Chapter 204: The Beginning of the Infinite Chain

"Ciri, it's okay...... Let me go first......"

After two comas in a row, Geralt felt a dull pain in his head, and it became more and more painful, until finally it was so severe that it seemed like his skull was about to crack.

He knew that this was his body's load to the limit, after all, he had taken a large amount of various alchemy potions and decoctions during this time, although he had been facing all kinds of enemies and difficulties, and he had survived the danger unharmed.

Whether it's a griffon, a daytime wraith, a bandit deserter, or a wild hunt...... Anyway, whether it was a human enemy or a non-human race, he defeated each other one by one without encountering any mortal danger.

But this also led to the accumulation of a large amount of decoction toxins in his body in a short period of time, approaching the limit of the load.

Although the physical fitness of the demon hunter is different from ordinary people, the immune system has also been strengthened by the grass trial, and it also has extremely high toxicity resistance, and can casually drink some alchemy potions that can easily kill ordinary people, but there is also a limit but not an unlimited limit.

He may have been able to hold it up before, but the impact of time travel became the last straw.

"So, you need white honey now, right?"

After putting Geralt down, the gray-haired woman with sweaty head said a little breathlessly, and after hearing Geralt tell the reason, she immediately made the right judgment.

After all, the Witcher's training must include the most basic alchemy, which will give them how to boil powerful potions, sword oil, and bombs, and will also give them the upper hand when fighting powerful and fast enemies.

Because "never underestimate your opponent" is the core rule of the Witcher's Codex.

So the witcher, if not a doctor, is half an herbalist. Using different alchemy potions to improve their abilities is almost a necessary skill for their group, whether it is the cat school, the wolf school, or other schools.

Of course, for demon hunters of different schools, because of the different inheritance of knowledge, the alchemy recipes mastered are also very different, but there are two alchemy formulas that all demon hunters must keep in mind, namely "cat potion" and "white honey".

Cat potions can provide dark vision in the dark, while white honey can neutralize the toxicity of various decoctions, remove the damage caused by the accumulation of toxins to the body of the witcher, and also "protect the eyesight".

Although Ciri is not a real witcher, she did not accept the grass trial that would cause her to lose her fertility, but only followed the ancient traditional way of witchers for physical fitness and swordsmanship, but the relevant knowledge learning has not been left behind, so the skill points of the witcher are not low.

"I only have strong alcohol in my medicine cabinet now, and I am missing several materials...... I haven't had time to collect these things in the past few days. ā€

Geralt felt as if his body was on fire, gasping for air.

He was like this, panting while holding the silver sword in his hand, and slashed several living corpses that pounced on him!

The speed and strength of the performance are extremely high, and it seems that his physical fitness and athleticism have suddenly risen several steps, but this does not change the cruel fact that his current state is deteriorating further.

And Ciri is also very aware of this, the toxins of the decoction do not make the witcher appear weak, in fact, it is often the opposite.

It's just that they are in such a state, it is as if they are overdrawing the source of their vitality, and they are simply returning to the light.

Obviously, I can't breathe while panting, and the red light on my face makes people feel uncomfortable when they look at it, as if they will lose their breath at any time.

But on the other side, their physical functions such as strength, speed, explosiveness, etc., have reached a new peak.

The incredible level of increase made it possible for them to definitely hit three of their former selves at a time...... So much so that some demon hunters often choose to take risks when facing particularly dangerous enemies, allowing themselves to take the initiative to fall into such a state and do things to survive in death.

"This is supposed to be Virgin City...... We may be able to see if there are any remaining herbs in some pharmacies. ā€

Ciri and Geralt, who is in a strange state, fight and retreat among the corpses, trying to discern the ruined city and confirm that it is indeed the destroyed city of Virgin.

It was once the capital of the northern kingdom of Temeria, a city located on the shores of Lake Vigema.

Despite being destroyed, many of the familiar silhouettes were faintly recognizable, and the roads beneath her feet were paved with clean cobblestones, and the dense array of brick buildings on both sides of the narrow streets seemed to prove that this was Virgin's trading area.

That is, the area where the capital gathers all kinds of elites to live, and the nobles, wealthy merchants, warlocks, and other upper classes have settled here.

However, now that the city is history, the inhabitants of the city, whether they are powerful or poor, whether they are humans or non-human races such as elves and dwarves, no longer exist.

