Sepsis (5,000)
How light our lives are, they are all held back by the filth of the flesh and all kinds of desires. This life is never so simple dreams and tribulations, not simple so-called ideals and conspiracies, life is not such a simple concept, what the real life will be like is to be completed and answered by ourselves. ——"Nalan Mountain's Last Writing in the Year of Chu Chen"
Xiang Zhuang squinted his eyes at the black horseman, and saw two big horses not far from the black horseman, and several other armorers were busy unloading the things on the horse's back.
He probably understood why the Black Knights were injured, and the cargo on the back of the two horses was a brown bear that had been cut off by the waist.
The upper half of the bear was slashed open from near the white hair on its chest, and the wound was extremely smooth, obviously unhindered, and the flesh and bones were split in two by the extremely fast knife momentum.
The damage to the Black Rider's chest was like being slapped in the chest by the bear's thick palm, and the iron armor made of fine iron itself was not broken but only collapsed slightly, while the flesh of the Black Rider's chest was cracked by the great force of the bear's paw.
Xiang Zhuang's eyes lowered and sighed, if it weren't for the fact that this black cavalry commander didn't have this whole body strength tempered by the body of the grandmaster, this brown bear would not only be injured by tearing the flesh and skin on his chest, but also an ordinary warrior in the past, not to mention the flesh and skin cracking, I am afraid that the flesh and blood will fly on the spot, and the internal organs will turn into residues, and he will die violently, and the first seven fears will have passed at this time.
The nearby Nanling of the Thunder Eye Mountains is full of trees, the grass is abundant, the forest is bottomless, and there are hundreds of beasts in it, but this big brown bear is also the overlord among them, but who knows that it will be divided into two by someone and hung on a horse.
These passing merchants were afraid of bears and sometimes thieves more than thieves.
Wu 13 looked at the bear's huge two bodies, and only bleed to dye half of the horse's body red, and at this time, drops were still flowing down the horse's back, soaking the ground into a puddle of blood, and his heart trembled, and even his body trembled a few times.
"Mr. Xiang, you said that this bear blood is really a lot!"
Xiang Zhuang, who was provoked on the side, rolled his eyes helplessly, this seems to be a rather clever adult man, why do he speak and act like a dumb melon tonight.
The merchants and guards who sat around the bonfire again also looked straight at this time, and the knife was hanging around their necks just now, and everyone looked carefully in the future, only then did they notice the two bear corpses hanging on the back of the high-headed horse, which caused these merchants and guards who were also going south and north to marvel again and again.
They didn't know how these wolf crow army could cut such a stout wild bear in two, and after thinking for a while, they couldn't help but feel a little fear in their hearts when they looked at the bear corpse on horseback.
Could it be that the soldiers of the wolf crow army are killing chickens and making an example of monkeys? Thinking of this, these merchant guards looked at it again, and where was the bear corpse on horseback, it was obvious that if they dared to make a move, they would be the fate of themselves and others.
As soon as they figured out where the joints were, these merchant guards couldn't help but shudder, looking at the black-armored cavalry sitting on the ground, their bodies becoming more and more restrained.
"Cut the bear open, throw away the internal organs, cut the meat slices, wash and bake them, take out the bear bile, buy some wine from these merchants, and soak the wine!"
"Yes, Deputy Commander!"
Suddenly, the voice was lower than that of the brown bear on horseback, and it shook the branches of the nearby trees, and for a moment frightened the faces of the surrounding merchants.
The man who spoke was also as majestic as the brown bear, and it was intimidating, his incomprehensible chain mail rustling and swaying as he walked slowly, almost like a small mountain moving, and the muscles and muscles on his face were tangled together, and the ferocity was terrifying.
And those black cavalry warriors seemed to be commonplace, and that person seemed to have an unusual status in this wolf crow army, and ordinary black cavalry warriors did not dare to disobey his words at all, and nodded and promised to remove the bear corpse on horseback to take care of it.
