Chapter 17: Devouring Fusion

It was already getting light, and Jose looked at the white sky, carefully bent down, and looked down the mountain from behind the boulder, and found that there was nothing unusual, and his heart was a little calm. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Su Ya was sitting cross-legged on the side at the moment, meditating with her eyes closed. Last night, she used the magic scroll to summon the undead knight, although she didn't spend much mental power, but she was really tired of running around with injuries in the past few days.

Jose took a cursory examination of his injuries, and there was no discomfort except for the severe pain in his chest. Despite this, for a student like him, who doesn't usually exercise much, he can't help but be pale and weak at the moment.

After resting for a long time, Su Ya opened her eyes, and when she saw Jose's face, she couldn't help frowning and said, "Take off your shirt," after a pause, the girl's face was still slightly crimson, "I need to check your injuries." ”

Jose was a little embarrassed, although he wanted to refuse, but the current situation of the two of them seemed to be intolerant of any hypocrisy. And his injuries are indeed quite serious, although Su Ya is not very old, she is also a soldier, and she must be more skilled than herself in dealing with injuries and bones.

So José didn't squirm, endured the pain, and took off his shirt. Su Ya carefully checked Jose's injury, and only waited for Joseph to put on his clothes before he said in a calm tone: "Your injury is not serious, your chest is bruised and purple, and there is pain under your ribs, it should only be a few broken bones, and it does not hurt your internal organs." ”

Qiao Se listened to Su Ya's words, and couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, the broken ribs are not serious, you treat me as an undead creature, right? But after thinking about it, for Su Ya, compared to the injuries on her body at the beginning, I am afraid that this little color on her body is really nothing.

Joseph smiled bitterly, "It's just that I can't move around now, as long as I move a little, my chest hurts terribly, we can't just stay here all the time......"

At this time, Su Ya picked up her sword, walked to the side of the sparse branches, cut a few slightly thicker branches, and straightened them to José and said, "I will help you connect it, and then fix it with branches, so that you can at least walk, but it will be a little painful, understand?"

Jose thought that there was only so much to do, so he gritted his teeth and nodded.

Suya found the bandage in Joseph's backpack and tied a branch under Joseph's ribs to secure the broken bone. Although Qiao Se was in a terrible pain, he always gritted his teeth to support him, and when he was picked up by Su Ya, he only gasped and refused to scream.

After working for a long time, a little bead of sweat appeared on both of their heads in the end. Su Ya was tired from bandaging, and Qiao Se was so hurt that her lips were pale and cold sweat broke out.

After finally enduring the severe pain and bandaging and fixing, Qiao Se took two more anti-inflammatory pills on his body, in this backward world of cold weapons, if the wound is infected and inflamed, he really doesn't know how to die.

After Jose's injury was treated simply by Su Ya, he tried it, and although his chest still hurt, he could barely support his walk. So he didn't care about the pain, so he was supported by Su Ya and took advantage of the dawn to explore the way on the mountain step by step.

The two of them walked for a long time, and then José began to notice something unusual, and as he went, the vegetation on the mountain seemed to be getting denser and denser, and before there were only a few sparse shrubs in the valley and on the slopes, but now almost all around were overgrown with trees and weeds.

Jose couldn't help but be a little vigilant in his heart, although it stands to reason that there should be a lot of precipitation on the slopes of the mountain, but in this dry inland desert, there is no water in the valley, and it is indeed a little strange that there is such a large number of trees on the slopes.

Su Ya obviously noticed the abnormality as well, and sure enough, just after the two of them crossed a small hill, they saw a scene that surprised them: behind the hillside was a ...... Cave!

The cave is about 10 meters high, but it is only about 2 meters wide at its widest point, showing a long and narrow cleft, and there is no vegetation on the surrounding mountain wall, which looks like a huge narrow mountain crack.

The two of them looked at the huge cave in front of them in surprise, and couldn't help but glance at each other. José has also seen quite a few wilderness survival shows in the real world, and he knows that in such cases, fresh water can often be found in caves.

