Chapter Eighty-Three: Serious Injuries

The burns on the back were really serious.

Crafted entirely from metal ore, the thermally conductive Refined Ore set is not only defenseless against heat and flame, but may even increase fire damage.

The principle refers to teppanyaki

This is why Gordon has been injured by the aftermath of such attacks more than once, as has the hot breath of the Peach Fur Beastmaster, and the hot sand breath of the Great Monster Bird.

If you change to a set of armor with high "fire resistance", such as a red speed dragon suit made of red speed dragon skin that lives in a hot area, as long as you don't get hit head-on by breath, some heat aftermath and area damage can be almost completely ignored.

And not as it is now, suffering heavy blows.

At first, Gordon thought that just like the Peach-haired Beastmaster did this time, he would be fine with some healing medicine, but he didn't expect that the wound caused by the hot sand breath of the big monster bird was abnormal.

The rejuvenating medicine does speed up the regeneration of the skin, but the wound is untreated, and the new tender skin and the clothes on the back are adhered together, and the wound will tear again at the slightest movement.

In order to avoid further aggravation of his injuries and infection, he had no choice but to return to the camp with the pork chops first.

Inside the camp, Gordon carefully removed his armor with the help of a pork chop, revealing a charred shirt on his back and a horrific red and black wound.

"It's a serious meow." Pork Chop said worriedly: "Do you need to cancel the task first?" ”

"Hiss~, no." Gordon gasped and lay down on the bed in the camp, he said: "The burn wound looks terrible, but it shouldn't hurt the muscles yet, pork chop, take a knife to help me clean the wound, otherwise the wound will not grow well." ”

"Okay meow."

After nearly two years as Gordon's hunting cat partner, the chop has mastered the techniques of dressing and treating all kinds of wounds, including such burns.

But even so, it took more than an hour for the pork chop to use a sterilized knife to cut off the dead skin burned on Gordon's back little by little, as well as a large number of foreign objects adhered to the new tender skin.

These foreign bodies are mainly shirt fibers and cooled sand, and if these foreign objects are not cleaned up, no matter how much Gordon drinks the recovery medicine, it is useless.

After finally cleaning the wound, the sweat oozing from Gordon's forehead had completely soaked the pillow, gasped for a few breaths, and after pouring two more bottles of recovery medicine, he kept lying on his stomach and closed his eyes, forcing himself to sleep.

Adequate rest is the only way to maximize the effect of the recovery medicine.

It has to be said that the invention of recovery medicine and various alchemical potions has greatly improved the survival rate of hunters, otherwise such a large area of skin burns is very easy to cause infection, leading to more serious consequences.

Seeing that Gordon's breathing had stabilized and that there was no large amount of fluid oozing from the wound, the pork chop breathed a sigh of relief and curled up on the cushion at the foot of the bed.

It's getting dark, so let's get some rest today.

Gordon was woken up hungry.

From yesterday noon to now, he hasn't eaten anything except a few bottles of recovery medicine.

Gordon, who was still lying on his stomach, did not rush to get up, but carefully tried to move his arms, and there was no pain in his back, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

With a push of his arms, he got up from the bed, and after a few more chest expansions, he confirmed that the wound on his back was completely healed.

This type of medical treatment, which uses drugs to speed up wound recovery, will inevitably leave scars.

You don't need to look at Gordon to know that there must be a large ugly burn mark on your back now, but so what?

Don't say that he didn't care about these in the first place, even if he cared, after receiving the fireball of the male fire dragon at that time, his back was already a mess, and now it was just a scar on top of a scar.

Without waking up the still snoring pork chop, Gordon crept outside the tent.

It was still dark, but based on the position of the vanishing stars and the moon, Gordon knew that in another hour at most, the sky would be white.

Stretching his back at the sky, Gordon said hesitantly, "Let's make a hearty breakfast first." ”

After more than half an hour, the pork chop, who was also awakened by hunger, walked out of the tent rubbing his eyes.

"Good morning, pork chop!"

"Morning meow~, Gordon's wound is okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Gordon smiled and showed the back of the chop, suddenly noticing that he was not wearing a shirt.

"No wonder it's a little cold." Gordon muttered, walked to the tent to get his shirt for washing, and said to the pork chop: "Breakfast is ready, eat more, I have to go to the big bird to find the field today!" ”

"Okay meow!" The pork chop jumped towards the iron pot that was grunting over the campfire.

The so-called hearty breakfast is naturally not the kind in the tavern, where there are big fish, meat, cheese, fruits and vegetables, but a large pot of steaming paste.

This time, Gordon didn't take the time to hunt raw meat, and the delicious barbecue naturally didn't need to be considered, and the texture and brick-like food were the only "ingredients".

Smash several pieces of food and put them in a pot with water to boil.

When the hard wheat flour absorbs water, it swells, and the dry, hard, salty jerky mixed with it becomes slightly softer, and eventually turns into a thick porridge-like jerky.

It's impossible to say how delicious this big pot of hot cereal is, but it's better than stuffing it into your mouth and carrying it hard, at least without crippling your throat.

As the old people like to say - eating is adding charcoal to the stove, and when people are full, they will have spirits.

Gordon and the pork chop, who were burped by the big pot of wheat paste, felt a hundred times more energetic at this time.

"Pork chops, let's discuss tactics!"

No matter how much information I inquired about, I didn't go to the hunting ground to really face the big monster bird once, and then I had to understand.

Gordon thought a lot about it as a distraction while cleaning his wounds yesterday, and now it's time to make a tactical plan.

"Yesterday I had been fighting the big monster bird head-on, and it turned out that the guy's head is actually not a weak point, the huge beak is very hard, and I can't easily break through the defense with the giant scissors.

Moreover, the giant beak is also the most powerful weapon of the Great Monster Bird, and its pecking and breathing power are amazing, and it is very risky to face it head-on, so I will try to lock on its wings or belly in the future.

So pork chop, I need you to attract the attention of the big monster bird, you don't have to really fight it, just jump around in front of it and provoke, take care to protect yourself, I will wait for the opportunity to launch an offensive on the side. ”

"Okay meow!"

"And then there's that guy's hearing problem, how many other bomb barrels do you have for pork chops?"

"There are two more meows under the next check!"

"I also have three sonic booms here, together with you, the timing of use depends on the judgment, but pay attention, the big monster bird will put away the ear fan when it is angry, at this time the noise is ineffective, be sure to use it when the ear fan is deployed."

"Understood!" Pork Chop took the sonic boom and nodded earnestly.

"Give priority to the use of sonic booms, the bomb barrel may blow up the ear fan of the big monster bird, and the effect of noise will also be weakened after the ear fan is destroyed, this is what Old Man Miles told me, there is no doubt about the reliability."

"Give priority to the use of sonic booms, meow, remember meow in the next."
