Chapter 40 Cutting off the arm
In the next few days, they rested on the flat ground with umbrellas during the day, and traveled quickly at night, killing all the alien species they encountered.
Lou Su was in charge of close combat, Chu Xihen was in charge of long-range combat, and Ling Yao was in charge of cheering and being cute at the side.
There was no other way. The harsh environment had killed all the small animals he could control. Even if he had something to control, those things wouldn't stand up to being beaten.
After another battle, Chu Xihen was so exhausted that he collapsed on Lou Su.
Ling Yao saw the cards hanging on a pile of alien corpses and rubbed her hands excitedly, "Can I touch the corpses? I think I'm lucky."
Chu Xihen didn't have the courage to say this, so he kept silent and let Lou Su make the decision.
Lou Su didn't care, "Go and try to see if you can get it."
Lingyao nodded and happily ran over to touch the body.
They had been killing hundreds of aliens for several days, but only two cards dropped at this moment. The drop rate of these cards was incredible.
Fortunately, killing aliens can improve the proficiency of superpowers and upgrade superpowers, so it is not a bad thing.
Chu Xihen took out the Wanjian Qifa and took a look. There were still half of the arrows left.
"I found this card quite useful. I will be a long-range archer in the future. When I run out of it, I will buy one from the trade mall." He said to Lousui.
"Okay." Lou Su always responded to Chu Xihen's requests.
When the next copy comes out, he will buy a [Ten Thousand Arrows] from Chu Xihen in the trade mall.
"Ah!" As the two were talking, Ling Yao, who was going to get the card, suddenly screamed.
Chu Xihen turned over and sat up. They looked towards Ling Yao and saw a small green-haired wolf hanging on the arm of the unlucky child.
The two men rushed over quickly, but the green-haired wolf in Lingyao's hand was extremely agile and jumped to the ground and ran away.
Chu Xihen drew his bow and shot an arrow, killing the green-haired wolf.
The moment the green-haired wolf died, another card floated into the air.
But he didn't care about the cards now, so he turned around and looked at Lingyao's arm.
Ling Yao was bitten hard by the green-haired wolf, and there were teeth marks with green liquid on her arm.
"Brother Chu, I'm going to die, I'm infected!" Ling Yao cried.
There are currently three types of alien species: the green-haired wolf, the blue armored beetle, and the purple poisonous konjac. If you are entangled in the branches of the poisonous konjac, you will not be infected even if you are stained with purple liquid, but your skin and flesh will be corroded by the venom.
However, if one comes into contact with the venom of the poisonous konjac, or is bitten by a crustacean or a green wolf, one will be infected and become like a zombie.
Ling Yao is in the worst situation now, as his arm was bitten by the green-haired wolf.
Chu Xihen ignored his crying and changed the disinfectant to disinfect the wound.
Lou Su checked the pile of alien corpses again, and only walked back after confirming that there were no survivors. When he saw Ling Yao's wounds, he remained silent.
After bandaging Lingyao's wound, Chu Xihen went over and picked up the cards back. Chu Xihen also collected the two cards on the pile of alien corpses.
Ling Yao ran over happily to touch the corpse, but not only did he fail to pick up the last card, he was also bitten by the alien.
"That green-haired wolf looks so small, has it mutated for the second time?" Ling Yao asked Chu Xihen in a crying voice.
A normal green-haired wolf is about the same size as a real wolf, but the one that just bit Ling Yao is about the size of a squirrel.
This was also a big reason why he was attacked. He never imagined that there was such a small and cute green-haired wolf hidden in the pile of corpses.
"It should be." Chu Xihen looked at the card he got, "It's a weapon card."
The name of the card is [Arrow out of Nothingness], and the small print says: There is no arrow in your hand, but there is an arrow in your heart. As long as you are a good archer, your arrows will be endless.
It’s a rare serious introduction, and for Chu Xihen it’s exactly the weapon card he needs.
Even he was lucky enough to get a card of such high quality, it was hard to say that the green-haired wolf was not an elite among the alien species.
In comparison, the two cards on the Lousu side are very ordinary.
A picture called "Fake Spoon": Do you think this is a spoon? No, you are wrong, it is actually a knife. Are you surprised? Are you surprised?
There is another one: [Beautiful Water Bottle]: Although it is very beautiful, it is just an ordinary water bottle!
These two are the real trash cards, and they are totally incomparable to the noble [Umbrella].
But Lou Su still put them away. After all, they were all placed in the portable mall and didn’t take up much space.
Although the initial grid of the mall has only three grids, all cards can be placed in one grid, and the mall will directly filter out the required cards based on the user's thinking, which is very convenient.
After reading the card, Ling Yao started wailing again.
"Brother Chu, I'm really going to die. I'm going to turn into a zombie." He had just spent a few days like a normal person with Chu Xihen, and it was going to end so soon. He really didn't want to let go!
Chu Xihen searched his mall but couldn't find any medicine to treat the infection. He also didn't have any healing abilities, so he really couldn't help Ling Yao.
Lou Su spoke up at this time: "Don't panic, you should still be able to save him. We will most likely enter a dungeon tonight, and then we can see if there are any healing skills or medicine to treat the infection."
Being infected doesn't mean you will go crazy and mutate immediately. There is still a process. I hope Lingyao can hold on until the dungeon is opened.
"Oh, I forgot about that." Ling Yao instantly regained his spirits, "I must get out of this dungeon alive!"
Chu Xihen comforted him, "Don't worry, even if there are no healing skills and medicines in the dungeon, I will kill you before you mutate and won't let you turn into a monster."
Ling Yao cried again, "Brother Chu, don't be angry with me. Speed up the blood circulation. I might become a mutant before I even enter the dungeon."
"There is actually another way." Chu Xihen looked at Ling Yao's hand, "Cut off the arm before the poison enters the body."
This is indeed a way to solve the problem, which is more reliable than entering a dungeon to look for skills. He did not tell Ling Yao to cut off his arm at the first time because he knew that the other party would definitely not be able to make a decision in a short time.
He also calculated the time. If it was really too late, he would not give Lingyao any time to prepare mentally and would just take action directly.
"Then I choose to cut off my arm." Ling Yao looked at Chu Xihen with tears in her eyes, "Brother Chu, if I become disabled, you won't abandon me, right?"
Ling Yao is very weak now, with no points and no superpowers. If he loses another hand, his future life will be even more difficult. Without a strong support, it will be difficult for him to survive.
"It depends on your performance." Chu Xihen gave an unclear answer.
He mainly wanted to see to what extent Lingyao's ability could develop. After all, this was a kind of supernatural power he had never seen before.
Ling Yao gritted her teeth and said, "Brother Chu, lend me a knife!"
We can talk about the future later, now he must avoid being infected.
Chu Xihen bought a sharp machete from the mall for Lingyao, with the main purpose of helping Lingyao escape quickly.
Ling Yao held the machete, raised his left hand, closed his eyes and chopped himself off with the knife. The clean and sharp move surprised Chu Xihen and Lou Su.
