The next day, Sui Xiong and Ray said goodbye to Wall and Olian, and continued their journey to the south.
At Ray's strong request, they went to the most luxurious restaurant in Geerteng City, had an expensive breakfast, bought a batch of camping supplies, and replaced the worn-out cheap goods in Ray's space bag.
It took a lot of time to do these things, and when they really left the city, it was almost noon.
"Why don't we have lunch before we leave?" Ray suggested.
Sui Xiong, who had been delayed by these trivial things for a whole morning, could not bear it anymore. He jumped several times on Ray's back angrily, "Go now! Now! Immediately! Immediately! Don't waste even a single second! "
Ray sighed, put on his backpack, and walked out of the city gate gloomily.
After leaving this time, he did not know how long it would be before he could see people again!
"The Wild Marsh of Ancient Woods, the Mountain of Broken Clouds, the Ancient Forest … We have to go all the way to the Commonwealth of Mifata to return to the civilized world!" He lamented as he walked, "We have to eat and sleep in the open all the way, and we have to face all kinds of dangerous things — why is my life so hard!"
"I think I should help you do a brain surgery to remove those boring complaints," Sui Xiong said fiercely.
Ray sighed, shook his head, and walked silently.
But Sui Xiong could clearly hear that he was constantly muttering "tyrant" in his heart.
Ray's physical strength was very good, and even with the backpack, he was not slow. When the sun was slightly past noon, and it was time for lunch, they had already left the densely populated area, and came to a desolate forest.
"I remember that last time when we came to the forest, we heard a cry for help, and we also picked up a weirdo," Sui Xiong said with a smile, "I don't know if this time will —"
Before he finished his words, they heard a familiar cry for help.
"This sound is a little familiar," Sui Xiong said.
"Of course it's familiar, isn't that Steele!" Ray put away the dry food grumpily, put the backpack back on his back, and ran toward the place where the cry for help came from with a long spear in his hand, "Why did this weirdo run into the forest again! Could it be that she found a group of lovers to have sex in the wild again … "
It turned out that this time he really wronged Steele.
When they arrived, Steele was running away.
She was wearing the leather clothes of an ordinary adventurer, holding a sword that was more decorative than practical, and was running away while calling for help. Looking at her sweaty face and her battered and exhausted appearance, she should have been running for a long time. Especially since there were several wounds on her body, and the places she passed by left obvious bloodstains. It was obvious that she had been through a battle and her injuries were not light.
Not far behind her, a few ferocious wolves were following her unhurriedly, waiting for her to be exhausted before they attacked her. Perhaps in the previous battle, Steele had unleashed her potential and killed one or two wolves, which made these guys understand that humans were not easy prey. Therefore, they chose another method. They wanted to rely on chasing and driving her away, forcing her, who was already injured, to exhaust the last of her strength to avoid danger.
Seeing Ray appear, Steele was overjoyed and shouted for help.
Perhaps because of the arrival of her savior, she, who was originally relying on her will to survive, suddenly went limp and fell to the ground. This time, she really could not stand up.
Fortunately, Ray ran very fast and rushed to her side before the wolves. Facing the mighty black armored knight with a long spear, the wolves, who bullied the weak and feared the strong, retreated with unwilling whimpers, and soon disappeared without a trace.
Ray was too lazy to chase them. These wolves were just ordinary beasts and posed no threat to experienced adventurers. As for ordinary people who lacked fighting power, knowing that they could not fight, but still running to such a desolate and remote place, they must have been prepared to be eaten by the wolves. Even a god could not save people who wanted to die, let alone Ray, who was not a god.
After driving away the wolves, he turned back to look at Steele's situation. Looking at her, he could not help but frown.
Steele's injuries were more serious than he had expected.
There were several bite wounds on her limbs. Looking at the wounds, it was obvious that she had been bitten by wolves. These wounds were not only quite complicated to suture, but also infiltrated with wolf saliva, which would almost certainly lead to infection, and she might even suffer from the dangerous lycanthropy … If she had that kind of disease, she would have one foot in the underworld.
However, these wounds were not the most serious on her body. The most serious one on her body was a stab wound below her left ribs. After a brief examination, Ray was sure that this wound was almost fatal — it should have been stabbed by a long dagger, from below her ribs. What was more terrible was that the dagger was poisoned, and what flowed out of the wound was some black poisonous blood!
Normally, this stab should have been a fatal wound, but he did not expect that she could hold on for so long.
"Her heart is on the right side, and her lungs are somewhat deformed." Sui Xiong scanned and saw the cause. "The key is that this stab was not to the right side and did not hurt her lungs, so she could have the strength to fight and escape. But the poison has spread in her body, so it is probably hopeless. "
Ray knew that the so-called "hopeless" only meant in a general sense. If the jellyfish god was willing to help, there should still be hope.
But to spend energy to save this vain, dissolute, and cold woman?
Obviously, it was not necessary.
Steele seemed to be aware of her own situation. She forced a smile and struggled out of Ray's arms, who was checking on her injuries. She made herself lie down in a more comfortable position.
