Chapter 11: Awakening
"Ahem......"
A weak cough woke up the confused Andrea, and after instinctively grabbing the dagger and looking around, she immediately turned her gaze to Xiang En, who was lying on the ground on her side and had opened her eyes, showing a surprised expression.
"Xiang En, you're awake!"
Xiang En's throat was dry and uncomfortable, just like a fever patient waking up from sleep in a state of dehydration, his body was sore, his mind was dizzy, and his internal organs were convulsions.
He felt that he was in terrible shape right now, and it wasn't all from the after-effects of the surge of magic.
The wound that has scabbed over after the recovery surgery is torn, and there is a possibility that it will be swollen by blisters, and if it is not treated in time, it may become infected.
Nevertheless...... But at least they all survived!
As long as he survives, there is a chance that he will recover from his injuries.
"How long did I sleep?" Xiang Eun tilted his head and rejected Andrea's attempt to lift him up, desperate to know the time.
When Andrea heard this, she also looked around a little confused, they were still on the cliff, but the sky around them was already dark, so she said, "It should be the second day." ”
"The next day?"
At this time, Xiang En noticed the rumbling sound of water in his ears, turned his head to look around, and then also saw the magic shield rising in the direction of De'er City.
Looking at the magic shield surrounding the city of Deair, he only felt a moment of absurdity, those mages and grandfathers protected the city of Deair, but destroyed the entire province of Deair with a flood.
What the purpose is, he doesn't know!
All he knew was that the flood had affected him, and that he would have to make those people pay in the future.
Andrea on the side also followed Xiang Eun's gaze, and her eyes once again revealed undisguised hatred, which was an irreconcilable contradiction, and those who stayed in the shield would not understand the despair and fear in their hearts that were submerged in water.
The call from Andrea's ...... side woke Andrea up, and the hatred in her eyes vanished, replaced by heartfelt worry.
Andrea could see that Xiang Eun's current state was even worse than her.
The wet clothes on his body felt uncomfortable sticking to his body, Xiang En reached out and took out his pocket, took out a piece of flint and steel from it, and said, "Take it, see if you can make a fire, I have overdrawn my magic power, and I will trouble you in the past two days." ”
Taking the flint and steel from his hand, Andrea showed a smile and said sincerely: "Without you, I would have died in the flood, rest well......"
Immediately afterward, Andrea propped herself up and tried near the cliff to find some dry firewood.
It was a little better than Xiang En had expected, and instead of going up the hill, they climbed up the cliff, and there was no threat from the monsters around.
But whether there is a monster or not, if Andrea is not saved, his ending will be the same, and the weak state of the magic surge is even more outrageous than he imagined.
Now he was on the verge of a coma all the time, but he still had to hold on for a while, at least until Andrea lit the fire.
At the same time, he was also glad that he had a good habit of carrying flint and steel with him, and he didn't put it in a cloth bag, otherwise the problem of lighting a fire would be troublesome.
After a while, Andrea returned with a pile of fairly dry firewood, but the process of starting the fire was still difficult, after all, it had only rained the day before.
It took a lot of effort to light the fire.
Later, at Xiang Eun's request, Andrea blushed and stripped Xiang Eun's naked, leaving only a pair of large pants, and baked the wet clothes by the fire.
Andrea also took off her leather armor and clothes, and also left only her underwear, which was really uncomfortable on her body.
Her leather armor was of good quality, and in the run and flood, at least 80% of her injuries were reduced, and only the head and palms were scratched, and the rest were minor injuries from the impact.
Seeing Andrea's scarred forehead, Xiang En was still a little embarrassed, but there was no way, who made him a weak chicken!
Ay......
The two unlucky people who survived the catastrophe looked at the bright fire and didn't say a word, and now they both need time to think calmly.
Xiang En felt the small amount of magic remaining in his body, and forced the dizziness in his head to make bread, originally wanting to make two pieces, but the severe colic in his head made him give up.
A piece of bread was divided into two portions, one and a half, and the effect of the bread was halved.
After eating a little, Xiang En fell into a coma due to the weakness of his whole body, and Andrea had to continue to cheer up and not let the fire go out.
It was already cold in the shade of the trees, and with the moisture washed away, and there was no fire, they would be very uncomfortable.
In the afternoon, Xiang En was woken up by a loud noise, turned his head to look, and found that the forbidden magic array was unfolding in the sky of De'er City again.
It was as if the archmages were not going to stop until they had submerged the province of De'er......
Andrea had put on her dry clothes again, she walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down, and found that the water level had risen a few meters more, and told Xiang Eun about the situation.
"It shouldn't be a big problem, at least I can wait until I regain ......my strength," Xiang Eun said with great difficulty, and his lips were extremely dry, but there was no big way to do it now, so he could only use tree vines to insert them into the flood and bring some water with sludge to moisten his throat.
The flood below contained not only animal droppings, human corpses, but all sorts of weird things, which they couldn't boil and sterilize even if they were filtered through their clothes.
After drinking too much, Xiang En suspected that he would have a rotten stomach......
After forcibly squeezing his spirit to make two pieces of bread, he fell asleep in a daze.
Andrea leaned against the trunk of the tree, the scars on her forehead had almost healed under the strong physique of the bread and warrior professions, and before long, she was only in a state of hunger.
The two of them slept in a daze by the fire, and occasionally Xiang En would be woken up by the sound of a water balloon falling in the direction of De'er City.
It was dark again, and Xiang En could feel that with the loss of time, the weakness in his body was slowly decreasing, and every time he woke up from sleep, it was a new life.
The magic in his body gradually became abundant, and he used the Infinity Bread Technique to bring back some of his own and Andrea's state.
At night, the cliffs were filled with the sound of giggling and hue, and the roars of the monsters in the depths of the forest began to rise high, faintly threatening to overwhelm the flood.
Xiang En and Andrea were vigilant, and they could occasionally hear a small number of rustling sounds not far away, perhaps some kind of creature watching over them at night.
Holding the dagger and vigilant all night, they didn't know if it was because of the terrain, although they heard the sound of the animal's body rubbing against the bushes, but they didn't really see any animal shadow.
After spending a night without danger, after a day and a night, Xiang En has also recovered most of his physical strength and magic power, although there is still a faint sense of powerlessness in his body, it has not affected his activities.
They had to find a way to get out!
