Chapter Nineteen: Sleepless Night
Chapter 19: Sleepless at Night ()
"Kane's performance was so panicked just now. He lacked a sense of measure when he made several moves. If it were in a one-on-one situation, I'm afraid you would have died long ago." Around the bonfire, Xiu Te analyzed the battle just now, "And, when we fought a few of us, Kane, you didn't find your position, and you still need to strengthen your training in the future. Yao Yan..." His eyes fell on the young man who was seriously resting on the arrow. Xiu Te found that he had nothing to say, and finally could only say: "Yao Yan, you performed well."
The boy smiled and said nothing, but just sighed, not knowing whether it was for the arrows in his hand. In fact, the explosion of such power would cause great damage to the arrows. These two arrows have been damaged to varying degrees. Even if they were rested, they could no longer be used to do such things. They could only be used as ordinary arrows. However, he did not express any opinion on this battle, and no one knew what the boy was thinking.
All the enemies were eventually dealt with by two teenagers. Of course, this is not a coincidence. Nester has been entangled with the shield warrior from beginning to end. In fact, the scars on his body are actually caused by the pain stimulation, which can better stimulate the power of anger. In addition to the initial frozen ring, Paselin was only using the lowest-level Ice Shield and Frost Rays to play melee with the thief. He dared to play melee with the thief. It can be seen how confident Paselin is. As the strongest of the three, Shute did not take any action at all. From beginning to end, he only shot an arrow, destroyed a shield, and then put a trap and caught a thief who was originally planning to keep it as a living mouth.
Yao Yan, who did not join the frontal battle, performed long-range snipers, was the key to truly mastering this battle. However, after all, not every time, there was such a good opportunity to attack, so Xiu Te began to remind Yao Yan again that he had no problems in shooting skills now, and the next step to strengthen is the ability to fight in close combat.
Yao Yan nodded, and then everyone began to study what caused these people to attack them so boldly. In the Liyuan wilderness, unless it was a dispute over huge interests, most adventurers would be very friendly and even help each other, because in the Liyuan wilderness, the small human beings are always weak, and endless monsters and unpredictable weather are the real masters. No one dares to guarantee that they do not need help from others.
However, everyone did not discuss the reason, and arranged the night watch and started preparing to go to bed.
On the wasteland, the vigil has always been a turn for Hawkeye Ranger and Warrior Nester. The mage's mental power directly affects its combat effectiveness. Yao Yan and the Calf Head are both children, and they are at the age of sleepiness. If it is not necessary, Xiute will not arrange for them to vigil.
In the first half of the night, Shute often put his longbow in the place where he could get it and slowly added firewood into the fire. Nester held the magic motorcycle and drooled, not knowing what kind of dream he was having.
Yao Yan and Xiao Quantou rolled in a ball, leaning against the giant bear to sleep. Yao Yan, who held the calves' head with both hands and feet, muttering "animal companion" and other words. Paserin was just beside him, meditating with his eyes closed, and a faint light of fire was floating around him. It was a shield of flame. It was originally a defensive spell, but Paserin liked to use it as a constant temperature barrier.
Looking at the partners in front of him, for some reason, a lot of warmth in Xute's heart inexplicably arose. Now a new partner has joined. Perhaps, he is no longer fighting alone, and he is no longer struggling in vain.
But...how much time is left for yourself?
After falling asleep, Xiao Tai and Yao Yan were both extremely dishonest guys. Several times, if the giant bear had not opened its eyes and pulled them back with its claws, they might have rolled directly into the fire. The boy who did not wake up no matter how the giant bear fiddled, opened his eyes when Shute was just about to change shifts with Nester.
"Someone is here." Xiu Te whispered, Yao Yan nodded. He obviously heard someone approaching and opened his eyes. Xiu Te had Hawkeye technique to detect nearby, but he didn't know why Yao Yan could feel the dangerous approach so sensitively.
The other party approached carefully, like a frightened bird. Xiu Te held the bow and arrow in his hand, but his expression was relaxed because he could hear the other party's footsteps staggering and full of hesitation. This was definitely not the footsteps of the person who decided to attack.
"Sorry, we have no malice. My companion is injured. Can we give us a temporary rest?" The other party shouted at a long distance. Shiut glanced at Paserin who had woken up, and Nester's snoring had just stopped. Although he did not open his eyes, he was obviously awake.
"Come here, friend." Shute's eyes swept across several companions, and after getting their support, he spoke loudly.
