Covered in wounds and carrying an indigenous maiden through the Valleys of Dodan filled with magical beasts, Viru returns to the town of Dodan.

Surdak guessed that Viru had not returned for so long, and that he was probably injured in the Warcraft Forest, but he didn't expect that he would be so badly injured, his bandages were almost red with blood, his face was as pale as paper, and he even needed the support of the young native girl to walk.

When he walked, there was still some tension in his body, like a hunting bow.

As she passed through the North Gate, the innocent eyes of the native girl were full of vigilance and panic, she was covered with some animal skins, barefoot, wearing animal tooth pendants on her ankles and wrists, her brown skin was painted with a pale green oil paint, and her pupils were amber, like a pair of cat's eyes.

She had long legs, and in an unfamiliar place, she seemed cautious with every step she took forward.

The girl's face was full of jungle wildness, and her water chestnut-shaped lips were slightly upturned, playful and cute.

The body is as light and agile as a tanuki.

Viru hung half of her body on the native girl, one arm hooked around her toned shoulder, and the native girl didn't mind putting her arms around Viru's waist and dragging him forward.

Viru and the native maiden were stopped by the city guards at the entrance to the gate of the northern wall, who brought a stretcher and let Viru lie on it, carrying him to the barracks.

"Viru, Viru......"

The indigenous maiden whispered Viru's name from her mouth.

She wanted to turn around and leave, panic in her eyes.

However, a small hand was tightly grasped by Viru, and she accompanied Viru with a panicked face, calling the name of 'Viru' all the time, and followed him into the barracks.

……

Surdak happened to be peeling the leather of the monster in the kitchen of the small building of the barracks, and his technique was very skillful.

As the second spirit bone with the life pattern was discovered by Surdak, Surdak finally put down the skinning knife in his hand, took the hip bone with a little bit of flesh and blood in his hand, looked at the entangled magic pattern on it, exhaled a long breath, washed his hands by the pool, and prepared to store this magic pattern spirit bone that was constantly dissipating magic power into the demon sealing box.

'Tuk Tuk'

There was a knock on the door.

Surdak pushed open the wooden door of the small building and asked Andrew, who was standing at the door:

"What's the matter?"

Recently, there have been a lot of trivial matters in the barracks, and although Selena is in charge of the logistics of the barracks, some troubles are still coming one after another, and he is a little impatient.

Andrew stood in the doorway and whispered:

"Head, Viru was sent back with some injuries."

Surdak felt a little complicated in his heart, as if he was relieved, but he was a little worried, and hurriedly asked, "Where is the person?" ”

Andrew replied:

"It's right outside."

Thinking that he was already a strong second-turn powerhouse, and the strong fighting spirit in his body should give him the power to protect himself, Surdak hurriedly ordered:

"Hurry up and bring it in."

Two city guards walked in carrying a stretcher, their big scalp boots clattering on the planks.

Seeing that Viru's eyes seemed to be a little dilated, Surdak quickly asked people to carry him to the bed in the guest room, regardless of the fact that he was covered in blood, and a blazing white divine aura condensed from his palm, forcibly pouring this divine aura into Viru's body.

"How could he be so badly injured?" Surdak asked.

Andrew shook his head and said, "This is what he looked like when he was found at the gate of the northern wall. ”

The native girl refused to let go of Viru's hand, crouched by the window and looked at Surdak with a terrified expression, refusing to say a word or leave the room with Andrew.

Surdak had no choice but to let her stay.

Surdak set up the altar of sacrifice, and as the dark blue flames lit up from the pottery bowl one by one, Surdak recited a series of prayers, and a two-faced, four-armed statue of the demon god appeared in the center of the four pottery bowls, and the crown of the demon god statue almost reached the ceiling.

After sacrificing a monster head, the blessing of the god of the 'Divine Blessed Body' fell on Viru's body.

A faint glow emanated from Viru's body, and the native girl crouching by the window looked up at the statue of the demon god with a frightened face, so frightened that she knelt on the floor and didn't dare to move, the panic seemed to be a tremor at the soul level.

Surdak didn't have time to pay attention to the native girl, and he sacrificed one of the beast's heads again to gain the power of the 'True Eye'.