When the nearest merchant heard the black knight in the armoured soldier speak like this, they hurriedly got up and sent all the good wine from Wanzhou in the procession, and they dared to collect the money again, and they shirked it for a long time, so that the black knight who came forward to get the wine impatiently threw a piece of silver in the merchant's arms, turned around and left, and the merchant had to laugh back to the same place.
The black knight with a figure like a hill looked at his subordinates to clean the bear meat, and then walked straight to the newly burning bonfire, where the black knight commander sat down on his side, only to hear a "bang", and the mountain-like body had already sat down.
The merchants covered their mouths and noses, because the black knight sat down, and the dust mist was splashed in the air.
After the black knight sat down, he also wanted to sit cross-legged like his own commander, but he struggled hard for a long time, and finally had to give up because of his bloated body.
The commander of the black cavalry is an old god who is often not moved by the person next to him, and his pair of bright and surprisingly bright eyes are not moved at all, just looking at the injury on his chest.
The black knight looked around boredly, but inadvertently saw the scabbard on the ground at the side of his own commander.
The hilt of the knife is made of brown deerskin velvet, and the scabbard is slender and ornate, with different gemstones on it, and the appearance is already so beautiful that you can imagine that the knife is also extremely sharp.
The bloated black knight was overjoyed, and wanted to reach out and pull the knife out of the ground and have a good time.
As soon as he reached out and grabbed the hilt of the knife, he wanted to pull it out, but at that moment another hand suddenly pressed on the hilt.
The bloated Black Rider suddenly looked up and saw the surprisingly calm eyes of his own commander, and a flattering smile appeared on the Black Rider's face.
It turned out that the commander of the black cavalry saw the movements of the black cavalry warrior at some point, and also stretched out his hand to hold on the hilt of the knife with the deputy commander of the black cavalry, and the commander of the black cavalry silently pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife, and the force made the bloated deputy commander of the black cavalry unable to pull it out.
The two sides were at a stalemate for a moment, and the black knight commander didn't pay attention to the flattering smile of the fat man in front of him, and said coldly, "This is the knife given to me by the leader!" ”。
The deep voice of the Black Rider Commander rang out in the ears of the Commander, and the Commander snorted in anger and let go of his hand.
"Commander, you're too stingy, don't you just want to see what this knife looks like!"
The Black Knight's Commander was unmoved, but gently raised his hand and pulled out the knife stuck in the ground and placed it on his legs.
"Hmph, when I returned to the city that day, I also made the world ......!"
"Huh?" , the brown bear-like black cavalry deputy commander had not yet spoken, and was choked in his throat by a cold snort from his own commander's mouth.
"I ...... I'll let the chief give me a handful! ”
Seeing that his own commander looked unkind, the deputy commander of the black cavalry knew that he had almost missed a word again, and then looked at his commander fiercely, and he was silent for a while.
Although the movements of the two people were noisy, the words of the two people were not heard by several people.
provoked the black knights who were busy behind them to pay attention, shook their heads in unison, and the deputy commander went to provoke the commander again, every time he had to eat deflated and never tired of it, this person was really boring.
The Black Rider Commander didn't care about the fool next to him, but silently clenched the gorgeous hilt, and slowly pulled it out.
A soft silver light was held in his palm, it was a long knife, the blade was slender and full of seven feet six, the blade was as smooth as water, and even made people feel that there would be a trace of ripples on it, and under the light of the fire, the knife body had a cold coldness, so that people could know at a glance that this was a rare famous knife, but this knife should not be like this kind of armor should have.
The black knight commander looked at the knife, a smile appeared on his face for the first time in a long time, and there was a fiery meaning in his eyes.
The flesh-ruptured wound on his chest grew larger, and the blood that flowed from the wound fell onto the dry ground.
Just now, in the silent wrestling with the deputy commander of the Black Cavalry, the wound on his chest that had just scabbed open.
He seemed to cherish the weapon very much, ignoring the blood dripping from his chest, ignoring the gradually deteriorating injury, his fingers gently stroked the blade, the touch was extremely cold, like winter in his hometown, so quiet that people felt a chill.