Although I was attacked by others just now, it is not always so intrigue on the wasteland.
The three of them supported each other and walked over. They were a mage, a ranger and a minstrel.
They were all wounded, and the worst was the Ranger. One of his legs broke from knees. He just simply bandaged it. In order not to let the blood flow, he tied a strap into his thigh. The strap was deeply tied into his flesh, but also saved his life.
The one who was the least injured was obviously the mage. He had only a few scratches on his body, and there were a few hideous scars on the handsome face of the minstrel.
Everyone was surprised to see these three professions in such a place, while Yao Yan was curious about looking at the minstrel. This was the first time he saw the minstrel. The reason why he could recognize it was because of the harp on the minstrel's back.
"Are attacked?" Shute stood up and met him. The other party retreated for a moment, obviously still a little alert, but when he saw the pure smile on the boy sitting there, he accepted his help again.
"Yes, how do you guys..." The answer to the opposite side was the minstrel, who was like a negative version of the minstrel. The minstrel is close to nature, can use the power of various elements, and can communicate with animals, so most of them wander in the wastelands and dense forests, and are born hunters and stalkers; while the minstrel walks in taverns and cocktails, using their natural charm, using various spells related to spirit and charm, and wanders between people through their 3-inch tongue and beautiful singing voice.
If the wastelands and jungle are the home courts of rangers, then the city and artificial buildings are the home courts of minstrels, and what they hunt is also the heart of the girl.
Therefore, meeting a minstrel in the wasteland is as incredible as seeing a gangster dancing in a luxurious hall.
It is precisely because the minstrels have strong communication skills that they are often used as spokespersons and agents. Generally speaking, if there is a minstrel in a team, no matter how high he is, he will become the spokesperson of the team.
Facing the minstrel's replies, Sult did not answer, but pointed his hand at a land bun not far away, with five corpses inside.
In fact, it is not because of them that they are so kind. If they don’t bury these corpses, they may not have to deal with the endless stream of monsters.
Facing the appearance of a ranger who is not polite, the minstrel still smiles. In fact, although both professions advocate freedom, they have a bad relationship with each other. This is probably because the outlook on life of the two professions is different. The minstrel thinks that every minstrel is a liar, while the minstrel thinks that the minstrel is a savage who is ignorant.
In Xiute's opinion, Yao Yan is actually more suitable to be a minstrel. The messy plans he had come up with and his social aquarius, even the most powerful minstrel that Xiute had ever seen, may not be able to do it.
The biggest requirement for becoming a minstrel is not talent or magic, but charm. There is no doubt that the boy is innocent and particularly infectious when he smiles. Even a magic net walker like a ranger who has faith cannot see through what is hidden behind his smile. This is a unique charm.
"I'll help you with some treatment." Let the three of you sit down in front of the fire, the boy came up and looked at the wound of the worst Ranger, and said, "No matter what, stop the bleeding first."
Unlocking a blurry bandage, the boy took out a box from the car, which was the team's first aid tool. He took out a sharp knife from the first aid box, burned it on the fire, cut off the already festered rotten flesh, and then slowly sewed all the places where the wound could be sewn with needles and threads.
While doing these, the boy's face was quiet and natural, and it seemed that he had done it many times. When the last stitch was finished, the boy let out a sigh of relief. Only then did everyone realize that there was sweat on the boy's forehead.
Seeing the boy's concentration on calm and he had been enduring the pain, the Ranger did not let the minstrel use "soothing technique" to relieve his pain, and just sat there quietly, watching the boy's hands beating flexibly.
"Sorry, there is no priest here, so I can only deal with it like this." The young man said that both the Ranger's "Healing Allies" and the Mage's "Ganlin Technique" can only treat some simple external injuries. After the leg is broken, unless the advanced priest performs the Great Recovery Skill, it is impossible to treat it well. Now I can only deal with it like this.
However, in this way, one of the leg of the ranger was ruined. Of course, the great rehabilitation technique can only be used by a level 6 priest, and it is extremely energy-consuming. As the ranger, I am afraid that no one can be found to help him heal.
Of course, "Healing Allies" and "Ganlin Technique" are not completely useless. After the boy treated his wound, the Ranger used healing allies on himself. A faint light flashed, and the sutured place had gradually grown. The Ranger, who had one leg missing, looked at the right leg that had broken knees that had become a stick, and was a little disappointed.
The Ranger who lost one leg can almost be said to be completely useless.
