Chapter 77
==================
"That's it."
Lanna whispered, "The noise the little frog heard also came from there."
Everyone rushed towards the cave.
The pendant had been broken, and Lian Yun could only hold the empty necklace and rush over nervously.
As they walked through the complex maze and entered the cave, they found something wrong.
Lanna and Lianyun looked at each other.
The latter nodded affirmatively: "The water level is rising."
The water level was originally some distance away from the shore, but now it has submerged the shore and is rising at a slow but uninterrupted rate.
Even more dangerous.
The person behind him didn't even bother to roll up his trouser legs and waded through the shallow water to look for the cave.
"Sir, over here!"
Suddenly someone shouted in a rapid voice, and it was obvious that the situation was not good.
Lian Yun and Lan Na rushed over, only to see that the original water outlet had been cracked by the explosion, and the stone wall surrounding the outlet was in pieces, as if it had been broken apart by someone.
Near the water surface at their feet, a pale hand with bulging veins stretched out, clutching the shore tightly, and was climbing up with difficulty.
When everyone saw him, most of his body had already climbed onto the shore, but was still immersed in the water.
The palms of his hands, which he used to hold onto the ground, were covered in blood. The moment he heard the footsteps of the crowd, he finally fainted out of relief.
"Luo!"
Lian Yun cried out in surprise, and everyone worked together to pull him up, only to find that Luo had multiple cuts on his shoulders and sides, with blood oozing out of the wounds. The red blood was mixed with strands of blue. Lana only took a look with a serious expression.
"He was injured internally."
Otherwise, blue blood would not flow out. This is the body structure of the vampires.
If blue blood is found flowing out, it means that the internal organs have been injured, or in other words... a fatal injury.
After hearing this explanation, Lian Yun called out his name again and again: "Luo, can you hear me?"
The pale-skinned boy still had his eyes closed.
Lian Yun subconsciously wanted to grab his hand to feel if he was trembling, but found that his other hand was tightly holding something and would not let go.
Lian Yun tried to calm himself down, looked at Lana, and said in a much calmer voice: "Send him back first."
Everyone hurriedly carried the unconscious Luo back to the town. Lian Yun and Lana waited for a while, but the water level continued to rise.
They are waiting for the little frog.
Not long after, Lanner shook his head: "It moved forward."
"Forward?" Lian Yun repeated, and saw Lana leading him out.
When they reached the outer cave, Lanna looked back at the large frog, which was already partially submerged in water. "It's time for them to leave. This cave will soon be filled with water."
The water outlet is many times larger than before, and the speed of water entering is also increasing.
Lanna and Lianyun took one last look at the cave and walked out together.
You can also see the group of people who took care of Luo back to the town. They followed him silently all the way back to the town.
Sure enough, after settling Luo here, Lana, who was waiting at the river, brought the little frog back.
The little frog only had some minor skin injuries, and he had already controlled the big frogs to rush to the farm in the small town.
Seeing it jumping around so lively, Lian Yun no longer worried about it.
Pharmacist Louis rushed over with Nora. Nora was holding several bottles of medicine in her arms. She looked healthier and walked much faster than before.
Nora followed Louis into Luo's room. When she saw Lian Yun, an expression of gratitude flashed across her face, but she knew very well that now was not the time to reminisce about the past, so she only had time to hurriedly bow.
She put the bottles and jars aside and waited for Louis' instructions.
Louis checked Luo's injuries, and his frown not only did not relax, but deepened.
Lian Yun's heart began to lift. "Is it serious? Lana said his internal organs might be injured as well."
Louis paused his inspection and sighed softly, "As Lord Lanner said, Luo's body has been hit and squeezed, and he's been deprived of oxygen for a long time. His current condition is not good."
"Can it be cured?" Lian Yun stared at him closely.
"Cure?" Louis twitched his lips. "My Lord, you know there's no such thing as resurrection on this continent. Everything has its own laws."
"Even your medicine bottle can only heal external injuries, let alone me who just copied the formula of the first-generation herbs. If even you can't do it, how can I heal it?"
Louis glanced at Lian Yun, whose expression was slightly disturbed, and simply stated his plan in one breath: "Take Nora. You can see that she is much healthier, but her heart disease still exists. All I can do is help her live a healthier daily life. She will still live several years less than people of the same age."
Lian Yun glanced at the boy who was breathing quietly.
His external injuries healed after using two bottles of medicine, but the scars of varying depths showed that everything had happened.
Lian Yun's throat tightened a little: "Is there no other way?"
Louis lowered his head, as if thinking about something.
Lian Yun sensed there was room for maneuver and quickly asked.
"Actually, I've had some ideas since the day the adults asked me to grow poisonous weeds." Louis raised his head and stroked his beard.
"Poisonous weed?" Lian Yun was stunned.
This was what she prepared in advance for going to the Elf Forest.
Because there is poisonous fog in the Elf Forest, it is necessary to research something that can resist the toxin in advance.
The purpose of cultivating poisonous weeds is to simulate the environment.
Louis continued, "Nora's health isn't good, and I've been looking through my old collection of books, trying to find any herbs or methods that can heal the body from the inside."
"It was the recent inspiration that the adults asked me to cultivate poisonous weeds that gave me this."
