Chapter 157: The Night Is Cold

With the addition of Xia and the others, the treatment in the cabin became faster, which greatly reduced the pressure on a certain Jerry ship doctor. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Soon, after more than an hour, almost everyone who was injured had received basic medical treatment, and although it would not heal, at least their injuries were contained so that they would not die as their injuries worsened or worsened.

Among all of them, the one who has the most credit for the treatment is not Dr. Jerry, nor Xia, nor Mary Anjeka and Trea Kukukl, two veteran mercenaries who are very good at treating external injuries, but a certain traveler girl who has mastered the power of a special bloodline!

In fact, there is not much reserve of hemostatic medicine on the magic skyship, which is not enough to provide it to all the injured and bleeding people, and if it were not for the special bloodline power of this two-ponytail girl's liquid perception and control, I am afraid that many injured passengers would have died due to lack of timely treatment and excessive blood loss...... So, speaking of which, Claire Pandams, the girl with a double ponytail, was the one who was the hero of this treatment, and after the incident, almost all the passengers looked at the girl with a grateful look and kept saying thank you for her help.

Claire Pandams, however, smiled a little shyly, wrapping her hand around the ponytail hanging down on her right, pinching and fiddling with it, and blushing in response to the men's thanks and gratitude, as if she was a little embarrassed.

Her response to show kindness without asking for anything in return was even more praised by the passengers.

It's night.

On the side next to the place where the Magic Skyship fell, a certain Captain Rip led someone to clear a relatively flat and open area, and used some dry branches picked up from nearby as firewood to set up a bonfire and light it so that everyone could keep warm in the cold night.

However, the branches didn't seem to be dry enough, and as they burned, they always emitted puffs of pale cyan smoke, crackling sounds, and a slight choking smell.

In this regard, everyone could only silently endure this uncomfortable feeling, and they sat together around the campfire, and the atmosphere was slightly silent.

After a simple count, there are now only nine people left in the crew of the original Demon Sky Boat, and three of them are seriously injured, losing their basic mobility, and they still need to be taken care of. In terms of passengers, the original number was a total of thirty-two people, except for Xia and her party, there were four unlucky people who died in the fall and collision of the magic airboat because of bad luck, in addition, there were nine people who were seriously injured, and the remaining ten people were slightly injured, which did not affect their ability to move, and even, there were three lucky people who were uninjured and jumped around.

I have to say that this is a very fortunate result, after all, the magic skyship fell from a great place, and in the end, so many people survived, they should undoubtedly pray to some great holy lord for its selfless protection.

However, this is unfortunate.

Because, the place they are in now is the extremely dangerous Shidar Forest, even if it is only its edge area, but it is also not to be taken lightly!

In terms of materials, they don't need to worry too much about food and drinking water, and although they lost a small part of the magic skyship when it fell, as long as they can use it sparingly, the remaining supplies are enough to support them in the forest for several days, which is not a big problem. What really threatens everyone's lives is the danger that comes from all sides of this forest!

Needless to say, those powerful and ferocious beasts are naturally very dangerous, and many of its things are very dangerous here in the Shidar Forest, and they are even highly poisonous everywhere. If you're not cautious enough to get bitten by an unsightly bug, or scratched by a common plant passing by, you're likely to lose your life!

“...... So, if you don't have to, you'd better not walk around the Shidar Forest or stay away from the crowds, and for your safety, I recommend staying in the Magic Skyship!"

Standing next to the campfire, a certain Captain Rip spoke, he told everyone about some things that needed special attention in the forest, and repeatedly warned the passengers: "Rest assured, everyone, we will definitely survive! Although our magic skyship crashed here, I have already sent a distress signal, please believe that someone will come to rescue us, at most three or two days, they will soon find this place......

Seeing that the atmosphere was rather dreary, Captain Rip assured them of the same, and repeatedly cheered them up, speaking to them in a tone that seemed to be very confident in it.

“......”

Xia glanced up at this guy who was talking nonsense with his eyes open, but she knew the truth.

Because, soon after the treatment was over, she went to the captain of Rip and asked him if there was any way to contact the outside world and inform him of the situation here, but she remembered it clearly, when the captain shook his head at her in frustration, and did not hide it, saying that he had no way to contact the outside world, and could only wait quietly for the other magic skyships passing by this route. Or the Demon Sky Boat Chamber of Commerce found out about the disappearance of this magic sky boat, and then sent someone to find them, but there was nothing else he could do.

The current situation of everyone is undoubtedly like falling on some isolated island, and all around them are an endless ocean, full of dangers and reefs.

They can only wait for a passing ship to find themselves, or wait for someone who might know to come to their rescue.

At this moment, Captain Rip said that he had sent a distress signal to ensure that someone would come to their rescue soon, but in fact, it was nothing more than a white lie on his part, in order not to let the people who had been hit despair about their future!

Sure enough, after hearing the promise of the captain of the magic airship, the passengers were reluctantly reinvigorated, and seemed to be re-injected with the light of hope. They sat around the campfire, and the atmosphere was no longer shrouded in sorrow and disappointment, and although it was still a gloomy and misty appearance, it gradually became lively, and soon the people in the same predicament began to talk to each other in low voices.

"Captain Rip, you said before that we would have been able to fly through this Shidar Forest in one more day?"

After sitting for a while, Natsu stood up, walked over to a certain captain, and asked him in a low voice.

Judging by the slow flight speed of the magic spaceship, she had reason to believe that even with her legs, it wouldn't take long for her to get out of this forest.

"Yes, Dear Miss Xia, if we hadn't encountered this group of damn thorny crows, we would have been able to fly out of this dangerous Shidar Forest route area in the early hours of tomorrow morning!"

