"Knox!"

Decapitating Naingak's head and ignoring his body, Eric quickly looked back at Knox.

"Ah...... Hiss...... Child...... Lord Viscount, it's not ...... yet Not dead yet."

Knox was on and off, and his condition could be said to be extremely bad.

The three steel forks pierced directly through his chest and abdomen, and the huge force brought him to and nailed him to the trunk of the tree, and three more blood holes appeared on the already bloody right half of his body.

Another rib was broken, two holes were poked out of the lungs, and one hole was in the abdomen. The three teeth of the steel fork were all nailed into the trunk of the tree, and the whole person was worn on the steel fork and hung on the tree.

Not daring to delay, Eric turned the wind into a blade, using his hand as a knife, and did his best to chop off the trunk behind Knox. The injury was so severe that Eric didn't dare pull out the steel fork.

Unexpectedly, Knox came from a ruthless force out of nowhere, held the handle of the steel fork with his left hand, and pulled the steel fork out directly.

The phenomenon of blood gushing did not appear, and a burst of flames burst from Knox's wound, not as docile as when he resisted the enemy, but allowed the flames to scorch the wound, and a smell of burnt paste spread.

"Knox, don't move. Bourcho, we'll have to get him back to the boat and take care of his injuries......"

Knox's injuries are so severe that they could be life-threatening at any moment. Eric didn't bother to continue probing, and stepped forward to pick up Knox, ready to turn back.

"No need, Viscount. I can still walk...... Ahem......"

Ignoring his injuries, he barely stood up, but he walked out of the ark by himself.

"I was badly injured, but I was able to walk back. But we've already killed this monster, and there's no reason not to alarm them, and it's hard for us to have another chance to find out. ”

Although his injuries were severe, their goal was to enter the entrance to the lava land. If you miss this time, let alone enter the lava field, it will be difficult to even try to find out something.

"Knox...... You...... You're sure you can do it. ”

Viscount Eric is not a cold-blooded man, but he also knows which is more important, as Knox said, this is the first and last exploration.

But everyone has long been friends of life and death, and even more than once, no matter how you say it, you will not leave someone behind.

"Otherwise, let Bourcho go back with you, and I'll investigate. ”

"No! you've exhausted yourself against this monster, and even if you can recover some, it's limited, and you can take care of it with Bourcho to get the word out. ”

After saying this, Knox didn't wait for Eric's response, turned around and left, this was the first time he planned to disobey.

"Alas......"

Knox made a gesture of disobedience, but Eric didn't show any anger, all so that he could find some traces and not be too passive when sealing.

Looking at Knox's trembling body drowning in the fog, Eric lowered his head.

"Bourcho...... Let's go......"

"Yes, Lord Viscount. ”

Strange to say, Bourcho thought he would be afraid when he went behind enemy lines, especially after discovering the strength of the enemy, but after all, something overshadowed his fear, supported him, and kept up with Eric's footsteps.

The fog was so thick that in a few moments they were drowning in the fog on the other side.

On the woodland was a massive, charred corpse and a hideous, charred head.

"Ah...... Damn ......"

Knox's injuries were so severe that they were even more than he expected. Not only was he penetrated, but his internal organs were also severely traumatized.

If the tear in the torso can be burned by flame to stop the bleeding, the damage to the organs can only be allowed to erupt. With extraordinary strength, Knox can also make subtle adjustments to his body, but the injuries that penetrate are too serious, and it is already the limit to be able to barely stop the bleeding with all his might, not to mention the need to shuttle through complex terrain.

He leaned against the tree, gasping for air. Although the lung damage is temporarily contained, the function is also reduced a lot, and the breathing requirements become higher.

"Hah...... I thought I could do it......"

Knox mustered up his strength and began to condense the power of the fire in his body, squeezing his own vitality. Ordinary people will never do this, squeezing life is shortening life, and they will not do it until they die.

Knox didn't know what it meant to squeeze life, but he knew it would affect his life, but he had no choice but to do it or die.

Vitality is brought into the flame, and the flame flows into vitality, squeezing the vitality of the whole body, and then the flame repairs the wound. Although there is a lot of loss, the effect is immediate, and the damage to the internal organs is much less.

"That's enough......"

Even if he was still scarred, he was able to manage his injuries while persevering.

Between this exhale and breath, his vitality is definitely not less than ten years. And the past ten years of vitality have only brought his injuries under control, so that he will not die violently on the way.

"Hey, it's okay......"

Limping and swaying from side to side, Knox insisted on walking despite the intense pain, and he didn't dare to stop.

