Chapter 55: Night Talk
There was a group of thighs in front of him, but unfortunately he couldn't hold it, and Joel inevitably felt a little regretful in his heart.
The rain was noisy outside, and Joel was thinking about the future of the team after Vince's serious injury, and he was inevitably a little depressed in his heart, and he didn't speak for a while. Minaki on the other side, because there is not much space in the cave, climbed directly over to see the situation of Wens, who was sleeping next to Joel.
"How's he doing?"
Joel had mixed feelings in his heart, but he still didn't dare to snub the young and beautiful guy in front of him.
Minaki examined several of the heavier wounds on Vins's body very gently, sighed and said, "His injuries are too serious, although I have roughly healed the flesh wounds on his body, but there is no good way to do it with three broken bones." ”
Three fractures! Even if he was mentally prepared, Joel's heart would inevitably sink hard! His own injuries had not fully recovered, and now Vince was even more injured!
Joel's tone was a little heavy, "Which three?"
Minaki packed up Vins's clothes, sat back down and said, "Two on the right hand and one on the left rib." You've all only suffered some minor injuries, but the most important thing is that your spiritual energy has dried up, how could he be so badly injured?"
Joel glanced at Vins, who was still asleep, and his old friend was sleeping peacefully, as if it was a good dream.
"He said he could entangle one goat-headed demon and let us deal with the other quickly. He did, and we ......"
In the end, Joel only let out a deep sigh.
"Is it so powerful?" Minaki's mouth opened into an "O" shape in the dim light of the fire, and his face was incredible, "Even Lowe said that those sheep-headed demons are very good at hand-to-hand combat, and can only use magic to fight them from a distance!"
Joel smiled bitterly and said, "That's true, but our strength is so bad that we can't contain it with magic. ”
"Why do you have to go to the rescue when it's so bad?" Minaki said straightforwardly, and asked Joel a very embarrassing question.
The corners of Joel's mouth twitched, but he replied with a smile: "The sheep-headed demon will be invisible, and it will not be detected at all from a distance. Our plan at that time was to help them retreat, but we didn't expect that after joining the battlefield, we would not be able to retreat at all, so we could only fight head-on. ”
"That's right...... Then you really do bad things with good intentions. Minaki said and giggled again.
Joel was breathing and didn't know what to say. At that time, the person who decided to help Ikar's gang seemed to be himself.
A bad decision that left the team almost in a desperate situation. Is such a self really suitable to be Vins's teammate?
Minaki saw that Joel's face on the other side suddenly became gloomy, and knew that he had said something he shouldn't have said again, so he quietly stuck out his tongue and said, "You can rest quickly! It's past two o'clock in the middle of the night, and tomorrow the rain will stop and continue to rush deeper!"
Joel nodded, and Minaki got up and walked into the depths of the cave.
Joel's side was as quiet as ever, except for the sound of dripping raindrops tapping on the leaves, slowly blowing in with the cold wind through the hole.
Joel sat still, staring at the dark hole, sleepless, his thoughts drifting in no direction.
"Don't worry too much, Joel. Suddenly, another man's voice sounded in the cave.
Joel turned his head sideways to see that Vince had woken up at some point.
Vince lay on the ground, a sickly flush on his face, his eyes misty, but his tone remained firm: "Because of your decision, we saved the lives of three people. I don't know, Mr. Collis, but at least Titch and I don't have any regrets. ”
Joel turned his head sideways, unwilling to face Vince's sick face, and he whispered, "Even if we don't go, Minaki and they can complete the rescue on their own." ”
Vince barely managed to squeeze out a smile and said, "Don't underestimate yourself, Joel." If we don't go, how will Sirion and Wickz make it to Minaki and them arrive?"
"That being said, but what is next? You are seriously wounded, Titch and I are lightly wounded, and Mr. Colliss is very old...... I thought it would be no problem for our team to get out alive, but now, alas, ......"
"Don't worry," Wence patted Joel encouragingly, "there's always a way." ”
But Joel didn't want to bother Vins even more, so he squeezed out a smile and said, "Then let's take one step at a time, and get a good night's sleep tonight!"
"Yes! That's it!" said Vince, smiling with relief.
Joel stopped sitting in a daze and slept next to Vince with his head in his hands.
"Isn't there anything you want to ask me?"
Vince is not an unkind person, and he knows how much pressure his friends are being put on by his leaps and bounds. It's just that Colis has been by the side of the three of them for the past two days, and it is inconvenient for him to say a lot of things, so as not to cause any unnecessary misunderstandings. Now that everyone was asleep, he took the initiative to bring up the topic, so as not to embarrass Joel, who was so strong and irritable.
"Yes, why are you so fierce all of a sudden?!" Now that Vince took the initiative to bring it up, Joel was not ambiguous and immediately asked.
