Chapter 154: The Western Boundary of the Great Western Wilderness (Part I)
"That's not right!" When everyone thought that the camp wall had collapsed because of their own reasons, Fei Yun suddenly found that there was a very inconspicuous mark on the collapsed wooden wall, and the faint red mark exuded a faint smell of blood under his nose.
This smell of blood was so faint that if it weren't for a ray of sunlight shining on it, and Fei Yun also happened to see it, and lowered his head to inspect it, it is estimated that Chen Kai and they would not have found it. Looking at the faint bloodstains covered with dust, Fei Yun carefully compared them and found that this trace seemed to be caused by a person's palm pressing on the wall, but in the end it was not able to press down.
"It's a finger print!" Looking at the traces under the dust, Fei Yun said to Chen Kai, and then everyone subconsciously pulled out their weapons. There was no doubt that it was not a good thing that a bloody fingerprint appeared here and caused the wall of the camp to collapse, and the most important thing was that they did not see the injured person at all, which meant that the other party was either hiding or leaving.
Although they were hoping for the latter, the group did not find any footprints in the vicinity, and they did not even know how to touch the camp wall. Under such circumstances, Chen Kai and the others would never think that the other party was friendly, and would only treat him as a potential enemy. So they drew their weapons and guarded the side of the carriage, and at the same time began to move faster to get out of here.
Although this situation does not necessarily mean danger, just in case, everyone chooses to run away without hesitation. It's just that the carriage has only traveled less than a kilometer, and Chen Kai found that there seems to be something more on the road.
"Stop!" Look at the red dots that disappear after being run over by the wheels of a carriage on the road. Quickly slash away with the blade of the greatsword. Looking at the blood mixed in the soil, Chen Kai knew very well that they might have brought a dangerous traveler with them, and everyone quickly pulled out their weapons and leaned towards the carriage.
"It's not easy to sit in this guest's free carriage!" Chen Kai gently tapped on the wheels of the carriage, and at the same time, several elven mages also opened the door and began to sweep under the carriage with their huge spiritual power. Needless to say, the passengers under the carriage had to climb out from under the carriage after being discovered and feeling the spiritual power of the terrifying legendary spellcaster.
"Hello everyone!" Eng Wolf Bèi climbed out from under the carriage, as a paladin of the Temple of Life, he was already quite embarrassed to be like this, but he had no choice but to save his life. In order to get out of the wasteland safely, he didn't even have time to treat his injured arm.
"Paladins of the Temple of Life? Escaping from the Demigods' Fall? Nero Eru had lost her strength, but her eyesight was still very strong, and she almost immediately recognized the emblem of the Temple of Life that Engel was trying to hide. At the same time, I felt the faint smell of sulfur on his body.
"Yes! Dear Legend Strongman! "The so-called people have to bow their heads under the eaves. In the face of a legendary-level spellcaster, Enge chose to confess and be lenient without hesitation, because he knew that what he had on him could not arouse the interest of the other party at all.
"That's it! Let's go! This guy isn't some badass! Nero Aru quickly closed the door to block Enge's view, no doubt she needed to be mysterious enough to keep Enge at bay. After all, she doesn't have much combat power right now. The after-effects of the spell scroll released during the fight against the swamp fishmen are still affecting several elven mages.
"Welcome! Dear Paladin! "Although Enge looks very wolf-bèi. However, since it was Chen Kai, the paladin of the Temple of Life, they would not be so difficult for each other. After all, there are two priests of the Temple of Life among them. It's just that there is no doubt that neither Chen Yi, who is a holy priest, nor Wang Feifei, a high-ranking priest, has nothing to do about Enge's injury, and the wound on the paladin's arm can only be dealt with by himself.
In fact, Enge was also surprised now, he did feel the divine power of the people in the camp. It was because of this that he dared to hide under Chen Kai's carriage. After all, those who belong to the same temple profession will not be embarrassed even if they are discovered. It's just that he didn't expect that there were two priests of the Temple of Life here, and what made him even more embarrassed was that there was a holy sacrifice with the mark of the goddess of life, that is, a reserve saint who had the qualifications to inherit the goddess of life. Let a reserve saint see her embarrassed appearance, and there is no doubt that Enge knows that he is absolutely embarrassed.
So Enge's expression was definitely quite complicated at the moment, and of course he got into the carriage in the end, because he really needed to rest. After all, it was not a good time to flee at night, the fighting energy in his body was completely exhausted, not to mention, and he had a close contact with a wasteland thunder giant eagle that suddenly appeared in the sky before dawn. The result undoubtedly ended in a crushing defeat for him, and the result of the injury was that he did not dare to show his head at all now.
Although the Thunder Eagle defeated Enge, it had no intention of chasing and killing, and if it really wanted to chase Enge, then the injured paladin would not be able to escape. Because at that time, he didn't even have the fighting spirit to maintain his flight, and he fell directly from a high altitude to the ground. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the place where the paladin fell was a lake, then he would definitely not be able to escape the trailing pursuit of the thunder eagle. But it was the lake below that allowed the hapless paladin to survive in the end, only to become more wolfish all over.
