Chapter 144: Toxins, Great Witch Sacrifices, and the Wounded

Those who can be kept in wooden cages are all high-level and extraordinary.

In addition to Uncle Sam, there was also Sid's, two nobles from Omar, and the last one was the leader of a large hunting group.

Without exception, they are all fifth-order "prisoners of war".

The captives had no food except for a little soup.

They all carried the [Forbidden Demon Stone Lock], and they couldn't escape if they wanted to, and they couldn't die if they wanted to, so they waited to sacrifice to the barbaric "Morogos God".

Among the seventy-two gods, the twenty-first ranked god general, the legendary "God of Mountain Power".

Wren finally understood why Udo had let the barbarian take care of him before leaving.

Because these new "prisoners of war" will be cared for, spit, and throw stones by the old and young women and children who have lost their relatives in the war...

I can't die, but it's very uncomfortable.

Wren was spared a beating because he was protected by the little kid named "Ao Bald"; And Tust and Karl, one old and one young, those barbarian women and children don't do much, and they don't fight much.

The worst ending is naturally a certain legend, who was concentrated on firepower, and another meal of stones was thrown all over his head.

Fortunately, werewolves have rough skin and thick flesh, even if there is a [Forbidden Demon Lock], this injury is a minor problem.

......

Look at Bazel grinning viciously at the barbarians who threw stones,

Uncle Sam next door sighed slightly as if he had come over, "Hey... Bazel seniors, useless, the more fierce they are, the more they will be angered. After a while, they'll gag your mouth with monster feces..."

When Bazel heard this, it was as if some unpleasant memories had been stirred up again, and his face changed abruptly, and he no longer grinned. He turned his back to himself and let the stones hit his back.

Wren looked at the sturdy wooden cage and sighed.

If only he can survive in the end, he always feels very heavy in his heart. A few around me, Uncle Sam, Bazel, and Tust's grandchildren... They are all the few people he knows in this world who can be called friends.

His kindness to save Uduo was only enough for him to live, and he also thought about what way he could think of to keep everyone alive.

Thinking to no avail, suddenly,

Carl on the side shouted anxiously: "Brother Rennes, my grandfather is dying!" Can you think of a way..."

Wren looked over and frowned, although he still had some emergency medicine in the folding space, but he couldn't inject the old man now.

And at this time, unfortunately, Wu Duo also walked towards the wooden cage.

Udo called the barbarians on guard to open Wren's cage and seemed to let him out.

At this time, Wren hurriedly said: "High Priest Udo, although we are captives, you can see that it is an old man who is dying, and he is also a sick person..."

Before he could finish his words, Uduo glanced at Tust and said coldly, "He is poisoned, which is called 'Mandolin Flesh Paralysis Toxin' in our Coleman clan. The poison devoured his flesh and blood, and it was torment to live..."

It is understandable that the "muscular dystrophy" caused by the toxin is treated as flesh and blood in the cognition of the primitive civilization of the Coleman people.

But Wren was surprised to hear that Uduo actually said the name of this toxin in one mouth!

Mandolin flesh paralysis toxin?

Now that the name is known, it means that they most likely have research on this toxin.

A flash of joy flashed in Wren's mind, and he hurriedly asked, "Do you Coleman clan have a solution to this toxin?" ”

What he didn't expect was that Wu Duo nodded and said casually: "Yes." ”

It doesn't seem like it's a very difficult toxin to address.

But she seemed to guess what Wren wanted to say, so she poured a basin of cold water in advance: "The 'witch doctor' in this toxin clan can be solved." But don't be delusional, we will never detoxify an aggressor. ”

Wren also knew that if he opened his mouth to force it again, he was afraid that it would wipe out what little favor Uduo had left;

He had to make one last attempt, saying, "You know, I'm a doctor of life, and I don't want to see an old patient die like this." Even if I don't detoxify, can I inject that old man with a potion, at least to keep him from dying for the time being. Don't waste your herbs, I have the finished product in my storage ring. ”

Wu Duo thought about it, and there was a little embarrassment in his eyes, but he also agreed.