He slowly approached the fire, and didn't seem to notice Xiang Zhuang and Wu Shisan, who were rubbing over here.
"Commander!"
The deputy commander of the black cavalry next to him seemed to know what he was about to do, and he couldn't help but exclaim, and his tightly clenched fists showed that the deputy commander who was like a brown bear was not at all calm in his heart.
The black knight commander ignored the call of the robe next to him, and slowly roasted the long knife silently in the fire.
The knife stretched into the fire, like a piece of cold ice into the fire, and the onlookers were afraid that the knife would melt in the next second, and the cold light on the knife body reflected a rainbow of brilliance in the flames in the sky.
"Commander! It's too dangerous! We will soon be able to return to the city, and when the time comes, let Lord Ah Qi do it, and we will be able to heal you!" ”
The deputy commander of the black cavalry couldn't help but say anxiously, wanting to reach out and snatch the long knife from his own commander's hand.
"Nonsense, there are still hundreds of miles away on the way back to the city, and there are countless fierce beasts and enemies along the way, how can you deal with it alone?
If I drag another injured body, won't it become a drag? Besides, although there is no Lord Ah Qi here, I also have the sword given to me by the leader, and the leader will bless me!
You don't have to persuade me anymore, I've made up my mind! ”
Looking at the cold face of his own commander, the deputy commander of the black cavalry couldn't help but be secretly anxious, but he couldn't find any good reason for a while, so he had to sit aside.
The two of them looked at the flames around the bonfire, and Wu Shisan noticed that the eyes of the black knight commander were so black that there was no variegation at this time, like a bottomless abyss.
"He ........." Wu Shisan only felt as if his mind was absorbed into the endless abyss, and he couldn't help but whisper for a while.
Xiang Zhuang slammed his shoulders and pressed his exclamation back.
At this time, the black cavalry commander obviously used all his strength, and he was engrossed in sealing the wound on his chest, as evidenced by those eyes.
It was a vision that only appeared when the grandmaster used all his strength, and at this time, if Wu Shisan's voice disturbed the strength of the black knight leader's qi walking, I was afraid that he and the others would be torn to pieces by the black knight who looked like a brown bear in the next second.
The Black Rider Commander, who was controlling the flow of qi throughout his body and finally rushing to his chest, did not seem to hear anything, he quietly put the long knife on his right chest by the campfire, and with a slight blow in his arm, the sharp long knife cut along the deepest wound in his chest.
Although beads of sweat the size of beans were rolling down the forehead of the Black Rider, his arm was extremely steady and cut extremely slowly.
The gushing blood quickly soaked the entire belt around his body, and he propped open the freshly cut wound with his fingertips, carefully reaching in with his other hand.
As soon as his fingers reached half-finger length, he seemed to have groped for something, pulled it out of his chest, and threw it into the campfire in front of him without looking.
The thing made a muffled noise against the wood in the campfire.
"What is that, taken out of his chest?"
Wu Shisan, who was on the side, covered his mouth, for fear that he would call out, with a look of disbelief, he looked at the black horse commander in a daze and asked.
"That's the ring of his soft armor." Xiang Zhuang also said in a low voice with a look of amazement, which thing he saw in the fire with sharp eyes, "It seems that the brown bear once slapped him vigorously, smashing his close soft armor, and the armor ring was embedded inverted into the ruptured wound on his chest." ”
When Wu Shisan heard this, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, but he didn't say anything for a long time.
"Slapped by such a majestic brown bear? Is that man still alive? Wu Shisan said incredulously, "Not to mention that you can still ride a horse with that iron ring embedded in your flesh and blood, is this really a human being!" ”
A little surprise flashed in Xiang Zhuang's eyes, and he couldn't help but speak, "This is the body of the Grandmaster, as long as you don't suffer a fatal injury, you can block the injury!" ”
Xiang Zhuang paused, and then whispered softly.