When he crawled out of the lake, the Thunder Eagle was busy catching the huge python that rose from the lake, and the size of the python was more in line with the Thunder Eagle's appetite than the smaller Engel. So poor Enge Paladin was spared by the Thunder Eagle, who was not injured much, and even the lightning that fell into the lake made Enge's whole body tremble, and of course made him weaker. It is precisely because of this that Enge was able to hide from the detection of Nero Aru and others and hide under the carriage.
If he is still the strength of a paladin, then it will definitely be as bright as a bonfire in the dark night, and it will be perceived by several legendary mages at the moment of appearance. But because he was in a state of extreme weakness when he touched the edge of the camp. It was not perceived by the elven mages. By all sorts of coincidences, the Enge Paladin, who was hiding in the grass, shrank under the carriage after biting it, and took a free ride.
Of course, he is also hitchhiking now, and he is still sleeping safely in the carriage after treating his injuries. When the rickety carriage came to a halt again, the alert Enge quickly woke up from his sleep, and he tried to hold the hammer next to him, only to find that there was no one with him. Finally, he raised his head and finally found his weapon next to his head, although the weapon stained with the brains of a Sacred Domain powerhouse fell into the lake and was washed by the lake, there were still some residues on it that had not been washed away. After all, Enge's warhammer was not a simple cast piece of iron, but a saint-level weapon engraved with a large number of divine patterns and decorations, although the warhammer was more ornate and difficult to clean. If he still had the strength, then he could just use the Dou Qi to shake the hammer head to remove all the filth, but unfortunately he didn't even have the strength to pick up the war hammer now.
"Awake? Paladin! Chen Kai opened the car door just in time to see Enge wanting to pick up the war hammer beside him. Holding the plate, he smiled warmly and sunnyly at the other party. Enge, whose eyes involuntarily narrowed when he saw the sun, relaxed a little.
"Hello! I'm really sorry for you! Enge slowly got up from his seat, he didn't feel that the chair of the carriage was a little narrow when he fell asleep, but when he woke up, he found that it was really uncomfortable to lie on it, even the carriage seat with the function of space expansion could not be comparable to the bed.
"No trouble! Come down and eat if you can! Lunch is ready. We're going to stay here for about an hour and then continue on our way! Chen Kai didn't ask the other party if he was on the same road as him. Because it was obvious that even if Enge was originally going to the east of the Great Western Wilderness, he could only follow them to the west now. In fact, Enge's only demand now is to leave the Great Western Wilderness as much as possible. That's why he took the risk of forcibly using his flying ability to move west from the place where the demigod fell when he was in very poor physical condition. As for why he didn't go east, because he entered the wasteland from the eastern part of the empire, and if he just got the demigod realm fragment and returned to the east immediately, even if it was because of his injuries, it would arouse suspicion among others. After all, he had already obtained the Domain Seed.
In fact, he was still guarding against Chen Kai and them, but that was before seeing Chen Yi. There is no doubt that Chen Yi, who has the mark of the goddess of life, definitely has an innate advantage in front of the clergy of the temple of life, even if she lies to Enge, Enge will choose to believe it at the first time, this is the effect of having the mark of the goddess of life. This effect is far stronger than Chen Kai's Divine Grace Knight, after all, he is only a Divine Grace Knight, and he is an alternate before he enters the Great Knight realm. Only when Chen Kai truly enters the realm of the Great Knight can he enjoy the treatment of his Divine Grace Knight profession. Even if he became a great knight, it was estimated that he would not be able to get this kind of treatment from Chen Yi, after all, the Divine Grace Knight was only a priest in the Dawn Temple who was favored by the Lord of Dawn, and the Holy Maiden of the Temple of Life was even a candidate for the high-level of the Temple of Life with strong authority.
It's just that Chen Yi's current saintess is only an alternate and a candidate among the alternates, and she has not been recognized by the Temple of Life at all, but she still enjoys the treatment that Chen Kai envies. Because Enge actually saluted Chen Yi during the meal, this kind of treatment is definitely not available to others, and only a few elven mages have received this kind of treatment. In fact, Chen Kai and the others also felt that the aura of several elven mages had changed, and the reason for this situation was undoubtedly the Enge Paladin who appeared here. Because Nero Eru and the others all felt the breath of the fragments of the realm world on Enge's body, although this aura was weakening, that is, it was gradually absorbed by the paladin, but for the caster of the legendary level, even the caster who had lost his power could use his spirit to sense this aura.