It hurt so much, the heart-rending pain prevented him from moving, and he was afraid that he would never dare to stand up again if he stopped. It's too lacking, it's not just his vitality that is lost in the transportation of vitality, but also his strength and spirit, and he is afraid that he will never want to stand up again as soon as he stops.

Passing through the mist, he was energized by more and more broken and charred vines on the ground.

"It's almost there"

He wasn't sure if he would be able to pick up a life when he got to the ship, life and death were too terrifying for him to imagine. If you fall into the fear of death, you may never return to the ship.

finally

The fog began to thin out, the sand beneath his feet began to grow rough, and the first tree with hanging vines came into view.

"Finally, has it arrived?"

A wave of faith rose from my heart, and even my pace quickened a little.

All the way to the fragmented black stone, he saw Zelin, and Zelin saw him. His strength seemed to be drained all at once, and the whole person fell forward, slumping to the ground.

Knox was not unconscious, his consciousness was still very conscious, and he controlled the organs in his abdomen and chest cavity, and he did not dare to miss the slightest mistake. And the complete detachment is because of the exploitation of vitality.

squeezed out the vitality in an instant, and it was already lucky that he didn't go limp on the spot, not to mention taking advantage of such a body and walking all the way back to the ark.

"Captain Knox!"

Zelin had already raced to Knox's side, picked him up, and carried him step by step onto the ark.

"Captain, Viscount, they ......"

I only saw Knox returning covered in blood, looking very embarrassed, although the movements were not panicked, but it was inevitable to think of some terrible results, and I couldn't talk about it for a while.

"Viscount...... My lord...... They're fine, it's just me ......."

Knox's voice was weak, but he finally managed to sort out his words.

"That'...... Great."

Lord Viscount was fine, Zelin was still cheering, but when he saw Knox's miserable appearance, he couldn't laugh.

"yes, that's great. ”

Knox didn't care about these little things, and it was also his duty for the Viscount to be safe, and since it had been completed, he could naturally afford this cheer.

"Aren't you awake yet?"

Looking at Alez, whose face was gradually improving, Knox asked, but sighed a little.

"Alez is waking up, but I'm afraid I'm going to sleep on this sea. ”

"Not yet, Captain. But your injuries will definitely get better!"

At this moment, waves splashed on both sides of the ark, and two tall figures emerged.

Those were two Naga warriors, much taller than the high-ranking warrior Naingake, but also much taller than humans, at least three meters tall.

The four arms did not hold the four weapons separately, but held a trident of cold light in their hands.

"[What is this, land monkey?]"

The Naga warriors swam close to the Ark, and although Knox didn't understand the Naga language, he knew it wasn't a good word. And based on the initial attitude of the Storm Apostle and Naingak, it can be concluded that this group of Naga is absolutely hostile to humans, and a battle is inevitable.

"Damn it, be careful, Zelin. ”

Knox was too badly injured and didn't have much strength to fight back at the moment, and now the only one who could fight was Zelin. But he knows the combat power of these Naga, these two are a little lacking in height, and their strength will be much weaker. But even if it is a heads-up, Zelin has enough strength to fight against it.

Both Naga stopped not far from the ark, their tridents swinging one after another, and several invisible blades slammed into the ark.

Although the ark is only a means of transportation, it is also a treasure, and naturally it will not have any defenses. Before a few invisible wave blades could touch the ark, a thin film rose up, blocking the two attacks.

The two Naga didn't expect that this ordinary-looking ark actually had protective measures, so they immediately made a decision and once again condensed a wave of invisible blade stars, wanting to completely break the protective shield.

The invisible blade was fierce, but there was nothing it could do about this delicate film, and it was completely intercepted by the protection of the ark, showing a few ripples. After failing three times and twice, the two Nagas no longer tried to send out the futile invisible blades, but instead rushed forward with their tridents.

The ark's protection against extraordinary strength is extremely good, but it can be replaced with physical force and the protection effect is almost non-existent, otherwise it would not be so passive in the face of the attack of the octopus troll. Suffering physical damage, the ark itself can rely on materials to resist one or two, but there is no protection for the crew.

"Zelin, I'll deal with the one on the left, you solve the one on the right for me!"

There are Naga on both sides, and Zelin, who is of average strength, will inevitably not be able to defend himself, and Knox will naturally not be patient. The power of recovery is small, but it is barely usable, and it is not a problem to block a Naga Guardian for the time being.

"Roaring ......"

In the blink of an eye, Naga had rushed to the front of him.
