It was as if the physical strength was completely drained by a vacuum machine. The battle, which seemed not to last very long, had overdrawn all the physical strength of the body. At this moment, there was even a slight tinnitus.
My heart was still beating rapidly and my breathing was wheezing like a broken bellows.
Riva noticed the faint light on his hand, like a glowing fireball coming to life.
In the distance, Lao Pisili and a dozen other Nan Ming were still in shock, and even looked a little dazed, as if they were in a dream.
"Father Pisili, am I seeing right? He...defeated the troll?"
Old Pisili also had a look of shock on his face, his mouth wasn't even closed, and when he heard this, he added something in a daze.
"Four!"
Shock, immense shock and astonishment. This is the bewilderment of having common sense overturned, but there is also the peace of mind that one's own life is protected.
The children who were protected by women, children and young adults looked extremely excited. If it weren't for the strange expressions on the adults' faces, they would have almost cheered at this moment.
Yui reacted faster than anyone else. She jumped down from the tree where she had previously hidden and rushed towards Riva.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Riva, you're awesome!!! You did it!!"
The cheerful laughter dragged the flowing long hair forward, "waking up" everyone.
Riva felt himself being hugged by Yui all of a sudden, his exhausted and shaky body swaying back and forth as Yui shook him, and the others now also gathered around cautiously.
"Hiss!!! Youyi, be gentle, it hurts!!!"
At this moment, the intense pain from the wound behind my shoulder became more and more obvious.
"Oh, sorry, let me bandage you up! Does anyone have a clean cloth and medicine?"
The first half of the sentence was addressed to Riva, and the second half to Yui to the approaching refugees.
"Yes, yes, yes!!! I have medicine!!! And a clean cloth!!"
"Hurry, hurry, where's the medicine!!"
"It's on the beast cart, I'll get it!!"
…
A group of people were in a panic, while some people carefully surrounded the troll's body but did not dare to get close. Every time the troll's body twitched, the crowd would immediately disperse. It was not until a while later that it became clear that the troll really could not get up.
Bandaging was originally old Pisili's job, but later it was taken over by Youyi because the other party's hands were too dirty and were not disinfected.
The original bonfire was relit and new firewood was added. Riva treated his wounds by the bonfire while others sat around it.
Carefully take off the clothes, clean out all the dirt inside the wound, sew up the wound little by little with the refugee's sewing needle, then sprinkle medicine powder on it, put a clean cloth on it, and bandage the wound little by little with cloth strips.
Yuyi was not very professional in treating wounds, but he was definitely careful and not afraid of getting dirty. His treatment methods stunned the refugees around him.
After bandaging the wound, he placed his right hand on Riva's shoulder, focused his attention and gathered some strength to heal the wound.
“Pah~”
Yui clapped his hands and happily made a scissors gesture to Riva.
"Done! Does it hurt?"
“It doesn’t hurt anymore!”
When Riva said this, he could clearly hear many people around him sighing with relief. It was obvious that there were a lot of people who cared about him.
"Haha, thank you all for your concern. Don't be so nervous. Just do it the same as before!"
Riva didn't want everyone, who had finally gotten to know each other, to remain so awkward.
After he said that, the atmosphere obviously improved, or rather, the pent-up excitement finally broke out.
"Lord Riva, you are the strongest ranger I have ever seen. I don't think those kingdom generals can compare to you!!"
"Brother Riva is the best, Grandpa, don't you think so?"
"Brother Riva, can you teach me swordsmanship? I want to be as good as you!!!"
"Go, go, go, Lord Riva needs to rest!!!"
"Lord Riva, you must be tired. Rest for a while. I'll make you some soup to replenish your energy!!"
The children's pleading, the adults' thanks, as well as the adults' scolding of the children, all made the camp seem full of vitality and an unprecedented sense of security.
While playing in the camp, four young men carefully ran to the place where the death monster was. They wanted to help Lord Riva take out the broadsword.
The night wind was chilly and the ground was sticky with the troll's blood.
The giant monster's body was already dead and no longer twitched from time to time, but the four young men were still very cautious. After all, this thing was definitely a monster that could scare a child to stop crying at night.
