Chapter 15: Aid



The big guy named Lu quickly placed a large plate of food in front of Du Yuqi and said with a warm smile:

"If you hadn't appeared, I swear Mecca would still be in a coma! It must be the gods who brought you to us, come and taste my cooking!"

Although the full plate of food in front of him didn't look very good, and it looked like curry chicken, Du Yuqi found it very delicious as soon as he took a bite. There were also pieces of unknown meat with great chewiness in it, which tasted very delicious when chewed. Du Yuqi was extremely hungry to begin with, and he ate the whole plate in a hurry. Lu then gave him another full spoonful, and laughed:

"This is a delicacy I made with wine I bought from Hutton Mar and black octopus tentacles from the west coast. It also has a special ingredient, celestial pearl powder. Come on, eat more. You're welcome."

A group of people were eating and chatting. When Du Yuqi went to get some water, he noticed that the mechanical gloves that Black Axe had thrown aside had the words "Norton Technology" written on them. He couldn't help but feel that they looked familiar, so he asked:

"This Norton seems to be a person's name?"

Lu immediately said seriously:

"He is the greatest scientist in thousands of years. He was the one who promoted the use of small crystal energy in daily life. He is the founder of crystal technology. Although he has been dead for hundreds of years, the light of his wisdom still shines on us."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Du Yuqi nodded.

It is not an exaggeration to describe a person who can be easily remembered and appreciated even after hundreds of years of death as great. However, he felt more and more that he seemed to have heard the name Norton somewhere before, but he still couldn't remember it, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

After eating, Du Yuqi placed the sword he had obtained next to the campfire and went around to look for some herbs. Putting aside the aches and pains all over his body, the large blisters on his hands also needed treatment.

When he came back, he saw Hei Fu holding his sword with a serious expression, and then asked Du Yuqi:

"Where did you get this weapon?"

"Before I met you, I encountered a very strange and powerful monster insect. I managed to kill it with great difficulty. I found two corpses in the temporary nest of the monster insect. This weapon was found next to one of the corpses."

Du Yuqi simply told him everything that had happened before. After listening to him, Hei Axe was silent for a while. He asked a few questions about the corpse's clothing. Then he closed his eyes and sat down beside the fire in pain. He covered his face with his hands, and his shoulders trembled slightly. He looked very unstable.

However, Lu and the others were quite shocked and said:

"Can you tell me more about what that strange insect looks like?"

Du Yuqi simply took off the "insect shell armor" on his body, threw it over and said:

"Well, this thing was pulled off from that strange insect. I saw that it was quite light, so I used it to make a temporary thing to protect myself."

Lu immediately took the insect shell breast mirror and looked at it over and over again. Finally, he looked at Du Yuqi with respect and admiration in his eyes:

"That's right, what you encountered was the adult of the Lu Gu! This thing is extremely ferocious. It will devour each other since it is a larva, and it will feed on its own brothers and sisters. It is really too difficult to deal with! It is said that it can only be seen in a ruin buried deep underground. Its ferocity and madness are far superior to other monsters."

"Once injured, the fluids flowing out of it can even corrode weapons! No wonder those red goblins ran away when they saw you. They were obviously afraid of this. Even when we encounter it, we usually have to avoid it. How did you kill it?"

Du Yuqi shrugged and smiled bitterly:

"When I encountered this monster, it was already badly injured and looked to be in a very bad condition. It was difficult for it to chase me. In the end, I took advantage of the terrain and a broken logging mecha to kill it... What happened to Black Axe?"

Mecca shrugged:

"Black Axe has always liked a girl."

He looked back at the big man and said with some regret:

"Unfortunately, the girl's neighbor was a businessman. In order to save time, this money-loving guy passed through the cursed Hamulin area. As a result, he fell ill on his way home and spread the terrible plague to the town... Before she died, the girl begged Black Axe to take care of her brother."

At this point, Mecca sighed:

"If I'm not mistaken, the sword you're using now was bought with the money that Black Axe saved for three years. It's said to be a fine product produced by the most famous Iron Pillar Weapon Shop in Xu's motherland, Du Sunan. It's a rare inherited equipment called the mysterious Silver Lake Narcissus Katana."

"Just three months ago, Black Axe gave this weapon to the girl's brother Xiaofei as a birthday present. When we were attacked this time, the rear team that Xiaofei was in suffered the strongest attack..."

After hearing what Mecca said, Du Yuqi could only sigh, walked to Black Axe's side, handed him the weapon, and whispered:

"Please accept my condolences. I see that his wound is on his chest, so... he probably didn't suffer too much before he passed away."

Black Axe shook his head, and after a while he choked up and said:

"Thank you. I am satisfied to have the confirmed news. This sword is useless to me, so I will give it to you. Strictly speaking, I should thank you for avenging him."

Since he said so, Du Yuqi did not act pretentiously and put the sword back. After the two sides continued to talk for a while, Du Yuqi picked out the large blood blisters on his hands, chewed up the herbs he had collected and applied them on the blisters. The burning sensation immediately felt much better, and then he fell into a deep sleep wrapped in a blanket.

When they woke up the next morning, they heard intermittent rumbling explosions. Of course, Du Yuqi was the last to wake up. When he hurriedly got up, the others were already fully armed and on high alert. Black Axe was already activating his mechanical gloves and yelling:

"Enemy attack, enemy attack! The explosion was clearly caused by Gore and his men using electric grenades. We have to go and rescue them!"

The group of people didn't even have time to pack up their camp and rushed to the scene of the incident.

At this time, Du Yuqi noticed one thing. That is, the people who had been treated by him yesterday and drank the alchemical recovery potion were able to walk almost on their own after a night's rest. Such a recovery speed really amazed him.

Du Yuqi didn't know that he was particularly surprised by this level of recovery, and the others also had an incredible feeling.

Although alchemical potions heal quickly, they also cause many sequelae and side effects. Of course, the clergy also have some basic battlefield first aid techniques, but they are all passed down orally and accumulated through experience. There is no systematic teaching, unlike first aid on Earth which is all in a thick book.

Moreover, if the wound is sutured without being cleaned and treated with alchemical potions, foreign matter will grow in the flesh. You may not feel anything at the time, but over time it will cause painful ulcers. If the bone-setting technique is not good, deformities or limited functions will form after healing.
