Following a Trail of Blood

Exhausted and injured, Daniel rested on the stone floor in order to allow his body to recover his strength, and heal from his internal and external injuries as fast as possible. Unfortunately, the natural healing he was left with only allowed his body to recover from tiredness if he rested, as contrary to cultivators, who only needed essence to restore their physical strength, a mortal's body could only recover while resting-if not for that obstacle, Daniel would have already left to check up on Dawn and the others.

Nevertheless, while the mortal way of healing had limitations, Daniel's system was able to boost it to an unnatural degree, allowing the blood that had been flowing out of his wounds mere minutes ago to clot, and almost turn into scabs in just a couple of minutes. In the same span of time, his breathing and heartbeat had stabilized, almost as if he had rested for several hours.