"Your Excellency, thank you for saving my life. Although it is only temporary, compared to being eaten by wolves, it is a blessing to be able to die peacefully like this."
Perhaps it was because people who were about to die spoke kindly, her smile was very peaceful, and her face was very pale due to excessive blood loss. She did not have her usual seductive and dissolute look, but instead looked a bit tranquil.
"That stab, who stabbed you?" Ray asked in a low voice. "It is not a small matter to kill a noble!"
"A noble? Haha, not anymore, "Steele said with a bitter smile. Steele said with a bitter smile, "It was my follower who wanted to kill me. I thought I would have a loyal follower after I was expelled from the territory of Geerteng, but it turned out that he wanted to kill me because of the money I had with me …"
"He could not have run far. Later, we will take a detour and send him to you!" Ray said coldly.
Although he hated this dissolute woman, he hated servants who betrayed their masters even more!
"There's no need for that. I've already killed him. I don't know where he learned the skills of a thief, but that's all … All these years, probably because of my style, everyone has forgotten that I can also wield a bow, wield a sword, and ride a horse. Which woman in the pioneer territory doesn't know how to fight?"
She laughed a few times, but there was blood at the corner of her mouth.
"Don't talk so much, it will only increase the pain," Ray advised.
Steele sighed, looked up at the sky, and did not say a word. No one knew what she was thinking.
After a while, when Ray thought she was going to die, she suddenly said, "Your Excellency, I want to beg you one last thing."
"What is it? As long as it does not violate my principles, I can do it. "Facing a woman who was seriously injured and about to die, Ray could not help but feel a little soft-hearted.
According to his style in the past, there was absolutely no such thing as mercy. But since he traveled with Sui, he was influenced by what he saw and heard along the way, and with all kinds of experiences, he had unconsciously changed his way of thinking.
Hearing Ray's promise, Steele's lifeless eyes lit up. "For so many years, I've fought with humans and magical beasts, but I've never fought with a dragon … Can you show your true form and fight with me to your heart's content?"
Ray was stunned, and could hardly believe his ears.
This strange woman … Did she really understand what he was talking about?!
"If it was in normal times, I would definitely not dare to make such a request. The physique of a dragon is too different from that of a human, and having a fight with a dragon can kill me. But now I am going to die, so it doesn't matter. " Steele's face was flushed again, and her usual seductive look appeared in her eyes again. "Being killed by a dragon is the best ending for me!"
Because of extreme excitement, her face was frighteningly red, and her body was slightly trembling. She had not really started to do it, but the stimulation of dying, the crazy inspiration, and the burning desire had already made her crazy.
Looking at her eager and blushing face, her eyes that were almost shooting out the fire of desire, and her eyes that had begun to lose focus, Ray only felt a headache, and hurriedly asked Sui Xiong for help.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty Void Mask! You must help me this time! "
"Help you?" Sui Xiong was stunned, "How can I help you? Do you want me to use a legendary transformation spell to turn you into a dragon? Well, wait a minute, I have to prepare the spell … "
"I don't mean that!" Ray almost shouted, "I mean, you have to help me think of a way!"
"What can I do?" Sui Xiong asked. "You promised to help her fulfill her last wish, and her last wish is to have sex with a dragon. Apart from turning you into a dragon, I can't think of any other way to help you."
"I don't want to do this at all!"
"Are you an ascetic?"
"Of course not." Ray sighed and said, "If it were in normal times, since I promised, it would not be a big deal to have sex with her. Anyway, I won't lose anything. But now … she was going to stop breathing in the middle of it! Then I will be a pervert! "
"To be honest, if you become a dragon, I think she will die as soon as you start." Sui Xiong recalled the dragon he had met in the Graystone Mountains, and compared its huge body with Steele's weak body in his heart. He could not help but click his tongue, "If you insist on doing it, you will probably become a pile of minced meat …"
Ray was creeped out and became more and more crazy, "Then you should help me think of a way! You are a god, and I am your believer! Are you just going to watch me be unlucky? "
"Considering how bad the aristocratic circle is, I really don't think it is bad luck …" Sui Xiong muttered, "After all, she is not dead … Even if she is dead, there is still a saying, 'do it while it is hot'. By the way, do you know? In a faraway country, there was once a king. After his wife died and was about to be buried, he could not help but have sex with her … "
Ray was so angry that his whole body trembled. He pressed his right hand on the hilt of his sword, and it seemed that he would fight Sui Xiong to the death.
Seeing that he was really angry, Sui Xiong did not tease him anymore. He thought for a while and showed himself.
"Steele Geerteng, I am not willing to save people like you. But if I don't save you, my believer will face the dilemma of breaking his promise. So thank your good luck. Your last crazy idea has given you the last chance. "
As he said this, he stretched out his tentacles, which were like sharp blades, and pierced into Steele's body, who had fallen into a coma.
"Injured? Lost too much blood? Poisoned? That's nothing! Even if you die, I can bring you back to life! "
