Chapter 41: The Cursed Sword and the Elixir Potion
"The torch here is also set!" There was also good news from the other side of the camp, and then someone rushed to that side, stabilizing the first wave of counterattacks after the torch was set up.
However, a little farther away, the demonic beasts were still frantically attacking the humans, and only a few adventurers were defending that position, and it was in danger.
Van Lee noticed a weak point in the defensive line and was about to go over to help. At this time, someone rushed over one step ahead.
The golden figure brazenly broke out of the defensive circle and plunged headlong into the group of demonic beasts. Aiolos smiled brightly and drew the sword at his waist.
"Show us our strength, partner!" Handsome blonde man holding his sword high.
In an instant, the already radiant sword shone even more golden, like an artifact with endless power.
"Ahh Aiolos screamed, swinging down as if with all his might.
The flashing sword sparked with lightning all the way, showing the boundless power of the blade of thunder and fire that swept through the thousands of armies, and the power of the sword actually swept a large fan-shaped blank area in front of Aiolos. The weaker demonic beasts didn't even leave their corpses behind, and only turned into a puff of charcoal and disappeared with the wind.
Aiolos shook his wrist and threw out a sword flower, and stood in front of the battle with his sword in his hand, looking at the world. The jeweled saber buzzed as if it wasn't finished. In the high-speed tremor, a series of sparks and fine lightning rays were triggered.
"Magic ...... Magic Sword! A shocked exclamation came from behind him, "That's the legendary magic sword!" ”
Aiolos looked back and smiled heartily, "Yes, I told you I was a demon swordsman, right?" But don't worry, although it's called a magic sword, this guy has nothing to do with magic. He patted the hilt of his sword.
Because of the wonderful performance of these people, this huge wave of demonic beasts still couldn't invade the camp for half a step. It lasted until the moon rose, and the army of demonic beasts that left hundreds of corpses seemed to realize the heavy losses, and the instinctive fear in the soul finally returned, and the remnants of demonic beasts turned their heads and fled.
"It would be terrible if they did the same at night." Uncle Guoziface gasped and said, constantly pulling the bow and shooting arrows caused his physical exertion to be serious.
"Something is wrong," Fan Li said, "it's obviously a monster, but it started attacking frantically before sunset, and it only retreated at night because of the heavy losses. However, considering the control of the enemy, it is understandable, presumably they can't fully control the night monsters. ”
Because the casualties this time were a bit large, even if he was anxious, Old Dekker still ordered a night's rest and continued to track the enemy tomorrow.
And knowing that it was not the most important "jewel" that the enemy stole from him, Old Dakker suddenly became relaxed and calm, and he was no longer so eager to hunt down the enemy.
Late at night, after dinner, everyone quickly fell asleep, and today was really a bit tiring. And the recent slaughter has slaughtered a large area of demonic beasts in the surrounding area, so tonight should be as safe as the outskirts of the city - as long as the enemy doesn't launch a sneak attack.
Of course, there must still be people on vigil. Once again, Ling Key and Aeolos volunteered.
Ling Jian continued to read a book over the campfire, and then out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a figure slipping out of the camp.
Even at night, it's golden, and there will be no one else except the handsome guy Aiolos. Recalling the scene he saw in the afternoon, Ling Jian put away his books and quietly followed.
There was a low mound about two hundred meters outside the camp, and the sound of a soo was heard in my ears. Heavy wheezing sounded from the small remaining bushes there, and the occasional moan or two that could not be suppressed. It was Aeolos' voice, as if he was enduring some intense pain.
Ling Key walked around the mound, and Aeolos' pale face came into view.
His eyes were red and bloodshot, his body twisted violently, and moans leaked from his throat from time to time. His mouth gripped the hilt of the sword, trying not to let himself scream. The green tendons on his forehead burst out one by one, his whole body trembled like spasms, and his gorgeous clothes were soaked with sweat.
Ling Jian looked at the scene that happened in front of him, but he didn't have the slightest look of surprise.
Aiolos was a little surprised to see someone coming, but he still struggled to squeeze out a smile: "Hey little brother, it seems that it is a little difficult to remain silent...... Did it make you noisy? ”
"Sword of the Damned." Ling Jian looked at his sword and spat out a noun.
"What a man of knowledge!" Aiolos turned his head and let out a whimpering laugh, his heels rubbing desperately back and forth in the dirt, "Looks like you understand all this." ”
Ling Jian shrugged: "It seems that he hasn't officially introduced himself yet." My name is Ling Key, and I used to be a student of the great master Zhang Wenjie. So I probably know a little more about the Hidden Treasure than the average person. ”
"That's right...... No wonder. ”
"The Sword of Curse is said to have been created by an ancient swordsmith to copy the 'sword', one of the twelve primordial star treasures, but although it succeeded in creating the Star Treasure Treasure, it was not 'that sword', but a magic sword with the power of a curse. Once you hold it and pull it out to fight, then you will never be able to get rid of it again in this life. And then came the maggot-like curse of the tarsal bones – one to three hours a day of intense pain. Although there are no other side effects, it is just a simple pain, but it cannot be eliminated. ”
"Hehe, thank you for such a detailed explanation...... Little brother. ”
Ling Jian was not simply watching the excitement from the side, as he spoke, he took out a test tube from his handbag, which was filled with a coffee-colored solution.
"Try this."
"Huh? Analgesics? Useless...... This kind of thing ......"
Ling Jian still insisted on handing it over: "Don't make a decision so easily. ”
Aiolos shook his head slightly, except for some potions with extremely side effects that could cause significant damage to his body, other regular analgesics could not relieve the pain of the curse at all.
"Don't worry, this is my own configuration, absolutely no side effects." Ling Jian saw the other party's thoughts, and showed a strange smile and persuaded him, "The only drawback is that it will be a little bitter...... Give it a try. ”
Ioros finally took the potion, and he really couldn't stand the pain anymore, so he tried it anyway.
Trembling, he bit the plug and poured the liquid into his mouth and swallowed it.
Then, the man who could still laugh after enduring the pain burst into tears.
"it!" He threw away the test tube in his hand and smashed it to pieces, "What the hell! ”
Sticking out his tongue in embarrassment, retching, tears and snot dripping together.
“…… A little bitter? Aiolos questioned Ling Key, "You call this a little bitter?" ”
The moment he drank the potion, he did not feel pain anymore, because an even worse feeling took over his mind—bitterness, as if he had drunk the yellow lotus juice of an entire river. That terrible feeling that can wake up a dead person!
Truth be told, Aeolos had a hard time deciding whether the pain of the curse or the bitterness of the potion was worse......
Ling Jian looked at the effect with satisfaction: "It looks good, it works." In fact, this medicine is a wound medicine, which can be taken internally and externally, and the effect is excellent and there are no side effects - except that the taste is very bitter. ”
"That's the worst side effect!" Aioros struggled to his feet, "I feel a bitter taste for my breath now!" ”
"So the effect will be long-lasting, long enough to last until your curse is over." Ling Key shrugged, "I still have some here, if you need it......"
"Thank you, I'll continue to endure the pain." Aiolos replied angrily, and then quickly tidied up the clothes on his body, and got a haircut, and soon the handsome golden guy appeared again, "Okay, go back, don't let Fanly worry about them." Next I kept vigil. ”
The two slowly returned to the camp. Despite his struggle, Aeolos eventually took a few of the potions—although he was just as bad for his senses, at least the bitterness didn't affect his mobility...... Probably, right?