"What do you mean?"
Joel gave Vince a fierce look and said, "Your swordsmanship, no, it should be swordsmanship now, why is it improving so fast? Why did you suddenly become Mr. Sothke's apprentice? Also, why is your ability already comparable to a three-star warrior?"
"That's a lot of questions...... "Wince put his arms on his pillow, thought about it carefully, and said, "My fighting skills haven't actually improved, but I have an extra ability to predict." ”
"Foresight?!"
"Yes, you can predict the opponent's next move when you are fighting. That's why I've been able to find my opponent's weakness, and it's with my ability of foreknowledge that I've been able to keep entanglement with that sheep-headed demon. ”
"What about your abilities? What's going on? Why are you suddenly able to fight hard with the fighters of the three stars without falling behind?"
Vins glanced at Joel, who looked unwilling, and said in a calm tone: "You may not believe it when you say it, I have changed." ”
"What ?!!"
Joel was startled and sat up instantly!
"Sleep, sleep. Don't make a fuss. How crazy am I going to be to talk to you here?" Wince smiled helplessly, and pulled Joel back to his sleeping position.
"How could you...... When did you notice your mutation? Are you sure?" Joel's head buzzed, and he said for a moment
Words are not well organized.
"I don't know when I was mutated, or if Mr. Soske noticed that my psionic energy had turned silvery white, and that's when he realized that I had changed. However, although it was an anomaly, Mr. Southke's teacher told me that it should have no effect on my sanity and that I could live a normal life. After coming to the Demon Mist Forest this time, I found that my ability level had improved by a notch, which should be inseparable from my mutation. ”
"By the way," Vince smiled mysteriously, "not only has the ability of physical enhancement been enhanced, but my petrified skin has also been enhanced. ”
"What augmentation?"
"My petrification seems to be lifted in an instant!"
Joel looked at Vins in a daze, feeling for the first time the great malice of life towards the non-chieftain.
Even mutations can be mutated to strengthen their own attributes, what kind of luck does this have to be to do this?!
"Where did you get your ability to precognition? Can you introduce it to me? I'm about to become the most useless of our team right now. ”
Vince glanced at Joel inexplicably and said, "You're a mage, what's the use of having the ability to predict?"
Joel was stunned again, and there seemed to be a hint of truth to what Vince said.
This prophetic ability and mutation seem to be tailor-made for the warrior of Vins, and he can't get any light on himself!
Joel lay on the ground, turned his back, and began to be in a state of autism.
Vince was amused and said, "Haha, don't be angry. Everyone has their own chances, so don't just stare at me!"
"It's hard to say if you can meet others once in three lifetimes, and you were accepted as an apprentice by Mr. Sosk. Alas, I just hope that Big Brother Vince will be on the rise in the future, and that he will remember my old friend who was hunting in Cariton!"
Vins chuckled and patted his friend on the shoulder, and said, "Don't sulk, sleep, tomorrow Minaki and they are gone, and we will have to face all kinds of dangers ourselves." ”
Joel nodded with his back to Vins and fell asleep quietly.
Outside the cave, the endless rain is still watering the vast forest.
......
"Vins, wake up, it's time to go!"
Early in the morning, Vins, who was still asleep, was woken up by Titch. Sleepy-eyed, he got up and yawned, and found that everyone around him was ready to go.
The rain was still falling outside the cave.
"Well, your raincoat, I'll help you find it. Titch tossed one raincoat to Vins and began to put on the other.
Vince tried to move his body and took a breath of cold air with a "hiss".
The wounds on his body were painful, especially the fractures.
Joel glanced at Vince and asked Minaki, who was checking the rain outside the cave, "Doesn't he need to do anything about his fracture?"
Without waiting for Minaki to speak, a gentle-looking man, but unfortunately without much hair, came out of the cave, and took over with a smile: "Don't worry at all, Minaki's healing magic is at the top level." As long as he doesn't mess around lately, he'll be fine right away!"
"Hawke, you're talking nonsense!" Minaki glanced at the man with sparse hair and said, "I only have healing magic, no medicine." His injuries can only be treated temporarily, and it will take at least half a month to recover his combat ability. ”
Joel's injuries were also severe, but with Teach's careful care and medication, and the fact that he wasn't a fighter who needed to fight in close combat, it didn't seem like a major problem right now. Vance is a very different story.
Hawk laughed, didn't care, and said to Vins, "I don't know what your name is, so let's introduce myself." ”
"Vince Griffin, Darkmoon's hunting assistant, please take care of the seniors in the future. "Wens, who eavesdropped on Joel and Minaki's conversation last night, certainly knows the identities of the other group.
"Hmm, our guild's hunting assistants can all fight the sheep-headed demon head-on, it's really promising! Work hard, I have a hunch that we will be colleagues in the future!"
