Chapter 8 If you want to reach the peak, you must endure the pain!
In the face of Annie's questioning, Rosen could only smile bitterly: "You didn't give me a chance at all." ”
"Ah~~~" Anne pulled her hair frantically: "Okay." Tell me, what should I do?! ”
"I need water, silver powder, hops, and ghost needle flowers, you should have all of them, right?" Rosen asked.
Anne nodded: "Of course." Hops can cure parasitic diseases. Ghost needle flower can cure malaria. Silver can restrain a lot of monster magic, especially effective against vampires, and is a must-have for wild travel. ”
She said as she took out all the things that Lawson wanted from the package.
Lawson pointed to the silver powder, the ghost needle flower, and the hop seeds, and said to Anne: "Add water, mix these together, and mash them into a paste, quickly." ”
"Okay." Anne did as she was told, she obviously also had some alchemy skills, and she carried a small medicine mortar with her, and her hands were also strong, and she pounded the herbs into a black paste in three strokes and two strokes.
Rosen stepped forward, dipped his finger in a little black paste and put it in his mouth, while calming down, activating his alchemy talent, and began to savor it.
'Hops seeds are astringent, ghost needles are bitter, silver powder is very sharp, and water with strong tolerance is used as a buffer, and it is the so-called 'low-grade evil exorcism' when mixed together. In the game, alchemists often use the adjective 'holy' when describing the smell of the medicine...... Hiss~ It feels like a moonlit night in clear weather, ethereal and quiet, this should be a sense of holiness, right? ’
Seeing that Rosen had not spoken, Anne asked worriedly, "How is it, is it useful?" ”
Lawson nodded: "Almost." You divide this thing into two parts, one on my neck wound, and cover all the bloody areas near the wound. I'm going to eat the rest. ”
Anne immediately complied, she ripped off the bandage on Lawson's neck, the green crystal paste worked very well, and in a moment, the wound on Lawson's neck had completely stopped bleeding, leaving only two black blood scabs.
"Tear the blood scab off to reveal fresh wounds." Lawson tilted his head sideways and gritted his teeth.
"Okay." Anne complied, and her movements were very swift, and she 'tore and pulled' off the bloody scab, and the painful Rosen shook uncontrollably.
Anne immediately covered the potion, only to hear a soft sound of 'z', and a faint puff of green smoke came out of Rosen's neck.
"Hiss~It hurts~~"
Lawson felt countless sharp needles piercing his neck, and the sharp stinging sensation radiated out in all directions from the center of the wound, and the muscles around the neck and even the arms involuntarily spasmed violently. Because of the clenching of his teeth, the green tendons on his forehead collapsed, and his face looked very hideous.
"Ah~~~" Lawson had an irrepressible moan rolling in his throat, which sounded a little like the low roar of a beast.
This look was really terrifying, Anne was a little frightened to see it, and she subconsciously wanted to wipe the medicine paste off Lawson's neck.
Lawson snapped to stop: "Don't move!" That's it! ”
In the game, he used to give this low-level exorcism to NPCs, and those NPCs reacted exactly the same as he does now, although it was painful, but it also proved that the potion configuration was correct.
Rosen couldn't help but sigh in his heart: 'A game is a game after all, and the appearance above what you see. Only by truly entering this world can we truly understand the darkness of the world. ’
After about half a minute, the pain in his neck began to slowly subside, and after about 3 minutes, the pain finally dropped to the point that Lawson could easily endure it.
He exhaled, "Give me the rest of the herbs." ”
After getting the medicine, Zhang Yuan gritted his teeth, tilted his head, and swallowed all the medicine paste, and at the end, he took a large sip of water from the water bladder to wash away the bitter taste in his mouth.
After waiting for about half a minute, a strong burning sensation suddenly came from my stomach, and the pain was extremely violent, as if a bomb had exploded in my stomach.
"Hmph~"
Rosen snorted, knelt on the ground holding his stomach, his waist could not be bent down uncontrollably, his head was on the ground, his hands were tightly grasping the weeds on the ground, his body was constantly trembling, and his forehead was full of cold sweat.
For a moment, Rosen even had the illusion that his internal organs were being roasted, and he thought that he would die of pain.
"Rosen, how are you?" Anne crouched beside Rosen, helpless.
"I ..... Not...... It's okay, wait...... Wait ......" Lawson couldn't say the whole thing.
In the agony of terror, Rosen almost broke down, and all sorts of thoughts swirled in his mind.
'Why should I endure such pain?' Why should I run away? Being sucked to death is not a particularly painful process, and it will be a hundred times after I die, and maybe I can return to Earth. ’
'No, I can't give up! Even if it's a virtual dream, I'm going to stick to it to the end and never give up! ’
But why should I insist? ’
'If you want to reach the peak, you must endure the pain!' The process of a great victory is bound to be accompanied by great effort. Hold on, hold on, as long as you endure it, you will have a chance to kill the vampire Viken! ’
It was in this self-encouragement that Rosen persevered.
