Thomas took a hard sip with a disgusted expression, resisted the constant vomiting sensation on his stomach, and asked in an uncertain tone, "Do you really want to use this kind of thing?"

Ivan, the black-haired young man, turned his head and smiled maliciously at him, "This is the most indispensable part of the treatment process, don't be verbose, do it quickly." ”

Thomas looked miserable, rolled up the sleeves of his robe, revealing his strong, open arms, and slowly sank into this rancid puddle, a puddle less than a foot deep that an adult could probe with an arm.

Although the puddle is not big, it is the only water source in this radius of twenty miles, which gathers all kinds of aquatic species, loess sand and gravel precipitate at the bottom, making the water quality of the puddle turbid and difficult to clear, and I don't know if there has been a rotting beast corpse under the puddle, the whole puddle is extremely smelly, and the smell that floats out makes people can't help but vomit.

Thomas's entire arm sank into the puddle, reaching to the bottom, motionless, until he felt a stinging pain in his arm, and jerked his arm out of the puddle.

Ivan, who was beside Thomas, was quick-eyed, holding a dagger glowing with a cold knife, and quickly removed the black leeches from Thomas's arm and put them in a makeshift straw bag.

Thomas suddenly gasped, his expression was extremely painful, Ivan took a closer look, and suddenly realized that it was you pestering little guys. I saw that after removing the leeches on Thomas's arm, the small bruises and small wounds drilled by the leeches were surging one after another, and the tiny white maggots were surging, and they used their tentacles to drill into the inside of the arm.

Thomas couldn't help it, and he used his other hand to grind hard and repeatedly, before the white maggots that made him disgusting were removed from the wound on his arm.

"That's enough for now. Thomas said to Ivan angrily.

"Hehe, don't be upset, although leeches are common insects, its medical usage is very practical, not only can it suck out the clogged blood near the wound, and after being exposed to the sun and ground into powder, it can be applied to the wound, and it also has a strong hemostatic effect. ”

Ivan put away the leeches on the straw bag and comforted Thomas, who had a stinky face beside him.

"Now that the leeches are also available, we can go. ”

Ivan shook his head at him, "Wait a minute, there's another thing I need too." ”

"What's that?" Thomas asked.

"If I'm not mistaken, the reason why this puddle is so rancid is because there was once a large unknown beast whose body sank into the puddle and decomposed. The decaying corpse attracts water parasites such as white maggots, so the soil at the bottom of the puddle contains strong decomposition, which can just be used to disinfect your captain. ”

No matter how reluctant Thomas was, he couldn't refuse, after all, Hamm's life and death were at stake, and he couldn't ignore them.

Holding back his nausea, he reached down and went straight to the bottom, scooping up a large handful of black mud, which was mixed with some white carrion, and the terrible smell came to his face.

Thomas couldn't help but feel sick to his stomach, and directly fell to the ground with the black mud on his hands, and fled to the side to vomit, only Ivan on the side did not change his face and did not feel any discomfort, it seems that Ivan, who grew up in the garbage city, has a strong resistance to the smell.

Ivan collected the black mud on the ground behind a leaf that resembled a lotus leaf, walked up to Thomas and smiled, "Okay, now you can go." ”

......

On a hillside full of shrubs, Thomas suddenly looked up and surprised Ivan, who was also bent down to look in the bushes: "I found it, I found the blood-colored large-mouthed flower." ”

As he spoke, he lifted up a red flower with thick petals like a flaming red lip, Ivan took it and sniffed it carefully, that's right, this is the magic herb that the old ghost said to him, a magical herb with super hematopoietic effect, a blood-colored large-mouthed flower.

"Well, one last thing is ready, and now we can go back to Captain Hamm. Ivan wrapped up the blood-colored largemouth and walked with Thomas in the direction of the return journey.

Wait, Ivan's powerful spiritual power made him sensitive to nearby sounds and movements, and he seemed to feel it just now, a terrifying feeling that the earth was trembling.

"What's wrong?" Thomas asked Ivan as he suddenly stopped.

"Don't be silent, follow me. Ivan found a huge rock and hid himself with Thomas behind it.

In the air, there was a faint rustling sound like branches and leaves, and then not far away, a roar like thunder on the flat ground, the sound vibrated the whole earth as if it was trembling slightly.

In addition, Ivan felt a small, strange sound, not like the voice of demons, not like the language of the Terrans, not like the wild roar of beasts, like a unique and peaceful ancient language, with a magical charm of interdependence with nature.

The next scene was an eye-opener for Ivan and Thomas.

I saw more than 100 towering trees dozens of zhang high, the roots of which were similar to those of the human race with two legs, walking awkwardly step by step, and the heavy body size made the earth tremble for a moment with every step of the tree.

And some of the bodies of these big trees have a mouth, some have a nose, and some have a pair of godless eyes, as if they are evolving towards the appearance of the human race.

When Ivan saw the appearance of these big trees, an ancient legend that had spread on the mainland floated in his mind.

According to ancient legends, at the beginning of the Continent of the Gods, there was a sacred tree in the world with hidden roots all over the world, which created the gods and multiplied thousands of lives, and was the source of all life and the supreme mother of all things.

As the gods grew stronger, they withered and eventually became a race, the Treants, known for their gentleness and tolerance of prophets.

The Treants have a long-lived lifespan, with a lifespan of tens of thousands of years or more, they are powerful but not aggressive, and they are the most harmless race in the Continent of the Gods. Elves and Druids have the best relationship with the Treants, and as a result, have received gratuitous help from the Treants many times.

But 100,000 years ago, the Tree Man Race mysteriously disappeared, and no one knew where the Tree Man Tree went.

To know the existence of the Treants, it can be traced back to the era of the gods, when even the gods were incarnated by the Treants because they were the mother tree, and they respected it for three points.

The Treeman Clan, who had disappeared for 100,000 years, was actually encountered by him Ivan in the Garon Mountains, so could the Treants be hidden in the Garon Mountains for 100,000 years, if not, then what is the purpose of these Treemen coming to the Garonne Mountains.