At this time, Captain Rip also knew Xia's name, and even, he knew that the two powerful mercenaries beside her were protecting her all the way, and at this point, the captain could understand that Xia's identity was extraordinary, and naturally respected her very much.

Moreover, in the previous attack of the thorn crow, he also escaped because of Xia's reminder, this life-saving grace, he will naturally have kindness to this beautiful girl, not to mention, Xia also has a powerful and expensive firearm in his hand, this Captain Rip naturally attaches much more importance to her than others.

Seeing that Captain Rip was sure of this, Xia nodded and asked him again, "So, according to the previous flight route, which direction should we go before we can leave this forest?"

"Which direction?"

Hearing Xia's words, Captain Rip was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed: "Miss Xia, do you want to...?"

From this inquiry, the captain seemed to sense something, and his tone became hesitant.

"Yes, Captain Rip. ”

Seeing the change in his expression, Xia also knew that the other party understood her plan, she didn't deny it, and nodded: "Actually, I have very important things to do when I go to the Kingdom of Prorentina, and I can't waste too much time staying here or waiting for rescue, so I want to leave this Shidar Forest as soon as possible, even if it's by walking!"

Her tone was firm, and from this sentence, a certain Captain Rip could hear her determination on the matter.

"So, Miss Mary and Mr. Trea too...?"

Captain Rip hesitated, and he looked like he wanted to say something, and finally asked her again.

"Well, yes, Mary Anjka and Trea Kukukel will be leaving with me. ”

Xia heard the meaning of the captain's words, and she nodded in affirmation.

"That's... What about Miss Claire, is she going with you too?"

Remembering the important role a certain Traveler Girl had played in her healing, Captain Rip's expression became even more embarrassed, and he turned his head to look in the direction of a certain girl with two ponytails.

"Rest assured, Captain Rip, Miss Claire has known us for a short time, and presumably she won't be leaving with us. ”

Xia naturally knew what the captain was worried about, and shook his head in denial. Because, if a girl with two ponytails leaves, if any accident happens to the injured passengers, I'm afraid that a certain Dr. Jerry will feel helpless, after all, the medicine reserves of the magic airship are not enough to support such a large number of injured people.

"Ahem, please forgive me for not being able to promise you, Miss Xia!"

Captain Rip's expression was very troubled, and he looked around, his eyes fell on the other passengers beside the campfire, and he gritted his teeth, and said to her, "You know, the Shidar Forest is more dangerous than you think, and if you leave so rashly, I am afraid that there will be ...... So, I would prefer that you and your two companions will stay here and wait with us for rescue......"

"This ......"

Xia frowned, obviously not satisfied with the other party's answer: "Please don't worry, Captain Rip! I believe in the strength of me and my two mercenary guards, after all, this is only the edge of the Shidar Forest, even if there will be danger, but I think we can still make it out successfully." ”

"Alas...... I'll just say it, Miss Xia!"

Seeing that she still insisted on leaving, Captain Rip seemed to have finally made up his mind, he sighed, and even the rough voice was lowered a lot: "Now the situation here, you also know, there are too many injured people, and they are all ordinary people...... Yes, I'm well aware of the strength of you and those two mercenaries, and I know that you do have a good chance of leaving this damn Shidar Forest without any problems, but ......"

As he spoke, the captain's expression became extremely bad, his mouth seemed to have a bitter fruit in his mouth, his two thick eyebrows were about to be entangled, and his face was bitter: "Actually, I'm more worried about our side! The Shidar Forest is too dangerous, if the most powerful of you leave like this, then we won't have any security here...... As you can see, the magic sky ship has been destroyed, and the ballista on it is estimated that it will not be used, and we are just some ordinary people without bloodline power, just me and my subordinates, and we don't have enough weapons, if there are any magical beasts...... No, even if it's not a demonic beast, it's just some ferocious and hungry beasts, as long as they come and attack, I'm afraid we won't be able to resist it!"

Captain Rip raised his head and looked directly into Xia's eyes, as if he was very worried that the situation he said would appear, and his tone became very serious: "Miss Xia, if you leave like this, I'm afraid, our side won't be able to support it for a few days...... Quite possibly, everyone here will die before the rescuers arrive!"

"So, Miss Xia, I really hope that you can stay!"

With his knowledge of the Shidar Forest, Captain Rip seemed to be very sure of his own inference, so he looked at Natsu almost with a pleading gaze, trying to stop her from leaving.

“......”

Faced with the captain's plea, Xia couldn't help but be silent, and was in a dilemma for a while.

You know, her soul is in a terrible state and is in danger of breaking apart at any moment, so she must rush to Campedara in the Kingdom of Florence as soon as possible to seek the help of the legendary mage.

However, the accident encountered by the magic airship caused her to fall into this dangerous Shidar forest, and the original trip was delayed, so she could only delay the time, and she did not know when she would be able to wait for the rescuer to appear.

She and the two mercenaries, Marie Anjeka and Trea Kukukir, originally had enough strength to leave the area on the edge of the Shidar Forest, and they could choose to continue to the Kingdom of Prorentina by walking, and after getting out of the forest, the group could also change to the way of riding horses, which was not much slower than taking the magic skyship. However, the other people on the magic airship couldn't leave with them, and the number of wounded was just a little bit, and the average strength was also one of the reasons. And if they leave, all the rest of them who have lost their safety are likely to lose their lives because of the danger that comes next......

"I ......"

Looking at the sincere eyes of this Captain Rip, Xia finally failed to give up on these people, and finally, she sighed: "Okay, I'll stay." ”

Even if these people only met her in the water, and they were on the same magic sky boat as her by chance, how could she sit back and watch them die in despair because she chose to leave?

At this time, she can only hope that those rescuers will arrive soon.