This time, the pain lasted longer than before, and it took a full 3 minutes before it began to slowly weaken, and another 3 minutes before it did not affect Lawson's movements.
Rosen's face was pale and papery, and his body was soaked with cold sweat, and he struggled to get up from the ground, and said to Anne, "Now, stab your Lily in the ass, stab lightly, and bleed." ”
"What's the use of that?" Anne was a little strange, but Rosen's performance was really amazing, his strong endurance for pain, his courage and adaptability did not resemble that of a pampered rich young master, although they had only known him for an hour, she already admired the boy very much.
Now that the other party said this, although she hesitated in her heart, she still complied, took out a dagger, and lightly slashed on the black horse's buttocks, and the horse's blood suddenly flowed out.
"A slash in my arm, a tap, and a spill of my blood over Lily's wound, a few drops of blood will suffice!"
"Huh? I seem to kind of get it. ”
She did as she was told, and when she was done, she wrapped Rosen's wound: "Does this really work?" ”
"It works." Rosen began to explain: "The herb just now is a low-level exorcism, it can't expel the blood mark magic, but it can greatly suppress the breath of the blood mark magic, and every time you use it, it can work for three days. The biggest feature of blood seal magic is that it can rely on blood to spread quickly. Mix my blood with horse blood, and the bloodmark magic will spread to the horse. In this way, the magical aura emitted by the horse will be very strong, like a candle flame in the night. One light and one darkness, we can temporarily evade Viken's tracking. ”
Blood seal magic sounds mysterious, but its properties are very similar to the earth's infectious diseases, and it is the kind of infectious disease that relies on blood. Infected individuals do not show any symptoms, but they emit a peculiar smell on their bodies. Ordinary people can't smell this smell, but vampires are very sensitive to this smell and can easily track it.
Anne frowned: "Then what if Lily is found by Viken?" He'll be able to find Lily's soon. Besides, Lily is a good horse. ”
She was a little reluctant.
Rosen can understand Anne's feelings, in this world, Ma Ji understands human nature, and it is normal for Anne to be reluctant, but the situation is forced to take care of it so much.
"Lily isn't the only decoy," he snapped. You see, there are forests on both sides of the road, and there are many animals, such as rabbits, wolves, bears, and deer, all of which can be used as bait. With so much bait, Lily doesn't necessarily die, after all, it's just a horse, and vampires aren't hungry enough to eat, right?"
Stalkers have a hard time dealing with monsters, but against wild animals, it's not difficult at all.
"That's right!" Anne subconsciously shouted, her eyes lit up. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this method was wonderful, and she couldn't help but clap her palm: "Ah, why are you so smart, little guy?" You can think of this idea. In this case, the vampire must be exhausted. ”
"Then why are you staying here? Let's get moving, shall we? Rosen urged.
"Of course! Of course! ”
Anne unloaded all the packages from the horse, carried them on her back, and slapped the horse's buttocks again, and Lily was in pain, and immediately began to gallop along the road.
"Follow me." Anne waved at Rosen, and she scurried into the woods beside the road.
Rosen was still a little weak, but he didn't have any burden on him, and Anne would wait for him from time to time, so he barely followed Anne.
The two of them ran wildly through the woods.
On the way, Anne used the outstanding senses of a mutant stalker to catch 3 sika deer and 1 lone wolf. The wild animals were frightened, and after being infected with blood, they desperately fled from Anne, and disappeared in a few clicks.
After letting go of the last lone wolf, Anne breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "We should be safe now, right?" ”
Rosen was already exhausted, he gasped for breath, and after half a minute, he shook his head at Anne: "Although these animals are running fast, it is now big night, and when they are frightened, they will stop when they run to what they think is safe, so they can't run far...... In my estimation, our real safety time should be only 3 hours. After that, if you don't continue to lay out the bait, you may be found by vampires at any time. ”
Anne immediately said, "Then let's continue!" ”
Rosen waved his hand again and again: "No, no, no, I can't." If I run any longer, I'll be exhausted, and I need to rest. ”
"I'll carry you on my back!"
With that, Anne came over and forcibly carried Rosen on her back.
Rosen hurriedly reached out and patted Anne on the shoulder: "No, you can let me go quickly." I'll tell you, it's not a way to run like this. I'm not in good health, you're also seriously injured, and if you keep running, you'll always be exhausted. The amount of bait is just a matter of dying early and dying late. ”
Anne heard something and half-turned her head to look at Rosen on her back: "Do you still have a way?" ”
"There is a way, but you must rest first, my current body has no energy to do anything."
