the medical fees.
This Assistant was no good; he couldn’t be used in the future.
Treatment inherently carries risks.
“No, they were using wood fire outdoors for treatment, but why did you put my Little Red in an oven and burn it with a large flame? It couldn’t even escape. Outdoors, if a Pet Beast feels uncomfortable, it can escape.”
Zhang Guixia quickly thought of the unreasonable aspects.
Moreover, she felt that the outdoor temperature was not as high as in the ward.
The ward was not ventilated, and that kind of high temperature was terrifying.
Unlike outdoors, where there was ventilation.
“Professor Liu, why are you bringing so many people here!”
Young Master Yu also heard the commotion and walked over, asking Liu Zheng and his group.
Liu Zheng was accompanied by several Law Enforcement Officers. These people were here to mediate after receiving Zhang Guixia’s report.
