Chapter 472 [(*^▽^*)]
Jiang Changdong knew that although the gold-plated healing potion was very effective, if he wanted to return to normal, he would have to use more. As for how many potions were needed to fully heal him, he couldn't say for sure. He only knew that he had a finger cut off by a BOSS in a certain dungeon before, and he only needed one dose to fully recover.
Of course, it's unknown how much of the medicine's effectiveness was wasted during this period. After all, his other wounds gradually healed after he fully recovered, so let's try again now.
If he could go back and retrieve his severed arm, that would be ideal. However, he was worried that the person who attacked him was still there, and being followed and having his current location exposed would be a greater loss than gain.
There was no other way. Although Jiang Changdong was cautious, he decided to send some miniature puppets to search the area first. If they could find something, great; if not... then they would make further plans.
He casually released some tiny mechanical puppets, about twenty in total, each the size of a fingernail. Although they were small, they were quite fast and disappeared from the vicinity in no time.
Jiang Changdong took out a display screen, which showed the images captured by these mechanical puppets in real time. It was similar to Lin Leyou's mechanical spiders, but Lin Leyou's mechanical spiders could see the images and hear the sounds directly without the aid of these screens.
However, Lin Leyou and his group did not know that Jiang Changdong had sent back the surveillance equipment so quickly. But just because they did not know did not mean they could not detect it. Before long, they saw the red dot on their watches light up.
Xue Rui: "It's obvious it was him. Let's see who attacked him."
Lin Leyou said with a smile, "Let him watch if he wants. We're not shameful. It would be best if he saw us and came back to fight us to the death right now, which would be a good way to get rid of him."
Upon hearing this, Xue Rui stood there casually, exchanging a few words with the other person from time to time, seemingly unaware that they were being watched. Jiang Changdong, of course, noticed their interaction.
Jiang Changdong's pupils constricted sharply upon seeing their images. "It's him...it really is him! Yes, who else would go to such lengths to ambush me? This is revenge!"
"Heh!" Jiang Changdong sneered, "So what if it was a sneak attack? I still survived. Just wait, once I'm healed, I'll definitely kill you, and..."
His gaze fell on the person next to Lin Leyou... Zheng Li? That's right, this person is Zheng Li. He had felt that there was something wrong with this person from the beginning, but he didn't expect that he was actually in cahoots with Lin Leyou.
Jiang Changdong narrowed his eyes slightly, "Whose was that prop that ambushed me with just now? What kind of prop was it?"
"Explosive bullet?" He shook his head. "It doesn't seem like it. This bullet seems to be invisible, but its power is really strong. With such strong power, and it's for a sneak attack, it probably can't be used many times, or it has a long cooldown time."
Jiang Changdong calmed down. "Forget it, let's find my arm first and go find them after it's fully healed. But... the gold-plated defensive item that was stolen from me is a big problem!"
"Sigh..." Jiang Changdong still felt a burning hatred when he thought of that prop. Even after so much time had passed, he still hated it. "I have to find a time when he doesn't use the prop, otherwise no matter how powerful my attacks are, he can defend against them. It's such a hassle."
Honestly, if Jiang Xiaoyue hadn't been sent to that dungeon that would take years to get out by his wife, he would beat her up every time he saw her. If he could use his daughter to get the items back, he would agree without hesitation!
The search for the arm was simple; it was lying where it had fallen earlier, in weeds taller than a person, and in just a few minutes, it had already attracted many small insects.
Upon seeing the tiny insects crawling on his arm, he immediately realized that this arm could not be delayed and had to be transported back immediately.
He observed the distance between the arm and Lin Leyou and the other person. Not bad, this position was actually a blind spot for them, with some tall bushes blocking their view!
Jiang Changdong breathed a slight sigh of relief, controlling his mechanical puppet to slowly raise its arm and then gradually move away from that position. The whole process was quite easy.
About twenty minutes later, he withdrew his arm, and Lin Leyou and the others hadn't noticed anything... Wait a minute! Jiang Changdong checked the monitoring device he was using and found it was showing a red light!
"What's going on? It wasn't here just a moment ago, how did it appear so quickly... Could it have come with the puppet? Oh! Is it pretending not to notice so the puppet can lead the way?"
He was a little flustered and was about to leave, but then he remembered that the puppet he left behind was seeing that the two people hadn't chased after him at all and were still in the same place. What was going on?
