Chapter 114: Alienation
Ever since he got the White Feather Shield, Leach has always felt as if the family heirloom black blade has a life, and he has always been worried about this, if it weren't for the fact that his cultivation speed has become faster after the black blade has changed, and there is no discomfort in his body, otherwise he would have put the black blade on the shelf.
During the last trip to the Frost and Snow Mountain, the Black Blade absorbed some unknown liquid from the special dark millipede, and the signs of life that were becoming more and more obvious suddenly disappeared, for which Leach was secretly happy for a long time. After all, there is always a time bomb that will explode at any time, and no one can handle it calmly.
But just a few days after he was happy, the "surprise" that the black blade brought to Leach was a little too huge, so big that he couldn't bear it at all.
Although relying on the unknown power successfully stopped Istah's beastly behavior towards Saya, even if he could choose again, Leach would still choose to let that "him" control his body, but in the face of stumps and sticky blood all over the ground, Leach could not calm the turmoil in his heart.
When Saya anxiously held up the "backlash" of Leach, he could obviously feel that he was trembling all over. When she finally realized the crux of Leach's fear, she subconsciously let go of the hand that was holding his arm tightly.
Saya really couldn't imagine that the usually amiable, lazy and slightly diligent regiment commander would be so ruthless, but the tragic scene in front of her reminded her all the time that this was the case.
For a moment, Saya even thought that it was another stranger standing next to her, so she was very wary of putting a short distance from Leach.
But when Saya saw the confusion, fear, and helplessness on Leach's face, his heart couldn't help but soften. Whatever he did, it was for himself after all. Even if what he did just now was not the slightest bit rational or even very inhumane, didn't this just show how heavy he was in his heart?
Thinking of this, the trace of fear in Saya's heart was thrown out of the clouds by her in an instant, and she stepped forward in distress and hugged the stunned Leach into her arms.
Warm nephrite, but at this time Leach was not in the mood to feel appreciation, he didn't care about killing, when he stepped into the adventure hunter industry, he was already mentally prepared, but despite this, he also tried his best to reduce unnecessary killing, after all, killing is not a pleasant thing, but like just now, it was really unacceptable for him to use cruel means to break the corpse, especially since it was "himself" who caused all this, which made him more and more uneasy.
I don't know how long it took, but in the end, it was Kumar's suppressed muffled snort that woke up the two of them.
After some gentle persuasion from Saya, Leach felt a little better, and in order not to let Saya's fear with him, Leach did not explain to her the terrible things that happened to him.
Fighting his spirits, Leach ran towards the agony Kumar first.
Although it can be seen that he is holding on, Saya does not get to the bottom of it, and he will naturally say it when he wants to.
Kumar's situation was not optimistic, the snake's venom hurt him obviously much more seriously than Ishtar had introduced before, and when Leach and Saya untied him, they found that his originally dark face was white, and all the exposed skin on his forehead, neck, and back of his hands was full of green tendons, and he kept wriggling like an earthworm, which looked very terrifying.
Not bothering to think about his own business anymore, Leach picked up Kumar and ran to the waterhole without saying a word. Because of the pain, Kumar was sweating like rain, and in an environment like the desert, if he didn't replenish water in time, even if he didn't die of pain in the end, he would die of dehydration.
Fortunately, although Kumar began to convulse in pain, he still had a trace of consciousness, and the water that Leach fed him could still swallow.
But for the venom of the snake, whether it is Leach or Saya, they are helpless.
Because of the unknown power, the poison of the snake in himself has been mysteriously cured, but although Saya drank the antidote he carried with him immediately after regaining his freedom, it had no effect.
Neither of them had any research on poisons, let alone strange toxins like the venom of the snake, so they could only stare dryly.
Just as the two of them were in a hurry like ants on a hot pot, Kuma's arm trembled and was raised.
"How are you, Kuma, how are we going to detoxify you?" Seeing that Kuma's eyes had regained some clarity, Leach immediately asked, for fear that he would lose consciousness again.
Kumar couldn't speak at all, and it was already his limit to be able to move his arm, and with all his might, he pointed to his belt.
"The antidote is in your belt, right? blink if it's right, blink twice if it's not!"
Seeing Kumar blink, Leach ripped Kuma's belt open, and didn't care if it would make Saya see something that shouldn't be seen, so he lifted Kuma's robe and rummaged through.
Soon, Kumar pulled out a small cloth bag from one of the pockets on the inside of his robe.
When the cloth bag was opened, there were ten large and small medicine bottles inside, and according to the old method, Leach picked up the bottles for Kumar to identify. Kumar's eyes became eager as he picked up a blue vial, and then blinked quickly.
Finally found the antidote, and Leach didn't talk nonsense, uncorked the bottle and poured out two small blue pills the size of peanuts from the medicine bottle.
After Saya and Kumar took the antidote, Leach watched the changes between the two of them.
Five minutes later, first Saya showed surprise on his face, saying that he could mobilize a small part of his fighting energy, and then Kuma's green tendons gradually disappeared, and after twenty minutes, the two of them finally returned to normal.
The first thing Kumar did after recovering was to beckon Leach and the others to go with him to find the hydration bags left behind by Estar and the others.
Leach and Saya don't know the doorways of Tabi, but Kumar knows very well that he must not be able to stay too long in a place like the supply point, and if he is purely trying to ambush others like Ishtar did before, of course, it must be a different matter.
Coming to the place where the three were arrested before, Kumar finally saw Leach's "masterpiece".
Like Saya, Kumar didn't know what Leach had done before, and he had no time to care about the poison of the snake at that time, but when he looked at it now, he immediately felt a chill from behind him rush to the top of his head, glanced at Litch who came over later, and subconsciously moved two steps to the side.