Viru had never untied the bandages on his body, and Surdak, with his 'True Eye', did not need to untie the bandages on his body, so he found the wounds on his body through the bandages, cut the bandages and treated the wounds carefully.

The wounds on his body were all lacerations and bites, and there seemed to be this layer of extremely corrosive acid near the wounds, which almost corroded the flesh on his body, and the wounds were as deep as the bones.

As the 'Blessed Body' and the 'Holy Light Technique' continued to forcibly heal the wounds, the acid continued to corrode the healed parts into thick blood water.

Surdak relentlessly and took out the huge head of a black-backed ice-horned rhinoceros and sacrificed it.

A ray of light fell on Viru.

The high-level god's blessing 'Overlord Body' suddenly gave Viru an extremely strong recovery power, and the flesh and blood of the wound seemed to have life, constantly converging together.

The acid was still eroding the wound.

Surdak took a boning knife from the kitchen board and burned it on the dark blue flame on the clay pot, cutting off a layer of flesh from Viru's wound with the pale green marks seen by the True Eye, repairing his wound bit by bit.

It took four monster heads to be sacrificed in a row to maintain the 'True Eye' on his body, and all of Viru's wounds were healed.

As Viru slept into a deep slumber, Surdak stopped, stepped out of the room, and had dinner prepared for the native girl.

……

The next morning, Surdak pushed open the wooden door of the guest room and walked in, only to find that Viru, who was covered in a blood-colored bandage, had woken up, and put a hand on the top of the head of the native girl, looking at her with a gentle look in his eyes.

In his memory, Surdak had never seen Viru have such gentle eyes.

The native girl curled up and lay on the edge of the bed and slept soundly.

Surdak sat on the other side of Viru and examined his wounds without saying a word.

Although he did not untie the bandage on Viru's body, in the eyes of the truth, Viru's body was no longer a secret to Surdak, and the fine scales on the skin of his body seemed to come from some kind of lizard blood, but one arm had completely faded. Went to such scales.

Surdak never thought that Viru would have the blood of an alien lizard.

"Isn't it a little surprising that the friend who used to get along day and night is actually a lizard?" Viru grinned, with an intriguing smile on his face, and said to Surdak.

Surdak snorted in a nasal voice and said mercilessly, "I'm surprised that you still made it out of the Invercargill Forest alive, I don't know if you are unlucky...... Still lucky. ”

Lying on the bed, Viru watched a wound on his arm heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, and said weakly:

"I didn't expect to be able to escape, but after all, I was lucky! I always thought I was going to die, but I didn't expect to survive this way. ”

"She saved you?" Surdak asked, glancing at the indigenous girl beside the bed.

Viru nodded, probably involving the wound, and grinned, "To be precise, she and her tribe should have saved me......"

Viru began to recount his injuries, saying:

"Leaving the Dodan Gorge that day, over the hills, I entered the Invercargill Forest alone, and I have been hiding from those monsters and going north."

Surdak said, "We also went to Invercargill to look for you, and walked to the edge of the Dark Worm Valley, but we didn't meet you, you know it's dangerous over there, and we can't stay long......"

Viru didn't expect Surdak to bring the entire cavalry squadron into the Invercargill Forest, and when he heard Surdak say that he would leave the cavalry squadron in the Dakuni tribe, he said:

"It's good that you didn't stay over there, I had already sneaked into the Dark Worm Valley at that time, originally I was going to see what it was like inside, I successfully concealed the ghost red ants on the periphery, and when I entered the Dark Worm Valley, I found that there was nowhere to hide in the Worm Valley, because there were hatching rooms one after another except for wormholes."

"The ghostly red ants guarding these hatcheries are also hierarchical, and it is difficult to blend in unless they are disguised as food."

Hearing Viru say this, Surdak knew that Viru was probably bold enough to pretend to be dead and was dragged back to the anthill by the ghost-patterned red ants.