Its body length was nearly four meters, and one palm looked to be half the size of its body. Even its death brought with it a strong sense of oppression.
If they had not seen it with their own eyes, the four people would never have imagined in their dreams that someone could fight one against four, kill one, injure two, and defeat all the giants.
"Guu~ This giant monster looks even bigger up close. Look at its head. If it opens its mouth, it can bite off half of my body in one bite!!!"
"I think it's possible that I could swallow you whole in one gulp!!!"
"Oh, this is horrible, and it smells really bad."
"Hurry up and get to work and warm yourself by the fire. I don't want to stay with this monster!!"
"Um!!"
…
The giant monster was nailed face down into the ground with a broadsword, so the four of them divided into four corners, ready to lift up the huge head.
"Get ready, work hard together, one, two, three!!!"
"one two three!!!"
The four young men worked together and the giant monster's head was lifted off the ground little by little.
"Ok, draw your sword quickly, we can't hold on for too long, it's too heavy!!!"
"OK!!"
The young man named Oak quickly let go of the mask he was holding, made sure the three people with red faces could bear the weight, and then quickly turned to the front of the giant's head.
Only the hilt of a broadsword was left outside, and the blade was pierced into the troll's skull through an eye socket. At this position, the troll's stench became even stronger, and some disgusting thick yellow saliva overflowed from the troll's open mouth.
"Ugh...this is so disgusting!!! I'm going to pull it out, hold on!"
Although the hilt was covered in blood, this was not the time to worry about whether it was dirty or not. Oak grabbed the hilt with both hands and pulled hard, but the broadsword did not move at all.
"Hurry up Oak, we can't lift it anymore, this head is as heavy as a rock!!!"
Ouke's face was almost purple as he held his breath and exerted force at the same time.
"I know!!!!!"
He had already put one foot on the giant's nose, and was using all his strength to struggle against the broadsword.
“Sizzle…Sizzle…”
It felt like pulling one's legs out of a half-solidified mud swamp. The broadsword was pushed out little by little, and a large amount of troll blood gushed out as the broadsword was pulled out.
"Bang~~~"
The sword was pulled out, and Oak took several steps back with the sword, then sat down on the ground.
"Boom~"
The other three were finally able to let go, but the giant monster's head still fell to the ground, splattering blood and mud all over it.
“Hoo…Hoo…Hoo…”
"Huh... huh... huh..."
"Wow... this sword is so heavy!!"
"We just drew our swords... that's it... How strong must Lord Riva be!!!"
As Oak spoke, he looked at the two-handed broadsword he was holding. There were some curls and notches on the blade, and the tip of the sword was even a little bent.
'This is a battle-hardened broadsword, just like its master!'
This is what Oak is thinking at the moment.
After a while, the four men with drawn swords returned to the camp. Old Pisili and others saw that the four of them looked as if they were covered in blood, even more exaggerated than Riva before.
"Master Riva, your swords!! We brought back the long sword and two short swords!!"
Oak held the weapon and placed it carefully next to the campfire.
"Thank you, go wash up!!"
When Riva saw the weapon, he felt a little relieved, and then subconsciously looked at his palm again.
There was an obvious burn mark on the palm of Dawn, and the glow was no longer there.
He looked at Yui who was also staring at the mark in a daze.
"Yuyi, what exactly is this symbol?"
Just when my life was at stake, this symbol lit up, giving me clearer thinking and a sense of power from time to time, otherwise I would have died long ago, right?
This was the mark that Yui had left on himself. Riva clearly remembered the indescribable pain he felt at the time, and even felt that the injury he suffered tonight could not be compared to it.
Yui's eyes were a little evasive, with doubt and a hint of fear on her face, but she did not avoid Riva's question, and she also ignored the dozen or so refugees around her who looked curious.
"Strictly speaking, this is more than just a simple burn mark..."
Yui looked up at the stars in the sky, exhaled and relaxed before continuing.
"It is a special mark, a symbol of fighting against fate. It represents fearlessness, sacrifice, wisdom... and strength... It also represents the eternal morning light!"