Turning her face, she said again: "Come with me, the teacher wants to see you." I told him about how you saved me. As long as you don't offend, he should forgive you. ”

After saying that, Uduo added, "This is the maximum I can help you." After today, I will not owe you any favor. ”

Wren had a calm look on his face and nodded, "Thank you." ”

Isn't Udo's teacher the "Great Witch Sacrifice" Marfa of the mysterious Coleman Supreme Chief?

......

The wooden cell was opened.

Wren was untied from his ropes, and he followed Udo through the barbarian tribe towards the largest building in the tribe, a bamboo tower topped with beautiful bird feathers.

Along the way, countless barbarians cast curious glances at him.

Because they've also heard that there is a guy in the "invaders" who can speak their Coleman. Now, the Great Witch Priest of Marfa is going to see him again.

In a short time, the wooden building has already appeared in front of me.

Wren clearly saw that under the stilted building-style grass shed, there were several large snakes the size of a water tank.

When he followed Wu Duo onto the bamboo building, the breath of the living people made the eyes of the big snakes light up, as if they saw food and swam over.

Wren watched his eyelids jump, and hurriedly followed closely by Udo's side.

Outside the bamboo building, there are all kinds of air-dried herbs hanging everywhere, and a strong medicinal fragrance comes to the nostrils. He was a pharmacist himself and was sensitive to these smells.

However, in pharmacy, these herbs are usually ground into powder, or extracted in liquid form, and are rarely preserved with rhizomes.

Although I was curious, I didn't stay long.

Because he heard some rustling sounds again, from some corners of the bamboo building.

Obviously, in addition to the big snakes underground, there are many strange "living creatures" in the bamboo building.

Not long after,

Udo led Wren into the largest room in the bamboo building, and she said to the old man who was lying on the desk, writing and drawing on the animal skin, "Teacher, I brought him. ”

Wren's gaze fell.

The "Great Witch Sacrifice" Marfa is an old man with gray hair, and he doesn't look as good as the "elder" momentum he saw before, which will overshadow everything around him.

He's more of an ordinary old man.

This made Wren feel like he had seen Master Carvo in the library for the first time, and it was also the same kind of back-to-basics realm.

At first glance, he knew that this was a very powerful person.

The folds on Marfa's face are deep, giving a strong look at the signs of age. Some of the old ones looked like dried corpses crawling out of a grave. He wore a headdress made up of the skull of a white ox on his head, and the totemic color on his skin was also dulled by the dark skin background like bacon.

Wren thought about it, but he still took the initiative to say hello, protected his chest and made a general salute, and said: "Wren Hermes, a doctor from a distant country, has seen the honorable Great Witch Priest of the Coleman Clan. ”

The Great Witch Festival was much kinder than expected.

He was still writing and drawing, and without looking up, he responded in that old and hoarse voice: "I heard Little Udo say that 'doctor' is the name of the 'witch doctor' profession in your civilization. It is also a group of people among you who are kind and neutral. ”

When Wren got here, he knew that although Uduo looked cold, he had said a lot of good things about himself.

He immediately responded: "It is the duty of a doctor to save lives, and it is true that as you said, being a doctor is a relatively neutral profession. ”

And at this time, the Great Witch Priest seemed to finish writing, and glanced up at Wren.

At the moment when they looked at each other, Wren seemed to have a feeling of being "pierced".

What a pair of wise eyes, as if all the world's conspiracies were hidden under these eyes.

Wren froze slightly, but immediately returned to his normal color. I didn't do anything wrong, and there was nothing I didn't dare to look at.

But I can think that if it is a person with ulterior motives standing here, being stared at by the one just now, I am afraid that there will be a big problem.

.......

"I heard Udo say that you have a high talent for languages, and now that I see it, it is indeed the case."

The Great Witch Priest said, paused, and said, "It's rare to have an enemy who can communicate, can you answer a few questions from the old man?" ”

Wren: "Excuse me. ”

Great Witch Festival: "We were guarded in this forest by the Coleman people in the past, and there was no quarrel with the world. Why does your civilization go in and slaughter my people? ”

Wren responded: "For an energy fuel, coal. The operation of our kind of steel castle requires a lot of coal resource consumption. And someone in this forest, found a rich coal seam. ”

"Is that it?"