Viru continued: "I was just dragged into the hatchery room by the ghost striped worker ants, and the guard red ants tried to spit acid on me, and I was discovered, those acids are very corrosive, very harmful to the skin, and even more damaging to the wounds, you can never imagine how terrifying that face is, I just ran away, and a large group of ghost red ants chased after me. ”

"I originally thought that escaping from the anthill with my own strength should not be a problem, even if it was a little injured, it didn't matter, but I didn't expect the dark worm valley to be so big, the anthill inside is like a huge maze, I went through tunnels inside, and entered one ant hill hatching room after another, the layers of incubation rooms seem to have no end at all, and the freovates in the hatching room have begun to struggle and squirm, indicating that the larvae inside are about to hatch."

“…… I mean, all the ghost-patterned red ant freak eggs, shuttling in and out of the hatchery room after room, I don't know how many ghost-patterned worker ants I shot, and then there is no end, and then there is a kind of despair in my heart. ”

Lying on the bed, Viru said:

"Ghost striped worker ants are not scary, but they are numerous."

"The scary thing is those ghost pattern soldier ants, although their number is not very large, the strength of the ghost pattern soldier ants is infinitely close to the second-turn warrior, I can deal with each one independently, but the two ghost pattern red ants join forces, I can deal with it a little reluctantly, and almost all the injuries on my body are caused by the ghost pattern soldier ants."

"Swarms of ghost-patterned soldiers and ants are chasing and intercepting in the anthill, and it is difficult for me to even escape."

"The labyrinth-like anthill, I didn't know how to go at all, in a panic, I ran into a very peculiar hatching room, where the foliates are much larger than the foliates in other hatching rooms, those ghost-patterned soldiers are a little afraid to enter the hatching room, as if they are afraid that those xenograms will be injured, so I am in that hatching room with ghost-patterned soldiers and ants."

"It's just that there is some acid on my body, and the flesh and blood are about to rot, and I even want to choose a grave for myself in the anthill."

"I didn't expect to meet a group of natives who dug a hole in the ground and dragged me directly into the hole, we took the opportunity to escape from the anthill with this secret passage, and managed to avoid the ghost-patterned red ants all the way, and ran directly to the north side of the Dark Worm Valley.

"I have lived in the indigenous tribe for more than ten days, and the witches of the indigenous tribe have exhausted the means of treatment for me, but unfortunately they can't deal with the rot of the ghostly red ants, and before the beast tide broke out, their tribe also had to leave the Invercargil forest, so I followed out of the forest."

"I just want to tell you that those ghost-patterned red ants are really terrifying, and there are countless hatcheries in the Dark Worm Valley, and the hatching chambers inside are all ghost-patterned red ants that are about to break their eggs."

"There is not so much food in the Dark Worm Valley, and when those ghost-patterned red ants hatch out, it is estimated that when the beast tide breaks out, they will rush out of the anthill on a large scale, and according to the witches of their tribe, there will be many new queens born in the Dark Worm Valley, and countless young ghost-patterned red ants will follow the queen's flight trajectory and leave the Dark Worm Valley."

"Obviously...... The northern walls of the Dodan Gorge block their path. ”

Surdak was still treating Viru, and seemed unmoved by Viru's words.

"This tide is dangerous, more dangerous than ever, because more new queens will be born."

Viru said earnestly to Surdak.

"It's my job to stay here, and we've stuck to it in the past, and now it'...... I can't escape, I have fifteen hundred garrisons behind me, and I can't irresponsibly leave him here, and I can't take them away, so get ready for battle. Surdak said firmly.

The indigenous maiden had woken up.

There was a wary look in her eyes, but when she looked at Viru, she fell silent again, squinting her eyes and smiling sweetly.

Viru reached out and rubbed the messy hair on top of her head, and the native girl saw that Viru was able to move, and pounced on him with a look of surprise, and sat on his legs and sniffed wildly at him with her petite nose.

Viru nudged her, motioning for the native girl to help him up.

Although Surdak has already treated the wounds on Viru's body, with his current state, he will have to lie in bed for at least half a month before he can fully recover.

Seeing that Viru was about to go to the door, Surdak stopped him and said:

"The injury is so bad, you need at least a week to recuperate, stay, and if you want to leave, you have to wait a few days......"

Viru pressed one hand on Surdak's shoulder and said with some difficulty, "You don't have confidence in your Holy Light Technique? I could feel the life in my body, I knew my injuries, they saved me, and I was going to take them to a safe haven. ”

As he spoke, Viru glanced at the native girl who was holding him up with a look of anticipation......
