Future Combat Power (2)

The two of them returned to their hotel as quickly as possible. Fortunately, the first floor was crowded and noisy, so no one noticed them.

Alex let out a hiss as he dropped the torn canvas.

Inger took his hand and looked at it.

The places where the whale blood stained it looked like they were corroded into black scars.

The thin cloth clothes and pants also dissolved under the blood plasma.

"It's poison." Inger quickly pushed him into the bathroom.

After washing away the excess blood, Alex came out.

Inger frowned at the stench that lingered on him and took out his wand.

"Toxin extraction."

There were sporadic traces of blood and tiny black water droplets on the surface of the wounds on his body, and Alex also spat out a mouthful of black blood from his mouth.

Inger's brows knitted tighter: "It's the poison of the demon corpse."

Alex's face looked even uglier, and bloodshot appeared in his eyes. He knew this poison very well.

Tens of millions of people have died from this poison.

Just as he guessed, the whale was not from the Sea of ​​Repetition at all, but a creature of the demon clan.

I'm afraid it must have crossed the underwater rift of the Wall of Isolation and traveled across the ocean to come here.

Due to their physiological structure, demons are incompatible with other normal species in this world. After the corpses of demons decay, they will produce a kind of corpse poison. This corpse poison has no effect on demons, but has a great impact on humans and the original ecology of the Western Continent.

The ocean has a strong dilution ability, and the poison of the demon corpse will not have any effect, but the land is different.

Just as chemical waste discharged from chemical factories will affect a piece of land, this corpse poison will also seep into the soil and water sources, turning the land into a wasteland where no creature except the demons can survive.

The most toxic part is its blood, which can produce a corrosive effect similar to strong acid when it comes into contact with the skin.

If there is a large number of demon corpses, the stench produced by the decay will form a poisonous mist that covers the earth, and condense into poisonous rain that falls, which will completely eliminate all life from the sky to the ground.

They killed many demons in the war with them, but there was no time to deal with the corpses. By the time they realized the harmfulness of the corpse poison, the land had already been polluted.

People were poisoned and fell to the ground one after another. The wizards were outnumbered and the treatment they provided was like a drop in the bucket. There was nothing they could do.

Humans who die from the poison will become new breeding grounds for the poison, so they can only be burned.

The bodies of humans and demons were burned together.

The toxic smoke from burning cannot remain on clean land.

Tens of millions of humans died on the battlefield fighting the demons and were unable to return home.

Alex pounded his fist on the table.

Inger repaired his external injuries. He grabbed Alex's shoulders and said in a deep voice, "We don't have time to hesitate. Go find wizards and doctors who can treat him. I will go back to control the crowd and treat him."

Alex turned Inger's chin over and looked into his eyes and face. "How much mana do you have?"

Inger didn't blink and raised the four magic stones in his hand: "What do you think?"

Alex smiled, and then his expression turned pale. "I'll go with you. I'm afraid you can't control the people. After we go there, let the uninjured people go and call the knights in the area. If there are a few who do their job, they should be able to call people over. If not, it won't be of any use even if they do."

Inger tied his handkerchief around his face, hiding the lower half.

Alex had grown his stubble again, and looked much more mature than his actual age, but he still covered his face with a handkerchief.

They do not cover their faces just to cover their faces.

The repairing magic restored his skin to its original state. Alex immediately stood up and held Inger's hand tightly.

Inger tapped his wand to the ground.

The two were instantly transported back to the beach.

“It hurts so much!”

"I don't want it! My face! My hands!"

"Help! What is this?"

"Someone come and save him!"

“Don’t touch!”

…

The cheers turned into wails in the blink of an eye.

As soon as Inger landed, he felt a huge wave of magic power.

"who!"

Dozens of long swords were pointed at the two of them.

Alex protected Inger behind him and said in a low voice: "We are here to save people."

Two tall women walked out from among the knights.

The leader was about twenty years old, with short naturally curly hair and slightly brown skin. She was wearing a knight's light armor, revealing strong and beautiful arm and calf muscles. She held a dark blue scale-patterned halberd in her hand, exuding a strong aura.

The girl following closely behind her had fair and tender skin, with slightly curly long hair tied into a ponytail that fell to her waist. She was thin, with a small and delicate face and crystal clear eyes. She looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, and she held a white magic wand in her hand against her side.

Inger directed his gaze toward the person behind him, while Alex looked toward the front.

Not only do the two women look 70% similar, their eyes are the same color, purple-blue.

It's easy to guess the identities of the two people.

【They are sisters of the Hughes family. 】

The former Earl of Salaman Hughes had two daughters, the eldest daughter Shirley and the second daughter Michaelica.

The former Earl Hughes had no brothers, or even uncles, and the throne had been passed down for three or four generations. He had only two daughters. Both daughters were outstanding knights and wizards.

It's a pity that Qiu Nie has not yet amended the inheritance law, and women cannot inherit titles or the throne.

Therefore, after the death of Duke Hughes, he was unable to give the title to his daughter. Later, the emperor ordered a distant cousin of the same generation to inherit the dukedom, because in the family tree, he was the only man who could inherit the title alive.

This is the current Duke Pombo Hughes.

Sherin Hughes looked at Alex and said coldly, "Why don't you take off your veils?"

Inger pointed to the lower half of his face. "You can smell this stench, right? This is poisonous."

The sisters and the knights' faces changed drastically.

"Set up roadblocks, seal off the area, and cover the faces of all those present with breathable scarves. Bring all those who have returned home and are contaminated with the blood of dead whales to me. Bring clean water to wash the bodies, not sea water. No one should come into contact with corpses and blood. Call all wizards and medical staff to listen to my instructions." Inger said these quickly, put aside the sword, and walked straight forward.