But thinking of the dangers that might be hidden in this strange world, Joseph hesitated a little, so he asked, "There is a cave here, there should be a water source, we ...... Why don't you try to go in and have a look?"

Su Ya also frowned, the two of them had climbed the mountain road for a long time, and their physical strength was a little overdrawn, and because Jose's backpack was lost in the camp, it was difficult to even maintain drinking water around her now, hearing Jose say this, Su Ya was also a little hesitant in her heart, but out of instinctive vigilance, she still shook her head.

"Now we all have injuries on our bodies, in case we encounter any danger in the cave, I'm afraid it will be difficult to protect ourselves, as for the water source, ......" Su Ya said here, and said with a slight smile: "There are so many vegetation here, are you afraid that you won't find water?"

After speaking, Su Ya picked up the sword and walked into the bushes, looked carefully for a long time, stopped at a plant similar to a vine, and then she quickly cut off a section of vines with her sword, and after a while, there were really water droplets dripping down the section.

"It's a 'water vine', a common desert plant, and it stores a lot of water in its vines, but it has to be cut faster, because the plant's self-healing function is very strong, and if it is slower, there will be no water coming out of its vines. Suya explained.

This kind of plant is not unfamiliar to Jose, like many desert areas in his own world will also have plants that can store water, such as cacti and the like, but this "water vine" is a plant that he has never seen before, and it must also be a species in this world.

Then Su Ya cut a few more sections of water vines and handed them to Jose, the water flowing out of the plant was slightly astringent, but after all, it was still drinkable, and Josse didn't have so many worries, and drank a lot in one go.

After the water problem was temporarily solved, the attention of the two of them was invariably focused on this narrow cave. The cave was on a mountain fault, and the small hill they had climbed was supposed to be another fault. The cave is deep and dark, and the outside of the cave entrance is covered with various plants and mosses, and it seems that there has been no trace of it for a long time.

Jose and Suya weighed the pros and cons and decided to leave here, after all, now that both of them are injured, they can only make plans if they find a safe place first.

Joseph's backpack had already been lost, only a lighter and some emergency medicine were left on his body, the most important thing at the moment was to find water and food, after a brief discussion between the two, they decided to look for food first, there were a lot of skinny wild fruits in the woods on the side, barely enough for the two of them to be hungry.

Suya carries a kettle with her, which can be used to collect fresh water for the time being, this task falls on José, as for food, it can only be found by Suya, after all, José knows almost nothing about the species in this world, in case of eating poisonous fruits, he really wants to cry without tears.

Qiao Se struggled to cut off a few water vines, collected the dripping water with a kettle, and looked at Su Ya, who was looking for wild fruits in the bushes not far away, he asked with some worry: "Su Ya, do you think that big scorpion will find here?"

Su Ya had just plucked a small green fruit from a vine and placed it in a container made of leaves in her hand, when the girl heard Jose's words, she shook her head and said, "It shouldn't be so fast, after all, the strength of the undead knight is not weak, and it can't be chased so easily." ”

"It's just that I'm still a little strange," Jose casually dropped a water vine, "The Demon Scorpion King is very large, although its speed is amazing, but I was also on guard at the time, how did it suddenly appear behind me silently?"

When Su Ya was about to answer, she instantly seemed to sense something, her brows furrowed, she raised her hand to signal Jose not to speak, then closed her eyes, and said to Jose with a somewhat solemn face: "Be quiet, I can sense that there are magic element fluctuations around here, and it seems to be a dark element with strong fluctuations!"

"Dark Department?" Joser quickly calmed down, looked at Su Ya suspiciously, and couldn't help but guess: "Could it be the Undead Knight, did he force the Demon Scorpion King to come to us?"

"I don't know," Su Ya frowned, shook her head helplessly, opened her eyes and said, "The magic fluctuation distance is too far, I can't confirm whether it is an undead knight, but," she paused for a moment before she said slowly: "It should be the undead breath." ”

"Forget it, whatever it is, let's hide first. Thinking of the Scorpion King's sharp carapace and ghostly speed, Qiao Se had some scruples in his heart, although Su Ya had already determined that there was an undead aura not far away, and there were no other magic element fluctuations, but Qiao Se was still a little uneasy in his heart.