"In the case of a samurai or grandmaster who is extremely agile, as long as his body immediately flies upside down when he receives this blow, and with soft unloading force, he can unload most of the force from that slam blow.
I think he was suddenly attacked by a brown bear in the jungle when he was on his way, and when he was caught off guard, he first sprinted deep into the brown bear's heart with the long knife in his hand.
At this time, the brown bear was already furious, and he couldn't avoid it if he wanted to get rid of it quickly, so that the brown bear wouldn't cause more damage.
He had to face off with the already berserk brown bear, and the result was obvious, the brown bear was stabbed in two by him, and he was inevitably slapped by the brown bear in the palm of his death. It seems that the blow of the brown bear is not far from killing him. ”
"That's a ...... Brave! Wu Shisan listened to Xiang Zhuang on the side with an incredible face, he always felt that how could a person fight with such a beast, but under Xiang Zhuang's reasoned explanation, he glanced back at the cleaned brown bear, and had to say the word brave, and then the black horse commander was like a god in his eyes.
"When people have any wishes, they will always be able to do what others can't," Xiang Zhuang whispered, a slight smile on his lips.
The whispers of the two on this side didn't seem to be noticed by the Black Rider Commander, who had already devoted all his energy to treating his injuries, and when he pulled out the fourth ring, his already pale face was so pale that there was no human color.
The deputy commander of the black horse beside him is already like an ant on a hot pot, impatient, although he is not a master like a leader, but at least it is a product, at least there is still something in his eyes, and now anyone can see that the commander is about to be unable to support it.
The current commander only used the last bit of strength to support, and all the black knights in the vicinity were surrounded behind their leader, their eyes anxious, but there was nothing they could do.
Although the commander had already taken out all the iron rings that had been trapped in his chest, the wound was too big to be sutured for a while, and if such a large injury could not be sutured, there was a risk of septicemia.
The Black Rider Commander trembled and plunged the long knife into the bonfire again, this time burning the long knife for a long time, and gradually the color of the blade of the long knife changed slightly.
"You may not be able to restrain the blood in this way," Xiang Zhuang suddenly raised his voice and said, "Even if you burn the long knife into a soldering iron, you can't smooth out the entire wound."
If there is a little wound that cannot be treated, sepsis is possible. What's more, even if the wound is scalded, there is a high risk of septic blood, and it is spring. ”
The Black Rider Commander suddenly heard a sound in his hand, and in an instant, all the Black Cavalry Armorers looked at him, and the Black Rider Commander also looked up and looked this way, unbelievably that even under such pain, his black eyes were surprisingly bright.
The two looked at each other wordlessly for a moment, and then the Black Rider Commander lowered his head again and tightened his grip on the hilt of the long knife.
"So what? I don't want to die here yet, I still have the things that the head of my family has to do. He whispered.
"It is not easy for people to live in this life, and sometimes they have to die, but it is not so simple." Xiang Zhuang suddenly got up as he spoke, and he walked straight to the side of the Black Cavalry Commander, squatting down to look at his injuries.
The Black Horse Commander also stopped his dead horse as a live horse doctor, and let him watch, and the two seemed to maintain a tacit understanding.
After a while, Xiang Zhuang nodded: "This kind of injury is not too serious for your sect master's body, but I am only afraid of septica."
Besides, there are few medicinal herbs in this wasteland, so it's just a little difficult to deal with, but fortunately you met a passing caravan. ”
Xiang Zhuang got up and shouted, "Who brought dried wormwood?" ”
The black cavalry armor behind the black cavalry commander looked at the group of merchants, and the deputy black cavalry commander even got up and walked directly towards the caravan.
"Wormwood! Give me your wormwood! ”
Some of the merchants of the caravan hurriedly heard the sound and looked over, and when they saw the fierce deputy commander of the black cavalry approaching, they were obviously frightened.
"Whoever has dried wormwood, take it out quickly, I need wormwood to treat his wound, otherwise the wound may fester, forming sepsis within a few days."
Xiang Zhuang was tall and said steadily in his eyes.