There is only one community left, the undead!

After all, no matter what race you were in life, you are just an undead soul when you die.

The conflict between the Flame Rose Knights and the Squirrel Party no longer exists, nor does the antagonism between the rich and powerful and the exploited poor...... It seems that the contradictions at the national level and even at the civilization level have been eliminated all at once.

It is ironic that the gap between the rich and the poor and the problem of class antagonism can be eliminated in this way.

"Don't go near the roadside drains, I remember Vigema's sewers were full of water spirits and drowning necromancers, and even powerful batwing demons......"

Ciri seemed to remember something, so she reminded her.

"If they're gone, it's only going to get worse, because something more troublesome has to take over the sewers......"

She was no stranger to ruined cities full of walking dead, and for years after the end of the world, she often lived and died, struggling and fighting.

However, the witcher was brought directly into this scene, and she was a little worried that the other party would not be able to accept such an absurd reality, and the other party's current state was not quite right.

"I—I know......" Geralt replied, gasping. He vaguely guessed why Ciri was so skilled, but this was really not the time to get to the bottom of it.

He felt as if his body was burning violently, all of which had been burned through, and the flames that burned were extremely violent, and the heat released was so strong that he could barely breathe, as if every breath of air was burning his life force.

But it feels like it, he knows very well that he won't die like this, and he won't say that in a short period of time, he will quickly burn and overdraw a lot of life force.

Of course, if he continues like this, he may not be able to do so, so he needs to prepare a white honey potion as soon as possible to neutralize the excessive amount of decoction toxins accumulated in his body, so as to truly solve the current crisis.

Low, hoarse, chilling roars rang out, and the ruined city seemed to have been burned out, many buildings had collapsed, and the few remaining parts were empty without any people.

The only ones left were the living corpses, roaming the streets between the ruins, not receiving any orders, so they only acted instinctively, acting out of hatred for the breath of the living.

It can be said that this is simply a magical otherworldly version of Raccoon City, considering that everything is caused by the plague, so it is not too much to say that it is Resident Evil.

The father and daughter were lucky, and they only encountered the lowest living corpses and skeleton soldiers.

And although they are extremely numerous, they do not receive any instructions, nor do they put on the template of the reincarnation, so they have no wisdom and ego, and simply follow their instincts.

So it's just a plate of loose sand.

The pressure on the two of them is not too great, as long as they quickly and covertly clean up these low-level undead in the vicinity, the undead in other places that are far away will not take the initiative to gather over, unless it is an unconscious wandering in this direction.

And the reason why they are lucky is that they actually found a shop selling medicinal herbs in this destroyed city.

Among the many burned buildings, the shops were not only well preserved, but also had a lot of useful medicinal materials left, and the two of them searched carefully, and they had enough raw materials to make the white honey potion.

……

……

Geralt meditated quietly in the room, using this technique to adjust his state and combat the abnormalities in his body, and his face had begun to change visibly, showing an unnatural paleness.

And the blood vessels became clearly visible, and the circles around the eyes were covered with black marks...... It looks hideous.

Ciri, on the other hand, is on a vigilant mission in the outhouse, concocting a potion of white honey for the witcher.

While nervously paying attention to the movement on the street outside, she used strong alcohol as an alchemy base and added herbs to mix the potion.

Boiling decoctions, or alchemical potions, is a troublesome process, which requires careful calculation of the amount and combination of raw materials, accurately grasping every reaction and change in the process, and mastering the correct order and timing of adding materials......

To put it mildly, even cooking doesn't mean that you can succeed by putting ingredients and condiments in the pot in one go.

Not to mention that it's better than cooking, I obviously don't know how advanced alchemy is. So it's obvious that Geralt isn't in the right place to do this job, and if he's alone, he can't do it, but now he has teammates.

Finally had a chance to catch her breath, but Ciri was a little calm, she didn't think it was safe now, but had a premonition that the road ahead was getting more and more dangerous.

And although it was not revealed, the results of two consecutive time and space travel happened to fall in her original world and the approaching time period, which is enough to show that she doesn't have that control at all!

Or rather, she didn't try to control it at all during these two activations.

But it was as if a huge whirlpool had appeared in the ocean, and the terrible suction force had forcibly pulled her and swept her into it. Every time she activates her abilities, it's like she swims out, but it's never possible to resist the supreme pull force......