Except for Ranger, the injuries of several others were not serious. When the rumors were dealt with Ranger's wounds, they had already dealt with them. At this time, they had already taken the raw meat handed over by Shute and roasted it on the fire.
"Can you tell us what happened?" Shute asked while helping them prepare food.
The answer to them was the minstrel. It turned out that the minstrel was named Kurool, the Ranger's name was Thorin, and the wizard was Brosel. They were originally a team of seven. In addition to the three of them, there were three warriors and a thief. However, in that attack, only three of them escaped, and the other four, including the Ranger's animal companion, were basically wiped out without resistance.
Fortunately, the mage brought a relatively powerful magic item, and with the magic item, he escaped.
"That group of people are crazy!" said the mage Brosel, angrily, "What are the benefits of them doing this?"
"Of course there are their reasons." Shute smiled. If there was no benefit, no one would take such a big risk to do such a thing.
"I have a reluctance," said the minstrel Kuroer. "Since we are all attacked, they will not give up easily. Instead of facing the attacks of the enemy alone, we should unite and survive a little more."
Ranger did not answer, he lowered his head and pondered, obviously calculating the interests of it.
There is no doubt that the other party's three people were able to escape from the attacks of those people, and they were absolutely good at leaving them. It might be a helping hand. Although the ranger had broken one leg, Shute himself was a ranger. He knew what a ranger could do, even if he sat on the ground, he could still shoot an arrow.
The only question is whether they are trustworthy.
Just as they were discussing these things, Yao Yan returned to the Magic Motorcycle. He could only hear the sound of him rummaging down below. Soon he jumped out of the car, holding a lot of strange parts in his hand.
When he arrived in front of the lame ranger, Yao Yan whispered: "This may help you, at least make you stand up."
His hands started to move in a daze, and the fragments of parts gradually changed their appearance in Yao Yan's hands.
Above are several rings of varying thickness, and below is a slender metal stick. Below the metal stick is something that looks like the soles of the feet, many of which can even move.
He put the rings above on the broken-legged Ranger's thighs one by one. Ranger moved the muscles of his thighs. He was surprised to find that the metal soles had also squirmed.
"Now it's just an ordinary transmission device. If possible, you can install a magic device on your legs. That might make you run faster, but now it's all." Yao Yan smiled and said, "Stand up and take a look."
Ranger bent and stretched out his broken leg, supported his hand and stood up suddenly. Although his feet were a little unstable and he swung back and forth twice, he still stood firmly.
After trying to walk two steps, he couldn't get used to that feeling. The broken-legged Ranger felt a sense of ecstasy in his heart. He could feel that if he had trained diligently, this prosthetic limb was not an insurmountable obstacle.
"If you wear leather armor and put on boots, it should be difficult to see if you are skilled." Yao Yan said. His words are more comforting. The technology of prosthetic limbs in his previous life was very developed and could not be comparable to that of human bodies. This simple prosthetic limb is even more impossible, but Solin was very confident. He nodded to Yao Yan gratefully, but couldn't even say a word of thanks.
"If you use it well, maybe this prosthetic limb can become your secret weapon." Yao Yan said with a smile, then stopped talking. Now it was late at night, he yawned and drowsy.
"Little brother, what's your name?" Solin asked softly.
"My name is Yao Yan." Yao Yan said.
"Little brother, you are a very powerful mechanic." The minstrel complimented, "This is the first time I have seen such a young and promising mechanic."
"Actually he is not a mechanic." Xiuter glanced at the minstrel indifferently, "He is my Ranger Apprentice."
"It's all miscellaneous studies, miscellaneous studies!" Yao Yan smiled and said, "Actually, I am the acting president of the Thunder Guild. How about it? Are you interested in joining our guild?"
"Thunder Killing Guild? Acting President?" Brothel was a little unbelievable, "How old are you."
"Didn't you see it? This little brother is very capable." Thorin smiled and said, "We don't have any fixed guilds. If you don't dislike it, there is no problem joining your guild, but you have to leave these things alive before you can talk about them."
"Don't worry, leaving alive is not a problem, remember what you said." The boy smiled at him, then yawned again, and said, "I'm sleepy, I'm sleepy."
As he said that, he hugged one of the giant bear's big claws and retracted into the giant bear's soft fur, and soon a uniform snoring sounded.
The night wind blew, and the beating flames stretched and shortened the figures sitting in front of the flames...
