Divine Radiance is a power that can only be used by a true priest, and it is also a proof of a priest's identity.

It is said that devout believers form a bond with the gods, and the celestial dome receives the radiance of the gods and spreads them on the earth, which is called the Holy Radiance, an incredible healing technique that goes far beyond the effects of medicinal herbs.

This was also the first time that Hodge really saw the Holy Radiance in action, Fink's palm gradually became bright and transparent, like the light of day, fragments appeared in the light, gently floating towards the guard's wound, the moment it touched the skin, the light of the Holy Radiance fragments was even worse, when the dazzling light calmed down, there was no trace of any wound on the back of the guard's hand.

It's like nothing happened.

It's just—the fine words are still there, slowly spreading to the arm.

"Thank you, Reverend. The guard moved his wrist happily, the previous pain was gone, and although it was still a little itchy, it was supposed to be a side effect of the short-term wound healing, and he didn't take it seriously.

But the strange words didn't go away. Fink looked worriedly at the back of his hand.

The guard waved his hand indifferently, showing his white teeth, "It's okay, maybe it was just a trick to deceive people, I'm feeling good now." ”

......

They retreated to the camp, and at Hodge's suggestion, the area of camp was reduced again, and Carol, who had been far away, moved closer to the campfire.

"Hell, what the hell is that. Hughes kicked the snow under his feet in exasperation, haunting the battle that had just taken place.

"Obviously it's an earthworm, but it's also obvious that it's not going to grow that big or react so quickly. Hodge turned his head to Fink, "Have you seen that?" ”

Fink shook his head: "Neither reptile books nor Warcraft encyclopedias have ever recorded such a giant earthworm, and we don't know anything about this creature. ”

"So we're going to sit around like this, and wait for that monster to stab us one by one, like the guard in the car?" Hughes was now in a state of irritation, "We've got two dead on our team, two! We've only seen the monster before, and we don't even know what it is!"

"yes, two dead. Hodge scoffed, "That's why I warned you from the beginning that it would be best not to go on this expedition." ”

"Are you finding fault, civilian!" Hughes became a little out of control, and pulled the broadsword out of his scabbard.

"Calm down, my friend. Fink began, "Two people have died, don't let that number increase again." ”

Hughes held the broadsword, breathing heavily, his eyes constantly wandering over Hodge and Fink, and finally threw the broadsword on the ground in anger, turned around and kicked the snow fiercely.

Hodge shook his head and looked at Fink, "Pastor Fink, do you think this giant earthworm still retains the characteristics of an earthworm?"

Fink thought for a moment, "Maybe there is, maybe not, all we know is that its size and speed have changed, and it's hard to say if there are any other changes." ”

"We also know that it still lives in the soil and still moves like an earthworm in the morning. "If their habits hadn't changed, maybe we would have been able to grasp the conditions under which it would have appeared, or even go further." ”

"You mean?"

Hodge nodded: "Yes, it's-"

"Ahhh

Everyone ran to the sound, only to see the two guards patrolling the edge of the tent, the wounded man curled up on the ground, his left hand clutching at the back of his right hand and screaming.

His companion, another guard, grabbed his arm and tried to stop him, but to no avail, the pain caused the injured guard to burst out of latent strength, and he was quickly thrown to the ground to the side.

Hodge immediately said to Hughes, "Help hold him, I'm going to look at his wounds." ”

Hughes jumped up, his arm ran through the guard's armpit, his feet stepped on the guard's feet, and he was fixed in place, the knight's strength was enough for him to suppress the guard's crazy movements, seeing that his hands were still waving, he frowned, his hands pulled back, and with a click, the guard's hands softened weakly and were already dislocated.

Before Hodge could say a polite word of thanks, he took out the knife that had been with him for years from his boot with a solemn face, cut the connecting wires of the guard's armor one by one, and then slit the arm of his cotton undershirt.

At this time, the thin text had almost jumped to his shoulder, and the words on his palm and forearm had disappeared.

"Damn it!" Hodge scolded, righting the guard's head, "Tell me how you feel right now." ”

"Ahh

Hodge threw up his hand and slapped him hard, yelling at him, "Tell me, how you feel right now!"

"Ahh

"Does it hurt? Is it your face? Did I hit you in the face?"

"Hmm-no-no-back-back-sore hand!"

Hodge's mood grew heavier, and Fink's face was not good-looking.

"It seems that my previous guess was correct. He said with a gloomy face, "These words are what cause the phantom pain." ”

"That can't be delayed any longer, and we should cut it off immediately before the words spread throughout our bodies. Fink said.

"I'll do it, can you use the Holy Radiance Technique to heal his wounds again?"

"No, that wound is too big, and with my ability, the Holy Radiance can't heal a large area. ”

"Then you go and dispense hemostatic medicine and wound medicine, there are medicinal herbs in my medicine cabinet. ”

Fink nodded, and asked again, "What about the analgesics?"

Hodge wiped the cold sweat on his forehead: "This kind of foot trader in a small village can't sell poppies, not to mention that it's too late." ”

The guard understood what the two of them were saying, and writhed vigorously, pleading with a pleading face: "Don't, please, don't do that!"

"Miss Carroll, can you help me find a sturdy twig for him to bite on? ”

"There's no need to be so troublesome. Hughes threw his head back and slammed into the guard, who fainted in an instant, "Look, it's more effective than poppy milk." ”

"Help me hold down this position, yes, hold it down and don't let go. Hodge miraculously focused, cut the epidermis of the arm with a knife, and after processing the blood vessels in the amputated position, he borrowed Hughes's broadsword to completely break the bone.