"Since the Elven Forest can cast poisonous fog, it means they are definitely not afraid of being eroded by it. I looked through some old books and they mentioned that elves have the ability to heal."
Lian Yun's eyes lit up, she certainly knew what this meant.
As a pharmacist, Louis knew how to make full use of this.
"The elves' healing abilities aren't extracted through countless trials and tribulations like we make medicine. They absorb the essence of nature from plants and trees, and it's an innate gift. So I think they might have the ability to heal others from the inside out."
It has the meaning of taking the essence of heaven and earth, and is therefore absolutely pure and harmless.
"What you said makes sense." Lian Yun nodded in agreement.
Why didn't she think of it? Lina never needed to take medicine when she was injured, and she would heal automatically after a while.
This is the talent of the elves!
But Gerry on the side hesitantly shook his head: "Lina has been raised by me since she was a child, and she has never shown any healing ability..."
If she had such ability, the people around her would have known it long ago, and when they saw Garin injured, they would have treated him at all costs.
In other words, if she had such ability, there would be no need to hide it.
Lina's personality is not something that can be hidden.
"Perhaps it's because Lina is a mixed-blood?" Louis already knew that Lina had elven blood. "The dilution of the bloodline might cause the weakening of her abilities."
For example, a succubus half-blood is not much more powerful than a pure-blooded succubus.
This is true for all races.
"No matter what, this is indeed a breakthrough." Lian Yun nodded solemnly. "So how's the anti-virus research going?"
She sent a few shark skins to Louis's pharmacy in advance, wanting to test whether this thing could be waterproof, fireproof and anti-toxic.
"It's starting to show results. Some low-level poisonous weeds can't penetrate the fish skin, which proves it does have anti-toxin capabilities. As for the full extent of the effectiveness, we'll have to wait a few more days."
Shark skin is breathable, and if it can be used to prevent poison, it can be made into a simple gas mask.
Defeat magic with magic.
"Although Luo's condition is not too serious, he has been injured internally. If he is not treated in time, his condition will probably get worse." Louis said this at last.
Lian Yun understood what he meant, nodded, and said, "Then please speed up your research. Once your results come out, we will take Luo and Nora to the forest."
She also desperately hopes that Luo can get good treatment.
"Give it a try anyway."
Lian Yun looked at Luo lying on the bed.
She would never feel at ease if she didn't try her best.
Suddenly, she noticed the trembling of Luo's arm.
Lian Yun opened his eyes wide, walked to the bed and stared at him without blinking.
"Luo?"
Luo seemed to respond when he heard the call, and his long eyelashes, as light as feathers, trembled slightly.
"Sir." He did not open his eyes, but responded to Lian Yun first.
His voice was as hoarse as the day he first arrived in the town, and he was as calm and composed as ever: "Sir, I'm fine."
The first thing he did was to comfort Lian Yun. Lian Yun felt that this child was so sensible that it made him feel distressed.
Luo stretched out his hand and groped for something beside him: "I lost my gauze, but there's some in the drawer. Can you help me get it?"
He was talking about the black gauze covering the eyes. Lian Yun quickly stood up and rummaged through the drawer next to him, which contained several neatly arranged strips of black gauze.
Lian Yun took out one and was about to hand it to him, but Luo retracted his hand, sat up, and lowered his head slightly.
Lian Yun was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to react. He pulled the two ends of the black gauze and gently tied it behind his head.
"Thank you, sir." Luo's voice was slightly smiling. He took the cup of water handed to him by Lian Yun and took a sip to moisten his throat.
Lian Yun didn't have any temper at all. When she learned that Luo was seriously injured, she was only worried. Even if he asked her to cook a meal for him right now, it would definitely be no problem...
"Do you remember what happened?" Lian Yun asked.
"Of course." Luo smiled, his lips curled up. "The quarry collapsed, and I accidentally stepped on air and fell in. Because the water was flowing too fast, I hit several rocks and got scratched in many places."
He touched the painful area and found it had already scabbed over. He knew it was from the medicine he had been fed.
"The water flow was too fast. I choked a few times when I fell into the water. As soon as I recovered, I was washed away by the water. Later, we came to a fork in the water. I was afraid of hitting the rocks again, so I chose the gentlest one." Luo said in detail.
Lian Yun glanced at Lana and found that it was exactly as he had judged.
"And then?" Her gaze shifted to Luo again.
The young man seemed to be telling a story that had nothing to do with him, without any panic or fear.
"After swimming along the current for a while, the waterway became narrower and narrower, and I couldn't swim through it anymore. I choked on water several times."
He could feel his nasal cavity and stomach filling with water, and he was about to suffocate.
It was too late to swim back, so he could only grope around for a while.
Suddenly, he touched a narrow water hole.
He could feel through the water hole that the surrounding stone walls were very thin, as if...
"It will break into pieces once it explodes?" Lian Yun continued.
"That's right. Then I used the ruby, using the energy generated by its explosion to create cracks in the stone wall. Actually, I prepared it for you, my lord, but I didn't expect to use it first."
He used all his strength to tear the thin stone wall with his bare hands and climbed out.

The author has something to say:
Woohoo, we, Lolo, have suffered so much!
Actually, Luo is another type of male protagonist that I like.
He looks weak but is calm and composed, and can explode when necessary.