At this time, the great witch priest picked up a piece of high-burning coal on the table that looked like a black diamond.

Wren nodded: "Yes, this piece in your hand is a 'high-burning coal' with a higher value." ”

Marfa sighed again, "This thing is of little use to us except that it can replace wood for fire. The forest is full of... You think, you're doing that, right? ”

Wren felt it was time for him to cater to the old man and say "no."

But apparently, he knew that this kind of thing was not what the other party wanted to hear.

Moreover, such a thing as resource plundering, while bloody and brutal, is almost inevitable to happen between civilizations. The reason for the countless wars in the history of Wren's previous life was, from a certain point of view, actually for the redistribution of resources.

It's not a question of right or wrong,

It's human nature.

Thinking of this, Wren said: "Powerful beings have the instinct to conquer the weak. This is not only the law of the forest, but also the law of civilization. Dear Your Excellency, I have no disrespect for the nobles. Personally, I would prefer to have a friendship with the Colemans. But I'm sorry, but the war between the two races is not something that a small person like me can control. ”

Hearing this, the old man's expression still did not fluctuate at all.

This wise old man has already seen everything.

It's not just a war for resources, it's a conquest of the strong over the weak.

The invaders are not only interested in the coal mines, but also in all the resources of the forest, including them as Colemans.

Unless they are willing to be slaves and sacrifice everything, they will never satisfy the appetite of the aggressor.

This war, from the very beginning, was destined to end with a complete compromise on one side.

“...”

It was not very important for the Marfa Great Witch Priest to ask a few questions, and Wren answered them one by one.

Finally, it comes to the final question.

"Our Coleman clan is a grateful clan, since you saved little Udo, then in return, we will also let you leave the forest alive."

Speaking of this, the great witch priest looked at Wu Duo on the side again, and said, "Xiao Wu Duo helped you intercede, and she said that you and your partner are kind people... However, you should understand that the spirits of the innocently dead Coleman need blood to solace. It's a pity that you can't take your friends with you..."

Wren listened, chuckling in his heart.

The old man's words, though calm, gave a resolute attitude that left no room for manoeuvre. This made the rhetoric he had prepared before completely lose the opportunity to speak.

"I..."

Wren wanted to say something, but the old man didn't seem to pay any attention to his thoughts, and said, "Udo, take him out." Let the warriors escort him out of the forest..."

Udo: "Okay, teacher.

Wren's eyes trembled, and he couldn't hide his anxiety.

He knew very well that this was his only chance to see the Great Witch Sacrifice, and if he didn't take it, Carl and they would be dead!

And just as he was thinking about what conditions to put forward in order to impress the Great Witch Priest...

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the tribe!

It was as if a large group of people were rushing towards the bamboo building.

Listening to the footsteps, Marfa and Uduo in the room frowned at the same time, obviously, this hurried footsteps would definitely be good news!

Sure enough.

After a few breaths, someone appeared at the door, anxiously shouting, "Lord Witch, it's not good, 'High Priest Hela' is injured!" Not long ago, those damned invaders attacked the 'Windy Mountain Tribe', and the witch doctors were helpless to cover his people's serious injuries, so please save him..."

As soon as this person reported, the door was full of people.

Now that the two tribes are at war, it is all too normal for the outer tribes to be attacked, but casualties are almost daily.

Wren looked intently as a group of men appeared in front of the attic door carrying a female high priestess covered in blood.

The Great Witch Priest Marfa is not only the leader of the Colemans, but also the most powerful witch doctor in the tribe.

When he heard this, he walked up to the wounded man with a serious face.

Udo didn't have time to pay attention to Wren anymore, and surrounded him with an anxious face.

......

The barbarians were all tall, and when they were gathered together, it was like a row of "black bamboo forests" appeared in front of him.

Looking through a pair of long dark legs, Wren saw a female savage with an arrow stuck in the socket of her left eye, lying on a plank stretcher.

The Great Witch Priest Marfa examined her injuries, and Wren saw it clearly, and the arrow pierced her skull, revealing a large section in the back of her head.

This kind of penetrating injury, it is lucky to be alive. It has survived until now because those "witch doctors" use healing spells to forcibly maintain vital signs.