"Watching me, but not hunting me down? This..." He stroked his chin, not leaving for the time being, but taking out a large basin from his backpack, pouring in a special kind of alien water, and then putting his arm, which was crawling with small insects, into it. After soaking in it for about three to five minutes, all the small insects on his arm died and sank to the bottom. In addition, some tiny insect eggs also fell out of the flesh and were killed one by one.
Jiang Changdong looked at the things at the bottom of the water, and his lips twitched. "So many insects and eggs in such a short time, that's impressive..."
He casually took out a testing device, looked it over his arm, and only after confirming that there were no problems did he prepare to reattach his arm.
With the help of the gold-plated healing potion, it took him about an hour and four more doses of the potion to fully heal himself. This treatment used a total of five doses of the gold-plated healing potion, which was very painful!
You should know that premium healing potions cost millions per dose—they're incredibly expensive! And they're single-use; they can't be reused, after all, they're medicine…
"Lin Leyou, Zheng Li, just you wait, I'll definitely kill you!"
After recovering from his injuries, Jiang Changdong calmed down and realized something was amiss. "I clearly saw Xiushan Village flash by just now. These two have obviously discovered Xiushan Village, so why aren't they looking for the treasure? Instead, they're just lying there ambushing me?"
Jiang Changdong's lips twitched. Was it because they discovered he was the fastest to leave besides them that they were simply planning to ambush him?
Now that I've left that place and run so far away, why are these two still staying in the same spot?
"They weren't carrying any weapons; they were very cautious. If I could see them, I could at least deduce the weapon's level, attack method, and power, but..."
Jiang Changdong slowly got up. He did not leave immediately, but instead had the mechanical puppets outside check the surrounding area to make sure it was safe before leaving.
Lin Leyou: "This person moved again. It seems they've healed their injuries? So quickly?"
Xue Rui then remembered the arm that had been blown off, but it was too late to find it. He only found the spot where the arm had fallen, the marks it left in the grass, some bloodstains scattered around, and some small pieces of flesh stuck to the weeds.
"The arm is gone; it must have been taken away. Jiang Changdong must have been spying on us with the surveillance cameras and took the arm back when we weren't paying attention."
Lin Leyou didn't care at all. "Take it back if you want. He'll definitely need to heal his injuries before he can move again. Look, he's moving now, isn't he?"
Xue Rui looked at the direction and speed of the red dot representing Jiang Changdong's movement, "Indeed... this speed should mean he's healed. I didn't expect that he could heal such a serious injury in such a short time."
Lin Leyou didn't care. "So what? The system shop has gold-grade healing potions. You can find them by searching. They're available for purchase, but they're a bit expensive."
Xue Rui certainly knew that the gold-plated healing potion was indeed very expensive, costing millions of points per dose. Just looking at it made him feel the pinch. "I guess they've used quite a few."
Lin Leyou gloated, "Isn't that right? They must have used several doses. They must be in so much pain, since they didn't need to suffer this injury originally. It was because of my sneak attack..."
Xue Rui: "It's a pity we didn't deliver the fatal blow."
Lin Leyou said, "I knew this old guy was tough. It's alright. Judging from the direction he's moving, he's going to go around to Xiushan Village. It's fine. Anyway, there are other surprises waiting for him in Xiushan Village."
Xue Rui glanced in the direction of Xiushan Village. In his and Lin Leyou's eyes, Xiushan Village was a very normal village. Although the houses were old, it was clear that people lived there, and everything was very tidy.
I wonder if others see it the same way, or if they see it differently? At Jiang Changdong's current speed, he probably won't reach the village until evening. Let's wait and see.
Lin Leyou's gaze fell on the red dot representing Xue Qian. Xue Qian and most of the other survivors had already crossed the river, leaving only a few scattered individuals still wandering behind. They seemed to be lost and unable to find their companions, probably trying to find their way out.
Lin Leyou said, "Those who found the way have basically crossed the river. Most of them are in the graveyard and near the ghost spider and weasels. A small number have already reached the cliff. We should be able to see the others around noon."
Xue Rui: "Then... shall we go back and prepare lunch? We can bring it here to eat, so we won't have to go back to cook lunch, how about that?"
Lin Leyou looked at the red dots on the map. Apart from Jiang Changdong, the rest of the people were indeed a little far away. "Alright, let's go back now. I wonder if they will still be in the village when we get back."