He shouted, "Gather the injured people here. I will detoxify you all at once. The seriously injured will be given priority."

One of the injured recognized him as the man who had just cast a spell to move the whale's body.

"It's the wizard from before!"

"Master Wizard!"

"We are saved, get up quickly!"

"It hurts! Master Wizard!"

………

The injured man staggered forward with the help of others.

Sherlyn and Michaelica looked at each other.

Now both of them understood that the two masked men were here to help.

Xuelin waved her hand, "Do as he says! Wizards, doctors, nurses, come here!"

Michaelica walked up to Inger, raised her wand, and uttered the magic spell.

It was a simple "water" spell, but under the little girl's control, the huge column of water turned into a clear water dragon, gently washing every person contaminated by the poisonous blood.

Inger glanced at the little girl in surprise.

He could sense that the water-attributed magic was extremely powerful and pure. Coupled with this control power...

The smile on Michelle's young face was cute and reliable: "Master Wizard, please do what you should do."

Inger waited for the first wave of wounded to gather and raised his staff.

In fact, Inger can do this himself, but he wants to focus his magic on the treatment that only he can do.

"Toxin extraction."

The spells uttered by the strange wizard and the incantations on the magic circles that appeared under the feet of every wounded person were completely different from the spells she had learned since childhood.

Michaelica's eyes widened.

There were at least thirty casualties in front.

But he deployed so many magic circles at once.

Healing spells were beyond her purview, but she knew how difficult healing-related magic was to manipulate.

However, to this wizard, it was just a matter of moving his fingers.

The wand in his hand was like a conductor's baton.

As the venom floated into the air, blood oozed out of the mouth, and the wounded man's face looked much better.

Immediately afterwards, the epidermis corroded by the poisonous blood was repaired to its original state.

The amount of mana consumed to repair human tissue is extraordinary.

The consumed magic stones in Inger's hand kept falling to the ground.

Inger used up the four in his hand and held out his hand to Michaelica, "Do you have any magic stones?"

Moving the whale had already used up most of his magic power, so the magic power used to heal the wounded was no joke.

He could only replenish and output quickly.

His family owns several mountains of magic-storing magic stones, but it is inconvenient for him to replenish them when he is away from home, so he can only ask for them from others.

Michaelica was stunned for a moment, then quickly took out a few blue magic stones and placed them in his hands.

While absorbing and treating, Inger said, "You need to get treated as soon as possible. It's not good for your health if you delay. I won't return this. I'm a citizen of your territory anyway."

Michaelica looked at his hands and nodded dumbly.

She had never seen a wizard who could absorb and output magic power seamlessly.

This amount of magic power is beyond the ability of a normal wizard to withstand.

"Are you a great wizard?" Michaelica couldn't help asking.

"How is that possible?" Inger sneered.

[The total amount of mana in the magic furnace is still too little... No wonder Teacher Bixi always says... It's never enough when it comes time to use it.]

Wizards above level 8 can be called great wizards. However, in Qiu Nie, or even in the Western Continent, there are only a handful of wizards at level 8.

Inger had never taken a level test, nor did he want to. He knew that he was pretty powerful, but he wouldn't become a great wizard all of a sudden.

Michaelica watched him cast the spell.

She suddenly said, "But I'm already level five. You're so much more powerful than me, why aren't you a great wizard?"

Inger was concentrating on casting the spell and didn't turn his head to look at her, and cold sweat quietly broke out on his face.

[There is also a genius here...]

Alex and Elena are the protagonists, so it is understandable that they level up quickly, but what about this little girl?

[The characters that didn't appear in the later part...did they die? ]

He hadn't seen these two characters in the comics, Duke of East Hughes or Pombo.

He learned about them when he was reviewing the genealogies of the great dukes.

One of the first possibilities that comes to mind is that they died while dealing with the whale explosion.

After all, if someone who doesn't understand whale explosions tries to handle it, they are likely to get hurt.

[These two girls may become one of Alex's fighting forces. ]

Thinking of this, he relaxed a little.

The more reserve forces Alex has, the greater his chances of winning. He won't have to worry about survival, let alone going to the battlefield.

"There's a huge gap between wizards at levels 6-8, and my level may not be higher than yours." Inger explained patiently with the ignorant and naive attitude of a child.

The incredulity in Michaelica's eyes was about to hit him in the face, but Inger pretended not to see it.

While they were chatting, the injured had almost recovered.

It took less than half an hour to recover from such severe erosion to being completely intact.

"Thank you, wizard!"

Inger always had the illusion that he was changing his profession to become a doctor. He said softly, "Don't be careless. There is still some poison left in your body. Go back and take medicine and recuperate."

"Next one."

Repair is more delicate than detoxification and can only be done one by one.

Medical staff and other wizards assisted Inger with follow-up treatment.

Alex followed the knights around and captured people and brought them back for treatment.

They also put up a warning sign, "Toxins have not yet dissipated near the coast, fishing is temporarily suspended, do not eat dead fish, and be cautious when eating live fish."

Although the ocean has a strong dilution capacity, who can guarantee that the marine life that eats whale meat will not die or carry venom? At least this sea area should not be approached in the near future.

Those who have experienced the whale explosion are probably still frightened, but there is no guarantee that other people will not encounter accidents. Xuelin arranged for a team of cavalry to guard the area.

The blood and flesh on the beach still need to be cleaned up. Fortunately, this is not a planting area, so the impact is not great.
