Those who had interacted with the Zoogs would know that every Elder Zoog was very cunning, so cunning that they knew human beings were just as cunning.
'Generous reward ', the young Zoogs were tempted. This was the Nightmare Man, he had just cleaned up the House of Worm.
Even though the Elder Zoog was tempted, he kept his cool and said, "We really can't do anything about other illnesses but flesh wounds, like a torn stomach, intestines falling out … that's different."
He patted his stomach slowly and said with melancholy, "Mr. Nightmare Man, you have to understand that us Zoogs are often scratched by those evil cats. If they are not happy, we will suffer. Thankfully, we Zoogs are a strong and intelligent race. Over the years, we have developed a way to heal external wounds like the scars on your face. "
'My scars? ' Gu Jun's heart skipped a beat. Even though this was not the most important issue at hand, it would be good news if they could be healed as well.
He had asked the Zoogs of the Enchanted Forest before and they all said they could not do anything.'These stingy rats … '
"What kind of method?" He asked.
"Even though our settlement is quite far from Ulthar, it is very close to the House of Worm." The Elder Zoog continued to pat himself, "Without a way to save my life, I don't dare stay here."
"Sir." Gu Jun said darkly, "We are in a hurry to save people, please get to the point."
With that, the Elder Zoog felt like he had the situation under control. "I wonder what exactly you mean by 'generous reward'?"
"There are 8 injured people here. Including my face, after healing, each of them will be given 10,000 grouse, that's 90,000 in total." Gu Jun said.
"Just grouse?" The Elder Zoog tried to calm the young Zoogs. "The value of life is not something that can be measured by a few grouse."
Lou Xiaoning and the rest walked over to listen in. Lou Xiaoning could not help but grumble, "What, 90,000 grouse?"
"That's still not enough. We're talking about the value of life …"
Seeing how arrogant the Elder Zoog was, Gu Jun's scarred face darkened. These Zoogs bullied the weak and feared the strong, he would not rest until he scared them. "Sir, please do not forget why you need to pay tribute to the cats at Ulthar. We can talk about the reward later. If I say it will be generous, then it will be generous. Now, saving people is more important. "His gaze chilled, causing the Little Zoogs to shrink to the side.
"Of course! Life is priceless. Saving people is more important. " The Elder Zoog quickly patted his head. Compared to the tribe leader of the Enchanted Forest, he was still lacking. This time, it was all his fault for being greedy. It had no choice but to say, "The 'generous reward' is a promise, not some grouse and ducks, but a promise that can be turned into more precious things …"
Seeing the murderous gleam in the nightmare man's eyes, the Elder Zoog immediately slipped away. "I'll take you there now, follow me."
Earlier, the group had used their knives to chop down some branches from the surrounding trees to make a few simple stretchers. Ma Feng, Uncle Dan and the rest who could not walk on their own were placed on the stretchers and carried by the others. Then, the group carried the other items and followed the Zoogs towards a certain direction in the wasteland.
Gu Jun walked at the front of the group. As he paid attention to the movement in the fog, he listened to the Elder Zoog's explanation of the method.
"Come to think of it, the main reason we're staying here is because of this thing."
The Elder Zoog was talking about a unique plant that grew on the Kaar Plains. Its name could be translated as' Golden Aloe ', that was the name given by the Zoogs. However, this place was shrouded in fog and danger. The Golden Aloe grew in an extremely secretive place so only the Zoogs knew about its existence.
The group of 16 followed the Zoogs through the wasteland for about 2 hours. Ma Feng's consciousness started to fade again. This caused Gu Jun and Uncle Dan to panic.
Thankfully, by then, the Elder Zoog had led them to their destination. This was a place far away from the House of Worm and the desolation had disappeared.
This place was quiet and beautiful. They walked around a cluster of rocks and walked along a small lake. The grass grew as tall as a person and they saw the patch of Golden Aloe.
Gu Jun narrowed his eyes. Just by looking at it, he could feel a sense of exuberance … There were about a dozen stalks of aloe, but each stalk was about 3 to 4 metres tall. Large green leaves spread out from the stalks, giving off a strong sense of vitality.
"That's the place. You just need to sit inside the Golden Aloe." The Elder Zoog said, "Let it envelop you and your wounds will be healed by its sticky fluid."
Gu Jun had heard the Elder Zoog mention this along the way. From a medical perspective, this plant was the ultimate golden version of Golden Aloe.
Aloe gel was a kind of natural medicine. It had anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. It could also increase cell vitality and promote wound healing.
Of course, the effect would not be immediate, it would only provide some nutrients. But this was Dreamlands, the rules were different from Earth.
The Elder Zoog was sure this was not the effect of a spell, it could only cleanse but not corrupt one's mind.
"The vitality of the Golden Aloe comes from the vitality of Dreamlands." He patted his head and said, "These Golden Aloes can only take root here, they cannot be transplanted to other worlds, not anywhere else in Dreamlands. Mr. Nightmare Man, please don't do that. We've tried it before, it really doesn't work. "
Of course, Gu Jun did have that in mind. If he could bring the Golden Aloe back with him or use its raw materials to research into medicine …
"Once it's dead, it becomes normal." The Elder Zoog said, "We've plucked it, eaten it and applied it, it's as good as useless to us. But we can use it to brew wine, we Zoogs are a race that is good at brewing. "
Seeing Gu Jun studying the Golden Aloes, the Elder Zoog was quite nervous. The Golden Aloes were the foundation of their tribe's survival.
"Mr. Nightmare Man." He emphasized again, "Other than healing external wounds, the Golden Aloe has no other use. It can't bring the dead back to life."
He was really afraid that the Nightmare Man was going to steal the Golden Aloes. He shouldn't have been greedy for his reward, greed was a bad thing.
"Save them first." Gu Jun did not say he would not do anything else because the Zoog's words could not be trusted. If the Golden Aloe really had a miraculous effect, he would have to give it a try.
Since the Zoogs had only tried to cure themselves before, the Elder Zoog could not guarantee that the Golden Aloe would be able to cure the Golden Aloe.
However, Ma Feng's injuries were too severe. If not for the earlier treatment, he would not have made it here.
Now that there was no other way, Ma Feng could only do this clinical trial. Uncle Dan and the rest were not that badly injured, so they could wait.
Therefore, Gu Jun and Gold worked together to carry Ma Feng into one of the Golden Aloes. Ma Feng only had his right hand dangling out and he wore a functioning rationality assessment stone on his wrist. The Elder Zoog said it would not heal instantly like a spell, it needed time to heal.
After putting Ma Feng down, Gu Jun and Jin Jun walked away. They studied the Golden Aloe with Uncle Dan and Lou Xiaoning.
The giant aloe vera leaves slowly wrapped around Feng Wei. The rationality monitoring stone on his right wrist didn't flicker with a red light.