After all, when it comes to understanding the fragments of the fallen demigod realm, it is estimated that no one can compare to the elven spellcasters who peeled off the skin and bones of the demigods, and with the successful case of Enge, several elven mages finally began to lay down their heavy burdens and began to prepare to absorb the fragments of the realm world and repair their broken realms. Of course, the first to carry out this repair activity was the elven mage Nelusard, the oldest of the several elven mages, and at the same time the least likely to be promoted to demigod. This taciturn elven mage was even older than Chen Kai and they expected, but because of the younger age at which he became a powerhouse in the Holy Domain, he looked much younger than the middle-aged elf mage Ilian, but in fact, he could be Ilian's grandfather at his age. As a thousand-year-old elf. He had lost the possibility of becoming a demigod, so he took the lead in absorbing a piece of the processed Realm World fragment as a test subject.
Now this elven mage's face was much better, because the hole in his source of magic had been filled, and even the shattered realm world was gradually restored. Although the entire realm is still quite fragile now, in general, it is developing in a good direction, and in less than half a day, the strength of this elven mage has recovered to the eighth-order Cheng dù. At the current rate of recovery, it would only take a few days for him to recover again to the point where the legendary caster, the title Grand Magister, would be restored.
It's just that because a few elven mages are still not sure whether there are any traps imposed by the demigods in the realm world fragments, after all, the terrifying picture is still imprinted in the minds of several elves, so only Nelosl uses the world fragments alone. None of the others, including Nero Elu, used it and slowly waited for observation. After all, as long as there are no problems with an elven mage, it is enough to ensure everyone's temporary safety. And over time, when the magic of this elven spellcaster regained to the level of an archmage. In addition, there were two archmage-level spellcasters in the team of Illian carriages that had recovered from injury.
If you add Engel, the hapless paladin, then there is no doubt that the group's movement through the Great Western Wilderness will be more secure. It's just that Enge's injuries are not light, although the injuries he suffered when he killed Charlov were not serious, but the battle with the Thunder Eagle in the process of escaping for his life made him suffer Yan Zòng's trauma. The claws of the Thunder Eagle were sharper than the claws of the dragon, and with one claw, they directly clawed through Enge's armor, not to mention leaving several deep wounds on his shoulders and back.
This kind of trauma, even with the use of the Fountain of Life, may not be able to recover in a short time. As for the healing techniques of ordinary shrines, it is even more needless to say. It's just useless. After all, Enge is a sanctuary-level being. The effect of ordinary healing magic on the powerhouses of the Sanctuary is simply the same as scum. Enge was also well aware of the depletion of the essence of life by divine magic, so he only used herbs that could speed up wound healing but did not use divine magic to treat himself. After all, he had just seen his hope of becoming a legendary powerhouse, but he didn't want to let this hope be dashed by consuming too much life origin.
So even if the wound was still oozing blood, Enge gritted his teeth and endured it. Until Chen Yi secretly put two drops of the fountain of life in front of him. Looking at the liquid in the cup that exuded a rich breath of life, as a well-informed paladin, how could Enge not understand what this liquid was. At the moment of looking at Chen Yi, everyone could feel the heat in each other's eyes, of course, it was not a heat full of love, but a gaze full of gratitude.
Of course, if it is a loving gaze, then Chen Kai will use his fist to sue the injured Enge what is called his brother's anger. For the bad uncle who beat his sister's idea, he will definitely use his fists to make the other party climb down completely. Similarly, if Chen Kai was a bad uncle, Su Xinghe would also use an iron fist to keep him away from Su Wan.
Drinking the fountain of life that Chen Kai squeezed out and handed to Chen Yi, Enge immediately found that his injuries were slowly recovering. The most important thing is that the Fountain of Life is something that can replenish the source of life, even if it is only two drops that are good for the seriously injured Enge, because it is the only natural elixir that even the gods can drink to restore their injuries. Although it was impossible to completely recover the injured Enge in a short period of time with the effect of the Fountain of Life, at least the wound would not seep blood outward, avoiding the embarrassment of the creatures in the wasteland caused by the smell of blood.
The most important thing is that Chen Yi's actions once again won Enge's favor, if Enge was friendly to Chen Kai before, then now he has risen to thank Chen Yi. Of course, this is not enough to make a paladin feel grateful to you, although his gaze at Chen Yi at that moment was full of gratitude, but it was only for a moment. Of course, it is definitely not Chen Kai's purpose to spend nearly two million to buy the other party's thanks, in fact, they hope to earn more things from Enge's hands.
Needless to say, the two priests' biggest goal was to learn a new healing technique from Enge, and Enge agreed to this request almost without hesitation. After just one meal, the two priests gained new divine skills, which greatly strengthened their healing abilities, and at the same time, Chen Kai and they also received Enge's guidance to improve their fighting spirit and combat skills. For Chen Kai, although they didn't get any powerful skills, just two priests to obtain new healing magic techniques were worth Chen Kai exchanging for two drops of the Fountain of Life. After all, the Fountain of Life is a consumable, and the Divine Art is something that can always grow with the team. (To be continued......)