"It's okay," Su Ya is also a thoughtful person, and when she heard Jose say this, she didn't feel a little more cautious in her heart, so the two of them carefully hid in the bushes on the side, and decided to wait and see what happened.

The space in the bushes was very small, and the two barely hid in the shadows, so they inevitably got a little closer. Looking at Su Ya beside him, Qiao Se could even smell the faint fragrance on the girl's body, despite wearing armor, Su Ya's delicate figure still made Qiao Se sigh secretly: Damn, the beauty really looks good no matter what she wears......

However, thinking of the current situation, Qiao Se hurriedly gathered his mind again, looking at Su Ya with her eyes closed, frowning slightly, and it was not easy to interrupt her rashly, but her mind was running rapidly, thinking about what the two of them should do next.

Su Ya also felt that things seemed to be a little strange at the moment, although it was said that the undead knight was an undead creature summoned by himself through the magic scroll, and in order to better control it before, the teacher had also injected a wisp of Su Ya's spiritual power into the soul mark of the undead knight. And just now I tried to feel the breath of the undead knight with my spiritual power, but the result was like a stone ox entering the sea, and I found nothing.

This couldn't help but make Su Ya feel a little vigilant in her heart, although her mental power was a little weaker than usual because of her previous injury, but the fluctuations of the dark elements in the surrounding air could be sensed very clearly.

What's going on?

The connection between himself and the Undead Knight seems to have been severed, but if this huge dark element is not issued by the Undead Knight, is it ...... Other undead creatures?

Su Ya didn't dare to be careless at all, and hurriedly spread out her spiritual power, and soon, the tentacles of her spiritual power centered on her spread out to all sides, and everything within a radius of several thousand meters was under the monitoring of Su Ya's spiritual power at this moment, and even the slightest energy fluctuation could not escape her senses.

However, Su Ya also knew that her spiritual power level was only at the level of a mid-level fourth-level magician, and if she could reach the level of a ninth-level high-level magician like her teacher, she would probably be able to clearly sense even the magic fluctuations within a radius of dozens of miles.

Even so, after a while, Su Ya had already confirmed the direction of the strongest fluctuations of the dark element, which was the other side of the hill where they had traveled all the way! Could it be that some undead creature was following her?

Su Ya's face suddenly became ugly, and when Jose saw this, he also had a premonition of the seriousness of the situation, and hurriedly asked: "How is it? Is there any danger?" Su Ya said in a deep voice what she sensed to Jose, and finally said with some solemnity: "We are likely to be targeted by another powerful undead creature, and judging from the aura it emits...... It seems that its strength is not below that of the Undead Knight......"

Qiao Se was also a little surprised, he didn't expect that there were still undead creatures here whose strength was comparable to that of an eighth-level undead knight, he thought for a moment, and asked with some doubts: "However, according to what you said, such high-level undead creatures are already very rare, how can they appear in the depths of this desert that is inaccessible?"

Su Ya looked at Jose thoughtfully and said, "What do you mean......" Jose gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not sure, but if I'm not mistaken, this thing must not be an undead knight, but it may be...... That big scorpion!"

"Impossible!" Su Ya exclaimed, even if her temperament was indifferent, the girl couldn't analyze it calmly at the moment, but she felt that Jose's guess was too absurd, shook her head and said: "The undead aura can only be emitted by dead undead creatures, and although the attributes of that big scorpion are complex, it is impossible to have dark elements." ”

Jose smiled bitterly, looked at Su Ya and said: "That's true, but from yesterday to now, I've been thinking, if what you said about the common sense of this world is not wrong, even if it is an eighth-level high-level Warcraft Demon Scorpion King, it is impossible to have so many attributes of magic, and what is even more surprising is that this guy seems to have some special 'Divine Fighting Qi', don't you think this is too unbelievable?"

"What the hell are you trying to say?" asked Su Ya with a slight frown.

"Maybe there's only one possibility," Joseph said with a wry smile, "This Demon Scorpion King also has a rare skill you mentioned - Devouring Fusion!"