But if you don't deal with it, sooner or later you will die.

Moreover, Wren's sharp eyes also saw that the arrow was not ordinary, it was a very vicious "Breaking Alchemy Centipede Arrow".

In addition to the arrow, there are centipede-like barbs on the shaft of the arrow, and once the arrow penetrates, no matter which direction it is pulled out, it will bring out a large mass of flesh and blood.

Now penetrates the brain, this has to be pulled hard, and no matter how strong the "healing spell" is, it can't be saved.

The Great Witch Priest Marfa examined it carefully, and also found the strangeness of the arrow, and his brows became more and more furrowed.

The Coleman medical system is still in its very primitive stage.

Ninety-nine percent of the wounds are treated in the same way, which is to take a lump of black mashed herbs and apply it to the wound, then bandage it with leaves and wait for it to heal.

To deal with that kind of particularly large wound, there are also some simple sutures, that is, take some small biological casings and use fishbone needles as thick as sewing clothes to stitch them.

Of course, this has something to do with the constitution of the Coleman people, and many times it is okay to deal with it this way, but the infection mortality rate is not low.

They didn't compare, and they didn't see anything wrong with it.

As for "witchcraft treatment", it is a treatment that only very serious patients have.

These healing methods of "witchcraft" are actually the same as the transcendent priesthood systems. The principle of the spell is to use extraordinary power to stimulate the activity of human cells and accelerate wound healing; Or forcibly stimulate the body's hormone secretion to maintain vital signs.

In many cases, this is a very useful treatment.

However, some special injuries are not completely eradicated, and no matter how powerful the spell is, it cannot be saved.

For example, in front of you.

.......

Wren is a doctor himself, and when he sees a wounded, he reflexively thinks about what he should do if he encounters such a situation.

Since the last time he almost had his head cut off and burped in the City of Radiance, Wren has spent a lot of effort studying life-saving emergency surgery.

What head shots, knives, arrows... All these injuries have been carefully scrutinized and practiced by Wren in his brain.

As long as he doesn't die on the spot, he will think about how to save himself.

Of course, if you can save yourself, you can save others.

.......

As Wren expected, the Great Witch Festival was powerful.

He picked up a green magical fluorophore in his hand and pressed it against the wound of the priestess with the arrow. In the blink of an eye, the blood completely stopped flowing out, and all the wounds on her body were visibly healed.

In the blink of an eye, the blood scab fell off, and the new skin was already intact, and the healing effect was like a miracle.

However, the arrow stuck in the eye socket was still not pulled out.

He had done so to temporarily resolve the priestess's injuries, but the most fundamental problem had not yet been resolved.

This kind of "centipede arrow" will die if it is pulled out, but it is impossible to cure it if it is not pulled out, which makes Marfa also in a dilemma.

After thinking about it for a long time, it was fruitless.

Looking at the expectant and anxious eyes of the clansmen, the old man sighed and shook his head.

This sigh was understood by everyone

The witch priest can't help it, and this is already the death penalty.

No one in the tribe could heal her.

The expectation in the eyes of these barbarians quickly turned to tears and despair.

"Lord Witchcraft, those invaders are so hateful, they have already begun to invade the outer reaches of the forest..."

"Lord Witch Priest, let's fight with them!"

"That's right! Kill them all and avenge your people."

“...”

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, and their sadness instantly turned into hatred, which became stronger and stronger.

The atmosphere in the whole small building was very oppressive.

But suddenly,

An out-of-place voice came out.

......

"That's... Witch Priest..."

This sentence seems to have a magical power, and it freezes the air somewhere.

The barbarians in the room turned their heads to look at it.

Just now, things were anxious, and no one noticed that there was a white-skinned dwarf in the house, but now that they saw Wren.

Hey... There's a damn invader running to their holiest place?!

Even Wu Duo looked surprised, and the look in his eyes was angry and anxious.

At this juncture, aren't you quiet?

This is over, it angers the clansmen, even if she wants to save it, she can't save it!

Wren was so angry that he was about to burst into flames, and his hair exploded, and he hurriedly said the second half of his sentence.

"I mean, I'm also a doctor. This injury... I can cure it. ”
